We are excited to announce the general availability of ColdBox 4.1.0. This is a minor release with some needed patches and some cool new REST template features. You can update your library via CommandBox by just typing: box update or installing it via box install coldbox

New RESTFul Template


One of the cool things of this release is the new REST template that will allow you to build RESTFul services out of the box. You can also leverage CommandBox to generate RESTFul templates as well


    box coldbox create app name=restapp skeleton=rest --installColdBox

Their systems still work.

They support core business processes.

They generate revenue.

But at the same time, those platforms are increasingly exposed to risk.

Unsupported runtimes, operational fragility, security exposure, and difficulty integrating with modern systems are becoming more common in environments still running older versions of Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee.

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring
