I have had some suggestions for the fwreinit flag to be protected in order to reinitialize the application at hand. What do you think? Is this overkill? The application reinitializes, but it does not crash. It just adds some extra cycles to the request in order to clear and reinit the app. Please send me your comments, suggestions? Should an application reinit, be password protected? Thanks, Luis

Hi Luis,

I think it really important to keep our APP more secure. Why we allow site users to reinit our app. some users they just play with these kind of things and keep reinit app.

In my app i am using onAppinit method to call global components + static data queriries and other global static info. so keep reinit the app cause some problem of server timeout and also whole system get very slow.

Thanks

Sana

If you allow to set a init key and init password is enough. You can set it to a complex password which no user could guess. That's secure enough for me.

p.s. this captcha text is really annoying. Check out Charlie's solution, also default in a latest version of blogCFC

Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!

The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.

For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork

Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.
