On a Good Class
I’m writing an image gallery script in Cold Fusion. It works for any directory with thumbnail files. This is great. This morning, I wasn’t able to determine the height and width of the images for the img tag using standard Cold Fusion. Since the only alternative I could find on the web was to install a custom tag, I decided to use Cold Fusion’s hooks to Java to implement this using CFScript instead. I was having some issues getting the class path set for this to work on the web site, but it would have been no big deal, just ask the Cold Fusion server to look in the current directory for classes. This change to the server would have been generally useful for everyone. At this point I’m told, “Oh, we have a custom tag installed to do that for a different site.”
Damn it all.
