Features

Central Configuration Server

Manage a cluster of multiple ColdFusion servers which are centrally configured in one location. From the admin UI you can auto-discover ColdFusion nodes in the same network and add them to the Central Configuration Server.

HTML to PDF

Generate pixel-perfect PDF files from HTML pages. An optimized CSS ensures that the content in the PDF file appears and functions as it does in the web browser,  retaining its formatting, layout, and hyperlinks.

Modularization

Continuously integrate small pieces of code and deliver applications quickly and seamlessly by taking advantage of ColdFusion server modularization. Now install only the services your application needs and nothing more.

Docker Images

Deploy and scale applications quickly in any environment and ensure your ColdFusion code runs seamlessly in all of them. Standardise environments for continuous integration and delivery of your applications.

Asynchronous Programming

Boost the performance of your principal application by using the RUNASYNC function to offload resource-intensive code segments to a secondary thread and avoid managing multiple threads. Once the result is ready to be consumed, you’ll receive a notification. 

Improved Object-Oriented Support

Increase code reuse, improve modularity, enhance productivity and implement object-orientated design patterns using final variables, methods and components, abstract components, default functions, interfaces, and co-variant return types.

Database Monitoring

Monitor all database queries, transactions, and query cache visually and get pre-determined or customized alerts to proactively take preventive or corrective action. Make sure your database doesn’t act as a drag on application performance.

External Services Monitoring

Ensure that all the components of your IT infrastructure are working in sync. Zero in on external factors such as web services, file systems, mail servers, LDAP, Microsoft SharePoint, or transfer protocols that could be slowing down application performance.

Full CFSCRIPT Support

Develop applications faster and more easily by accessing every ColdFusion functionality using CFSCRIPT. Work productively with complete scripting support for CFSCRIPT and even an optional semicolon to end a line of code.

Web Services Support

Publish and access web services with less code using the WSDL 2.0 specification and SOAP 1.2. Enable filtering on REST services using built-in support for JSON field projection. Control REST requests using the onRESTRequest Lifecycle method.

Dynamic and Interactive HTML5 Charting

Create a large repository of dynamic, data-heavy HTML5 charts, with a versatile server-side charting engine, using the built-in CFCHART tag. Show data in a wide range of interactive formats with features such as zoom-in to help consumers get a granular view of information.

Code Profiler

Swiftly identify and resolve complex performance issues buried deep in your code. Get detailed information required to pinpoint the root cause of bottlenecks and troubleshoot applications more effectively. 

CF Setup 

Deploy server settings from one instance to another, manage them through a console and automate your admin tasks seamlessly with CF Setup. Uniformity of applications across servers is now a given.

REST Playground

Create and manage all your REST services from a single application. The simple, intuitive UI makes it a breeze to validate the accuracy of your APIs. Make changes to your REST APIs without having to restart your application.

CLI and Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL)

Manage and work with files, databases and email or invoke web services, by executing CFM via the command line. Execute the admin API from the CLI to script your ColdFusion server settings. Test-drive or learn CFML with REPL support in CLI.

Language Enhancements

Interact with external systems seamlessly with support for null preservation of data types and a more intuitive way of creating Java objects. Slash coding effort by manipulating arrays and queries easily, format DateTime with a single function, and much more. Enjoy all the CFML features you’ve been asking for. 

Automatic Connector Tuning

Eliminate 503 Service Unavailable errors by allowing the Performance Monitoring Toolkit to dynamically adjust connector settings based on incoming traffic. Ensure that your websites are always up and running.

Standardised PDF Metadata

Ensure the consistency of PDF metadata across the organization. Easily create, share and apply metadata, including copyright notice, authoring data, and keywords, by transferring metadata between PDF and XMP files.

Object-Relational Mapping Support

Build and manage database-independent applications using object-relational mapping (ORM) without writing any SQL. Index and perform a full-text search of ORM entities with the built-in Lucene search engine and obtain debug information through SQL logging.

Email Management

Effectively manage email without writing much code. Easily send email using an SMTP server with the CFMAIL tag. Attach a callback handler to the CFMAIL tag to get delivery notifications. Manage email by connecting to an IMAP server with the CFIMAP tag and retrieve mail from a POP mail server with the CFPOP tag.

LDAP and SAML Integration

Easily integrate existing users and groups from LDAP server in ColdFusion Administrator, while also enabling SAML SSO. Manage access permissions for different users and groups without having to re-create them again in the admin node.

JWT Integration in CF

Verify multiple entities quickly and efficiently with JWTs. The simple and flexible design of JWTs allows them to communicate authentication and authorization information about users between each other.

Single Sign-On

Enjoy the convenience of having one set of credentials across multiple applications. With SAML, all users have a single point of authentication, which gives the enterprise a birds-eye view of user-level access into the ecosystem at all times.

Auto Lockdown

With a single click, implement a lockdown of your production server, the steps of which will be systematically followed, ensuring that security measures are fail-safe and in compliance. Post-lockdown, the system will continue to be monitored for potential breaches.

Security Enhancements

Provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users with NTML authentication support on CFSHAREPOINT, CFOBJECT, and CFINVOKE. Access the ColdFusion administrator and Performance Monitoring Toolkit easily with Common Access Card (CAC) authentication.

Security Code Analyzer

Use the security code analyzer to scan existing application code and automatically detect vulnerabilities and potential security breaches. Identify the exact vulnerable code, type of vulnerability, and severity level and mitigate the vulnerability with the suggestion provided.

PDF Digital Signatures and Archival

Secure your PDF files with electronic signatures by having your users sign, certify, and validate the files. Use archiving features, including support for PDF/A-2b, to preserve electronic files as long-term, self-contained documents.

PDF sanitisation

Eliminate the unintentional release of sensitive hidden information that can be misused. Easily remove items — such as actions, JavaScript, flat form fields, alternate images, embedded page thumbnails, embedded files, document tags, and metadata — from your PDF documents.

Threat Protection

Safeguard your APIs by attaching them to out-of-the-box policies such as content type restriction, JSON structure limits, XML threat protection, HTTP message limits and IP access control.

PDF Redaction

Ensure the confidentiality of content while sharing or distributing PDF documents. Redact selected portions of visible content, including images, before sharing PDF files. Redacted areas are permanently removed and appear as blank or grayed out in the PDF document.
