Pessoal,

li isso aqui na lista CF-Talk e acredito ser de interesse de todos.
Diz respeito aos detalhes do Blackstone, o novo CF... Vale a pena
ganhar um tempinho com isso aqui. Ahhh, foi o Doug James quem mandou.

All,

Below are my notes taken from Ben Forta's talk at CF-UN. None of what is
listed below is guaranteed to be included in Blackstone. Due to time
constraints, he could only show a little but apparently some of his
talks at user groups have been going 3+ hours.

Doug

Timeline:
- CFMX 6.1 updater this fall
  - not critical
  -  wrapper for many hotfixes
  - new JDBC drivers
- Blackstone beta will be released this fall
- Blackstone will be available first quarter 2005

Goals of Blackstone
- make new developers more successful in building applications
- give current developers features they can use
- emphasis given to end user features
- improved deployment reliability

Data Entry Enhancements
- skinnable forms (changes the look of the form background)
- built in XForms support
  - W3C standard <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/>
- cfform will generate XForms
  - can be styled and rendered via XSL
- tags that produce applets (for example: cftree and cfgrid) will be
replaced with flash output
- ability to render forms via flash
  - demonstated some very slick forms that included a tabbed interface
and an accordian interface

Printing
- add cfdocument tag
- natively produce pdf and flashpaper
(http://www.macromedia.com/software/contribute/productinfo/flashpaper/)
output

Reporting
- cfreport tag
- massively expanded
- uses new report builder to create an XML report definition that is
used to produce the output report

Deployment
- can deploy in bytecode format - no cfm's
- can produce a stand '.war' or '.ear' file that can be dropped into
java application server
- enterprise version will have ability to create multiple instances
right from the cf-administrator

Gateways
- the CF server will have the ability to listen for and respond to
anything that can produce a certain type of java event
- developers can build a gateway to interact with the CF server
- demonstrated a file drop gateway
  - produced a text file and placed it into a directory
  - the gateway produced the event
  - CF server responded and picked the file out of the directory and
displayed its contents on the web page automagically
- Macromedia supposedly has a telnet session interacting with CF
