Jeremy, Are talking about Sandbox security....?
I pulled this URLs from the CFDOCS..... http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/Administering_ColdFusion_MX/Security2.html#1116 845 http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/Administering_ColdFusion_MX/Security3.html#1116 021 Looks like Sandbox/Advanced Security is still available.... Also, In regards to variable scoping.....The following docs state that scoping variables hasn't changed.... http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML /Variables7.html#1126062 So I am not sure where you received this information, but the docs state you don't need the prefix..... Thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeremy Ridout Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 4:15 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: CFMX - Did you know... 1) CFMX uses an entirely new security model from CF5 and earlier. Advanced Security is GONE in CFMX. Not deprecated, it's gone. There is a series of new tags for security... cflogin, cfloginuser, cflogout. And there is are several functions to support it as well. 2) CFGRAPH is deprecated in CFMX. It is replaced by a bigger, smarter, faster engine with CFCHART tags. 3) Scoping of all variables is REQUIRED in CFMX. Only the variables scope does not require an explicit named scope. For example, #CFID# will NOT find #Client.CFID#. You can also no longer leave off the scope for form or URL variables and expect CF to locate the variable. It will search the variables scope and then throw an error if the variable name doesnt exist in the variables scope. You now must write #form.thisvar# and #url.thatvar# 4) CFLOCK for shared variables is no longer required. CF is now using Java Data Structures that are thread safe and do not require a cflock when accessing Application, Session, or Server variables. However, your code will not break if you do have a cflock, it's just not required. CFLock is still required to resolve race conditions and when you REALLY want to make a task be single threaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email server is running an evaluation copy of the MailShield anti- spam software.
