I kept racking my brain, and the one idea that I keep coming back to is generating output using a two-step process: one that compiles the code down into a CFML template; and, one that executes the compiled code, generating the final output. Since this seems to be the only idea that I can come up with, I wanted to experiment with encapsulating both steps inside a single set of ColdFusion custom tags in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4008-considering-two-step-coldfusion-custom-tags-that-generate-cfml-code-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-48.htm Tweet - Wil De Bruin - Long time ColdBox user still learned from the 102 ColdBox Tips102 tips for coldbox?

Here's his post on the Facebook CF Programmers group. As he noted there, he had "found an interesting opportunity outside of Adobe", and he added that "ColdFusion continues to be an important part [of] Adobe and nothing changes for the product with this. Adobe is actively looking to hire a replacement for my role."Of course I wish Rakshith all the best. He guided the release of CF2021, which many think is one of the best new CF releases in that timeframe, and he will be missed. But time marches on, as does CF.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2021/3/15/rakshith_moves_on_CF_Product_Managers_past_and_futureBlog - Ortus Solutions - Michael Born - DocBox 3.0 ReleasedSay hello to DocBox 3.0!

One of the options I was considering is changing the way the custom tags are invoked. However, in doing so, I've stumbled upon the fact that the getBaseTagList() function changes based on the invocation technique and on the ColdFusion runtime engine: Adobe ColdFusion vs. Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4007-getbasetaglist-behavior-with-different-coldfusion-custom-tag-invocations-and-engines.htm Blog - Ray Camden - Hello ( Again ), AdobeA few days ago I shared that I was leaving HERE Technologies and starting a new role. Today I'm doing something new - returning to a company I've worked at before. Today I'm starting a new role as a Senior Developer Evangelist for Adobe, focusing on the document services APIs that you may have noticed me blogging about the last few weeks.https://www.raymondcamden.com/2021/03/15/hello-again-adobe Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Extending A Long-Lived Distributed Locks With Redis In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47At InVision, we use Redis to implement our distributed locks - that is, locks that need to be honored across a number of horizontally-scaled ColdFusion pods. In the vast majority of cases, these locks are short-lived and could likely be removed if we had better practices around idempotent operations. However, one of the distributed locks is very long-lived and creates synchronization around a heavy processing workflow. The duration of this distributed lock poses a significant problem in a context where ColdFusion pods can be killed at any moment, leaving the distributed lock open in an unmanaged state. As such, I wanted to explore the idea of using short-lived distributed locks that can be dynamically extended in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4005-dynamically-extending-a-long-lived-distributed-locks-with-redis-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Extending A Distributed Lock TTL Using CFThread, Redis, And Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47The other day, after posting about the idea of dynamically extending a distributed lock timeout in Lucee CFML, Jan Sedivy - our lead engineer on the Freehand whiteboarding product at InVision - mentioned that he does something similar in Golang; only, instead of having the synchronized task explicitly update the TTL (Time To Live) on the Redis key, he has an asynchronous Goroutine that updates the Redis key behind the scenes. This sounded like a really clever approach. So, I wanted to see if I could achieve the same thing using CFThread, Redis, and Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4006-extending-a-distributed-lock-ttl-using-cfthread-redis-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htmBlog - Brad Wood - Detect if a User is Online with RabbitMQ Web StompWe're using RabbitMQ and its Web Stomp plugin for websockets for several projects at work.  Using a Stomp.js library in the browser, our app users connect and subscribe to topics using their username and JWT, which we validate using a custom HTTP back end auth in Rabbit.  I've recently written a rest-over-stomp module for ColdBox MVC which allows you to push the response of any Coldbox event or API call out over a websocket channel to any browser listening on that channel.  This allows for the following...http://wwvv.codersrevolution.com/blog/detect-if-a-user-is-online-with-rabbitmq-web-stomp Finished Docs for Stomp: https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/REST-over-STOMP/blob/main/README.md Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - ContentBox v5.0.0 Beta ReleasedToday is a majestic day!

I've even advocated that my team be rolled into the "Support Organization" such that we could become the engineering arm of the Customer-Facing Team (CFT). And while this move will likely never take place, I think it helps illustrate the way that my team views its role within the company; and, the way in which we orient around the needs of our users. Which is why, when talking about "customer empathy", "intelligent urgency", and team motivations with Jony Jeyaratnam, my Director of Engineering, I made a bold suggestion: Every customer-facing call should have an engineer on it.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4004-every-customer-facing-call-should-have-an-engineer-on-it.htm Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - ColdBox v6.3.0 ReleasedToday we released ColdBox v6.3.0 as a minor release with some major bug squashing and some major performance improvements.
