Sorry, I am not familiar with the framework you mentioned above. Is it a commercial software? Can you provide relevant introduction materials?

hi @steverao , ColdFusion is a server with a CFML / CFSCRIPT language built on top of Java / JSP ( I believe? ) ColdFusion is owned by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/au/products/coldfusion-family.html how ever there is also an opensource alternative https://www.lucee.org/

I made an attempt at implementing something in glowroot glowroot/glowroot#1056 but I have limited experience in this space, happy to continue this conversation and provide assistance if it might result in some level of support.

Thank you for your response! This is relevant open source repo and document of Lucee:

What's your comment about it? @laurit

[ghedwards]

@steverao I believe the internal architecture of Lucee is likely to be a bit different to Adobe's ColdFusion product, but the principles are similar ( I believe ? ) and the languages are fairly compatible with each other.

Any tips on getting started ?

[laurit]

I'd start by figuring out how to attach the agent and verifying that the agent works at all. https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/installing/installing-the-server-configuration.html indicates that it might be using tomcat, if that is so then perhaps our tomcat and servlet instrumentations will already work and produce a SERVER span. If it so then you'll need to consider what else you wish to do? Perhaps set a better http.route?
