Adobe ColdFusion 8 software solves the day-to-day challenges of Internet application development, allowing you to be extremely productive as you create and deliver engaging online applications.

And because it fits into any IT environment, you can use ColdFusion 8 for everything from small departmental applications to highly scalable, reliable implementations of your most important business applications.

Standard Edition
Used for delivering a single website or application on a single server, ColdFusion 8 Standard provides powerful development capabilities in an easy-to-manage configuration that is ideal for small to medium-size businesses.

Features and benefits:
Some key capabilities of ColdFusion include:

Easy and productive
ColdFusion is simpler to use and requires less code than alternative solutions.

Integrated
ColdFusion runs natively on J2EE application servers and can easily extend or integrate with Java, .NET, Microsoft Exchange Server, web services, and more. It's your bridge between the Internet and nearly all enterprise data and infrastructure services.

Feature rich
Out of the box, ColdFusion offers unique features, not included with other technologies, to help you build better Internet applications. You can use PDF documents and forms, create rich Internet applications with Adobe Flexor Ajax, create structured reports for the web or other office document formats, implement full text searching, and more.

New in ColdFusion 8:

Server Monitor
See exactly what's happening in your application to help identify bottlenecks and tune the server for better performance. ColdFusion 8 also features a Multiserver Monitor to gain insight on all servers in a cluster.

PDF features
ColdFusion 8 applications can dynamically generate and interact with PDF documents and forms for a printable, portable way to intelligently capture and share information.

Ajax features
ColdFusion 8 can easily provide data to existing Ajax applications and frameworks. You can use simple tags to access a large library of prebuilt Ajax user interface components such as rich text editors, data grids, tree controls, tab navigators, and more.

.NET integration
With ColdFusion 8, you can specify any .NET object — either local or remote — and use it in your ColdFusion application, just like any Javaor other object resource.

Microsoft Exchange Server integration
Programmatically interact with a Microsoft Exchange server to perform common tasks such as reading, creating, and modifying calendar events, contacts, tasks, and e-mail.

Interactive debugger
ColdFusion 8 introduces an Eclipseplug-in debugger. Use it to set breakpoints, watch variables, and step through code, making it easier to debug all your application code.
