cfencrypt alternative that also works in visual basic 6 and visual basic .NET
I have been working on an encrypt/decrypt alternative that works in(code) both ColdFusion, Visual Basic .NET, and Visual Basic 6. This makes encrypted values available to applications outside of ColdFusion.For example, lets say that you have a ColdFusion application and have stored the user's password in the database with UrlEncodedFormat(encrypt(UserPassword,DatabaseKey)) ..but later, you want to have a chat server application to be able to compare encrypted versions of the password.Currently, you can't do that with the encrypt function because its functionality cannot be simulated(except..possibly in JAVA using the mimic object). Other solutions make use of third party COM objects that are another point of pain/failure for some developers. This solution makes it possible to write multiple applications in different languages and have access to encrypted values. See Macromedia ColdFusion Forums thread # 647580 Full Link: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm? catid=7threadid=647580 Be sure to copy and paste the full link as it looks as if it will be split between two lines.

COM Object With Return Variables. How do I get the return variables out of the object?
I'm dealing with COM objects more and more lately.. Here's my problem..The Com object(objOnHand) has a method with parameters that point to variables which we would later be able to use in Visual Basic.. VB Code Snippet --- objOnHand.AuthorizeEx strAuthenticationcode, strErrorInfo, strIsApproved --- This allows us to Use the variables strAuthenticationcode, strErrorInfo, and strIsApproved in any code following. Malfunctioning Corresponding CF Snippet --- cfscript //Call the AuthorizeEX function hresult=objOnHand.AuthorizeEx(strAuthenticationcode, strErrorInfo, strIsApproved); /cfscript --- The problem.. is I am unable to use the return variables as I doubt that I'm passing them correctly. The COM object executes.. with no return variables. Also, a cfdump of #hresult# yields an, Undefined variable error. I was thinking that Hresult would be a collection that I can loop over for the return values.. but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any Ideas on how I can get these values out of the com's instance space? -Zine ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: track duplicate survey votes
If you are looking for the closest thing to secure as you can without requiring a log-in..the do track both cookies and IP. There are two things with just tracking IP.. that you should know about anyway..I If you have a client on a network behind NAT or behind a firewall..and he tells his co-worker behind the firewall..then they will probably both have the same IP address.. so it won't let his co-worker vote.. and Dial up users get a new IP address when they disconnect and reconnect(a process that takes all of 30 seconds). The point is though.. that while tracking cookie and ip is a good solution.. it can't beat having the user log-in for higher security type polls. For all other polls/surveys where you want the most security that you can without requiring the user to log-in.. then IP and cookie is as high as you can go as far as I know. You might also look into getting one of those images that have numbers that only humans can read.. so people will not be able to program bots that will simply submit over and over again. -Zine -Original Message- From: Ewok [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 1:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: track duplicate survey votes store cgi.remote_addr with each submission and dont let the same IP vote twice its easy to delete cookies and vote again.

Encrypt/Decrypt Functions - Questions
Hey there again I have been using the Encrypt/Decrypt functions to store encrypted values into the database. I have a Visual Basic application that I want to integrate with the user database.. however the database is encrypted with the Encrypt/Decrypt functions. I have the code for the VB application..so I am planning on editing the code in the VB application to encrypt the password string I have the string I'm using to seed the Encrypt function as well :)..so In theory.. I have everything that I need to do that.. except.. VB provides no encrypt/decrypt function. So.. My question.. is how does the encrypt function use the key to seed the 32 bit value that it uses to XOR the string? I read from macromedia's website that the Encrypt/Decrypt functions use the XOR method to encrypt and decrypt the string using a 32 BIT seed...The seed is determined by the key... but how does it actually take the key and convert it to the seed? The end result of this is; I'm going to replicate the encrypt function so I can compare against the value encrypted in the database..I'm just missing how to use the key to make the seed for the XOR of the string. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the communication, Damon. I am sure many of us are excited about a soon-to-come solution. I know I am. I am sure it will help Michael's blood pressure as well! g The less-than 256 bit color display is reproducible on most any machine, by switching to the default vga driver. You can always change it back after testing, regardless of the video card setup. I just checked the Add/remove listing on my developer box (Win2k) and see that Java 2 runtime Environment, SE shows both v1.4.0_01 and v1.4.0_03. I don't see a listing for java runtime on either my Win2k server (CF 5.0) or my Win2003 server (CFMX Pro) I have no idea is this has any significance at all. Most hosting providers will leave the default video driver in place, to reduce resource requirements while the server is up and running, however, it is not much of a problem to switch to 256 colors (or more) when install packages require it. Most of them do, from what I have seen. Important here is that the installer kick up an error message if the color setting is not high enough. I have seen this reminder a number of times. I, for one will be glad to test whatever scenario you come up with. Jochem accessed my Win2003 server, remotely, yesterday and successfully installed CFMXPro on the machine and while it is installed as a stand-alone, it did complete the install with updater 3, and rebooted without the freeze-up experienced before. I am going to test this procedure a few more times, to make sure I have the steps in the correct order and down pat. In the meantime, I want to install a web site that uses CFMX for non-critical test purposes and continue the saga. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am not experiencing this with Linux/Apache installs. These are no-brainers compared to the Windows issues. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

More Aggravation RE: Very unsatisfied with Macromedia's support attention ...
I hate to aggravate this issue any further.. however.. Coldfusion on our dev server returns a 404 on every cfm page that is directly accessed(but not index pages for some reason.. Ex: http://www.domain.com/ works fine even if the index page is a .cfm file.. but http://www.domain.com/index.cfm returns a 404 error.) This happens until we re-install the connectors ..every time the dev server restarts..I have to run the remove connector script.. and the install IIS connector script otherwise all scripts that have their name in the URL return a 404. Weird.. Went through some of the tutorials on how to fix this issue. (make ColdFusionMX depend on W3 service.. Etc.. ) It still has the same result..Since it is a Dev server.. it doesn't matter much.. still .. if it happened on the Dev server.. it could happen on the Production server. WINNT 4.0 SP6a 800Mhz, 256MB RAM, MS-SQL. The point is.. there are some operating system/CFMX issues out there.. Macromedia is doing beta testing now of the next updater.. Code named Red Sky. I'm looking forward to see if it will fix my issue. -Zine -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 1:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Very unsatisfied with Macromedia's support attention ... I'm very unsatisfied with the attention that Macromedia are paying to the problem at my hosting company. Damon Cooper very generously stepped in to help a few days ago, then passed the problem to one of his support guys and since then it's all gone pear-shaped. There was a couple of phone calls back and forth, and they tried some stuff, but suddenly it's stopped. No emails to Macromedia's support are being replied to. Emails to Damon have not been answered. I am worried that they're all going off for the weekend leaving this unresolved. This is totally unsatisfactory. Here's what they think is an answer ... do you people think this is satisfactory? PROBLEM: The sysadmin was trying to apply updater 3, and every time he did, ColdFusion would hang. Damon thought it was caused by the server only having 16 colour graphics card instead of 256 colour. WHAT'S BEEN DONE: The sysadmin has replaced the card with a 256col card, and tried again to reinstall updater3. Now it seems to install, but CF won't start automatically. Every time the server gets booted, ColdFusion has to be manually started. (I don't consider this to be satisfactory in a large shared environment data centre!) MACROMEDIA'S RESPONSE: Here's what the last response says ( and no further correspondence has been received in the last few hours from Macromedia - to either me or the Sysadmin - we face another weekend with a failed CFMX installation!) [quote] Macromedia: After you install Updater 3, the connector won't work with any prior version of CFMX before Updater 3 so you're all set. FYI. Here's the connector FAQ: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/connector_inst all_faq.htm The service starting issue normally logs this to the event viewer. Windows Event log details: System Log The ColdFusion MX Application Server service terminated with service-specific error 2 (0x2). What we found is if you reboot and log in right away, the CF Applcation Server service throw this error. If you wait a minute or two after reboot before logging in, services start up fine. Known bug that currently isn't an easy fix. As long as you know about this bug (and to start CF manually), it should not be too bad. SYSADMIN: So, this is a know error and what you are saying is that if I reboot and wait a few minutes the service will start automatically wihtout the need of anyone to start the service manual ? [/quote] So does the system have to be manually started or not? We can't get them to answer. The MM engineer says at one point if we wait minutes, it'll start, and at another point, he says we have to start CF manually. So which is it? Both the SYSADMIN and I have sent emails to try to clarify this and haven't got an answer. Do you people think it's satisfactory to have a CF installation that won't start automatically? Is this common? What have I done to deserve this? Why can't I have a CF installation that bloody well works properly?

You can do a listfirst(formfield) to get the first one of the duplicated parameters. so if you have index.cfm?id=6id=5id=4 Coldfusion MX will treat it like,Id=6,5,4 and, listfirst will get the first item in the list, (6) Listfirst takes two parameters, listfirst(list,Delimiters).

RE: Problem with shopping cart (probably bad session coding)
Hrm..perhaps this has to do with browser caching :).. You also may want to make sure that on a multiple product listing.. that the other products on the form are not also getting added to the user's cart. Also.. be careful when storing the price in a hidden field in the HTML form..a known attack to set the price of an item in a cart that stores the price in hidden fields to $0.. is to simply copy the html to a file on your hard drive and edit the html so that the hidden field for the price says 0.. and submit it from the file on your hard drive. -Zine -Original Message- From: Mark Picker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 11:48 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Problem with shopping cart (probably bad session coding) Hi All, Now this is really starting to s*t me off. Has been giving me a headache for weeks now and I'm sure it will turn out to be something very very simple that I changed that is causing my problems. More or less these pages come from a shopping cart tag I got a long time ago from the Developers Exchange and had been working fine, but recently has started doing something weird. So first some of the code : application.cfm cfapplication name=ttzed clientmanagement=Yes setClientCookies = Yes sessionmanagement=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)# applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)# cfif NOT IsDefined(session.basket) cflock scope=Session timeout=10 type=Exclusive !--- Create the shopping basket --- CFSET session.basket = queryNew(PartID, PartNumber, ProductURL, Price, Quantity, saleDate, GroupBuy, Grouping) /cflock /cfif ...

RE: ColdFusion MX Still crashing after updater. *pulling hair out*
Thanks for your response Jim LOL, I know..definitely odd.. I appreciate you responding. there are no CFX tags at all.. The only outside resource it uses is the Database. It also uses some of the CGI variables and verifies they are not null(or a zero length string) before using them... If I check the CGI variable Http_host several times.. is it going to cause DLLHOST to shoot up? Perhaps DLLHOST is providing that information to JRUN?.. Is there any way that that request that is running behind the scenes.. could be how CFMX stores a cached query? Just a thought.. Recent news: I removed the CFFORM tag in one page on the application.. and I am now relying on the ColdFusion isnumeric() function.. to test and make sure that the value is numeric. It seems to be running better.. It was definitely causing the NULL Pointer JVM error.. I have since(removing it[cfform]).. not seen any of the java.lang.NullPointer errors in the exception.log file.

ColdFusion MX Still crashing after updater. *pulling hair out*
As much as I hate to mention things like this.. In a previous e-mail I mentioned that I had an issue with Coldfusion MX crashing on a high hit site. At the time, Coldfusion MX was un-patched.. Yesterday I ran the ColdFusion MX Updater 2. and, is still crashing at least three times a day.. if not more. There is on average 200+ people on this server... with up to 5 requests simultaneously running(most of the time.. it is 1-2). We have ASP a few ASP scripts running on the same machine. The issue is..DLLHOST.exe will suddenly take up 100% of the processor power and not leave anything for the jrun process.. then the Jrun process queues up users.. until the DLLHOST.exe is finished processing.. or coldfusion gets 230+ queued requests.. then coldfusion quits entirely. The service is still running after it quits.. ..but no response from .cfm pages.. and the processor usage goes down to 1%. It was suggested that there might be a runaway ASP process that is executing.. I examined that possibility with iistracer..and it is, indeed, a coldfusion script that is running. (But.. it doesn't hang like this through most of the requests.. just every so often.. with no pattern)... Coldfusion is set to time out all requests after 9 milliseconds(90 seconds).. and yet..iistracer is reporting scripts running for a couple of hours.. during that time.. DLLHOST jumps around.. and frequently stays at 100% processor utilization(causing there not to be enough processing power and coldfusion to queue up the requests). Also, ColdFusion reports that it has no processes running during this time. Also .. stopping and re-starting the CF application service doesn't get rid of the process that is running.... you have to stop and restart IIS entirely to stop the process that seems to 'every so often' not end. I get this error in my cfmxroot\runtime\logs\default-err.log; 03/21 23:18:23 error Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read I sometimes get this error on my cfmxroot\logs\exception.log; Error,jrpp-25494,03/13/03,15:46:20,i3replication_session,null The specific sequence of files included or processed is: D:\Webs\FreeStoreClub\www\default.cfm java.lang.NullPointerException at coldfusion.runtime.ClientScopeKey.hashCode(Unknown Source) at java.util.Hashtable.get(Unknown Source) at coldfusion.runtime.ClientScopeServiceImpl.GetClientScope(Unknown Source) There is at least 250MB of free physical ram... on a Win2K Server with 512MB of RAM Processor speed:800Mhz (single processor) Running the Standard MS SQL JDBC drivers..

RE: DLLHOST.exe woes. Part of ColdFusion MX? IIS Connector?
I'm less worried about the RAM it is taking up and more worried about the amount of processing time it is taking. 100% for long periods of time. What ends up happening..is Jrun.exe doesn't have enough processing power to execute the pages.. and the server queues up users -Zine -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 12:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: DLLHOST.exe woes.

It would make sense that dllhost.exe is what is calling the coldfusion connector... right? Is it normal for DLLHOST to be using more processing power then the jrun.exe process? Does DLLHOST play an intricate part in the page assembly? When you use CF (MX or any other version) with IIS, within IIS you have an Application Isolation option for each virtual server. If you choose Low, the CF ISAPI DLL will be run in-process by the IIS process (INETINFO.EXE, I think). If you choose Medium (in IIS 5) or High, the CF ISAPI DLL will be run out-of-process. Since it's a DLL, not an EXE, it has to be run by something else, and that something else will be DLLHOST.EXE in this case. So, if you have Application Isolation set to Medium or High for the virtual servers running CF, it's not unusual to see high memory usage by DLLHOST.EXE. Macromedia recommends that you run the CF ISAPI DLL in-process for better performance, in which case you wouldn't see DLLHOST.EXE using the memory, but rather INETINFO.EXE. There's nothing necessarily wrong with seeing high memory usage by either, though, as long as your server remains responsive.

RE: How do I stop losing my cookies and stay logged in?
Dave This type of error is usually caused by a Date/Time issue for cookie expiration. this may be solved by a number of methods.. depending on the issue.. Ex: one time my user login script was doing exactly what yours is doing.. and it ended up.. the system clock was incorrect.. one of the admins had set the timezone of the server to their timezone at home.. and then another admin noticed the time was incorrect and set it to the correct time in a different time zone .. and the majority of the cookies expired immediately. Check your system clock.. and server system clock to make sure that it is correct..

Another Challenging question
Ok.. lets say that I have a HTML form with field names from the database.. Like.. ShoppingItem_ItemCode Or a better example.. : 'ShoppingItem_' database.itemcode so..as people add items to their shopping cart.. this list gets longer.. input type=text name=ShoppingItem_Gyro value=1 input type=text name=ShoppingItem_GarbageCan value=3 This works all good and well in the recalculate quantity processor by getting the second element in the list with delimeter, _ to know what product is in the cart and evaluating the full variable to know the new quantity.. and using the string 'ShoppingItem_' to distinguish a field containing the items quantity in the fieldnames variable(skip all of the rest). The problem occurs when someone makes a item with a '-' in the product code.. Ex: someone makes a product with the code; goober-pokerman The form field looks like this; input type=text name=ShoppingItem_goober-pokerman But when the processor goes to evaluate the form field.. for the quantity.. it looks like this, (evaluate(field)) which translates to (evaluate(ShoppingItem_goober-pokerman)).. and Coldfusion treats it as a math equation.. (ShoppingItem_goober - pokerman) = Error: ShoppingItem_goober(missing '-pokerman') is undefined. I tried using the DE function and it returns the fieldname instead of the value of the fieldname Any Ideas on how to get around this Dynamic Evaluation quandary? I'm looking for the value of the fieldname.. It is stored two layers deep here... First.. the field name is stored in a variable(currentitem).. then evaluate(currentitem)= Item quantity in cart. This works unless the field name contains a '-'. If it does.. the evaluate statement treats it as a math equation and can't find the value of only part of the variable name. I'm thinking parhaps something like cfset currentvalue=shoppingcartitem_#currentitem# or something like that.. parhaps..

CFMX Giving up in high strain conditions.
Hey This server is pre-updater 1. I'm having an issue with a pair of twin ColdFusionMX (Win2000 Server 500MB RAM, 800Mhz) servers, where CFMX seems to give up when it cannot muster enough system resources. then when the resources are available.. it is still down and the only way to fix it is to re-start the ColdFusionMX application server service(it appears to just 'give up').The ColdFusion server can 'give up' in three different ways.. The first way is to simply not return a response(results in a 'can't contact the server' on the client). The second way is to display a blank white page.. htmlhead/headbody/body/html. The third way is to produce a JRUN 404 error. Two specific triggers of this problem as of late are.. Database outages.. and Processor time.This server occasionally fights for processing time with .ASP pages.. ...and an asp page that runs for a while(some times more then 50 seconds(the asp timeout has been removed so that the reports don't error..the reports take a while.) It would make sense if it simply queued up the requests until the resources became available.. ..but after they become available.. it simply sits there with all the requests in the queue not doing anything. Is this issue resolved in an updater? Has anyone experienced anything similar where coldfusion MX gives up in an extremely high strain environment where Jrun doesn't seem to be doing anything at all(after it gives up)? This is a high hit server with limited resources..and I'd like to resolve this without 'requiring' that we get another CPU if possible(we will invest in new hardware if there is no other way). -Zine ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Please ignore steps that do not apply. 1) Stop your web server. 2) Please uninstall CFMX, 3) Delete any registry key for HKLM\Software\Macromedia\ColdFusion, 4) Delete the CFusionMX_installdir and rename the CFIDE and CFDOCS from your IIS webroot. 5) Reboot your machine. 6) On reinstalling CFMX, please use the stand alone webserver that came with CFMX. 7) Try to access the CFMX Administrator on port 8500. 8) From your CFusionMX\Bin\Connectors folder, double click on the particular connector you wish to work with CFMX. If you receive an error stating that Jrun is not started, please close the DOS window and launch C:\CFusionMX\Bin\cfstart.bat then launch the web_connector.bat again. 9) A directory C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1, should have been created with jrun.dll for IIS, mod_jrun.so for Apache and jrun_nsapi35.dll inside the 1 directory. 10) Please verify from your CF documentation on what entries should have been created/inserted to Apache and Netscape conf files. For IIS, there might be a need to Map .cfm to C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll in your IIS console.

Brook At 11:39 AM 3/6/2003 -0800, you wrote: java.lang.StackOverflowError means that the JVM ran out of room in memory for processing more method calls. This shouldn't happen under normal use; it's usually tied to runaway recursive calls, or possibly infinite loops. I'd check for either of those cases, perhaps with some code library that you're using on all your forms. I successfully submit huge forms (up to about 80 fields) to CFMX without any issues, so I suspect its a problem with the CF code being executed, not the CF server. However, it might be tied to using CFFORM for validation, if you're using it. I'm not on my forms, so that might be the difference.

RE: Database Results - Quick DB -- CFOUTPUT Tutorial
Well, Then you are going to like Coldfusion :)
In ColdFusion.. it is much simpler(and less wordy).. more so then ASP
because ColdFusion handles the details of the record set.
For example... lets say that you have a table called 'names' with two
fields in it; FirstName and LastName.
And the table lays out like this:
LastName,FirstName
{
McNally,Jhon
Gooble,Billy
Pizza,Italian
}
To display all of those records.. would look something like this;
---Snip-
!--- //Get Data from the Database ---
cfquery datasource=Your_ColdFusion_Administrator_Datasource
name=What_ever_You_want_To_Name_It
select * from names
/cfquery
!--- //Output the data ---
cfoutput query=The_Name_Parameter_on_the_cfquery_statement
#lastname#,#firstname#
/cfoutput
--End Snip--
And ColdFusion handles everything else.. even down to incrementing the
array position. Nice huh? Don't need to worry about arrays.. or
initializing data objects.. or any of the ASP overhead. *grin*
The Query field values are like an associative array.. for example..if
you want to access the the firstname field of a query you named
FirstnameLastname
(In the CFQUERY statement; cfquery name=FirstnameLastname
datasource=Your_ColdFusion_Administrator_Datasource)
you would use the variable;FirstnameLastname.firstname
(queryname.fieldname).
Using the CFOUTPUT tag with the 'query' parameter also does something
special.. It tells ColdFusion to try to preface your variables with
the query (in the query parameter) you specified(unless you already have a
regular variable by that name). So, using the cfoutput statement will reduce
a variable like; #The_Name_Parameter_On_the_cfquery_statement.firstname#, to
#firstname# within the open and close CFOUTPUT tag. In the example above,
see how I didn't use the unimaginably long query name I specified?
However, I could if I wanted to..use
#The_name_Parameter_on_the_cfquery_statement.lastname#,#The_Name_Parameter_O
n_the_cfquery_statement.firstname#. *grin* but nobody would want to use
that! ColdFusion automatically 'scopes' the variable to the query for you.
Of course you'd want to put a BR or place table control tags to format the
HTML, ex;
(the cfquery tag stays the same)
-Snip
table
cfoutput query=The_Name_Parameter_on_the_cfquery_statement
TRTD#lastname#,/tdtd#firstname#/td/tr
/cfoutput
/table
-End Snip-
Also, ColdFusion populates certain values that you can use(but you have to
reference with the 'queryname.' before..For example:Coldfusion
automatically populates the RecordCount value for the query.
Tip: The Recordcount value is the number of rows returned in a query.
So.. when you want to see how many records were returned from a query, use
the variable, #queryname.recordcount#.
Ex: you have a query named FirstnameLastname (from the table above) and you
want to display the whole table..AND make sure that if there is nothing
in the table, you tell the user that 'there are no names in the table'
instead of showing nothing. I'll also use the ColdFusion datasource on my
server named,'customerdata'.
--Snip---
cfquery datasource=customerdata name=FirstnameLastname
select * from names
/cfquery
cfif FirstnameLastname.RecordCount eq 0 !--- //There aren't any records
if RecordCount is 0 ---
BRThere are no names in the table!
cfelse!--- //The query returned records, Displaying them! ---
cfoutput query=FirstnameLastname
BR#Lastname#,#Firstname#
/cfoutput
/cfif
-End Snip-
Ex: To see if a UserName and password submitted is valid
Table userinfo's fields: ID, UserName, Password
{
1,'Dan','1234'
2,'Joseph','Z1Gzp-Vqr'
3,'Angus','Goober'
)
The User submitted the form variables, 'User' for Username and 'pass' for
password.(POST or GET.. ColdFusion deals with them seamlessly[ColdFusion
even deals with URL parameters seamlessly, No Extra Code Needed to parse
each type!])
Snip--
cfquery name=IsValidLogon datasource=customerinfo
SELECT ID
FROM userinfo
WHERE UserName = '#form.User#'
AND Password = '#form.pass#'
/cfquery
cfif IsValidLogon.RecordCount neq 0
!---
//RecordCount will be zero if no records and something else(nonzero) when
there is records
// TIP: the ' neq 0' part isn't really needed because the tags between the
if branch will execute when Recordcount is
// nonzero. That is, of course.. unless you are also testing for
duplicate username and password combinations
---
Congratulations! You logged IN!
cfelse
invalid Username or password
cfinclude template=logon_form.cfm!--- Include the Login form in the
execution ---
cfabort!--- Stop processing (after the login form is loaded)---
/cfif
---End Snip-
Warning.. the code above does a case-INsensitive match for most SQL
distributions.

RE: CFMX load test
Hey, Have a look at http://femnet.freestoreclub.com/ Those prices are all dynamically calculated :).. and the catalogs are dynamic also.. It is an extremely complex shopping cart program that allows users that are logged in (and paid) to mark-up products on their subdomain, hide.. show/products from the company wide catalog..:)..all of the products.. at once.. or one product.. or both :). I'm not at liberty to mention how many simultaneous users it supports :) *grin* or the hardware of the servers.. however I can vouch for Coldfusion being capable of handling huge amounts of load. Site was previously using ASP for the shopping cart.. however the ASP TO IIS handler was constantly taking 50% of the processor!.. Totally dynamic pages(assembled at runtime) (dynamic menus.. dynamic site contents) an average of 45Kb, range of 200Kb to about 16KB About 19-25 different .cfm pages run on each page load Range of 1-16 queries per page load.. average of 12 Cookies not needed for site to function. Cookie variable encryption supported. Random Ordering of over 600 products on page load. Execution time is about 350ms - 850ms ( 1000ms is one second ) If you are going to do load testing on your own server,Make sure that you do not enable debug mode while load testing as It adds a huge amount of load to the servers and the statistics generated from the load test are not accurate because of the excess stress from producing the debug information.
