…Using CFML to create HTML is also a great replacement for JSP.  You don’t have to give up your back-end (EJB, Spring, Hibernate) to use CF.

Adam Lehman is the Senior Product Manager for ColdFusion.  He says a lot of ColdFusion use cases are within a Java development cycle.  It’s a Java application, so it deploys as an .EAR or .WAR file.

I was doing a bit of research on a potential project when I stumbled across faint, a Java facial recognition library and decided to give it a quick try.

The bad news is that the documentation is literally non-existent. So I did a bit of poking around the Jar and quickly found an ‘OpenCVDetection’ class. I dropped the faint Jar in my class path, restarted CF and about 5 minutes and 14 lines of code later I got the following result…

Parsing Large XML File Into ColdFusion XML Object

Last week I had a big headache trying to import a 165MB XML file. I couldn’t even open it with any browse and reading it with ColdFusion gave me 500 errors, exceeded heap size, JRun closed connection, etc…

The solution I found was to read the file line-by-line using Java and creating blocks of XML code that allowed me to parse into objects and process them individually. Remembering, we use CF7 yet.

So I wrote this piece of code where I set my start tag and it will grab everything between my start and end tag, and assemble a XML object from there. I know the CF Gurus would suggest a much better solution, but that’s what i could accomplish with my humble knowledge and give a quick solution for the problem.
