It's not obvious what version of iText that ColdFusion 9 uses. Any ideas?
ColdFusion 9.0.1 comes with "iText 2.1.0 (by lowagie.com)"
You can find a ColdFusion script to determine the version here: http://cfsearching.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-determine-version-of-itext.html

Earlier we were using Lucene version 2.3.1.3(Sitecore version 6.5) everything working fine but now we have upgraded to sitecore version 7.0(Initial release) and now we are using Lucene version 3.0.3.0 dll in project.
But now we are not able to compile project because of errors in code file.
Does that means Lucene version 3.0.3.0 dll doesn't support code written in Lucene version 2.3.1.3(Sitecore version 6.5)
Thanks
Upgrading from Sitecore 6.x to 7.0 needs some adjustments in code to get everything work again.
Which error do you get? I also had a specific error regarding lucene dll when compiling after the upgrade but this error was only caused by a wrong assembly redirect in the web.config.
In fact, the search API changed completely and if you made an upgrade to 7.0 it is recommended to update your search logic to the possibilities are now available in 7.0 like LINQ support and so on. Search is much more comfortable now in sitecore 7 and it is really worth taking a closer look at the changes. They took a lot of the advanced database crawler module like dynamic fields (they are now called computed fields) and much more and added it to the sitecore 7 standard search api.
I am trying to migrate a clojure application from Tomcat on SUN JRE to WebSphere Application Server on IBM's SDK. The application was compiling fine (ANT) using SUN JRE 1.7 but was throwing NullPointerExceptions with IBM's SDK 6, 7.
I suspected clojure itself (v1.1 + contrib 1.1) and attempted to compile it. Again, clojure compiled with SUN's JRE but stopped with IBM's SDK at a clojure defmacro. I had similar results with clojure 1.2 + contrib 1.2. I don't want to go above version 1.2 because, to my understanding, that is when contrib retired and it will be a big rewrite that I doubt will fix the issue.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I've been able to finally figure it out.
The problem is in IBM JDKs versions 6 (Although some versions of 6 might work with no problem) and 7 JIT compiler. By disabling JIT (e.g -Xnojit in the JVM arguments), I was able to build successfully.
Thank you all for your efforts and support.
============= EDIT =============
The JIT issue is fixed starting Java 7 SR4 and later. This is the SDK 7 that ships with WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5.
I've seen several examples, but for libraries with Gecko 1.9.2 or earlier, how do I create a plugin for Firefox 5 in C++?
The strange thing is that the official website just to gives me examples for Firefox v. 1.5 through v. 3.6 which is why I have experienced some difficulty.
You're better off using ctypes.
I’m migrating one of our ColdFusion 8 servers to a 64-bit server and was wondering if anyone knows of a place to download the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 8?
Thanks,
Paul
You can download CF8 64 bit from here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion8
Just be sure to notice that in CF8, there was only support for 64-bit in CF 8 Enterprise (or Developer) but not CF 8 Standard. That was changed in CF9, so that you can run 64-bit on either edition.
(Here's something perhaps related, if yours is a move to a more modern 64-bit version of Windows: beware as well that if you're deploying on a server running IIS 7, that was also not supported in CF 9 (or 8) and required manual tweaks to get it to work. CF 9.0.1 (the free updater that you install on top of 9.0) does add that support.)
I know coldfusion builder is released for developing coldfusion 9 applications. Now my question is whether coldfusion builder support COLDFUSION 8 development?
Great thanks.
You can change the ColdFusion version for code assist, etc in the preferences. Under ColdFusion > Editor Profiles > Editor > Code Assist.
The options are version 7 through 9.
I am sure it supports it, in that you can write code that works just fine. In fact, I have used it to develop CF7 code - you just need to be aware that by default the hinting and helping mechanisms will probably target the features of 9 and you might get some errors from that. At least in CFEclipse you can change the version you are targetting - I would imagine CFBuilder allows for the same thing, but alas, I don't have it handy to hunt for the setting.
Give the demo a shot and see what you think.
In case you work with visual studio code, it maybe is worth mentoning the newest version of the "coldfusion builder plugin" for visual studio code. It's free and from adobe and very useful. Just search for "ColdFusion" or "CFML" in your marketplace tab in VS Code. Also, there is a pre-release document / whitepaper about it.
