As of tomorrow, Railo 3.1 is an open source product as announced today by Gert Franz from Railo at Scotch on the Rocks 2008. Hosted by JBoss.org, the product will be supported by a much larger community than can be provided purely by the CFML community.
So, now we are left with only two cost-option CFML engines, Bluedragon and Adobe’s ColdFusion 8. Everything else is now open-source : OpenBD, Railo (excluding Enteprise) and Smith.
I dare say more information will appear as time goes on (the keynote is still in progress)

I came across a strange problem this morning when trying to do some development on one of our servers that is not using the default Sun JVM (the server is Win2K3, CFMX7.0.2 running on BEA JRockit 5).
Whilst this normally runs like a dream, I decided to stomp out an application.cfc. The result? A big fat error. I kept getting the error “CFCServlet must be initialized“.
After some poking around, I found that if I flipped CFMX back onto the default JVM all was good, it a...

Kev McCabe has just pointed me at a new post of the Scotch 2008 website announcing the pricing for next years conference .
In a nutshell, it’s cheap. £199+VAT if you register before March 2008, and only £299+VAT afterwards.  So, get your tickets as soon as possible, it will probably sell out quite quickly.

Last night we had the semi-regular UKCFUG meet up at Design UK’s offices (the home of Mr Mark Drew). During the session we talked about what was going on at Max Barcelona and basically skimmed over what was mentioned during the conference.
For the full coverage, there’s a recorded Connect presentation which you can watch. Total time is just under an hour.
