This upgrade version of Adobe ColdFusion 9 Standard will install only if you are a licensed user of ColdFusion Standard v. 7 or ColdFusion Standard v. 8.

Adobe ColdFusion software enables developers to rapidly build, deploy, and maintain robust Internet applications for the enterprise. With the latest release, ColdFusion 9, developers can condense complex business logic into even fewer lines of code. In tandem, Adobe ColdFusion Builder software, an Eclipse based IDE for efficiently managing ColdFusion application development from concept through deployment, is available on Adobe Labs. Together, they offer a complete set of tools and services for creating rich, robust Internet applications.

Ideal for delivering a robust website or application on a single server, ColdFusion 9 Standard provides powerful development capabilities in an easy-to-manage configuration.

FEATURES

Rapidly build, deploy, and maintain Internet applications
Adobe ColdFusion 9 software enables developers to rapidly build enterprise-ready Internet applications by condensing complex business logic into fewer lines of code. Plus, unique integration between ColdFusion and the Adobe Flash Platform provides the easiest solution for building rich Internet applications (RIAs) from client to server.

• Office file interoperability - New
  Easily generate office documents for reporting, decision making, and presentations. Read, create, and update spreadsheets using the - New CFSPREADSHEET tag. Programmatically generate PDF files from Microsoft PowerPoint and Word files. Dynamically produce presentations in HTML or SWF from PowerPoint presentations directly on the server.


• Tight integration with ColdFusion Builder - New
  Leverage the power of Adobe ColdFusion Builder software, a highly customizable, Eclipse based IDE that enables developers to build ColdFusion applications faster than ever before.


• Object-relational mapping - New
  Build database-independent applications using object-relational mapping (ORM) based on the open source Hibernate library. Save time and manage database logic and connectivity without writing any SQL. Use the ORM Application Wizard in ColdFusion Builder to generate ColdFusion components (CFCs) for logic and connectivity without writing a single line of code.


• Microsoft Office SharePoint integration - New
  Expose data from Microsoft Office SharePoint web services to a ColdFusion application with the - New CFSHAREPOINT tag. Additionally, use the single sign-on capability in SharePoint to display a ColdFusion application as a web part within a SharePoint site without requiring users to reenter their credentials.


• Enhanced Adobe Flash Platform integration - Enhanced
  Take advantage of faster Flash Remoting to increase application performance. Use ColdFusion as a Service to speed up RIA development by easily accessing many existing enterprise services via AMF without writing a single line of CFML.


• ColdFusion as a Service - New
  Leverage the power of ColdFusion enterprise services via AMF or SOAP without writing a single line of CFML. These services include CFCHART, CFDOCUMENT, CFIMAGE, CFMAIL, CFPDF, and CFPOP. Additionally, make your application more secure by sandboxing these services to prevent access by unknown applications.


• Adobe AIR local/remote database synchronization - New
  Offer users applications with online/offline capability featuring reliable data management. Using SQLLite in the client and ORM on the server, ColdFusion 9 manages conflict resolution and data synchronization between the client and server when your application comes back online.


• New Ajax controls - Enhanced
  Build more compelling and intuitive applications with a broader set of Ajax controls that leverage the - New Ext JS 3.0 library via CFML tags and attributes. - New controls include mapping, multimedia player, multifile upload, accordion navigation, progress indicator, confirmations, alerts, buttons, and sliders.


• Server Manager - New
  Save time by simultaneously performing administrative tasks across multiple servers from one central console. You can create data sources, schedule tasks, apply hot fixes, clear caches, and compare settings across a cluster of ColdFusion servers.


• Built-in support for portlet standards - New
  Expose virtually all enterprise applications, including ColdFusion applications, in one integrated portal. ColdFusion 9 allows you to define a ColdFusion component as a portlet. This includes support for Java Portlet Specifications JSR 168 and JSR 286.


• Instance-based licensing - New
  Now take your ColdFusion applications to the cloud with - New instance-based licensing in ColdFusion 9. In addition to your physical deployment, install ColdFusion 9 on up to 10 virtual instances in the cloud environment of your choice.


• Enhanced PDF functionality - Enhanced
  Reduce required code by adding images to PDF files directly within the CFPDF tag. Brand and protect files by easily adding watermarks, headers, and footers to your PDF files.


• User-based Administrator and RDS access
  Improve application security by restricting access to the ColdFusion server. Create multiple ColdFusion Administrator and Remote Development Services (RDS) accounts with individual permissions. Permissions determine which pages and functions are accessible in the ColdFusion Administrator and the Administrator API.


• Server Monitor
  Improve usability through greater visibility into internal application performance. By providing information about the server -- including requests, queries, memory usage, and errors -- the Server Monitor and Multiserver Monitor allow you to troubleshoot and fine-tune applications in development and production. Set alerts and other actions to help prevent memory problems, slow pages, or other performance issues.
