Taking over DNS

Once again, I'm attempting to become my own authoritative domain host. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly this time, now that the proper IPs are already floating around.

JFission 0.2rc2

JFission 0.2rc2 is out, and available for download. RC1 was intended to be the final form, minus any bug fixes, of the 0.2 release, but after testing and using RC1, two things became apparent:

jf:loop needed to be a full-fledged replacement for c:forEach
grouped query output is a really nice feature, even if it's not used a [...]

Architecture Update

I mentioned in a post a while back that I'd switched from mod_rewrite/mod_proxy for connecting Apache with Tomcat, and I finally got around to updating the Site Architecture document to reflect those changes, so once again, it is an actual reflection of reality.

JFission 0.2rc1

The 0.2 release of JFission is imminent. A release candidate has been made available on the download page, and it will probably be renamed directly into the official 0.2 release. The online documentation and examples has been updated to reflect the changes and additions.

More Changes

Well, I'm about to start the switch from connecting Apache and Tomcat with mod_rewrite to using mod_jk, which should yield much greater performance, as well has handle redirects properly (which mod_rewrite doesn't seem to, even with following the manual word for word). I'm also taking over mail and DNS hosting for all the domains [...]

Mail and DNS

I finally got a mail server (SMTP and POP) running on here, using a really nice "toaster" from Bill Shupp. The Courier (IMAP server) doesn't seem to work, but I know little about IMAP, and I didn't plan on using it, so I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.
I can now officially be reached at [...]

CF Error Template

After long-standing frustration with certain aspects of the CF error templates, I finally took some time to build in the display of CFQUERYPARAM values on database exceptions. I've packaged up the files you need to run the modified templates and made them available for download.
Bug reports can be submitted through the Email Me form, [...]

JFission 0.1 Implemented

I got the 0.1 functionality of JFission fully implemented and it has passed all the JUnit tests, which is promising. It's not yet running on my real server, but it's on my dev box and running like a champ. I'm working on updating the docs and then I'll put it up here for [...]

Updated Architecture Document

I updated the site architecture document to reflect the changes I've made since I wrote the original. The big change is that everything is now running through Tomcat for layouts and page counting. The "pages" are now nothing more than a few c:set tags to create some content pieces that are assembled by [...]

JFission Update

I took a bunch of time and wrote some initial docs for JFission, and made a prerelease version available for download. Included in the new info I posted is a list of all the functions that make up the 0.1 release. The ones that are already implemented are marked as well, so you [...]
