I've set up a Coldfusion Directory Event Gateway on my site (Win2K3 server, CF8
Ent). The DW monitors an FTP directory where my users upload a batch of 5 PDF
files each week. The files are named file1.pdf, file2.pdf and so on. When my
DW gateway sees an addition or a file change, it copies the file to a new
location, reads the PDF's meta data and uses that to rename the file and then
add an entry to a database table for that file (the table entry gets used to
populate a PDF archive list on a different page). In general this all works
with a few exceptions.
ISSUE 1: If I add a new file, the gateway sees it and calls my onAdd function
(which actually just calls my onChange function). If I rename a file in that
directory, the onChange event fires and my code runs. However, if I upload a
new file1.pdf file which overwrites the old file1.pdf, nothing happens. The new
file is truly different and has a new modification date. I read through the
Java class and mod date is how the gateway determines a change. Now, so far am
not actually FTPing a new file in, but rather just coping it in from my local
machine to the server directory via a mapping.
I saw a solution for a similar issue which talked about setting up the onDelete
event b/c the FTP will actually delete then add the file. Does this sound like
a solution?
Issue 2: I had a lot of CFM files that needed to be put into the archive, so I
converted those to PDFs. I then put all of them in my watch directory so my
script would process them. To my surprise, the script would only load 11 files
at a time. So after some tests to confirm the issue and the correct number of
files, I then loaded my batch, 11 files at a time. Any ideas why this would
happen?
My Specs again:
Windows 2003 Server
Coldfusion 8 Enterprise
In my config file:
checking my directory every minute (60000 milliseconds)
only checking for .pdf extension
Set an onAdd and onChange function call, but no onDelete
my onAdd function simply calls my onChange function, passing
in the CFEvent argument that it received
