| Who should use ColdFusion MX 7? |
|
| ColdFusion MX is designed for developers building dynamic websites and Internet applications. Easy-to-use visual tools and an intuitive server scripting environment dramatically shorten the learning curve for new developers. At the same time, advanced features such as ColdFusion components, integrated debugging, XML handling, Java integration, web services, and the extensible event gateway architecture make ColdFusion ideal for developers creating complex web applications and applications that need to be accessible from mobile devices. |
|
| What is ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML)? |
|
| ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is the tag-based server-scripting language for rapid web development. Processed entirely on the server, CFML is easy to learn, yet powerful enough to handle the most demanding web-application logic. CFML uses a syntax that closely resembles HTML and XML, so it is ideally suited to programming applications that use these markup languages. For new developers, tag-based CFML syntax makes complex programming easy. Advanced developers can easily extend and customize CFML through custom tags, reusable components, and user-defined functions, as well as take advantage of structured exception handling and integration with Java, C, C++, COM, CORBA, and EJB. ColdFusion MX 7 boosts CFML with an array of powerful new and extended tags. |
|
| How does ColdFusion MX 7 work with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX? |
|
| Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 provides a compelling development environment for building and testing ColdFusion applications. ColdFusion MX 7 provides new extensions for Dreamweaver MX 2004 to facilitate ColdFusion development, including integrated data source management, CFFORM design support, ColdFusion component recordsets, powerful login wizard, and more. Used together, Dreamweaver and ColdFusion provide an efficient, rapid development environment for building powerful web applications. |
|
| How does ColdFusion MX 7 work with Macromedia Flex? |
|
| Macromedia Flex presentation server offers a familiar, standards-based programming framework and powerful set of building blocks for creating a richer, more responsive presentation tier for enterprise applications. The ability of ColdFusion to integrate easily with nearly any back-end resource-such as a database, e-mail server, file system, or web service-makes it an ideal match for Flex. Using Flex and ColdFusion together, developers can create well-designed, structured, n -tier applications that leverage the back-end power and productivity that is uniquely ColdFusion, coupled with the front-end usability that is uniquely Flash. |
|
| How does ColdFusion MX 7 work with Macromedia Flash MX? |
|
In addition to the powerful Flash Remoting capabilities already available in ColdFusion MX, ColdFusion MX 7 adds the ability to easily create rich Flash forms, solving complex, multistep forms problems. HTML form maintenance is a time-consuming and tedious task, but creating Flash forms is fast and intuitive for a ColdFusion developer. New Flash form controls (not available in regular HTML)-such as data grids, tree controls, and calendars-are also available in ColdFusion MX 7 and can easily be used within the CFFORM tag to add rich controls to your applications.
| What are the different editions of ColdFusion MX 7? |
Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 has two product editions to accommodate your Internet application deployment needs: ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise Edition and ColdFusion MX 7 Standard Edition.
ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise is the solution for delivering multiple websites and applications on one or more servers, or on existing J2EE application server installations. It features all the capabilities of ColdFusion MX 7 Standard, plus special features for managing multi-application environments that enable highly scalable, reliable implementations of your important business applications.
ColdFusion MX 7 Standard is the solution for delivering a powerful website or application on a single server. It features all the RAD capabilities of ColdFusion, powerful new features such as PDF and FlashPaper document generation, rich flash forms, structured business reporting, and more-in an easy-to-manage.
| What are ColdFusion event gateways? |
ColdFusion MX 7 provides a groundbreaking new capability that enables ColdFusion applications to connect to mobile phones, instant messaging, and more. Event gateways provide a powerful new feature set that allows ColdFusion applications to interact with more than just web browsers and web services. Using the same, easy-to-use CFML to create web applications today, developers can now build gateway applications that interact with a host of other protocols common in today's networked world. Developers can create their own gateways or build applications using the several prebuilt gateways available in the product.
| Which databases are supported? |
ColdFusion MX 7 supports most major databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, Sybase, and IBM Informix.
| How does ColdFusion MX 7 run on other J2EE application servers? |
The ColdFusion MX runtime environment is a Java application that takes advantage of the many powerful services in the J2EE platform to connect to databases, manage security, and process application requests. When ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise Edition is installed in the J2EE configuration on top of a Java application server, it uses that server's J2EE infrastructure to execute ColdFusion applications as pure Java bytecode. Developers can then continue to develop and deploy ColdFusion pages while easily managing ColdFusion MX server settings using the ColdFusion Administrator.
| Which web servers are supported? |
ColdFusion MX 7 supports most major web servers, including IIS, Apache, and Sun ONE (formerly iPlanet).
| What is the ColdFusion Administrator? |
The ColdFusion Administrator is a complete suite of server administration, monitoring, and reporting tools. With the ColdFusion Administrator, server managers can visually monitor, configure, tune, and maintain ColdFusion servers, applications, and clusters.
| Which operating systems are supported? |
ColdFusion MX 7 supports most major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Linux, and AIX.
| Is ColdFusion MX 7 backwards-compatible with previous releases of ColdFusion? |
ColdFusion MX 6.1 applications should seamlessly migrate to ColdFusion MX 7. Most ColdFusion 5 applications can also be migrated easily to ColdFusion MX 7. To assist customers in making the move from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MX products, we provide a migration resource center that includes all the tools you need to plan a successful migration. The ColdFusion MX documentation includes a full report on known compatibility issues between ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion MX. This same guide applies to applications that are being migrated from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MX 7. In addition, ColdFusion MX includes a Code Compatibility Analyzer that enables ColdFusion developers to identify areas of their current applications quickly that may require tweaking to run on ColdFusion MX or MX 7. These tools and other resources can be found in the ColdFusion MX Migration Resources.
