Another happy LogBox day.  Today we are releasing a quick beta update to LogBox.  This update includes a fix thanks to Mark Mandel and one of my favorite features: Category Inheritance. First of all, LogBox is an Enterprise Logging Library that is part of the up and coming ColdBox 3.0.0 Platform Suite.  It is completely standalone from ColdBox MVC and can be used in any project you like.  The full documentation can be found here:

This topic has been going on for a while, where some people have come up with the idea of having a private request collection that is unaffected by the incoming URL/FORM/REMOTE variables but still have access to it via the request context object.  You already CAN do this by just building a simple request context decorator.  However, some people think that this could be a cool core addition.  I am starting to think so also, so here are my thoughts on the topic.

The purpose of this pos...

As you have probably read a few days ago we released LogBox: An enterprise ColdFusion Logging Library, part of the new ColdBox 3.0.0 Platform Suite.   The library's core of logging takes place thanks to its appenders that send messages to different destinations.  As of now, the distribution has 11 appenders included, but if you want to build your own, you can very very easily.  Not only that, since we are in Beta, you can submit your appenders and we will include them in the distribution if t...

One of the nice things about ColdBox's model integration features are the ability to inject objects by using annotations via the cfproperty tag.  This gives a cleaner API to objects that don't really need to expose setters just for dependency injection purposes.  Why? well, in MY opinion, objects should be shy and only expose what they need to expose to the outside world.  By leveraging annotations, I can cleanly define the dependencies of my object and what is even better, it can...

I am proud to announce another addition to our ColdBox Platform: MockBox.  MockBox is a companion package to the ColdBox Platform that will give you advanced mocking/stubing capabilities; hence a Mocking Framework. Not only does it integrat...
