This is more of an announcement of the upcoming 1.2.0 features.
Since event handler caching will be instilled into the framework, the
performance is dramatic. It actually, does not make sense to be
creating event handlers for each request. So version 1.2.0 will be the
last version to support uncached handlers. The versions after 1.2.0
will have caching of handlers by default. I see no benefit of
not caching the handlers. And they can easily be recreated by using
fwreinit= url command
So. Since event handler caching actually changes A LOT in event
execution. The methods will receive the request collection object,
instead of the handler being injected with it at creation. What does
this imply? Well, mainly the 'rc' scope will become deprecated. You
can keep it, however, you must var scope it locally.
Example:
var rc = arguments.oRC (or whatever the argument is named, still
pending)
Please keep this in mind.
There will also be some changes due to your suggestions, to have a way
to distinguish framework methods from local ones. Most likely, the
oRC object will also hold some extra methods to invoke some external
commands. This is still in the definition process. I guess an example
would be on how to run an event from within an event. Example code:
oRC.getEventManager().runEvent("event", oRC);
I will then run the event and pass in the oRC as you see above.
Please give me your input on these upcoming features. The event
handler caching is a totally different execution process and some
previous version code will have to be altered, but it is for the
common good. You will see the execution differences. You will never
think you are running your application in a framework.
Please give me your input.

Why BoxLang When You Have Kotlin, Groovy, Scala, and more…
As we approach a stable release of BoxLang and our continued marketing reaches more folks, many have asked about its purpose. Why create a new language when the JVM ecosystem already includes established languages like Kotlin, Groovy, and Scala, to name a few.

Hi Luis, Does this will work under load balance. If this only session based then websites running on two physical webserver might have problem. just curious to know that each utitlityof ColdBox will not have problem in clustering environment. Thanks

Session is no longer in use Sana. Just application scope. So, this is cluster safe. More changes are coming, stay tuned.

Hi Luis, thats great news, just curious to know what about message plugin, does it will use application scope or not. because i think application scope is the way for clustering environment for these kind of features. Thanks Sana

Sana, The messagebox will now have a choice of storage, either session or client. This is framework-wide. Or can be changed via the plugin API. This gives the programmer the option of storage for the messages.
