Welcome to ForgeBoxForgeBox is our new project completely online that will serve the ColdBox community.  ForgeBox is a repository for code entries that spawn from anything ColdBox (plugins, interceptors, apps, code, etc) to anything CodexWiki (plugins, interceptors, parsers, themes, etc).  Not only that, it leverages our latest ColdBox 3.0 features, built in exactly 3 days thanks to ColdBox and Transfer.  Please also remember that we have our own ColdBox Community development space that you can take advantage off.  We can host your projects if you need in git or svn and even have tons of collaboration tools.  Just send us an email at info@coldbox.org and we will create the account for you.  You can then start rocking with ColdBox!

ForgeBox also sports a cool REST API service and of course, in our documentation tradition, fully documented using our new wiki.  Again, we are slowly migrating our documentation to our new wiki, but we will get there soon.

So what can you do with ForgeBox? Well, first of all, register your account with us and start contributing your code.  You can then also get funky and start building interfaces, iphone apps, or whatever you like with our REST API.  At the moment, our API is very basic, but it will grow as usage increases and we add more features.

Also, please free to enter your feedback about ForgeBox and how it can be improved!  And no kidding, I built it in about 3 days, ColdBox to the max!!

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

Many organizations running CFML applications today face the same challenge.

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.

The quest...

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

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.

These systems manage a wide range of functions, including:
