How do I implement this code in tags:

component {
    static {
        final static.myStaticVar = "SET"
    }
}

I Inferred it would be this:

<cfcomponent>

    <cfstatic>
        <cfset final static.myStaticVar = "SET">
    </cfstatic>

</cfcomponent>

And whilst that almost works in Lucee, CF chokes with:

Unknown tag: cfstatic.

Lucee fails on the

final

modifier, I will raise this with them separately.

Hoping for a bit of CF 2021 admin/update advice here: we’re standing up our first CF 2021 dev server to start migrating from CF 2018. It is deployed as a WAR on Tomcat and sits behind a proxy that prevents access to the outside world and Adobe. For applying updates, we have to download the update JAR files, get them to the server, manually drop them in

./cfusion/hf-updates/

and then apply the update from a command line. I’ve applied Update 3 w/o issue. Does updating “packages” (new to CF 2021) work in a similar manner?

We are experiencing this issue: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4212735 when trying to configure the apache connector for CF 2021 on windows. Is there any solution or manual configuration workaround that can be done?

What are people's thoughts on this, which I perceive to be a bug in CF's rest operator implementation: https://trycf.com/gist/f78d75b0f5a0200ad1d40aa0671ee3c4/acf2021?setupCodeGistId=b81066870ee105d8c47724cfbfe07220&theme=monokai

Another bug with the rest operator:

function f(required string param1, required numeric param2, ... date param3) // does not work in CF2021. Does not error, but ignores the rest operator

Repro (https://trycf.com/gist/850662c058d620ce94f39e2c7e43737b/acf2021?theme=monokai):

function f(required string param1, required numeric param2, ... date param3) {
    return arguments
}


result = f("a string", 42, createDate(2011,3,24), createDate(2016, 8, 17))
writeDump(var=result, label="actual")

expected = {
    param1 = "a string",
    param2 = 42,
    param3 = [createDate(2011,3,24), createDate(2016, 8, 17)]
}
writeDump(var=expected, label="expected")

Are we all ready for the next bug in CF's rest operator implementation?

@Mark Takata (Adobe) ColdFusion 2021 Update 4 is live but the technote link (http://www.adobe.com/go/cf2021_update4) doesn't exist.

***** PLEASE NOTE: Applying these security-only patches will require a re-application of previously installed hot-fixes. Those hot-fixes are moved to a backup directory on your server when the security updates are installed to allow you to re-apply them. This will require a reboot of the CF Server.***** New update from Adobe related to ColdFusion: CF 2021 Server - https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-4.html CF 2021 PMT - https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-performance-monitoring-toolset-update-4.html CF 2018 Server - https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2018-update-14.html CF 2018 PMT - https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2018-performance-monitoring-toolset-update-5.html Community Blogpost - https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/05/coldfusion-2021-and-2018-may-security-updates

@Mark Takata (Adobe) The CVE linked on the Adobe security bulletin appears to point to a DJango CVE (A Python library). Can you explain? https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-22818

@Mark Takata (Adobe) @priyank_adobe After applying CF2018 Update 14 to the first of our dev servers, I still have one older Log4j v1.x file in place (

./cfusion/jetty/lib/ext/log4j-1.2.17.jar

). Is this expected? (Even if expected, it is not going to make our cybersecurity team happy at all.)

Per the announcement in #cfml-general about integration with linen.dev, I figured it would be worth noting that this is a public channel and therefore also archived to https://cfml.linen.dev (and it has sync'd all the searchable history here, which goes back about three months).

This is definitely an intriguing Adobe event: 😉 https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/09/please-provide-adobe-coldfusion-recent-workshop-recording-video/

@Mark Takata (Adobe) I am trying to search the docs on helpx.adobe.com and none of the tags/functions come up in the search suggestion.

Hey all, I just installed update 14 on ACF 2018 (linux) and when trying to get to the admin page I'm getting an error that the Monitoring server is not avlabile its giving me an error on line 114 of the /CFIDE/administrator/index,cfm page

We have our first CF2021 dev server, initially stood up about two weeks ago. We have applied the recently-released Update 4. Where would one find a list of Adobe-released hotfixes to address bugs which have been fixed but not yet included in an update? I am thinking of things analogous to the QoQ fix hf201800-4212383 for CF2018… except for CF2021. What hotfixes have been made available, what issues do they fix, and where can we download them?

And may I add: why are they not included in Update 4?

Hey folks, a while back I asked you all if anyone was currently using GraphQL with ColdFusion and a few of you chimed in that you were. I'd like to hear from you again, as well as hear from folks using GraphQL with other technology stacks. What I'd like to know: 1. Why did you select GraphQL as the query portion of the stack? What was compelling and interesting about it? 2. Those that are using it, are all of your new projects using GraphQL, or are you mixing and matching with REST? 3. In terms of GraphQL clients, what are your favorite features of the clients you use? Are you using a query building tool like Postman? As you might surmise, we are strongly looking at adding GraphQL capabilities to CF, though right now this is only in the research area. It is important that we understand not only how to follow the spec for GraphQL, but also to make sure that integrating with ACF (if we choose eventually to do so) ends up fitting in with the easy, fast to develop and DX centric methodology I favor. Just a final note here, this is definitely one of my personal pet projects, I've been the primary driver essentially from the day I was hired, so I really appreciate your input. I strongly believe GraphQL is an incredible tool, and truly hope we can add its capabilities to ACF one day. If you agree, definitely reach out, I'd love to chat.

Note: the informational site for CFSummit 2022 is currently down for an undetermined reason and is throwing a 404. It is unclear to me what the underlying issue is, but a team member is looking into it. I will update when the site is back up. Apologies all.

Exciting news! This year at Summit, all speakers will be getting knuckle tattoos! Super excited about this. GAH, wait, I thought it was April 1st. Sorry all, never mind, carry on. 😛

@Mark Takata (Adobe) What is the RGB code for Adobe ColdFusion blue? I want to set the "brand" of cfml.linen.dev to use that blue and I'd like to get it correct.

Are these Official now @Mark Takata (Adobe)? https://cfsummit.adobeevents.com/

@Mark Takata (Adobe) whats happening with the VSCode plugin ?

I could have sworn this came up previously. What are ppl's thoughts on this state of affairs: https://trycf.com/gist/aa08c8e3eae08360b6efc2149c8cb84d/acf2021?theme=monokai (CF 2021 only)

s = "abc"
s.each((c)=>{
    //writeoutput(c.ucase()) // The ucase method was not found
    writeOutput("#c.getClass().getName()#<br>") // java.lang.Character
    writeOutput("#c.toString().ucase()#<br>") // sigh
})
writeOutput("<hr>")
a = s.split("")
c = a[1]
writeOutput("#c.ucase()#: #c.getClass().getName()#<br>") // A: java.lang.String

When using CF2021's string iteration functions, each element of the string is a

java.lang.Character

, not a

java.lang.String

. Ramifications: one cannot call string member functions on the char (obvs), eg:

c.ucase()

. I say "obviously" because a Character is not a String, however it's NOT obvious in the context of CFML because Character is not a CFML data type, so there's no way a CFML function should return one / pass one. I include as an example there that even Java doesn't split a string into individual Character objects. They're Strings. I could not find a bug for this in the bugbase. @Mark Takata (Adobe) just... why?

Inline Java in CFML question. I poss need more eyes on this, in case I'm doing something wrong. [I'll put this in a thread, gimme a moment to write-up the code]

Question for the Adobe folks. We recently applied hf201800-4207395.jar to resolve a thread issue in our CF2018 envs. So far so good, which is great. We are looking to migrate to CF2021 soon. I'm curious if this issue might persist to the latest version of CF and if there is an equivalent hotfix JAR available.

OK folks, this is it. https://cfsummit.adobeevents.com/registration/ SIGN. UP. NOW. Send this far and wide. Podcasts. Blogs. Everything. I want to break all records.

BIG HEADLINE ATTENTION THINGY OK, so on top of getting your ticket to Summit, we need speakers. If you would like a chance to speak at CFSummit this year, please fill out our Call for speakers here: https://cfsummit.adobeevents.com/speaker-application/

hey all - we are having some issues with ACF2021 and servers not activating to enterprise edition. We use AWS ECS using fargate, and for instance when I bring up 6 instances, some of the will activate properly, and some will not. I’ll post in this thread what our logs look like - but the biggest clue we believe we have is that when it fails we see an error message like

An error has occurred while generating UUID.

right before

Failed to contact the Adobe Licensing server: java.lang.NullPointerException

and

The license POST request has failed. Status Code: 400 Reason: Bad Request

. Does this ring a bell with anyone? 🧵

@Mark Takata (Adobe) is there any update on when the next CF2021 update will be yet?
