- Railo Memory Monitor 0.1 Beta now available
An early Beta of the Railo Memory Monitor plugin is now available. To install, go to Extension > Applications in your Server administrator. You'll find the Memory Monitor available as a free extension.
After installation, you will see a Monitor section in your Server admin.
Note that as of 0.1, you will need to restart your JAVA servlet container (e.g., Tomcat, JBoss, etc.) for the Memory Monitor to function.

- Railo Tip of the Week: Installing SSL Certificates
As of Railo 3.3.2.001 you can install external SSL certificates of sites you want to access using CFHTTP and CreateObject(“webservice”).
This is done by simply going to the Railo Server Administrator on your server, looking on the left menu for “SSL Certificates” and putting in the site you want to add the certificate you want to use (for example somesite.com) and installing that certificate.
This means you can now do something like the following:
rs = CreateObject("webservice", "https://localhost/RemoteService.cfc?wsdl") dump(rs.getTime());This will now use the certificate you installed to communicate with that server.

- Railo Tip of the Week: Railo Resources
Since Railo 2.0, it is possible to use all different kinds of virtual file systems with all different kind of file related tags. Railo supports the following virtual file systems:
- file (file:// or c:\ or /var/…)
- ram (ram://)
Note that you can store the location for the RAM resource to any external cache or NoSQL key value store) - ftp (ftp://username:password@ftpserver/)
- db (db://datasourcename:/)
- http (http://fileLocation)
- ZIP (zip://pathToFile!directory/file)
- TAR (tar://pathToFile!directory/file)
- TGZ (tgz://pathToFile!directory/file)
- S3 (s3://secret:access@amazonaws.com/bucket)
When you want to use a given resource you can easily do it by using the following notation:
<cffile action="read" file="db://datasource/temp.txt" variable="susi"> <cfdirectory action="read" directory="ram://" name="susi"> <cfif fileExists("ftp://username:password@ftpServer/index.cfm")>...</cfif>In addition you can easily define any resource as a mapping pointing to that resource. So you then can use these mappings inside your code.

- CFCamp 2011! Be there or be a Pretzel!
Munich! City of Oktober fest and Pretzels! The big soft ones with butter inside. What could be more delicious than that? I tell you what is... CFCAMP 2011 is!
That's right ladies and gentle-folks, after a three year hiatus, there is going to be a stomping and knowledge-infusing conference in Munich this year, filled to the gills with awesome presenters and me!
For a measly €90 a ticket (going up to €119 in October, so get them whilst they are fresh!), your mind can be blown by the likes of Charlie Arehart (he of the inside secrets into ColdFusion 10!), Luis Majano (he of the mobile knowledge), Gary Gilbert exposing his JQuery to the public, Bilal Soylu will also be locking down your apps, and of course Andy Allan and myself, giving it all from our presenter's pulpit.
Sure you can't miss this?!
Head over to
http://www.cfcamp.org/anmeldung.cfmhttp://www.cfcamp.org/registration.cfm?ChangeLanguageTo=en to get your tickets (yep, it's in German, just use Chrome and translate it, you are a clever person right?This time in English! Don't say we don't spoil you!)

- Checking the memory of your applications in Railo 3.3.0.026 rc
If you have ever wondered how your memory is being used in a Railo Server application, why not get the latest development release of Railo Server: 3.3.0.026 rc (you know that you can do this from the server administrator right?).
Just go to http://yourdomain/railo-context/admin/server.cfm and log in, then you can click on the "update" button, set the updates to "Development", update and then click the "execute button below to get the latest update.
Once you have done that, in the Railo Server Administrator screen, you will see info about your installation and scrolling down you will get a nice graphic on how your memory is being used, like the example below:
Yet another handy feature of Railo Server! Nice!
