I have been putting off a new build of my
Illudium PU-36 Code Generator for months, but no longer (because a bug fix forced me to). First of all, some thank you's. This release *finally* officially includes the Informix datasource support donated by
Gareth Edwards and PostgreSQL support thanks to
Brian Ghidinelli. Also thanks to Tom Chiverton for finding a relatively minor and silly but important bug.
As many of you know, Adobe released a Hot Fix for ColdFusion that fixed a very important security issue whereby public methods were available as remote. It turns out that this caused me to overlook the admin password method being incorrectly set to access="public". Of course, if you weren't running ColdFusion 8 or you implemented the Hot Fix, Illudium would stop working. Well, its fixed.
You can download the update at the google code site.
On another note, I am looking into opening up the development of the next version of Illudium. I need folks with database expertise (I only have MS SQL and MySQL) and/or Flex. I have a lot of the back-end code ready but there is quite a bit more to do. If you are interested feel free to let me know by emailing or commenting.
Hey, thanks for the mention, my blog address is now

Cheers

Also, I maybe interested in helping with this project, let me know. Maybe creating and exposing an API so that programmers can extend on so they can use Illudium beyond the UI?
Cheers
Gareth.
@Gareth - your link is corrected. Yes, one of the thoughts was to make the API available (though technically it is anyway but to make it more accessible and documented)

The readme says that you can use CFMs as templates for the code generation rather than XSL. Are there any examples of this anywhere? I am not overly familiar with XSL, so if there is already another option, I'd love to use it.
Thanks a lot for making this. It is very cool... worth learning yet another thing (XSL) if necessary!

@Bill - check the templates and there is one called "PrototypeCFM" which is purely an example of doing CFM templates.
