The Asynchronous loggers in LogBox have been removed in preference to the new async property that can be used in any logger. The affected loggers are:

  • AsyncDBAppender -> DBAppender
  • AsyncFileAppender -> FileAppender
  • AsyncRollingFileAppender -> RollingFileAppender

You can just declare each appender but add an async=true property to each when declaring.


Old config:


logBox = {
    appenders = {
        coldboxTracer = {
		class = "coldbox.system.logging.appenders.AsyncRollingFileAppender",
		properties = {
			filePath = "/logs",
			fileMaxArchives = 5,
			fileMaxSize = 3000
 		}
	}
    }
};

New Config:


logBox = {
    appenders = {
        coldboxTracer = {
		class = "coldbox.system.logging.appenders.RollingFileAppender",
		properties = {
			filePath = "/logs",
			fileMaxArchives = 5,
			fileMaxSize = 3000,
			async = true
 		}
	}
    }
};

ColdFusion Modernization for UK Universities Without Downtime

Across the United Kingdom, many universities still rely on legacy ColdFusion and CFML systems to power student portals, enrollment platforms, research databases, payment gateways, and internal academic workflows.

These systems are often:

  • 15 to 25 years old
  • Mission-critical

  • Running on older Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee versions
  • Tightly coupled monolithi...
