2 new contracts for the new year

Now that the holidays are over we need to get back to work.....

I have 2 contracts under the belt to start off this new year. Unfortunately one will have to be done without ColdFusion or Flex...

First, we will deploy CMaker5 at a new customer. This ColdFusion and AIR based application will need to be customized a bit to match our customer's business model. I am not too concerned as both CF and AIR are very flexible technologies that are easy to work with.

The other contract is to develop a middle-ware piece that will sit between 2 external processes and will be responsible to efficiently and securely route data between the 2 entities. It will need to store transaction information (not data) in a database and provide various metrics to system management. As much as I'd like to this project will not be ColdFusion based. The customer is big on open source and have many other components built around J2EE running under Glasshfish. Time to brush off these Java skills !!

Unfortunately the ColdFusion and Flex market is a bit small here in Montreal. As much as I like working with these tools the opportunities are scarce. I just hope that a ColdFusion/Flex opportunity will pop out just in time for the next round of contracts.

Happy new year to all of you !!!

Yves

Could you not bend them towards Railo or OpenBD if they're specifying OS?

I think that the application will simply listen on a port for a message (type of message, port, etc TBD) and relay that message to another application and confirm to the sender that the message was routed properly. I might even think that CF, Railo, etc might be overkill for that type of work... but raw J2EE will require some extensive development work..... Any ideas ?

Overkill - Not at all, sounds perfect for CF IMHO. If you're running on J2EE then you've got your server to deploy Railo and that would cover your OS requirements as well ;-). I'm sure your client would be happy to know as well that you can write things a lot faster with CFML than Java so your cost cutting is there.

We did a similar project last year which involved a system that takes data out of a DB, convert the structure and imports into another DB. We had a web interface for that but from what you're saying Web Services might be a better option here. Again CF would help you out big time with doing that.
