An extension that we released a little while back and have been getting feedback on is the Memory Monitor Extension.

Once installed, this extension adds a new section in the Railo Server Administrator that allows you to inspect the memory of your SERVER, APPLICATION and SESSION scopes

For one of our clients we often need to process data in Railo returned by a query and reorganize them in a Pivot-Table like fashion. Normally what you have to do is to group queries by recurring values and sum them up depending on the values in the fields.

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!

Railo Team has a mantra that if functionality moves to the "core" language of CFML, then what was once a paid plugin / extension would then become free. With that, this is the announcement that the Railo Amazon S3 plugin is currently available as a free extension now and it will be part of the core in one of the next patch bleeding edge releases.

Update: Gert just linked on twitter an old tutorial on how to use the Amazon S3 plugin in Railo.

Another fine example of extending your Railo server by Andrea Campolonghi. Working on large ajax projects it is not uncommon to see pages that include a lot of javascript and css files. We're often times mixing and matching javascript plugins which sometimes has css stylings that go along with the plugins. We have worked to a solution that can help developers and let the server do the job of compressing and concatenating files. Let's imagine that your app need the following js files:

It is long overdue, but a tutorial on how to create your own Railo extension provider is now available on the wiki. Why would you ever want to build your own extension provider? Perhaps you are a framework developer and you want to provide your users running Railo a 'one-click' installation / update. Perhaps you are managing several Railo servers and you want your internal servers to update to your the latest application / custom cfc / built-in-tags/functions, etc.

If you're unfamiliar with what Railo extensions are, they're essentially plug-ins that are available via the Railo team or with the help of the tutorial, you can create your own. If you want to see Railo extensions in action, you can log into your own web context ( http://{YOUR SERVER}/railo-context/admin/web.cfm?action=extension.applications ) and Railo will instantly download and install the many available frameworks (ColdBox, Fusebox, Model Glue, ColdSpring, Mach II, cfwheels, etc.) and applications ( Farcry, Mura, Galleon, Mangoblog, etc).

The Railo team also offers paid extensions (Amazon S3, cluster scope, admin sync, cfvideo and more) via the server context ( http://{YOUR SERVER}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm?action=extension.applications ).

Gert just tweeted about the "Ram Resource Info" being available on the preview site ( http://preview.getrailo.org/ExtensionProvider.cfc ). I thought I'd take a moment to show you how to install and use it.
