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 ).
