ColdFusion (31 comments)
I’ve spent the last few days in NYC with the rest of Evangelist team. The purpose of the offsite meeting is to share knowledge of existing products and get a peek at things to come. To kickoff the meeting, I talked about ColdFusion and made sure that everyone on the team knew how to build services and access them through Flex/Ajax. So next time you see an Adobe Evangelist demoing Flex with PHP/Ruby/Java… be sure to chastise them, cuz now there is no excuse.
Anyway, as part of my preparation I took some time to clean up my demos and packaged them up into an archive. I’ve shared a lot of these before one-on-one so you may already have a CF8Demo.zip lying around. I’m considering this rev version 2.
Version 2 includes:
- Ajax Proxy / JavaScript Remoting
- UI Controls
- Application Wizards
- Captcha
- .NET
- Windows System Log Viewer
- System Processes (AJAX/Flex/AIR)
- Flex Chat (LCDS/ColdFusion)
- Guided Forms (Flex to PDF via ColdFusion)
- PDF Merge
- PDF Forms (Help Desk)
- PDF Editor
- On Demand Presentations
Just drop everything in your web root and setup a datasource named ‘cfartgallery’. Everything runs on the default cfartgallery database that ships with ColdFusion 8.
Hope this is helpful. I’ve got a couple more entries back logged that I’ll release soon that dive into some of these a bit more.

Hey Adam,Thanks for posting this. I just downloaded the package to check some things out and noticed you're using App.cfm and onRequestEnd.cfm for layout purposes. That's kind of odd and not really an example of best practices I'd say. Is there a reason you did this, or were you just doing the quick and dirty way?
Also, you may want to add a clear:both after the div's in your layout. Otherwise debug info floats too (if turned on) and looks kinda yucky.
