This version of the groovy loader helps you interact with the library more closely by having multiple locations for not only groovy scripts/classes, but also java libraries. You can also integrate the entire groovy runtime in your coldbox applications by using a single configuration interceptor called the GroovyStarter interceptor. 3 lines and you are swinging to the groove!!

We are fortunate to have Josh Adams from Adobe as our presenter for
the evening:

President, and current Director of the Atlanta ColdFusion User Group.
Josh will be speaking about what's coming up in both the ColdFusion
and Flex realms, so this promises to be a jam-packed session:
The Adobe ColdFusion team is hitting the road to discuss Centaur, the
next version of ColdFusion, and Bolt -- code name for the highly
anticipated first ColdFusion IDE from Adobe. Learn about exciting new
features and discover how Centaur and Bolt will accelerate your
ColdFusion application development.
Come learn about the newest features in the Flex 4 framework, Flex
Builder 4 and the newest Adobe product -- Flash Catalyst. See product
feature demos, and learn how the new Flex framework powers both Flash
Catalyst and Flex Builder to speed the development and testing of rich
Internet applications and content.
We're going to have plenty of food and drink, as well as some great
giveaways, including Adobe software. This promises to be a fantastic
evening that you won't want to miss!
I think the most enjoyable BOF I attended was git lead by Peter Bell and Simeon Bateman, those guys KNOW THEIR STUFF!! Peter even posted the git pressos that I will be studying for quite a while. I am really starting to consider more an more a move to GIT for the entire ColdBox suite. Simeon had some EXCELLENT day to day cases and great explanations of how GIT differs from SVN. Thanks Simeon and Peter!!
Another important part of CF.Objective where my mocking and testing discussions with Bill Shelton from the MXUnit Team. It was uncanny that we where both developing some kind of mocking frameworks and our ideas where eerily similar. We definitely got our Mock On and discussed so many improvements for the upcoming MXUnit MightyMock and the new ColdBox Addition: MockBox!! I really enjoyed our session Bill and hopefully we can join forces on this one!!
We will be holding a pre-conference training at CF.Objective 2009 for ColdBox.

Finally, a way to interact with java nulls easily. So all you do to create null values is do
if ( isNull( CacheManager.get('key') ) ){
writeoutput("object is not found in cache")
}
What if you need a null value?
cacheMap['luis'] = nullValue()
Two very simple functions, but they sure make life so so so much easier when integrating with java. This to me are my favorite two new functions.
