The Power of JAVA – The Convenience of CFML


CFML was developed by Jeremy and his brother Joseph Allaire in 1995 to develop web-based applications. Coldfusion Server, the world's first web application server originally developed in C, was running CFML. In 2005, CFML was migrated to the Java environment, and Coldfusion JAVA became an engine that generates real-time java byte code on servers. Workcube chose to use CFML to combine the power of Java with the ease of CFML. Because CF basically runs on popular open source java servers such as Tomcat and JBOSS. ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a tag-based language that is very simple to learn and use, and it is very easy to do complex and scaled work.


It offers HTML5 support after version 11 to facilitate the development of CFML web applications and mobile applications. Thus, a single development can be used on PC, tablet and mobile. CFML runs natively on Apache Tomcat from J2EE or JavaEE application servers. Tomcat comes with advanced features such as enhanced caching and security enhancements. It also allows users to test their website and mobile apps on multiple devices.

Behind the ColdFusion Engine, which converts CFML to java byte code, is the corporate support of Adobe, the 5th largest software manufacturer in the world and the most admired software company. Apache Tomcat runs under ColdFusion Engine. Also, Lucee and OpenBD running on Tomcat are alternative ColdFusion engines.

CFML is unique in that it works in both open and java bytecode mode at the same time. Because Workcube combines the power of Java with the convenience of CF, it has been able to do a lot with a small number of people. ColdFusion is the open and simple world of the people who are separate from the pack.
