Re: 8.0.1 webservice compile errors
The refreshWSDL attribute didn't work. I cannot create the webservice in the Administrator, which is weird. I've also tried deleting the stubs and restarting the CF service. --Ben Doom You might try restarting CF or try using cfinvoke with refreshWSDL=true. It sounds like CF has cached the generated WSDL so you need to force it to regenerate that if you've changed anything. This is probably why changing the file names works.

8.0.1 webservice compile errors
We're running a pair of CF 8 Standard Servers. Since installing the 8.0.1
updater, webservices have been giving me a headache.
Each server runs a different site, and they are integrated by web services.
Some of these services return complex values, defined by CFCs with no methods,
only data. Not all services in the CFC return complex data, but all throw
errors when I try to run them.
A test CFC containing a single method that simply returns true can be
sucessfully consumed.
Since installing the 8.0.1 updater (v 8,0,1,195765), none of the services are
consumed correctly. When I call them by URL, they seem to return correct WDDX,
but when I attempt to consume them using CFINVOKE, I get the error quoted at
the end.
We get the same problem on development servers.
Is this a problem with JRE 1.6.0_04? Something wiggy about returning complex
structures? Is there an obvious solution I'm not seeing? Heck, I'll settle
for an obscure answer I'm not seeing.

Re: SOT - SQL Union Problem
I'm not an SQL guru, so take this with a grain of salt: You could do a join on table1.firstname=table2.firstname and table1.firstname = table2.lastname to get all the results that match. You could union this to two unioned selects where there's an entry in table1 but not table2 and vice versa. You'll have to select empty strings for the columns that are only present in one or the other table. This should give you a result set where you either have the addresses from one, or the other, or both. You can make display (or further processing) decisions based on that. --Ben Doom Mark Henderson wrote: OK, so that was working, and those are the only two fields I want to union on, which is fine. But now I also want to add the address fields to the query result, without doing a union on those additional fields. Some addresses aren't entered quite right, and this will then create duplicates even though the query doesn't see them as such - does that make sense? So, for instance, when I do: SELECT FirstName1 AS FirstName, Surname1 AS LastName FROM tblMain WHERE foundation = Yes UNION SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM tblCentennialMembers; I get the result set I want. But if I do SELECT FirstName1 AS FirstName, Surname1 AS LastName. Add1, Add2, City, Country FROM tblMain WHERE foundation = Yes UNION SELECT FirstName, LastName, Address1, Address2, City, Country FROM tblCentennialMembers; It returns almost everything including the duplicates since add1 doesn't always match address1, even though the first and last names match. So, how to get the extra fields into the original result set while only doing a union on first and last names?

Re: How accurate is IP address / Geocode lookup?
From what I understand, it's usually the ISP. However, it is often the last hop before the actual client, so it would only be inaccurate if, say, the person was in TN and the ISP was in KY. That said, at my last job, we were in KY, and we showed up as in (I think) PA, since that was where the router for static IPs was. Alltel was our ISP, IIRC. So it's a good approximation, but I would not rely on it for calculating sales tax. :-) --Doom Jeff Chastain wrote: I have a client that is looking to ascertain the state ( or country if not US based ) of the current visitor to their web site.

Re: Interesting idea for next CF - thoughts...
I disagree that hints are cleaner than comments. Comments are set apart from the logic, display, whatever. They are semantically easy to parse as ignorable by the system, remove systematically, etc. They don't clutter the tags. They're available both in the tag-based language and script-based language. They're a standard feature, in some way or another, of *every* language. Replacing them is, in my opinion, silly, and your suggestion seems like an unnecessary augmentation that would add neither a fundamental improvement in performance, a new ability, or enhanced ease-of-use. Sorry to be so negative, but I just don't see it. --Ben Doom John Skrotzki wrote: As I was doing my stuff today I had an interesting idea and wondered what others thought. In a nutshell it would be cool to be able to have a HINT attribute for every CFML tag for VERY SHORT comments. I know this mixes comments within logic but it would be great for certain things. For example: CFPARAM NAME=myVar DEFAULT=233 HINT=myHint I have an extensive db value key table with all sorts of combinations and use its numeric key to represent its value. So, in the above, 233 would equal some value and the HINT would help the programmer to remember what the key was. Yes, you could just as easily do !--- myHint --- but the above idea is much cleaner.

Re: all possible letter combinations
I'd make some changes to make it easier to read. First, instead of
wordarray[arraylen(wordarray)+1] = ...
I'd use arrayappend().
Second, if you aren't going to use ccArr, sbArr, and rcArr, remove them
from the function. They are just confusing.
If the length of remainingchars is 1, you don't need the mid() function.
You don't need mid() later, either. You can use left and right, which
might be less confusing.
You are returning an array, and trying to insert it into a single array
element. I think you're getting nested arrays. Try dumping the entire
argument scope (including wordarray) before returning on each recursion.

That would get the first part without consideration of the second part.

Re: OT: What type of CF hosting do I need?
I'm not sure why that's not an option. It seems to me that you could create a db table which holds a list of accounts to be processed. Dequeue the first one, process it, and re-enqueue. Set up a single scheduled task for this, and fire it off every so-many (1, 2, 5?) minutes. Just a suggestion. --Ben Doom Che Vilnonis wrote: Thanks Jerry. That's not an option, really. My # of scheduled tasks would increase quite a bit if I took that approach and because of the inconsistencies of the feeds, extra steps are needed to be performed to make certain that all of the data is homogeneuous between the feeds. That said, the tasks are running very well considering what is being done. Basically it comes down to this.

Re: White Space Eliminator
If you are going to use regular expressions to reduce whitespace, I'd
probably use something like
rereplace(text, \s+, , all);
However, I would look carefully at whether this actually speeds up
delivery. Full-fledged regex engines are slow, and there are several
faster replacement engines designed specifically for reducing the size
of web pages. Also, bandwidth is cheap. :-)

It doesn't seem to matter whether the flash object is wrapped in div tags or
not, everything below the movies goes away.
If I could grow a brain real fast, what I'd really like to do is replace the

The class on the css template looks like so:
/* Header */
..gfx {

height: 240px;
But, one way or the other, what I'd really like to do is get the swf to show
along with the other content below it.

Re: Help on regex pattern in refindnocase
Inside a set of brackets, you have a character class. What a character class indicates is one of these or, with the ^ at the beginning, not one of these. Here, your parentheses have no meaning, other than they are not allowed. You also are only matching one, not many, characters. So ).gif will return a hit. You also are using a dot as a ... well, a dot. However, it's a special character that means any one character in a regular expression. You need to escape it: \. You're getting results here, because your one character happens to be a dot, but if your name was z#gif, it would also match. One possible solution might be to find all the .gif references, and then check each one to see if it's blank.gif. Not necessarily elegant, but it would work. --Ben Doom Kris Jones wrote: Not being a big regex wizard, I'm sure I'm missing something basic here.

Re: can't use the result of a regular expression as a variable?
CF evaluates the replace string *before* sending it to the regular
expression engine. Therefore, it's trying to find the struct key named
'\1' which is not legal. There are several ways to get around this, but
they all basically boil down to doing it in two steps.

Re: finding a substring in string, target attribute of an anchor tag
I think your regex thought was probably good. If you don't need to keep any style or class on them, the easiest thing would be to find the whole anchor, grab the url, and replace the whole shebang with the url inserted into a preformatted anchor tag. If you do need to preserve other attributes, I'd do a find for the whole tag, the search that substring for a target attribute, then either replace or add as necessary.

Re: Using reReplace Backreference as StructKey or Argument

Re: Regex Gunslingers
Actually, that's not all that easy. Regex is great for tokenizing, but not parsing. There are ways to determine whether or not you are inside quotes, but in my experience, looping usually gives you the best results -- especially when the text is not precicely what you expect. For example, quotes doubled to escape them, unclosed quotes, etc. --Ben Doom Josh Nathanson wrote: Hey all, Got a regex challenge...I was able to solve it using an REFind and then REReplace, but I'm wondering if anyone can come with a one-shot way to replace without looping.

Re: Reuse regular sub-expression in larger expression
There may be a way, but I've not run across it yet.

Re: Wierd regex problem (isn't it always)
A handful of comments:
Backreferencing a single, static character is silly. It just wastes
memory and processor time. You're throwing it away, anyway.
{1} is useless. It means one of. Which would just be the thing by
itself.
Second, {1,} is more commonly written +. Also, you are saying one or
more backreferenced things instead of one or more backreferenced things.
I'd write it like this:
@([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
Then use the first backreference instead of the second.

Re: Regex search problem
No, you're right about the all. I'm confusing the refind() and rereplace() syntax. But, yes. By using a regex in the condition, you are running it twice per loop. --Ben Doom Bobby Hartsfield wrote: The option is called 'returnsubexpressions' and valid values are true or false. You can only return one instance of a match with refind() (and possibly one instance of a sub expression match if you use parens in the expression). To get more, you have to run the function again with a different starting position (I chose to change the string rather than the starting position). At least that's what the docs say. Do you have a working example of what you are talking about with 'all' because if you can get them all at once... that would be very nice to say the least.

Re: Regex search problem
Really? I thought that is what I was using in 6.1. I'm sure the docs
can set you straight on what syntax is correct.
Regardless, you are running the regex twice per loop, which is at least
twice as often as you need to. Even if you have to run it once per
loop, run it, store it, and check what you stored.

Re: Merging Static PDFs and PDF Forms in CF8
This is off-the-cuff, but... Can you create the sig block in HTML, and append it to a page containing the PDF to sign (in an iframe or something). Then, write the signed HTML to a temporary PDF and merge it with the static document. Not sure if I explained that well, but hopefully you understood. --Ben Doom Jim Bates wrote: Hi All, The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per quarter. The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted data goes back into database. Here is the issue: Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf / cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the fly? cfdocument apparently does not allow PDF data to be included with a cfpdfform, as I have tried outputting PDF variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by cfcontent and various other combinations. (If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a cfdocumentsection of the cfdocument, and add the cfpdfform source=#genericForm# action=populate and be done with it. But, we can't.) cfpdf action=merge with a combination of a static PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with no form data. I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may prohibit what we want to do. If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to say, this is a six month project that must be live in four weeks ;-) Thanks!

Re: How to break down a number into percentages
Without seeing your code, I can say this with a fair degree of certainty: if you're really losing 3%, you are probably doing something wrong (like always truncating, using integers instead of floats, etc.). If you round to the nearest cent, you should be getting totals like $99.97 or $100.02 when you run your functions. Getting something exact is actually a bit difficult, unless the percentages happen to be even divisors of the beginning amount (which, for $100, they probably are, but we'll ignore that since we're using fake numbers). One way banks tackle this is by alternating fraction increases and decreases. For example, the first time they get a fraction of a cent, they go up to the next penny. The second time, they go down. The third time, up again, and so forth. It's not perfect, but it makes the math easy, and you should never be more than a penny off. --Ben Doom Rick Faircloth wrote: Hi, all. I know that sounds simple and, as it's stated, it is. However, what I'm trying to accomplish turns out to be more complicated that I thought.

I've been trying every function I could find including decimal, round, various math equations, to achieve the goal, but it's not working. The data type in myself is decimal, set to 2 places, but invariably, if I take $100 and run it through the breakdown and place the amounts into the accounts, then add the dollar figures places into the accounts, the total comes back $97.00. Not only that, but all dollar amounts ending up in the database are whole dollar amounts with not cents. Anybody have any clues how this should be approached?

Okay. Except Oracle != MySQL 5.

Re: get the value of the drop down and pass it to the cfquery
What do you have the submit button doing? Does it actually submit to the server, or just forward to the next tab? For CF to process information, you have to make a server trip of some kind. If you are making the server trip, but not seeing the information passed, what are you naming your dropdown, and how are you referencing it in the query? --Ben Doom erik tom wrote: I need to be able get the value from the drop down and pass ethis value to cfquery function which located on the second tab of the form.

Re: OT: Limit a MSSQL Server 2000 user.
Set up a SQL Express server for him with nightly (?) replication, when it won't affect performance so much. Let him beat the crap out of that to his heart's content. Bonus points if you put it on his workstation, so he's dragging down his own workstation. --Ben don't mess with my servers Doom DURETTE, STEVEN J (ATTASIAIT) wrote: Hi all, Here is an interesting OT for you. Is there any way to restrict how much bandwidth, how many rows, or how high a priority a user has when connecting to a MSSQL2K server? My issue is that we have a user, who for political reasons we can't just boot out of the db, who we were forced to grant access to our database. He is using Access XP to connect to our database, he then proceeds to download two of our largest tables into his access database. He does this multiple times a day, and each time it takes out Table locks and all of our pages back up and other users can't access the data. I've already limited what tables he has access to and what he can do to them (select only), but I still need a way to put his requests as a low priority on the database.
