Features of ColdFusion Splendor
Splendor, the Public Beta of ColdFusion version 11 comes up with a string of features that are really useful for the users. One of the most attractive features of Splendor is its tight integration for the mobile platforms. While previously Adobe tried its best to assist the users in front end designing, a vast majority of the designers/developers found it really hard to succeed, with all their hard work going in vain and their efforts getting bloated. Thus, Adobe came up with a developed along with a more user friendly version of a platform, which would help the development of mobile applications with the help of ColdFusion Code. And the new version 11, which is called Splendor makes development of native phone apps, pure web based apps, as well as a combination of both, highly seamless. What is more intriguing is the fact that while using ColdFusion codes help development of an application, the codes are compiled into JavaScript.
All said and done, let us discuss some of the features of Splendor is details.
The new ColdFusion Splendor helps to improve the existing CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) expertise for developing various types of mobile apps. It also helps in using the inbuilt integration with Adobe Phonegap in a flawless as well as easy manner. Besides, it also helps in delivering them as installed applications, which run on devices that are based on Android and iOS operation systems.
This helps the users to use a string of unique on-device debugging capabilities for identifying as well as fixing the loopholes or errors that can be found in the installed apps or various mobile applications that are browser-based.
Splendor also helps in enhancing the security features for negating as well as limiting the attack surface, by restricting the remote access to admin portal. They also help in developing application much faster and in a seamless manner. This is solely because every functionality that ColdFusion Splendor comes up with, can be accessed by using the CFSCRIPT.
The features also come in handy for improving the conversion engine from Adobe, for generating a superior quality PDFs from the HTMLS pages. Besides, they also allow the end users when it comes to accessing the web applications, with their personal accounts that they already have in various social media sites.
There is also a feature that helps in maintaining along with modification of the existing code in faster, seamless, easier way with the help of the member functions of ColdFusion objects. It also helps in securing the PDFs by using electronic signatures and alter, or manipulate them by using a holistic DDX support.
The application also is rich in certain features that come up with CFMobile. Though the codes and tags might look similar to the developers of CFML, they work only on client side. Some of the features include Easy Access of data by using the cfquery/queryExecute, Client side Object Oriented Programming (OOP) with the use of cfcomponent, the customary tags that come up with CFML, seamless error handing with the use of try-catch procedure, Interoperability between JavaScript and cfclient code.
So, with the introduction of ColdFusion Version 11 or Splendor with these value added features, the future roadmap plan of CF is quite clear. They have the next version, ColdFusion 12 in the pipeline, which is coming up very soon. This implies that ColdFusion is very much committed to serve its clients in an all new way to be in tune with the changing technology. The most important thing is that Coldfusion has remained pro-user. Even the programmers have remained comfortable with it. They are always waiting for the next version with optimal eagerness – a sign that clearly proves who popular is CF in the fraternity of the developers.

The ColdFusion 10 Features That Developers Would Like To Have
Before we discuss about the features of ColdFusion 10, let us see what ColdFusion is. It is a rapid web application development platform that was originally designed to make connecting HTML pages to a particular database easier. Since its inception in the year 2005, a number of versions have been published and currently, version 11 that was published this year in the month of April is in place. However, we will discuss some of the most important salient features of the earlier version 10 that was published earlier in January 2014 this year.
With the introduction of every version, a string of new features is being added to the platform and version 10 is no exception. In case of the version 10, the entire set of features can be categorized into three main foundations or pillars.
Enhancement of Security
With every new version, the developers have incorporated new features that have made the platform more secured than the previous one and CF 10 is no exception. This version has come up with some value added features that make the app more secured.
CF applications that have been developed all throughout have always been safe and secured. However, thanks to the native support for the OWASP ESAPI functions, the apps will become even more secured and will be able to meet the new age security threats with more vigor.
Syntax Sugar
This feature, which helps in language enhancement, is one of the most important features that make a developer’s life a lot easier.
REST webservices
This is another feature that helps the CF 10 become such an indispensable platform. Native support meant for REST webservices from within a CFC or ColdFusion Component is baked on for POST, DELETE, GET, HEAD, PUT, OPTIONS, and POST request models of HTTP.
WebSockets
This is another feature that helps in easier and faster communication over TCP and helps the server as well as the browser to exchange messages between each other if and when needed. With the introduction of WebSockets, sending a particular request from the browser to the service becomes faster as well as easier by many folds.
Tomcat
CF 10 comes up with another feature called Tomcat, which is its new default J2EE container. Tomcat has replaced JRUN, the aging J2EE container of the earlier versions. Though one quarter of experts are of the opinion that this has hardly made any difference, this has certainly made deployment of CF to a wide array of cloud based systems far easier. This is true in case of both public as well as private systems.
HTML5 charting
This feature helps the CF 10 in supporting various interactive client-side charts that are based on Canvas, Flash, or SVG. The functionality of this feature is supported by the existing CFCHART tag of CF. Apart from this there is immense support for a wide range of various client-side charts. Also, it is also possible to customize the chart style by using JSON objects in the CF 10.
Closures
This is one of the most favorite JavaScript technique that has been incorporated it the CF 10.
Java First Class
With the help of this particular feature, it is now possible to build JavaLoader into the language, which in turn allows loading of the Java classes that are placed on the system. This is particularly great for the Java developers as they can access CFCs from within a Java class.
Scheduler
This is another extremely handy feature that helps in improved handling of Priorities, corn commands, application level tasks, chaining, errors, grouping, and so on.
