Maximizing the new features in ColdFusion 9 for an enhanced hosting experience

The latest ColdFusion release, ColdFusion 9, offers an impressive array of new and enhanced features intended to increase the efficiency and productivity for IT professionals, webmasters, and developers alike. If you haven’t taken a look at what ColdFusion 9 offers, here are the top 5 reasons you should consider ColdFusion 9 hosting for your business website or e-commerce applications.

1. Tight integration with ColdFusion Builder. One of the most talked about new features in ColdFusion 9 is a dedicated ColdFusion IDE – ColdFusion Builder. Built on top of the open source project Eclipse, the same platform that powers Adobe Flash Builder, ColdFusion Builder is deeply integrated with ColdFusion 9 and enables web developers to manage their entire development life cycle with a single tool. This makes the process of building powerful web applications faster and easier. ColdFusion Builder can be run as a standalone installation or as a plug-in to Eclipse or Flash Builder.
2. Object Relational Mapping (ORM). ORM is a powerful Rapid Application Development (RAD) solution for building data-driven applications. It allows developers to map data to and from a relational database by using object models. This helps web developers save a significant amount of time by making complex database calls without writing any SQL queries.
3. Integration with Adobe AIR. ColdFusion 9 has an ORM for AIR. There is a CF-AIR persistent framework for SQLite on the server side. The application synchronizes the data from a ColdFusion data source to a local SQLite database. It is as simple as setting the persistent attribute to true on an ORM component. On the AIR side, it can take more effort depending on the features you need. In some cases you may need conflict management, but even a complicated task can be done with just a few lines of code.
4. Office, Exchange, and Sharepoint Integration. ColdFusion 9 hosting allows for integration with Office products like Excel, Word and PowerPoint. By using cfdocument, cfpresentation, or cfspreadsheet tags you can easily create, convert, and read Office files.
5. Powerful Search Capabilities. ColdFusion 9 comes with Apache SOLR included. SOLR is an open-source enterprise search server based on the Lucene Java search library. SOLR takes Lucene and packages it up as an HTTP server. It runs as a web application inside a servlet container, providing the functionality of Lucene and other search capabilities such as faceting. SOLR also provides easy configuration through XML.

There are many more new and enhanced features available for you to take advantage of with ColdFusion 9 web hosting. By choosing a ColdFusion hosting service you can save time, effort, and resources on your next highly productive and scalable development project.
