Thanx. It sounds great. But what will be the future of Railo 3.0 enterprise? Will the commercial version be over?

Boris, almost

CFVIDEOPLAYER will be in the OS version. For CFVIDEO you can purchase an extension package which will be available for install for around 30 US$ or so…

I would like to know if the opensource version of Railo has all the multimedia options available in Railo 3.0 enterprise.

Could you point me to some example code of 3.0 using Flex / Flash Remoting? Everything I have found does not work. Please help if you can.

Steven,

You are correct. Maybe Railo will help the other way around then: some JBoss developers might be interested in looking at what is Railo (due to the out-of-the-box experience) and then help grow the CFML community. But as you pointed out, the other way around was already possible before (through Adobe Coldfusion or Railo btw).

Cheers,

sacha

There will be no restriction with the railo web/server administrator in the OS Version, the administrator is only a cfml application around the tag cfadmin.
the tags cfdocument and cfpdf will be available as well, we have found a solution with the producer of the pdf library to bring the full pdf functionality to Railo OS.

I’m just as excited about the open source CFML engine Railo’s integration with JBoss as everyone else, but with respect to the comment “This will be a big step forward for CFML, introducing it to a new web community”, I’d just like point out that the Adobe ColdFusion Server introduced full support for JBoss about a year ago with the release of ColdFusion 8. In fact, I’m writing this from one of the machines which I tested and QA’d that configuration.

Hey Sacha and All,

Any plans to let cfobject easily lookup EJB3 session beans?

Would be awesome

Will it be possible to use CFML as the view in a Seam app?

Joe,

Glad you like it. I’ll let Gert comment on the console, but as no code has been open sourced yet, the beta binary is still the one based on the proprietary codebase (which can rely on the licensed thirdparty components). Once open sourced, these thirdparty components won’t be present anymore.

Cheers,

sacha

@Sacha,

This was fantastic news.

I was at Scotch when this was announced, and immediately shifted my “ColdFusion and Hibernate” presentation to be a “CFML and Open Source Java” – basically, I presented on a Railo + Hibernate + Spring stack, and it *just worked*. Using CFML’s super-easy templating / view / SOA layer with the enterprise backend and having it all be open-source is a dream.

@Gerald

I’m running the beta, and it has admin consoles. Gert, can you clarify?

Andy,

Feel free to contact me, I am sure you can guess my e-mail address from the URL of this blog

Gerald,

Those features will not be open sourced because Railo doesn’t have the right to open source them – not for any other reason. However, this doesn’t mean you are stuck in XML-land JBoss is collaborating with Hyperic on the http://www.rhq-project.org/ project which is currently used as the foundation for our JBoss ON maangement platform (http://www.jboss.com/products/jbosson).

If you are interested in providing management features for Railo (monitoring, configuration, discovery, etc., you can do so pretty easily by implementing a RHQ plugin. If you want to learn more about this process, you should start reading Heiko Rupp’s 5 blog entries on that topic: http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com/2008/05/writing-rhq-plugin-part-1.html

Cheers,

Sacha

…(such as the PDF generation and their online admin console) and which cannot be open sourced.

So… no server/web admins?

So we are back to editing xml/config files like with Open BD?

Sacha,

That would be a fantastic idea. I’ll be in constant touch with Gert about “things” but maybe we should exchange a few emails as well?
