Re: HTTP POST operation

2002-06-14 Thread Kurt Ward

Well, that's what I thought too, but it isn't working that way.  I am not
submitting a form,
I am making a connection to the server and sending the POST request along
with
the data I want sent but the debug in CF doesn't show the data anywhere...


 Kurt,

 An http post is a form submission, so the chances are that the data should
 be available in the form scope in CF.

 Do the http post to your CF page and check out the debug info in CF - the
 info from the Java page should be displayed under the FORM variables, but
if
 not the URL variables.

 Hope that helps

 Regards

 Stephen

Open Source

Open Source projects have produced some very good software.

For example:

Apache Web Server
Tomcat Servlet/JSP app server
Xerces XML parser
Xindice Native XML Database Server

And these are all from www.apache.org not to mention www.sourceforge.net,
and many other hosts of Open Source projects.
I realize you specifically are talking about end-user
apps (ie. message boards), but I think it fits the same foot.

Sure!  But who's going to buy it unless it's under a well known

Providing projects as open source makes the wheel better by letting

No you are right, read my follow up email on this. It seems this part of
the documentation hasn't been touched since V3.1 when I first started
using it, I can't tell you when this function was introduced.

But what I can tell you is this, the name of the function is misleading.
In fact I would bet that this problem has been there right from the word
go, because nobody uses it. I can not for the life of me think why any
one would want the ordinal number of the month given from the year, and
maybe that is why this example is lets say a little misleading with the
result.

However when I look at this function before reading the docs is that it
should give 1, but we all know that the first day of the month is the
1st anyway. So it's no big deal, but maybe if someone could post a
better use for the code or even show how to do what the function is
designed for would be better.

And I want to add one more thing, I applied for the beta program again
for Neo and was told to wait until Beta2, as I have been a part of the
beta program for a very long time I don't understand why those of use
who have been a member (for me is now 4 years) why we are not selected
first over the newer users?

I have asked to part of the Alpha program now for over a year, never any
word as no you can't yes you can. And I am sure a lot of others like
myself feel the same way, who have been beta testers of Coldfusion for
the same period or even longer. I am designing an application that I
know will not work under CF1.0 - CF5.0, but think that Neo would be able
to cope with it. Which, btw is why I wanted to be part of the Alpha
team, to help introduce new features or even help better what you had.
But I guess we have deaf ears at Allaire, because they knew you guys
where taking over the operations.

One disappointed CF developer. Oh well looks like I will start using
Net to create this application now.

CVS is a great tool;  Most if not all Open Source projects use CVS (ie.

There are some GUI apps for CVS, and some IDE's have built in access such
as Forte.

Having never used VSS, I can't comment on it.  But knowing who produces it
would lead me to
believe it probably has some features that I wouldn't find appropriate.

  Hello CF-Talk,
 
I've got a simple site, and uses a small Access database. We will
  be
taking credit cards.
 
Wondering what others consider a realistic practice to ensure
security to a reasonable level. What do others do?
 
The site will have a SLL, but I'm thinking along the lines of
encrypting the card number. However, I know how unsecure ColdFusi
ons
encryption is, so why bother?
 
If people do somehow encrypt the card number, would you be willin
g
to give examples? And I guess I'll need a way to unencrypt the
numbers in an admin area.
 
I've seen where a site will store half of the number, and the sec
ond
half gets sent by email to the shop owners. Then the shop owners
need to go in and match up the numbers.
 
Thanks for any advice, recommendations on this.
 
 
  Best regards,

RE: Dealing with inventories

2002-01-17 Thread Kurt Ward

We do this for clearance items to keep from overselling stock.
If a clearance product is added to a basket, we flag the qty as hold.
If the items are purchased within one hour, we decrement the inventory.
We have a stored proc running every 15 minutes that removes any
unpurchased items from baskets if they are at least 1 hour
old which releases them from the hold count.  Has worked well for us.

RE: Dealing with inventories

2002-01-17 Thread Kurt Ward

VERY true.  For our situation (and I would guess most),we are only concerned
with clearance items
because there may not be any additional product due to discontinued items,
etc.
As far as regular items, we only keep track of inventory in order
to display an estimated ship time, and not whether or not we oversell stock.
Due to the fact that our company was originally a catalog/phone order
business, items
on backorder are fine. If our entire stock had to play this game it would
paint an entirely different picture.

 I want to post a schema diagram to a sourceforge project, what
 are my options for formats?

 SQL?
 Access?
 Visio?

 Is there anything free and reasonable standardized for posting
 a draft database schema for other people to review?

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a standard available for schema
diagrams. The schema diagram tools within specific database products such as
SQL Server and Access don't usually have a way to export the diagram itself.
Visio can build schema diagrams, but you'd need either Visio or a Visio
viewer to see them, of course. In addition, there are other, more specific
diagrammer tools available, such as ERwin or PowerDesigner, but using them
runs into the same issues as using Visio.

If you just want to show a visualization of the schema, you might print it
to PDF from Visio or your diagrammer of choice. We typically use ERwin to do
that. If you want people to play with the schema, things may get more
complicated. You might just provide the SQL script necessary to create all
the objects, and that could typically be used by whatever diagrammer someone
uses. Of course, if you simply want to provide a logical schema, as opposed
to a physical one, you won't even have an SQL script yet.

Hey folks, this one is kinda off-topic, since I haven't gotten around to
working on the front end (which will be in CF).

Where I work we have been struggling for some time to come up with a
standard for documenting our code, be it ASP, CF, VB or Stored Procedures.
We're trying to build something that would be used on all platforms and help
to build a living technical document that could be accessed via a web
interface.

Here's the thought:  embed an XML block into the various pages and files (we
script stored procedures and tables for portability).  I want to build a
tool in CF that will read all of the files and build either static HTML
files, various XML files, one big HTML doc or several HTML docs.  That way
we can run the parsing application on a directory that contains the project
and have it automatically generate a living technical document, made up of
the comments and information found in the XML blocks from the files in that
directory and subdirectories.

I'm throwing this out as an idea and a topic for discussion.  Has anyone
already done this or investigated the possibilities?

RE: How do people work around the current limited cfmail

2001-12-10 Thread Kurt Ward

We have battled this problem for 2 years.  First there was the bare LF
problem with Linux Qmail (and CFMail not building emails per the RFC), plus
undeliverables of every nature, etc., etc..  We also tried ASPMail, which
was configured per the docs and it worked sporadic at best.  Our solution:
we use cffile to write emails to a text file with unique filenames, and kick
off a Perl script at 3 min intervals to process the queue.  Haven't had a
problem since...

At least 2-3 times in the past week we've had developers and users scurrying

mail, with the final reason being that someone had mistyped one of a
series of email addresses.

I was just curious what others are doing about this sort of thing?
What I sure wish were available was a way to a) get msgs out to all
valid ids, b) bounce errors back to an Errors-To: header.

RE: UPS Prices

2001-12-10 Thread Kurt Ward

I'm pretty sure that pulling rate quotes from the UPS site via the CGI
gateway
is still a violation of their site usage rules.  Registering and using the
XML
tools was for the most part painless and the tools are very cool (address
verification, tracking, rates, etc.).  They also send email notifications
when any changes will take place.  If the quote fails (either from a
connectivity standpoint or any other error) the order is flagged as manual
and bypasses the shipping calcs allowing for the checkout transaction to
complete.  Reliability?  Pretty good! We typically process 600+ orders per
week, and I honestly cannot remember the last time a rate quote failed.
Only one bad not: their tech support/customer service is HORRIBLE.

I used to use the Forta tag and loved it.  Then UPS started playing
hide-the-api and broke it... At the time, at least.

After that experience I decided I can't depend on a 3rd party's good
will to let ecommerce sites keep working.  Built a tag that uses
downloaded/imported rates rather than trying to keep up with UPS, their
changing API and usage restrictions (at the time of v1.1 and 2.0 (which
was a whole year-and-a-half ago... Now they're on V5??) pulling rates
from their site became a violation of their site usage rules.  Don't
know if they've changed, but from what they told me at the time they
were pretty solid in wanting to migrate everyone to their own licensed
tools.

The solution isn't perfect by any stretch.  Not *everything* is
supported, although what most U.S. shippers seem to need is.  Plus the
rates need to be updated annually... But at least that means
UPS-shipping sites don't break themselves more than once a year.

PervasiveSQL is a good product.  I have used it in the past with CF and

Xindice (formerly dbXML) Client

2001-12-05 Thread Kurt Ward

Background:

Xindice (formerly dbXML as it is being moved to the Apache Foundation) is an
open source native XML database server intended to manage large numbers of
small XML documents. The documents are stored in collections and the server
provides the ability to query these collections using XPath.

The Post:

I have been using Xindice for about 5 months and have had a lot of success
with it.  I have written an admin/developer client in CF for the server as
well as a set of custom tags that allows developers to interrogate the
server (open/insert/update/query/delete XML documents) that I will be
posting on the Allaire/Macromedia dev exchange in a day or two.  When
combining this server and custom tag set with the Torchbox XML Toolkit
and/or Brett Suwyn's CF_SOXML, you can quickly build some radical
applications (even something hybrid such as a SQL JOIN between an XML doc
from the Xindice Server and SQL Server - I've done it!).

In addition, I have written an article on downloading and installing the
Xindice server and XML-RCP plugin, the Xindice XML-RPC API, and integrating
with CF that will also be freely available.

You can learn more about and download Xindice (still being called dbXML
until 1.0) at:

http://www.dbxml.org

Screenshots of the admin:

http://209.192.70.50/dbxml/index.htm


A couple of notes:
The open and query results are displayed using a modified version of
cf_dump, which generates a large number of nested tables and is fairly slow.

Access to the Xindice server is via XML-RPC.

Also, for anyone that is interested I am working on a PHP version of the
client along with either a Class object or UDF's.  If you would like to help
with either project (the first client interfaces that I know of), they are
both on SourceForge or you can contact me off of the list.

RE: CFX_Print - anybody have it?

If you are just printing text files, just create a batch file and use the
copy command.  Then use CFExecute to call the batch file and pass the params

copy.bat:
copy %1 %2
(%1 is the source argument, %2 is the destination)

cf code:
cfexecute name=c:\copy.bat   arguments=c:\filename.txt LPT1

LPT1 would print to a printer connected to LPT1 on the CF server.
If you need to print to a network printer, just use the UNC

If you use alogorithms that can be cracked, or such becomes reality, it
is your responsibility to modify the alogorithm/routine to make it
secure again. Alternatively, no longer support it and tell people to
develop there own or create a framework for third party developers.

Bad protection is bad protection.

  #2. MM needs to change the encryption methodology inside of CF5.0

 The problem with the cf encryption is that it needs to be fast and
 have a

RE: SQL Server 7 book(s) recommendation

2001-05-15 Thread Kurt Ward

Personally, I think the M$ books are too vague (rendering them useless), and
a waste of money. The best book I've come across (and has since been
referred to as the bible)
is Transact-SQL Programming from O'Reilly.  It covers MS SQL 7 and
certainly
has more than just T-SQL.

My SQL is a bit ropey and I want a decent book or two to plough through. I'm
going to be working with SQL Server 7, so it would be great if anyone can
recommend a book that covers both standard SQL (not necessarily from ground
zero) and T-SQL as well. If not, are there two separate books you can
recommend? I've bought SAMS Teach Yourself SQL in 21 days and am not all
that impressed...

Any thoughts?

I want to build an app that will traverse our directories and extract the
text within ColdFusion comments. I will use this to build a kind of dynamic
help generator.

I'm trying to use cffile to read in the file so that I can use Find() to
look for the commented code. But, if I read in the file and then output it
on a page, ColdFusion tries to process the text and display it as what it
is, mainly HTML and CFML.

Is there some tag I can use to just output the file I read in as plain text,
so that none of the CFML gets processed or the HTML gets displayed? All I
want is the text contained in the file. (Normally, I won't output the entire
file, but just the results of the Find(). This is a temporary debug thing
until I can get the bugs worked out.)

I'm designing a data input system using CF. The data input person is running
on a Mac using MSIE 5 (latest version of MSIE for Mac as far as I know).

He keeps getting errors about form fields not being passed from one page to
the next. That is, on 1.cfm he fills out a form and then hits the Submit
button. On 2.cfm, he will get errors like missing field abcdefg. When we
look at the source of 1.cfm, the form field is clearly there and we are
filling it out.

He's tried it in MSIE Mac 4 and that seems to work okay but he prefers to
use V5. I've tried it in several different browser types and versions on a
PC and I can't duplicate the problem.

Anybody else noticed this problem and figured out what is going on?

RE: Sending mail with coldfusion

2001-04-26 Thread Kurt Ward

Bill,

There are several other issues with CFMAIL that led us to abandon it (such
as
strict RFC compliant email servers like QMail, etc.).  If you are on a Win32
setup, you may want to look at the AspMail COM object from
www.serverobjects.com

This component is heavy duty with a list of heavy hitters using it.  Some of
it's functions allow:

multiple file attachments
custom headers(X-Mailer, etc.)
Word wrapping at n characters
Several other mail headers(priority,return-receipt, etc.)
PGP Encryption

I think it sells for $50.  Someone has also written a custom tag for an easy
interface to it.

Does this mean they may be pricing it to handle one application per

I do not see how else they can differentiate Multiple Cold Fusion

OT:XSLT sorting

2001-03-12 Thread Kurt Ward

Sort of off topic.

I am recieving XML data via a CFHTTP POST and using Brett Suwyn's cf_soxml
tag to process the results with an xsl transformation.

The problem I am running into is when I try to sort a portion of the XML
tree in the DOM.
Here is a piece of the code:

xsl:for-each select="TrackResponse/Shipment/Package/Activity"
xsl:sort select="ActivityLocation/Address/City"/
tr
td id="light"
span class="text" id="smalltext"
xsl:value-of select="Time"/
/span
/td
td id="light"
span class="text" id="smalltext"
xsl:value-of select="Date"/
/span
/td
td id="light"
span class="text" id="smalltext"
xsl:value-of select="ActivityLocation/Address/City"/
xsl:value-of select="ActivityLocation/Address/StateProvinceCode"/
xsl:value-of select="ActivityLocation/Address/CountryCode"/
/span
/td
td id="light"
span class="text" id="smalltext"
xsl:value-of select="Status/StatusType/Description"/
/span
/td
/tr
/xsl:for-each

If I process without the sort function, I get the results, but unordered.

Any ideas?

RE: Multiple Servers - Cluster Cats

2001-01-08 Thread Kurt Ward

I'm not sure what to expensive amounts to, but we use a hardware based
load balancing system (Big IP www.bigip.com) that works very well for the
web servers (a farm of three, with central data storage).  For our SQL
Servers, we also use a central data server for the DB's with the load
between 2 servers.  For failover of both systems, we have backup file
servers for the data.

looking into cluster cats, MSCS, NSI and anything else that may do the trick
hopefully easy and not to expensive

  Does anyone have any experience setting up Cluster Cats or any other
solid
  backup/failover server system?

 ClusterCats is a software based web server load balancing service. It will
 do you absolutely no good if your DB server dumps it's motherboard again.
 For true fault tolerance you would need at least two web servers load
 balanced with ClusterCats (or any other software or hardware based load
 balancer) AND at least two DB servers running in a Active/Passive or
 Active/Active cluster configuration.

 The latter is very tricky and expensive to achieve, unfortunately.

 By the way, I have very little experience in actually doing this, only
 researching it for my own servers.

RE: CFX CyberCash Question....

2001-01-05 Thread Kurt Ward

Kevin,

I use the CF_ CyberCash tag with no problems as follows:

CFX_CYBERCASH
VERSION="3.2"
CCPS_SSL_HOST = "https://cr.cybercash.com/cgi-bin/"
CCPS_HOST = "http://cr.cybercash.com/cgi-bin/"
CYBERCASH_ID = "#CybercashID#"
HASH_SECRET = "#Cybercash_Hash#"
MERCHANT_KEY="#Merchant_Key#"
MO_ORDER_ID="#GetOrder.ID#"
MO_VERSION="3.2.0.2"
MO_PRICE="usd #GetOrder.Amount#"
CPI_CARD_NUMBER="#GetOrder.CardNo#"
CPI_CARD_EXP="#GetOrder.ExpDate#"
CPI_CARD_NAME="#GetOrder.NameOnCard#"
OutputPOPQuery="Transaction"

If I'm not mistaken, the cybercash test info you are using is fine as long
as you do NOT use an existing order ID in their system.  Make the order
number
something you know will be unique to you (ie, kvntest001 for example).
Also, I think you will have to increment the order id after you use it.

RE: load-balancing (using radware solutions and cold-fusion)

2001-01-03 Thread Kurt Ward

We use a different load balancing system, but this could still be an
idea to consider:

We have 3 Apache/CF servers that share a common file server for the website
content/templates. This would eliminate the need for the replication between
web servers (which I would not do in CF either) although you would probably
want a failover file server with replicated data.  It also makes it easier
if you need to add another web server to the farm.

Subject: load-balancing (using radware solutions and cold-fusion)


Hi,

I'm trying to set up a load-balancing solution based on Radware Web Server
Director and Radware Fireproof with Cold-Fusion.
I need to identify what I have to replicate (files, directories of my
application ) on every servers when an update is done by the application on
one server.
My biggest problem is that I have to do in CF an application that
synchonizes the content (files, directories) of each servers.
If a server is down and the synchronization cannot be done, I had to log it
and do it later.

Did anyone already do this ? Cause I'm not sure it's reliable or even
feasible in cold fusion.

Thanks

RE: Collection and Indexing question

2000-12-27 Thread Kurt Ward

Yes, a site can have multiple collections (actually, fewer smaller
collections are better if you have a really large site).
For dynamic pages, you index the collection from a query.
Yes it can work with fusebox.
