TotalWeb FUSION and ColdFusion
Macromedia® ColdFusion MX 7 is the leading cross-platform Web application server that gives you the fastest way to build and deploy scalable web systems.
Let's begin with what ColdFusion is. ColdFusion is really two things. First off, ColdFusion is an application server that runs on multiple platforms. These platforms include Windows, Linux, Solaris, and HP Unix. Second, ColdFusion is a scripting language that allows for rapid application development.
When a page in a ColdFusion application is requested by a browser, it is automatically pre-processed by the ColdFusion Application Server. Based on the CFML in the page, the Application Server executes the application logic, interacts with other server technologies, and then dynamically generates an HTML page which is returned to the browser.
TotalWeb FUSION uses ColdFusion for a number of reasons - including Shopping Carts, Internet / Intranet / Extranets, eCommerce, Photo Galleries, Live Information (Weather, Stock Quotes, News), Updatable Websites (with no HTML knowledge needed), and much more!
ColdFusion enables you to incorporate live data into dynamically created web pages. For example, with ColdFusion your online store can actually deal with real-time inventory levels, enabling you to notify your customers of any out of stock items.
Benefit from these features:
ColdFusion tags (CFML: ColdFusion Markup Language) that allow ColdFusion functionality are incorporated into normal HTML pages. By using CFML tags, data such as "Product Name" and "Price" can be retrieved from a database so that any pricing changes made to the database are automatically reflected in the web pages. SQL statements are embedded into pages to interact with the database. For instance, the web pages could reduce the number of items in stock when an item is purchased. With standard HTML the actual web page would have to be manually edited to reflect any price changes.

Benefit from these features:
- Rapid Development: Build complex applications quickly and easily.
- Scalable Deployment: Deliver reliable, complex sites and applications with load balancing and fail-over.
- Open Integration: Use the full range of Internet and enterprise technologies.
- Complete Security Control: Access your servers for development and administration and use advanced security features to protect applications during run-time.
- When a user clicks a "Submit" button on a form or a hypertext link on a page, the user's web browser sends an HTTP request to the web server via the Internet or an intranet.
- The web server processes the data submitted by the client and calls up the appropriate .cfm page through a server API.
- ColdFusion reads the data from the client and processes the CFML in the page. Based on CFML, the server interacts with database servers, file systems and mail servers.
- ColdFusion dynamically generates an HTML web page.
- The HTML page is returned to the user's browser.
