Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring
Spring Boot developers know the pain of evaluating view technologies. Thymeleaf is great — until you need more expressiveness. FreeMarker is powerful — until the syntax fights you. What if you could write templates in a dynamic JVM language that gives you the full power of the platform, feels natural, and requires zero setup to integrate?
Meet the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy
Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.
Everything seems fine… until something breaks.
A server crashes.
Performance drops suddenly.
An integration stops working.
A security audit reveals missing patches.
At that point the response is urgent:
“Can someone help us fix this now?”
Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...

Luis,
Great Preso last night.. I'm looking forward to playing with CB more in the coming weeks..
I downloaded last nights' RC 2 release and launched the dashboard .. in the docs you have the default password to coldbox but I'm not able to login.. I have ColdBox directory sitting on C:inetpubframeworkscoldbox (with cf mapping to that directory) and the dashboard in the C:inetpubwwwrootdashboard folder.. any help would be greatly appreaciated..
Thanks...

HI Phil,
That should be the password. However, you can manually change it by do the following:
Open the config/settings.xml.cfm and locate the password hash. You can change the hash by using the hash method in CF and the algorithm
So try it out.

I second the comments. It was an amazing presentation of a framework, I almost passed up. I will be definitely be installing it and giving it a whirl. It seems to solve some of my issues with MG and seems easier to have an easier learning curve (especially with your documentation OCD). Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi Luis, Nice presentation....
Is it possible if you do a more advance level of presentation, to cover caching, interceptors, decorator, coldboxproxy.
ColdBox documentation is too good.
Again thanks for all your hard work and offering incredible toolkit ( coldbox ).
Many Thanks
