Here is a video webinar of our release of DataBoss v1.1.0, enjoy!

by Luis Majano

We are proud to announce today a minor release for Ortus DataBoss version 1.1.0.  This release fixes lots of issues reported and also introduces one of DataBoss' most impressive feature yet: RESTFul ORM exports.  You can now use DataBoss as a centralized data hub with export capabilities of data and entity with its relationships in JSON, JSONP, XML, WDDX or even PDF formats.  We have completely documented the RESTFul endpoints for DataBoss and even added pagination to the native API.

We have also added localized support for all dates and times and even added a fancy time picker to make time entry a lot easier for applications.

We are proud to announce today the public release of the Ortus DataBoss Trial Edition.  This trial edition expires after a few days but it is fully functional so you can kick the tires and give DataBoss a test spin.  If you don't know what DataBoss is, let me introduce to you our new brain child: DataBoss : Dynamic Administrator.

What is DataBoss?

Ortus DataBoss is an application that will help you manage CFML Object Relational Mapper (ORM) objects without the need of writing administrative code for them; thus a Dynamic Administrator.  DataBoss will talk to the underlying ORM engine (Hibernate) and get all the necessary information to manage all the ORM entities and its relationships in that specific CFML application DataBoss has been deployed to.  You can watch our introductory video to get a quick overview of what DataBoss is and how it can benefit your development.

DataBoss is fully documented and production ready for Adobe ColdFusion 9, 10 and also Railo Open Source CFML Engine.  You can visit our product page to learn about its capabilities so you can purchase your copy today or test out the trial edition.  Below are some great resources so you can get started with DataBoss.
