java.net: ColdFusion for JSP Developers
java.net: ColdFusion for JSP Developers
A great article that explains why Java developers should consider Coldfusion for some of their development. It has some advantages and since it is written in Java, the skill set of Java Developers is not lost.
I don't know Java at all, but, nice to feel a little like coldfusion is in the family, if only distant.

Remote Synthesis: Mach II or ColdSpring? Understanding the Differences Between ColdFusion Frameworks
This is a super article that does what the title says. I wish this would have been written when I was first trying to understand all this.

Refreshing web services
Are you trying to create web services with CFMX, but for some reason when you make a change it is not picked up. One of those things that can frustrate you to no end. Coldfusion makes a list of web services you create and you can view them in the administrator. You can also create them in the administrator. But the key here, is you can refresh them in the administrator also.
Open your administrator for the server that publishes the web service, login, and go to Data & Services > Web Services. There you will see the services and you can refresh, delete or add.
A good article with more about it and how to do refresh web services without opening up the administrator can be found here, by Charlie Arehart.

Hosting
About a month ago I bought a shared server account at hostmysite.com. They come highly recommended by the Coldfusion community and I definately want Coldfusion support, especially some tags that most providers prohibit, such as cfobject.
I first moved my ftp site over to this hosted account. I have users that send images back and forth to each other. Now, instead of all fighting for bandwidth on my DSL link to servers inhouse they now share a Huge pipe of bandwidth at my hosts site. I don't see a downside to this.
A few weeks ago I made the jump to a dedicated server. I haven't moved the ftp over to that site yet, but i am planning to host as much as I can. Hostmysite is awesome and for not much money I feel like we just hired a 24/7 systems admin. We also get security, backups, redundancy and many more features.
Having private company information off-site may seem scary to some but they are much better equipped to protect my data than I am. One guy can only do so much. Our company has grown to a point where we needed to hire additional IT staff. Hosting is a much more cost effective and reliable way of doing this. I am pleased so far.

Goldmine and Gmail
I want to move my main domain to a hosted email service, Google apps for domains. I know this domain generates a lot of email traffic so how nice not have to worry about that.
Our sales department uses goldmine. This means they use the email interface inside goldmine to allow them to attach email communications to the prospects they are associated with. Goldmine does not support SSL in their email client. The work around can be found at this site:
http://www.castellcomputers.com/index.php?p=2. Be sure to read comment #1 as it includes an important change to the stunnel.conf file.
Also, Don't click on the link to the stunnel.eze file. Go to the page and get the latest. I noticed that the newer versions have the ability to install stunnel as a service and I am not sure some of the older versions have all those features.
I tested this on my machine and it worked great. No I am one step closer to being able to host my email.
