I have been watching some of the presentations at Charlie Arehart's UGTV web site. Charlie has added this site were people can place the links to their breeze presentations. There are some excellent presentations there to watch. Breeze presentations are a great way to learn about new subjects if you are unable to attend these presentations in person. Keep up the good work Charlie.

I have put the PowerPoint presentation and the sample code from my JaxFusion presentation on my site. The powerpoint and the sample code from my presentation last night can be located on these links.

The JaxFusion user group is meeting tonight at 6:30 PM at Vurv Technology in Jacksonville. I will be giving a presentation on XML features in ColdFusion MX as well as the StAX Java API. StAX allows ColdFusion and Java to process very large XML files.

I finished creating my presentation on XML yesterday. One of the things that became obvious was that there is a lot more than an hours worth of content on XML. Even with all of the XML features in ColdFusion, there are still some shortcomings in the way that ColdFusion handles XML.

The folks over at New Atlanta hae released a beta of the next version of their Blue Dragon server. You can download it by going to the page. Blue Dragon is a CFML server that works in Java and .NET. Vince Bonfanti demoed one of the new features at CFUnited this year. The feature was the inclusion of a CFThread tag and a CFJoin tag for doing multi-threaded processing.

Bryan Kaiser and Michael Haynie plugged my website again on the last episode of the Coldfusionpodcast. This last episode covered the Fusion debug tool for eclipse. If have thought about using a more traditional debugger with ColdFusion, Michael and Bryan give an overview of this new tool. They even managed to pronounce my last name correctly. Thank Guys.

The next JaxFusion User Group meeting will be on October 3rd, 6:30 PM at Vurv Technology in Jacksonville. The presentation will be on XML in ColdFusion MX, as well as how to use StAX API to handle large XML files.

I saw this error in the CF_talk list yesterday. I have had this error in ColdFusion before. As far as I can tell this happens when there is a lot of repetitive code in your CFCs. I was using a meta code generator to create CFCs for a gateway I was writting. There were SQL tables with over 100 columns and structures with over 100 keys.
