Well the only thing I can say to this thread.

That is your fault (not you directly) for replacing files in the core
Coldfusion code application, mark this as a gentle reminder to everyone
else.

Play with fire and expect to be burnt..

Re: Weird Time Issue Between Linux and Windows Server

Randy Johnson - CFConcepts wrote:
 The one linux server Is on Central Time Zone,  The other linux server is

 The windows server is on Eastern Time Zone.

you've fallen into timezone hell:

http://www.sustainablegis.com/blog/cfg11n/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=77223B6A-20ED-7DEE-2AB7FBB1F37ABD77


this line converts your datetimes to the *local* tz (cf sees all datetimes as 
server tz datetimes):

cfset theDate=DateAdd(s,i/1000,DateConvert(utc2Local, January 1 1970 
00:00))

so yup you can expect different datetimes across different tz as you've 
changed the start date per tz.

if you want the same tz for all your boxes you either have to set them all to 
the same tz or cast the  resulting datetimes to whatever tz you need. best 
recommendation is to set all the server's to UTC  cast the tz as needed, see:

http://www.sustainablegis.com/projects/tz/testTZCFC.cfm

for a CFC that might help.

that said i ran your code on a win2003 box (cf8/JDK 1.6)  got very different 
datetimes after setting it to the tz you indicated above:

Central Standard Time
{ts '2008-09-03 10:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-10 10:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-17 10:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-24 10:00:00'}

Pacific Standard Time
{ts '2008-09-03 06:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-10 06:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-17 06:00:00'}
{ts '2008-09-24 06:00:00'}

so maybe you should double check your server's tz--last week or so i helped 
someone who thought they had set their tz to British Summer Time (BST) but it 
turned out the JRE thought that BST meant Bangladesh Standard Time ;-) this 
snippet should help:

thisTZ=createObject(java,java.util.TimeZone).getDefault();
writeoutput(#thisTZ.getDisplayName()# (#thisTZ.getID()#));

Verity Collection Unable to create temporary file

2008-08-28 Thread Mike Kear
I have a verity search faciaility on one of my sites, and we recently
moved the site to a new server box.Now, when i go to refresh the
indexes I get the following error:

Unable to create temporary file

And the error is pointing to the line containint the CFINDEX tag .

I guess this is something to do with the permissions, but i'm not sure
what is needed - I had no such problem setting the search up on my dev
machine, nor on the previous box.   I managed to use CFINDEX to delete
the collections, and to create them again programmatically, but this
error occurs when i go to populate the collections with data.

What do i need to do ?(or perhaps i should ask, what do i need to
ask my Sysadmin to do?)

Hi,

Did you manage to figure up this issue?
I use IE7 and 
response.setContentType(application/vnd.ms-excel);
response.setHeader(Content-disposition,attachment; filename=Book.xls);
Like you I get a yellow bar To help protect your security, IE has blocked this 
site from downloading files... but when I click the yellow bar and select 
Download File, nothing happens
Even in second attemp

THANKS
Tali

 Hello, I am trying to use cfcontent to make an excel sheet and in 
 Internet Explorer 7 the yellow bar at the top does it's thing and says 
 To help protect your security, IE has blocked this site from 
 downloading files blah blah blah.
 
 I click the yellow bar and select Download File, but nothing happens.  
 No file is downloaded.
 
 If I don't refresh the page and try it again I do get the option to 
 save or open the file and everything looks great.
 
 Why doesn't the first attempt to download work?  Here is my code:
 
 cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=inline; filename=SKUs.
 xls
 cfcontent type=application/ms-excel

cfmail woes

2008-08-28 Thread Imperial, Robert
Hi folks,

 

I've run into an issue I cannot seem to resolve with sending mail via
cfmail here. I'm trying to send a barebones test email and keep running
into the following after initially setting the mail server to 127.0.0.1
and then setting it to the actual IP 

 

From the cf mail log-

Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

And of course it drops it into the undeliverable folder never to be seen
again. 

 

From the exception log-

Error,scheduler-2,08/27/08,13:39:08,,Invalid Addresses; nested
exception is: class javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to
relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

 

This is on a windows box running:

IIS 

Windows 2003  Standard

ColdFusion MX 7,0,2,142559 Standard

 

This has baffled me since I have the same setup on a 2nd box that has no
issue with sending emails and hasn't had for the past year or so.

 

Any help or light to be shed would be greatly appreciated.

 

Bob

It sounds as though your SMTP server isn't configured to relay messages 
for your ColdFusion server.  If this SMTP relay is ONLY used by your web 
server, then I would set the connection controls to only allow 
connections from localhost (127.0.0.1), and then set the relay 
restrictions to allow all (since only the localhost can connect, relay 
control becomes a moot point).  These settings are under the access tab 
in the SMTP properties in the IIS configuration.

RE: Text to image for Non CSS font resolution

2008-08-28 Thread David Moore, Jr.
C Wrote: Not to rule out other options, but try setting the background color 
when the image object is created:  cfset myImage=ImageNew(,500,20, rgb, 
ff)  Though, I do not think you want to create the images every time 
the page loads. 
That helps, but I still need help. It did do the trick, but is it the best 
solution? I am not going to create it each time. Just each time they need new 
text. I will build an image inventory and check to see if the FileExists. I 
hate the way this will work, but I can't talk them into doing it any other way. 
 
I am using a combination of sIFR and this. (I got the sIFR working late last 
night). I don't like any of it, but an Agency created the design using 
ScalaSans everywhere, even with me explaining how text resolves. And the site 
is completely dynamic. Has anyone else run into this and found a better 
solution. 
 
If text comes out of a database dynamically and it must be a non-universal 
font, is there any other solution other than Text to Image or sIFR?
 
Thanks,

RE: CF8 PDF Fonts

2008-08-28 Thread Andrew Scott
2 things to look at...

1) the space might be an issue 'garamond 3' might work.
2)it might be a license issue regarding distribution of the font.. But I
have no idea how that works.
3) Is the font installed on the machine, I am not sure if by default the
font is embedded into the PDF or not.

font-family : garamond 3, serif; 
font-size : 14px;   
color : black;}

and appears correct in the generated html source used in making the pdf
- on the server, so the font is installed and exists Etc.

However, it is NOT appearing in the PDF.  Analysis in Acrobat
Professional says the font is TimesNewRoman so somewhere the font is
being substituted for a default serif font while the PDF is being
generated.

Anyone any ideas how I use my specified font?

Thanks

Re: Text to image for Non CSS font resolution

2008-08-28 Thread Azadi Saryev
what i did a while ago (before I discovered sIFR) a client was:

- create a separate image for each letter and punctuation mark in the
font they wanted to use, naming each image file according to what is in
it (A.png, B.png, ect).
NOTE: the font they used was uppercase-only, so i was spared creating
upper AND lowercase images...
NOTE 2: some punctuation marks can't be used in filenames on a windows
comp, so had to rename them to some other character which were unlikely
to be used in a text string, like $ for space, [ for ., etc.
- in the text string replace any chars that are not allowed in file
names with the ones i used instead.
- loop through the text string letter-by-letter outputting images instead.

worked pretty well: www.mekongspirit.com - all page titles are done this way

i suspect it may not be too great for SEO purposes, though...

 I am using a combination of sIFR and this. (I got the sIFR working late last 
 night). I don't like any of it, but an Agency created the design using 
 ScalaSans everywhere, even with me explaining how text resolves. And the site 
 is completely dynamic. Has anyone else run into this and found a better 
 solution. 
  
 If text comes out of a database dynamically and it must be a non-universal 
 font, is there any other solution other than Text to Image or sIFR?

Re: putting in cffile

2008-08-28 Thread Jessica Kennedy
THANK YOU!  That worked perfectly!

  I need to write a .csv file with all data encased in quotation marks, 
 the problem is that cffile output uses double quotes to define the 
 data to input.  How can I get around this??  Geez, i know it's got to 
 be something easy... 
 
 You can either double up on the double quotes in the string, or wrap 
 the 
 contents in single quotes instead of double quotes.  For example...
 
 cffile contents=This is some awesome text with quotes!
 
 cffile contents='This is some awesome text with quotes!'
 
 Another way would be to use CFSAVECONTENT...
 
 cfsavecontent variable=theOutputThis is some awesome text with 
 quotes!/cfsavecontent
 cffile contents=#theOutput#

Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
Is there some way to pre-fill a filefield value?

I'm trying this:

   cfloop from=1 to=#filenamelist.recordcount# index=i

cfoutput#i#/cfoutputbr
cfoutputfilenameList.recordcount = 
#filenameList.recordcount#/cfoutputbr

input name=cfoutput#i#/cfoutput type=file
value=cfoutput#filenameList.name[i]#/cfoutputbr

   /cfloop

And it gives me the correctly rendered HTML:

   input name=1 type=file 
value=E:\UploadDirectory\2008_0819_sav_mlxchange_image.jpgbr

   input name=2 type=file
value=E:\UploadDirectory\2008_0819_sav_mlxchange_image_data_and_photo_download.jpgbr

   input name=3 type=file
value=E:\UploadDirectory\2008_0819_sav_mlxchange_image_data_download.jpgbr

But when the filefields are displayed in the browser,
the filefields are empty.

Is there some way to get the 
E:\UploadDirectory\2008_0819_sav_mlxchange_image.jpg to show
up in the dynamically created filefields?

Thanks,

Rick

No.  It's a security hole.  Imagine being able to pre-fill it with C:\my

You could upload any file you wanted from your user and all they would need

From a browser standpoint, your hands are tied.  If you can convince your

I think Flash might give you more control, but I'm not too familiar.

I've never seen javascript that could do this, once a bug in I.E. that 
allowed to was closed.

I did once read about an ActiveX that purported to allow this when used 
in I.E. but that was years ago.

Flash can do it since it is not a 'Browser' but rather a desktop 
application or something like it.  I've never played with this so I do 
not know the ins and outs, but that is my understanding.

I've run into this request when working with corporate web 
applications.  The process usually involves some regualar data upload by 
a user where the file follows a specific format including names.  The 
idea being why should the poor overworked employee be bothered with 
navigating the file system and selecting the file when it is the same 
ever day|week|month.  Couldn't they just click a button or something?

I then reply, 'No they can't if you want this to be a quick and cheap 
application using a browser.  Want to pay for me to learn AIR and we 
will discuss this/'  At least that is how the reply is worded in my head.

RE: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
Actually, I was just responding to someone's request
on the cf-newbie list for a way to upload an entire directory
at once.

I thought perhaps there was a way to auto-fill with a
cfdirectory-generated list and corresponding fields for
each file that would be pre-filled, then all the user would
have to do is hit the submit button to upload all the files
in the fields.  Just trying to avoid each file being selected
individually for the user.

However, I could certainly use this feature in my real estate apps.
Sometimes clients want to load 20 photos or more of a property
and they complain about having to select each photo individually.

I've used javascript to create an Add another file upload field
function that clones the filefields and prevents the user from
having to submit one file at a time,
but they still have to select each file using Browse.

At this point, I don't see how pre-filling the fields with values
that the user is placing there is a security risk.  I'm sure in some
way that I'm not familiar with the function could be abused.

It just seems like with some limitations placed on a group file upload,
such as no hidden fields allowed, etc, that the function could be
brought into use without security risks.  The name of the file (which
is often obscured in the filefields without working to view the filename)
could be placed above the filefields when they are generated to assure
the user of what's being uploaded.

There are javascript solutions for this, so why can't CF have one
that doesn't pose a security risk, if the javascript solutions don't?

Rick

RE: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
 I've never seen javascript that could do this

Now, I'm not a javascript code, and barely know how
to use jQuery, the most user-friendly js system I've seen.
However, after a little searching, I ran across this
script, which the author says will automatically generate
the needed number of filefields, then, using an iframe,
create multiple forms and use them to submit the filefields 
one after another, thus uploading multiple
filefields with one pass.  (If I understand it all with only
a cursory review.)

It looks fairly simple.  Maybe I'll give that a try.

But here's the author's explanation:

The trick of my method is using multiple forms,
and using a hidden frame as the target of the form post.
I am creating multiple forms using a javascript loop,
just to make the total number of file upload fields variable
(defined by TotalFileFields variable). Each form contains
input type=file element. When upload button is called,
each form is posted one-by-one, and thus dividing the
process into multiple relayed requests.

And here's his code from 
http://vinayakshrestha.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/javascript-multiple-files-upload-trick/


html
head
script type=text/javascript
TotalFileFields = 5;
StartUpload = false;
CurrentFormID = 1;
 
function FilesUpload() {
while (1) {
if (CurrentFormID  TotalFileFields) return true;
if (eval('document.frm' + CurrentFormID + '.upFile.value') == ) {
CurrentFormID++;
continue;
}
break;
}
StartUpload = true;
eval('document.frm' + CurrentFormID + '.submit()');
return false;
}
 
function myIFrame_OnLoad() {
if (!StartUpload) return;
CurrentFormID++;
if (FilesUpload()) {
StartUpload = false;
CurrentFormID = 1;
alert('UPLOAD COMPLETE');
}
}
 
function GenerateUploadForms() {
for (i = 1; i = TotalFileFields; i++) {
document.write('form name=frm' + i + ' method=post 
action=http://localhost/;
target=myIFrame enctype=multipart/form-data');
document.write('input type=file name=upFile//form\n');
}
}
/script
/head
body
script type=text/javascriptGenerateUploadForms();/script
input type=button value=UPLOAD onclick=FilesUpload();/
iframe id=myIFrame name=myIFrame onload=myIFrame_OnLoad(); 
style=display:none;/iframe

 I did once read about an ActiveX that purported to allow this when used
 in I.E. but that was years ago.
 
 Flash can do it since it is not a 'Browser' but rather a desktop
 application or something like it.  I've never played with this so I do
 not know the ins and outs, but that is my understanding.

AMD vs Intel for CF Servers

2008-08-28 Thread Jordan Michaels
Vivio has been researching processors for the next few VPS platform
servers that we will be purchasing, and I was wondering if anyone knows
of any direct performance comparisons between Intel and AMD with regards
to CFML processing.

In Vivio's research, we found the following benchmark which illustrates
the performance differences of the Sun JVM on the two different
architectures, but so far this is the closest things we've seen that has
any relevance to CFML processing:

http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=3162p=12

More info about the specific test they ran on Sun's Java can be found
here (SPECjbb):

http://www.spec.org/jbb2000/

Is anyone aware of any recent direct comparisons between Intel and AMD?
Perhaps even your own experiences?

To be clear, I'm not talking about desktop chips - from what we've seen
Intel has a pretty clear lead there. Unfortunately, a lead in the
desktop world doesn't necessarily translate into the server chip arena,
as the above benchmark shows - I was just hoping to find some more
information hopefully directly related to CF.

So... penny for your thoughts? =)

Thanks in advance!

Re: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Justin Scott
 I thought perhaps there was a way to auto-fill with a
 cfdirectory-generated list and corresponding fields for
 each file that would be pre-filled, then all the user would

First, CFDIRECTORY only has access to the files and directories on the 
server, not the client, so you wouldn't be able to list the user's 
folders and pre-populate the fields anyway.

 At this point, I don't see how pre-filling the fields with values
 that the user is placing there is a security risk.  I'm sure in some
 way that I'm not familiar with the function could be abused.

Ok, imaging that there is a widely used accounting program that stores 
its data file in the same location on every install.  Now, imagine a 
malicious web author sending spam for free Paris Hilton pictures.  The 
unsuspecting user visits the page, but it's asking for their age before 
it will let them through.  No problem!  Here's my age, click submit, and 
WHAM, they now have your accounting database.  How?  Because they put a 
file upload field with the path to your database pre-populated.  Maybe 
the field was hidden, covered with an image, or re-positioned off screen 
so the user didn't see it.  Whatever the case, the browser won't let you 
do that to prevent this scenario.

 It just seems like with some limitations placed on a group file upload,
 such as no hidden fields allowed, etc, that the function could be
 brought into use without security risks.  The name of the file (which
 is often obscured in the filefields without working to view the filename)
 could be placed above the filefields when they are generated to assure
 the user of what's being uploaded.

That's one of the faulty assumptions; that user's check for these sorts 
of things before they click submit.  How many years did it take to train 
people to look for the lock icon when making a purchase?  The browser 
vendors had to start changing the color of the address bar to get people 
to notice!

 There are javascript solutions for this, so why can't CF have one
 that doesn't pose a security risk, if the javascript solutions don't?

I think the JS method someone mentioned exploited a bug in IE to get 
around that, and said bug has since been patched so even that won't work 
anymore.

RE: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
 Just reading your posted description, this is a way to just create
 multiple file upload controls.

That's not the way I read it.

Again, the author's description:

and using a hidden frame as the target of the form post.
I am creating multiple forms using a javascript loop,
just to make the total number of file upload fields variable
(defined by TotalFileFields variable). Each form contains

each form is posted one-by-one, and thus dividing the
process into multiple relayed requests.

Note he states:  When the upload button is called,
each for is posted one-by-one, this dividing the process
into multiple relayed requests.

He seems to be saying that one click of the button sets
off a series of auto-generated forms containing a filefield
which is automatically submitted via js until there are
no more files, at which point the function breaks...

I tried his code as is, except for adding /body and /html
to the page, but it doesn't work or look correct.  And from his
code, I can't see where the directory or files would be specified.
Maybe this is not all there is to his code.

Perhaps I'll email him about it.

The iframes seems to be his method to allow triggering of

I've got my cloning solution for easily creating additional filefields,
but they still have to be Browsed one-at-a-time for the files.

I just read through the post for that multiple file loader JavaScript.  
The problem he is trying to get around using multiple forms is size 
limits and timeouts on an individual large request with multiple files 
in it.  By breaking the process up into separate requests, one for each 
file.

There is nothing to this tool about automatically populating these file 
controls that I can see.

I believe the Zip functionality that was suggested to the CFnewbie poster would 
be an ideal solution for your 20 photos.

You can instruct the client to zip all of the photos into a zip file and then 
upload using the form.

You can check to see if it is a .zip file, if it is, you can unzip it to your 
app directory and then loop over the image files inside to process them into 
your site.  (if you resize/thumbnail/etc)

Good luck,

William

at once.

I thought perhaps there was a way to auto-fill with a

having to submit one file at a time,

 process them into your site.  (if you resize/thumbnail/etc)

Oh, yes, definitely.  The image processing of CF 8 is the main reason
why I upgraded from CF 4.5!  I was s glad to see those capabilities!

 I believe the Zip functionality that was suggested to the CFnewbie poster 
 would be an ideal
solution for
 your 20 photos.
 
 You can instruct the client to zip all of the photos into a zip file and then 
 upload using the
form.
 
 You can check to see if it is a .zip file, if it is, you can unzip it to your 
 app directory and
then
 loop over the image files inside to process them into your site.  (if you 
 resize/thumbnail/etc)
 
 Good luck,
 
 William
 
 Actually, I was just responding to someone's request
 on the cf-newbie list for a way to upload an entire directory
 at once.
 
 I thought perhaps there was a way to auto-fill with a
 cfdirectory-generated list and corresponding fields for
 each file that would be pre-filled, then all the user would
 have to do is hit the submit button to upload all the files
 in the fields.  Just trying to avoid each file being selected
 individually for the user.
 
 However, I could certainly use this feature in my real estate apps.
 Sometimes clients want to load 20 photos or more of a property
 and they complain about having to select each photo individually.
 
 I've used javascript to create an Add another file upload field
 function that clones the filefields and prevents the user from
 having to submit one file at a time,
 but they still have to select each file using Browse.
 
 At this point, I don't see how pre-filling the fields with values
 that the user is placing there is a security risk.  I'm sure in some
 way that I'm not familiar with the function could be abused.
 
 It just seems like with some limitations placed on a group file upload,
 such as no hidden fields allowed, etc, that the function could be
 brought into use without security risks.  The name of the file (which
 is often obscured in the filefields without working to view the filename)
 could be placed above the filefields when they are generated to assure
 the user of what's being uploaded.
 
 There are javascript solutions for this, so why can't CF have one
 that doesn't pose a security risk, if the javascript solutions don't?

Exact, one should be able to upload every thing like *.jpg in a 
directory, or select several files in it.

I've implemented another solution were clients can send all their images 
in one zip file,
and I unzip it on the server. Of course, there is no gain in size, and 
users must be able
to zip files, but at least for this application, it doesn't look like it

Re: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Brian Kotek
The bottom line is that you cannot use JavaScript to set the value of a file
field. You just can't do it. The browser makers went out of their way to
make sure that this is impossible due to the devastating security issues
that would result if it were allowed.

There is absolutely no way to insert a value into a file input element using
JavaScript. The only way a value can be put in there is a result of the user
choosing a file in the file selection dialog box. All the multi-upload
JavaScript tricks are doing is creating separate hidden file input fields,
but the user still has to explicitly choose a file value to put into it.

Brian

Because that isn't what HTTP was ever designed to do. They made a whole
protocol just to handle this: FTP.

I'm somewhat confused about your point now. It's clear that what you're
attempting to do is simply not possible using only a web broswer and a form.
There are other avenues such as AIR, ActiveX, Java applets, or FTP that will
do this. But unless you start mailing standards bodies and browser makers
with enhancement requests, this avenue is closed.

I can tell you that it makes functional testing a pain, because if you want
to use something like Selenium to test a page that does a file upload,
you're out of luck. Annoying? Maybe in some cases. Likely to change?
Unlikely to the point of being moot, I'm afraid.

Brian

 The hackers see it as a golden opportunity to do
 a drive-by upload of your entire hard drive.

But why is there more risk for a user to upload a single directory, and *only*
a single directory of their choosing than to upload single files.  Is it just
to protect them from themselves?  With the limitation of the function to one
directory without recursion, I don't see how those poses risk to a user's
or my server's hard drive.  No recursion and limitation on file types...

How would the one folder method be more risky than the one file method?

And I'm asking because I really want to understand, not because I think I know
what's better...

RE: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
I hear what you're saying.  I just like to rail against the limitations some.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous 
misfortune,
or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them...

  Why not?

 How would the one folder method be more risky than the one 
 file method?

If they're still clicking and selecting then it isn't more risk per se, but
creates issues in usability for the user.  If they're not careful they could
theoretically upload their entire My Documents folder without realizing it
when they intended to send one file.

Re: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Azadi Saryev
there are also commercial java applets out there that allow a user to
select multiple files at once (though not just pointing to the folder
containing the files - actually selecting the files inside the folder,
but they can click on and select multiple files in one 'select files'
window, or in some cases even ctrl+a to select all of them at once).
such applets are used on most of the photo sharing websites. of course,
the users have to allow the applet to be installed first. sorry, no links.

 You're just trying to give me a migraine! :o)

 Before I learn another app right now, my clients will have to push
 way more than 20 Browse buttons looking for files.

cfthread running condition?

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
Is there a way to make the start of one thread
conditional upon the ending of a previous thread?

I want to keep only one thread at a time running
and would like to set up a series of threads to run,
but only one at a time.

I've been doing this with scheduled tasks and emailing
completion to myself for verification of success each morning,
but running 54 schedule task templates currently, with having to add
another 30 or so soon has just become quite cumbersome.

Didn't know if there were any options.

Too bad we can't number the threads to run sequentially
and set them to run only individually.

Rick

RE: Pre-filling FileField Values

2008-08-28 Thread Rick Faircloth
Well, I just set up something that to say:
You're about to upload xyz (file or folder).
Are you sure this is what you want to do?

Yes   No

Of course I don't want all that on my server,
so maybe I would have to limit the name of the folder
their uploading to a specific name.

cfdirectory action=upload recursive=no specifyDirectory=yes
directoryName=Photos dataLimit=yes DataSizeLimit=100 (MB)
MaxNumberofFiles=100 UseThread=yes ThreadName=PhotoUpload

Whatever...I'm tired...FTP or having the client zip their files
sounds good...

Looks like it nobler in the mind to suffer...

ColdFusion not seeing standard Java classes when using CFINVOKE

2008-08-28 Thread Joel Parramore
Hello folks,

I'm converting a CFC to use cfinvoke instead of createObject becase of a 
hosting provider's restrictions.  When using cfinvoke, ColdFusion (v8 Developer 
edition, under Windows 2003 Server) does not see standard Java classes; 
however, when using createObject, there does not appear to be a problem.  A 
short example:

THIS FAILS (Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface 
java.lang.System.):
cfinvoke component=java.lang.System method=getProperties 
returnvariable=prop2 cfdump var=#prop2#

THIS WORKS:
cfset prop = createObject(java, java.lang.System).getProperties()
cfdump var=#prop#


If someone has encountered a similar issue and resolved it, I'd appreciate 
hearing it.  Thanks in advance...

Regards,
Joel
