Cold Fusion MX Server Hosting

More than 300,000 developers at over 10,000 companies worldwide rely on ColdFusion to quickly build and deploy powerful web applications, making ColdFusion one of the most widely adopted web technologies in the industry. Here are just a few reasons why:

• Optimal developer experience
  ColdFusion is simpler to use and requires less code than alternative solutions.
   
• Adobe Flex integration
  As an ideal companion to Adobe Flex™ software, ColdFusion provides the server-side functionality for rich Internet applications (RIAs).
   
• Enterprise ready
  ColdFusion runs natively on industry-standard J2EE application servers and can easily extend or integrate with other Java™ applications and enterprise data sources.
   
• Bundled features
  ColdFusion includes structured reports, charting and graphing, Verity text searching, high-performance database drivers, and other features that would cost extra with other solutions.
   
• One-of-a-kind features
  ColdFusion includes features that simply cannot be replicated with other technologies.

ColdFusion MX7 represents a significant step forward in a number of areas for ColdFusion, including enhanced object-oriented capabilities, enhanced forms, new reporting features, support for a range of event-based development, and new features.

A Quick Feature Overview

Significant features in ColdFusion MX7:

• Branded, template-driven report generation. These reports can be created as PDF files, Microsoft Excel files or Macromedia FlashPaper documents and can include charts.
   
• On-the fly document conversion. ColdFusion MX 7 can convert HTML or CFML output to PDF or FlashPaper documents on demand. This feature allows for control of page breaks, document headers and footers, and page numbering.
   
• Skinnable, Flash-based, rich forms. In the past ColdFusion provided a limited set of extended form widgets which were Java applet-based. In ColdFusion MX 7, complete Flash-based forms can be generated and these forms can be skinned by providing transformation rules from XML to HTML. In addition, you can build standard HTML forms using selected extended widgets, which are now Flash-based.
   
• Improved form validation. Form validation has been enhanced in a number of ways, including validation when a user removes focus from a field (instead of only on submission of a form), a simplified server-based validation implementation, validation of textarea fields, and improved cross-platform consistency.
   
• Support for event gateways. The new Event Gateway API allow ColdFusion to respond to external events. For instance, a gateway could be built to respond to messages from an instant messaging system allowing for requests to be made to a ColdFusion application from an IM client. There are pre-built gateways for SMS messages from mobile devices, the XMPP instant messaging protocol, and the Lotus Sametime instant messaging system.
   
• Events added to the application framework. Using the new Application.cfc allows you to create methods which are triggered by events in your application, such as the start of an application or session or request, their completion or an error. This allows development in ColdFusion to resemble, at least somewhat, the event-driven programming common in other languages.
   
• Improvements to Verity. The search engine underneath ColdFusion has been upgraded and now supports improved result output (such as document authors), suggestions for correcting spellings of potentially misspelled keywords, searching inside search results, categorization of documents and results.
   
• Quick and easy creation of login screens. Through a Dreamweaver MX 2004 extension, the Login Wizard allows for the quick deployment of a login screen that supports usernames and passwords, Windows domains and LDAP servers.
   
• Improved XML support. ColdFusion's XML capabilities include new functions, support for decision-making functions, validation of attributes, and support for both Schemas and DTDs.
