You can also return the appropriate value from Oracle directly, using:

to_char(whatever_column_name,'TM9')

   Over 120 attendees learned about what will come in Flash 8 and hidden 
features of
   CFMX 7. I had a good crowd for my Project Management talk. I met a lot of 
speakers
   and MMUG managers and the one question on everyone's lips was "Are you going
   to CFUNITED? Don't miss it - it is THE CF event of the year"

2. Win a ticket to CFUNITED

The winner will be chosen based on answering the questions correctly
together with the best answer to the question "Why should people come to
CFUNITED-05?"

The winner will be selected on April 22nd. If you don't win you can you
can still register at the timely bird price of $549 before 4/30/05

3. Pre-Conference classes and MMUG Manager conference registration open

4. "Frameworks: Mach II or Fusebox 4.1?" interview with Sean Corfield
*

Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Sean Corfield about his CFUNITED-05
talk "Frameworks: Mach II or Fusebox 4.1?". So why should a developer come to
your session Sean ?

Sean Corfield: With all the hype and confusion surrounding application
frameworks, a lot of developers just don't know which way to go and often don't
have the time to fully evaluate the different frameworks themselves. Sometimes
they just pick one and "make do", even if it isn't particularly suitable for
their work. My session is a fast track to understanding eno

You can do this, but it's not very efficient (since you're keeping that
thread active and consuming resources for the whole of the sleep time rather
than allowing it to go and get other work done).

Instead you might consider setting up a task to do this - you can set the
tasks programmatically so something like this like this can happen:

Launch the process (either through a separate scheduled task or manually).
Create (programmatically using ) a task that runs every minute
which calls a mail sender page.

The mail sender page:

1) Checks the working flag (described below) to see if it's free to run.  If
so it checks to see if there's any mail to send; if not it exits
immediately.

2) If there's mail to send it sets a "working" flag to true someplace (in a
database, in the application scope, etc) and sends 200 messages then sets
the working flag to "false".

If there's no more mail to send it deletes the scheduled task.

In the case of any errors I would log the problem and set the working flag
to "false".

You can improve things of course but this prevents multiple threads from
sending mail at the same time, implements your delay and only uses resources
when running.

Furthermore since each batch of 200 is running in a separate process one
iteration can bomb for some reason and the others will still run meaning
that most of your mail will get out regardless.

I've used this kind of setup very successfully for delayed log-file batch
processing.

RE: Transferring cfadmin settings between servers

[Steven Brownlee]

They're stored in XML files, but all you need to do is go into your admin
screen and make a CAR (under Packaging & Deployment section) file.  You can
specify any/all settings to backup.  Then simply restore that CAR file to
any other server.

I have a CF template set up as the IIS 404 error handler on a web site. 
When IIS detects a 404 error it calls the CF page and passes the original
request within the CGI variable cgi.query_string in the following form:

404;http://www.mydomain.com/missingpage.htm

or if the request was for a directory it might look like:

404;http://www.mydomain.com/missingdirectory/

In my template I need to extract what would have been the original

or

What might a CF function look like using regexes to extract the trailing
part of the URL?  There will be many different host (domain) names pointed
at the site, so I can't match the domain name.  The function would be called
by passing cgi.query_string:



The function below is start, but it matches the entire string rather than
"extracting" just the end part.

Well as far as I'm aware it's been this way since the release of
ColdFusion MX and I'd be surprised if they changed it in 7 -- I think
it was actually intentional... the reason being that if you were to
use  or  inside of a function created with the
 tag, the relative path to the included template or module
must be relative to the template containing the  tag. I
personally still think getCurrentTemplatePath() should return the path
to the currently executing template (instead of the function
template), but I suspect relative paths for cfinclude / cfmodule have
something to do with why it produces that result.

At this point there's a fair amount of code in use which observes the
difference, so "fixing" it would require many of us to modify our
existing code to check the version of CF to determine behavior. I
would be okay with that (although I might not like it), though some
people might be miffed.

Actually I take that back -- if by "fixing" you mean making it always
return the path to the template in which the function is declared (not
called), then I'd be pretty royally upset over it -- because I can't
think of another way to generate that information (which is vitally
important to my code) if the behavior were changed in that direction.

Regex help

[Jim McAtee]

(CF5 on IIS, Win2k Server)

I have a CF template set up as the IIS 404 error handler on a web site. 
When IIS detects a 404 error it calls the CF page and passes the original 
request within the CGI variable cgi.query_string in the following form:

404;http://www.mydomain.com/missingpage.htm

or if the request was for a directory it might look like:

404;http://www.mydomain.com/missingdirectory/

In my template I need to extract what would have been the original 
cgi.path_info:

/missingpage.htm

or

/missingdirectory/

What might a CF function look like using regexes to extract the trailing 
part of the URL?  There will be many different host (domain) names pointed 
at the site, so I can't match the domain name.  The function would be 
called by passing cgi.query_string:



The function below is start, but it matches the entire string rather than 
"extracting" just the end part.

function getPathInfo(qs) {
  var re = '404;http://[^/]+/*';
  var stuff = REFindNoCase(re, qs, 1, 'yes');
  if (stuff.pos[1]) {
return Mid(qs, stuff.pos[1], stuff.len[1]);
  } else {
return '';
  }
}

Re: cfx image?

[Nathan Strutz]

None that I should really share :)

but basically, it's simple:


c:\> convert myimage.bmp -geometery "100x100+0+0>" myimage.jpg

This will convert a bmp to a jpeg, maximum width and height of 100px, 
while keeping the aspect ratio.

Then you can add in extra arguments before the .jpg, like jpeg quality:

-quality 50

Also, your JPEGs won't compress well unless you take out extra color 
profiles, using:

+profile *

Which doesn't work on linux (last i tried), you'll have to specify all 
the extra color profiles you don't want, like iptc and some others I 
can't remember.

Your output file should be the last argument.

All of this information is pretty easily available at imagemagick.com

Re: xml breadcrumbs

[Barney Boisvert]

Try this



You'll want to change your XML so that it's recursive (use 'item'
instead of 'subitem'), and probably want to switch 'label' to 'id'
since they'll need to be unique so you can do your lookups.

This solution has nothing to do with CF7's XML functions, and
everything to do with the XPath language.  That's why the docs don't
give good examples, they're showing how to use the CFML
implementation, not trying to teach you XPath.  If you're going to be
doing much with XML, you're going to need to pick up a good XPath
tutorial/reference.  Once you've got the basics, the w3c spec is the
definitive reference, but it's thin on examples and techniques.

Re: cfx image?

[Nathan Strutz]

I'm on cfmx 6.1. If there were issues with cfmx & cfexecute, it was 
probably cfmx 6.0, before updater 3 (aka, a very long time ago).

Alagad had an imagemagick custom tag, it was never very good. It is 99% 
easier and more efficient to run cfexecute directly instead of going 
through their tags.

The docs on the imagemagick site are easy to follow (but sparse in 
examples). Most commands are the same as you'd find in photoshop, but 
processing is a fair amount faster.

xml breadcrumbs

[Paul]

I'm using a simple xml file for our intranet navigation (CFMX 7). I would
now like to add breadcrumb navigation (Home > Tools > Tool 1) to each screen
by reading the same XML file, and I've never really used XML much.  I'm
assuming I can use the current path from the browser, find the node that
matches it, and then search upwards to determine the parent links that lead
back to default screen.  But I don't know how to put that plan into action.


 

I've seen many examples in the archives about using a db structure to do
this, but I'd like to stick w/ xml, if for no other reason than to learn it
better.

 

I've read the MM docs discussing the new xml functions, but the examples are
only one level deep and I'm slow on the uptake, apparently.  An abbreviated
version of my xml file follows, hopefully this will be a no-brainer for some
of you?

The big change was between CFMX (6.0 - which Hal's book was written
for) and CFMX 6.1. In CFMX (6.0), there was only the public 'this'
scope and no reliable local variables. In CFMX 6.1, you had the public
'this' scope, the private 'variables' scope (well, actually it's more
like Java's protected) and the local 'var' declarations.

Some best practices are listed here:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/wtg/public/

The Mach II Development Guide has some general OO best practices - not
all of it is Mach II specific - and there are all sorts of best
practices listed in the CFMX Coding Guidelines (version 3.2 will be
published very soon with some small tweaks that relate to CFMX 7).

I might be insane or I missed some responses, but I didn't see anyone give
you any links to information on CFCs.  There are several links off the
ColdFusion Developer Center page on macromedia.com:

http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/

There is an introductory article written by Ben Forta called "Ben Forta on
Architecture: Intro to ColdFusion Components" that you might start with.

Also, the ColdFusion MX Bible, written by Adam Churvis, has a lot of
information on CFCs in CFMX 6.1, which should be applicable to most
applications of CFMX 7.

Re: Decimal Formatting

[Barney Boisvert]

NUMBER columns are actually stored as strings, so you'll always get
exactly 2 decimal places.  Try this:


  #int(myNum)#

  #REreplace(myNum, "0+$", "")#

Re: Event Gateway's and runaway threads...

[dcooper]

Not quite right:

The Async CFML Gateway looks for optional CFEvent structure field "timeout", 
and if it exists, sets the time-out, in seconds, during which the listener CFC 
must process the event request and return before ColdFusion gateway services 
terminates the request. 

The default value is the Timeout Request value set on the Server Settings page 
in the ColdFusion MX Administrator. 

Set this value if a request might validly take longer to process than the 
default timeout; for example, if the request involves a very long processing 
time.

Decimal Formatting

[B G]

There's a simple solution here that is eluding me so please forgive my "end 
of day cloud" that is obstructing me.

I am trying to format a value that is stored in Oracle NUMBER(5,2) datatype 
so that if it is a whole number it won't display x.00.

For example, value 25.75 is fine and displays properly, value 18, should NOT 
display 18.00.  Likewise, 10.5 should NOT be 10.50.  But this is the 
behaviour I am getting.

What are you thoughts?

Re: JRun Clustering Behavior?

[Brandon Harper]

Thanks for the reply Simon.  It was behaving illogically when running
through various tests which is why it wasn't making much sense to me. 
For example, if I stopped one particular instance, it would not end-up
back in the cluster for quite a long time, but would eventually at
random find it's way back in, however the other instances would behave
as you said below.

I ended-up reinstalling the web server connectors and now it seems to
be behaving as one would expect it to.

Thanks,

- Brandon

RE: Posts too long!

[Rick Faircloth]

I think everyone would be amazed at how much people learn
from CF-Talk...not only those who participate, but those who
just read the posts.  I know that if a topic that I think will be
of interest to me in the future comes up, I'll wait until the
resolution comes about, then save the who conversation as
PDF's named for the topic under discussion for future reference.

Many people out there are learning much, just by reading the posts.
I'll tell you, as someone who came to CF with just a short course
as an introduction, that this list has been invaluable to me.
Can you imagine what it would cost to hire consultants with the
degree of knowledge people on this list possess!!!

I thank God for this list everyday!

Re: cfx image?

[Nathan Strutz]

Imagemagick works great, I recommend it. CFExecute doesn't have any 
problems that I know about, it works like a dream.

Also alagad & tmt image cfcs are great, also recommended & works 
natively, which is cool for coding.

Imagemagick has the bonus ability to read nearly any image type ever 
conceived and turn it into any other one. It's great.

Re: Documentation Bug in GetCurrentTemplatePath()?

[jacksonj]

-Yes, my reading of the docs agree that if you call
-getCurrentTemplatePath() inside Application.cfm, it should return the
-path of that Application.cfm file.

Okay, S. Isaac seems to suggest that it misbehaves when: An external template 
calls a -defined UDF that, in turn, calls getCurrentTemplatePath(). 
It turns out that the caller of the *UDF* has *its* path reported. He notes 
that it doesn't behave this way when the UDF is defined in .

I guess I'll send in a bug report, and make a note in the livedocs (of 6.1, and 
CFMX7 too, if it's confirmed that it still happens there).

Thanks for both of your replies,
Jamie

Re: Documentation Bug in GetCurrentTemplatePath()?

[jacksonj]

[my last post had some stuff stripped out of it (by the HoF posting mechanism?) 
trying again]

-The value of GetBaseTemplatePath() should exhibit the behavior you're
-saying you're getting from GetCurrentTemplatePath() when called from
-within Application.cfm...

Yes, and the "base template" is the one that you see in the URL, correct?

-However... getCurrentTemplatePath() will provide varried behavior when
-it is called within a function -- when called within a function
-created using  it returns the path to the template
-containing the cffunction tag. When called within a function created
-using  it returns the template in which the function is
-called. Personally I think this is insane, but that's the way it is --
-I suspect it's intended for CFC's. 
-You aren't by any chance creating a function which called
-getCurrentTemplatePath() and then calling that function? Maybe in a
-CFC?

Well, I'm quite glad that you knew this quirk, and replied to my message! The 
function containing the call to getCurrentTemplatePath() is indeed in cfscript 
(in my Application.cfm), and that function is indeed being called externally 
(sometimes). I guess that's why it was reporting the *indirect* caller of 
getCurrentTemplatePath(). I have to agree that this is insane, if it's not a 
bug. Does this quirk still exist in CFMX7? (I'm still on 6.1.)

However, you're saying if I use  for the function that calls 
getCurrentTemplatePath(), then it'll behave as desired? That's a pretty good 
workaround until getCurrentTemplatePath() starts to work properly in all 
contexts.

-No, expandPath() isn't, has never been and will never be a reliable
-means of determining the absolute path to any file Application.cfm or
-otherwise, because it expands the path from the base template -- imo
-pretty much useless.

Got it!

Thanks,
Jamie

RE: CF5 and Hyperthreading

[Gaulin, Mark]

Yeah, if you are using shared-scope variables (like session, application, or 
server) without using cflock on CF5, then you have a "race condition" for bad 
things happening.  The faster the box, the more like the bad things will 
happen.  (Yes, this sucks.) Actually, hyperthreading could be compounding the 
problem because now you've really got more than one thing going on at the same 
time, so there is more chance of things stepping on each other.

I don't know about the Single Threading option, but it sounds like it could 
slow things down quite a bit. (But don't take my work for it.)

You should look for an admin setting that warns about improper (unlocked) use 
of shared scope variables... we turned it on on our dev machine (to flush out 
the places where locking wasn't being done), but left it off for our live 
machine (because it might work, and errors on a live server suck).  You just 
have to bite the bullet and add the scope locking everywhere, or upgrade to 
CFMX, where the locks are needed.

POI is at home, but they basically work the same)

You add the jar to your cfmx classpath (google if you dont know) then
you do have access to the java libraries. For example to read an excel
file:




//get a handle to the workbook file
wfile = 
createObject("java","java.io.File").init(xlfile);

//create the workbook and load the file
workbook = createObject("java","jxl.Workbook");

//get a writeable workbook
wworkbook = 
createObject("java","jxl.write.WritableWorkbook");
wworkbook = workbook.getWorkbook(wfile);

//get the first sheet
sheet = createObject("java","jxl.write.WritableSheet"); 

sheet = wworkbook.getSheet("Sheet1");






#cfcatch.message#





Then later to get the values out




To write the sheets you do the opposite - adding styles to cells if needed.

Both products have APIs that you'll have to dig through to do what you
want, but that's the basics.

If you are not doing cflocks *everywhere* you need to on CF5 then going to a 
faster machine will be more unstable than the same code on a slow machine. I 
haven't seen hyperthreading cause issues with CF before, for whatever that's 
worth.

That could certainly be part of it. Then there's the fact that it's an
ActiveX component, which is the kiss of death in the
post-XPSP2/Firefox world. And the fact that it doesn't appear to do
XHTML doesn't help.

On an intranet, without any web wonks to service, it could be a great
solution. But it probably isn't going to be anyone's first suggestion

CFCs may not have changed much between 6.1 and 7, but I think they changed
quite a bit between CFMX 6.0 and 6.1, and a lot of Hal's book is spent on
ways to do things in CFMX 6 that you simply don't need to do in CFMX 6.1.

Yes, Personally I'd love to see them bundle icu4j if nothing else.
More robust locale features in native CF would be nice, although given
my current understanding of history and general intentions (keeping CF
simple - which is also debatable) I'm not sure if I'd expect it. But
at least if they bundled icu4j that wuold lend some ubiquity to better
java-based locale tools. I've contemplated creating an mx_icu4j
library as a pluggable extension to the framework to support icu4j by
replacing all the existing core-java based tools under the hood, but
haven't found or made the time to do it yet. Time always seems to be
my biggest challenge.

Subject: cross domain cfid

Does anyone know if its possible to have CF recognise sub domains as the
same domain?

e.g. I would like to have:

abc.mysite.com
123.mysite.com

both use the same CFID (at the moment I have to pass it back and forth
in the url, a real pain)

Cheers,
Kerry

Personally, I'd avoid VSS like the plague. There have been two many
reports of repository corruption for my tastes. And I believe it also
uses the lock-for-edit mode which can be a real pain when you have
multiple developers collaborating. However, Dreamweaver integration
for VSS is reasonably painless.

I've used and liked CVS on Windows, Unix and Mac. The tools are good
and pretty much all of them are free (which VSS is not). Many people
also swear by Subversion but I'm happy with CVS for now. Subversion is
very similar to CVS but supposedly has some useful advanced features
that CVS lacks. Like CVS, it's all free.

Dreamweaver integration with CVS (and Subversion) is non-existant
(there is an extension - Windows-only - that costs money and works
with a local CVS repository which is neither use nor ornament as far
as collaborative development is concerned!).

However, both CVS and SVN have good tools to integrate with Windows
Explorer which makes version control  pretty painless. TortoiseCVS and
TortoiseSVN are the popular ones I think (I didn't like them but, hey,
you can't please everyone).

Personally, I use CFEclipse for all my CFC development and much of my
CFM work too. It has great CVS (and Subversion) support. It has really
sucky FTP support tho' and no SFTP support. It seems there's no good
integrated solution that supports CVS/SVN and FTP/SFTP and CF! Since I
do all my testing locally, FTP/SFTP action is relatively infrequent so
I decided to use a separate FTP app with CFEclipse rather than a
separate CVS app with DW. YMMV.

Another WYSIWYG Editor Thread???

[Will Tomlinson]

I was just perusing and noticed Alagad's wysiwyg editor. I've never heard this 
one mentioned in any of our battles over TinyMCE and FCKEditor. Maybe due to 
the freeness factor? 

Anyone used this one? like it?

RE: What's your setup for multiple developers

[Ian Skinner]

Very easy.  It took me all of 2 minutes to do, once the new "VB Guy" set up the 
VSS repository.  Check in and out is just clicking the appropriate icons and/or 
menu items.  Publishing from the source safe repository to a 
production/staging/dev server though requires the VSS client piece. You can't 
do this step from within DreamWeaver.

RE: What's your setup for multiple developers

[Katz, Dov B \(IT\)]

One thing I'm experimenting with at home (I'm my only developer) is a
Perforce trial (single user) system. I run the perforce server and cf
dev edition at home.  Then I wrote a CF page on my prod server to run a
Perforce client and "p4 sync [-f]" any website or file I specify.   I no
longer need to use the FTP server, since my server now pulls data from
my source control directly.

More of a theoretical experiment, and might not work in all cases, but I
thought I'd share it with you

Central source code repository using CVS (free, good free tools as
well).

Every developer has Developer Edition locally and a full version of the
site.

We also have several shared dev servers for developers to test
integration of their work (and multiple QA servers for testing).

We often have multiple code branches active at any one time, to cater
for multiple project releases.

Every server and workstation is configured as close to identically as
possible (CFMX J2EE, separate document root, Apache etc - our deployment
environment is multiple clustered Solaris servers).

We mostly shared one dev database but we have a "crash'n'burn"
database for schema development and an additional dev database for code
branches that require incompatible schema changes (rare, but it happens
sometimes).

We also have a bugbase - Bugzilla - which is a great way to track all
issues, not just bugs.

And we have an automated build system that we can run from the CVS
server out to any shared dev / QA or production server. It's home-grown,
a mixture of Ant, Perl and Unix shell scripts. We tag all release
candidate builds so we can automatically reproduce a known, tested code
base directly from CVS to a target server.

Re: JRun Clustering Behavior?

[Simon Horwith]

JRun has a cluster manager service.  When a server is offline or stops 
responding to requests, it's dropped from the cluster.  If you attempt 
to access something in the session scope and the server is unable to 
access the session, it fails over to the other cluster member... but 
only if you have fail over turned on (which you should). For the most 
part, nothing much short of a crash, stop, or restart will remove an 
instance from the cluster as far as I know.  This is one of the reasons 
you balance the instances.  When it is restarted or started for the 
first time, the cluster manager adds it to the cluster for you.

Re: Building Applications for multiple DB's

[Rob]

Check out Raymod Camdens cf blog app -
http://www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog/
It has support for MySQL, Access, I think MSSQL, and I added postgres
(I don't know if that got merged though) - anyway it's an open source
example of a multi db app you can play with.

Re: What's your setup for multiple developers

[Sean Corfield]

I just want to add a big "+1" to this - real version control is an
important part of being a professional developer. We have about thirty
developers working on a single code base, covering up to six project
releases at the same time (on different branches) and source code
control makes it possible and managable. We can automatically
reproduce any release to any server. We can merge changes across
projects with ease if schedules or priorities change.

I'm trying to figure out best to configure my development server.
I've got 2 developers and 1 more on the way soon.  We currently work
with CF6, but we are thinking of going to CF7 very soon.  I've always
used the devnet version of CF on my local machine, currently CF6, to
develop and the other developer used the development server.  We
really need to start working on some shared code, but it seems that
without buying another license to use on the development server, were
kinda screwed.

How are other shops doing it?

Central source code repository using CVS (free, good free tools as well).

Every developer has Developer Edition locally and a full version of the site.

We also have several shared dev servers for developers to test
integration of their work (and multiple QA servers for testing).

We often have multiple code branches active at any one time, to cater
for multiple project releases.

Every server and workstation is configured as close to identically as
possible (CFMX J2EE, separate document root, Apache etc - our
deployment environment is multiple clustered Solaris servers).

We mostly shared one dev database but we have a "crash'n'burn"
database for schema development and an additional dev database for
code branches that require incompatible schema changes (rare, but it
happens sometimes).

We also have a bugbase - Bugzilla - which is a great way to track all
issues, not just bugs.

And we have an automated build system that we can run from the CVS
server out to any shared dev / QA or production server. It's
home-grown, a mixture of Ant, Perl and Unix shell scripts. We tag all
release candidate builds so we can automatically reproduce a known,
tested code base directly from CVS to a target server.

In your CFAPPLICATION tag, set the setDomainCookies attribute to
"yes". You'll have to log out and re-log in to get the domain-level
cookie if a cookie already exists, but that should take care of it.

its either no information is sent or part of the information is sent. It 
doesn't seem to be browser specific , I get the error in IE,FireFox, and 
Netscape. Is this a common error? Could it be related to Network issues? How 
does someone handle these situations especially if u do multiple form 
submissions (one after another)?

Here is an example of code that was sent which is basically just text input 
fields and below is the error message that was generated:

Has anyone had any experience in linking SharePoint with ColdFusion?

Our Asst VP thinks SharePoint is the future of web development and wants
to use it as a portal home page rather than ColdFusion.

I will say that some SP stuff is OK, but it's not the be-all, end-all of
web development.  I would say it is the server version of FrontPage
(ugh).

I want to research building a CF site, using domain cookies, that will
also log me into the SharePoint portal or vice-versa.  This would, as
Ben says, "Use CF as the glue."  I have a working sample of cross-domain
cookies, but how would that work with SP?

How do I take a CF site that does not use web server authentication
(IIS) and have it bypass, for lack of a better word, the browser
authentication for SharePoint?  I certainly hope I don't have to create
a custom .Net web part.

JRun Clustering Behavior?

[Brandon Harper]

I've been setting-up/testing a simple JRun cluster with instances of
ColdFusion MX 7.0 and one thing which does not seem to be documented
well about JRun is what events signal adding/dropping instances from a
cluster, what errors it can or can't recover from by switching to
another instance in the cluster, etc.  If someone could pass on a link
about this that I haven't been able to find, that would be great. 
Otherwise I have a laundry list of questions below...

Here is the setup I'm using (all are Windows 2003 servers):

1 Web server connected to 1 JRun Cluster

JRun Cluster contains 2 servers

Each JRun Server contains 2 instances of a given application, so there
are basically 4 instances in the cluster total.

No load balancing between the web server and the JRun servers or any
of that sort of stuff yet, it's just a basic cluster I'm setting-up
for a product beta.


Here are my specific questions (that is, if there isn't anywhere I can
read about this stuff)...

1.  Other than stopping an instance, what events/exceptions would
trigger a JRun application instance to be dropped from the cluster?

2.  What events does using the JRun drivers pointing to a cluster (as
in not using a load balancer) help catch gracefully?  So far it looks
like only when an instance has stopped. For instance I've got several
"cannot connect to JRun" errors when I've intentionally made a server
busy.  I haven't tried shutting down a server completely then trying
it out yet-- does it catch that?

3.  How does an instance which has been restarted or otherwise dropped
from the cluster make it's way back into the cluster?  I've tried a
lot of scenarios with this in particular, and can't figure it out.  It
just seems to eventually reappear, but it takes a very long time for
that to happen.

Mostly I'm just trying to get a good feel for how well or not this
scenario works so that I can troubleshoot potential problems with it
in the future.  I'd greatly appreciate any advice or any useful links
you could send my way.  I've read tons and tons of stuff about
clustering in JRun, but nothing specifically about how JRun clustering
behaves/reacts in different scenarios.

Thanks,

- Brandon

RE: What's your setup for multiple developers

[RADEMAKERS Tanguy]

Most source control systems work on the assumption that each developer
will check out and work on his or her own copy of the source code. This
works fine for traditional development stuff (checkout, edit, compile,
debug, commit, [merge]), but it tends to be a bit more difficult for web
developers. To do it right, each developer needs his or her own web
server or web root (at least) but this only addresses part of the
problem. What to do about things like databases, web server
configurations, dns setups, etc.? Yes, you can duplicate all of these
for every developer and manage them with source control tools, but the
overhead is substantial, especially if you work in an agency setting
with many different client projects, each with a different setup (some
you host, some they host, on different web servers, using different dbs,
etc.) This is especially problematic in bug fixing scenarios - when the
customer is screaming down the phone you don't want to spend half a day
setting up an exact copy of their production environment before you can
start looking for the problem, so you tend to make the fixes on the live
environment and then apply them to the release version you tagged in
source control. If you do this, i recommend diffing what you think you
released with what's running in production. It's an education.

I've gone from using CVS in a small company to using Rational ClearCase
in a big company, and have always used both the same way: multiple
developers working in the same sandbox (or view in clearcase) at the
same time. Yes, this means my colleagues and I can both edit the same
file at the same time, with changes being overwritten just as before.
Some people react as if this was some sort of cross between stupidity
and criminal negligence, but source code control is about much much more
than making sure that bob's changes don't squash alice's. We can see
what changed, when, by who (only in clearcase - in CVS it's always the
person who checked out the sandbox who checks it in, and gets the credit
for all the changes), what version was released, etc. etc. - all that
good stuff. And delivering code to the customer is a real pleasure -
only the files that have changed, with an easy way to track what was
changed and why. 

I'm going to preach to the choir here for a moment, but some form of
source control is a real necessity for a professional developer - even
if he or she works alone. Don't get hung up on which software you're
using, as long as you are using something (and not the "make a zip and
name it client_project.20050412.zip" approach. Or even, god forbid, use
your backups as a poor man's source control.). It changes the way you
work - it eliminates the fear that you're going to break something. No
matter how badly you mess up the code, you will always be able to roll
back - hours, days, weeks - to a time when it all worked. I used to
comment out big sections of code (just in case it was something clever
in stead of the bug i thought it was) - no more: select, delete, don't
even flinch. And remember when you had to do all those bug fixes twice
(once on the copy of the client's version and once in the new code)?
Just check out two sandboxes (branch for bug fixing and head for new
work) on two different servers, then merge the changes from the branch
back into the head at some point. The first time i did this was after
making a huge number of changes over a long long period, and i was
drinking at the bar before 6 pm.

You ought to be using some kind of version control system, if only for
auditing purposes. CVS is fine, but you might want to got for
Subversion, Perforce, or something else. Haven't used SourceSafe, but
I haven't heard good things. Subversion and CVS are free, but others
aren't.

Next you want the developer version of whatever you're using.
Thankfully, this is all free.

RE: CF and DMZs

[Connie DeCinko]

One scenario is to have that internal box for all of your authoring and
prestaging.  No one ever touches code on the box in the DMZ.  You have a
scheduled task that copies changes to it for you.  It only accepts changes
from the other box.

Having an intranet webserver behind your firewall and the public one in the
DMZ isn't such a bad idea.

It is also possible to run CF in distributed mode, so that it is on a
separate machine to that of the webserver, so the CF machines can all be
behind the firewall (instead of having one in the DMZ with the webserver).

Version control can only do so much. When two people work on the same file,
even if they don't work on the same lines of code, they can easily break
each other's work.

Web Server Configuration Tool

[David Delbridge]

Hi all,

Does MX7's "Web Server Configuration Tool" do anything (in IIS) beyond 
what we used to do manually?  I've got scripts that take care of this 
already and don't know if there is something special going on here in MX 
7 that will give me cause to modify or dump them.

To my knowledge, all that needs to be done when adding a new IIS virtual 
site on a multi-homed CF server is:

  - add script mappings (.cfm, .cfml, )
  - add CFIDE virtual directory
  - add JRunScripts virtual directory

Is the Web Server Configuration Tool doing anything else?  [I see that 
it takes as input the virtual server's webroot.  What for?!]

Any input is appreciated.

Dave

SourceSafe is a crock.  Learn it, accept it and move on.

These conflicts are almost always a case of opening the file and
manually merging the changes between the multiple edits.  These rare
occurances should never cause enough concern that a decent revision
management system is not used, that would be just foolish.

Is this a limitation of MS SourceSafe, or of version control in general? 
I thought in cvs/svn, 2+ developers can check out the same file, modify 
and commit it without problems, so long as they work on different parts 
of the file. If they make changes that overwrite each other's, a 
conflict is thrown, which I understand, can be a pain.

Re: Building Applications for multiple DB's

[Matt Robertson]

my CMPro cms has supported Access, mySQL, SQL Server and Oracle for a
few years now, and all code uses the same SQL.  Doing the job isn't as
bad as you might think, but you do have to make some allowances, and
in some cases dumb-down your SQL so it will work on anything, perhaps
moving some things out of the db and into your code (like the
case-sensitivity issue for Oracle).

The only truly separate SQL I have to write is the table creators in
the install routine.  The difference in the syntax is significant. 
Access uses memo fields, mySQL uses text or mediumtext, SQL Server
uses ntext and Oracle uses CLOB.  Everything is different, basically.

In Oracle you can only have one long text field per table, so this may
impact your application design (you can break this rule by writing an
ALTER TABLE cfquery that will add the second CLOB field and it will
work, however).

Inserts are a small challenge.  All platforms support numeric PK's,
although Oracle does it through sequences.  My system looks at a
number.  db type "4" = Oracle.  So an insert would look like this:


INSERT INTO myfile
(
ID,
myfield
)
VALUES 
(
seq_myfile.nextval,

)


Note the null statement.  If your app allows feeding null values you
will have to use this kind of null checker to keep Oracle from blowing
up.  Its probably a smart idea to do on general principles.

Keep your cfsqltypes simple.  Universal ones are cf_sql_varchar,
cf_sql_longvarchar (long text fields), cf_sql_numeric and
cf_sql_decimal.  You will have to either move all of your date fields
out of cfqueryparam (i.e. use raw sql) or switch to text fields and
handle date logic in CF to preserve your use of cfqueryparam, as
everything but Access understands cf_sql_timestamp for a date/time
field.  Access understands nothing.

Then there's the concept of assigning a pk and querying back for the
thing as you continue your processing.  There is only one truly
cross-platform way to do this other than writing custom SQL that fires
conditionally.  Create a UUID in memory, put it into a field on your
insert and query back for it after the insert.  Its an extra indexed
field but you need no locks or cftransaction blocks to get gauranteed
integrity.  Also a UUID can be handy for other things down the road,
like salt for a hash, so I don't consider the practice inefficient in
the grand scheme.

And little crap is going to pop up in your code.  I had some fits with
some list code that turned out to be Access feeding back numeric
values to me with a decimal whether I liked it or not and whether the
field was formatted for decimals or not (i.e. '12.0' instead of
'12'.).  I couldn't get it to stop so now I use fix() anywhere that
might be an issue.

Once you get past the initial hump it isn't so bad.  Overall it can be
fairly simple to write cross-platform apps but you'll have to unlearn
some things.
