Ortus Webinar for August - cbValidation: Validate all things! with Javier Quintero

Aug 25, 2021 11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)
Learn alongside Javier Quintero, how to validate all things! Validations are fundamental when building APIs and web apps. Most of the time we skip validations and we open the door for bugs and issues in the app. Luckily, ColdBox has made this process simpler so we can prevent these issues from happening. With the cbValidation module, you can validate all incoming request data or populated objects. You can use the existing validators or create your own custom validators so you can validate everything the way you want.

Lucee Release 5.3.8.201

The Lucee team is proud to announce the second Stable Release of 5.3.8, available for download (including both Linux and Windows installers) https://download.lucee.org or via the Lucee Admin.
This is a maintenance release addressing regressions since the 5.3.7 release
Java and Tomcat versions are the same as the 5.3.8.189 release

CommandBox-CfConfig 1.6.0 Released

Here’s an overview of the new features.  This release should all be completely backwards compatible, but we’ve added a bunch of new behaviors so please report any issues you may have.  This release was all about relieving the pain of Lucee developers dealing with the duality of their server and web context.  Some config has to go in the server admin and some config has to go in the web admin.  CFConfig previously would only automatically import config into the server context which left you with a manual task to get your web config imported.
