Re: JavaCC/ANTLR grammar for ColdFusion?
Mark, I started a ANTLR one a while back for the CFEclipse project, but never really got around to finishing it. It's probably at ~ 85% done. Does a partial parser help you? ;) I've not used JavaCC, but ANTLR is a fantastic tool to use, and is * very * flexible. Parsing CF is a real pain, as it is one strnge language syntactically.

CFEclipse with Aptana
I've been using Aptana (http://www.aptana.org/) with my students in my web design class (I teach in a public school district and didn't inherit any budget for software, Aptana is both free and very very good).

The only thing that's keeping me from using it for all of my ColdFusion development is that for some reason, I can't get line numbers to show when editing CFM files, and the show line numbers setting in the settings applet won't save the setting.

Instead I get upload complete pretty much instantly followed by a javascript error. However. If you get really creative, I would think you might be able to fake something that's semi accurate some of the time (when the weather is just right). Avoid trying to use Ajax to send the file -- that's liable to just frustrate you even more. Submit the form via an iframe instead and on the request that receives the form submission, check initially for the length of the request data using getHTTPRequestData() It's a rarely used function that almost nobody knows about (of course because it's rarely used) - here's the livedocs article http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentationfile=0482.htm I *think* that you can fetch that prior to your cffile tag and use it to figure out how much data is coming up. Though you still would need to have a way of roughly figuring the user's connection speed, which with larger files will also fluctuate during an upload, and there won't be any way to really guage the fluctuation since you don't get any feedback from cf between the start and end of the cffile tag processing. So yeah, the short answer is still no. The long answer is basically not reliably the way you'd want it to work. This might not be a bad time to submit a feature request for CF9 to add an attribute or maybe a sub-tag to the cffile tag that would allow it to execute some kind of progress monitoring code at intervals. If for no other reason than that this question crops up pretty regularly on mailing lists. I would think something like: cffile action=upload filefield=yadda cffileprogress interval=1000 cfset session.fileprogress = cffile.percentcomplete / /cffileprogress /cffile That's a real crude, off the top of my head thought. Interval would be miliseconds, so it'd update the fileprogress once per second and then you'd use a series of ajax calls or the like at similar intervals to update the original page. All of which still hinges on my guess being correct that the page starts executing (or can) before all of the multi-part/formdata is finished transferring.

Re: CFEclipse with Aptana
Pete, I think for it to work correctly you need to enable line numbers in both places (General Editors Text Editors and within the CFEclipse Editor panels). I am using Eclipse with both Aptana and CFEclipse installed and was having a similar problem when one or the other was checked. I know that you are using the Aptana install with CFEclipse as a plugin but I don't think there is really a difference because the Aptana docs say that you have to enable line numbers by General Editors Text Editors (see http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Displaying_or_hiding_line_numbers). If all else fails, you could always try it on a clean install with the latest updates. BTW, are you on Windows or Mac? HTH.

Secure login system
I am building a secure login system and would like some opinions on what I have so far (please pick it apart): 1. Submitting login form over SSL, no brainer 2. Using cfqueryparam everywhere, another no brainer 3. Password field in the database is called something other than password, pw, etc 4. Password is one way encrypted using Hash(), encrypted version stored on db 5. In the ColdFusion code, the encrypted version of the pw is never selected from the db - I assume this is irrelevent, but better be on the safe side 6. Login form field names have session key appended to them to prevent the browser remembering login details for the user (no remember me tickbox) 7. Password can only be changed by the user entering current password and new password when logged in I think this is all sound so far but I am really unsure about the best way of resetting passwords when a user has forgotten their password. Currently, I have this: 1. User requests password change instructions to be sent to their registered email address by entering both their login name and email address: if the details match - the instructions are sent (if they don't remember those details they can ask the administrator, its a small office). 2. When the request is made, a 32 character 'temporaryLoginKey' is created and a hash of this is stored in the login table. The unhashed key is sent to the user's email as part of a web address (i.e. www.site.com/index.cfm?event=resetPasswordtempLoginKey=27JFl49580KFj45687KJGF459 ) 3. The user visits the url sent to them and is presented with a change password form in which they are required to enter their login name and new password 4. Once the user has changed their password, the tempKey is cleared and resulting calls to the temp address result in an access denied message or some such Am I missing anything obvious or is anything I am doing plain wrong?

Re: Upload progress bar
George, I agree with the idea of just displaying some sort of animation, if something is taking too long you can always say still working...hang on! but the entire idea is to give the user an indicator letting them know that something is happening and the upload hasn't died. You will need to include proper error handling and timeouts. It really isn't something you want to spend hours on because in the end it really isn't that important to show that 10 MBs out of 100MBs have been uploaded (and if you are uploading something that big via the browser I would discourage that! IMHO).

Better than the one I just reviewed a few weeks back. I checked out an app that simply had the user/pass stored in a variable on a page. If the person entered the right user/pass they were relocated to the secure pages. And no, the secure pages were not restricted in any way themselves. You could visit them directly. Total CRUD and all. Wowsers! I'll look up the salt phrase thing thank you s. Better to go slightly overboard ;) Glad to know I'm doing the right thing (by your eyes at least). I can sleep now.

The end client liked my work so much that they kept the contract with him as long as he kept me. This guy who claims to have been in business for 13 years or more and has $70,000 in his company bank account(I know people who work at Wachovia)and he still refuses to pay me. So Jefferey you are right usually a letter from your attorney requesting payment or file Lawsuit in Federal DISTRICT Court (yes Federal Court is the way to go for anything over $500, because of a little thing called Diversity of Citizenship(you live in a different state than the weasel who does not pay) will get you money. The problem is to retain an attorney usually costs you $2000 or more so that is how the weasel's get you.

Re: Consultant's Revenge
Interesting, $40/hr is really not a ton cheaper than what a lot of U.S. developers will work for. We have paid anywhere from $40-60/hr for CF developers. I personally have worked for anywhere from $30-80/hr, just depended on the job, my schedule, and many other factors. I have had trouble with big companies not paying on time and that can be a significant hit on the old wallet when waiting on a $10k or more check to come in and it is many months late coming. I am lucky that I stash a healthy chunk of change in the bank for such experiences although the last time it happened to be it pretty much depleted my stash and was not a fun experience thinking about the possible outcomes. I did wise up some last year and for some of my projects for the big companies instead of charging hourly I charged a flat rate which they had to pay upfront. Basically the invoice was put out at the beginning and they have NET 50 terms so in most cases the payment came in shortly after the project was done.

Re: Consultant's Revenge
Sir, One of specialities is working with the SE Asia Firms and from my converstions with them your rate seems to be an anomally since I have had to put out subcontracting bids for other developers to help when I am swamped,most of my replies have been in the $20-30 range. Also Sir you do not have to deal with the IRS and Social Security Administration, State, and Local Taxes so yes normally $40 is a good rate. I recently posted for $25 per hour and was overwhelmed with potential clients asking for my services , I was also talked about as if I was a fool by some of my fellow programmers here in the US. Regardless I was not meaning anything about race more so to the fact that because you do not have to deal with US taxes and the company has no Tax ID to report to the US Government, then they of course are willing to pay you and are happy to do it. I have often thought of opening an offshore company in maybe Costa Rica or Barbados in order to get those same benefits as you are proud of receiving. But in effect you are cheap for US companies because of the Tax Liability and Government Pension payments. Even as an offshore company you do not have a US Tax ID, I am sure the IRS could not take you to jail or haul you off to court another advantage you have. Again no pun on SE Asian my Step Mother was from Canton China before she came here to the US, and I love Taiwan and Hong Kong but guess what her brother who I learned some of my programming skills from also runs an offshore programming shop charging 35 per hour, and he is rich; living in Hong Kong. No way a US programmer could be considered Rich here for charging that rate. I wonder do you live in a Villa, how much money do you make out of the 40 per hour or does the whole company get paid that and then it is divided , you see here if a developer shared 40 per hour with his partners he would need 15 clients ,working for all of them to survive!

Re: Dead Beat Clients.
I've been watching the Consultant's Revenge thread for a few days, but haven't commented because most everything that I would say has been said. I like the idea, but I'm also worried about liability. I also like JW's idea about a place where both clients and companies can be listed. I like this idea of the Deadbeat Clients list. But I have a question... shouldn't there be a list for clients who it's a fight to get paid, even if you eventually do? Or for clients who pay, but will negotiate you down after-the-fact? I have a few to add to the list if we're going to have a list like that.

RE: Dead Beat Clients.
If this list is going to be created, you can probably break it off into groups. 1. Dead Beats 2. Slow Pays 3. Partial Pays (Partial invoices, not partial jobs) I, personally, think this would be a grand idea. I also think that the company/client, should also be able to list on a similar system the names of those consultants that left them in a lurch, walked away from the job, or did something that specifically jeopardized the job. I have recently been speaking to a client who has had 3 people walk away. As much as this is a red flag for me to work with him, it also says something about consultants. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was the client, the consultant, or the job that was too obtrusive to be completed with. I know for myself, such a list may not stop me from working with a client, but it will make me 'stick to my requirements' harder. (If my agreement is weekly invoices, the first missed payment has all work stop until a satisfactory explanation or payment has been received, if it is by 'milestone', no work until payment has been received based on the milestone, etc.) The unfortunate thing about a list like this is that it can't be 'amended'. Once an email is sent on this list, it is forever searchable by the search engines. If you make a 'typo', or if a company name is the same for different companies across regions, then there has been a 'mistake' that cannot be 'redacted'. I think this would be better served using a database similar to the BBB system. I know, for instance, that there is at least 1 client out there who would say some poor things about me, and I about them. What it comes down to is a bad communication issue. (the specs were, apparently, unclear (I had thought that the client meant something, when they had meant something else.) Even though I have billed her for the hours I worked on it, she has never paid, and never responded to additional contact. I have written it off and I hope that we both took a lesson away from it. For me, even if you have worked on a similar project before, address every project as if you have never worked with them on one previously (get all the facts from scratch). Hers, be very clear in your specification documents. And one for both of us; don't just read and confirm each part of the specifications, review them all with the other party to verify the verbiage relates the intent. William -- William E.
