Today I'm quite satisfied of what I did. Because I can run and deploy Coldfusion Application in Google App Engine with OpenBlueDragon. It's cool that we don't need to buy Coldfusion Server if we want to host our Coldfusion project. It's 100% FOC just like PHP. Unfortunately, 10% of Coldfusion function and tags are not supported in OpenBlueDragon. I've developed RSS Feed reader project and hosted it in Google App Engine

1<cfset source = "http://www.ppshein.net/rss.cfm" />
2<cfhttp url="#source#" />
3<cfset myBlogXMLDoc = xmlParse(cfhttp.filecontent) />
4<cfset BlogNodes = xmlSearch(myBlogXMLDoc,'/rss/channel/item') />

Above coding stands for fetching data from my blog. In Adobe Coldfusion, to read data from RSS, we can use but in OpenBlueDragon, supports only for Create action. That's why I used with .

12    <div id="link"><a href="#BlogXML.item.link.xmlText#" target="_blank">Read More</a></div>

14</cfoutput>

Above coding stands for displaying Blog entities from my blog. You can see example here. It's not my wordpress blog. It's just clone.
