First off, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy 2010!! Almost 2 weeks late. Better late than never. ;) Railo Open Source has come a long way since the open source release on March 31st, 2009 and we hope to make 2010 even more interesting for the ... [More] community.For those of you that aren't on the mailing list, you may be unaware that Jordan Michaels of Vivio Technologies fame has stepped up to be the Volunteer Community Deployments Coordinator for Railo last month. Jordan Michaels and Andrea Campolonghi have been busy ever since getting the new Installers project up and running. Keep in mind that this is a Community effort and the Railo team is very appreciative of Jordan's time in helping the CFML Community become a better place as he's also very active with the Open BlueDragon installers as well.Be sure to keep tabs on http://projects.getrailo.org/, you may find some interesting hosted projects now and then.

I hope everyone knows by now that Railo is a JBoss Community project? We recently completed the JBoss ISV Partner approval process so that Railo is listed as an ISV Partner and the Railo server is listed in the ISV software catalog. This should help ... [More] draw even more new users to CFML from the Java community (we already see a steady stream of Railo downloads by Java developers who have not previously used CFML)! [Less]

If you've installed or upgraded to Railo 3.1.2+ and you're also using Transfer, you may (or may have already) bumped into this error:Message: Bean creation exception during init() of transfer.TransferFactory Detail: read acccess is protected:to ... [More] access the configuration without a password, you need to change the read access to [open] in the Server Administrator To get around this issue, you'll need to do the following: Log into your server admin:http://{hostname}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm?action=security.access Change "Access Read" to "Open" and save. Nothing has changed in regards to code, but a decision was made to tighten down security. [Less]

A question came up on the mailing list about how to reset passwords if you've forgotten them. This entry will cover both the server context and the local web context. Server Context (e.g. http://{hostname}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm ) You'll ... [More] want to open up the railo-server.xml in your {railo installation}/railo-server/context/ directory.Look for the line that has "<railo-configuration" and blank out the value of password="".Restart the railo instance and when you reload, you'll be asked for a new password. Local Web Context (e.g. http://{hostname}/railo-context/admin/web.cfm ) If you've forgotten the password for a local web context, you'll want to make sure you have a default password first.Log into http://{hostname}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm?action=security.password - Look for "Set default password" and set it.Open up {host root}/WEB-INF/railo/railo-web.xml.cfmLook for the line that has "<railo-configuration" and blank out the value of password="".Restart the railo instance and when you reload, you can type in the default password.Once inside the local web admin, you can click on password on the sidebar and change that local web context password. Update (Dec 8th, 2009) Heh. Shortly after this post, Micha pinged me as to why I didn't just point people to the password reset option in the server context. Truth be told, I forgot about it. It wasn't always there. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of http://{hostname}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm?action=security.password and you'll see this: - That will reset the password back to the default. [Less]

So, ages ago we posted up the origin of Railo and where the name comes from. Micha actually tracked down the episode and gave us a little clip. It came from Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1 - Episode 25. I think this may solve some of the, 'how do you pronounce Railo?' questions. [More]

A Railo user just pointed out that we don't have links to my series of blog posts about installing Railo on Tomcat anywhere on the Railo site or blog so I figured I'd rectify that! I started the series in March (before I joined Railo) and continued ... [More] through June, beginning with the simplest way to get Railo running (Railo Express) and working up through increasingly sophisticated configurations. Here are links to each of the posts: Part I - Railo Express (w/Jetty) Part II - Railo Express (w/Jetty) - Windows Part III - Railo on Tomcat - basic setup Part IV - Railo on Tomcat with Apache Part IV - Appendix - Adding mod_rewrite to the mix Tomcat Tips - Enabling directory listing Multi-Web Configuration - Railo on Tomcat with automatic deployment of Railo to new web roots Part V - Enabling SES URLs on Tomcat Most of the posts are for Mac OS X but the Apache/Tomcat configuration applies on Windows just the same.

Just a reminder that speaker selection for CFUnited 2010 started and that if you have a CFML topic that you think should be discussed and you're want to try your hand at presenting, you should submit your here ( http://callforspeakers.cfconf.org/ ). ... [More] If there's any interest in presenting Railo related topics (ehcache caching, clustering, etc), by all means, let us know so we can assist you. If you haven't been to cfunited before, I highly recommend it. I went to the 2009 conference (Thanks again Railo!) and it was great. Met a lot of people, talked a lot about CFML, jQuery and AIR. I dare say there was a lot of CFML developers interested in jQuery tracks. If you think jQuery is being discussed way too much in the cfml community (is that possible?) and you're a fan of dojo and whatnot, YOU SHOULD BE PRESENTING. Topics like this are awesome because they're relevant and they expose CFML developers to another framework that they might possibly look into / work with. If you are considering going to CFUnited, do yourself a favor, take a laptop. If you don't have one, beg, steal or borrow. There are a few hands on development track, but most of it is presentation and you should be trying out new code or brainstorming while you're there. The whole place is a big fountain of ideas. I have seen people assisting with debugging other people's code in the hallways, etc. Plus, If you're working on something cool now, you have a chance to present that 'something' at CFUnited's demo mania - they let anyone get up and present interesting stuff on their project. Slidesix's desktop app, Fusiondox and John Mason's Merlin project were presented among others. Even Raymond Camden had a cfml maze demonstration that from his blog. So, big or small ideas, feel free to share with the CFML community! [Less]

Probably one of my favorite features about Railo is the ability to update Railo immediately from the server context. Forget about applying patch after patch. Just update the server. Paul Kukiel recently tweeted a link that included a Jing Flash Video to demonstrate it. Thanks to Paul for letting me grab/host a copy here on the Railo blog. [More]
