Event gateways are an exciting, new feature in Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7
that arose from one simple idea: that there are many applications out there
that aren't part of the Web and don't communicate through the HTTP protocol.
These applications are on all types of devices. They run the gamut from the
ubiquitous instant messaging clients to SMS on mobile phones to new things
that haven't even been invented yet. ColdFusion does a great job powering
applications that run on the Web -why not power non-Web applications too? Not
only should it be possible for ColdFusion developers to write applications
for non-Web applications and devices, but it should be easier to write them
in ColdFusion than any other way.
ColdFusion MX 7 ships with several exciting types of event gateways that make
it easy for you to get off the ground running with things like SMS. The

Migrating your application to ColdFusion MX from a previous version is a
project that's probably high on many of your priority lists.
Macromedia, like many other companies, has a multitude of disparate internal
and external Web sites that are powered by ColdFusion. The week before CFMX
CDs were sent out to the manufacturing plant for duplication, we took the
opportunity to upgrade many of our systems to CFMX. Additionally, throughout
the beta cycle, I worked with many of you personally to help test your
applications on CFMX.
We learned a lot from these two exercises, and much of ... (more)
This session covers the basic principles of tuning software for performance
and concentrates on tuning Web applications written ColdFusion.
Jim talks from experience as he discusses the lessons learned from working on
the latest version of ColdFusion, CFMX 6.1 (Red Sky). The tuning process is
described in detail along with information specific to tuning ColdFusion
application code and server settings. This includes the process of finding
bottlenecks running load tests systematically finding optimizations tuning
J2EE application server settings
