We have just opened the registration page for our new ColdBox 3 day training right after Scotch on the Rocks in London, UK.  The dates are from May 26-27-28 and I will be the trainer.  This is my first visit to SOTR so I am very excited to attend and also be able to train for the first time in the UK.  The course we will cover is CBOX-101, which ...

I was working more with Coldfusion 9 ORM and found another small caveat I thought I would share.  When working with a relationship that is filtered, the implicit "has[property]", the has does not take into account the filter.  The implicit get works as expected however.  Consider the following persistent cfc...

I am currently planing to do a european training tour at the end of May for both the UK and Switzerland.  The dates for such trainings would be May 26-28 right after Scotch on the Rocks, 2 days of CBOX-101 and 1 day of hands on boot camp coding.  Then moving to zurich and doing 3 more days from May 31st- June 2.

This is a huge ordeal for us to plan from all the way over here in Cal...

I was working on setting the transaction isolation level for the first CF9 ORM application I have put into production and thought I would share what I learned.

The first thing I learned is that by default, hibernate will use whatever isolation the datasource it is using has set.  In the drivers Coldfusion uses for MSSQL, the default is TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED. 

What I needed for my application was TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, so I knew that this had to change.  I researched how to change it at the datasource level, but couldn't find a "quick and dirty" way to do that, so I decided that since this application was using hibernate ORM, I would set it there.  If anyone of you knows how to change this setting at the datasource level on CF9, feel free to chime in.  I know how to change it on CF 6/7, but that doesn't work on CF 9.

Just a reminder that our Ontario, California ColdBox training is in 11 days and only a few seats are left.  So book your training today to reserve your seat.
