Once you have installed the SVN task to Eclipse, you can begin to look at the possibilities. For example in a deployment scenario you could use ANT to export the HEAD revision so you have a clean set of files ready for moving by FTP or some other means. There certainly isnt any VooDoo here, […]
On my road of exploration for ANT, and the end goal of using it for deployment, I have had to tackle how to get files out of SVN ready for moving to a server. This means getting ANT to run the equivalent of an svn export from the command line. This is possible using the […]
I have recently taken the plunge into ANT for use in deployment and doing some mundane tasks, and since I use Eclipse I have been playing with the integrated version that comes bundled. There were a few things that are not very well documented (or I could not find) that took me a while to […]

The URL’s that Amazon returns for you through ECS can be altered to include your Amazon associates tag in the URL without you having to butcher and manually alter the URL. How? Simply add it to the request URL you use. Now all links and URL’s will be nicely formatted for you. Why do these […]

I was just running the ajax examples from Ben Forta for ColdFusion 8 and I noticed that I could add ?cfdebug to the end of the URL in order to see the inline AJAX debug screen. The ColdFusion team over at Adobe have built it in to help our now Web 2.0 ajax’ed coding lives. […]
When using cfform don’t leave the action tag blank. This simple omission could you open to XSS/CSS Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities. Why would you do this?
