RE: MS Works Database

2003-09-18 Thread Jim Davis
Conversions Plus will do many, many formats (including Works 2,3,4 and
Mac) and it's only $70.  It's saved my butt often.

http://www.dataviz.com/products/conversionsplus/

I'm not sure how well it'll work on your file (it does convert - but
sometimes things are lost in the transalation) since I've never used
Works.

It's well worth the money.

What most likely would also work is to wrap it in a function like

#int(myrecord.myvar * 100)#

or else let your database do the calculation

One of my doctors is part of a very large group. Every member of the medical
staff carries around a wireless "clipboard" .. it is really just a laptop
designed to be held and used like a clipboard, or an 8x10 PDA.  The entire
office is digital. No paper charts or records of any kind (except archives).
It's a very cool set up. It's WindowsXP. Full internet access, too.

If medical staff wanted an application they could access from any modern
computer, then Flash would make a good deal of sense.

OT: MS Works Database

2003-09-18 Thread Birgit Pauli-Haack
Hi,

I trying to find out how I can convert a database created with MS
Works in the *.wdb format can be converted in something else,
without having installed MS Works installed on a system.

I have tried Microsoft's site as well as Google and all that turns
up there is that you need to open the file in Works and save it in a
different format. But I also saw that this information is about two
years old, so maybe someone has a solution for the above question...

Regards,

Birgit

This syntax is valid in CFMX, but not in most earlier versions of CF. In
those versions, you can only wrap single variables or functions within pound
signs. You can work around this by using the Evaluate function to evaluate
the expression.

That's an idea too... I like it.  I'm still getting used to thinking in
collections of references...

But implementing the actual objects as simply as possible and
abstracting the complexity to a series of specialized collection is
definitely appealing.  One aspect of this is that we're constantly
trying to come up with new ways to group the data making it easier for
people to find what they're looking for (searching by attributes like
"outdoors" or "family friendly", creating custom lists, etc).
 
> When I think about an event, I don't think of it having multiple times
- I

In this case "performance" may be a better term - but our "events" may
be performances, exhibits, workshops, etc - but it sometimes helps to
think of them as performances.

This is actually a goal (a personal one) for this - I want to be able,
later, to add persistence data storage types easily (different
databases, flat file, etc).  Eventually I would like to spin this system
off as a general purpose large-scale event planning tool so I'd like to
lay the groundwork early.

Yup - CFMX.  We're still on CF 5, actually, but now that our host is
installing 6.1 we're moving up.

This will end being a hybrid at first no matter how I end up - basically
an OO-ish implementation in a procedural wrapper of sorts (I don't have
time to do the entire site over yet).

But I want to get it as close as possible so that I can learn this stuff
if nothing else.

That's something I may do soon... this is a pretty big event around
here.  One "nice to have" desire is to provide consumable feeds to the
local media outlets.  I had been doing this in a really primitive
manner, but web services make infinitely more sense.

Definitely.  Lots to think about.

RE: Jrun4 and CFMX

2003-09-18 Thread Stacy Young
I started JSP development at the same time I started CF. I gravitated to
CF because I was moving a hell of a lot quicker (proficiency wise). I
still use both to this day because our projects demand it...but most
JSP/Java developers here are not all that interested in CFML...even for
the presentation level. I think for many, once you're deep down one road
there's a natural resistance to want to trace back and check out other
options...but the ones that *do* do that...have the advantage...their
technology choices in each instance are more objective.

Just my personal observation/opinion...

RE: Can anyone explain why this code is behaving like it is?

Thanks, Ryan...

The CFOUTPUT's were causing the problem.  I guess I just had it in my head
that the
variables would not be processed correctly without the CFOUTPUT's there.
Never thought to take them out...I guess it's kinda like #'s:  For so many
of us
it's "the more the merrier!"

Oh, well...live and learn.

And, yes, I do read up on the syntax quite a bit...I had my nose in a book
all day trying
to sort out the issue...but sometimes you just can't find what you need
without experiencing it...
and with help from friends...

RE: Can anyone explain why this code is behaving like it is?

Hi, Mosh.

Yes, the CFOUTPUT's were the problem...leaving them out solved the issue.
Thanks for the tip...

RE: OO modeling Hell

2003-09-18 Thread Shawn Grover
Sounds like you're on the right track.

Regarding your sample approach below, I'd have to say that this depends on
how you want to code it, and what the requirements of your application are.
You could have one event object that contains an array/collection of time
slots and venues, or you can have an array/collection that has a single
event which in turn has a single timeslot and venue.

When I think about an event, I don't think of it having multiple times - I
think about each time being a separate event, and the schedule is a
collection of individual events.  However, that's me.  This sort of thing is
the type that will spawn many different opinions, all of them correct in one
way or another.  The bottom line is how YOU think about an event, and what
the application requires of the event object.  The rest is just a different
approach to implementation.

>From the OO perspective, you have objects and collections.  Collections are
in fact objects, but sometimes it's easier to think of them as being a
little different.  A collection is used whereever you can have more than
one.  i.e. An event can have many timeslots, so the event object would have
a collection to hold the timeslots (normally a plain array will do the
trick, but this really depends on your coding language).

Your application sounds to me like your object approach should be something
like this:

Schedule Object (Collection of timeslots)
  - Timeslot object
  - Event Object
  - Venue Object
  - List Events By Time method
  - List Venues by event method
  - List Times for event method
  - Add Event method (i.e. Schedule.AddEvent(object Timeslot, object Event,
object Venue)  )
  - Remove Event method (i.e. Schedule.RemoveEvent(object Timeslot, object
Event)  )
etc.

Try not to duplicate your data if you don't need to.  Having an array of
event objects in your timeslot AND venue objects would be a management pain.
Probably simpler to either allow duplicate timeslot objects for the same
time period, or go with a collection of events that can have a timeslot
property.  Another option is to create different objects depending on how
you are looking at the data - If I'm looking at things from an events point
of view, then an events collection with the event object having time and
venue properties makes sense.  If I'm looking at things from a venue
perspective, then a venue object with a time collection, and each time
having an event object makes sense.  However, this last option may take much
longer to implement.

When I made reference to "query your data", the actual location of the data
doesn't matter - if it's in memory, then your functions/methods will be
written to use the memory, if it's in a database, the functions/methods will
be written to use the database.  That's the nice thing about OO - you don't
really care how a function works, just how to call it (it's interface), and
what it returns.  This buys you a great deal of flexibility.  For instance,
you mentioned you are working with memory based data.  If down the road you
needed to put your data into a database, you change the corresponding
functions, but not change their interface (when you can), and no other
changes should be needed.  The display routines likely would never need to
be touched.

Are you developing this in CFMX?  If so, you can't do a FULL implementation
of OO principles yet (it'd be nice if MX natively supported raising events
between objects), but you can get real close now.  If you are developing in
something else, like VB.Net, you have other options open to you for how your
objects work. (different error handling routines, raising events, handling
events, etc.)

Once you get thinking in OO terms (and this IS a shift in thinking from
procedural languages), life will get easier, and you will have other options
available to you.  Like converting your CFMX objects into web services.
(yes, I know you can do this sort of thing with procedural languages too,
but I find it's much easier to understand if you understand OO principles).

So, the bottom line is to look at your application in an OO manner, and
decide which object model makes the most sense for you.  I can't tell you
this, but hopefully I've helped you understand things enough to be able to
make the choice.

HTH.

Shawn

Subject: RE: OO modeling Hell

I'm getting it I think... one point is that an event can have many times
and venues.  Physically you might have this:

Donald Knack, "The Junkman"
12pm-1pm-   Hynes Convention Center
2pm-3pm -   Hynes Convention Center
4pm-5pm -   Hynes Convention Center
7pm-10pm-   Boston Common Bandstand
12am-12:10am-   Boston Common Frogpond

In the above example there is one "Event", 5 "TimeSlots" and 3 "Venues".

The "Event" object should link to multiple timeslot/venue pairs.

Firmware was only ever a distributor -- certainly we've never relied upon them for 
support in any capacity.  If you are a reseller there are two other distributors in 
Australia (Express Data and Scholastic) and if you're just looking for product or 
product support the partner network here would be more than happy to help.

Isn't it true that the die-hard CFML coders are just as fervent?  The same goes
for the C and VB coders, right.
You use the tools that are easiest for you, even if in the end, the final result
is the same or similar.

When you were trying to use the CF Administrator and the file browser didn't
work, were you doing that from the server console?

In any case, just installing a JVM won't affect CFMX in the least. You'd
have to configure CFMX to use that JVM.

Yes it is :-) For one of my applications at least, MySQL's 
inability to scan indexes in both directions quite literally 
kills it (who cares that MySQL is 2 times faster on 80% of the 
queries, when it is 200 times slower on the rest).

On the other hand, we have people that get great performance from 
MySQL:

So the conclusion is the same as always:

There is no point in trusting somebody elses benchmarks (not even 
mine :-), you need to run your own benchmarks, designed for your 
own application and with your own dataset.

BTW, I am convinced that if you take out the "nobody ever got 
fired for buying Oracle" factor for people solliciting 
information about databases on this list, it pretty much becomes 
"nobody ever buys Oracle".
(Not because Oracle isn't great (it is), but because when you 
really need the features you should have a DBA to make that 
decision for you instead of sollicit opinions on this list.)

The Access/MS SQL Server conversion might be extra difficult with 
booleans in Access, but that is an MS SQL Server shortcomming. 
The problem is that MS SQL Server does not recognize the SQL 
literals TRUE and FALSE which Access recognizes, but other 
databases do not suffer from this shortcomming.

Re: RE: OO modeling Hell

2003-09-18 Thread ksuh
Here's a quick stab at the problem:

If you wanted to know what events where being held at a specific venue, you could 
write a method in the venue object that would return event objects at that venue.  If 
you wanted to know what events were being held for a particular venue at a particular 
time, you'd create another method that would take a timeslot object and then give back 
a bunch of event objects.

You'd then iterate through the events, and then get their timeslot object.

The timeslot object could be somewhat trickier.  You could make a base timeslot class, 
and derive timeslot classes for each time that you'd mentioned.  But I'm actually not 
sure how "correct" this approach would be.

For insertion, you could create:

event.add(object venue, object timeslot);

venue.add(object event, object timeslot);

But if I were you, I'd wait for Sean Corfield to pipe up :)

I'm getting it I think... one point is that an event can have many times
and venues.  Physically you might have this:

Donald Knack, "The Junkman"
12pm-1pm-   Hynes Convention Center
2pm-3pm -   Hynes Convention Center
4pm-5pm -   Hynes Convention Center
7pm-10pm-   Boston Common Bandstand
12am-12:10am-   Boston Common Frogpond

In the above example there is one "Event", 5 "TimeSlots" and 3 "Venues".

The "Event" object should link to multiple timeslot/venue pairs.

My initial idea was to have a "Performances" (or perhaps "Showings")
property in "Event" that was a two dimensional array of TimeSlot/Venue
references.

Sound good?

Sort of... but one of the major aspects of the system is getting all
events at a venue or by time.  So, depending on the work being done at
any time the "primary" object may be Venue, TimeSlot or Event.

This was the idea behind having an array of Event references within
"Venue" and "TimeSlot".

No good?

Are you saying the object data (the event objects) or the database
directly?  In the procedural model I would definitely query a table -
but I'm trying to get away from implementation dependencies in the

If it would help the actual system I'm converting is here:

http://www.firstnight.org/Content/NewYears/Artists/Index.cfm

This is the eighth year I've done the site so I've got a very strong
handle on the business requirements but also some very ingrained
procedural concepts for building it.  ;^)

The current system works well, but lacks some features (for example
currently there is a one-to-one relationship between Venue and Event so
and example like the one above can't be constructed without
duplication).

Thanks for your time and patience.

RE: OO modeling Hell

2003-09-18 Thread Shawn Grover
In this case then...

A specific event object would have a property for venue, and another for
time slot.  These properties would be of type Venue and type Timeslot
respectively (that is, Event.Time would be a timeslot object based on the
timeslot class, and Event.Venue would be a venue object based on the venue
class). Try not to use the same name for both your properties and your class
definitions, otherwise you might get errors, and cause confusion.

When you look at a venue object, it doesn't really have a direct correlation
to a specific event, or time, so will not have properties for these
elements.  Same with a Timeslot object - there is no real direct correlation
between a venue and an event, so no properties for these here either.  Yes,
a timeslot can be associated with a venue and/or an event, but the timeslot
iteself doesn't really care.

So, I'd make a generic timeslot object (with start time, end time, and any
needed methods), a generic venue object (with location and any needed
methods), and then an event object with properites for the event details
including timeslot and venue.

When it comes to listing items by timeslots or venues, this would be a
specialized query of your data.  Perhaps the Timeslot object could have a
method "PrintSchedule" that will do whatever is needed to create a schedule,
but scheduling is a time related function so logically should be with the
Timeslot object.  On the other hand, a Venue might also have a
"PrintSchedule" method that would list only the events for that particular
venue.  The implementation details are, of course, best left to you.  But I
post some possibilities here in hopes it might help you determine where
things should go.

I should make a disclaimer though - I don't know the specific details of
your requirements, so my examples might be completely off...

HTH.

Subject: RE: OO modeling Hell


I think I misrepresented my problem.

The objects are "virtual" - they have no database access themselves
(this is handled, as you suggest, by separate implementation classes,
which handle all persistent data access).

The problem I'm having is that in the procedural world I'm coming from I
would have a big run which returned, for example, all the events taking
place at a Venue.

In the object world, after all this stuff has been instantiated and
cached, I'm having trouble connecting the objects together.  In this
specific case an Event can have several TimeSlots each at its own Venue,
a Venue can have many events and a Timeslot can have many Events.

In use all of this information will actually be stored as cached objects
in memory - there will be no DB calls.  This is possible because of the
(relatively) small size of the total dataset (about 200 events at some
70 venues) and should increase performance significantly.

My old version of the system simple loaded all of the data into
persistent (application scoped) queries and the application pulled it
from there using QofQ.

Thinking in objects I'm not sure how to translate that...

Am I confusing everybody else as much as I am myself?  ;^)

Thanks but I'm looking to improve performance from the current tag 
that's being used CF_ResendUndeliverable.

RE: CF 5 ReSend Mail...

2003-09-18 Thread Dan Phillips \(CFXHosting.com\)
I don't have the script with me but what I have done in the past is
write a simple template using CFFILE that grabs all the files from the
Underliverable folder and dumps them into the Spool folder for another
attempt at sending them. 

If you just want to clean out the old messages, setup a scheduled task
that will delete the files on a weekly basis (daily, monthly, whatever).
I do this for mail and old server error logs.

RE: Jrun4 and CFMX

2003-09-18 Thread Bryan F. Hogan
Thanks for your reply. I see many people using JSP all the time, and I
wonder what the big deal is. I say to myself if they just knew what CFML
could do to their development. But these people are die-hard scripters and
they stick to JSP. Other than J2EE, does JSP have anything over CFML? I know
all of the selling points for CFML, what are they for JSP, leaving out J2EE?

Subject: Re: Jrun4 and CFMX


Oh, ok.  In that case, I'd go with CFMX in a heartbeat.  I haven't
benched the speed differences between JSP and CFMX 6.1 for simliar
pieces of work (I have more important things to do, like playing Knights
of the Old Republic), but MX is far, far easier to work with and has a
much cleaner development process.  Even if you're familiar with Java, it
makes writing HTML/XML/whatever much easier to follow and read if you're
using CFML.

You can clean up a lot of JSP's syntax by using taglibs to encapsulate
bits of functionality, but you can also import those taglibs into MX and
use them in exactly the same way.

A previous job I had used JSP across almost all of our website, which
was nice and fast, but since our programming and designing wings of the
web team were separate, the designers had daily questions about how to
push their layouts into JSP, since they had no programming background.
Some of this was ameliorated by taglibs, but looking back, it's the
perfect solution for CFMX.

I hope that helps answer your question, Bryan.

XML Documentation

2003-09-18 Thread Jim Campbell
We're currently in very early stages (read: no work yet) of rebuilding 
our entire stable of interrelated websites to take advantage of MX 6.1 
and J2EE (we're currently using CF5 only).

The myriad exciting bits of a blank-slate project like this aside, 
there's one aspect of it (and maybe more in the future) I wanted to 
bounce off of CF-Talk.

We're looking at having structured XML documentation for our 
templates/CFC's, sort of like what you'd find in Fusebox/Mach-II.  I 
figure we can import a namespace for our documentation structure and 
reference it that way - and customize DWMX to make writing those tags easy.

Well, I figure that's only half of the way there.  We're also evaluating 
using an EJB layer to help structure and speed up our data access and 
move the bulk of our "business logic" to a single layer.  Now, due to 
the lovely Javadoc, we'd be able to have a terrific, browsable API once 
we're all done of methods and interfaces for that section.

My question (and I did have one!) is, has anyone written or come across 
a Javadoc-like "aggregator" for structured XML documentation - something 
that would produce a browsable API manual?  The basic method behind 
something seems fairly straightforward - have a spider move through the 
various templates and create an HTML file based off the found 
documentation tags.  Naturally, the planning is more complicated - you'd 
have to determine how to flag interrelated tags, denote parent/child 
relationships and the like, but I think the payoff for that would be 
fantastic, especially in regards to bringing someone new into the team - 
they'd have immediate access to easily readable, cogent documentaion 
that didn't consist of trying to follow a thousand  tags.  It 
sounds like something that would be a lot of fun to write.

Thoughts?  Warnings?  Screams of Pain?

Help! Inserting WDDX into the database

2003-09-18 Thread Brook Davies
I have a WDDX packet that, no matter what I try, generates an error when I 
try to insert it into a SQL 7.0 DB. Any ideas?

My Query looks like this:




insert into LeadDistr_members (
 usr_id,
 form_id,
 LeadDistrID,
 member_name,
 priority,
 wddxdata
 )
 values
 (
 ,
 ,
 ,
 ,
 ,
 '#tempWddxData2#'



I end up with an error like the one below. Also below is the outputted SQL 
Statement from the debugger:

==

I've spent an hour trying everything I can think of. Now I am stumped.

Parsing XML in ColdFusion - Help!!

2003-09-18 Thread Bailey, Neal
Hello everyone... 
 
This is my first post to the list... 
 
Hopefully someone here can help me out. I'm pretty new to XML and I need to
parse an xml page so that I can extract the information out of it and
include this information into a different page using ColdFusion MX 6.1. 
 
I think my main problem is just understating how it all works using
ColdFusion. I cannot fine many resources on the net that can help explain
how to do this. All I need to do is extract very little data out of a XML
file. Almost like a news feed. 
 
Does anyone know of any useful resources that explain Parsing XML using
ColdFusion MX 6.1?
 
The file I'm trying to parse is below. The only information I need to
extract is the Name, TagLine and Details. I then want to show this
information on a new page. If possible can some one give me an example of
how to do this? 
 
Thanks,
Neal

That's main question.

Locally you can use the FileExists() function to determine the existence
of any file.  Remotely (as long as the resource is HTTP-accessible) you
can use CFHTTP to retrieve the resource - examining the HTTP return code
will tell you if it's there or not.

Having CFMX available on top of your JRun (or any J2EE server) is the

ColdFusion does not look up MX records for sending mail although you can
specify the server in the tag (however, most servers will not accept the mail
directly for several reasons including no "Received" header and usually the
HELO does not match RDNS, etc.)  ColdFusion version 6.0 and lower only allowed
you to specify a single email server but 6.1 allows for multiple servers.

Rick:

What are the CFOUTPUT tags doing in your CFSET tag?  Shouldn't this just be:



My guess is that your SESSION.cart.amount variable is really equal to:

11.85

and when that string gets spat out to the browser in the error message, your
browser is hiding the CFOUTPUT tags because it assumes they are HTML tags
that it is unfamiliar with.  Check the HTML source code.

Re: Jrun4 and CFMX

2003-09-18 Thread Jim Campbell
Oh, ok.  In that case, I'd go with CFMX in a heartbeat.  I haven't 
benched the speed differences between JSP and CFMX 6.1 for simliar 
pieces of work (I have more important things to do, like playing Knights 
of the Old Republic), but MX is far, far easier to work with and has a 
much cleaner development process.  Even if you're familiar with Java, it 
makes writing HTML/XML/whatever much easier to follow and read if you're 
using CFML.

You can clean up a lot of JSP's syntax by using taglibs to encapsulate 
bits of functionality, but you can also import those taglibs into MX and 
use them in exactly the same way.

A previous job I had used JSP across almost all of our website, which 
was nice and fast, but since our programming and designing wings of the 
web team were separate, the designers had daily questions about how to 
push their layouts into JSP, since they had no programming background.  
Some of this was ameliorated by taglibs, but looking back, it's the 
perfect solution for CFMX.

I hope that helps answer your question, Bryan.

You are adding the string "#Evaluate(Form.S4x6 * 3.95)#" as the

"11.85"

You probably just cant seen the CFOUTPUT tags in the browser because they are seen as

RE: OO modeling Hell

2003-09-18 Thread Shawn Grover
I think you are on the right track but missed the business rules end of OO.

I would do the same as you - create objects for dealing with my underlying
tables.  I call these objects "data access components", and normally store
them in a different folder called data.  Now, you have the concept that an
event, venue, and a time slot are related.  This is a business rule.  In
this case, I create another object that will implement the business rules.
In your case, I might call the new object an Event object, but store it in a
different folder or name it differently so that I know it is NOT a data
access component.  This object would then do any application specific
validation, and processing.  The tough part with this is that you have to
make a choice where your transactions take place - in the database, or in CF
(or whatever language you're using).  If you opt for placing the
transactions in the database (I'd recommend this where possible), then the
call to the stored proc should happen within one of your data access
components - the business rule component should not be dealing directly with
the database, that is not it's role.

Conceptually, you might end up with something like this:

EVENT Rules
  - Data Access Components
  - Event data access component
  - Venue data access component
  - Timeslot data access component
  - Specialized data access component (if needed).
  - Business functions
  - Save Event (-which might call individual functions on the member
data components)

Not sure if this is entirely clear, but hopefully it get's you moving in the
right direction...

Subject: OO modeling Hell


Sorry - thismay be semi-off topic (but then again it may be semi-on
topic - possibly even flat-out on topic!)

I'm working on modeling an existing procedural system (first built in CF
4) to CFMX and want to implement "correctly" (as possible) in an OO/CFC
framework.

I'm doing the static model now and have run into a conceptual problem.
Hoping for some opinions.

The system is an event planner for a large, single-day festival.
Stripping it down to the problem domain we have a database model with
three tables:

1) "Events": All the events taking place.

2) "Venue": All the locations that events can take place at.

3) "TimeSlots": All of the tied begin/end times for events.  For example
"10:00-14:00", "10:00-11:00", "13:00-15:00", etc

In the DB this works well.  "Events" and "TimeSlots" are joined with
"EventsToTimeSlots" (many to many).  You can then query easily based on
start-time, end-time, or duration.  "EventsToTimeSlots" also links to
"Venues".  This allows an event to occur at any time and each time to be
located at a distinct venue.

So we may have a dance troupe appearing at 8pm-10pm at the Boston Ballet
bulding, then from 11pm-midnight at Boston Common.

When converting this to an object model I naturally began by considering
"Event", "Venue" and "TimeSlot" as objects.  (Right?)  My issue is how
to deal with the three-part join.

I have, for example, an array in each TimeSlot object containing a
references to all the events taking place.  I can then loop through all
the timeslots and collect all the events taking place at any time or of
a certain duration.  Sorting this kind of return may be a problem, but
not (I think) big one.

I can also have an array of references in each Venue object to events
taking place there.  Lastly (I'm guessing) can have a two-dimensional
array of TimeSlot and Venue references in each Event linking each
timeslot to a venue.

Is this the best way to do this?

Should I instead some "sub object" that directly represents my join
table that contains a reference to an Event, TimeSlot and Venue?  Maybe
called "Schedule" or something?

Or should each TimeSlot object contain a single reference to an Event
and Venue and just have a lot of duplicate StartTime/EndTimes?  (I don't
think I would as it would be more difficult to present the details of a
single event.)

Does this whole "Timeslot" idea just not fit in OO as well as it does in
the relational system?

In the end the model I want should allow each event object to quickly
get the venue and time for each performance (perhaps that goes without
saying) but I also want to be able to easily list "All events at Venue",
"All events at TimeSlot" and "All events at StartTime/EndTime".

Thanks in adavance,

Jim Davis

The JVM was installed on the Server, not my desktop client.  Also all this

If you install CFMX Enterprise or CFMX Standard by themselves, they come
with a subset of JRun - enough of JRun to run CFMX, basically. If you
install CFMX for J2EE on top of an existing J2EE server, like JRun, you can
use all of the functionality offered by that server.

For example, JRun allows you to run any number of server instances, and you
can install CFMX on each of them, allowing you to run separate instances of
CFMX on the same machine. If one fails, it wouldn't affect the others.

Never said that I did need it, just wondering so I know.

"You can do the same jobs with both"

Save from EJB, etc, what does JSP the language have over CFMX if it does
have something over CFMX? If they both can do the same job, why would one
choose JRun over CFMX? Speaking of those that do choose JRun over CFMX.

It may be flippant - but I've said "if you don't know whether or not you

In this case JRUN will let you code to the J2EE development standards
(EJB, JSP, etc) while CFMX will let you code CFML and take advantage of
Java classes.  You can do the same jobs with both - but if you want to
mix then you'll need JRUN (or some other J2EE server).

As others have mentioned, when you install CFMX, it includes a JVM for its
own use. This JVM won't be used by the browser, though; it sounds to me like
your browser lacked its own JVM and you had to install one for it.

This doesn't have anything to do with mappings, though, and I suspect
there's something else going on.

Is there a reason why the file you're including has a .js extension? In the
past, I've included files with various extensions without difficulty, but I
haven't tried to use CFINCLUDE to include a file with a .js extension with
CFMX 6.1. I don't think this has anything to do with your problem either,

Can anyone explain why this code is behaving like it is?

2003-09-18 Thread Rick Faircloth
This stuff is driving me crazy!  All day spent to get almost nowhere...

Anyway...(deep breath)...

Quick question:  Does taking a number from a formfield and putting it into
a "session.cart.amount" variable automatically turn it into a string
variable?

I'm sending a number from a formfield and in testing the amount from the
formfield,
I can multiply it, format it using DollarFormat, etc... behaves like a
number should.

But once the formfield variable is placed in the Session Query as
session.cart.amount,
it behaves like a string...I can't use DollarFormat...it returns an error
that the variable session.cart.amount
has to be a number...if I use DollarFormat(Val(session.cart.amount)), the
value of the variable is 0...zero...
it becomes a valueless string...

I've haven't worked with the "session-type" queries created with
Session.Cart = QueryNew etc., before
and I guess I'm missing something...this should be simple stuff...but...

If anyone has any suggestions about why this is going on, I'd be grateful
for the help...

Rick


Excerpts from the code:

The formfield:



 0
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7

 10





Sent to another page for processing:










#Form.PhotoFileName#")>
#Form.S4x6#")>

#Evaluate(Form.S4x6 * 3.95)#")>

#DollarFormat(Session.Cart.Amount)#


-Note: CURRENTLY, ON THE LINE ABOVE, I GET THE FOLLOWING
ERROR:

Parameter 1 of function DollarFormat which is now "11.85" must be a number

I've tried using Val to create a number out of what must be a string, but
that will create a variable with a value of 0 (zero)...

RE: Expandpath() is returning the wrong path.

2003-09-18 Thread Ian Skinner
??? You lost me?

Is not #expandpath("/")# supposed to return the absolute directory of the
webroot that the template is in?  For example, if the webroot of a website
is defined in IIS to be e:/intranet and a file located at
e:/intranet/includes/common/header.cfm runs the function  #expandpath("/")#,
the value returned should be "E:/intranet".  Then you should be able to use
this value in tags and functions that require an absolute path such as
.

I have used constructs such as this many times since CF4.5 days.  But, on
one MX box it caused me a problem because the function wasn't returning the
absolute path of the webroot for the website the template was in,
("e:/intranet") in my example, rather it returned the absolute path of the
CF stand-alone web server webroot ("c:/cfusionMX") by default I believe.  A
directory that the template was not in, or any templates for that matter.  

I also remember, finding a technote the discussed this, and modifying an XML
file to correct the behavior.  Basically something about the default order
of searches when multiple web roots exits, or something along those lines.

I thought disabling the stand-alone server would solve this problem, but it
has not.

I just can't remember either the technote nor the XML file, and I not
finding in searches of the TechNotes.  I was hoping somebody could fill-in
the gaps in my memory.

OO modeling Hell

2003-09-18 Thread Jim Davis
Sorry - thismay be semi-off topic (but then again it may be semi-on
topic - possibly even flat-out on topic!)

I'm working on modeling an existing procedural system (first built in CF
4) to CFMX and want to implement "correctly" (as possible) in an OO/CFC
framework.

I'm doing the static model now and have run into a conceptual problem.
Hoping for some opinions.

The system is an event planner for a large, single-day festival.
Stripping it down to the problem domain we have a database model with
three tables:

1) "Events": All the events taking place.

2) "Venue": All the locations that events can take place at.

3) "TimeSlots": All of the tied begin/end times for events.  For example
"10:00-14:00", "10:00-11:00", "13:00-15:00", etc

In the DB this works well.  "Events" and "TimeSlots" are joined with
"EventsToTimeSlots" (many to many).  You can then query easily based on
start-time, end-time, or duration.  "EventsToTimeSlots" also links to
"Venues".  This allows an event to occur at any time and each time to be
located at a distinct venue.

So we may have a dance troupe appearing at 8pm-10pm at the Boston Ballet
bulding, then from 11pm-midnight at Boston Common.

When converting this to an object model I naturally began by considering
"Event", "Venue" and "TimeSlot" as objects.  (Right?)  My issue is how
to deal with the three-part join.

I have, for example, an array in each TimeSlot object containing a
references to all the events taking place.  I can then loop through all
the timeslots and collect all the events taking place at any time or of
a certain duration.  Sorting this kind of return may be a problem, but
not (I think) big one.

I can also have an array of references in each Venue object to events
taking place there.  Lastly (I'm guessing) can have a two-dimensional
array of TimeSlot and Venue references in each Event linking each
timeslot to a venue.

Is this the best way to do this?

Should I instead some "sub object" that directly represents my join
table that contains a reference to an Event, TimeSlot and Venue?  Maybe
called "Schedule" or something?

Or should each TimeSlot object contain a single reference to an Event
and Venue and just have a lot of duplicate StartTime/EndTimes?  (I don't
think I would as it would be more difficult to present the details of a
single event.)

Does this whole "Timeslot" idea just not fit in OO as well as it does in
the relational system?

In the end the model I want should allow each event object to quickly
get the venue and time for each performance (perhaps that goes without
saying) but I also want to be able to easily list "All events at Venue",
"All events at TimeSlot" and "All events at StartTime/EndTime".

Thanks in adavance,

Jim Davis

PopChart from Corda has worked very well for us for several 
years. Highly recommended.

Jrun4 and CFMX

2003-09-18 Thread Bryan F. Hogan
I've asked this question before but I'm still unclear about it. In was cases
would you choose Jrun4 over CFMX. Can't they both do the same thing? Even if
there is something in JRun that CFMX doesn't natively do, can't CFMX be
extended to do it?

What is the advantages of using JRun over CFMX?

RE: Expandpath() is returning the wrong path.

2003-09-18 Thread Ian Skinner
We have a mapping set as you suggested, it does not solve the problem as the
problem is unrelated to mappings.

I am trying to find the absolute path of the webroot (/) of a template by
using #expandpath("/")# as shown in the documentation for expandpath.  Not
using a server mapping as one might use in a  tag.

Re: cfmail with mx records

2003-09-18 Thread Howie Hamlin
ColdFusion does not look up MX records for sending mail although you can specify the 
server in the tag (however, most servers will not accept the mail directly for several 
reasons including no "Received" header and usually the HELO does not match RDNS, etc.) 
 ColdFusion version 6.0 and lower only allowed you to specify a single email server 
but 6.1 allows for multiple servers.

As for an MX tag - we have a free one here:

But expandPath() only knows about the ColdFusion root - it can't 
possibly know about the web server root.

Yes, RDS is required for the browser applets in CFMX Admin (but,

No, mappings work fine on all of our servers - and we have RDS disabled

RE: Opera's handling of radio buttons

2003-09-18 Thread Mosh Teitelbaum
Kevin:

I wasn't arguing that code modifications are unnecessary due to
(non)comformance to specs.  Of course, I agree with you and Deanna that,
given how Opera seems to handle this situation, extra code is required.

I was arguing as to whether or not Opera is in compliance with the specs.
As you said, if you can assume that a blank value is no value at all, then
Opera is, in fact, in compliance.  I would argue that, with respect to radio
buttons, a radio control (i.e., the set of all radio buttons with the same
name) has no value only when none of the radio buttons within that control
have been selected.  However, a selected radio button that has an empty
value still has a value.

This is just my understanding of the specs.  I guess the real question boils
down to whether or not SGML CDATA is allowed to be blank.  And since I'm not
willing to pony up the cash needed to buy the appropriate specs from ISO,
I'm going to leave it with a "this is my opinion, do with it what you will."

RE: Recursion and Scope problem?

2003-09-18 Thread Andre Turrettini
basically, you call the function once and the vars are declared in the
global scope, when that function calls itself, it redeclares them again in
that same global scope, so they are overwritten.  So, when the top function
continues, its variables are no longer the ones it set.  Using the var
statement simply keeps each declaration seperate.  Make sense?

RE: Graphing Solutions Beyond CFGraph

2003-09-18 Thread Hagan, Ryan Mr (Contractor ACI)
I've used Corda PopCharts which is, in essence, a COM object.  It works
really well.  I've also used a PHP solution called JP Graph which I can't
recommend highly enough.

Expandpath() is returning the wrong path.

2003-09-18 Thread Ian Skinner
Let's try this in the correct forum.

I have an expandpath("/") and it is returning the path of the ColdFusion
standalone web server web-root (c:/cfusionmx/wwwroot) rather then the
correct web root of the IIS website (d:/websites/bloodsource).  I remember
solving this recently on a different box, but I can't remember which XML
file I tweaked, or the Macromedia Technote that told me what to do.  

Anybody know what I am talking about and can you fill in the holes in my
memory.

Thanks.

HI,

I'm reading in a file using . When I make modifications and save the file back to the 
server

the file to DOS format.

How can I get my file to save in DOS format. These messes up other applications that

This is my save syntax:

Builder.com great CF article

2003-09-18 Thread Mike Brunt
There is a very good article on Builder.com re CFMX and in particular 6.1.  This part 
is very true IMHO "but with the full reconstruction of the engine, CFMX was 
essentially a version 1.0 product. When you consider this, it is truly amazing that 
everything worked as well as it did."

It is really worth the read here -

Re: MySQL and performance [Was: Re: Urgent: Performance Help]

2003-09-18 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
There are plenty of "full-blown apps" that use MySQL. Some apps simply don't
need transactional support. Some don't need views. Some don't need triggers.
Some don't need stored procs. Some need all of them, some none.

I think the whole "free" issue for open source is missing the point -- in no
way is it "free". There's learning costs, possibly transition costs (eg
Access to MySQL) but that's true of any technology you roll out for the
first time. MS-SQL has costs, not just the upfront $$$ for the license.
There's training, admin, etc. With MySQL (and other oss software), you get
open source code -- no more, no less.

I happily steer clients towards MSDE for small projects if their application
is likely to need the capabilities of SQL-Server, since that's a pretty
smooth upgrade path. It's "free" too.

As far as PostgreSQL and MySQL, they're certainly different animals. I do a
lot of mixed development (Win/Linux) and don't like compiling Postgres
distros (or running under VMWare, etc) so I lean towards MySQL since it's
easy to roll out in heterogeneous environments. Plus I do a lot more data
warehousing and reporting systems, where MySQL's strengths shine.

My data center has 3 boxes running MySQL and 1 running MS-SQL. The last
corporatin I worked for had 24 MS-SQL and no anything else. The current gig
has 2 MS-SQL and 3 MySQL boxes. Go figure :)

John Paul Ashenfelter

We have been using Corda's PopCharts here at Baylor Health Care System for
quite some time, and it has proven to work out great over the enterprise. It
has a very robust engine and a fairly intuitive chart builder application.
It works with .NET, CF, Java, ASP very well. You can check it out at

Thanks to all who responded.

Jeff Howden's and Jon Hall's interfaces are excellent. I may use them. I'll
work on the fine tuning the interface later. What I'm primarily interested
in is the SQL reorganizing.

I supposed that a "scheduled reindexing" is what I'm looking for. I'm
looking that up now (I've never done that). The db I'll be using for this
will either be access or MySQL.

But CFMX *requires* a JVM in order to run at all and when you install 
CFMX, it installs a JVM for you (CFMX 6.1 installs Sun's JRE 1.4.2 for 
example). It sounds like some bizarre configuration problem on your 
server - server mappings should not require any additional setup, they 
should just work.

As for the directory browse applets in the CF Admin, that's a separate 
issue - for example, they don't work on Mac OS X (I don't remember why 
but it is mentioned in the Release Notes and/or the Known Issues list) 
but mappings still work just fine on OS X.

Alot of folks say use MySQL because it's free.  The problem I have with that
is that you have to write extra code to make up for what it's missing (i.e.
views, triggers, stored procs).  So that drives up development cost and code
maintenance costs...so free isn't so free.

Granted if it's used in ceratian situation as John Paul mentioned...then
sure...go for itbut for full-blown apps...I'm not sold...PostgreSQL
looks much better to me in that arena (although you'll still have to pry SQL
Server from my cold dead hands) ;-)
