Re: cfquery error on new database
hi joe, i'm just guessing, but maybe MX reads the datasources at the begin of every request, so that it does not know your datasource you just created. maybe if you use cflocation you would have more luck ... cheers gert - Original Message - From: joe velez To: CF-Talk Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 5:17 AM Subject: cfquery error on new database ok .. strange scenario. i have a script that is creating a mysql database on the fly. no login/password is required. i create the tables. i create a dsn on the fly as well. once the db is created i try to run a quick query on it but receive an error like: General error: Unknown database 'MYDATABASENAME' but, if i run the script w/o the query at the end, and create a link to another page that runs the same query i omitted it works fine. is there a time limit on how long i need to wait between creating a datbase and accessing it? i even tried to run a loop 1 through 1 between the steps, but no luck. any suggestions? thanks joe [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Return Links (best practice)
What are some of you doing to return people to where they were once they have logged in. I am curious what are some of the best methods to returning users back to where they came from after they log in. Example;user is browsing your website and comes to a form to submit some information.But they have to be logged in as a member first.So instead of showing them the form, you re-direct them to the login page where they can either login or sign up. Also assuming there are MANY places for this type of situation to happen throughout the site.What are some good methods to get them back AFTER they have logged in and/or signed up.

Save the referrer when locating them to the login page. Use that referrer upon login to relocate again.

RE: Return Links (best practice)
Why would that be unreliable? Yes you can spoof referrers as a client, but they are only used as a relocate target not as a check whether someone is logged in. You can store paths in sessions etc. but you must make sure you update the path on each request, and ignore the setting of the path during the logging procedure.

You could use Application.cfm (or a file that you include in relevant places) to contain the whole login procedure and use self posting forms for the login. This way you never leave the page you requested.

RE: Fusebox
Andrew, The Fusebox conference is in a couple of weeks in Maryland. That would be the best place to get info about Fusebox. http://www.cfconf.org/fusebox2004/ There may be other frameworks out there with some clever concepts, but everyone that I know that has ever given Fusebox a decent shot, has always loved it. Usually the detractors I see on these lists are the ones that either didn't bother to learn it or couldn't grasp it. I was lucky in that after my first web project in 1999 I think, I decided to look around for some methodology/standard to work with. Fusebox was just starting out and seemed interesting did everything I needed. I was able to adopt FB before I came up with too many clever ways of doing things myself that FB would replace. I think that's why some folks have such a hard time working in a framework, which is understandable from a human nature standpoint. But from a business standpoint it bothers me when a developer isn't flexible enough to work in Fusebox. Having a framework/methodology is an important business decision, and if a developer isn't willing to play by the rules, I want no part of them. Come to the conference and check it out. $200 is well worth it. And the classes on Thursday and Friday are a great opportunity to get up to speed quickly. Oh and the Code Rutters FB4 book is very good. You can get started just from that, but if I were in your position I'd jump in the Intro to FB class on Thursday and attend the conference. I'd love to see a case-study of the project if you do decide to do it with Fusebox. You might think about documenting some of it for next year's conference!

What I'm really looking for is some explaining of why it is better to use the Fusebox method than just straight forward CF.

MX 6.1 W2K3 Installation Hangs
Hi All We have a completely fresh, pristine and virgin installation of Windows Server 2003 Standard, and we're trying to install MX 6.1 Pro onto it. Every time we try, it goes right through the installation to point of Installing Web Server Connectors... Then it pops up a cmd.exe window with nothing in it, and hangs. Forever! We've tried leaving it for over an hour, nothing happened. It wouldn't even respond to the Cancel button. So we killed the installer, deleted all CF files and went through the registry deleting anything matching Macromedia When we run it again, the same problem occurs. We've tried telling the installer to use the built-in web server, use only the default IIS web server, configure all IIS websites - same thing happens every time. Anyone else had this issue? Anyone got round it? Or is our shiny new Windows box just a big pile of doodoo? (no OS flamewars please - if it was up to me we'd certainly be using Apache as a webserver, probably on RedHat Enterprise, but it's not my call unfortunately) All help greatly appreciated Alistair Alistair Davidson Senior Technical Developer Headshift.com -- HEADSHIFT www.headshift.com T: 020 7357 7358 -- smarter simpler social Personal techie blog : http://instantbadger.blogspot.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: Displaying a dynamic map - how?
There're actually a few problems here: 1) We don't have any control over the map, really.It's designed by the print designer for the paper program guide then given to us (usually at the last minute).We do, however often have to update the map when venues change before the event.But we (the web team) have no control over its look, design or contents. Since she works with the map for print only the files we get are less than ideal for online or dynamic use.For example you'd think that the roads would be all on layer, but instead there are hundreds of tiny independent objects creating the illusion of a single layer. 2) We're on a shared host (CrystalTech.net to be specific) and can't install many of the cooler things we'd like to.;^)Even if we could the level of traffic we got on the 31st is such that doing custom maps for each visitor (something I've always wanted to do) is really out of the question. as it is we're pushing the limits of our server for those few hours a year. That being said the map (or at least the venues) are indeed databased already.I store the actual map image coordinates (pixel x and y) and (at least for those I've gotten to) the GPS coordinates as well. 3) We just don't have much time.The site isn't anybody's full time job and with all the other requests nifty things for the map always seem to sink to the bottom of the list.I've wanted to turn those coordinates I've collected into a what's close to this feature for years now.;^) We're supposed to be getting a new map this year. the same one used by the city tourist bureau I believe.I've got high hopes. At any rate there is a specific look and feel to these maps that can't be changed - most of the GIS mapping systems I've found are unfortunately rather ugly.Our map isn't exact either - it's a highlight map showing most (but definitely not all) of the main streets in Boston, a few of the building and other landmarks and so forth with nothing to exact scale.It's really more art than fact but does the job, mostly (I always get at least one complaint that the train stations aren't listed on the map.)

Here, we're behind a firewall using NAT... port forwarding... Presently, I cannot use domain nameswith other PCs on the network. If I do, I just get the firewall box. But the external world has access without trouble. (I'm waiting for this to be fixed) I was told we needed another DNS server to serve internal requests. As I am not the network admin, I have not resolved this problem. So, on the webserver here, I cannot access the site by domain name, even if I'm on the server (the actual box the request comes to) because of the NAT box.

Re: Array Help
Be easier to troubleshoot this if you could post the actual HTML from
the browser.
Not sure if this might be the problem...your cfform tag isn't closed
(no ) ?
...also, parameterExists() has been deprecated since roughly CF 3
(somebody will likely correct me if i'm wrong there...but it's been a
while).you really shouldn't be using it anymore.Since you use
isDefined(TravelID) right above it, I'd change your
cfif parameterexists(travelID)
to
cfif holdIDExists
which, based on your cfset above should work; and would be
preferrable to parameterexists.

Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
I just came back from a weeklong training session with java/JSP programming and have a couple of things to discuss.
FYI, I've been a long-time CF programmer (first version of 3.1).I've dabbled in UNIX shell scripts, perl, ASP, VB, and Pascal (yes, Pascal!) in my past incarnations, and hands down, I have found CF to be the best for me.It is the most intuitive programming language I've encountered so far.That opinion hasn't changed after my intro to java/JSP.
Anyway, here goes:
1) Since CFMX 6.1 is now running off of jrun, is it reasonable to see it as a huge and complicated set of JSP custom tags?JSP seems to behave very similarly to CF -- you write the code in a .jsp file and the compiler creates a .class file after the initial run.There are a ton of custom tags for JSP, and after sifting through them, it seems like CF can be seen as a large custom tag.
2) To quote Hal Helms:
http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=writings.displayOnScreenwriting=TenReasonsCompaniesLikeJava.htm
Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using ColdFusion. A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of simultaneous requests that ColdFusion can.
I found this very disturbing, but I can see how this could be true.In JSP, the equivalent of a CFOUTPUT of a form field is as follows:
%= ${form_field} %
or
% request.getParameter(form_field) %
Either one will do the job, but when this code is run through the runtime compiler, you see two very different code -- the former is some form of an evaluate function (which, like Evaluate() in CF, will no doubt take more processing power) while the latter goes through unchanged, i.e., will be faster.So this got me thinking about CF in general.All the minute, annoying things that java requires help it run faster.In CF, you can simply declare a variable without regard for type -- cfset var = name and cfset var = 0 are both valid statements.But let's think about that for a second.Since java requires that variables be typed, is it not plausible to think that CF code will run less lean, since there will now have to be extra code to sort this out?This is pure conjecture on my part; I have no idea.Since CF can be seen as a custom tag that generates code, who really knows how efficient this code-generating is?Is that why Hal says JSP is 10 times faster than CF?
3) I'm considering running MachII (after this class, I'm fairly convinced of the whole MVC thingy).Will running something like MachII make my applications faster?Or is it just a way to organize big projects so they don't get out of hand?
4) Is there a way to optimize CF code so it runs the fastest?I know, for example, that virtual Query function is dog-slow, and that structures are lightning fast.Are there any other tips?Should I be utilizing more CFSCRIPT throughout my code?
No matter how much performance increase java/JSP offers, I find the whole language ridiculous.Then again, I find most computer languages ridiculous.Why shouldn't the parser be smart enough to know that a variable is a certain type without having me specify it?Why do I need to worry about case sensitivity?You may just call me lazy, but when I saw CF, I saw a language that was intelligent.It took the silliness out of programming and let me do what I really wanted to do.

Does anyone know any info on the service factory that controls verity within CF? We have a backend java program that is doing some stuff and needs to trigger verity to build an index available to be searched within CF.I know java could make an http request and trigger a cf page to build the index, but we'd like to do it straight from java if possible.Any suggestions?

RE: Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
1) Since CFMX 6.1 is now running off of jrun, is it reasonable to see it as a huge and complicated set of JSP custom tags?JSP seems to behave very similarly to CF -- you write the code in a .jsp file and the compiler creates a .class file after the initial run. There are a ton of custom tags for JSP, and after sifting through them, it seems like CF can be seen as a large custom tag. I think that's a bit of an oversimplification, but yes, CF can be thought of as an abstraction layer between the code you write and the Java classes you end up with as a result. 2) To quote Hal Helms: ... Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using ColdFusion. A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of simultaneous requests that ColdFusion can. To quote Mark Twain, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. While it may be true that you can write a JSP page that is ten times faster than its CF equivalent, most pages are unlikely to fall within this category, and most servers will run pages that have the same general bottlenecks no matter whether they're using CF, JSP or something else. In most applications I've seen, the vast majority of work involves database access, so you're unlikely to see a significant performance difference, much less a difference of a factor of ten. 3) I'm considering running MachII (after this class, I'm fairly convinced of the whole MVC thingy).Will running something like MachII make my applications faster?Or is it just a way to organize big projects so they don't get out of hand? It's just an organizational thing. It won't make anything run faster. It may make things run slower, although that may be outweighed by the organizational benefits it provides. 4) Is there a way to optimize CF code so it runs the fastest? I know, for example, that virtual Query function is dog-slow, and that structures are lightning fast.Are there any other tips?Should I be utilizing more CFSCRIPT throughout my code? You should probably focus on the two core things that make applications slow - inefficient database use and lack of caching. No matter how much performance increase java/JSP offers, I find the whole language ridiculous.Then again, I find most computer languages ridiculous.Why shouldn't the parser be smart enough to know that a variable is a certain type without having me specify it?Why do I need to worry about case sensitivity?You may just call me lazy, but when I saw CF, I saw a language that was intelligent.It took the silliness out of programming and let me do what I really wanted to do. Unfortunately, there's a lot wrapped up in that silliness. Many traditional programmers would rather work with languages that enforce data typing because it helps them catch errors at compile time, rather than at run time.

RE: Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
It's generally true that CFML, as a higher level language that removes
much of the silliness you find in lower-level programming languages, will
not perform as well as Java/JSP. But,
- It's also generally true that code written in C will outperform Java,
and code written in machine-level assembly language will generally
outperform C (though there are Java and C adherents who will dispute
both of these). However, Java is generally preferred over C, and C is
generally preferred over assembler because of the productivity advantages.
People are expensive; writing and maintaining complex software systems is
expensive; CPUs and RAM are cheap (and getting cheaper). Unless you're
writing one of those rare applications where milli- and micro-seconds of
performance are critical, the trade-off of performance for productivity is
generally more than worth it. The same is true for CFML versus
Java/JSP--CFML is generally a much more productive programming environment
than Java/JSP.
- For web applications that involve database access, the database is going
to be your performance bottleneck. Your web application, whether written in
CFML or Java/JSP, is going to spend most of its time idle waiting for a
response from the database. CFML can wait just as fast as Java/JSP. :-)

Subject: Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
I just came back from a weeklong training session with java/JSP
programming and have a couple of things to discuss.
FYI, I've been a long-time CF programmer (first version of 3.1).
I've dabbled in UNIX shell scripts, perl, ASP, VB, and Pascal (yes, Pascal!)
in my past incarnations, and hands down, I have found CF to be the best for
me.It is the most intuitive programming language I've encountered so far.
That opinion hasn't changed after my intro to java/JSP.
Anyway, here goes:
1) Since CFMX 6.1 is now running off of jrun, is it reasonable to
see it as a huge and complicated set of JSP custom tags?JSP seems to
behave very similarly to CF -- you write the code in a .jsp file and the
compiler creates a .class file after the initial run.There are a ton of
custom tags for JSP, and after sifting through them, it seems like CF can be
seen as a large custom tag.
2) To quote Hal Helms:
http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=writings.displayOnScreenwritin
g=TenReasonsCompaniesLikeJava.htm
Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to
ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using ColdFusion.
A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of simultaneous requests
that ColdFusion can.
I found this very disturbing, but I can see how this could be true.
In JSP, the equivalent of a CFOUTPUT of a form field is as follows:
%= ${form_field} %
or
% request.getParameter(form_field) %

COTS Product
Hi everyone, Recently we were told we had to provide quite a few documents for SDLC (Systems Development Life-cycle), one month before a project deadline, for the COTS (Commercial-Off-the-Shelf) Product we are using for a government client.This product is CFMX 6.1.After installation testing on the dev and qas servers, the last two servers are now off-limits per the CIO until all of this documentation is provided.Initially all of these documents were deemed unnecessary as what we provided was considered adequate. There are roughly 30 documents listed, and we have been given samples and layouts, however this is going to take some time to complete and since we have limited resources, there is no way we are going to make the deadline of October 1st at this rate.My hands are tied as I am a sub-contractor for the company who actually HAS the contract.What I am looking for is, hopefully, someone or some company that has documented a lot of this information about CFMX already. The following link explains what is needed: http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/irm/lifecycle/ch13.htm Near the end the page (section 13.3.7) is what we were provided via fax. If anyone can give me any insight, I'd appreciate it, since I am pretty lost here...

Re: Displaying a dynamic map - how?
That being said the map (or at least the venues) are indeed databased already. I have build a tool to define these mappings 100% the DHTML way on any image, presently mostly photos.

Have a glance at http://diplomes.med.umontreal.ca select a year in the Mosaque drop list, (ex: 1993) and pass the mouse over the image.

Re: Cannot establish socket -
I was recently having this problem as well.After doing a little bit of searching I found an article, (might even have been an HoF Post) that suggested that setting up the db in window odbc, and then setting up the datasource to use an odbc connection would fix the problem. I set this up and havn't had the error in two weeks.

RE: Calling a .Net control from ColdFusion
We actually looked into that as a way to embed ASP.NET controls in a CFML page--in fact, I gave a demo of some of our early efforts at CFUN-04. It turns out that what appears conceptually easy at the beginning is really very hard. In order to support the viewstate, postback, and event-driven environment that an ASP.NET control expects, you pretty much have to duplicate the full functionality of an ASP.NET, which is no minor task. So instead of embedding ASP.NET controls in CFML pages, we asked, What if we could embed CFML code in ASP.NET pages? Then we could mix CFML and ASP.NET controls and get the best of both worlds--pretty much the same effect we were looking for. Well, it turns out that we *can* do this (with BlueDragon.NET), and it's very cool. Look for more info when we release the BlueDragon 6.2 beta (including BlueDragon.NET) later this month.

Re: Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
I think the br issue is because of the URL...I've seen this exhibited on some other messages.
Here's my message again, without the link...should be easier to read.
---
I just came back from a weeklong training session with java/JSP
programming and have a couple of things to discuss.
FYI, I've been a long-time CF programmer (first version of 3.1).I've
dabbled in UNIX shell scripts, perl, ASP, VB, and Pascal (yes,
Pascal!) in my past incarnations, and hands down, I have found CF to
be the best for me.It is the most intuitive programming language
I've encountered so far.That opinion hasn't changed after my intro
to java/JSP.
Anyway, here goes:
1) Since CFMX 6.1 is now running off of jrun, is it reasonable to see
it as a huge and complicated set of JSP custom tags?JSP seems to
behave very similarly to CF -- you write the code in a .jsp file and
the compiler creates a .class file after the initial run.There are a
ton of custom tags for JSP, and after sifting through them, it seems
like CF can be seen as a large custom tag.
2) To quote Hal Helms:
Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to
ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using
ColdFusion. A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of
simultaneous requests that ColdFusion can.
I found this very disturbing, but I can see how this could be true.
In JSP, the equivalent of a CFOUTPUT of a form field is as follows:
%= ${form_field} %
or
% request.getParameter(form_field) %
Either one will do the job, but when this code is run through the
runtime compiler, you see two very different code -- the former is
some form of an evaluate function (which, like Evaluate() in CF, will
no doubt take more processing power) while the latter goes through
unchanged, i.e., will be faster.So this got me thinking about CF in
general.All the minute, annoying things that java requires help it
run faster.In CF, you can simply declare a variable without regard
for type -- cfset var = nameand cfset var = 0are both valid
statements.But let's think about that for a second.Since java
requires that variables be typed, is it not plausible to think that CF
code will run less lean, since there will now have to be extra code to
sort this out?This is pure conjecture on my part; I have no idea.
Since CF can be seen as a custom tag that generates code, who really
knows how efficient this code-generating is?Is that why Hal says JSP
is 10 times faster than CF?
3) I'm considering running MachII (after this class, I'm fairly
convinced of the whole MVC thingy).Will running something like
MachII make my applications faster?Or is it just a way to organize
big projects so they don't get out of hand?
4) Is there a way to optimize CF code so it runs the fastest?I know,
for example, that virtual Query function is dog-slow, and that
structures are lightning fast.Are there any other tips?Should I be
utilizing more CFSCRIPT throughout my code?
No matter how much performance increase java/JSP offers, I find the
whole language ridiculous.Then again, I find most computer languages
ridiculous.Why shouldn't the parser be smart enough to know that a
variable is a certain type without having me specify it?Why do I
need to worry about case sensitivity?You may just call me lazy, but
when I saw CF, I saw a language that was intelligent.It took the
silliness out of programming and let me do what I really wanted to do.

cfoutput -- group and maxrows problem
Hi everyone, I'm new to the list, but was driven to subscribe by a problem that's been driving me mad for days. I have three tables: publications, authors, and pub_author. I designed it this way b/c pubs can have multiple authors, and I wanted a controlled list of authors. They're joined like so: SELECT p.publication_id, p.publication_title, a.author_name, a.author_id FROMpublications p, publication_author pa, authors a WHEREp.publication_id = pa.pub_id AND pa.auth_id = a.author_id ORDER BY p.publication_title; ...which gives me multiple rows for publications with more than one author.So Pub 1-Auth1, Pub1-Auth2, Pub2-Auth3, Pub3-Auth4 = 4 rows for 3 records. My output uses grouped nested cfoutputs for display, essentially like this: cfoutput query=research group=publication_title maxrows=10 #publication_title# cfoutput #author_name# /cfoutput /cfoutput But the maxrows attribute goes by the query record count, rather than the count of unique publication_titles. So instead of seeing 10 records per page, I may get 6 or 9 or 7--the system is counting each author row and thinks it's reached 10 before it actually has. I've tried the custom tag cf_recordcount, and that counts correctly *outside* the record listing (e.g., Found 22 results instead of Found 34), but doesn't affect the way the cfoutput maxrows attribute works. Am I missing something totally obvious?? Thanks for any help. -c [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
I'm looking for a HTML/CFML editor for Windows with the following requirements: 1. A projects system for easily managing a limited directory structure regarding an individual project.A simple file browser could suffice. 2. _Good_ syntax highlighting, i.e. able to highlight _javascript_ and HTML and CSS in the same file. 3. Good basic features, similar to EditPlus (http://www.editplus.com/). 4. Some sort of snippets / clip-book feature, for often-used code snippets.Ideally these should be programmable like NoteTab. 5. Small footprint as my laptop only has 64meg of RAM currently. 6. Code hinting, e.g. I enter cfquery and it shows a tooltip of the attributes. I've gotten good enough with CFML and CSS that I really don't need Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG facilities any longer and would like something light enough to run on my new laptop at work (500Mhz P3). In effect I'm looking for a cross between EditPlus (for its wonderful basic functionality) and NotePad (for is programmability), with a few extras. Any suggestions?
