10 years a go I worked on a site for a local company. This month I officially am off that project. With that the server that the site was hosted on and this one as well will be going away.

With that I opted to move to Amazon Web Services EC2 server to host my blog and a couple of the other sites that I work on.

I am currently working on writing up the procedures I used to get every thing up and running on AWS. I am sure there are a few write ups on how to set up Apache + Railo + MySql on AWS but I hope to come from a plain ubuntu install to everything working together.

I also plan to being to post more with most of it being on the Jquery/Railo ORM side of things as I being working on a new project.

Been on Facebook, Twitter or any number of sites that loads data as you scroll? I would bet that most of you have. lets show you how to set up your site to load data inline while the user scrolls down the page.

The first steps is to get the initial set of data and a record count for the entire dataset that is going to be loaded up. This is pretty much standard Coldfusion nothing fancy.

view plain print about
1<cfset numRecords = ormExecuteQuery("select count(*) as total from entries")>
2 <invalidTag>
3    //Will discuss the script section below.
4 </script>
5 <cfoutput>
6    <cfset entries = entityload("entries",{},{maxResults=10,offset=0})>
7        <div id="entries">
8            <cfloop array="#entries#" index="e">
9            <div class="entry">
10                <h3 class="title"><a href="#e.getUrl()#">#e.getTitle()#</a></h3>
11                <div class="content">#e.getContent()#</div>
12            </div>
13            </cfloop>
14        </div>
15 </cfoutput>
