Hi,
I ran into a couple of compatibility issues that I hope someone can
shed a light on.
1. CFCATCH object seems to be lacking properties I rely upon. I use a
following construct to test for the database availability in
Application.cfc:
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart">
<cfset This.datasource="mydtsrce">
<cftry><!--- Test whether the DB that this application uses is
accessible by selecting some data. --->
<cfquery name="testDB" dataSource="#This.datasource#">
SELECT * FROM users
</cfquery>
<!--- If we get database error, report it to the user, log the
error information, and do not start the application. --->
<cfcatch type="database">
<cfoutput>
This application encountered an error (no database).<br>
Please contact Alexandre Peshansky at 2-4897 or <a
href="mailto:[email protected]";>via email</a>.
</cfoutput>
<cflog file="#This.Name#" type="error" text="#This.datasource#
DB not available. message: #cfcatch.message# Detail: #cfcatch.detail#
Native Error: #cfcatch.NativeErrorCode#">
<cfreturn False>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cffunction>
Under ColdFusion if, for instance, the datasource is not defined, the
log says:
"Error","web-7","04/22/09","10:12:25","IRBAPP","mydtsrce DB not
available. message: Data source mydtsrce could not be found. Detail:
Native Error: 0"
Under OpenBlueDragon I am getting
CFML Runtime Error:
cfcatch.NativeErrorCode doesn't exist.
I did not find it mentioned anywhere.
If someone have any suggestions, even along the lines "Where did you
learn to code like this?! This is how it is done:..." I'll be
grateful.
2. Another (documented) incompatibility I ran afoul of is missing
algorithm CFMX_COMPAT in Encrypt/Decrypt. I need a simple encryption/
decryption with user-supplied character key as part of a simple key-
management mechanism I designed and use extensively. I also need it
to be compatible across application servers, so using BD_DEFAULT is
not an option.
If someone knows of CF implementation of CFMX_COMPAT encryption or has
other suggestions, again, I'll appreciate it.
If anyone is interested in the method, drop me a note - I have a
description written.
Finally, is there a comprehensive compatibility test for
OpenBlueDragon, or will these gotcha!'s pop up as surprises?
