Fusebox's Noose

By barneyb on February 2, 2010

From an email Sean Corfield sent to the Fusebox5 mailing list (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusebox5/message/4566):
I just wanted to provide a brief update on [Fusebox and 4CFF]. 4CFF discussed Fusebox with TeraTech (specifically John Zhu of 4CFF and Michael Smith of TeraTech) and were unable to reach an agreement on Fusebox joining 4CFF. One particular sticking point was that [...]

Amazon CloudFront CFC

By barneyb on January 19, 2010

Amazon CloudFront is a CDN that sits atop their S3 file hosting service to provide caching and geographically dispersed delivery.  It's all very simple, except security.  Much like my Amazon S3 CFC's original goal, my new Amazon CloudFront CFC's primary purpose is to ease the creation of signed URLs for CloudFront.  You can grab a [...]

Implicit Blocks in Fusebox 5.5.1

By barneyb on January 7, 2010

The XML syntax used by Fusebox since the 4.0 version allows for conditional expressions like these:

In the latter case, the
tags are basically irrelevant, because they provide the same containership and semantic as the tag itself.  Fusebox 5.0 and older allowed you to omit the
tags in this [...]

I Had a Doubt (About CFGroovy2 and Ehcache)

By barneyb on November 19, 2009

A couple months ago I added Ehcache support to CFGroovy2 as an alternative to the simple HashMap/WeakReference caching that had been there since it's inception.  I waffled a little bit at the time, but it seemed like the right thing to do.  I've changed my mind, and removed the Ehcache functionality in the latest build.  [...]

imageTranslateDrawingAxis is Your Friend

By barneyb on November 19, 2009

I briefly mentioned imageTranslateDrawingAxis in my previous post about Fusebox flowcharts, but wanted to provide a more self-contained example of how it can be used to great effect.  The idea here is to draw a house with a window, and to do it in a relative manner, rather than an absolute manner.  Consider these two [...]

Fusebox XML Flowchart Generator

Fusebox XML Flowchart Generator

By barneyb on November 17, 2009

About a week ago someone posted on the Fusebox mailing list looking for a way to generate flowcharts from his Fusebox XML files.  Adalon was suggested, but it didn't do quite what he was looking for.  So I sunk some of my spare time into building such a tool, and even managed to refrain from [...]

CFYourFavoriteJVMLanguage

By barneyb on October 9, 2009

Just in case you didn't come to my talk on leveraging Groovy in your CFML applications at CFUnited, I wanted to share this simple CFM page I demoed:
<cfimport prefix="g" taglib="cfgroovy2″ />
<cfscript>
myArray = [
"barney"
];
</cfscript>
<!— thanks Groovy —>
<g:script>
variables.myArray.add("heather")
</g:script>
<!— thanks Quercus —>
<g:script lang="php">
<?php

CFGroovy2 and Ehcache

By barneyb on September 26, 2009

Until this point, CFGroovy2 has used a custom WeakHashmap/WeakReference caching mechanism for compiled scripts.  It works, and it ensures that the script cache won't run your JVM out of memory, but that's about it's only selling point.
Today I plugged in Ehcache as an optional caching backend if it's available on your classpath.  When CFGroovy2 spins [...]

Groovy Objects in CFML (a la Ben)

By barneyb on September 17, 2009

Ben Nadel posted an interesting article over on his blog titled Instantiating Groovy Classes In The ColdFusion Context where he demoed how to create a class factory in Groovy and invoke it from CFML to insantiate new instances of Groovy classes without actually reentering a Groovy context.  I wanted to expound on what he demoed [...]

This Is Why Groovy Rules

By barneyb on September 10, 2009

So I have a collection of newsletters, and each newsletter has a collection of articles.  Each article, in turn, has a collection of authors and a collection of categories.  Now what I need to do is get a list of unique handles for all the authors and categories for a given newsletter.  Here's the CFML [...]
