Tip of the Week: Securing Your Application's reinit

Brad Wood |  November 01, 2012

 

One of the first things you learn with ColdBox is how to add ?fwreinit=1 to the end of your URL to force a reload of the entire application.  This is required to pick up new settings, etc.  Many of you probably leave the reinit password at its default of "1".  While that's fine for your development and testing servers, it's not recommended  on production.  Reinitializing your application can potentially be an intensive operation, and you don't w...

Tip of the Week: Using Environment Control in ColdBox

Brad Wood |  October 25, 2012
One of the most common server configurations is to have a production server and then 1 or more development or testing servers.  The trick with your "lower" environments is you typically want different settings for logging, error messages, data sources, or outgoing E-mails.  Manually switching settings when you move code is sketchy at best and setting up deployment scripts can be more work than you're willing to take on.
 
Enter ColdBox Environ...

Tip of the Week: ColdBox API Docs

Brad Wood |  October 17, 2012

 

Hopefully you've seen and used the ColdBox docs, recipes, and video tutorials before.   What you may not know is there is an API reference that documents every class and method of the entire framework.  This can be very handy if you want to quickly look up all the arguments to the event.buildLink() method, or see what public methods can be called on a LogBox appender.  
 
The API docs are automatically generated based on component metadata (than...

Tip of the Week: Mapping Entire Directories with Wirebox

Brad Wood |  September 28, 2012

By default, WireBox will look for your CFCs using the "models" convention (scan location). So, if you ask WireBox to get you "Services.Security.PadLockService", WireBox will look for that path and component name in the root of the models directory and create a WireBox mapping for you.
