Well, the last piece of the puzzle is complete and ready for testing, SES support via ColdCourse.I converted Adam Fortuna's ColdCourse into a ColdBox interceptor and well, gave it some magic dust in order to adapt to ColdBox. You can find it on the nightly build ready for testing. However, that's not all, you get a spanking new guide: ColdBox Pretty URLS SES So not only is it there and useful, its documented!! Wait wait, there is still more!! You can find that the Transfer Sample application is now all based on SES via the ses interceptor. So you can actually see a sample app working right before your eyes. So there you guys ladies and gentleman!! 2.5.0 is coming to its final stages, so please test test test and more test!!

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...

Awesome! Praise the Lord! I'm so glad to hear of it.

Thanks Luis! I'm looking forward to trying this out...I tried a manual Coldbox / Coldcourse setup a few months ago and had issues so I moved on w/ regular urls for development.
