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: 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: Using Dynamic Finders with ORM

Brad Wood |  October 10, 2012

 

Dynamic Finders are brand new to ColdBox 3.5.3 which will be released shortly.  I usually give tips on released functionality, but we're real excited about our new Grails-inspired functionality and invite you to check it out on our development line to give them a spin.
 
Dynamic Finders basically let you create very readable code with dynamic method names that describe the criteria being used to to load or count ORM entities. &nbs...
