CFUnited Early Bird Pricing Ends Today

If you haven't registered for CFUnited 2009 yet, you'll want to be sure to do so TODAY to take advantage of the early bird pricing option. CFUnited, now in its fifth year, is the #1 ColdFusion developer conference in the world. This year, it will be bigger than ever with more speakers and topics than ever before. If you're a CF developer, do whatever you have to do to get to Washington, DC this August for the CFUnited ColdFusion conference!
Also, don't forget that yours truly will be presenting the topic "How to Setup a Local Development Environment". A topic that every beginner and perhaps some veterans will learn something about the art of setting up a local and productive development environment. My session will most definitely be one of the most important and informative sessions at the conference this year.
Managers, if you're still not convinced about sending your team members away for a week, follow this link for an informative manager's guide: http://cfunited.com/images/CFUnited2009_managerguide.pdf.

Using Java code in ColdFusion

This was, until just recently, unexplored territory. I knew that it could be done, that other people had done it before, and that it was darn easy to do in ColdFusion.

I have spent the last two weeks on a very intensive integration project where there was a custom UI built in JSP that needed to have a single sign-on from an existing ColdFusion application. We decided to take advantage of some of the session variables available, the catch being that the information in the session variables were encrypted (using the ColdFusion en/decrypt functions... naturally). I figured that "it couldn't be that hard" to replicate the same functionality in JSP, get the session variable... decrypt it... look the info up in the database... and set some application variables on the JSP application side. That was two weeks ago. Yesterday I figured it all out in a blinding burst of code.

What I ended up doing was writing an entire custom Java class that does all the encryption / decryption of string information passed to it. We had to instantiate the class on the ColdFusion side and not use the built in CF functions.

And this is how I did it...

Travel Reservation for February 9th-13th

Yes, I am taking a vacation. For those that know me this is a very rare occurrence. The vacation that I am taking is RIAdventure! The only way I found that I could take a "Vacation", without going to a conference to present or attend, was to be able to (at least) talk shop with a bunch of like minded people (Difficult to find around here).

So to (re)use the words of the man himself (Joshua Cyr);

The idea is simple. Let's all get together in a relaxed atmosphere someplace warm and fun in February. A cruise! No sessions. No conference. Just a predetermined cruise date and destination to share with anyone and everyone interested. Invite friends and family. Network with others interested in ColdFusion, Flex, AIR and other web goodness.

I hope to see you there.
