ColdFusion 8: Hotfix for CFC Serialization released

Filed Under ColdFusion | 3 Comments


CFC serialization is a feature that came out in ColdFusion 8. With this feature it is now possible to serialize a cfc, i.e. it is possible to write an instance of a cfc to an outputstream. In simple words, it is possible to write cfc instances to a file and read them back. CFCs stored in the session now get replicated across the servers in the cluster as well because of CFC Serialization.

But there were issues with what came out in ColdFusion 8. If the CFC had an array or a query or a data object or a java object, CFC serialization used to fail. The issue is now fixed!

Here’s the technote for the fix : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/496/cpsid_49620.html

I can now take a deep breath and relax for a while because there were a lot of people on my blog waiting for this fix. Here’s the hotfix.

    Hey,

    is this hotfix included in CF9? I’m asking because I do get ClassNotFoundExceptions when I try to deserialize a Query…

    Dirk.

    This is fixed in ColdFusion 9. Am surprised you are facing this issue. I suggest you log a bug for this right now using the ColdFusion bug tracker.
