One lets you specify application-specific classpaths to look at. ColdFusion applications use a core file that defines various settings. They can either drop that JAR file in the main classpath for the ColdFusion server. So what do I mean by “mostly”? Typically, a ColdFusion developer can use an external Java resource by taking a JAR file.
Using the Adobe Document Services Java SDK with ColdFusion In this article I’ll describe how that can be done quickly and easily. But there’s definitely use-cases and advantages where ColdFusion developers may want to make use of the Adobe PDF Services API. While ColdFusion ships with pretty robust document support already so some of what our team offers is already supported. Adobe PDF Services has a Java SDK that can be integrated within a ColdFusion application. ColdFusion developers make use of CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) to build applications and don’t need to every even think about Java, but the fact that it uses Java behind the scenes means that any Java library can (typically) be easily used from within a ColdFusion site.Īnd there’s where the fun comes in. Years later (and many conferences, blog posts, and books later), I no longer use ColdFusion for my day-to-day work, but I still have ties to the community and keep up to date on its new releases and features (as much as anyone can keep up with everything these days).ĬoldFusion is a J2EE application, which for those who don’t know is a fancy way of saying it runs on top of Java. As much as I liked using Perl, ColdFusion was incredibly productive and focused on making it easier to build dynamic web applications.
Initially, this was with Perl CGI scripts (they were all the rage back then, trust me), but eventually I stumbled upon Adobe ColdFusion (back then, a product of the Allaire Corporation). When I began (I’m old enough to remember when banner ads showed up), I focused mainly on building web applications with back-end application servers. I’ve been lucky to have been in my industry for many years, and have had a chance to change my focus more than once.
