ColdFusion 9 accelerates the development cycle by reducing complex and powerful business logic into a few lines of code. ColdFusion 9 applications easily access data from existing enterprise infrastructure including Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office files and Java J2EE portlet standards. New ColdFusion 9 features include an Adobe« AIR« application for managing multiple ColdFusion servers from one location, saving performance time and reducing edundant tasks. ColdFusion 9 also offers local and remote database synchronization with Adobe AIR, giving users access to applications regardless of Internet connectivity.
• Interaction with Office file level
Easily generate Office documents for reports, decision making and presentations. Reading, creating and updating spreadsheets with the new tag CFSPREADSHEET. The program generates a PDF file from the files of Microsoft PowerPoint and Word. Dynamically create presentations in HTML or SWF of PowerPoint presentations directly to the server.
• Strong commitment to ColdFusion Builder
Use the power of Adobe ColdFusion Builder - development environment (IDE) with a high degree of customization based on Eclipse ™, which provides developers with opportunities to build ColdFusion applications faster than ever.
• Object-relational mapping
Build database independent applications using object-relational mapping (ORM) library based on open source Hibernate. Save time and control logic and interfaces of the database without writing SQL code. Use the Wizard ORM applications in ColdFusion Builder for generating components of ColdFusion (CFC) for logic and relationships without writing a single line of code.
• Linking with Microsoft Office SharePoint
Submit data from Web services to Microsoft Office SharePoint to the application of the new ColdFusion tag CFSHAREPOINT. In addition, the ability to use one entry into SharePoint, to show use of ColdFusion as a Web site part of SharePoint, without requiring users to enter their data for re-certification.
• Tying platform with Adobe Flash - Improved
Take advantage of faster Flash Remoting, to improve application performance. Use ColdFusion as a service to speed the development of RIA through faster access to multiple existing corporate services through AMF without writing a single line CFML code.
• ColdFusion as a service
Use the power of corporate services in ColdFusion AMF or SOAP without writing a single line CFML code. These services include CFCHART, CFDOCUMENT, CFIMAGE, CFMAIL, CFPDF and CFPOP. If you can make your application more secure by putting these services in a separate environment (sandbox), to prevent access by unknown applications.
• Synchronize local / remote databases with Adobe AIR
Offer consumers applications online / offline capabilities, leading to reliable data management. Using SQLite in ORM client and the server, ColdFusion 9 manage conflict resolution and synchronization of data between client and server when your application back online.
• New Ajax controls - Improved
Build more attractive and intuitive applications with a wide range of Ajax controls that use the capabilities of the new library Ext JS 3.0 by CFML tags and attributes. New controls include mapping, media player, upload multiple files, navigation-type accordion, an indicator of the process, confirmations, warnings, buttons and sliders.
• Server Manager
Save time by performing simultaneous tasks of administering multiple servers from one central console. You can create data sources, schedules tasks, apply patches, delete caches and compare the settings between the cluster of servers in ColdFusion.
• Built-in support performance standards for portlets
Promote access to virtually all enterprise applications, including those of ColdFusion, in one integrated portal. ColdFusion 9 allows you to define a ColdFusion component as portlets. This includes support for Java Portlet Specifications JSR 168 and JSR 286.
