RE: fusebox training
So there's not an over-abundance of fusebox classes available. That'sgood to know... Anybody here been to either Hal's or TeraTech's andcould tell me what the class size was like? Might be useful inestimating demand. Here at Webapper we have been using Fusebox since version 1.0 and have built several applications.Two were fairly large totaling over 2 years work for a large Energy Company (no not Enron!).They like Fusebox because it enables them to cross-fertilize developers and they find the maintainability costs are lower.Oh hey, I did some work for No Not Enron. Although that was beforethey changed their name -- back then they were called MCI. ;P With Fusebox 4.0 and Mach-II the extended use of XML does make using Fusebox for other than ColdFusion, easier.Although there is already a far well trodden use of Fusebox in PHP apps. I would love to see how onTap and Fusebox could work together-integrate. Those are my thoughts.I haven't had a close enough look at FB4 yet (just haven't had thetime yet).It's an interesting thought because I remember you mentioning thepossibility of integration between the onTap framework and Mach-II andthinking I need to learn about Mach-II, but it didn't occur to me atthe time to really think about integration between FB and onTap...Now that I've given it some consideration, I definately see thepossibility of the two frameworks coexisting in the same directorystructure, and FB apps taking advantage of some of the onTaparchitecture like management of custom tags and function libraries,datasource management, etc. I was going to provide an explanation ofhow or why here, but I decided instead to just put it on my blog:http://www.turnkey.to/ontap/docs/blog.cfms. isaac dealey 972-490-6624team macromedia volunteerhttp://www.macromedia.com/go/teamchief architect, tapestry cmshttp://products.turnkey.toonTap is open sourcehttp://www.turnkey.to/ontap [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: how many?
I really doubt that the fact that it's a 32-bit system has anything todo with it.For one thing the number 32 only needs 6 binary places torepresent it.;^) The bit function may be limited (as it concerns bit math) but notsomething like recursion - for example on a 32 bit system I can recursedown more than 32 levels in CF (or in C or in Java or in other databasesystems).You often see numbers that relate to bit math and registersize in programs (2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,etc) - but that's an indicationof binary math and register size. In the case of the recursion of Stored Procedures in SQL 2000 it's justa nice round figure.Small enough not to cause performance issues, butlarge enough that it's rarely an implementation barrier.

Retrofit user login/validation
I've got to move a fairly extensive Intranet web site away from a company'soffice network where the site is protected using Windows ACLs and users loggedin agains an NT domain.My choices are basically 1) continue to use ACLs andcreate a new domain (or use local user accounts) on the web server and create asecond 'remote' account for each employee, or 2) retrofit a CF/session/db basedvalidation scheme to the Intranet site.There are actually some other options such as using Radius against a Radiusserver at the home office, placing a DC at the datacenter that syncs with thehome DC, opening a VPN from the web server back to the corporate network,solely for login validation.These tend to get increasingly involved and alsoopen up some rather sticky security problems.Is it possible to add in a CF session based validation scheme to the sitepurely by implementing it within application.cfm?There are many hundreds ofCF templates located on this site and just not enough time to modify them allto add in validation template-by-template.Secondly, while 99+% of the site is CF based, there is some content that iseither HTML or documents such as Word PDF that are reports such as salesfigures, etc. that are highly sensitive.How can a CF session based system beextended to protect that content?

Re:How can i test for this?
This syntax won't work either... it would have to beisDefined(authTest) which would check for the existsance of a variablewhich matches the value of the string authTest instead ofisdefined(authTest) which in this case will always evaluate truesince you've just defined the variable authTest on the previousline.The reason why isdefined() is producing an error is becausesynatically valid variable names can't begin with digits (althoughstructure keys can) -- so you could do one of two things, you couldprefix the number with a letter like #session.auth.aid_100824# or youcould as Paul Hastings suggested (and as I typically suggest) use#structkeyexists(session.auth,100824)#hths. isaac dealey 972-490-6624team macromedia volunteerhttp://www.macromedia.com/go/teamchief architect, tapestry cmshttp://products.turnkey.toonTap is open sourcehttp://www.turnkey.to/ontap You can't have the pound signs in the isDefined function - since it's in quotes, CF assumes you mean the pound sign. Try this: cfset authTest = session.auth.#articleId# cfif isDefined(authTest)(do something) cfelse(do something else) /cfifI have a variable in a struct called session.auth that isrelated to the idof the article the user is seeing.If the variable#session.auth.100824#exists, the user can visit article 100824 otherwise he'sdenied access.How can I check that this variable exists?I have triedthe following andit throws an error, saying that isdefined has to have asyntactically validvariable name:Where did I get it wrong please?Here's what I've put that throws an error:cfif isdefined(Session.auth[#articleid#])you're incfelseyou're out/cfifCheers,Michael KearWindsor, NSW, AustraliaAFP Webworks. ~~ ~~~| ColdFusion MX 6.1, now 2.5 times faster. http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/ upgrade/jump/introducing.html?trackingid=ColdFusion_468x60 g_HouseofFusion_carat_082803 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138782 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubsc ribe.cfm?user=633.558.4 [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Hosting at CrystalTech or EdgeWebHosting
Ryan, I've been with CT over 2 years now.It keeps getting better and better.Inow have a dedicated box there with a number of sites - tech support hasalways been courteous and prompt, even with the sometimes dumb questions Iask, and even at 3 AM I get a human.Their admin control center is reallyfull featured.They just switched from Imail server to Smartermail for allemail accounts.Smartermail has come out with three major revisions since1.0 in just 10 weeks (v1.0 worked great out of the box, but Smartermailseems intent on outdoing itself).Performance gains and ease of use havebeen nothing short of phenomenal.Highly recommended.Thanks, Mark -Original Message-From: Ryan Sabir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 8:21 PMTo: CF-TalkSubject: Hosting at CrystalTech or EdgeWebHostingHey all,I remember some talk a while ago about some of you guys who werehosting with CrystalTech.

RE: Hosting at CrystalTech or EdgeWebHosting
Very good.Lots of communication (a huge thing in my book) lots (andlots and lots) of recent upgrades (Windows 2003, CF MX 6.1, new metricsand email servers, and a new control panel). With all of that they've also recently lowered prices and added featuresto accounts (you can now use SQL server on the type II account forexample).

Load testing CFMX6.1
We're prepping a cfmx cluster (cfmx on jrun4) of 2 severs to go live inthe near future. I'm currently load testing break and destroy scriptson a single server to see our max capacity in the event one server goesdown.I'm happy to report that @ 30 virtual users with an aggressive wait time(meaning low)...cfmx just smiles and keeps on coming. :)The application is very data intensive (reporting) so there's plenty offile i/o (outputting csv files)...loads of database work etc. Themachine is also less powerful than our production boxes...and has 512RAM. (Solaris 8)I have to say I'm very relieved. This same app used to explode on CF5.In fact, I can still browse the site with a very acceptable responsetime!Cheers,StaceAVIS IMPORTANT:--- Les informations contenues dans le present document et ses pieces jointes sont strictement confidentielles et reservees a l'usage de la (des) personne(s) a qui il est adresse.

RE: CFMX Instances on JRUN
Dave,The documentation points to Creating CFMX Instances with the OLD CFMX ForJ2EE(v 6.0)I have done all the steps in live docs documentation.i.e1. Install CFMX ENT 6.1 with JRun Full install.2. The above install creates One Instance of CFMX.3. I created a second JRun Server Instance through JRun JMC(cfusion2)4. Copied the Expanded default Intall of CFMX(cfusion-ear Folder) to newCFMX Instance(cfusion2)5. Left (SERVER-INF Folder) alone in (cfusion2 folder), since this has theconfig for 2nd CFMX Instance.6. Deleted (default-ear) in cfusion2 folder cause this is the default earcreated by JMC.I am unable to access the CFMX administrator with different port numbers.i.e.http://127.0.0.1:8300/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfmhttp://127.0.0.1:8101/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfmI am probably missing some config and am trying to figure what i am missing?Have you configured Multiple Instances of CFMX (version 6.1)?Did you do something different than i did?Thanks,Joe Eugene-Original Message-From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 5:51 PMTo: CF-TalkSubject: Re: CFMX Instances on JRUN Does anybody know how to test Which Instance of CFMX processed therequest?

Re: CFMX Instances on JRUN
Have you configured Multiple Instances of CFMX (version 6.1)? Did you do something different than i did?For starters, I don't use the official instructions I've seen in theMacromedia documentation regarding installing MX into a JRun instance (EARdeployment, etc.). I find them too cumbersome and confusing. So while I'mgoing to outline what I do in my installs, I just want to point out up frontthat it's going to be different from the official docs that I've seen, and,in my opinion, my way is much easier to follow and maintain.This is what I do:1. Open the JMC and click the Create New Server link and follow the wizardsteps to set up the new JRun instance. Do not start the new server aftercreating it.2. Run the MX installer, choosing the WAR deployment option. You will windup with two resulting files, cfusion.war and rds.war. (Note that rds.warwill not be necessary if you're not going to use a context root.3. Delete the default-ear directory.4. In the root of your new JRun instance (in this example, assume I've namedthe JRun instance cfmx2), create a folder called cfusion.5. Copy cfusion.war to the cfusion directory.6. Run jar -xvf cfusion.war to deploy the WAR file.7. Delete cfusion.war.Now that the installation phase is done, now it's time for the configurationphase:8. Open WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml in the cfusion directory of your new instance.9. Look for the context-root/cfusion/context-root element and delete the/cfusion between the tags.10. To set up the shared document root, you need to set up the mappings tothe doc root. In my installations (MX 6.1 on Linux/Solaris), I have thefollowing. The only thing you'll need to change is the values between thesystem-path tags to reflect your system setup.virtual-mappingresource-path/*/resource-pathsystem-path/export/home/dave/public_html/wwwroot/system-path/virtual-mappingvirtual-mappingresource-path/WEB-INF/*/resource-pathsystem-path/opt/jrun4/servers/dave/cfusion/WEB-INF/system-path/virtual-mappingvirtual-mappingresource-path/CFIDE/*/resource-pathsystem-path/opt/jrun4/servers/dave/cfusion/CFIDE/system-path/virtual-mappingThe first mapping sets up the redirect when a URL is requested in thebrowser. As you can see, it's not in the same directory path as my JRuninstallation. The second mapping allows the web server to find the MXlibraries, etc., it needs to process and serve the request. The last mappingisn't necessary, but using it means that I don't have to copy the MXadministrator out to my site.At this point, you're ready to start up your MX instance.For anybody who has come across the installation instructions for MX 6.0,the only difference (that I've found) between the 6.1 instruction set andthe 6.0 instruction set is that you don't need to copy the jrun.propertiesfile to you document root (some architecture changes in 6.1 alleviated theneed for this).Once your instance is started up, you canaccess the new instance through theURL.Once you're satisfied that things are working as you like, you can just runthe wsconfig to get your external web server running with this MX instance.Hope this helps?Regards,Dave.

RE: fusebox training
I've been investigating the possibility of becoming a Macromedia Certified Instructor (MCI) -- there's a local company here in Dallas that I've been talking with aobut it, although nothing's gonna happen overnight -- and I'm wondering what the feasability is of teaching classes in Fusebox and what kind of student-demand there is for it. As a Macromedia Certified Instructor, you'll most likely end up teaching the official Macromedia courses, which don't cover any frameworks. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444Actually I got clarification on that from the Director of InstructorReadiness today about this. Her answer:as an MCI you would1) Only be allowed to teach our authorized curriculum for a MacromediaAuthorized Training Partner (you would retain your MCI status so longas you taught for any MATP)2) Only be allowed to teach our authorized curriculum, and not anyother overlapping courses3) Could teach other courses outside our curriculum, such as Fusebox.So yes, I'll have to teach the MM curriculum, but I won't be limitedto it. So as long as there's no overlapping curriculum provided byMacromedia I guess I'm set to teach whatever I like on the side. :)Thanks tho Dave,s. isaac dealey 972-490-6624team macromedia volunteerhttp://www.macromedia.com/go/teamchief architect, tapestry cmshttp://products.turnkey.toonTap is open sourcehttp://www.turnkey.to/ontap [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
