Hi All,
We are having a problem I hope the list can help with.
In a Nutshell, We purchased Forta's CFX_Spell tag and wrote a UI for it.
Tested it with no problem. Then we moved it to our Production machine which
is running CF 4.01 on Windows NT 4. (Before you say upgrade to CF5 or MX,
Let me just state that this box houses a business critical app that runs
fine under cf4.01 and we have not wanted to upgrade just yet.)
When we moved it to Production and the user's started hitting the dll, the
tag stopped working. After doing some better research I learned the CFX tag
was not multi-thread safe and it was suggested to add <cflock> around the
tag to force it to be single threaded. Did that and added <cftry><cfcatch>
logic around the cfx tag. I have included the logic below. Anyway, The
additional logic caused something strange to happen. The Server Seemed to
loose all session/Application variables and Would not allow access to any
CFM pages only .html pages. We immediately shut off access to the dll and
all code touching it. I sent numerous emails to forta, but have not gotten a
response. Has anyone else experienced these problems? any resolutions/
suggestions on how to get this to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code used:
<cftry>
<cflock name="spellock" timeout="20" throwontimeout="Yes">
<CFX_SPELL TEXT="#Form.CommentBox#" name="spell"
LANGUAGE="#language#">
</cflock>
<cfcatch type="ALL">
<cflocation url="Update_review.cfm" addtoken="NO">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
