I launched coldfusiondocs.com in December, 2007 and back then, it was a Flex based app. I got feedback from several people and everyone liked the app. However, for the past year or so, I have not been able to give it the time and attention that it deserves for several reasons. I have been keeping […]
Today, I encountered an error with one of my Railo powered websites (with MySQL as database) – it started throwing an error wherever column aliases were being used in the queries. On a cfdump, the column aliases were just not there in the resultset. The original column name was, though. Running the same query in […]

A few days ago, I wrote an API wrapper for Amazon Simple Email Service. Today, I thought of converting it into a ColdBox Plugin for use within ColdBox apps. I have added the plugin source code to the existing github repository for the project. Feel free to use, test and report any issues (if found).
I work with Railo and Amazon S3 on an almost daily basis and one of the things I recently looked at was how to upload a file directly to Amazon S3 when a form with a file type field is submitted. Turns out it is pretty easy to do so. Railo has built in support […]
Luis Majano posted on his blog about a ColdBox contest that allows you to win a Kindle Fire or an iPod Nano. ColdBox 3.5.0 Beta has been released just yesterday and I believe it is a good opportunity to develop and win prizes at the same time. I am a regular ColdBox user myself and […]
If you have an application/page that returns only XML or JSON repsonses and the end client is not a browser (an API e.g.) and you want to use Google Analytics for tracking your API calls, then you won’t be able to use the standard Google Analytics Javascript code. There is no browser involved and you […]
