the singularity of being and nothingness
Update Miscellany
Wow, it's been far too long since I've posted. I've been quite busy as of late, and have been putting the finishing touches on a couple of pretty decent sized projects.
But perhaps most interesting to followers of this site is the fact that I'll be working with a friend of mine over the next couple of months to completely revamp a site that we think will be pretty sweet in a couple of months. But the coolest part is that we're going to be creating this site-as much as possible-using exclusively ColdFusion ORM. As we make progress, I'm going to do my best to regularly blog about our experiences as we tap into this extremely cool technology that is available in CF9.
So anyway, stay tuned…I hope to have some killer posts up very soon

ColdFusion ORM - Collection…was not processed by flush()
about 2 months ago - No comments
This is more for my own memory, but perhaps it will be useful to others Let’s say I have the following entities: User.cfc component persistent=”true” entityname=”User” table=”User” { property name=”UserID” fieldtype=”id”; property name=”Name”; property name=”Age”; property name=”Group” fieldtype=”many-to-one” cfc=”Group” fkcolumn=”GroupID”; } Group.cfc component persistent=”true” entityname=”Group” table=”Group” { property name=”GroupID” fieldtype=”id”; property name=”Name”; property name=”Activities” fieldtype=”one-to-many”…
Custom SQL Projections in CriteriaBuilder
about 4 months ago - No comments
In my last post, I showed how you can pretty easily integrate ColdBox’s awesome CriteriaBuilder with subqueries. As I was using this approach, I came across another (unrelated) challenge that I wanted a solution for. Simple Grouping/Summing In one of my queries, I wanted to do some simple grouping/summing. With CriteriaBuilder, you can do this…
ColdFusion Bug? EntityToQuery() and Unknown Data Type
about 8 months ago - No comments
I ran into an interesting issue today. To make a long story a little less uninteresting, I was basically trying to go from an array of ORM entities to an Excel dump of the data in those entities. Obviously, the easiest way to accomplish this is to first convert the array of entities to a…
Quick Update to Gloss
about 1 year ago - No comments
Based on feedback from several users (thanks to Charlie and Tyler!), I’ve updated the search interface to Gloss a bit. It’s still a work in progress, but this newest fix has resolved the issue of lack of keyboard navigation to search results from the search field. Here’s what has changed: You can now tab out…
ColdFusion 9 and Ternary Operation
about 2 years ago - No comments
Just a quickie I learned about ternary operators in JavaScript probably about 6 months ago, and absolutely fell in love with it. After all, who doesn’t love to convert something bulky to something clean and able to fit on one line? THEN: var myidea = ”; if(thething==’yes) { myidea = ‘great’; } else {…
ColdFusion and ORM…Yummy!
about 2 years ago - No comments
The other day, I was flipping through the ColdFusion docs (yeah, super exciting!) and came across the section about ColdFusion's support of ORM. If you're not familiar with it (I wasn't really until a few days ago), ORM stands for "object-relational mapping." While it sounds a bit overly technical, ORM is basically a way to…
CFSharePoint: Copy Items from One Folder to Another
about 3 years ago - No comments
In a previous post, I wrote about watching out for data type mismatches when using the CFSharePoint tag. While this is all well and good, much of my post was based on a misconception of how an "inout parameter" works. While I can't claim great knowledge of this, I think I have a better understanding.…
CFSharePoint: Adding Groups…and Users to Them :)
about 3 years ago - 10 comments
Enough of lists! The last few posts, I’ve been dealing with the same old boring lists, and I’ve grown tired of that. So today, I want to show a quick example of how to use some of the Users and Groups web services to handle user and group management. So let’s say I have a…
CFSharePoint: Adding List Items with Attachments
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
In my last post, I showed how simple it is to post a list item to a SharePoint list from Coldfusion 9. In this post, I want to expand a bit, showing how to add an attachment to a newly created list item. I also thought it would be a bit more fun to use…
