Invoking Java Servlets in ColdFusion
Adding the power of Java servlets to your Web site is easier than ever when you combine the strengths of ColdFusion and JRun. However, every journey begins with one small step.

Integrating ColdFusion Applications with Microsoft Active Directory
A key advantage in using ColdFusion to develop Web applications is the ease of which it allows you to integrate with other standard Internet protocol-based systems. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a key Internet protocol supported by ColdFusion via the CFLDAP tag. The Microsoft Active Directory - which is the heart of Windows 2000 and XP network operating systems - provides an LDAP compliant interface. This LDAP interface allows the ability to integrate ColdFusion applications with the Microsoft Active Directory.

Locking in ColdFusion
We all know that locking is important. Most of us even understand why locks are needed. But exactly where to use a lock, which lock type to use and what code to put within the lock remains confusing at best.

Newbie Tags
As a newbie, you can expect to hear comments about "newbie tags". You may hear "Oh, I'd never use CFINSERT or CFUPDATE, I only use SQL within CFQUERY". If you follow a discussion on this you won't see any strong technical cases against them and when I've pushed the discussion, it ends up being admitted that problems haven't been seen since 4.5 but "SQL is much more flexible and powerful".
