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!!

OK, OK, OK.... My next site will be using Coldbox. You had me at "no XML" :) Very nice work. It isn't going to take much to convince my fellow developers to go this route.

Awesome! Praise the Lord! I'm so glad to hear of it. As you know, I already had CB integrated with ColdCourse for SES support. However, I never got around the problem I had with authentication due to the url rewrite. I hope your interceptor approach helps!

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. Chris
