I got great news today from Sean Corfield that my topics where selected for CF.Objective(). Not only will I be doing a introduction presentation but a 2 hour hands on to advanced techniques with the coldbox framework. You can see all the sessions here. So Minneapolis, here I come!!

Now that 2.5 is out and the Dashboard 2.2.2 is also out, what do you expect for further releases. Russ Johnson joined team ColdBox and he is brining a tons of new ideas and funky stuff that will blow your mind. But apart from those, what are your expectations on ColdBox? What do you want from this framework AND toolkit!! More plugins? More interceptors? More GUI releated ideas? More debugging tools? What? Also, what are your thoughts on the Co...

Matt Quackenbush submitted this unusual behavior a few days ago and I was finally able to reproduce and fix today. Here is his excerpt:

If I browse to http://localhost/myApp/index.cfm/main/dspHome (or any other explicitly-called event), everything is good to go. However, if I browse to http://localhost/myApp/ or http://localhost/myApp/index.cfm, an exception is thrown that says: The event handler: index.cfm.dspHome is not valid registered event.

The ColdBox interceptors guide has been updated with some new cool approaches on how to deal with interceptor dependencies and their life cycles. You can see how they get created and configured so you don't go in loops to know the actual process. The injection of dependencies is also demonstrated when using an IoC framework like ColdSpring/Lightwire and even when you are not.

I will be speaking at CFUNITED 2008 this year in Washington, DC. I am super excited since I have never been to a CFUNITED conference. So it will be a first experience speaking and attending. My topic will be on ColdBox of course. So if you haven't registered for this conference, then do so now!!

I am super excited to be able to be part of CF.Objective this year. I attended last year and it was an incredible conference. If you have not registered for it, please do. Now, I need your input on what exactly to show on the hands on session. Below is my outline of what I would like to show. However, if you have a specific idea on the topics below, please comment.

For those of you interested in downloading the daily build, I have let
the cat out of the bag today, in which we will have version 2.5.2 in the next coming weeks.

Why the update if we are on schedule for 2.6? Well, these features where left out of 2.5 until I was sure they where ok and now they are.

So what does the update include:

1. Two new interception points: afterHandlerCreation, afterPl...

Ernst has just posted his code for an ssl interceptor he just created. It looks awesome so take a look for yourself.

Ernst has been busy and has updated his SSL Interceptor to do specific events and even pattern matching for events. So check his article out, truly nice work!!

Russ Johnson, of Team ColdBox, has written a pretty nifty tutorial on ColdBox Viewlets. From the docs:

A viewlet to me is a self sufficient view. A view that can live on its own, its data is pre-fetched and can just be renderer as is. What in the worl...
