My client is running CF 2021 and as part of the install an older version of log4j is installed at:

The Adobe ColdFusion downloads page now has jre-8u321. Are there recommended actions for CF2018 and CF2021 installs related to this?

I have a great announcement to make. ColdFusion Summit 2022 will be... in person this year in Las Vegas. It will occur in October (3rd, 4th, 5th). Details and registration information will be available soon.

good morning, I'm trying to fix CF admin for ACF 2018 on a server that appears to have busted the CF Admin during an update 18 months ago. I think. when I visit the cf admin page on the browser I get 404 Not Found. The hf-updates folder:

@priyank_adobe @Mark Takata (Adobe) Is there a public page somewhere that lists Adobe's paid ColdFusion support plans and their costs?

Has anyone else seen the following error in their console logs when CF 2021 is starting up?

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource

What's really interesting is that class comes from an internal jar bundled with ColdFusion so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be found. Full error in the thread.

my CFHTTP issue is back. Hitting smarty.com from cftry works but doesn't work from my server. [SOLVED]: Tell jvm to use specific TLS version -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2. smarty.com only accepts 1.2 or 1.3.

What am I missing here:

// /vendor/org/group/app2/Parent.cfc (/org mapping points to /vendor/org)
component {}


// /vendor/com/corp/app1/Child.cfc  (/com mapping points to /vendor/com)
import org.group.app2.Parent
component extends=Parent {}


// /vendor/me/test.cfm
<cfscript>
import org.group.app2.Parent
import com.corp.app1.Child

p = new Parent()
writeOutput(getMetadata(p).fullName) // org.group.app2.Parent

c = new Child() // errors with Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface Parent.
</cfscript>

If I change Child.cfc to be:

// /com/corp/app1/Child.cfc
component extends=org.group.app2.Parent{}

It works. So it's not like CF can't find the CFCs in question. It's just not... looking.

Hey I know this has been discussed to death but I got an official request to find something from Adobe that says they are working on a log4j solution for the 1.x version that still remains. I haven't found anything that says this will be addressed in Update 14. Is there such a thing that is from Adobe that says they are working on it? I was asked to provide this for a report. Does anyone have anything or has there been such a release?

Looking for confirmation that the JVM argument to not mutate the original query when using

queryFilter

is NOT available on CF2016

Hi Adobe, did you have a manual how to Update the CKEditor in CF2021?

On my attempt to start up a CF2016 server service I got this error. In the windows event viewer the error says to check server logs. I'm not sure where this type of error gets logged. Anyone know?

Hey folks, for everyone that was sent yesterday to the wrong address for my webinar, can you post in this thread & let me know? Or you can DM me (and, if you can, provide the email address where the message came that sent you to the wrong place). Thank you!

@Mark Takata (Adobe) @priyank_adobe Could one of you please tag an appropriate engineer to help provide a quick sanity check. I noticed Lucee was making some changes to its list functions in order to match Adobe, but I REALLY think Adobe's and Lucee's behaviors are both completely bunk here and I'd like to get a ticket in for Adobe to fix and have Lucee match that if possible. I'll put the details in the thread. Just finding out if there really is some super-compelling (and documented) reason for this or if it's really just an edge case bug no one noticed would be great.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) TAKATA! You and your language are in trouble.

Is there any chance that this behavior could be changed? https://trycf.com/gist/ef58d050ba30f095611aa0b464853ea1/acf11?theme=monokai

Is there any chatter about when the next version of ColdFusion might be released? Is there an up-to-date roadmap document? /cc @Mark Takata (Adobe)

@Mark Takata (Adobe) any recording for your webinar posted yet? Or do you know when/where it might be posted??

If you set up a server with a nested server inside the same web root, both servers have their own CFApplication. Should they share cookies for jsessionID? (not my design... a work challenge)

CF2021 question... are bundled lib classes included with a package (e.g. spreadsheet) not available for us to create instances in our own code? In our scenario, we have code that uses POI directly. In previous versions of CF, we would just make use of what was already provided. I realize the bundled nature of OSGi in CF2021 changes that to some extent, but I was expecting if I have the relevant package installed, I'd have access to its bundled libs from the classpath. This does not seem to be the case. I assume the alternative going forward would be to include POI with our app and load it via the usual routes for adding JARs/Classes, which is fine, just caught us off guard during some testing.

Quick heads up for folks, I will be on PTO starting tomorrow morning through the end of this coming Monday. Heading to wine country for a wedding (staying at a glamping spot owned by my buddy). So try not to have any ACF issues, k? ;)

Question: I had a friend who has a client ask him this: The have a CF11 instance and the have a question about updating their Java on that machine. From the Customer: "_When trying to locate the jdk’s from Oracle’s website, they are only offering up to Version 8 update 321, and Version 11 update 14. Do you happen to have an idea on how best to proceed here in getting our Java versions updated to a secure instance? Do I need to reach out to Adobe specifically on this_?" I have never used CF11 and I know its old is there an option for CF11 to use some of the later Java libraries or is the best suggestion for them to update to a newer CF version?

Hi there. My department has had a fair amount of turnover lately, and our purchasing area got the following email that reads (in part):

ColdFusion Ent ALP Renewal Upgrade Plan UE

I’ve done a bit of “research,” and it looks like this is some type of Enterprise CF Upgrade program/promotion/deal that we purchased? Can anyone provide any additional information or clarification that I can provide my supervisor? We are trying to decide what action we need to take. We can also email Adobe Licensing, who sent the email, but I thought you folks may know too.

Hello. I'm gearing up to migrate several CF 2016 servers to CF 2021. Is there an official migration guide? I found a link to one but the file no longer exists. I also found a link to @carehart’s great PowerPoint migration guide in PDF form. Any others? Thanks in advance.

1. Its not an adobe issue, you have to install a code signing certificate and then sign the code yourself. 1. Install a certificate, 2, run keytool -genkey -alias server -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore mydemokeystore.jks 3. enter details as prompted, 4. keytool -certreq -alias server -file csr.csr -keystore mydemokeystore.jks 5, open up the csr in any of your favorite text editors and paste that in some ssl registers webite, 6, enter your credit card details as the whole SSL signing universe is a complete BS joke, 8. Once your "certified" key is generated download the certificate to your box. 9. Import the certificate keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias server -file YouCertificate.p7b -keystore mydemokeystore.jks 10 - Buy me a coffee https://cfml.slack.com/archives/C06TABBT8/p1651250316846529

This is closed as fixed and yet is doesn't seem to be fixed. https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4204497 The provided example code in the ticket demonstrates the issue. Is this fixed in the next update maybe? @Mark Takata (Adobe)

Aaaaaand... another one...

i = 0
f = 0.0
d = createObject("java", "java.lang.Double").init(0)

writeDump([
    i = [
        i = i,
        "i === i" = i === i,
        "i.equals(i)" = i.equals(i),
        "i.equals(i) === true" = i.equals(i) === true,
        "i.getClass().getName()" = i.getClass().getName()
    ],
    f = [
        f = f,
        "f === f" = f === f,
        "f.equals(f)" = f.equals(f), // <------------------------ FALSE???
        "f.equals(f) === true" = f.equals(f) === true,
        "f.getClass().getName()" = f.getClass().getName()
    ],
    d = [
        d = d,
        "d === d" = d === d,
        "d.equals(d)" = d.equals(d),
        "d.equals(d) === true" = d.equals(d) === true,
        "d.getClass().getName()" = d.getClass().getName()
    ]
])

(https://trycf.com/scratch-pad/gist/0423682320d2cc1479db23f825c18d46) Works-ish on Lucee, except for a different bug it has with the

operator 😐

I only see 13 and 14: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#third_party

Is there a projected release date for CF2021 Update 4? I think I'm now up to 4 different bugs I'm affected by that are supposed to be fixed in it.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) could you pls get someone on the dev team to comment on this code:
