ColdFusion, Transfer
Over the years it seems that threads on two topics appear over and over again on various mailing lists and forums: code generation and object validation. Paul Marcotte recently released his Metro project which provides an answer to both of these topics. Metro takes advantage of features in Transfer and ColdSpring that are leveraged to help the developer get an application up and running in short order.
In this post, I want to focus on the second topic I mentioned earlier, that being object validation, so let's get to it.

It figures that a couple hours after I release cfUniForm v3.0 that jQuery would announce their 1.3.2 release. As a result, I have released cfUniForm v3.1, which now includes jQuery 1.3.2.
As always, be sure to check out the demos and download the latest.
Thanks to the combination of the holidays and a huge workload, it has been a few months since the last significant update to cfUniForm. During this time there have been updates to the Uni-Form markup/CSS as well as to jQuery and several of the integrated plugins. I finally decided to sit down and take the time to update cfUniForm to include all of these various updates.

A HUGE "Thank You!" to Michael Sammut for submitting demo code for using custom validations with cfUniForm. In his demo, Michael shows how easy it is to use some of the special rules options for jQuery's validation plugin with your cfUniForm-powered forms.
There seems to be a slight bit of confusion about the integration between cfUniForm and Bob Silverberg's ValidateThis! framework. Hopefully I can help clear that up with this post.

ColdBox, ColdFusion
The other day Jason Durham posed a question to me:
How can I go about using multi-word actions, using hyphens as separators, in my ColdBox handlers?
After my initial "Why on earth would you want to do that?" response, Jason pointed out the SEO benefits of doing so, which makes perfect sense. (That's when I thought to myself, "Hmmm, why didn't I think of that?")

This post is actually a response to a post by Ray Camden. I planned to add a comment to Ray's blog, but I felt it was too long to be considered merely a comment. Here's a snippet from Ray's post that I am specifically responding to:

Code reuse is something that I am very passionate about, and I go out of my way to think through the various intricacies of my applications looking for ways to make my code more reusable. Some might even say that I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive about it. :D
Today I want to brag on Transfer, and show a couple of awesome features that Mark Mandel has built into Transfer that allow OC guys like me to have our cake and eat it too.

As some of you may have read, I was really pissed off the other day. Today, however, I must admit that I'm pretty damn happy.
