4. TEST
Inspect & Debug
across devices
1. CREATE
<CFML> and JSUSING
2. Build & Deploy
TO BUILD APPS FOR
3. DEBUG
On Device Step
Debugging

1. CREATE Language
CFML + JS
 Complete CFML language on the client side
 CFML translated to JS during compilation
 All Language Constructs
 OO with CFC
 CFInclude - CFM, JS & CSS
 Custom Tags
 Fully interoperable with Javascript
 Use any of the JS Framework of your choice

Complete CFML.. Well almost
 Functions & variables case sensitive
 Variable resolution by the JS engine
 Variables needs to be scoped properly while accessing
 No auto conversion of the data type
 Boolean & Number will remain boolean & number

1. CREATE Synchronous Vs Asynchronous web programming
Success Handler 1
Success Handler 2 and invoke next SQL statement here
Success Handler 3 and invoke next SQL statement here
Error Handler 1
Error Handler 2
Error Handler 3

1. CREATE Device Detection
Touch Support
Canvas Support
Width and Height
Device Width and Height
Orientation- Including callback handlers
Device group name and descriptions

1. Create Easy to use CFML PhoneGap APIs
Simplified Synchronous API Access
File Contacts Camera
Geolocation Media
NotificationCapture
Storage
Accelerometer Events
Connection
Device Splashscreen

1. CREATE Client- Server communication
Invoke server CFC within CFClient without any proxy

PDF generation & Manipulation

New PDF generation Engine
 High Quality PDF
 Webkit & Acrobat based
 CFHtmlToPDF & CFHtmlToPDFItem
 Re-architected for high performance

 Convert PDF to PDF/A-1b
 Preserve PDF for long time as a self contained document.
<cfpdf action=“archive” source=“..” destination=“..”>
 Digital Signature
 Sign, create & sign, verify signature, unsign PDF
<cfpdf action="sign“ source=“…“ destination=“..“
keystore="cert.jks" keystorepassword="password“
signaturefieldname=“signField"/>

Language Enhancements

Full Script Support
18
 Generic script syntax for all tags.
 Example
http method="post" url=http://mysite.com/login.cfm
{
httpparam name= "username" type="FormField" value= "#uname#";
httpparam name= "password" type="FormField" value= "#passwd#";
}

Member functions
OO style method invocation for native datastructures/objects
arr.len() for ArrayLen
 Array
 Struct
 String
 List
 Date
 Query
 Image
 Spreadsheet
 XML
19

Closure Enhancements
 Inbuilt functions can be passed to Closures
transform(arr, ucase);
 ListEach, ArrayEach
 Passes the index & original collection to the closure function
 Map-Reduce
 Map Functions
ArrayMap(array, function(item [, index, origArray]))
StructMap(struct, function(key, value [, origStruct]))
ListMap(struct, function(item [,index, origList] ), delim)
obj.map(function(…))
 Reduce Functions
ArrayReduce(array, function(result, index, origArray){} [, initialValue])
StructReduce(struct, function(result, key, value, origStruct){} [, initialValue])
ListReduce(list, function(result, index, origList){} [, delim, initialValue])
Obj.reduce(function(…))
20

JSON Serialization
 Maintain the case for Struct – based on a flag in the
application/administrator
 Maintain the datatype
 Query –from the DB
 CFC – from the CFC metadata
 Nested CFC serialization (for ORM)
 Query as Struct
 serializeJSON(objToSerialize, [queryFormat], [secure])
 Queryformat – column | row | struct
 Custom Serializer – take the complete control of serialization
21

Language Enhancements - Others
 QueryExecute
 QueryExecute (sql, queryParams, queryOptions)
 Positional parameters
 Named parameters
 Elvis operator (?:)
displayName = userName ?: ”Anonymous”;
 Password support for cfzip
 cfzip action=“zip” encryptionAlgorithm=“AES-128|AES-
256|Standard” password = “passwd” …
 Cfzip action=“unzip” password=“passwd” …
22

REST Services
 Multiple host
 Service mapping unique for the host and not across the server.
 Default mapping (‘/’) for each host
www.site1.com/rest/
www.site2.com/rest/
 Auto-registration
 Pluggable Serializer/Deserializer
23

Websocket enhancements
 Cluster
 SSL
 Port 80 support on IIS 8 & Apache
24

Security
 CFMail encryption
<cfmail … encrypt="true"
encryptionalgorithm = "#algo#"
recipientcert="#path#" >
 Allow concurrent logins for cflogin
 <cflogin allowconcurrent="true|false">
 Flag for Admininstrator
 New Encode/Decode Functions from ESAPI
 Encode/Decode For CSS, HTML attribute, Javascript, URL, XML, xml attribute
 Secure profile in Administrator
 IP protection for Admin components – adminapi, componentexplorer etc.
