CF8 and CFmail, sending duplicate emails
Hi, We recently upgraded our server to CF8. We have a number of clients who use emailing tools to send out emails to opt in lists. One of these clients did a mailout last week to a couple of lists, and it would appear that the emails all went at least twice to every member of the list. The code has run perfectly on CF7 for a couple of years, so I'm pretty sure it's not a code issue. I've tried replicating this issue, and I haven't been able to. Does anyone know of anything that might cause this to happen. The lists are not that large - the largest has about 3,500 email addresses, the smallest about 300. Did CF8 change the way it handles CFMAIL?

The code has run perfectly on CF7 for a couple of years, so I'm pretty sure it's not a code issue. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a code problem. I've seen a lot of code in my time that once worked that stopped working on an upgrade. It could be the use of a depreciated function or tag, or simply code that worked due to issues in the CF engine at the time--but which shouldn't have run. Also, I believe I remember reading CF8 changed some behavior of nested cfoutput/cfloop tags in CF8, but I can't recall exactly what I read. Finally, I will say don't overlook the obvious. If a user clicks on a link/button multiple times, unless your script explicitly prevents the behavior, the server will process the request multiple times.

RE: Updating to Eclipse 3.3...
from 3.2 to 3.3; I think you have to simpy install 3.3. Unfortunately, I don't know how to preserve or import settings. File, Export, General, Settings. My personal experience is it's just easier to rebuild. I've tried the export settings, but it's caused me problems in the past. I think the problem stems from the fact that so many plug-ins are completely re-written for different versions of Eclipse. The good news is you should be able to go to File Import Existing Projects into Workspace and it should import your project into your new build (although things like the local history won't be imported.) From there it's just a matter of installing the plug-ins you want. Maybe it's because I only use a handful of plug-ins (CFEclipse, Aptana, FileSync, Flex and the various Adobe Eclipse plug-ins,) but it usually only takes me 30 minutes or so to get all my plug-ins restored. Also, I definitely think v3.3 is worth upgrading to.

Yea, Dan beat me to it, but that is what I meant in my post. I've never had luck, like others who have responded, with exporting settings or plugins. easier to just install a clean new install in another folder. Just to further elaborate. The last time I tried to migrate my installation to a new build of Eclipse (I think it was from 3.1 (or maybe 3.0) to 3.2) I spent over 2 hours trying to get things working without errors. I finally gave up and just did a fresh install. It only took me about 40 minutes to get a fresh new install with all new plug-ins configured. Maybe a fresh install isn't going to be required, but you do get the benefit of purging all the old obsolete plug-ins and old versions from Eclipse. You'll probably notice that Eclipse boots a lot faster too. -Dan ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:293879 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: How good is cfreport?
I've been using Crystal Reports viewed via the web for sometime. As I am using an IIS server I've been using asp pages and it works great. I am using a program called recrystallize (www.recrystallize.com) which is a wizard that processes your rpt file and you need to provide the database connection information, parameters and how you want the report to be displayed. Once the process is completed it generates the ASP pages which you place on your web server. I've been using it for years and it's a great tool.

Re: Coldfusion Consuming a .Net Control
Yes, this is possible with BlueDragon.NET (I can send you an example if you need it). No, I don't think this is possible with CF8, because CF8 does not provide any integration with ASP.NET, and .NET controls require the ASP.NET runtime context. CF8 integration with .NET is done via a separate Windows process--you can see this in the Services control panel or task manager--and this process does not provide any integration with ASP.NET. In contrast, BlueDragon.NET is implemented entirely on top of (within?) the ASP.NET runtime.

RE: CF8 and CFmail, sending duplicate emails
Thanks for the reply Tom, Are you talking about one thread for all the cfmails (outside the loop), or one for each mail? I'm assuming the latter wouldn't be a good plan where there might be thousands of emails, particularly on CF8 Standard. Also, with the former option, if the thread was named then I could presumably check that a thread of that name wasn't already running and not run the code if it was - my thinking was this could help deal with double clicks on the submit button. I'm looking at this at the moment. I'm still not convinced that the duplicated emails were caused by the user double clicking though.

Re: Coldfusion Consuming a .Net Control
Another way to look at it, kinda, is that CF8 integrates with server side .NET stuff, but not client side .NET stuff, like the ASP.NET UI controls. I see the point you're trying to make, but this isn't really accurate. An ASP.NET control is equivalent to a CFML tag, and is rendered completely on the server. Another analogy you can make is between ASP.NET controls and JSP taglibs, which are also rendered completely on the server. Your first statement was more accurate (the for CF8 in parentheses was added by me): Not really, ASP.NET is not part of the integration story (for CF8). I'm not sure what you mean by CF8 integrates with server side .NET stuff. To me, .NET integration in CF8 is very much like Java integration was in CF5. In CF5, you can create Java objects via CFOBJECT, but there's no integration with server-side Java (J2EE, or now, just JEE). Prior to CFMX, there was no integration with J2EE servers, such as the J2EE Sessions option, or the ability to use JSP taglibs within CFML pages. Similarly, CF8 lets you create .NET objects via CFOBJECT, but provides no integration with ASP.NET, which is the .NET server-side equivalent of JSP/J2EE. Contrast this to BlueDragon.NET, which provides full integration with ASP.NET in much the same way that CFMX (and the Java/J2EE editions of BD) provide full integration with J2EE. BD.NET has an ASP.NET Sessions option, which allows you to share session scope variables between CFML and ASP.NET pages, and allows you to include (via CFINCLUDE) ASP.NET pages within CFML pages (these included ASP.NET pages can contain ASP.NET controls, which was the original question here). More information can be found in the BD 7.0 Integrating CFML with ASP.NET document: http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/self_help/docs/7_0/BlueDragon_70_Integrating_CFML_with_ASPNET.pdf Vince Bonfanti New Atlanta Communications, LLC ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Updating to Eclipse 3.3...
To copy existing projects along with local history, copy the folder .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources from your workspace. You can also copy the snippets folder. The default location is .metadata\.plugins\org.cfeclipse.cfml\snippets, or you can check CFEclipse preferences if they're in another location. The good news is you should be able to go to File Import Existing Projects into Workspace and it should import your project into your new build (although things like the local history won't be imported.) ~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.

Re: Connecting to a mysql database

It is the mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.21-win32 available form the MySQL website.

RE: SQL Data Type
But when using CHAR within a SQL Statement don't you need to use a REPEATSTRING or a TRIM statement for proper validation so ensure that the value in the database matches the same length of the variable itself? I mainly use VARCHAR set to a size of the largest value expected. I only use CHAR when I know the length will always be the same such as: Where sex = 'M' or sex = 'F' This case sex would have a CHAR(1).
