I was working on setting the transaction isolation level for the first CF9 ORM application I have put into production and thought I would share what I learned.

The first thing I learned is that by default, hibernate will use whatever isolation the datasource it is using has set.  In the drivers Coldfusion uses for MSSQL, the default is TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED. 

What I needed for my application was TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, so I knew that this had to change.  I researched how to change it at the datasource level, but couldn't find a "quick and dirty" way to do that, so I decided that since this application was using hibernate ORM, I would set it there.  If anyone of you knows how to change this setting at the datasource level on CF9, feel free to chime in.  I know how to change it on CF 6/7, but that doesn't work on CF 9.

I ran into an interesting issue using the jQuery UI tabs ajax style and Internet Explorer. 

If you setup the tabs with the with the cache turned off, they will still be cached in IE.   I had worked around this issue by adding a counter that changed every time to my href for the tab, but I found a more elegant solution and thought I would share.

The eclipse help plugins have been updated for this 3.0.0 M4 release. So update now.

Just an FYI that I just updated the bits for the 3.0.0 M4 download. I had some leftover branch code I forgot to cleanup in the build creation. So the build that is correct is coldbox-buildID-201001190809. So please check your build id's. This is the latest and should be ok. Thanks.
