Key Benefit
Create self-documenting,
reusable application

applications, Flash
applications, or as web
services.
Rapidly build rich client
applications with the Flash
Remoting service, a fast,
secure way to exchange server
with Macromedia Flash
clients.
Organize your custom tags by
creating application or page-
specific tag libraries.
Secure shared hosting
environments with expanded
access control for tags and
simplified administration of
directory privileges.
Automate Verity management
with enhanced tag access to
collection metadata and Verity
administration features.
Automatically notify system
administrators by email with
the improved system
monitoring feature.
Speed page execution with
automatic caching of compiled

Example
Write a single ColdFusion
component to access product
catalog information from a
database then use it on your
web pages, in rich Flash user
interfaces, or expose it to your
business partners via a web
service – all without changing a
single line of code.
Build an online store
application that enables
customers to drag items from
the catalog into the shopping
cart, and then automatically
recalculates their bill – all
without refreshing the page.
Group custom tags into logical
sets to handle common tasks
like security, user interface, or
display.
Control privileges individually
for users sharing the same
server by securing access to
tags, functions, or even
specific data sources in any
directory.
Use the expanded tags for
accessing Verity information
to build powerful site
management utilities.
Automatically send email to
the server administrator when
a server probe detects a
problem.
Provide a better user
experience by reducing page
response times.
Allow ColdFusion and Java
developers to work side-by-
side on the same project and
easily integrate their work.
