Last week three of my colleagues an I drove from Munich to Hannover to visit CeBIT. This was my first time at CeBIT so outside of knowing that its a huge exhibit and the little that I read on their website, I didn't have anything else to go on.

CeBIT is the world's largest trade fair showcasing digital IT and telecommunications solutions for home and work environments. The key target groups are users from industry, the wholesale/retail sector, skilled trades, banks, the services sector, government agencies, science and all users passionate about technology.

CeBIT offers an international platform for comparing notes on current industry trends, networking, and product presentations. Deutsche Messe AG has organized CeBIT in Hannover each spring since 1986.

Saw a tweet recently about Hosting for Railo and thought I would post an entry on this subject in hopes of getting a decent list of Railo Hosting Providers.

After doing a google search and looking at the hosting provider list on getrailo.org I don't see any other hosting providers

Here is what's out there:

• Viviotech (hosting and VPS)
• Alurium (hosting)
• Jassoft
• Hostmedia UK
• HybridChill

I'm honestly quite surprised the list is so small. If you know of any other companies offering Railo hosting or if you are planning on offering Railo hosting please let me know.

I got an email recently asking me about the little tutorial I wrote some time ago on Spry Tabs with Dynamic Content.

I have been trying to improve my website but the problem I have with Spry Tabs and Dynamic Content is that I don't want the tab to reload every time a user goes back to a previous tab but at the same time when the page loads for the first time I want to take advantage of the click on demand option by only loading the defaults tab. Can you think of a solution. My users scroll between tabs and don't want to lose the search results displayed in each tab.

I just wanted to give a quick update about the XML issue I discovered in Adobe Coldfusion a couple of days ago.

According to Adobe the issue has been fixed in ColdFusion 9.0.1 ,Beta 1, Build 271170.

In the mean time I will have to use the xmlSearch() function when working with XML documents that may contain underscores.

Thanks for fixing this issue Adobe, now when is 9.0.1 going to be available?

While working with an XML document the other day I noticed some "interesting" behavior when trying to access a XML Element that started with an underscore. The XML document is valid, parsed correctly and also displayed correctly when dumping the XML Document out.

This issue only showed itself when trying to access the XML Element using dot notation.
