- Railo Tip of the Week: Installing SSL Certificates
As of Railo 3.3.2.001 you can install external SSL certificates of sites you want to access using CFHTTP and CreateObject(“webservice”).
This is done by simply going to the Railo Server Administrator on your server, looking on the left menu for “SSL Certificates” and putting in the site you want to add the certificate you want to use (for example somesite.com) and installing that certificate.
This means you can now do something like the following:
rs = CreateObject("webservice", "https://localhost/RemoteService.cfc?wsdl") dump(rs.getTime());This will now use the certificate you installed to communicate with that server.

- Railo Tip of the Week: Railo Resources
Since Railo 2.0, it is possible to use all different kinds of virtual file systems with all different kind of file related tags. Railo supports the following virtual file systems:
- file (file:// or c:\ or /var/…)
- ram (ram://)
Note that you can store the location for the RAM resource to any external cache or NoSQL key value store) - ftp (ftp://username:password@ftpserver/)
- db (db://datasourcename:/)
- http (http://fileLocation)
- ZIP (zip://pathToFile!directory/file)
- TAR (tar://pathToFile!directory/file)
- TGZ (tgz://pathToFile!directory/file)
- S3 (s3://secret:access@amazonaws.com/bucket)
When you want to use a given resource you can easily do it by using the following notation:
<cffile action="read" file="db://datasource/temp.txt" variable="susi"> <cfdirectory action="read" directory="ram://" name="susi"> <cfif fileExists("ftp://username:password@ftpServer/index.cfm")>...</cfif>In addition you can easily define any resource as a mapping pointing to that resource. So you then can use these mappings inside your code.
