by kai 02/04/2013

So – more on the whole Java 7 thing again. The other day I got an “Illegal key size or default parameters” error on one of my dev VMs. I was using the VM for quite a while and from what I could see the codebase had not changed significantly. Weird. All of a sudden […]

.NET Framework when installing Railo with IIS

by kai 01/04/2013

The other day I helped a client to install Railo 4 with IIS 7.5 on a Windows server. Their problem was that the Railo installer seemed to have worked fine (as Railo itself worked without any issues on the internal webserver port), but the IIS connection didn’t have to be setup at all. A short […]

Aaaand… another JVM update…

by kai 10/03/2013

I thought it’d be over, but it turns out that I was wrong. Oracle has pushed out JDK/JRE 1.6.0_43 – their first (of maybe many) security bugfixes of Java 6 post-end-of-support. The new security baseline is now 1.6.0_43, check out the release notes and the relevant Security Alert document. From what I can see the patched […]

by kai 18/02/2013

Yeah, so much for “I’ll post part 2 tomorrow…“. Sorry guys, life and work got kind of in the way. Here’s part 2 now though 🙂 4. Date comparison If you use if constructs for string comparison in ColdFusion, the server will always check if a string on either side of your if-condition could potentially […]

CFML differences between Railo and ColdFusion 9/10 (Part 1)

by kai 09/02/2013

As promised in my last post, I’m starting a short series of observations I made when working with clients here in Australia and New Zealand on porting CFML applications between ColdFusion and Railo. Please note that this post (and the follow-up posts) is not meant to be judgmental in any way, it’s just supposed to deliver […]

Thoughts on CFML in Railo, ColdFusion and Open BD

by kai 09/02/2013

Recently I’ve become more involved with the Railo community. A lot of clients (and myself, too) are really impressed with what the Railo team has delivered with version 4 of the Railo server. There’s a lot of interest and inquires from people wanting help to investigate what’d be involved with moving/porting their application from Adobe […]
