I have now released a first version of a tool that I am implementing and using since a while.

CfEventManager is exactly what the word say. An EventManager tool for cfml programming.
Some of the features:

• Very light with a simple API to use/implement.
• Flexible to allow registering of events / listeners from cfml syntax, xml file and programmatically on runtime.
• Ability to cache the listeners objects.
• Use the built in event object or create your own in few easy steps.
• Ability ti stop event propagation.
• Order the listeners with a customized priority order.
• Autowire events object via coldspring by using the Brian Koteks beanInjector class.

On next releases to 1.0:

• Dispatching of async events.
• addEventListener based on regex match.

After deciding to move to Railo I get curious about OS systems and I am trying to set up a test environment using CentOs that looks like the best Enterprise linux distribution now available ( I am very new to linux world so I am possible completely wrong ).

I installed centos 5.3 on a virtual machine and now ?????

I will post my experience and newbie tips like:

STARTING APACHE ON CENTOS


START APACHE
/sbin/service httpd start

RESTART APACHE
/sbin/service httpd restart

STOP APACHE
/sbin/service httpd stop

ALL THE OPTIONS
/sbin/service httpd
#will output all the possible methods you can call on httpd service.

More newbie tips on CentOs, up to installing a development environment for railo, in the next future.

I have now released the very first version of TextAds , a Mango plugin that enable the management and display of text ads on your mango installation.
At this first stage plugin support just one provider planning to add more in the next future.
Let me have your feedback.

I am also interested in knowing which provider ( over adwords ) of text ads you are working with.

Last Version : 0.1
Last Update : 20 apr 2009
Require : Mango 1.3+

I think that any eclipse users has experimented  the fact that  eclipse tends to slow down. In the past I had to reinstall the whole environment especially after loading new plugins that was probably breaking something down. Btw I always followed as best practice to clen up eclipse any 6 months and I learned fast how to export preferences to be able to push them into the new install. In this way to pass to a new and clean eclipse install is quite painless.

In the last period I tried to reduce the number of opened projects in my workspace to the really important ones, and I  also experimented the solution of mantaining many workspaces but I do not feel very compofortable with that.

I then got the idea to check what kind of settings eclipse was passing to the jvm and blogging around I found a great post of Mike Henke.

I added the following arguments to my eclipse.ini file:


-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_12\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx512m
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-Xverify:none

The vm path depends on what do you have available in your machine, but I suggest you to update at least to version 1.6 update 12. Be carefull do not leave extra white spaces and .... look your turbo eclipse start to fly...

At the and arrived the day of the release of Railo 3.1. This is a milestone due to the fact that from this date Railo is officialy Open Source and most important joins a wide supported  project like Jboss.

Many news that I think will make the fortune of Railo that I am starting to consider any day more like my choice for the future:

• Brand new sites taht will be soon filled with news and docs ( getRailo.com and getRailo.org )
• Beta 3.1 version on Resin
• First experiment ( this is whant I am mostly interested in ) of jboss/railo installer on IIS7
• Railo will now have an extension manager connected to the website repository. There will be an api to give any developer the road to follow to write your own extensions and the place where to share them......I think this will be the key.

Good luck to railo and to the railo team!
