Man seriously. I loved LOVED coldbox. Saw some posts about FW/1, wrote some samples, and I am freaking hooked.

Just so you are aware, some old version of Coldbox (pre 2.6.4) had compatibility issues with CF 9, mainly because of the way that CF9 brought in the Local scope. > Next thing the boss wants to do is move all our Dev, Test and QA > environments to virtual machines. I generally agree with this *BUT* one huge caveat that bit me in the ass is that virtual machines are almost always single processor, not hyperthreaded. Why does that matter? I had an app that turned out to have an unscoped variable in a method of a singleton and so was not thread safe. This never came up in any of our testing because we were testing on VMs and the lack of multiple cores prevented the race condition from presenting itself. Consequently, we only found this condition in production on our quad-core server. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult to trace the problem down, but then we had to find a physical box we could appropriate, wipe it, do a whole install/setup, recreate the condition and then show that the fix really did fix it. We'll still do our QA on virtual machines, but I'm demanding that we have a physical box to do load testing on before we put new apps into production to catch issues like that.
