The book is organized into four independent parts--scalability, security, extending ColdFusion, and advanced application development. Scalability covers the various ways to keep track of your server performance, scale up configurations, and keep track of clients. This first part also covers Cluster Cats--a load-balancing solution bundled with the Enterprise version of ColdFusion 4.

In the security section, the author discusses the User Authentication Framework and security sandboxes and explains how to integrate ColdFusion security with your network operating system. The third part focuses on how to modify and extend the ColdFusion environment to truly make the most of it. It begins with an extensive discussion on custom tags and CFX tags and then covers integration with Delphi, CORBA, Visual Tool Markup Language (VTML), and customization of the development environment.

The final part is a rapid-fire discussion of many key areas: Web Dynamic Data Exchange, code sharing with Visual Basic and Perl, scripting, intelligent agents, and interactions with the System Registry. The book wraps up with useful appendices that provide references for tags, functions, VTML, the Wizard Markup Language (WIZML), and the DTD file format. A companion CD-ROM provides a trial version of ColdFusion to make this definitive work complete. --Stephen W. Plain

Book Description
Much of this book will be a discussion of technologies and ideas, with examples to demonstrate specific techniques. The book will also contain case studies to illustrate real-world examples of specific topics. CF4 is a massive upgrade, and it adds lots of new features, all of which are advanced. Basic CF does not change much, but things such as the support for server clusters, security frameworks, etc., are complicated subjects, and will be discussed in detail in this book. This book will address these issues and technologies, including: Using clustering and failover technologies to ensure server uptime; Server monitor and benchmarking; Creating secure applications, and integrating with existing security systems; Extending Cold Fusion using COM/DCOM, CORBA, JavaBeans, and the Cold Fusion C and Delphi APIs; Customizing and modifying the client environment; ISP Cold Fusion hosting issues; and Working with XML.
