Does that sounds like a fair concept? How are you going to guarantee the person that changes the file doesn't change the registered hash too?

AES decryption problem
Hi all, I have a token that is being passed in via the URL, that is generated in a .NET program. I am having trouble decoding it in CF 8 so I was hoping that someone could give me a hand. I am very frustrated with this as this is my first dive into AES. The .NET developer gave me the following instructions: These are the steps needed to return the key in the email back to it's original state 1. URLDecode the key 2. Convert result to decoded base64 binary 3. Remove chr(0) from end of string 4. Decrypt from AES192 (requires a 24 character Key). Hence make sure you pad the hash key with spaces at the end up to 24 characters And here is what I have code wise now (I changed the key to keep it private): cfoutput !--- comes in via URL --- cfset forDec=OTg4MTc6NjcmOEpoXmRXRWY0JSVHWUcqb2xpa3VqZGxveHRvbkByZWQ1LmNvbS5hdQ%3D%3D !--- padded with spaces to make 24 chars --- cfset key=7KSK^8SID br /#forDec# !--- 1. URLDecode the key --- cfset forDec = URLDecode(forDec) br /#forDec# !--- 2. Convert result to decoded base64 binary --- cfset forDec = BinaryDecode(forDec,base64) !--- we now have binary object --- cfdump var=#forDec# !---3. Remove chr(0) from end of string --- !--- I cant put a trim on to a binary object, nor can I do a ReplacenoCase() --- !---4. Decrypt from AES192 (requires a 24 character Key). Hence make sure you pad the hash key with spaces at the end up to 24 characters--- cfset key = Decrypt(forDec,key,AES,base64) /cfoutput This results in a bytearray cannot be converted to strings error. So I tried forDec.toString(), but every request this generates a different value - how can this be? cfset key = Decrypt(BinaryEncode(forDec,base64),BinaryDecode(key,base64),AES,base64) Results in getting an error that The input and output encodings are not same.

Re: Frameworks: Post vs. Get
How is the value being used in the said object? To remain OO, the value should be supplied through a method, if it is to be set when the object is initiated, then the value should be supplied as an argument to the constructor. To make sure the argument is a post variable, you simply call the appropriate object method and pass 'form.myVar' to it. Referencing the post scope inside an object is, as you pointed out, opposed to OO priniciples, so do it outside the object and then behave accordingly.

Whilst I agree and that guides whether I use GET or POST within my UI (and it's OK to use method=get on forms if they are query-only forms such as searches), I would question whether it's really important *inside* your application code to distinguish between GET and POST. Question to Dave: do your applications actually verify that any data changing requests really use POST? Suggestion to Matt et al: since all you really need to ensure is that certain requests came from a POST, you can write a filter (or whatever equivalent your framework de jour supports) that checks the request was a POST and encapsulate the logic in that one place (testing CGI.HTTP_METHOD). Then for a data changing request, just add that filter and you're done. Fusebox example: in prefuseaction on your controller circuit, check the fuseaction against a list of must use POST fuseactions and check the CGI variable: set name=dataChangingActions value=doupdate,dosomething / if condition=listFindNoCase(dataChangingActions,myFusebox.originalFuseaction) true if condition=CGI.HTTP_METHOD is 'POST' false !-- illegal GET -- /false /if /true /if -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive. -- Margaret Atwood ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Why would this query not return the correct data?
That's the actual sql... a simple statement. Now this is strange... I ran a little test. I changed the event_day data directly in the database from 1,1,1,3,4,6 or whatever it was and added one to each digit and made the event_day data 2,2,2,4,5,7. This data is in a MySQL db with a field type of tiny integer. (I then convert this into a day_of_week using MySQL) Anyway, when I run the same query in the MySQL editor, I get the expected results, 2,4,5,7. However, when I run the query via a cf page using... cfquery name=get_days datasource=his_anointing select distinct event_day from weekly_schedule order by event_day /cfquery cfloop query=get_days cfoutput#get_days.event_day#/cfoutputbr / /cfloop cfdump var=#get_days# I still get 1,1,1,1 from both the looped output and the cfdump.

I changed the database table data and changed one of the 2's to a 3 to see if the output and cfdump changed to make sure I'm running the query on the same database in both places... yep, now the output from the editor reads 2,3,4,5,7, but the query output and cfdump reads 1,1,1,1,1.

RE: Frameworks: Post vs. Get
I'm with Brian here - I don't see why this is critical. The only known cause of a problem in this area (that I know of) is when the Google Accelrator came out and it began auto firing Delete links in web admins. Any program that automatically follows links can cause this problem, as long as it has credentials to access the URLs in question. Google Web Accelerator was simply one example. Google Search Appliances are another. Rather than worrying about these programs, you can simply avoid the problem altogether by conforming to the appropriate RFC recommendation: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.

Re: Is This Possible??
Hi Kris, First I would like to thank you for responding to my post, it is greatly appreciated. I will try to answer your questions in the order you presented them. Q1 - The ultimate goal of this project is to display a listing of the annual training calendar and show what training a given employee has and has not completed from that list. Q2 - Whether this can be accomplished with a single query or multiple queries, makes no difference to me. Q3 - Expected output would be something along the lines of this row 1: trng_code --- trng_title --- completed row 2: trng_code --- trng_title --- not completed row 3: trng_code --- trng_title --- completed and so forth running the through the table containing the annual training event information. Q4 - Not sure what you are looking for with this question. Q5 - Table structure tbl_personnel --- record_id = key --- first_name (varchar) --- last_name (varchar) --- emp_id varchar tbl_training_calendar --- record_id = key --- trng_code (varchar) --- trng_title (varchar) tbl_training_completed --- record_id = key --- trng_code (varchar) --- emp_id (varchar) --- trng_status (varchar) With my current thinking process, the only time there would information entered into the tbl_training_completed table, would be when the individual actually completed said training. This I am having no problems with query and displaying. However, the issue I am having problems with is, determining what training of the scheduled training the individual has not done so I can include it in the same display / output in the layout described in Q3. The more I ponder on the scenario, the more I am becoming convinced it cannot be accomplished without pre-loading the trng_status field of the tbl_training_completed table with 'not completed' or NULL and query/evaluate against that. With there being 63 individuals and about 75 different training elements, pre-loading does not look pleasant. I am certainly open to suggestions on easier / more effective ways to accomplish this. I can do messengers as well as offer a virtual meeting session, if this would make reaching a solution easier. Thanks in advance, I hope I answered your questions.

What you are looking for here is an outer join. An outer join says select all the records from one table and any records from a second table, if they match. If there is no match the column from the second table it will contain a NULL value. Thus your employees who have not completed a specific training will have a null value for that training record. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Frameworks: Post vs. Get
That's fine, but it doesn't change anything in my mind. Just because a crawler won't submit a form doesn't mean that a user (or a non-compliant crawler) won't. It's also not complicated for a user to modify the headers to issue a post instead of a get or vice versa. The point being, if you have something that can trigger a data change, you have to assume someone can execute it regardless of whether it is a POST or a GET and regardless of whether it was initiated by a crawler or something else. It's far more critical in my mind to make sure that only people or agents that you want to be changing data can actually change the data. The triviality of whether the request was a POST or a GET seems to mean nothing. I think that forcing data change requests to be POSTS is just forcing an extra limitation on the usefulness of the application (I personally think being able to do something via a form post as well as a simple URL GET request is a very handy thing), when you're still going to have to have the proper logic in place to make sure the data change is valid in the first place. I suppose the summary here is that I know this rule exists, and I know why it exists. It just doesn't seem to have any real bearing on anything other than to add complexity while at the same time reducing flexibility. To me, it smacks of a carryover from the early days of the web that doesn't mean much in the current environment.

Re: Frameworks: Post vs. Get
You're proving my point. Going through your app and changing any A HREF tag that targets a link that changes data on the server to use POST instead of GET *is* an increase in complexity. And, if I understand you correctly, you're doing it just to get a pop-up window from your browser? A pop up that anyone can ignore, or that a spider can just bypass anyway? When under the hood you're still going to have to have logic to make sure the user is logged in, and editing data that they are allowed to edit, etc.? Is this really the best reason someone can offer to justify making all data-editing URLs use the POST method? I know it isn't anyone's job here to convince me, and that I'm the one ignoring this rule, but so far I'm still not seeing any particularly compelling reason to be concerned.

RE: Why would this query not return the correct data?
@ Azadi: The cfdump reports no query caching. Even after I manually changed the data in the database to exclude the integer 1, I still get all 1's ! What datatype did you assign to event_day? If it was tinyint, did you give it a length of 1? @ Matthew: I changed two things to make sure I wasn't accessing the wrong database or cfm page. I change the text to red and that worked. I also changed the integers for event_day I the database and they editor query returns the new and correct information. CFDump reports no query caching. @ Aaron: I haven't checked the rest of the site for errors explicitly, but I haven't noticed any problems yet. I'll expand the error search soon if this isn't resolved. @ Aaron: Yes, the cfdump shows consistent data. I get same wrong result whether I cfoutput the query or loop the query. @ Andrew: Your theory could be correct about the bit/Boolean datatype. I had assigned a tinyint datatype with a length of 1. Which would fit the definition for a Boolean and also my single digit day of the week number requirements. However, when I changed the datatype to integer and allowed it to have its full length of 11, I got back the correct results from my query, the cfdump, and sql editor's query. So the issue seems to be solved... but the question remains: Why did my datatype and length no work? Just wanted to say THANKS! to everyone who has helped solve this. Now I really want to understand this behavior so I don't run into unexpected problems in the future. Ideas?

Re: Is This Possible??
Hi Leonard, Something along the lines of this may work. I'm sure you'll need to tweak it a bit depending on your RDBMS and other requirements. SELECT t.trng_code, t.trng_title, c.trng_status FROM tbl_training_calendar t LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_training_completed c ON c.trng_code=t.trng_code INNER JOIN tbl_personnel p ON p.emp_id=c.emp_id ORDER BY t.trng_code Pretty sure that will work, but I know that when I use short-hand join notation it will fail because of the inner reference to an outer joined element. Formal join notation usually works. However, that query gives you ALL employees, and I don't think you can reliably limit the query to the currently logged-in employee when using an element in an OUTER reference. You could use a subquery instead, which would allow you to specify a unique employee: SELECT t.trng_code, t.trng_title, (SELECT c.trng_status FROM tbl_training_completed WHERE c.trng_code=t.trng_code AND c.emp_id=[currently_logged_in_employee_id]) as training_status FROM FROM tbl_training_calendar t ORDER BY t.trng_code But here's a question: if they are only holding training that have been completed in the tbl_training_completed table, why the trng_status column? Maybe the assumption that the table only holds completed trainings is not correct? That would certainly simplify things a bit.

Re: Frameworks: Post vs. Get

Jochem I don't allow data altering in my apps via a 'get', especially not deletes. Whether or not the user is authorized to alter said data, while obviously crucial, is not the only important thing; they must alter that data by following the correct protocols that the app has set in place, as Zaphod (and others) pointed out. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, it is extremely critical to know that these sort of variables came from a post. So, back to the root question at hand: Is it okay to directly reference the form scope in my OO-like controllers? I'm leaning toward the belief that it's okay to reference the form/post scope from within the controller, to verify that the data is from a post. (Sean's code example seems to bolster that belief.) At that point, the var(s) is/are passed off to the model where it does the heavy lifting.

If you follow this convention, you don't have to worry about other programs that conform to those conventions. That's the whole point of having conventions. And, I can guarantee from my personal experience as a Google Search Appliance consultant, this is a regular and ongoing problem. Typically, when implementing enterprise search, you configure your GSA to crawl content that requires credentials; users can then, when searching, enter their own credentials to view private search results if those credentials allow. The GSA may be configured to crawl millions of documents across many servers, public and private, which may correspond to hundreds of separate applications. If one developer of one application doesn't understand this basic web development 101 concept, hilarity often ensues.

Creating replicated sites with coldfusion
Hi, I am working on a site for a MLM company that wants each person who signs up with the company to have their own replicated website. The replicated site is really no more than each person having a separate URL that is defined by the username they put in when they sign up- everyone's site is exactly the same otherwise. For example, if I signed up for the program with a username of jessica my replicated website's address would be http://www.sample.com/jessica;. I do not want to have to create a separate folder index page for each every person who signs up, because that seems like it would be kind of ridiculous waste a lot of space, so how can I (firstly) trick the server into believing there is a separate page for each person even without a folder with their username existing in my directory? Second, and I guess this question could be answered by the first, how can I get that username to be pulled from the URL for use in dynamic queries and the like. -More or less, I am just wanting to somehow convert a query string such as http://www.sample.com?username=jessica; into the more user-friendly http://www.sample.com/jessica;. I think i am making this harder than it really is.. hopefully I have made this clear enough to understand, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Creating replicated sites with coldfusion
Well, I can think of a number of ways. All of the ones I'm thinking of offhand require that you have access to your webserver.

Re: CF 8 - cfquery is returning a struct
I've only just started playing with CF8, and yeah, it looks like you're correct. the data that (as of CFMX7) was available in the 'result' struct (if you used that attribute) is now available when you dump the query itself. i don't know that i'd call it a 'drastic change'. cfdump is pretty much just for debugging. what kind of potential code issues would you be running into? you're not using cfdump in your programming logic, are you?

Well...with CF8 also supports C++ CFX tagsso shouldn't be a problem. I believe, as far as, C++ datatypes are properly typecastd by CF, there shouldn't be any problem using them. I would suggest you to refer the documentation for CF8, as it will have History of changes done and may explain you how it should be used.

IIS 7.0 for CFML Developers
I've prepared a talk entitled, IIS 7.0 for CFML Developers that I'll be presenting at various CF user groups and conferences over the next several months. While I do discuss BlueDragon, this is not a BD-specific presentation, but is intended to be of general interest to all developers who deploy CFML applications on IIS using either ColdFusion or BlueDragon (either the Java/J2EE edtions or BlueDragon.NET). Here's the synopsis: Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0 is the newest release of Microsoftâs web server for Windows. Currently shipping with Windows Vista, IIS 7.0 is also part of Windows Server 2008, scheduled for release in February 2008. This talk will present an overview of the major new features of IIS 7.0, including: customizable installation, simplified configuration and administration, security enhancements, integrated request pipeline, extensibility enhancements, and much more. The impact and benefits of the new IIS 7.0 features for developers using Adobe ColdFusion or New Atlanta BlueDragon will be explored. Here's my current schedule: - Maryland CFUG, November 13, 2007 - Capitol Hill User Group, November 15, 2007 - Atlanta CFUG, January 2008 - CFUNITED Europe 2008, March 12-13 2008 Let me know if you're interested in having me give this presentation to your local CFUG.

RE: Rollback db changes in CFCUnit/CFUnit tests
Here is the ant script that I was referring to the properties file that
powers it. Also included are the caveats that I gave Janet:
A few caveats:
1. It is targeted specifically to MSSQL.
2. I am using the open source JTDS drivers (
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/) to access our databases.
One problem I ran into when resetting our database was when constraints
existed on existing tables so I use some MSSQL specific SQL to temporarily
detach the constraints during the reset process. If you are not using
MSSQL, you will need to change the insert operation to CLEAN_INSERT (if i
remember correctly) as it is currently using MSSQL_CLEAN_INSERT in addition
to updating the constraint code. I hope this helps you with what you are
working on.
Good luck!

RE: DataGrid with Dynamic Link
I don't see the link here.
You are probably doing something with that href and hrefkey but i have no
idea what, setup a proxy listener or just bind the summary to this grid. I
think you are making it harder than it needs to be. But I would need to see
the summary or how that works to be sure, is the summary another grid, or a
pod or a window etc.

Re: AES decryption problem
So far in my investigation and trial and error, I have discovered that the AES key you use cannot have ^ or in it. The key we were provided by the .NET side did have these in. Another thing is that padding to 24 characters renders the error The key specified is not a valid key for this encryption: Invalid AES key length: 7 bytes - 7 bytes? Its like CF doesnt even see the extra spaces. So I replaced the spaces with 3's and I get an 18 byte string? What in the wierd? Replace the last 2 characters with == and it works fine, my manually generated key is 7+8sh+dWEf== I am putting this out there because its causing me no end of problems, and I cant find anything out in google land or on blogs about this.

If so, I would write Select p.first_name, p.last_name, p.emp_id, cal.trng_title, com.trng_status From tbl_personnel p, tbl_training_calendar cal LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_training_completed com ON com.emp_id = p.emp_id And com.trng_code = cal.trng_code Order by p.emp_id asc This is, of course, untested. -- William E.

Hi Kris, First I would like to thank you for responding to my post, it is greatly appreciated. I will try to answer your questions in the order you presented them. Q1 - The ultimate goal of this project is to display a listing of the annual training calendar and show what training a given employee has and has not completed from that list. Q2 - Whether this can be accomplished with a single query or multiple queries, makes no difference to me. Q3 - Expected output would be something along the lines of this row 1: trng_code --- trng_title --- completed row 2: trng_code --- trng_title --- not completed row 3: trng_code --- trng_title --- completed and so forth running the through the table containing the annual training event information. Q4 - Not sure what you are looking for with this question. Q5 - Table structure tbl_personnel --- record_id = key --- first_name (varchar) --- last_name (varchar) --- emp_id varchar tbl_training_calendar --- record_id = key --- trng_code (varchar) --- trng_title (varchar) tbl_training_completed --- record_id = key --- trng_code (varchar) --- emp_id (varchar) --- trng_status (varchar) With my current thinking process, the only time there would information entered into the tbl_training_completed table, would be when the individual actually completed said training. This I am having no problems with query and displaying. However, the issue I am having problems with is, determining what training of the scheduled training the individual has not done so I can include it in the same display / output in the layout described in Q3. The more I ponder on the scenario, the more I am becoming convinced it cannot be accomplished without pre-loading the trng_status field of the tbl_training_completed table with 'not completed' or NULL and query/evaluate against that. With there being 63 individuals and about 75 different training elements, pre-loading does not look pleasant. I am certainly open to suggestions on easier / more effective ways to accomplish this. I can do messengers as well as offer a virtual meeting session, if this would make reaching a solution easier. Thanks in advance, I hope I answered your questions.

RE: Creating replicated sites with coldfusion
Use a custom 404 page. You will need to update the 404 error handling in your server (Apache, IIS, etc) to point to this new page on all 404 errors. This page will parse the cgi.request_uri string into an array based on the / character. Do a check in the database for the user which matches the value in the last position in the array. (or you can do an 'or' check for each of the positions after the host_name) If the result is eq 1, then display the agent's website. If the result is gt 1, then display a 'choice' of which one the user had intended to type in. If the result is eq 0, then show your 404 error page. William -- William E.

Re: Frameworks: Post vs. Get
It seems that if the framework doesn't let you know which request method the variables came from, the controller code will have to be modified to check the FORM scope with StructKeyExists() or, perhaps more appropriately, CGI.REQUEST_METHOD (if that is populated by your webserver).

If you want to guarantee that the request was a POST, I'd do it in the controller before anything even gets to the model. Which is precisely what I was asking about. As I said above, I wholeheartedly agree with you that your model should not care where it came from. My question was specific to the controller.

Re: Creating replicated sites with coldfusion
I have actually done just this with a website of mine...
Best way I found was to use mod_rewrite which will require you to have
apache. If you are are able to do that then just add a file called
..htaccess to your root and in that do:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.cfm?username=$1 [L]
