Can we have more than Data Source within CFTransaction?

No.Datasource Names For All The Database Tags Within CFTRANSACTION Must Be The Same.
The workaround for the problem of CFTRANSACTION with different data source,
Use same datasource in CFQUERY
but inside the cfquery prefix the table with desired database in the query.
<CFTRANSACTION>
<cfquery datasource=same>
SELECT * FROM TableName
</cfquery>
<cfquery datasource=same>
SELECT * FROM other.dbo.TableName
</cfquery>
</CFTRANSACTION>

outputFile = "C:Tempoutput.txt"
timeout = "1">
</cfexecute>

Where we can place the custom tag?

Custom tags can be stored in any of the following locations. ColdFusion will search for them in the order listed.
In the same directory as the calling page - while this is easy for demonstration purposes, it's not very practical, as it means that the custom tag is only available within that directory.
In a directory (or subdirectory of a directory) specified in ColdFusion Administrator under Extensions -> Custom Tag Paths.
In the cfusion/CustomTags directory or one of its subdirectories.

Describe about string encryption?

CFML language provides a 32 bit encryption which is symmetric key based. This function is called as Encrypt. Cold fusion at present uses 32 bit encryption but if your application requires 1024 bit encryption you can happily use that function because cold fusion integrates with third party libraries. Cold fusion also uses Hash function which is very important in safeguarding passwords. They use MD5 and XOR based algorithm.

Is there any facility which prevents viewing of source code?

ColdFusion has a utility called cfencode which blocks viewing of the source code on coldfusion pages which has an application.

Describe about the level of security a firm can have while running adobe cold fusion?

Cold fusion 8 has enhanced security features, it provides multiple adobe cold fusion installations on the server which necessarily removes the threat of accidental deletion, intrusion, addition, etc because the remote lies with multiple administrators and they can set permissions and access. Data sources, Cold fusion components and custom tags can be differentiated on their work accordingly.

Describe about Clustering

In previous installations of Adobe cold fusion multiple servers were required to run the application but adobe cold fusion 8 mitigated the problem by clustering Coldfusion into multiple physical installations which take over the load if any application fails during its course of time. This also allows in easy maintenance and possible reduction in maintaining multiple servers. This was made possible by J2EE server.

What are the benefits of multiple server instances?

The benefits of multiple server instances are, a single server is enough to deploy a host of applications which makes it highly applicable this was not the case when MX7 was present. Applications running on a server need not be stopped for maintenance as the work and load is shared upon multiple servers. Security, optimized applications and clustering are some of the main benefits of Adobe cold fusion multiple server instances.

Can we modify ColdFusion server code and what are the two open source CFML parsing engines?

Server code of ColdFusion cannot be viewed or modified. The language of ColdFusion itself is documented and subjected to rights laid down by adobe. The two open source engines which are parsing ColdFusion’s markup languages are Blue dragon and Smith project. Blue dragon is a J2EE version.

Is it possible to write cold fusion in cold fusion?

No it is not possible to write ColdFusion in ColdFusion. Actually ColdFusion was written in Java and to write programs we need to implement other kinds of programs such as Java, .NET etc. These programs are required because ColdFusion alone cannot survive.
