I will work on a bug and once I am happy with the fix, testing in my dev environment, I will put those changes onto the test server. We're missing some details here about the process around subversion so it's hard to directly answer the question, but one very common pattern is to create a bug-specific branch (usually off of the release branch) and fix the bug there. The full process would work something like this: * assume there's an existing branch for the release, /repo/branches/RB- 1.0 * copy the release branch /repo/branches/RB-1.0 to a bugfix branch /repo/branches/BUG-3456 * tag the beginning of the bugfix branch /repo/tags/PRE-3456 * work on bug in the bugfix branch committing as necessary * tag as necessary on bugfix branch, eg /repo/tags/QA-3456, /repo/tags/QA-3456-RC2, etc * when the bug's signed off on, tag the end of the branch /repo/tags/POST-3456 * back in the release branch, /repo/branches/RB-1.0, you can merge /tags/PRE-3456 and /tags/POST-3456 to get the release updated * roll out a new release (tagged and/or branched of course) or generate a patchfile depending on your process * check and see if the merge needs to go back into trunk/etc as appropriate Obviously this isn't strictly necessary for a typo or a very small change, though at a minimum using the tags for PRE and POST will make your life easier. As an aside, Subversion revision numbers are not in short supply -- there's no need to conserve them, and since copies in SVN are efficient, there's no worry about increasing the size of the repo every time you branch (like in BitKeeper and some other source control systems). We'll cover this stuff in my CFUnited 2007 pre conference class. At worst, if you're reading this and figuring you need to know more about Subversion, you should check out the Pragmatic Version Control using Subversion book from the Pragmatic Programmers and save yourself a lot of effort in learning SVN. After user testing, it may come back for further work, or be signed off. If signed off, it is put onto the production server. As you can imaging, there can be any number of bugs been fixed at any point in time by multiple developers. The testing can get signed off in any order and may be there for a couple of

Re: deploying changes from subversion
Maybe I need a test branch too In dev I can use switch to jump between bug001 and bug002 say Once I am happy with it I can merge that into the test branch - along with all the other developer bug fixes.

Hi Neil, I don't have any process at the moment :-( Trying to get my head around it all. The bit that is getting me is that the test server will never be 100% good to go.

Re: deploying changes from subversion
Hi AJ, You don't need to wait for signoff of all 5 bugs if you need. It comes to how severe they are based on your bug tracking. Obviously your goal is to ship as big free software as possible but there is obviously going to be known issues and undocumented features. :-). It also depends on what software development cycle you want to run with. With your SVN, imagine you have 1 project - Project1 which has the usual branches, tags and trunk (I have never ever had to use branches - had no need). Assume that test, dev and production are all the same code base as if they are not, it maked version control a little trickier. So, your trunk / dev code is now version 1.0.0 (major, minor, maintenance) but it's never labelled as such in SVN - you just know that is the build you are working *to*. You finish a set of features etc and want to release to test. Now, at this point you tag the trunk as 1.0.0. It is this tag which is released to test and your trunk now becomes 1.0.1 (or whatever release point you deem). Again, this is not labelled as such it's what you are working to. If you get 5 bugs in build 1.0.0 in test then you fix them in 1.0.1. If you only want to fix 3 then release again then you follow the same above - tag trunk as 1.0.1 and release to test. Your trunk then becomes 1.0.2 and so on and so forth. At any one point you will know what release is on what system and you know your trunk will always be in line + current development.

Re: Session Security
The main difference is that J2EE sessions use session-based cookeis (i.e. they expire when the browser closes). This can be emulated with the old-school CF sessions but you have to write the relevant code into every app. Also, to make the older CF sessions more secure you need to use a UUID for the cftoken (another option in the CF Admin). Finally, J2EE sessions allow for clustering in CF Enterprise and they also allow you to share the session scope with java servlets and JSP.

Re: Error Executing Database Query.
It does appear related to ColdFusion because it only happens between the DB and the CFMX server. It drops all communication for a period of time and then automatically comes back. I have not been able to determine the length of an outage, but I am suspicious that it may involve a time-out setting somewhere. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

Re: Reading cookie from ASP.Net to CF
In looking through the docs on machinekey, it's not clear entirely clear how you would decrypt this, as there are a couple of things going on. Also, the version of .NET you are using seems to matter. First is the validation method, which according to your machinekey settings is SHA1. SHA1 is a hash algorithm, like MD5, which can't be decrypted. In simple terms, .NET passes a hash of certain data along with the data, and validates that it matches to prevent tampering. I don't think this is actually in play with the cookie encryption, but I am really not sure. Second is the encryption method, which is used for symetrical encryption of certain things. By default, AES is the algorithm (in .NET 2.0), but it can also be DES and Triple DES. The decryption attribute in the machinekey is new as of .NET 2.0 If you are using .NET 2 or higher, try decrypting in CF using the decrypt() function, with AES as the algorithm, and your decryptionKey value from your machinekey config as the key. The validation and encryption algorithms are mutually exclusive starting in .NET 2. If using .NET 1 or 1.1, it's really not clear what to use - try AES, but it seems that the validation setting applies all around, and if set to SHA1, you may not be able to decrypt at all. You do have 3DES as an option for the validation attribute, which is a symetrical encryption algorithm (which you can decrypt), so if you can change your machinekey setting, perhaps try that and then try decrypting in cf using DESEDE as the algorithm. Also just try AES for kicks. Here's the relevant page on MSDN about machine key: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998288.aspx I know that's not quite a definitive answer, but hopefully it puts you on the right path.

Revision numbers in SVN should be meaningless -- like a primary key in a db. The whole point of a branch is that it's independent of the other development line(s). You can merge the changes of just that branch back into trunk, or a release branch, or even another bugfix branch (maybe because two bugs are related). Keep in mind that when I say merge I mean using SVN's merge command (or using svnmerge, an addon script that makes it FAR easier to manage merging branches). The recipies for all of these kinds of manipulations are in the PragProgrammers book among other sources. If two people are committing will it look like this (current revision = 99) branch - bug001 : 100 (bug001-pre), 101, 103, 104, 107(bug001-post) branch - bug002: 102, 106 And if that is the case, when I do a merge bug001 - bug002-post will it ignore revisions 102 and 106? Subversion doesn't support complex (eg 3-way) merges, so you should merge 1 branch into another branch, typically in this scenario the bugfix branch (eg bugfix-001) back into the main branch (either the release branch if you did releases, or trunk). Once that's done, you can merge the next bugfix. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:278146 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

You might as well apply the fix directly on the trunk... Unless the trunk has diverged from the release -- this is all very dependent on how releases work. Let's say you fix a stylesheet element directly in trunk. That's fine if trunk hasn't changes since the release you're fixing; it's NOT fine if you upgraded from Fusebox 4 to Fusebox 5 during the intervening time or any other major changes that separate the ongoing trunk work from a release. It all depends on the process -- Subversion doesn't care one way or another :) But seriously, I'd always recommend tagging releases -- otherwise you end up using revision numbers to proxy for releases and that inevitably seems to cause problems in the long term.

I will work on a bug and once I am happy with the fix, testing in my dev environment, I will put those changes onto the test server. We're missing some details here about the process around subversion so it's hard to directly answer the question, but one very common pattern is to create a bug-specific branch (usually off of the release branch) and fix the bug there. The full process would work something like this: * assume there's an existing branch for the release, /repo/branches/RB-1.0 * copy the release branch /repo/branches/RB-1.0 to a bugfix branch /repo/branches/BUG-3456 * tag the beginning of the bugfix branch /repo/tags/PRE-3456 * work on bug in the bugfix branch committing as necessary * tag as necessary on bugfix branch, eg /repo/tags/QA-3456, /repo/tags/QA-3456-RC2, etc * when the bug's signed off on, tag the end of the branch /repo/tags/POST-3456 * back in the release branch, /repo/branches/RB-1.0, you can merge /tags/PRE-3456 and /tags/POST-3456 to get the release updated * roll out a new release (tagged and/or branched of course) or generate a patchfile depending on your process * check and see if the merge needs to go back into trunk/etc as appropriate Obviously this isn't strictly necessary for a typo or a very small change, though at a minimum using the tags for PRE and POST will make your life easier. As an aside, Subversion revision numbers are not in short supply -- there's no need to conserve them, and since copies in SVN are efficient, there's no worry about increasing the size of the repo every time you branch (like in BitKeeper and some other source control systems). We'll cover this stuff in my CFUnited 2007 pre conference class. At worst, if you're reading this and figuring you need to know more about Subversion, you should check out the Pragmatic Version Control using Subversion book from the Pragmatic Programmers and save yourself a lot of effort in learning SVN. After user testing, it may come back for further work, or be signed off. If signed off, it is put onto the production server. As you can imaging, there can be any number of bugs been fixed at any point in time by multiple developers. The testing can get signed off in any order and may be there for a couple of weeks.

Now we're into build management :) Which is mostly outside subversion, but the basic way subversion can support you process is by tagging revisions -- the basic pattern is to create a directory parallel to /trunk called /tags and then copy whatever is being release (eg /trunk) to a tag. Then you can always use the tag to checkout code that represents a particular release. Even when you're at REL-5.0, your tag for REL-2.1 points to the proper revisions of the codebase and you can checkout from the tag (or from a branch if you choose to use release branches in addition to tags) If I have 5 bug fixes on the go bug001 - bug005, and bug004 is signed off how would I use subversion to know which files need to be updated on production (without any of the work on bugs 1,2,3,5 going over)? Merge bug004 into whatever the main branch is, which is probably either trunk or a release branch, tag the resulting version as a release, and export the release. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

On 5/15/07, Andrew Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Deploy? If you mean deploy to production, thats always trunk. That's actually a really bad process in general -- b/c then you have to keep track of revision numbers to be able to revert to a previous release. The standard advice is to tag the trunk (eg REL-20070515 or REL-1.2.3) and then deploy the tagged release, which means exporting from the tag instead of trunk. That gives you a MUCH better history over time. Deploying from /trunk directly is generally a good way to handle continuous integration, but I recommend not doing that for production. Tagging gives the added benefit of repeatability without needing to track revision numbers, though clearly nothing stops you from doing it this way :) Or do you mean deploy from your code to the repository, that's commit.

I will work on a bug and once I am happy with the fix, testing in my dev environment, I will put those changes onto the test server. We're missing some details here about the process around subversion so it's hard to directly answer the question, but one very common pattern is to create a bug-specific branch (usually off of the release branch) and fix the bug there. The full process would work something like this: * assume there's an existing branch for the release, /repo/branches/RB- 1.0 * copy the release branch /repo/branches/RB-1.0 to a bugfix branch /repo/branches/BUG-3456 * tag the beginning of the bugfix branch /repo/tags/PRE-3456 * work on bug in the bugfix branch committing as necessary * tag as necessary on bugfix branch, eg /repo/tags/QA-3456, /repo/tags/QA-3456-RC2, etc * when the bug's signed off on, tag the end of the branch /repo/tags/POST-3456 * back in the release branch, /repo/branches/RB-1.0, you can merge /tags/PRE-3456 and /tags/POST-3456 to get the release updated * roll out a new release (tagged and/or branched of course) or generate a patchfile depending on your process * check and see if the merge needs to go back into trunk/etc as appropriate Obviously this isn't strictly necessary for a typo or a very small change, though at a minimum using the tags for PRE and POST will make your life easier. As an aside, Subversion revision numbers are not in short supply -- there's no need to conserve them, and since copies in SVN are efficient, there's no worry about increasing

Re: deploying changes from subversion
Here's our basic process, just for the sake of discussion. We have a core product which is extremely large (several thousand source code files), and our development cycle for features tends to be on the long side - weeks to months. We do also have to deal with small bug fixes and enhancement requests as well. Our basic repository layout is: Trunk - day to day development Development branches - development of features that are especially large, and/or might disrupt other work in the trunk Tags - Release versions of the app. QA branch. This is sort of a transition branch for large feature releases. For day to day bug fixes and enhancement requests, we work against the current tag release, and merge them back to the trunk. This is largely due to the length of our usual development cycle, where the trunk and release can get so far out of sync that it gets hairy to do small incremental changes in the trunk and push them out with confidence. For releasing larger features, we use the QA branch. We don't worry about any historical state on the QA branch. We simply blow it away each time with a fresh copy from the current release, and then merge the new features in from the trunk. Once we've done testing and QA on it, we tag it and move on. It's not the right way for everyone, but works well for our development cycle. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

setting var inside cffunction
I posted a question yesterday about using cfset inside cffunction and received help, thanks! I've moved my cfsets above my cfldap query (which corrected my initial issue) but problem is the returned values from the cfldap query don't appear to be being set. Perhaps because the cfsets occur in the lines above the cfldap query? I've tested this by doing a cfdump just under invoking the component on another page. The variables returned are the ldap names not the new vars I was attempting to rename them to. I've pasted a portion of yesterdays thread below to make so you have an idea what's happening in my function. Thanks! John --- you have to place your var scoped variables at the top of the function. in this case, you'd do something like: cfset var givenname = / cfset var sn = / cfset var mail = / (etc) above your cfldap call.

Re: Word Merge with CF
Yes, I've done com automation on the server, specifically for mail merge. However, you need to be aware of the detractors of doing such things. I don't have a link to it handy, but Microsoft has a whitepaper on issues concerning server-side automation of office applications. You should probably do a search there as well. Back when I did this, I got a ton of info from cfcomet, which unfortunately appears to be absent for the time being. Oh, Dain Anderson, where are you?

RE: REFind
What I want to happen is this:
From the list of UID's passed into the loop; If the UID matches the pattern
Add 1 to psyEx, because the UID will be ignored
Otherwise add 1 to psy, because the UID will be handed off and processed.
What's happening is that either, the RegEx is wrong and the pattern's not
matching or.. I should be doing this some other way than REFind, which I
can't figure out.

Re: CF adding additional pages in pdfs
I have a page that generates a pdf on the fly. Every now and then, it will add additional pages to the pdf. This happens at random times and when it does happen, it will add anywhere from 2 pages to 200+ pages. Chris, not totally sure, but I think this happens when your last loop iteration has cfdocumentitem type=pagebreak /. This results in a blank page. Getting around it is a two stage procedure: 1) use css to generate the page break rather than cfdocumentitem. This is because you cannot wrap cfdocumentitem in any conditional code. I believe it looks like span style=page-break-before:always, but take a look at the css specs for more details 2) wrap that span in conditional code a la if not last loop iterationcss page break/if -- Josh ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:278182 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Fusebox Help
Hello Qasim, Thank you for this. I'm learning a lot about Fusebox as I work on this project. =) The fusebox.xml.cfm has the mode set to Development. I will try to do my research on what effect this has on the application as a while, but any additional pointers you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for this!

I'm not trying to imply anything about the stability of fusebox, but since neither I, or anyone in my shop has spent any large amounts of time working with Fusebox. I guess I was just wondering if anyone had seen this kind of behavior before. My (limited?) understanding of fusebox suggests that there are some pages which are interpreted, then written to the file system. I'm wondering if these seemingly random errors have anything to do with that process. Like perhaps wherever the problem lies is in the process that creates these files? Perhaps this process is not able to finish, or is finishing incorrectly each time the page is hit... and that results in the random code errors? That is where my thoughts are taking me at the moment anyway... Any insights anyone has would be immensely appreciated. ;) Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ BlueDragon Alliance Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] Josh Nathanson wrote: Has anyone seen this kind of behavior in a Fusebox site before?

Since the errors appear to be random (go to page, click a link, get random error - go to page, click same link, get different random error) I'm not sure where to even begin. Jordan - the best way to at least figure out the version is to look for index.cfm in the root, open that file and see which core file it's calling (assuming they're using index.cfm as the main template).

Simple FORM post?
I'm developing a script that will allow remote servers to use a script include on their pages to include a relatively simple search form and then post back to my site to perform the search. Seems straightforward enough, but the remote form post isn't populating the local CF FORM struct - it remains empty. Here's a quick step-by-step: 1) Remote site includes script type=text/javascript src=http://myhost.com/search.cfm;/script 2) Search.cfm generates all the HTML necessary for the form, it's escaped and returned as a single document.write() to the remote host. The form is presented on the remote site without trouble. 3) The search term is entered and the form submitted to my server as a POST 4) When testing on localhost, all is well. The FORM vars are available and the search is performed flawlessly. When testing on the prod server, CF's FORM struct is empty. I'm using CF's built-in web server locally and IIS on prod. I feel like I'm missing something stupid. Any help is appreciated.

OT: is this wrong on my client's part?
I have a client who is REALLY paranoid about access control and who wants me to develop a complex shopping cart for him, but never have access to his system. I have to submit my finished project on CD, then he'll load it up and test it and let me konw if it works. The site is a cluster of two servers, probably on windows, not sure at this state, and the CF will be probably CF7 Enterprise.The database will be definitely SQLServer2005. I'm not allowed to use cookies of any kind, not allowed to use client variables, not allowed to use sticky sessions, so that means i have to write my own version of client variables, using UUID as url variables. Oh and new UUID has to be issued on every single page view.The shopping cart is multiple currency, has to be custom written, as does everything else. Because he wants to own outright all the IP in the project, no pre-written modules can be used. Everything must be custom written for him, so he can own all the IP. I built the prototype on my shared server, and it was a very interesting exercise for me, writing my own version of client variables, but it wasnt without anguish. There were quite a few minutes spent scratching my head figuring out how to do some of the parts of the site. I am reluctant to deliver the site for acceptance testing without ever having had the chance run the code myself on its finished environment, or even having the chance to see what the environment is.

If his needs are that strict, make him provide an exact duplicate system for development and testing, so you can test in an exact replica of his environment, without being on his servers. This will save money in the long run, by cutting down on testing rounds, and providing a good platform for future changes as well. (BTW, this is how I got the xServe sitting under my couch.)

Re: OT: is this wrong on my client's part?
Good Lord Mike, why on earth did you agree to this kind of arrangement in the first place!? :o) I think I'd tell the client to get stuffed, but if you've already put in a bunch of time on it then I think I'd triple my normal rate, and do like you said and charge for each and every bug you fix. On another front, I've got pretty strict guidelines about who I'll do work for (meaning what sort of business). For instance, I'd never do any developing that contributed in any way to the sale of pornography. My company has turned down jobs for liqueur stores, and once for a movie theater that wanted us to install what amounted to a beer button on each of the seats in their theater. What I'm saying is that I'd be *extremely* uncomfortable working for a man who wouldn't let me know anything about his product or who couldn't trust me to come to his location and code on his equipment. In short, I think it's your client who's being unreasonable, and you just seem to be doing your best to deal with it.

RE: is this wrong on my client's part?
Tell your client that you won't work under such conditions without 100% payment up-front. If he says 'no', then walk away and consider yourself to have been spared many late nights and migraines. I would bet that such a project has 0% chance of running when the client 'loads it up'. There are just too many miscellaneous things that could be configured wrong or miscommunicated for something to work with no on-site testing/debugging. -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 3:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: is this wrong on my client's part?

RE: is this wrong on my client's part?
Aside from the fact that the requirements sound like a total pain (but hey, if it pays), couldn't acceptance testing happen on a server that you both mutually have access to (so, not the final, live server)? That would give the client (and you) good reason to expect that it will work when installed on their real system. Given what they want, your position doesn't seem unreasonable to us, but only because we trust you. Given that the client doesn't want to trust you (and that you can't be sure that you can trust them), I don't see how negotiations will be anything but a nightmare. They want too much and won't give you the things you'll need to deliver on time (and to get paid when appropriate milestones are hit). One person's (with nothing to lose) opinion ...

RE: Simple FORM post?
Once the form/html content is written to the remote page, there's no more JS involved in coming back to my server - just a simple form submittal. I figure that if POST wouldn't work for me, I'll just use GET instead and then deal with URL variables rather than FORM. I've implemented this and everything is working. At this point, my conclusion is that the POST method has limitations when used from a remote server/page, although I can't find anything on the web that speaks to this. I feel stupid because this seems like a simple rule that I should have picked up in all of my web development experience... oh well.

Re: is this wrong on my client's part?
Thanks for your opinions.I think i'm on safe ground then. I've already got 75% of the money (half up front, and another 25% at a milestone along the way) so if worst comes to worst, I can walk away without losing too much. At the moment I hold the upper hand, because I have the code and he doesnt have anything. But as soon as i give him the CD, he holds the upper hand, so I need to ensure i have covered my bases while i can. Oh and I'm not concerned about whether the product is pornography or anything like that. It's a software product of some kind aimed at very large organisations. Individual product line items have prices in excess of $10,000. But it's making me mad with curiosity not knowing what it is i'm building a site for!! I think i'm going to hold my ground and demand he pays me before he gets the CD. He can see a test version on my shared server, so he can be confident that i have actually done the work, and see the functionality. So in theory that only things that ought to need changing are issues that relate to the clustering or his environment details.

Re: is this wrong on my client's part?
Me too Brad. But he was not going to be budged. He used to code ColdFusion back in hte pre-MX days, and he is of the opinion that client variable are unreliable. My recollection of the one experience i had of client vars in CF4.2 was pretty bad then too, so I think he has some justification for that view. But client vars are a whole new thing nowdays. sessions cant be relied on because of the clustering. But i'm with you. I wonder what are the odds that i'm going to write client vars myself, without being able to test them in the live environment, and they're going to be better/faster/more reliable than the out of the box client vars?Ha!

RE: is this wrong on my client's part?
Nice... I would second that. I do something similar but also include an IP restriction in it that can either go to a BETA screen, sets a session variable and than continues... or simply throws a fatal error. The worst part is that there's no chance you could even try to replicate the exact same environment.

Re: cfexecute, addHost.sh and deleteHost.sh perhaps?
I was requested by the client to design something like
www.clubexpress.com. When you register with Club Express you are given
an URL after your Club's short name. So for instance if you Club name is
Jochem then you would be given an URL like
http://jochem.clubexpress.com/ with your default Club's page and login
screen. This is exactly what I need to do with ColdFusion. When an user
register its club an url for that newly created club is created. That's
the functionality I need and nothing else.
