Re: 500 error/Permission issue with IIS 7
Did you create a connector to IIS with WSConfig tool? Do you have a Jakarta Alias in the IIS site? It ended up being a corruption in the web.config default documents. Thanx for the replies. All of those are in order. I did manage to figure out a kludge to get the sites up until I can figure out a proper solution.

Re: Moving part of my hosting business - thoughts about my plan please ...
I like RHEL/CentOS because they are pretty stable and they don't do bleeding edge, main bug/security fixes, you have to upgrade to the next major release to upgrade major versions of many packages. Yeah what Pete said, I have been on Centos and RedHat for years. It is very stable but the package manager seems to be a few versions behind the latest release of software packages. This is mostly for security and stability reasons, i.e. they err on the side of caution. Which is fine and dandy with me. There are a multitude of hosting CF's out there what will automate a lot of, if not most, admin chores. But the downside of these are of course security concerns. The most infamous of which is Kloxo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloxo#Security_issues So caveat emptor and do your research first.

A bunch of other people have already replied about the positive value of learning new things. Remember, this is an industry where you constantly have to learn new things! Getting paid to learn them on-the-job is the best possible thing for you, personally. That said, it may not actually be the best thing for your employer, simply because the value of existing code is very, very high, as is the cost of rebuilding applications in a new language. So, you might want to ask your employer what value they expect to get from this? Honestly, as a consultant, I see this we're going to rewrite all our language X applications in language Y, and it's usually just a way for consultants (like me!) to make money while providing very little actual value to the organization making the switch. It's true when people rewrite other applications in CF, and it's true when people rewrite CF applications in something else. The best approach is to build new applications in the new environment, and move old applications to the new environment when they need significant changes that would be expensive to implement even in CF.

I've look at the various pre-rolled CMS offerings and have found them to be serious overkill for all my clients. I've always created my own CMS for each website I created to insure that clients were comfortable with them. Mostly, I just provide a regular form (never even used CKEditor) and take care of the styling in advance to keep them from destroying the look of their site. They just update verbiage and images. The reason I asked about full-blown CMS options, is that I've got one more sophisticated client who wants, basically, to be able to change everything. Well, she might as well become a website designer to be able to manage everything on the site, including header graphics, etc. I've been tinkering with CKEditor and think that will be a good option for the global site manager or custom CMS I'm building for my clients currently. I can control the options on the toolbar to keep clients from getting too creative, but make it easy for them to add links, etc., with knowing how to code them. I can keep the CKEditor instances distinct for every form field to accommodate database interaction so I can re-purpose content for email newsletters, etc., and avoid having all content titles, bylines, details, and images all contained within a single database field. I'll have to discuss just exactly what this new client means by control everything on the site. Turning over complete layout and design control to a novice to change the design of a corporate site with my name associated with it is not an option I want to pursue. If she wants that much control, then I'll just consult with them and she can buy a copy of Dreamweaver and use it as a WYSIWYG editor. She wants to be able to add pages to the site, as well, so I may have to develop that functionality, along with on-the-fly menu adaptation for the new pages. Maybe I can just convince her to let me create a new page when she needs one and then turn her loose on the content. It starts to be annoying and a lot of trouble (for which the client doesn't want to pay, typically) when they want to start wanting to get into the kitchen of the website design development restaurant, rather than just placing their order and allowing the chef to do his work.

I've also rolled a customized CMS through the PHP framework Kohana. I, for one am happy to let go of the content updates and the radio station example allowed the program hosts to manage their own program content, archives, blogs and links to externals. IMHO, as some have mentioned, Joomla is a bloated beast to customize. It does what it does well, though and has a solid role/permission setup and tons of plugin functionality. For a simple 10 page site, though, it's probably too much. For CFML CMS options, I find FarCry to be similarly troublesome to customize (I haven't worked with the newest versions, though) I've played around under the hood with Mura and I find it to be very promising as a CMS platform to build a site around. It's fast and straightforward in the way it approaches what it does. As far as design goes, I've never been able to take a Joomla site with a template and deploy it out-of-the-box. They all need customization, based on the way the client wants to use them. The newest version of Joomla is better for customizing. A customized CMS, whichever you choose, makes clients feel pleased and empowered. You'll still have plenty of work to do fixing the odd mistakes, adding functionality, and helping them through the learning curves. I've found that the more a client interacts with their site, the more valuable it becomes as a business tool and the more requests I get to add functionality and features to help then.

Re: Coldfusion and dhtmlxGrid
Yes and no but mostly no. You will need to feed the grid the data and the
way that most apps like this work is that you must feed it structured data
in the form of XML or JSON. Technically you do not have the create a
physical file and can pass it a document on the fly via CFcontent. But
if you are asking: Can you feed it a raw record set from CFQuery with out
an intermediary format the answer is no. It needs to be in a format
that dhtmlxGrid will understand. In this case XML.

What I would like to do is run a query or stored procedure, get the

display them.
I have gotten the demo to work with basic text and the xml file

However, is there a way to take the query results and pass them directly to
dhtmlxGrid directly without having to write the data to a file and then
reading it?
I have tried something like this:
var mygrid;
function doInitGrid(){
mygrid = new dhtmlXGridObject('mygrid_container');
mygrid.setImagePath(codebase/imgs/);
mygrid.setHeader(Model,Qty,Price);
mygrid.setInitWidths(*,150,150);
mygrid.setColAlign(left,right,right);
mygrid.setSkin(light);
mygrid.init();
mygrid.parse(cfoutput#xmlString#/cfoutput);
xmlString is a valid XML object but the grid does not format like this. The

Re: CF running out of steam
It's a good banana among a boatload of other perfectly good bananas being traded on an imaginary software commodity exchange. Exactly. There is all sorts of amazing things going on out there. Ex: I have been digging into the .NET world and I am nothing short of amazed as to what folks are doing on that front. Visual studio has a package manager much like YUM for Linux... You type in a command at the command prompt within VS and it includes packages like angular.js or Twitter Bootstrap or into your app just like you install apps with YUM on Linux. I was all Whoah, wait, what? Is this a MS product? Kick ass!! I am a huge fan of Railo btw but the webdev landscape is radically different than it was a scant 2-3 years ago. As I am fond of saying Everything you know is wrong every 3 to 5 years. In the same breath I have to say that the back end is quickly becoming little more than a service layer for your database and for things that JS and/or mobile apps can't do or do well. I have heard several times in the last week (from developers of various back end languages) that the back end is just a matter of preference anymore. Everything is moving to AJAX, Mobile apps and client side app MVC frameworks like Backbone.js and Angular.js so just as long as you can expose your back end via Rest and/or SOAP web services it really doesn't matter what you are running server side. And as we all know CF makes it ridiculously easy to do both :) Just some observations and my $0.02 on the matter... And as always, worth every penny. G!

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
A couple of things come to mind. First is the primary reason I use CF: Speed of development. CF can be seen as a framework for Java much like jQuery is a framework for JavaScript. It takes care of the bulk of the heavy lifting and grunt work so you can focus on writing productive code. ,NET is a lower level language when compared to CF meaning that you have to take care of a lot of low level chores in order to do something, If you wanted to open a bottle of wine with another language you would first have to build the bottle opener, or even smelt the steel, in order to open the bottle. With CF you call CFBottleOpener / and you are done. Justin James http://www.techrepublic.com/search?a=justin+james at techrepublic.com once remarked that only 25% of the time he spent writing Java was writing productive code, the other 75% was taking care of low level pluming so he can write said productive code. There is a phrase down south that goes I am fixing to get ready to... That is what it is like with lower level languages like Java and .NET you (often) spend a bulk of your time preparing to actually do something. Lastly, you have the entire Java Class Library at your disposal. Say you need to do something that CF was not designed to do or does not do particularly well you can drop down into Java or use a third party class library to perform said task. In short it reduces complexity, and the amount of code that one needs to write for the same end result. Less code = faster time to market, less chance for bugs and lowers the cost of development. Sorry if I am rambling... It is late in the day. HTH. G!

The stuff built into CF is great for quick and dirty solutions if your a beginner or want to knock something out quick and not too concerned about how its done. There are however some plusses and minuses on each side. The code CF generates to do cf form validation for example is rather clunky and repetitive (not good code reuse), however it is only generating the code you need so in the grand scale, quite small, but does rely on the existence of the CFIDE folder. Using JQuery or similar would result in better code, and you could have the same set of code handle server side validation and client side (via ajax) and you don;t rely on CF or the CFIDE, but there will be much more code as you have the JQuery library to include for a start, so this may be overkill if your needs are simply and add unnecessary bloat and loading time to your page. A lot of people STILL do not even consider server side validation, which allows haxors to bypass all your client side validation by disabling JS and potentially hacking your forms, injecting malware/phishing code, XSS attacks etc. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354509 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Zero Day Error: Impact on CF?

Re: Inline logic vs CFC vs SP
If there is no real benefit then I would not use them just for the sake of it as it adds unnecessary complexity to the maintainability especially where the developer does not have access to the db server to edit the storedPROC. 1++ I can attest to this. I work with apps where *everything* are in SP's and they are a total PITA maintenance wise. Any changes to the database have to be changed in two (or often more) places. Every try to hunt down instances of a table or column in a slew of SP's? No fun at all. I have had some changes that would normally take an hour or two turn into all day affairs. So I am with Matt, not a fan of stored procedures. They have their place but often just add needless complexity. I am also partial to the black box approach when dealing with data. I am also a big fan of machine generated code for CRUDs, service layers, ORM's and the like. It should not matter where the data comes from. When done right, you could swap out your entire data layer from a database to web services and the rest of your app would be none the wiser. Again, like Matt said. Portability.

I have always been a fan of encapsulation even before CFC's and MVC, I would put all DB queries into separate files and code into a separate file and these would either be cfincluded or CF_tags. Sure it does seem pointless sometimes to do this for a couple of lines of code that wont be used elsewhere, but in the event someone does need to change it one day, it is easier if it is easy to find for maintainability, but then on the other hand if all files are named sensibly then everything should be easy to find anyway regardless. But if you are going to have standards and protocols, you should really stick to them all the time and not just randomly break them. StoredProcs should certainly be used if they provide a worthwhile performance boost, only testing will tell you this. If there is no real benefit then I would not use them just for the sake of it as it adds unnecessary complexity to the maintainability especially where the developer does not have access to the db server to edit the storedPROC. It rather depends on your team, if you have a dedicated DBA who is a guru at stored procs and performance tuning queries, then best to good use of him. If it is the cfdevs writing the stored procs and they really have no knowledge of how to tune them and optimise paging, indexes, execution plans etc, then you are probably not gaining anything. A framework is pretty ambiguous term, CFML is itself a framework, and if you have a set of standards for separating display, business logic and CRUDS, then you are are also creating a framework of sorts, more oft referred to as a methodology. Frameworks like ColdBox and Model-Glue are just taking it a step further by doing everything for you, defining a set of rules, adding some event handling and processing logic and a bunch of extra features and tools to make life easier for you.

Some would say our standard should be to place all queries and as much execution logic as possible into CFCs. The advantages of this are: most of your business logic is centralized; if you have to make major changes (like the time we had to copy most of an app's functionality over but change a large percentage of the schema references) it's easy to find most of the relevant code; and, you can often make major changes to an application without pushing more than one or two files to production. Others argue that code only belongs in a CFC if we can expect that code to be reused. So, if a piece of functionality is extremely specific, and therefore not likely to be called elsewhere, then why take the extra step of abstracting to an object. The pet peeve illustrated here is a submit handler page that contains nothing but a call to a CFC, which apparently annoys when business logic is expected on the handler page. Still others would have us put most logic in stored procedures (which produces the sub-debate of whether it's redundant to call a CFC that calls a stored procedure). First, I have to note that we are on Oracle, and personally I don't find it nearly as easy to debug stored procedures in Oracle as it is in SQL Server. Second, I have heard that performance improvement is minimal, and security differences aren't noteworthy provided that you're using cfqueryparam.

One more thing I would like to add to this is that when they set their machines up they lock them down and add security features. It was a nice surprise to find that my machine had already been patched, the firewall configured and locked down, and a SSH protection server to block brute force attacks. My experience with hosts in that price range is that you get a bare bones/default server install and you are on your own to set it up and lock everything down. G!

Re: Setting up database for mvc website
The MVC design pattern is pretty much orthogonal to the design of the database. In fact one of the goals of MVC is to hide the particulars of your model from the rest of your application. Your data could come from a number of different sources (a database, XML, an RSS feed, web service) and it would not matter to the rest of your app. Ideally, one could swap out your source of data from a database or an ORM to a web service and the rest of your application would be none the wiser. BTW I took the time to Google best practices database structure MVC and nobody seems to have addressed the topic. So yeah, what Matt said. https://www.google.com/search?num=100hl=ensafe=offq=best+practices++database+structure+MVC+oq=best+practices++database+structure+MVC+gs_l=serp.3...25075.36379.0.36670.13.13.0.0.0.0.124.1410.0j13.13.0.cqn%2Ccconf%3D1-0%2Cmin_length%3D2%2Crate_low%3D0-025%2Crate_high%3D0-025%2Csecond_pass%3Dfalse%2Cnum_suggestions%3D2%2Cignore_bad_origquery%3Dtrue..0.0...1c.yZGPO9vdhJg HTH G!

Re: cf-database vs cf-java-database
Thanx for the great post Nathan . BTW this is a great line. I am sure I will quote it one day. There is nothing invented by all of mankind that is simpler than the cfquery tag G! On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 4:07 AM, Nathan Strutz str...@gmail.com wrote: As with most things in ColdFusion, you get convenience over performance. If you use a raw database driver (and a front-end platform to handle it), you may have the option of streaming results directly out of the database and onto a web page. This is extremely performant and uses very little memory. This is not what ColdFusion does. CF pulls the results out of the database and drops them into a query object. This object looks more like a struct of arrays when you dig in (and it essentially is). Furthermore CF lets you manipulate the data, change the recordset, query off of it, merge it with another, and so on. It's crazy powerful, but not the fastest knife in the drawer. Adobe ColdFusion uses DataDirect (.com) JDBC drivers for most (if not all) of the databases. This makes it convenient for Adobe to farm out that hard work while providing a standard interface, but on the other hand, native JDBC drivers (i.e. drivers provided by Microsoft, Oracle and other database vendors) tend to be a bit quicker because they have a lot riding on their performance with Java applications. Those native drivers also usually contain more advanced, database-specific features. DataDirect, by their very nature, has to take a safer route. Then again, that's DataDirect's primary job, and you won't often find them more than a half-step behind and often two steps ahead, that's how they make money. Of course, you don't have to use the DataDirect drivers. ColdFusion will accept any valid JDBC driver (that's why the JDBC spec was invented). But then you still have the ColdFusion overhead. DataDirect + ColdFusion has the fantastic advantage of managing database connection pools, thread pools, network connections, network database resolution, security, and so on. If you think you can do a better job by writing native Java, then you work at the wrong company. In other words, this is way, way more work than anyone should ever sign up for, except those people at DataDirect (or Microsoft, or Oracle), or the Adobe CF team office. This is the kind of low-level programming that business application developers need to avoid in order to stay productive. Now, if you have some people who are handy with JDBC and can write great Java, it could make sense to put some of your objects into Java, but chances are, this is a bunch of baloney also. If your only work in Java is some SQL-containing database objects (first off I'd like to point out that that's not actually OO), then you are creating more overhead than you think. Instead of a CF JDBC-connector object, you'll be creating a custom JDBC connector object; personally I'd rather rely on Adobe to get this right, either way it's probably about the same amount of actual objects on the heap. Yes calling java from CF is lightning quick, and getting results back will be sliightly faster, let me point out a few things about your new development lifestyle: 1. You now have another language to maintain 2. That other language needs to be compiled every time you make a change 3. Unless you are on a very recent version of CF, CF may need a restart every time you change the Java code 4. Your SQL is in that other language, so now it is harder to get to 5. Your SQL has to fit into Java strings, so no more pretty line breaking and easy reading of SQL for the developers 6. There is nothing invented by all of mankind that is simpler than the cfquery tag 7. You now require CF and Java developers to do what used to take just a CF developer 8. You lose the ability to do query of queries and other CF manipulations So let's go back to the drawing board. First, are you sure you need to scale up? Could you scale out instead? Is it possible that a SQL database isn't even what you need? When you talk about scalability, maybe going to NoSQL databases would be a better fit. How about a cloud-hosted database where this conversation wouldn't even exist? Going back to the CF speed problem, I know a guy, maybe you know Mike Brunt too, he calls himself the cf whisperer, and it's true, he can listen to your app and tune your JVM so that it works faster than almost any pure Java app. If you're experiencing performance problems, almost every single time you'll find that you have a poorly tuned database, you're selecting too much data at a time, you're using inefficient joins, you don't use cfqueryparams, or something similar along these lines. There is a certain point, depending on hardware and the application, where you actually do have a scalability problem, but from my experience, some proper tuning and refactoring will get you way further than you think (until you have to spend $millions on real

Re: cflayout and CKEditor don't play well together...sometimes.
FWIW JavaScript is notorious for being temperamental and causing problems when you start mixing JS libraries. You are using third party JS libraries along with the libraries used by CF. And practically speaking it is impossible to foresee and eliminate all possible conflicts when using multiple JS libraries at the same time, with or without ColdFusion. This is par for the course. I cannot tell you how many times I have run into problems when using multiple JS libraries/apps/plugins. Seriously though, comparing front end web development to Photoshop or Illustrator, where Adobe can control all aspects of the users/developers experience, is moot. Adobe has no way of foreseeing what you use in a web development project, let alone being able to find work-a-rounds for them. A lot of time the latest versions of popular JS apps come out after CF is released. Believe me, I understand your frustration... I wrestle with it on a regular basis. Just sayin'... G!

Then when they are made aware of them, don't fix all of them on an update release. While they do fix some, they ignore others. Then tell us it will be fixed in the next version I have to now pay for to solve their problemonly to find, as in past experiences, something else will break.

I have done this three ways. I had an edit table (like your temp table) and that worked fairly well. I did versioning as Jason mentioned, that was a bit of a PITA. The other way was to use a preview page and I submitted the form data to the preview page via AJAX and populated it that way. The Ajax method worked best with simple pages i.e. not a lot of joins. G!

Re: CF Beta 10 - 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable after install
Apache talks to CF via IP using JNDI Thanx. I kinda figured that it was something along those lines. I tried turning the firewall off for a brief moment and it did that trick. are you allowing unrestricted localhost access to ports? No sir I am not. I have everything locked down by default and only opened the ports that were needed. Do you know what port or port range that JNDI uses for CF10 off hand? If not I can ask Google. Opening up everything locally makes me nervous. I poked around on the internets and found this post: http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2005/11/23/wsconfig-RMI-and-JNDI-ports It said that JNDI uses 2900-3000 but that was posted in 2006 and for JRun.

Re: Migrate back and forth between cf7 and cf8 on IIS
It's my understanding that the IIS can only do one site (I'm in XP). To do more, I have to buy the IIS Server. That is correct. That is also why I moved to Apache some years ago. I have done what you are looking to do in the past and it is very easy to do with Apache. Actually there are many ways to do it but the easiest way is to have two installs of a portable *AMP stack like XAMPP or my personal favorite, Uniform Server. All you would need to do is configure each version of CF to work with its own Apache install with the Web Server Configuration Tool and use bat files to turn on and off the services. Like so: net stop MySQLS1 net stop ApacheS1 net stop ColdFusion 9 Application Server net start ColdFusion 10 Application Server net start MySQLS2 net start ApacheS2 That way you can start and stop these servers with a double click. Of course there are many other ways to accomplish this. I have Railo, OBD and ACF all running seamlessly on the same Apache install. It was not all that hard to do once you get the hang of Apache HTH G!
