I have set up a template to dynamically evaluate the form fields being posted - it isn't working, however it uses the following basic syntax: cfloop list=#FieldNames# index=i cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames' cfset value = evaluate(i) #i# #value# /cfif /cfloop One of the challenges I find with debugging coldfusion and jquery/ajax interactions is seeing what is going on. To address this, and as a way to debug what is going on with the jquery post, I decided to place the above code in a cfmail tag as follows: cfmail to=myem...@someaddress.com from=myem...@someaddress.com server=localhost subject=Test jquery form post cfloop list=#FieldNames# index=i cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames' cfset value = form[i] #i# #value# /cfif /cfloop /cfmail When I post to this template, I find that this doesn't work either? Huh? Can anyone explain why? The code below does work (I get a message with the fieldnames and values) so jquery is posting... cfmail to=myem...@someaddress.com from=myem...@someaddress.com server=localhost subject=Test jquery form post cfloop collection=#form# item=i cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames' cfset value = form[i] #i# #value# /cfif /cfloop /cfmail Any explanation why the first cfmail example wouldn't work?

RE: Cold Fusion Enterprise or Standard Installed?
I think the 'CED' at the beginning of the serial stands for ColdFusion Enterprise Edition, perhaps not a great idea posting the whole serial though ;-) Anyway, you can prove it by logging into the administration web page and going to the system information page, though I'm not sure if it's called that in CF7, I think it's linked form the top menu as in Cf8 though.

Mark, Since the server.log didn't seem to give me what I was looking for, I started down the road of your idea of replacing the S/N into an existing installation of ColdFusion. Of course, I had no such thing since I am a computer forensics guy, not a developer and I've never used ColdFusion. Regardless, I downladed and installed a trial version of Cold Fusion and replaced the serial number into my own license.properties file. Not sure where to go from here though. I'm sure look at the server settings makes perfect sense to all the ColdFusion developers out there, but I don't really know what that means. By the way, the serial number I extracted is CED700-53365-17253-87902. If it would be really fast for you pop this serial number into one of your ColdFusion installations and see what information you can gather, I would dearly appreciate it. I could probably even arrange for some compensation for your efforts. Let me know if you'd to give it a try. Thanks! Hi Brad, Thanks for that (Thanks to Mark as well).

I am writing an image library and would like to do the following: - load the full size image using CFFILE - resize it - force it to download I know I can force a download with cfheader/cfcontent but can I combine that with cfimage, or will I need to save the file after resizing, and then point to that one?

RE: CFC Best Practices
Interesting, never had a problem with @@IDENTITY though. It seems to me that
unless you're using triggers, it's pretty much impossible for it to return
the wrong value in a query like the example below.
SCOPE_IDENTITY() certainly looks a little safer but I'm not worried about
all my old code.

Just to be clear, @@identity returns the most recent inserted id of
all tables. So if you had a trigger that when a table gets an insert,
another table also gets an insert, @@identity would return the
triggered table ID.
For SQL 2000 +, look at SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() or SELECT
IDENT_CURRENT('tablename').

At the moment, I'm handling this using a CF 404 error handler that queries a mappings table using the SQL Server DIFFERENCE function and if multiple records are returned, I run the records through a levenshtein distance algorithm to find the closest SES url to that which was entered into the browser. It is looking to be very effective but I can't help wondering if there is a better way to handle it...

RE: SES URL handling
Paul, I fully understood what you were asking but quite frankly thought it was massive overkill to be honest. I personally wouldn't do it for a number of reasons, the main one being Google and splitting page rank and/or it thinking you have pages with duplicate content. Still, to accomplish what your trying to do you have what looks like a solid solution, although how about simply showing a 404 but showing a list of possible urls that are like the mistyped url on the 404 handling page? Cheers, Craig. -Original Message- From: Paul Vernon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 April 2007 14:21 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SES URL handling Hi Craig, I totally gave up on using CF managed SES url's a while back, although it might not be 100% useful for you, I'm using a windows mod_rewrite equivalent called Linkfreeze. http://www.helicontech.com/linkfreeze/ It dynamically re-writes all internal links in your source code as it delivers content via IIS, well worth checking out but there are many other tools to do the same thing. I wasn't asking about URL rewriting in the traditional sense, I was asking about how you handle typos in the URLs... Eg http://www.myserver.com/thisiscorrect/ --- this is ok http://www.myserver.com/thisiscorect/ --- this has a typo Personally, I'd want them both to work with the incorrect one being detected and corrected so that rather than serving the 404 handler, it redirects to the relevant content. This example is a naive one as it could be done with URL re-write but I want (and have developed) something more generic that could handle pretty much any old rubbish and have a good guess as what is should point at. I'm just not sure if there is a better way to do it. As for 404 handling, it's just as it would be on any normal site. So far it's a much simpler solution. So in your case, am I to understand that if someone entered the second URL in my example your server would simply serve the 404? If so then again, this is not what I am talking about. For me, the server should have a modicum of intelligence when it is looking at the URLs and be able to provide a closest match to the mistyped URL. This is especially useful when you consider the spelling of certain common words changes between countries that use the same language where maybe z is used instead of s. There are a few exceptions where the words are too far away from each other for this to work for instance, Fawcett and Tap, Wrench and Spanner, Fender and Wing, Hood and Bonnet but in these cases the standard URL rewrite stuff will work just fine It's the fuzzy logic cases I'm wondering about... As I said, my solution to this is in the 404 handler and uses the SQL DIFFERENCE function and a levenshtein distance algorithm to determine which content in the DB is the closest match to that which was typed. The DIFFERENCE function pulls out a subset of the links that are reasonably close matches and the levenshtein algorithm then picks the closest one. It seems to be effective, I was simply asking if anyone knows if there is a better solution? Paul ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

As many of you know from my previous posts we have had a forums application in beta testing for a while. It was developed primarily using SQL Server and MySQL, but wanted to offer support for Access PostgreSQL, but have found Access a pain to support. The problem is with cfqueryparam throws errors with Access because the cfsqltype in many cases is not the same for Access as it is for the other databases. For example: Using a data type: number field size: Long Integer throws an error Database reported: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Optional feature not implemented if the cfsqltype is CF_SQL_INTEGER. If I change the cfsqltype to CF_SQL_NUMERIC it works fine. Another example: A SQL Server, MySQL, ect. field data type varchar(500) with cfqueryparam set as follows: cfqueryparam value=#Comments# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR maxlength=500 works fine in SQL Server, MySQL, ect., but breaks in Access. If I remove the maxlength=500 it works. I know most will agree Access is from the database of choice, so my question is should we support Access considering the challenge, or drop support?

This will store the file as a base64 representation of the file. cffile action=READBINARY file=yourfile variable=blobData cfset blobBase64 = toBase64(blobData) Then just insert blobBase64 to an nText field in your db. To get the file out... cfset blobBinary = toBinary(queryname.blobBase64) cffile action=WRITE file=yourfile output=#blobBinary# addnewline=No nameconflict=OVERWRITE Works for me. -Original Message- From: Discover Antartica [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 January 2005 16:55 To: CF-Talk Subject: Can we use CFFILE for this?

RE: divide and conquer (how to deploy cf, db, ftp, iis, etc over 2 boxes)
Since livestats can be configured to use your MSSQL box, I'd stick those on the same machine from an operational point of view anyway, but this does mean your database box will need to be web accessible so people can view their stats. It usually preferable (for us anyway) that the database box is not accessible from the internet for anythgin but management. Everything else I'd put on the other machine. Personally I wouldn't do any backup SQL replication with only 2 boxes, I wouldn't spread the web site over the 2 machines either. -Original Message- From: Katz, Dov B (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 January 2005 12:22 To: CF-Talk Subject: divide and conquer (how to deploy cf, db, ftp, iis, etc over 2 boxes) Assuming you have the following to run: MSSQL2k, LiveStats, IIS, CFMX6.1 (maybe eventually 7) , IMail (or some other mail server with POP, SMTP and webmail access) FTP services. And you have 2 identical adjacent machines each with: Dual 2.8 Ghz Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, 3x73GB SCSI 10K rpm disks, in RAID (5?) array Win2k server OS The machines each have a dedicated NIC for talking to each other, and then a separate public NIC card Here's what I was thinking: Box 1) CF, Backup MSSQL (via mssql automatic replication), and IIS just for CFM pages at www.domain.com, and backup SMTP Box 2) primary MSSQL, IIS for images/static at img.domain.com , and primary SMTP server Boxes would have shared drive so Box 1 can upload static images to Box2... Box 2 would run a backup instance of CF, and have a copy of the code in case it needs to be activated. Static images which have changed would be copied from Box 2 to Box 1 every X hours.

Offhand, I don't see a way to do this with regex that isn't more complicated than other methods. What you are really asking to do is parse an HTML page and selectivly replace tokens. The easiest way I see to do it -- and this isn't particularly robust -- is to remove the head and the foot from the page, find tables and lists, and split up what's left where the tables and lists where. Then, do your replace. I know that's not the answer you wanted, but it's the answer I got.

Performance is a none issue for us, if the image component gets used 5 to 6 times a day in total across our 100 or so clients, I'd be very suprised. It's acceptably quick anyway.

Why not copy cfx.jar into your development directory e.g. c:\java ?,
your'e comamnd line would then be much shorter
in c:\java, just type javac -classpath cfx.jar MyHelloColdFusion.java
somewhat easier yes? Then just move the compiled class file to wherever

Joe,
It appears as though you the cfx.jar is not in your class path.This
JAR
contains all of the interface classes that the ColdFusion Server uses
to
connect to your Java CFX.
For CFMX this can be located in the lib subdirectory of your server
installation.
For CF 5 you can locate this in the Java subdirectory of your server
installation.

RE: slow Java call - Determining physical length of string - Pt 2
I had a play with this myself, and found that the pixel width retruned
by the funtion is a LONG way out of the actual length of the string
rendered in a browser.
e.g.
cfscript
font_obj = createobject(java,java.awt.Font).init('Arial',1,8);
font_metrics_obj =
createobject(java,java.awt.Toolkit).getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetri
cs(font_obj);
Pixel_Width = font_metrics_obj.stringWidth('the pixel width is miles
out?');
/cfscript
cfoutput
#Pixel_Width#
br
img src="" width=cfoutput#Pixel_Width#/cfoutput height=1
alt= border=0
br
div align=left style=font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;the pixel
width is miles out?/div
/cfoutput
You'll need a test gif of course.
Still, I'm not sure why, maybe java just renders fonts entirely
differently to browsers. I tried several fonts and many font sizes, none
of them are even close.

Subject: slow Java call - Determining physical length of string - Pt 2
Hello again,
Last week, I posted regarding finding the actual length of a text string
(original question below), and, thanks to some helpful people, ended up
with the idea of instansiating the Java FontObject, which we turned into
a function, like this:
cffunction name=StringWidth output=false
cfargument name=String required=true
cfargument name=Face default=Arial
cfargument name=Style default=Plain
cfargument name=Size default=12
cfscript
if (Style EQ Plain OR Style EQ Normal) {
Style = CreateObject(java, java.awt.Font).PLAIN;
} else if (Style EQ Bold) {
Style = CreateObject(java, java.awt.Font).BOLD;
} else if (Style EQ Italic) {
Style = CreateObject(java, java.awt.Font).ITALIC;
}
FontObject = CreateObject(java,java.awt.Font).init(Face, Style,
Size);
FontMetricsObject =
CreateObject(java,java.awt.Toolkit).getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetri
cs(FontObject);
return(FontMetricsObject.stringWidth(String));
/cfscript
/cffunction
Now, the problem - it works really well, but it's painfully slow - we're
sometimes calling this 50 times on a page, and it's causing the page
times to be in the 3-5 second range.Removing the call drops it to a
few hundred milliseconds, so this seems to be the issue.
It's not completely intolerable, and it's much nicer than the 'keep a
table of all the character widths' way of doing things, so we'll stick
with it, but if anyone's got any ideas on a way to speed this up, I'm
all ears!
Thanks,
Dirk

Subject: Determining physical length of text string (not char count)
Hello everyone,
We're trying to figure out if there's a way in CF to figure out the
actual, physical length of a string of text - eg, in pixels, inches,
whatever.
The issue - we need to be able to accept user data for a field, that
will eventually be printed to a PDF.That PDF has strict specs as to
how long a line of text can be.Of course, that'd be simple enough,
if it was printed in a fixed-width font... but it's not, and we don't
have the option of changing it.
So... I need to find a way to detemine how long a string of text will
be, given the font type, style, point size.Anyone have any ideas
how to do this from within CF?(This is under MX, BTW).
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Dirk

RE: Apache and CF

Isn't it pretty? And I can look like I know what I'm doing when I really don't But now, after several years of wrestling with web servers, I'm firmly with the IIS is rubbish crowd, from my own painful personal experience. I've had no end of trouble with IIS over the years, from the constant security holes and exploits making it almost a full-time job just to keep the damn thing reasonably safe, to configuration being dropped and sites disappearing for no apparent reason, to the inability to have any confidence in backups, to the fact that it's totally insecure by default and you have to sit down and work at a vanilla install for several hours before anyone with an ounce of knowledge would dare make it public.. etc etc, you get the idea With Apache, all config is done with text files, which means that it can be easily backed-up, altered and re-applied by an automated release process (e.g. an ANT script) or even by a CF script, or rolled back to a previous version if you've made a mistake - and when it goes wrong (which, in my experience, it virtually never has) you can easily look at it and see EXACTLY what the software itself is seeing, in a human-readable format. After a little practice, it's actually pretty easy to debug. Admittedly, I haven't used IIS for a couple of years, so it may have improved a little... Also, if you develop and test on Apache for Windows, you can very easily deploy a site on a UNIX or Windows platform without having to worry about the web server config side of things. Apache is by far the most commonly-used web server out there ( e.g. http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200405/index.html http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200405/index.htmlreckons it has a 70% market share across 14 million servers ) and yet how many security alerts do you hear about worms / viruses / DDOS attacks targeting vulnerabilities in Apache? Now how many for IIS?

In the end I just gave in a decided to write a java interface for xmlrpc web sevices, expecting it to take a fair while, It ended up taking an hour or less and being very easy. Step 1: Add xmlrpc-1.2-b1.jar from the package downloadable at http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/ to your MX servers classpath Step 2: Use the following code; cfscript XmlRpcClient = createObject(JAVA,org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient); XmlRpcClient.init(http://[service_uri]); params = arrayNew(1); // Leave in even if service requires no params (params can also be a struct?) params[1] = [string_param]; result = XmlRpcClient.execute([servicename].[method], params); /cfscript cfdump var=#result# Works great for me, hope It saves someone else the time I wasted messing about with other methods.

Hi all, We're in the process of developing a new site which is very similar to a previous site we've built, so we copied the webroot and customtags to new folders and renamed the customtags (and references to them within the code). Now we've mapped the dev domain name to the webroot, so we have kn-dev.open.ac.uk and krn-dev.open.ac.uk. We seem to be getting a problem where if we restart the server and visit kn-dev.open.ac.uk/index.cfm and then go to the page krn-dev.open.ac.uk/index.cfm the KRN version picks up the header file from KN, similarly if we go to krn-dev.open.ac.uk/index.cfm first and then kn-dev.open.ac.uk/index.cfm the KN version picks up the KRN version. (We've updated the KRN header file with a different design to KN). We've tried a number of things including; - adding a cfheader no-cache to stop the client caching the page - rebooting the server - clearing the compiled java classes - adding cfcache action="" to each index page However none of these seem to be working. So does anyone have any other suggestions as to what we could try? Unfortunately it's all behind a firewall so you won't be able to view the problem - but this is not an april fool!! ;-) TIA Alex _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: CFC Web services wont work with PHP sites
Returning a query might be your problem, I doubt PHP will be able to understand the returned data type, from memory its a QueryBean , even in java you have to write a complex datatype handler to use them. Granted, I'm no java expert but I've not managed it yet. When returning data from web services to other langauges it pays to keep the returned datatypes as simple as possible, on occasion I've encoded a query into a simple XML packet and returned it as a string, this certainly helped a colleague of mine use my CF web service form C# .net Might be a bit of a pain and not exactly neat, but it works.

RE: Writing Files without CFFILE
I can only assume you were getting 14000 instances of the cfc object,
not sure why. You could try creating one instance and storing it in say,
the Application scope, and use that, might help. But since it's working
now anyway, might be a waste of time.

Yes. On each iteration the savecontent overwrites the previous

That being said, I believe I solved the problem. I should have
mentioned I wasn't calling CFFILE directly in the loop, rather I
had a
method in a CFC called writeStaticFile that accepted two
params -
fileID and content. Once I pulled this logic out of the CFC and
directly into the code all is well. I can run the whole batch
without
any perceptible increase in RAM usage.
Now, why passing it into the CFC would... is question for
another day.
Here's the method, if anyone cares to comment.
cffunction name=writeStaticPage access=public
returntype=boolean
output=false
cfargument name=content required=yes type=string/
cfargument name=fileName required=yes type=string/
cffile action=""

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.Are you saying that
in the
database you've said use now() as the default?If so, then
yes I've
seen this issue too, but never persued it and just ended up
inserting it
as part of the query rather than try to default it in the
database.
I'm using mySQL, I have datetime and date fields in multiple
tables.I
use CreateODBCDateTime, CreateODBCDate and CF Now() as well as
the mySQL
now() function to insert dates/datetime into the database.
however, i didnt know that reserve words mattered in
variables to, i
thought it was just the db field names themselfs, are u sure
bout
that? doesnt seem right to me.
Strictly speaking no it doesn't matter, but it is good
practice.
im using the field as an int because it works with the php
(choke)
date inserts using time()
Hmmm... Dates and times do end up as purely a number when you
get into
the lower levels of the database, which might well be
seconds-from-epoch
as Tom suggests, or a Julian date. Generally speaking though,
you give
the database an appropriately formated date/time to a
date/time field,
it stores it any way it feels like, but returns the data in
date/time
format and allows you to index/search that data as a
date/time.
that example i put up was just the last 1 i tried. i looked
on google
and didnt find an answer but saw some stuff about how it goes
into the
db must be a certain way.
but u'd think it wouldnt be a problem to just set the now()
variable
and insert it but its choking. u'd think it would be a snap
maybe its
just my ghost in the machine again
As Tom says now() returns an ODBC formated Date/time object.
Unfortunately, there are no functions in CF to do what Tom
suggests, but
I'm sure it possible to work it out, if you really need
to.
