2. Why ColdFusion is incorporating JAVA Servlets

3. Overview Overview of generic problem Detailed View of ColdFusion Applications of ColdFusion on Co-Op Future developments analysis

4. Architecture Design for WebApps (3 Tier Arch.) 1 2 3 4 Web Servers Databases Clients

5. What people want when developing a web app Browser Independence Ease of programming Scalability in application functionality Rapid development of application time One consistent look and feel of programming structures

6. How it Works

7. What is ColdFusion? ColdFusion is a complete Web application development platform—a programming language, an application server, a development environment, and a framework for delivering enterprise services. But it is also a straightforward technology for adding basic Web database functionality to your Web site.

8. Code Example

9. Reasons why it is commercially accepted Simplicity - easy to learn Power – over 70 tags available in language Community – large open source community of developers Software Maturity – was originally created in the late 80’s

10. Interaction Diagram Weather Database JEES WxFX Interactions between Server andTDAs Interactions using Server Side Scripting CGIs, ASP, Java Servlets, Cold Fusion Interactions between Server and database Application Server (UNIX) Weather Server (TWS) Weather Web Products Weather Data Weather Datacube Ethernet Interconnect

11. Introduction of JWIS Concept of Operations (CONOPS) JWIS will automate weather support to the mission planning and execution process through an interactive, dynamic web- based interface that supports operational and tactical level planning/decision making, mission rehearsal and training. JWIS will take the first steps towards automatically integrating weather forecast and impact databases into AF mission planning systems.

13. Results

14. Deficiencies of ColdFusion Macromedia is the only vendor that dictates ColdFusion code structures Rapidly losing market share to Java Server Pages Much smaller toolkit than JAVA –Not as many options available

15. Other Technologies Available Active Server Pages (ASP’s) PHP Perl Java Server Pages (JSP’s)

16. Macromedia’s Solution ColdFusion Version 5.0 will incorporate a JAVA taglet library Will incorporate two different scripting languages and application frameworks that run in the same environment

17. Reasoning Behind Solution Merges two popular design paradigms Provides a niche for Macromedia to be involved in the emerging adoptability JAVA

18. What Servlets Have to Offer JAVA equivalent to Active Server Pages Platform Independent Easy for any JAVA class to be instantiated into JSP code Can include any future JAVA capabilities

19. ColdFusion 5.0 JAVA developers can now change classes without having to restart ColdFusion each time Incorporation of JAVA specific tags Incorporation of JRun’s JAVA server into ColdFusion

20. Impact of Decision Easier for programmers to develop applications Allows for different levels of ability to develop applications Eliminates need for a ColdFusion server and a separate Java server to run 1 web site on IIS
