Don’t forget to log the error!Did you know that if you “handle” an error in CFML, that error will NOT be logged to CF’s application.log file, like errors typically would be?And do you know why that could be a problem, and how easily you can solve it, in one line with CFLOG? Read on.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/08/writing-cfml-error-handler-dont-forget-log-error/ Blog - Giancarlo Gomez - Working with FTP with TLS/SSL on ColdFusionIt appears that cfftp does not support connecting to a server using FTP with TLS/SSL, their secure connection only works if the server is setup as SFTP. So in order to hopefully help others, below is some example code of how you can do this easily on ColdFusion using Java's FTPSClient Class. https://www.giancarlogomez.dev/2019/08/working-with-ftp-with-tlsssl-on.htmlBlog - Ben Nadel - Considering Index Design And Database Uniqueness Constraints With Soft-Deletes In MySQL 5.6.37These alternate states - canceled and failed - aren't exactly soft-deletes; but, they are close enough in nature to merit the same terminology. The problem was, I had a uniqueness constraint on the companyID column of the primary table; so, any attempt to track an alternate state for said company would violate that constraint. To get around this, I ended up adding a nullable isCurrent column to the primary table and to the uniqueness constraint index.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3691-considering-index-design-and-database-uniqueness-constraints-with-soft-deletes-in-mysql-5-6-37.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Trying To Find My Preferred Format For Method Annotations In Lucee 5.3.2.77One of the many differences between Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) and Lucee CFML is that Lucee won't alter the runtime behavior of the ColdFusion code based on JavaDoc-style annotations. As such, for method annotations to be applied, they have to be in the actual method declaration following the arguments list. This isn't a style that I've used before, so I don't have a good instinct for it. And, as someone who is notoriously maniacal about formatting, this doesn't feel good. Therefore, I decided to sit down, play around with different formatting options for method annotation in Lucee CFML, and figure out which one I feel the most comfortable with moving forward.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3690-trying-to-find-my-preferred-format-for-method-annotations-in-lucee-5-3-2-77.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - REST And GraphQL Are Not Your Only Choices When Building An HTTP API don't believe that the web development community is having an honest discussion about GraphQL. This is because, GraphQL is almost exclusively presented as an alternative to REST (Representational State Transfer). And, while GraphQL may remove points-of-friction found in REST, the dishonesty is rooted in a false and implicit dichotomy when it comes to API implementations. The truth is, GraphQL and REST are not your only choices when it comes to building an HTTP-based API. And while this may be obvious to many experienced web application developers, it is not nearly as obvious to newcomers. As such, I think that the community should be striving to have a more nuanced conversation.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3689-rest-and-graphql-are-not-your-only-choices-when-building-an-http-api.htmBlog - Ortus Solutions - DataBoss - Dynamic Administrator v3.0.0 Released!It has been a long time coming, but we finally get a major release for DataBoss our Dynamic Administrator.
