It is a multi-threaded service, which has built-in server load balancing and automatic server down machine transfer functions. ColdFusion provides extremely powerful expansion functions for interactive intensive web applications with large capacity and wide content.
What is ColdFusion Studio?
ColdFusion Studio is an integrated development environment that provides a range of efficient visual development tools for creating ColdFusion applications. It includes all HTML editing technologies in the award-winning Allaire Homesite products. At the same time, ColdFusion Studio combines visual database tools, programming tools and program verification tools to support remote team development, site management and implementation. ColdFusion Studio is different from ColdFusion Server. , independently released products.
What is ColdFusion Administrator?
It is an integral part of ColdFusion Server, a set of tools for remote server management. With it, administrators can easily monitor, configure, tune, and maintain ColdFusion servers, applications, and server clusters.
What is ColdFusion Extensions(CFX)?
ColdFusion Extension (CFX) is an open XML-based structure. Helps users to extend ColdFusion using new server component technology and use it to establish connections with open enterprise-level systems such as COM, CORBA, C/C++, VBScript, JavaScript, or CFML. CFXs extends CFML with new server-side tag tags. With CFX, developers can modularize and repeat calls developed encodings, integrate with the original systems and business processes, and extend ColdFusion to enable it to support new functions. With <Allaire DevCenter>, you can find hundreds of third-party CFXs.
What is Visual Tool Extensions(VTX)?
Visual Tools Extension is an open technology that provides new extensions to the current ColdFusion studio and Allaire HomeSite, including support for new CFX, new XML statement sets, and other applications. VTX can also be used to create new wizard systems. VTX can be created using XML-compliant Visual Tool Markup Language (VTML) or Visual Tool Object Model (VTOM).
What is ColdFusion Markup Language(CFML)?
ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a high-level server-side scripting language used to develop web applications and based on tags. The syntax structure of CFML is very similar to HTML and XML, and is very suitable for application development in markup languages. For development beginners, tag-based CFML syntax simplifies complex programming efforts. Experienced programmers can find 70 tags and more than 200 functions included in CFML, structured exception control, integration with COM and CORBM.
What are the advantages of CFML?
CFML is currently the most advanced server scripting language in practical web applications. CFML provides a very rich ordinary programming architecture, a powerful library of functionalities and complete expression syntax. Since it is based on tags, it has 3 main advantages compared to other server-side scripting languages.
Its tight integration with HTML and XML makes the process of web application development faster and easier.
CFML can provide encapsulation services for complex programs without the need for too many scripting languages, thereby greatly improving developer productivity.
Finally, CFML can be easily extended to ColdFusion Extensions (CFX) and reused as a component.
How extensible is ColdFusion?
ColdFusion provides advanced multi-threading services, which are built-in advanced threading, database connection caching, just-in-time compilation and automatic server downtime recovery functions. Therefore, server expansion can be performed on a machine based on hardware. ColdFusion 4.0 version supports cluster technology, and users can implement the application system on a group of server clusters to ensure dynamic load balancing and automatic recovery of downtime. In this way, you can rely on it to build a high-reliability and visiting site, and ensure that web applications can provide continuous and stable services to the site.
Can ColdFusion control large-capacity websites?
Yes. ColdFusion has prepared for the implementation of complex large-capacity websites with different requirements. The new features in ColdFuison 4.0 make it more convenient for you to expand servers, control and meet the needs of high frequency of application systems.
What technologies does ColdFuison integrate?
ColdFusion supports a wide range of network technology standards. include:
- Database connection through OLE_DB and ODBC;
- Native drivers that support other database products;
- Integrate mail protocols such as POP and SMTP, and LDAP directory protocol;
- Support and FTP for the file server's built-in file system;
- Distributed component technology via COM and CORBA technology.
- Through ColdFusion extension support, you can use CFML, C/C++ and other programming languages to extend ColdFusion and connect to other systems.
The Allaire logo library provides hundreds of extensions. ColdFusion can also be used in combination with a wide range of online paid technology and third-party technology.
How does ColdFusion application server improve application development efficiency?
ColdFusion is the fastest way to build and implement complex and large-scale websites. The ColdFusion development environment is based on an intuitive, tag-based server scripting language called ColdFuison Markup Language (CFML). CFML can be seamlessly combined with HTML to provide extensions to the data architecture.
ColdFusion supports a number of visual database tools, programming and program debugging tools, which accelerate the development process of developing, implementing and maintaining Web application systems.
What system platform does ColdFusion support?
ColdFuison's visual development tools can run on Windows NT and Windows 95/98. ColdFusion server supports Windows NT and Solaris. The HP-UX-enabled version will be launched in the first quarter of 1999. Allaire has announced that it will support Linux in future releases.
What kind of web server does ColdFusion support?
In addition to clustering technology, ColdFusion server can work with any web server that supports ISAPI, NSAPI, Apache API, or CGI. Includes Microsoft's Internet Information Server, Netscape Enterprise Server, Apache and other server software.
Equipped with cluster technology, ColdFusion can be used for complex websites with extremely large visits. Currently, ColdFusion servers with cluster technology can run on Windows NT and IIS, or Netscape Enterprise Server on Solaris.
