Your code has errors. There are plenty of cases where you want no indication of an error to be shown to a user (which is exactly what a site wide error handler would indicate), especially when the error involves uploading foreign files to your server or your database choking on the info they tried to pass to it. There are of course better ways to deal with both but they aren't guaranteed to stop any errors from being displayed like an empty cfcatch. 2. Your user is giving your code input that you didn't anticipate. See above 3. There is an external problems, like a database being unavailable. I doubt that skipping over an error or two, for whatever reason, would be your biggest problem if there was no database available to your application There are cases where a try/catch block is warranted, so long as it's used properly What is the proper use and does it exclude catching errors that might be thrown by a cffile or cfquery?

Re: Using cfinclude with component
Only extend one with the other if that makes sense for the object model; it should be an is a relationship not a has a relationship. E.g. if you are including a contact details object in a person object, that's a has a relationship and doing it via extension is inappropriate. In that case use object composition instead, instantiating one object inside another, in the example above making the contact details object part of the person object.

How to batch a change of DSNs
Hello, Yesterday I was requested to change a couple (~25) of server names in DSNs. I didn't want to lose my time through the crappy (non-practical) admin interface, so of course I went on doing a search/replace in neo-query.xml, which works our fine, except that I had to stop the server while doing the search/replace. Is there a less invasive way (without stopping the server) of performing this kind of work? Any hints welcome!

RE: Using try/catch all over the place a good thing?
There are cases where a try/catch block is warranted, so long as it's used properly What is the proper use and does it exclude catching errors that might be thrown by a cffile or cfquery? A proper use would be what you described, where you have a file coming in to be imported and there may be errors when trying to parse it, or an unexpected result from a web service call, or any number of other places like this. Whether you use a site-wide error template or catch the error, you probably want to let the user know about it (either there's a problem with the site, a problem with their input, or the planets aren't aligned, or whatever). As for CFFILE and CFQUERY, sure, you can catch individual errors if you like, but I wouldn't bother unless you plan on doing something specific with them. Now if you have an instance where the only thing you're using a database for is pulling banner ads, and the DB isn't available, that would be a case where you could catch the error, ignore it, and safely move on. Just make sure you have some checks in your banner display code for the existence of your variables and such before trying to display it. No sense in stopping the visitor from viewing the site just because your ads are unavailable for whatever reason. As for wrapping cftry/catch around EVERYTHING, I missed that part. That was what started the thread, or at least that's the impression I got from the original poster; that he wanted to wrap everything in one big try/catch block. -Justin Scott ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

I missed commenting on the EVERYTHING since I thought he was looking for a solution to this... I can see a problem though where the cffile might work, then the query fails but you don't know it you probably want to let the user know about it Usually, yes, but again, there are plenty of occassions where you do not want to do that or do not want to interrupt the remaining experience because of a trivial error.

Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 8:01 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Using try/catch all over the place a good thing? There are cases where a try/catch block is warranted, so long as it's used properly What is the proper use and does it exclude catching errors that might be thrown by a cffile or cfquery? A proper use would be what you described, where you have a file coming in to be imported and there may be errors when trying to parse it, or an unexpected result from a web service call, or any number of other places like this. Whether you use a site-wide error template or catch the error, you probably want to let the user know about it (either there's a problem with the site, a problem with their input, or the planets aren't aligned, or whatever). As for CFFILE and CFQUERY, sure, you can catch individual errors if you like, but I wouldn't bother unless you plan on doing something specific with them. Now if you have an instance where the only thing you're using a database for is pulling banner ads, and the DB isn't available, that would be a case where you could catch the error, ignore it, and safely move on. Just make sure you have some checks in your banner display code for the existence of your variables and such before trying to display it. No sense in stopping the visitor from viewing the site just because your ads are unavailable for whatever reason. As for wrapping cftry/catch around EVERYTHING, I missed that part. That was what started the thread, or at least that's the impression I got from the original poster; that he wanted to wrap everything in one big try/catch block. -Justin Scott ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Andy, do you read posts from this list often? Dreamweaver is not well regarded on this list. It is like going to an Apple convention, standing up and asking which version of windows you should use. Seriously, if you are going to use dreamweaver for coding only, there really isn't that much of a learning curve. When you first start it, choose code style and you'll be good to go. The only thing that might take a few minutes is setting up a site. But that really is quite easy and once that is done, you'll be up and running. You can learn the many time savers Dreamweaver allows (code snippets, dragging table/column names from database tab to your coding pane, putting tag editors/tag completion for your own custom tags, and some cool stuff in 8 I haven't tried yet...still using 2004) a little at a time. Tag completion for CF is very good in Dreamweaver. I have been wanting to try CFEclipse for some time now, but I just do not want to take the time to learn it.

Andy, do you read posts from this list often? Dreamweaver is not well regarded on this list. It is like going to an Apple convention, standing up and asking which version of windows you should use. Seriously, if you are going to use dreamweaver for coding only, there really isn't that much of a learning curve. When you first start it, choose code style and you'll be good to go. The only thing that might take a few minutes is setting up a site. But that really is quite easy and once that is done, you'll be up and running. You can learn the many time savers Dreamweaver allows (code snippets, dragging table/column names from database tab to your coding pane, putting tag editors/tag completion for your own custom tags, and some cool stuff in 8 I haven't tried yet...still using 2004) a little at a time. Tag completion for CF is very good in Dreamweaver. I have been wanting to try CFEclipse for some time now, but I just do not want to take the time to learn it.

Reading session vars from another scope
I have a login, that writes session variables to the Main site. The application.cfm file gives the app the name of main. Then I take the user to a sub-folder, through cflocation. The subfolder has it's own application cfm file and gives itself the name of 'main', where I then copy the variables to the variables scope using: cfapplication name=main sessionmanagement=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)# cfset variables.foo = duplicate(session) This seems to work ok and I can dump the information. Then I change the application name and make it's session variables the same as the previously duped variables: cfapplication sessionmanagement=yes setclientcookies=yes name=dbf clientmanagement=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan (0,0,20,0)# cfset session = duplicate(variables.foo) This seems to work and I can dump the information. Finally, I have an index file that cfincludes a login check. It also checks to see if session.dn exists. It does because I've duped it through this process, but the check fails. Oddly though the cfoutput does not fail. I'm not sure how to resolve this. here's the final code: cfif NOT structKeyExists(session,'dn') !--- it goes in here, but session.dn does exist causes it's output with t he following cfoutpout --- br struct key does not existbr cfoutput session:#session.dn#br session.id:#session.id#br session.access_level:#session.access_level# /cfoutput thanks for any help. _ Daniel Kessler Department of Public and Community Health University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://hhp.umd.edu ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

The answer is, you can't. You should test. Test and test and test. But I've NEVER, EVER seen a structured test program that (a) didn't take like 100 man-hours of setup time, (b) didn't suck down a ton of engineering resources, and (c) actually found any particularly relevant bugs. Unit testing is a great way to pay a bunch of engineers to be bored out of their minds and find not much of anything. [I know -- one of my first jobs was writing unit test code for Lighthouse Design, for the now-president of Sun Microsystems.] You'd be MUCH, MUCH better offer hiring beta testers (or, better yet, offering bug bounties to the general public).

I am currently using Flex Builder 2 as a plugin to Eclipse along with (of course!) CFEclipse and AFAE. In this sense I love Eclipse I can do my java dev, my XML dev, CF and Flex, then I head over to do HTML using AFAE, get a plugin for JS and Database browsing (did you know that RDS for CFE is in the works?) as well as actually browsing the web ALL from the same IDE!

They perform some added valoidation, but essentially pass arguments through to internal CFCs. They often call multiple internal CFCs which each have a CFTRANSACTION block. The problem: I really need ALL the methods called by the webservices to either to commit the data they are attempting to or all data changes across all methods called by a webservices should be rolled back. Of course as we know you cannot nest CFTRANSACTION blocks. So whatya think I should do? I did think of removing the CFTRANSACTION blocks from the internal CFCs, but that doesn't seem right.then developers would have to know to wrap calls to the methods in those CFCs with CFTRANSACTIONand that flys in the face of the black box characteristics of CFCsall you should need to know about them is their name and the arguments and associated data types (it would also mean webservice consumers could skip the CFTRANSACTION step and screw my data).

Re: Using try/catch all over the place a good thing?
Another consequence of emailing errors, if you are sending diagnostic info with the error (and you should be), you could be emailing passwords, credit card numbers etc. etc. that are passed in the form scope. Consider that when developing your error handling. I like to store them in a db, with a fallback to a write to disk. I only email myself a 'you've got errors' email, if I send the email at all as opposed to checking the log (I use a server monitor to find things like dead db's killing the site). Hand in hand with that is a cfscheduled task that deletes all errors older than X days. Also, consider using a site wide error handler AND a cferror tag AND, on a granular level, cftry/cfcatch. Use cftry/cfcatch to protect individual blocks of code where you want a specific error handled a specific way (like a mime type failure on an upload). Use cferror as your application's general error handler and use a sitewide handler to bat cleanup in case something goes wrong with Plans A and B. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: REPOST: Re: CFCs, webservices and CFTRANSACTION
Yes, you cannot nest cftransaction tags - but there is a workaround this. You just need to create your own controller regarding who is going to do cftransaction (is it me or the other function?). It all depends on your situation, but usually CFCs that wrap internal CFC (while themselves they are exposed) should not do directly any DB operations. This implies you may even not need a controller for the function that needs to do cftransaction. A controller can be just a function input variable (easy case) or more complex logic (I seen people do recursive functions and use this scope for cftransaction control). And on final note, it would be just nice to nest cftransactions, I think it was on CF7 wish list and I bet it is now on CF8 wish list.

Not StructKeyExists
Since I didn't get an answer on my last post, I'm gonna try to explain it another way. I copied the set of session variables to the variables scope using cfset variables.foo = duplicate(session) then I make a new app using a cfapplication tag. I then copy the variables scope to my new applications session using: cfset session = duplicate(variables.foo) When I do the test StructKeyExists(session,'dn'), it fails, saying it does not exist. But when I output it, it outputs fine. Is this because it's just putting it into a variable called session, not in the session scope?

RE: Unit testing sucks?
I hope this is not some kind of invitation to a flame war, but just for a quick response, testing in general is a broad topic, comparable in scope to programming. I am sure most people don't have rock hard rules for programming style for *every* situation. These things change rules change and are flexible, both in testing and programming. What matters is what you program and what you test when determining the best strategy for doing both. For example, I am sure you would want the test department to give you a guarantee that program is bug free (there are many definitions of a software bug out there, thus quotation marks) for things like nuclear reactor controller software or aircraft navigation system. For a web application that is your personal website, you may get away with few bugs. As examples illustrate, the type and amount of testing or even proving that your program is correct is directly related to the type of application you are writing. To answer original question, one cannot even comment on blog author testing strategy without him specifying what type of software they are writing (what quality is expected of the software peace, what resources they have for the project etc.).

Re: CFCs, webservices and CFTRANSACTION
I would probably suggest leaving your CFCs with all of the cftransactions as they are, to maintain the black box characteristic. Then I would build some sort of log in the webservice that is invoking all of these other cfcs, to track what should be undone if some step fails. Throw it all inside a try/catch block and then when you have an error, throw an exception, and in your catch block, run through the undo steps. This is analogous to what the database will do when you use transactions, but since you want to do it across multiple cfcs you have to manage it yourself. Just my idea. -Chris Hey All, The setup: I have webservices that are essentially wrappers for internal CFCs.

So, are you saying that I should copy over to session.user (will this go in the session scope even then or will it still be in the variables scope?) and just leave it there? Currently all my apps check for session.dn and I'd have to change them to session.user.dn in this case, right? thanks for answering - I was getting worried. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Not StructKeyExists
So, are you saying that I should copy over to session.user (will this go in the session scope even then or will it still be in the variables scope?) and just leave it there? If you talk about Session.foo, CF will know you mean the Session scope. Currently all my apps check for session.dn and I'd have to change them to session.user.dn in this case, right? Presumably, yes. You could probably do this with a find and replace.

I wasn't really paying attention to this until one day I accidentally created an infinite loop on a page. I was trying to figure out why my page was just sitting and spinning with nothing happening, then I decided it must be stuck in a loop. No big deal, I fixed it and moved on.

RE: Using try/catch all over the place a good thing?
Well put. I believe I may just stop including any details at all in my error emails after reading that but instead, as you described, just send an email that says basically, 'youve got errors at mysite.com'. And then just build a reusable error interface component for my sites. It would... A) keep me from building the elaborate outlook folder structure to hold any error emails that might be triggered by the error handlers of my sites B) Keep the errors located at their origin and easily found C) Give the resources for a better error ticket reporting method and track history of the application.

Another consequence of emailing errors, if you are sending diagnostic info with the error (and you should be), you could be emailing passwords, credit card numbers etc. etc. that are passed in the form scope. Consider that when developing your error handling. I like to store them in a db, with a fallback to a write to disk. I only email myself a 'you've got errors' email, if I send the email at all as opposed to checking the log (I use a server monitor to find things like dead db's killing the site). Hand in hand with that is a cfscheduled task that deletes all errors older than X days. Also, consider using a site wide error handler AND a cferror tag AND, on a granular level, cftry/cfcatch. Use cftry/cfcatch to protect individual blocks of code where you want a specific error handled a specific way (like a mime type failure on an upload). Use cferror as your application's general error handler and use a sitewide handler to bat cleanup in case something goes wrong with Plans A and B. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: OT: Unit testing sucks?
So I'm pretty new to the concept of 'unit testing', but I ALWAYS do extensive testing of my apps. I was under the impression that unit testing was always done with a product or tool, and that is what the author is saying stinks. Am I way off base? Say for example that I write a spider that crawls my site and nails every user input point with specific and/or random data.

Template cache problem
Hi all, I'm working on a cfml event gateway and am having issues getting CF to see changes made to the CFC. The only way I can get CF to see the changes is to restart cf sever or hit the 'clear template cache' button. I've got 'Maximum number of cached templates' set to zero and have restarted CF server. So one would expect the effect of hitting the 'clear template cache' button to be unnecessary, right? 'Trusted cache', 'Save class files' and 'Cache web server paths' are all unchecked. I can also verify that no class files are being stored. And this behavior is not found in any other CFCs. Also, in case someone is wondering, the CFC is not stored in application or session scope. Any ideas here? Thanks. I'm running CF7, btw (7,0,0,91690) -Rich ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:221540 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: OT: Unit testing sucks?
Well, that's not really what he's saying... his real objection is that unit testing *tools* suck and that developers just don't know how to write automated tests. I agree with that - but do you think it's the developer's fault? In the end, I think they must be at least partially accountable, given that they're the ones writing the tests. However, I have noticed an increase in the marketing schpeal for testing tools recently that promise nirvana - and I can't help but think that IT managers contribute to the problem by believing them. Unit tests are very valuable *if* they are set up correctly but most test harnesses are a pain in the @$$ to use and in order to write test cases you often end up writing even more code than your original code My old company wrote unit tests that were very silly. (It suited them). For each business object you wrote, you had to check in a unit test that (at minimum) tested: getter/setter of each property (kind of silly in C#, really, because you're testing the language itself at that point...), and that BO's ability to CRUD itself (please, don't ask why it could do that.) Given that the overarching framework was a bear and those were the minimum test requirements, nobody ever wrote tests against the BO's ability to perform the logic they were intended to do - which is where I think unit tests become valuable! However, I recently had to crank out an application in a very short timespan - the UI was likely to be decided at the last minute, but the business requirements were known and well defined from the start. We wrote semantical/logical test harnesses (tested business processes, not getter/setters!), fulfilled them, then glued on the UI to the resultant model, and had a very successful launch: the UAT team reported one bug. I think Unit tests are like many of the other tools we discuss (OO, design patterns, flash, ruby on rails)...you're as likely to shoot yourself in the foot as you are to accomplish anything unless you learn about and think about what you're doing. -Joe -- Get Glued!

Re: OT: Unit testing sucks?
Sean, I certainly hope you include the testing tools in coldfusion as well when you say they are hard to use. I agree that there is a lot of code that is written to put together automated tests, but the long-term benefit tends to be worth it if the tests are maintained along with the code they verify. Yes, it should be easier, but how? On 10/19/05, Munson, Jacob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I'm pretty new to the concept of 'unit testing', but I ALWAYS do extensive testing of my apps.

Re: Server Just Hung after 7.01 update, administration help
pages just were not loading, cf admin wasn't loading, jrun wasn't taking much memory, jrun had 0 CPU time. A restart of the service fixed the problem. I know it was working at 10:30, the problem was reported to me around 11 but there is nothing suspicious in the error logs. Are there any other ways to see what coldfusion is doing besides task manager and just opening a page? Are there any logs to look at besides the ones listed in the cf administrator?
