Sometimes receiving an error is an indication, that something isn't in the stat you expect it to be. So we have introduced the new tag CFTRY. It comes with a set of jump statements which will be introduced in Railo 4.1 and which we will be blogging about soon. So let's start with CFTRY.

With the upcoming release of Railo Server 3.3 RC, Railo Technologies is now proudly opening up the Railo Extension Store! The Extension Store is the central marketplace for Railo Extensions, where visitors can browse through and install the available extensions, and developers can upload and manage their own extensions. The store will make sure that your extensions get enough exposure, since all Store extensions are shown in each and every Railo Administrator around the globe!

Before we begin the last part of the cache blog, let's do a little review.

In the first part, I have shown how the cache is used as an object cache, how to create a cache and interact with it but not more.

In the first part of the cache blog entry we looked at how we can use the cache directly without entering into great detail. Now let's have a look at what the cache is at capable of. Because it provides much more than just storing data.
