I received a questions in my email today from blog reader, Rob Rawlins:

A client of mine wants me to change the SOAP web service I publish into a REST service, and I dont even know where to begin.

I just got a brand new Mac Pro yesterday - I spent most of yesterday installing stuff, but today I was trying to get a little work done... I ran into a problem when trying to invoke web services on CF8 - it threw the following error:

coldfusion.jsp.

I have been very busy today launching the CFImage Effects Component for ColdFusion 8.

I love the fact that you can now create threads with CFML in ColdFusion 8, however as Spiderman can tell you with great power comes great responsibility.

Using threads can increase the performance of your application, however using threads can also decrease performance.

One of the handy new features in ColdFusion 8 is that CFC's are now serializable. There isn't a whole lot of information about this new feature in the docs, but I did some playing around and it does appear that they have used Java's serialization API. This means that you can use java's java.io.

When ColdFusion 7 came out I did a series of blog entries on small often overlooked new features. Well ColdFusion 8 is now out, and I thought it would be a good idea to do the same.

One handy new feature in ColdFusion 8 is the statusCode attribute in the CFLOCATION tag.
