Subject: CFFILE issues


A user of image.cfc reported a problem with the writeImage() function
since I implemented saving the image to a temp file and then moving it.

He wrote in my blog:

  *  If I use the resize() method and pass in both the source and
destination file paths CF throws an error when moving the temp
file. The tmp file is created, is owned by the same user as the
CF user and is readable. CFFILE says the source attribute is
invalid.

Later in the comments, he mentions that move doesn't work, but it works
fine if he uses two separate cffile operations to copy and then delete,
instead of moving.

Has anyone come across anything like that before?

Rick

Re: verity problem with phrase searching

2006-12-15 Thread daniel schmid

Hi Mark

I just had the same problem... You have to read the spec on livedocs to 
understand what  verity all does ;)

I solved the problem with the AND operator:

1) clean the verity searchcrtieria with the exzellent verityclean udf from 
cflib.org
cfset var cleanSearchstring = _verityclean(trim(lcase(arguments.criteria)))/

2) than replace any empty space with the AND operator 
cfset  cleanSearchstring = replace(cleanSearchstring,  ,  and ,all)/

If you using english language pack - what you probably do - that works 
excellent... but not when you use the german language pack. Thee AND operator 
doesn't work as exspected with the german language pack (!?!?)...nobody knows 
why, I guess, it is a bug in the language pack.

Daniel

 Hi All
 
 I'm doing a phrase search with verity with following phrase (j2ee 
 struts)
 
 I am using MX7 and type simple
 
 This should just return results containing the phrase but it returns 
 results with j2ee OR struts
 
 Can any one help? According to the documentation this should work.

But it only works for some sites I believe. If it's the one I remember, it
ties in to Ask.com's screenshot library which doesn't include every site.

Not being a wisea$$ here, I truly am wondering how to do it, since this

I like that exe that Snake linked to.  I'm pretty sure cfexecute is disabled

CSS, border-bottom is on top

2006-12-15 Thread Jacob Munson

I suck at CSS.  This seems simple enough, but I want to avoid using
tables.  I want to have code like this:
div class=header2Section
  div class=header2Leftleft content/div
  div class=header2Rightright content/div
/div
where header2Left is left aligned, and header2Right is right aligned,
but those two divs need to be next to each other horizontally, and

Understanding email errors

2006-12-15 Thread Victor Moore

Hi,

40 to 50 times a day this is an error message that pops up in the mail log
in CFMX 7.02:
Exception reading response;   nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
and as a result the emails are sent to the undelivered folder.
Is this a CFMX problem, mail server problem or network problem?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks
Victor

RE: CSS, border-bottom is on top

That's because you're floating the two divs contained within header2section.
When you float an item you take it out of the normal page flow, which means
that as far as header2section is concerned, it has no contents.

Try putting a height on header2section (assuming that the height of the two
inside divs is fixed.

Components Fusebox 5

2006-12-15 Thread Chris Ditty

I am trying to write my first fusebox 5 app using MX7 and components.
I usually like to keep my functions in a seperate file in another
directory.  When I try and do an include, I get an error saying that I
am missing a Fuse.

I could include this function library in all my pages, but I would
rather it be called just once per fuse action.

Any ideas?

RE: website thumbnail

2006-12-15 Thread Joshua Cyr

Well, I was thinking CFDocument at first, but CFMX doesn't save as image
yet.  Seems ralio does as well as BD 7 (beta).  So maybe Sorpio may?  It
would be nice if you can leverage some Java for it, but not likely to be
supported on shared host either.

I think I would also consider not using CF at all.  Get a list of URL's and
have an outside program run against them on some sort of schedule.  Either
on the server or outside box then upload them periodically.

Maybe something like this one which seems to be able to do both.

RE: Coldfusion salaries - Nashville, TN

2006-12-15 Thread Steve Brownlee

My first mother-in-law was a top-notch, nationally recognized
professional coach and she taught me a few things about interviews and
jobs that have served my very well over the years.

1.  Companies can always afford to pay you more than they offer you.
2.  Always counter-offer their proposed salary. It's expected, even if
they say no.
3.  If they give you the first opportunity to say what salary you are
expecting, they are unwittingly giving you a position of strength.  Take
the number you would expect to get for this position and add $15,000
dollars.  It's a fantastic place to start negotiations from.

Now, these are very hard steps to take.  These are skills that we are
not born with and we've been indoctrinated during our entire lives to
not negotiate when it comes to salaries as it might come across as
greedy.  Your first attempt at negoating will be very uncomfortable.
Try practicing it with a family member or a friend, just to get
comfortable with the conversation.

The company wants to offer you as little as possible for your skills,
and you should be asking for the most amount possible for your skills.
More often than not, a compromise that makes both parties happy occurs.

Good luck!

I've been offered a position with a company here in Nashville, TN.
Everything that I've seen so far about the offer sounds great, including
the pay. I just wanted to ask a a few general questions because I don't
like talking about money.

1) Should I take the first offer they make? Should I counteroffer for
the sake of counteroffering?

2) Where can I go to find real-world salaries? I checked Salary.com but
their listings for my area seem really high.

Thanks in advance everyone.

RE: Understanding email errors

2006-12-15 Thread Brad Wood

Hmm, I don't really know what is causing your problem (probably the mail
server), but what I did was write a scheduled job which runs on the hour
on each of my web servers and monitors the undeliverable folder for
files dated today. If more than 5 E-mails fail in one day, it sends me
a text message through an external SMTP server. I coded a simple page
which reads the files in the undeliverable folder and parses out the
addresses and message text for display so I can take a quick look at all
of them. Then at the click of a button I cffile copy them all back to
the spool folder. On my network most of our E-mail failures were caused
when the techs would turn off relaying to external E-mail addresses.
Once they fixed it, everything would resend fine.

~Brad

40 to 50 times a day this is an error message that pops up in the mail
log
in CFMX 7.02:
Exception reading response; nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
and as a result the emails are sent to the undelivered folder.
Is this a CFMX problem, mail server problem or network problem?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

The resizing is done with Rick's image.cfc, and if you click on the 
thumbnail, you will see the original jpg created by cfdocument.
Seems to have trouble with sites with a lot of JS, but I would assume 
that many of these screen capture methods would.

This is BD7 JX Beta 2 Running on CentOS 3.  Note that the free version

RE: Coldfusion salaries - Nashville, TN

2006-12-15 Thread Snake

I have always been offered salaries greater than I was expecting plus all
the extras and bonuses from the outset, so never really had to negotiate
much.
It all very much depends on what sort of impression you make on an employer.
If they think you're the best thing since sliced bread, then they will do
whatever they can to get you working for them.
If your not very self confident then your probably gonna have to start at
the bottom and fight your way up.

My first mother-in-law was a top-notch, nationally recognized professional
coach and she taught me a few things about interviews and jobs that have
served my very well over the years.

1.  Companies can always afford to pay you more than they offer you.
2.  Always counter-offer their proposed salary. It's expected, even if they
say no.
3.  If they give you the first opportunity to say what salary you are
expecting, they are unwittingly giving you a position of strength.  Take the
number you would expect to get for this position and add $15,000 dollars.
It's a fantastic place to start negotiations from.

Now, these are very hard steps to take.  These are skills that we are not
born with and we've been indoctrinated during our entire lives to not
negotiate when it comes to salaries as it might come across as greedy.  Your
first attempt at negoating will be very uncomfortable.
Try practicing it with a family member or a friend, just to get comfortable
with the conversation.

The company wants to offer you as little as possible for your skills, and
you should be asking for the most amount possible for your skills.
More often than not, a compromise that makes both parties happy occurs.

Good luck!

Hey everyone...

I've been offered a position with a company here in Nashville, TN.
Everything that I've seen so far about the offer sounds great, including the
pay. I just wanted to ask a a few general questions because I don't like
talking about money.

1) Should I take the first offer they make? Should I counteroffer for the
sake of counteroffering?

2) Where can I go to find real-world salaries? I checked Salary.com but
their listings for my area seem really high.

Thanks in advance everyone.

You can also float the parent, which will then contain the floated children.

That's because you're floating the two divs contained within header2section.
When you float an item you take it out of the normal page flow, which means
that as far as header2section is concerned, it has no contents.

Try putting a height on header2section (assuming that the height of the two
inside divs is fixed.

Subject: CSS, border-bottom is on top


I suck at CSS.  This seems simple enough, but I want to avoid using tables.
I want to have code like this:
div class=header2Section
  div class=header2Leftleft content/div
  div class=header2Rightright content/div /div where header2Left is
left aligned, and header2Right is right aligned, but those two divs need to
be next to each other horizontally, and /not/ screw up the alignment of the
other items around them.  Here's what I've got now, and it seems to work
except that the border-bottom of headerSection appears at the top of this
header!

.header2Section {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #414D66;
padding-left: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.header2Left {
float: left;
text-align:left;
}

.header2Right {
float: right;
text-align:right;
}

Any ideas?

RE: Components Fusebox 5

2006-12-15 Thread Sandra Clark

You might want to use instantiate / and invoke /  for your cfc.  In that
case, if you don't want to create a mapping for your cfc, then you can place
your cfc's in a directory under the parsed directory.

In fusebox.xml
classes
class alias=functions classpath=cfc.functions type=component
constructor=init /
/classes

globalfuseactions
appinit
do action=public.initfunction /
/appinit
/globalfuseactions

In your circuit (I called it public, you can call it from wherever you want)
fuseaction name=initfunction
instantiate object=application.functions
class=functions overwrite=true /
/fuseaction

Then when you need to call a function from it, you would call it either via
the invoke or set tags

set name=returnitemifnecessary
value=#application.functions.methodcall()# /
 OR 
invoke returnvariable=returnitemifnecessary object=application.function
methodcall=methodToBeCalled()
parameter name=parametername value=parametervalue /
/invoke

 Subject: Components  Fusebox 5

 I am trying to write my first fusebox 5 app using MX7 and components.
 I usually like to keep my functions in a seperate file in another
directory.
 When I try and do an include, I get an error saying that I am missing 
 a Fuse.

 I could include this function library in all my pages, but I would 
 rather it be called just once per fuse action.

 Any ideas?

 thanks

Re: Certification

2006-12-15 Thread Teddy Payne

Certification is a foundation to the overall process of being a developer.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn what is new about each
revision of ColdFusion.

I assisted in a study group to help people certify and everyone who
regularly attended benefited from the material.  We use Ben's certification
as guidance, but advocated the CF Exam buster.

Years of ColdFusion usage with multiple projects will determine a well
rounded developer or problem solver.

I would recommend that if you become F certified, that you follow up with
another certification that will assist your CF knowledge.  Examples would be
database centric certifications or perhaps the entry level Java
certification.

like college degrees and even high school diplomas. In reality, they're
really not that hard to get. They don't mean you're really all that
smart because I've seen plenty of morons with Masters degrees and even

I'd have to say if a developer needs to take an exam to learn new features then 
perhaps they aren't a very good developer.

A developer should be learning constantly everyday.

Referencing Goofy Fieldnames

2006-12-15 Thread Karl

I will have data to routinely import into SQL Server from Excel files 
constructed with goofy column headers like Business Classification 
and Owner's Name that may contain spaces and/or single quotes.  I 
will need to be doing these imports fairly frequently so I am trying 
to avoid the seemingly easy solution of renaming the Excel columns 
before importing so that I can make the process almost automatic 
(saving lots of time in the long run).  Surprisingly the data get 
imported into SQL Server just fine with such goofy names as field 
names.  Since the imported data won't necessarily always have the 
exact same fieldnames or even the same order in the spreadsheet, I 
need to build a dynamic import process that will take imported Excel 
data from its first table in SQL Server and allow me to assign its 
somewhat random and goofy fieldnames to standard fieldnames in a 
second table in the same database where the data are to be actually 
used and then INSERT the data into the second table.  This takes a few steps:

Since the fieldnames may vary from import to import, I am getting 
them in a two-step process this way:

CFQUERY NAME=GetTables DATASOURCE=YadaYada
SELECT Name, id
FROM  sysobjects
WHERE  (xtype = 'U') AND (name LIKE 'Import%')
/CFQUERY

This gives me the name and id for all of my import tables that I 
output on a web page as a series of links with a URL variable 
referencing the id so that I can then use another query to get the 
fieldnames of any of my import tables like so:

CFQUERY NAME=GetFields DATASOURCE=YadaYada
SELECT name
FROM syscolumns
WHERE id = #URL.id#
/CFQUERY

I then output the fieldnames from the GetFields query like so, in 
order to use them in a third query, protecting goofy fieldnames with 
brackets so SQL Server doesn't choke:

CFSET FieldList = ''

CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetFields
CFSET FieldList = FieldList  '[#Name#], '
/CFOUTPUT

CFSET FieldList = FieldList  '3.1416 AS Pi' (this is just to dodge 
the trailing comma from the last CFSET above)


So far so good, as I am able to get the data out of each Import table 
by referencing its fieldnames (yes I could use SELECT * but then I'd 
still have the same problem as below and this does work fine):

CFQUERY NAME=GetData DATASOURCE=YadaYada
SELECT #PreserveSingleQuotes(Variables.FieldList)#
FROM #URL.TableName#
/CFQUERY

PreserveSingleQuotes is needed above to protect against bombing when 
fieldnames have single quotes in them, and the resulting dynamic 
query above can come out looking like this (keep in mind that 
fieldnames will vary slightly between different Import tables):

SELECT [Business], [Business Classification], [Location Address], 
[Mail City], [Mailing Address], [Owner's Name]
FROM ImportTable27

This ugly hack works fine up to here.  Unfortunately I am hung up 
trying to get ColdFusion to read the goofy fieldnames without 
throwing errors.  Trying to output the data in ColdFusion I get this:

Invalid CFML construct found on line 1 at column 10.  (CF gets the 
line wrong, not unusual)

ColdFusion was looking at the following text:

Classification

The error occurred in C:\htdocs\DevTesting\GetTables.cfm: line 55

53 :   CFLOOP LIST=#ValueList(GetFields.Name)# INDEX=ii
54 :  CFSET FieldName = '#ii#'
55 :  #Evaluate('#FieldName#')#
56 :   /CFLOOP
57 :


This error happens where the above CFLOOP is contained in this CFOUTPUT QUERY:

CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetData
CFLOOP LIST=#ValueList(GetFields.Name)# INDEX=ii
   CFSET FieldName = '#ii#'
   #Evaluate('#FieldName#')#
/CFLOOP
br /
/CFOUTPUT

What appears to be happening in this case is that the first field, 
Business, passes okay (the first field in the first record is output 
on the page), but Business Classification is not being read properly 
by ColdFusion since the error indicates that ColdFusion was looking 
at Classification, missing or skipping the preceding Business in the 
Business Classification field.  I have already tried several 
strategies like CFSET FieldName = '[#ii#]' in the CFLOOP but then 
ColdFusion chokes on the brackets.  Also problems occur with variants 
of #Evaluate('#FieldName#')# like #Evaluate(#FieldName#)# and 
#Evaluate(FieldName)#.  (I am using the latest MX 7 developer's 
edition and SQL Server 2000 trial edition on WinXP).

What I want to do next is output all the data onto a web page from an 
Import table so that I can look at it and decide which of the 
random/goofy fieldnames from Excel imports in SQL Server belong to 
which of my standard fieldnames in the second and final table which 
the data will be moved to.  I intend to finish this little utility so 
that I can select in dropdown boxes which fields from an Import table 
will correspond with which fields in my final data table in order to 
dynamically construct the necessary INSERT query.  All that I need to 
get past this hurdle is to figure out how to get ColdFusion to output 
goofy fieldnames dynamically as

disclaimer up front...i didn't read all of the post :)

2 things:

1) you can use the array notation with query data.
queryName[columnName][n] (where 'n' is the current row being
referenced)

2) if you can alias the column names in the SQL to something more CF
Friendly, that would avoid having to go the array notation route
mentioned above.

RE: Referencing Goofy Fieldnames

2006-12-15 Thread Ian Skinner

You need to use Array notation which allows you to reference variables that do 
not follow proper variable naming rules.  I'm not sure exactly where you would 
put this in your process but it would look something like this.

X = form[Bad Name]
OR
Y = variables[What's Up Doc]

Obviously you can use other variables in the brackets:
varName = Cool Man Luke
z = queryName[varName]

P.S.
Using array notation almost always eliminates the need to use evaluate().

Re: Certification

2006-12-15 Thread Teddy Payne

Bryan,
What if it isn't you primary job role?
What about new people?
What about right after a major update release and you want to learn and
certify on the new version ASAP?

People study in many different ways. Some people do well by doing examples
and others are good book learners.

I have been using CF for 8 years and I got a 84% because I keep mixing up
features from 6, 7 and 8.

A lot of developers get comfortable with what works and do not use the
entire language. I know that I use certain techniques over others because
of peformance reasons or code complexity. The certification forces you to
think of all of the functions you are not used to working with everyday.

I will probably retake the test and get above 84%, but just blanketly saying
what people should be doing is entirely subjective.

Cheers,
Teddy

RE: Certification

2006-12-15 Thread Doug Bezona

I'd have to say if a developer needs to take an exam to learn new
features
then
perhaps they aren't a very good developer.

Or perhaps the work they are doing simply doesn't expose them to some of
the more esoteric functions of the language that the exam likely covers.

Being a good developer has less to do with having memorized every last
tag, function and feature, and much more with how that knowledge is
applied to solve a problem. I can always look in the docs to get an
answer to a syntax question, but the docs don't tell me how to use it to
solve the particular problem in front of me - that's where experience
and skill comes in.

Exams, however, by their nature, tend to be more about reciting syntax
and knowing the language in a broad fashion, rather than a deep one.

So I can see how brushing up for an exam might give me more than a few
a ha! moments as I cover aspects of the language I simply haven't had
a real world use for, and it's useful information, but whether I knew it
or not before hand has little bearing on how well I write software.

Re: Certification

2006-12-15 Thread Brian Rinaldi

I would like to make the point that the certs are not worthless - they answer 
the question as to your knowledge for 90% of the interviews you will take...you 
will rarely get anyone outright questioning your knowledge of CF if you have 
the advanced certification. I haven't gotten the 7 cert myself yet, but I have 
other things on my resume that fill that gap on my resume in terms of providing 
proof of my CF knowledge.

I am also going to take serious issue with the concept that preparing for an 
exam is cheating. That is a seriously bone-headed comment. This exam is like 
any other exam and warrants preparation if you actually take it seriously...if 
you don't take it seriously, then don't prepare take your chances, but one 
would ask, why even bother taking it if you don't take the exam seriously 
enough to prepare.

P.S. Back when I took the exam for 5 and 6, I used the cfexambuster and it was 
excellent.

When Keystone releases a new CF7 video tutorial?

Hi everybody: I was searching for some video tutorials for coldfusion and look 
what I found http://store.keystonelearning.com/ColdFusionMX7.aspx 11chapters of 
tutorials form the very begining to some advanced options. It looks complete 
for a movie tutorial. Do you know when it will be released? It really makes 
meexcited that at last I can have a complete overview of Coldfusion7 options 
while I watch a movie.
I believe it helps many people start CF7 and some who ork with it fill their

splitting large csv file into smaller parts

Hi,
 
I have a tool that reads a nightly uploaded CSV file, and imports the data
in it into a mySQL database. This works fine, after some messing around with
the code to allow for consecutive blank fields in the CSV and stuff like
that.
 
Only problem is, some of these CSV files can be quite large, upto 8MB, with
maybe 50,000 plus records, and these are giving CF server a bit of a
headache.
 
Is there a way I can split the CSV file after upload into, lets say, 8 1Mb
files instead, and then process each one in turn. Maybe using CFFILE to read
a limited number of rows, write them into another file and then delete them
from the original. I can't think of a way to do this.
 
Cheers
 
Will

 to know if it's possible to either remove all other fonts from the list or
 force the font selector to verdana.

 Anyone have an idea on this?

RE: splitting large csv file into smaller parts

2006-12-15 Thread Ben Nadel

Perhaps you could use a Java buffered reader or a line reader and read
in a line at a time. This will stop the server from having to load an
entire file at one time. Then for each line you can parse out the fields
and apply to the DB or what ever.

I have some sample LineNumberReader code here:

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/274-Java-Exploration-in-ColdFusion-java-io-
LineNumberReader.htm
(OR http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:274.view)

This would create a LONG running page perhaps... Not sure how to deal
with that.

Subject: splitting large csv file into smaller parts

Hi,
 
I have a tool that reads a nightly uploaded CSV file, and imports the
data in it into a mySQL database. This works fine, after some messing
around with the code to allow for consecutive blank fields in the CSV
and stuff like that.
 
Only problem is, some of these CSV files can be quite large, upto 8MB,
with maybe 50,000 plus records, and these are giving CF server a bit of
a headache.
 
Is there a way I can split the CSV file after upload into, lets say, 8
1Mb files instead, and then process each one in turn. Maybe using CFFILE
to read a limited number of rows, write them into another file and then
delete them from the original. I can't think of a way to do this.
 
Cheers
 
Will

OT: AjaxCFC DHTML Question

2006-12-15 Thread loathe

Hey,

So I wrote this custom tag that basically is a select list that allows you
type in it and filters the options according to what you've typed in.

Some of the data sets in the faux dropdown list are rather large.  I am
populating a table in a floating div and then turning it visible below the
input field where the user is typing.

The problem with the large data sets (say over 100 options) is that it takes
forever to render the table.  So long in fact that FF asks if I want to stop
the script.  Here is how I populate the list:

function setPasField(){ 
var mac_id = DWRUtil.getValue(mac_id);
var macField = $(mac_id);

DWRUtil.useLoadingMessage();

if(mac_id.length == 2){
DWREngine._execute(_ajaxConfig._cfscriptLocation, null,
getPasCodes,mac_id, updatePasList);
}
}

function updatePasList(r){
DWRUtil.setValue(debug,r.dump());

DWRUtil.useLoadingImage();

alert(passBack);


}

function handleKey(myEvent,myField){
/*
 * the function handleKey() moves the highlighted area up and down
in the values div, as well as filtering the values div
 */

DWRUtil.useLoadingImage();
var myArray = new Array(1); // this array will contain the filtered
values
var myData = myField.value.toUpperCase(); // this variable contains
the current value of the form field
var newCounter = 0; // this counter is used to incriment the
filtered value array (myArray)
var loc = -1; // this variable is used to discover which value is
currently highlighted
var fieldName = myField.name;
var arrayName = myField.name + 'Array';
var contentArray = eval(arrayName);
var myDiv = $('tipDiv' + fieldName);


myDiv.style.visibility = visible;
var myDataLength = myData.length

// loop through the existing array of values, and filter out the
ones that fit with the user entered data
for(i = 0; i  contentArray.length; i++){
if(contentArray[i].substr( 0,myDataLength) == myData){
myArray[newCounter] = contentArray[i];
newCounter++
}
}

if(myArray.length  0){

var cellFuncs = [
function(data) { return 'div id=boxOption
onmouseover=this.style.backgroundColor = \'blue\'; this.style.color =
\'white\' onmouseout=this.style.backgroundColor = \'white\';
this.style.color = \'black\' onClick=handleClick(event, this, \'' +
fieldName + '\');' + data + '/div';}
];

DWRUtil.setValue('tipDiv' + fieldName,'table id=tips
border=1/table');
DWRUtil.addRows(tips,myArray,cellFuncs);  
var myTable = $(tips);

// now handle the key stroke
/*for(i = 0; i  myTable.childNodes.length; i++){
if(myTable.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].bgColor ==
blue){
myTable.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].bgColor
== white;
loc = i;
}
}

if(loc == -1){
myTable.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].bgColor ==
blue;
}
*/
}

}


Couple of problems.

1.  The time it takes making the option Div visable.  It takes freaking
forever, optimization people, any ideas?

2.  It's not working at all in IE.  I mean, nothing, and this is unusual, as
I've used the AjaxCFC suff in IE with no problems before.

3.  For some reason I keep getting an error that the response variable
doesn't exist.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ColdFusion News Aggregators

2006-12-15 Thread Nathan C. Smith

Are there any free/low cost news aggregators/readers for ColdFusion?

I would like to put something on our intranet that would let people read
feeds and hopefully share them with others for some cross-pollination.
Searching, I found mention of some aggregators, but most of them seem to be
sites and not software.

Thanks.

-Nate

Re: Certification

2006-12-15 Thread Aaron Rouse

I have seen where certifications hurt people, not in the CF world but in the
IT world. Back when I was working for a computer parts wholesaler anytime
they were hiring for techs if someone came in saying they had A+
certification that immediately meant they were not going to get hired.
Seeing some of the comments on here about how worthless a CF Certification
is makes me wonder if something similar might happen in the CF world.
Probably not an instant no-hire case but perhaps makes it harder for someone
to get hired because the hiring party might be reluctant in accepting the
person interviewing really does know their stuff.

CFC Technical Question

I just discovered something strange. I accidentally moved a CFC from my CFC
directory to a different one. Of course when I did this my application that
called a function in that CFC broke. So I cut and pasted the CFC back to
where it belongs. However, each page that calls on that CFC for a function
remained broken until I went to that page, delete the CFINVOKE tag and then
re-added it. Is this normal behavior for CFC's?

Thanks,
Bruce
