Sun released a few days ago an update to their JRE version 6 update 10.  This update is of special interest to the ColdFusion community because it solves a renown bug when class loading cfc's. Usual behaviors for this bug on previous JDK 6.X was incredible slow performance on loading a highly used CFC application.  I just updated my servers to use the new 10 update and everything flies!  I highly recommend that you update your servers to use JDK 6 update 10.&...

You can find it now under my projects section by using the link below http://www.luismajano.com/index.cfm?event=ehProjects.dspColdbox So welcome to ColdBox. Please use the trac site for issues and the wiki, which I have been putting a lot of content. Use the forums for any discussions, and if you need to contact me use the conta...

Thanks to ColdBox's easy i18n and resource bundle support (Paul Hastings and Ray Camden) the dashboard application is now in Spanish for all of the Latinos in the CF community. Also, the samples gallery application is in Spanish. I will be updating all the documentation to Spanish too, but it will take me some time. I really would appreciate your feedback on typos or sentences that really do not make any sense or if you want to help me translate, well,you are more than welcome. You can d...

I just finished uploading some initial observations of the beta. Specifically one with the ApplicationStartHandler, where it was not firing automatically, just manually through the fwreinit action. You can download the update, or you can use the auto-update feature of the dashboard. So give that auto-update feature a spin and let me know if it blows up. http://www.luismajano.com/projects/coldbox Enjoy.

I will be releasing a minor update this Friday for ColdBox. This is special, because it now includes a JavaLoader CFC plug-in and it works great. It remains true to the actual cfc, just a little bit simpler to use. I will be including a new sample application to demonstrate how to use the JavaLoader cfc and updating the Wiki. It also includes a fix for the CustomException H...

Well, I am finally opening the lid on a project I have been developing since August of last year: ColdBox a ColdFusion Framework. I am just releasing the specs for this framework for now as I complete all the documentation and sample applications. If you want to see how it works, well you are already using it. This site, its blog (Raymond Camden's BlogCFC by the way), and its forums (

This new revision is now available for download. It includes the new JavaLoader cfc by Mark Mandel as a ColdBox plugin, a new sample application to show how to use the plugin, two fixes and mostly code cleanup. The docs have been updated and so has the wiki. In the future I will be mostly updating the wiki docs, and posting the documentation there. So please give this revision a try. You can use the auto-update feature on the Dashboard or just simply download it.

I just realized that the bundle upload was incorrect. You should now be able to download the coldbox bundle. My apologies, the file escaped my mind!! Enjoy
