Alagad Ally - Web Development Task Force

OK so it’s time to start sharing our ColdFusion wishlists again, now that CF8 is out and being used around the world. So what do I want to see in CF9?This:

<cftransaction name="trans1" action="begin" result="trans1rslt" />
<cftransaction name="trans2" action="begin" />

<cfquery name="foo" datasource="foo" transaction="trans1">
…sql here//
</cfquery>

<cfquery name="foo" datasource="foo" transaction="trans2">
…sql here//
</cfquery>

<cftransaction name="trans1" action="rollback" />
<cftransaction name="trans2" action="commit" />

<cfdump var="#trans1rslt#" />  

Thanks to everybody both on the blog and various other forums for the suggestions on fixing the access issue with the Reactor subversion repository.  In the end, I still have no idea what was wrong.  I finally got so fed up with it, that I wiped out the entire Apache configuration and started from scratch.  Guess what?  It worked.  So, for anybody looking at the mixed authentication example in the Subversion book, it does work.In terms of Reactor, it has moved to a new server, but all of the original web addresses still work.

Trac Site: http:/trac.reactorframework.org
Subversion Repository: http:/svn.reactorframework.org
Documentation: http:/livedocs.reactorframework.org

Thanks again for the help.

Recently in upgrading some of our systems, we moved all of our Trac sites and SVN repositories over to a single server running the latest versions of Trac and SVN.  Now most of these sites and repositories are for client projects and are therefore secure.  A couple of the SVN repositories are for open source projects however – Reactor being one of them.  Therefore, we need to allow anonymous read access and here lies the issue.

As Joe announced yesterday, on Wednesday at 9pm there will be a frameworks BOF (bird’s of a feather) session.   I expect I’ll be there to represent Reactor and, maybe, an as of yet unannounced framework.  Maybe, just maybe, if you attend the BOF you’ll learn the (suggestive) name of this new framework!
At the same time, Scott will be giving his Prototyping Applications in Flex presentation as a BOF session.  This was moved due to a scheduling conflict with another presentation.
Whichever you choose, we (Alagad) hope to see you there!

For a long time now, the reactor mailing list has worked on two email addresses, [email protected] and [email protected].  Because I’m moving from my current mail server to using Gtalk for Domains I’m going to have to disable [email protected].  The mailing list should continue to work as it always has from [email protected].
