Adobe Ships ColdFusion 8

Adobe released ColdFusion 8, a powerful development tool for building dynamic Web sites and Internet applications. The company claims the latest version increases developer productivity, advanced integration with complex enterprise environments, and rich and engaging experiences for users. 

ColdFusion 8 Server Monitor lets developers swiftly identify bottlenecks and tune the server for better performance. “The server monitoring capabilities in ColdFusion 8 are outstanding, offering granular-level access to identify slow requests and terminate runaway processes,” said Nick Walters, programming manager, Lightyear Network Solutions. “We can now receive actual detail as to which requests are taking the longest and which objects within a page are performing poorly. Server monitoring with ColdFusion 8 is leaps ahead of third-party applications on the market.”

ColdFusion 8 enables developers to integrate their ColdFusion applications with other Adobe technologies such as Flex, PDF, AIR, and LiveCycle. ColdFusion 8 also uses Ajax-based components, enabling developers to design and deploy engaging applications by integrating complex environments into intuitive interfaces.

ColdFusion 8 offers expanded support such as .NET integration, Vista and JBoss support, and integration with the latest version of enterprise databases.
