Moving to ColdFusion 8 and Websphere
ColdFusion 8
The company I work for is about to move to ColdFusion 8 running on top
of Websphere 6.1 running on AIX, we will also be using IHS 6. This will
be a huge leap for us as currently we are currently runinng ColdFusion
5, yes ColdFusion 5 on Widows 2000 and IIS 5. I have the unenviable
task to lead this adventure. Our first challenges will be one, get all
of our developers familiar with the concept of a context root, and two,
get them to make sure they start making sure they are aware of casing.
Windows and ColdFuison have allowed us not to worry about casing. While
we will still somewhat have this luxury with ColdFusion, we will no
longer be able to refer to a file named Foo.cfm as foo.cfm.
Right now we are lower casing all of our file and folder names, and then running a Perl script to lower case any references to those files. We have also begun testing the applications we've lower cased out on our sandbox, so far we've run into very few issues, which I'm quite surprised about, what with all the changes we are making.
Does anyone know of anything else we may run into while making all these changes?
