We are very excited to bring you a new commercial product release for the Ortus Family: Couchbase Railo Extension  The Couchbase Railo Extension allows you to natively connect to a Couchbase NoSQL Server cluster and leverage it for distributed caching, session/client storage and distribution, cluster RAM file systems, and much more. It can allow your Railo servers to scale and extend easily by leveraging Couchbase NoSQL Server as the platform of choice for session/cluster managements, caching and virtual file-systems.

We have been working with Couchbase NoSQL Server for a while now it has been a true pleasure to not only build scalable farms with it, but also it is incredibly responsive when it comes down to NoSQL and caching transactions.

Capabilities

Here are some of the major features of our Couchbase Extension:

• Add Couchbase functionality to any Railo application
• Install at the web context level or the server level (Available to all contexts)
• Create Cache connections in the Railo administrator to connect to any network-accessable Couchbase cluster
• Set and get objects from Couchbase via standard CFML functions and tags cachePut(), cacheGet(), <cfcache action="get|put">
• Fully supports all built-in Railo cache functions including wildcard filters
• Seamlessly distribute storage of the following to any bucket in a Couchbase cluster
  • Railo session storage
  • Railo client storage
  • Railo RAM resouce ram://...
• Seamlessly cache the following to any timeout-sensitive bucket in a Couchbase cluster
  • Results of database queries <cfquery cachedwithin>
  • Results of deterministic functions <cffunction cachedwithin>
  • Complex or simple objects in your application's code
  • Cached templates <cfcache action="content|cache|serverCache">
• Registers new CFML Built-In Functions (BIFs) for executing user-defined queries against Couchbase views.
• Extremely lightweight and fast

We are very excited to spring forth a new open source product for the Ortus Family: CFCouchbase SDK.  The CFCouchbase SDK is a CFML library for interacting with Couchbase NoSQL Server. It can be used by any CFML application or CFML framework to provide them with NoSQL, distributed caching, dynamic queries and many more capabilities. 

We have been working with Couchbase NoSQL Server for a while now it has been a true pleasure to not only build scalable farms with it, but also it is incredibly responsive when it comes down to NoSQL and caching transactions.  We have extended their Java SDK and wrapped it in some dynamic CFML goodness.  We not only expose all of the capabilities of the Java SDK, but we also provide automatic CFML to Java serialization and deserializations, Querying DSL, and also a way to automatically serialize and deserialize ColdFusion Components CFCs.

Between the Akismet module and the ability to moderate (or even block!) comments based on certain words, IPs, etc., ContentBox provides a nice level of protection from the incessant attacks from spam bots that try to sell you the latest UGG Boots. But the bots are clever, and every once in a while a spam comment or two ...

LogBox ships with a number of appenders for you to use including the File, Email, and Socket Appenders. These all have a default way that they format the data before its persisted. For instance, the FileAppender will write out each log event like so:

"Severity","Name","MM/DD/YYYY","HH:MM:SS","Category","Message"

If you need the data to be in a different format, or perhaps e...
