The onTap Framework
Powerful SOA for ColdFusion

Contact Us

The onTap framework is growing! There are more downloads every day and we're working through our growing pains effectively one day at a time and intend this to be a thriving, vibrant open-source community in the coming year.

If you're interested in being part of the active development of the community and the framework, whether you want a major role or just a cameo, please get in touch. We're happy to assist. :)

Ike (S. Isaac Dealey)

Hi. I'm the author of the onTap framework, DataFaucet ORM and CacheBox as well as an Adobe Community Expert and former Team Macromedia member. Like a lot of you I started working with ColdFusion on the job for a telecom company in 1998. In 2008 I received a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and after learning of the extreme employment challenges faced by people with autism, I decided to do something about it. You can read more about the AutLabs project to create jobs for people with autism and Asperger Syndrome in my article Picking Our Teams. Being autistic means that I may rub people the wrong way from time to time. I may even seem egotistical. Don't let that fool you, I really am a nice guy. :) You can also follow me on Twitter.

And for those who occasionally ask, yes Dealey Plaza was named after a member of my family. My great-great grandfather George Bannerman Dealey.
