Using cfregistry in ColdFusion MX
The
cfregistry
on UNIX to avoid compatibility problems when migrating to a later version of ColdFusion MX.
As an alternative, you can store variables in the following scopes:
•
Client
•
Text file
•
Encoded text file
•
Database
•
LDAP server
In Windows, you can continue to store client variables in the registry as in ColdFusion 5.
However, you should not use
the mail root and information about Verity collections and scheduled tasks, because much of this
information is no longer stored in the registry, or it is in a different location in the registry. The
ColdFusion settings that are stored in the registry are subject to change. Therefore, you should
not rely on registry keys that ColdFusion creates to store its system settings.
Using ListSort in ColdFusion MX
When sorting with
return the results in a different order. However, both are correct because in a
"apple" is equal to "APPLE".
In ColdFusion MX, a descending

The following code produces different results in ColdFusion MX than in ColdFusion 5:
<cfset list = "orange,Orange,apple">
<cfset listAsc = ListSort(#list#, "textnocase", "asc")>
<cfset listDesc = ListSort(l#list#, "textnocase", "desc")>
<cfdump var = #listAsc#>
<cfdump var = #listDesc#>
This code produces the following results for ascending and descending sort operations in
ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion MX:
Sort order

Descending (
