Just came across this snippet of information on Seans Corfield's blog regarding Coldfusion 9.Then he said that Adobe is considering how to expose all of the "services" inside CF as SOAP and AMF remote services. The idea is that it would allow clients to access the engines that drive CF's query, mail, document (PDF), imaging, charting, Exchange services etc.

After installing a pile of applications onto my new Mac the next order of business was installing server software, including Coldfusion 8. Intially I thought this would be a very easy process but that was not the case. Apparently Leopard and Coldfusion 8 do not play together nicely and a bit of massaging is neccessary to get everything in order. A some Googling I came across this post which works perfect.
