help with using CFCProxy.
Hello everybody, I want to call ColdFusion objects from a Java class. I found this docucmentation by Ben Forta on CFCProxy: http://www.forta.com/misc/cfcproxy.htm I have a my CFC (see below) that has an init function which initialies all the objects? cfcomponent name=javacall cffunction name=init output=false returntype=javacall hint=initialise cfscript //Example object this.objFont = createObject(java,java.awt.Font).init(Arial,0,10); return this; /cfscript /cffunction /cfcomponent The documentation says that the getThisScope() method can be used to retrieve the 'This' scope of the CFC. I want to retreive the 'objFont' this variable. Can someone show me how to do this please?

Re: Strange error with cffeed
I've given read and execute - I haven't tried with execute only but I will and I'll report the results. While it's quite possible to escalate privilege as you say, it's also possible we'd catch people doing this with our regular automated server checks - and I can find out where they live :-) It's one of the things we have to live with if we want to provide decent Java integration features. mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/1/21 Jochem van Dieten joch...@gmail.com: On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 8:00 AM, James Holmes wrote: We have sandboxing turned on; while just about everything works as you would expect without it, it appears that for some functionality (including cffeed) the path to [coldfusion instance]/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib needs to be added to the sandbox.

Re: AW: Railo Hosting or a very basic VPS to install it on
Do you need SQL Server 2008? Will MySQL do? If you can live with LINUX, check out eapps.com. They specialize in Java related hosting. Been using them for over 6 months. very happy. All their plans include root access. I am using railo/jetty/litespeed setup, with Percona performance patched MYSQL. If you need help setting up in linux just give me a holler.

Re: cffile cannot access network drive
This is Windows, right? As these are not domain machines, create an account on the machine whic has permissions necessary to run CF, and set that as your CF account. Create an account on the remote machine with the same username and password that has permission to access the remote share. The credentials wil be passed from the server to the remote share and hopefully, you'll get in. Be sure to use UNC names rather that mapped drives - mapped drives are kept in user profiles and are not available across the entire system to all machines.

RE: cffile cannot access network drive
Then your options are limited to having the same user on each machine and running the CF service as that user. Just make the user an administrator and use the administrative shares if you aren't comfortable playing with the permissions. There is a hidden admin share for each drive on the machines. For instance, the C drive can be accessed by \\servername\c$\ (if it hasn't been explicitly disabled) D drive would be \\servername\d$\ etc... If it is for development only and not accessible outside of a corporate/dev firewall, doing this would have very limited security risks. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

CSS in .cfm file
I've done it in the past and it's never been a problem, but I'm wondering if there is ever a reason not to have the following: link type=text/css rel=stylesheet href=a-cf-page.cfm / Do any browsers complain that it's not a .css file? I think it'll be ok but does anyone know different? One downside, opening a .cfm page in the IDE, you might not get the syntax highlighting etc. I suppose the same question goes for scripts too.

Re: CSS in .cfm file
The only main downside to this is that browsers may not cache the style and|or script files as it would with normal file extensions increasing bandwidth and load times for web pages.

Re: cffile uploads and Load balancing
Sounds like your load balancing isn't set up to allow multipart posts, or maybe there's a size limit - try uploading something like a 3-byte text file, just for kicks, and submit a multipart form with no attachment to see which it is.

AW: Railo on Windows VPS + IIS
Yves, normally you could only receive this message when Railo is running on a different port and you call the server over localhost directly. We had some issues in the past because Caucho has changed the default port of the servlet where Resin is listening from 6800 to 6802. But you should investigate this a little more by starting the resin service like follows and then see what errors pop up: C:\Program Files\Railo\httpd.exe -Xms512M -Xmx512M -conf conf/resin.conf -java_home jre -java_exe jre\bin\java Where C:\Program Files\Railo is the folder where Railo is installed. Then a dos box pops up that displays any errors (it's the console) Let me know about the results.

Re: Railo on Windows VPS + IIS
Hi Gert, I tried : C:\Program Files\Railo\httpd.exe -Xms512M -Xmx512M -conf conf/resin.conf -java_home jre -java_exe jre\bin\java in Start-Run.. Only, I used the command that was in the windows service properties of Railo.. which was: C:\Program Files\Railo\httpd.exe -Xms256M -Xmx512M -conf conf/resin.conf -java_home jre -java_exe jre\bin\java And the consol says: Can't start NT service Resin Thanks, Yves Arsenault Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. --Martin Luther King, Jr. On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 1:42 PM, Gert Franz gert.fr...@railo.ch wrote: Yves, normally you could only receive this message when Railo is running on a different port and you call the server over localhost directly.

Re: CSS in .cfm file
Adrian, Merging all CSS and JS into a single download is done all the time in the ASP.NET world. I think this would be considered a best-practice for Web-site programming. You should be able to keep the .css extension on the original file and cfinclude it into the cfm file. This is easier to pull off in ASP.NET thanks to the powerful Visual Studio IDE. In .NET Web sites the file that bundles all these linked resources together is named WebResouce.axd. You will see this if you view source on the Microsoft.com home page. So if you want to read about pitfalls with this technique, it is probably well documented on the MSDN Web site or by googling WebResource.axd. -Mike Chabot On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 11:54 AM, Adrian Lynch cont...@adrianlynch.co.uk wrote: I've done it in the past and it's never been a problem, but I'm wondering if there is ever a reason not to have the following: link type=text/css rel=stylesheet href=a-cf-page.cfm / Do any browsers complain that it's not a .css file?

CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
I currently have a PDF form that has had usage rights enabled (in Acrobat under 'Advanced' then 'Enable Usage Rightes'). If I give this form, as is, to someone with only Adobe Reader they can enter info, save it to their desktop, and continue editing again at their leisure. What I would like to do is pre-populate a number of fields of the PDF form based on certain application criteria and THEN email it to a person for additional data entry. However, when I try using CFPDFForm - either by itself to create a new PDF or inserted as a PDF between the CFDocument tags - opening the newly created PDF on a user's machine who only has Adobe Reader give the following message: This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document. Is the copy produced by ColdFusion 'flattening' the PDF? What is going on? Why can't I populate a section of a PDF form automatically and then pass it off for additional data entry?

Character encoding problem
Hi, I'm posting this question for a friend of mine who has two problems: 1 the one described below, 2 although he is registered in CF-Talk, his posts do not get trhrough. Hello, Sometimes accented characters entered in a textarea field are replaced with strange characters when recorded in my MS Access memo field, For exemple © instead of ÂÉ. For debugging purpose, I used CFFile to record the same field value in a ..txt file. When open with notepad, the accented characters are displayed correctly, but the HEX values contained in the file seem to indicate UTF-16 Little Endian. The file start with FF FE and the other characters have the form XX 00. Considering IÂm with CF5 and it canÂt be upgraded, my question is: Is there a way (with CF5) that I can prevent the field to contain anything else that ISO-8859-1? By parsing the characters? Using Access? Any other ideas?

You can't make changes with CF's PDF manipulation stuff without breaking Reader Extensions functionality. That's just the way it is, right now. You can do this sort of thing fairly easily with LiveCycle ES; CF only includes a tiny subset of LCES functionality.

Re: CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
It's just the way it is Not so. Apple Preview Users are able to edit the generated PDF's just fine. This seems to imply a couple things: 1) There is nothing wrong with the structure of the PDF - rather, Adobe Reader is enforcing arbitrary restrictions 2) Would they be doing this to encourage folks to get a LifeCycle license Obviously, having employees using Apple Preview to process forms isn't dependable - I would think a call from Adobe to Apple and that little loophole would be patched up.

Re: CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
It's just the way it is Not so. Apple Preview Users are able to edit the generated PDF's just fine. Apple Preview is not Adobe Reader. It's a third-party application which can do whatever Apple wants it to do with PDFs. Third-party PDF applications are not constrained by the limitations of Adobe Reader. It is, in fact, just the way it is that if you use CF to manipulate Reader-enabled PDFs, that breaks the Reader Extensions functionality. This seems to imply a couple things: 1) There is nothing wrong with the structure of the PDF - rather, Adobe Reader is enforcing arbitrary restrictions 2) Would they be doing this to encourage folks to get a LifeCycle license Obviously, having employees using Apple Preview to process forms isn't dependable - I would think a call from Adobe to Apple and that little loophole would be patched up. My biggest confusion is WHY Adobe CF would handle things that way? I can't tell you why Adobe does things. I can only tell you how things are. But yes, Adobe Reader does enforce arbitrary restrictions that other PDF applications are free to ignore. And I'm sure Adobe would like everyone to buy LiveCycle ES servers, too. I don't know why CF breaks Reader Extensions functionality; I don't know if it's intentional or just an oversight.

Re: CSS in .cfm file
Well, I have to take that back. I was positive it was caching, but
now I can't seem to make it do so. But it still reads the style info
properly.
Using Firebug to view my NET activity show that the cfm style sheet is
reloaded every time even after turing on Coldfusion caching. I added
a call to a second static style sheet ending in the normal .css and
Firebug returns 304 not modified status for the .css style sheet.
So, I can generate a dynamic style sheet and link to in as style.cfm
but the browser won't cache it. Even tried to trick it with this
link href=style.cfm?.css rel=stylesheet
and it won't stick in the browser cache.

Re: Character encoding problem
Claude, A couple things to try off the top of my head... First, always use UTF-8, whenever you can, it's the best solution all around. If you could use CFMX, I would say to use the setEncoding function, you tell it what scope and what encoding, and it somehow helps encode it. And last, set an encoding in your HTML header with a meta tag. I forget the syntax, you can probably google it yourself :) Overall, though, if you're having character encoding problems, your real problem is that you're on CF5 - way, way outdated and not at all supported. Thanks to Java, the internationalization and character set encoding in CF 6 + is like decades more advanced. nathan strutz [Blog and Family @ http://www.dopefly.com/] [AZCFUG Manager @ http://www.azcfug.org/] On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 4:14 PM, Claude Schneegans schneeg...@internetique.com wrote: Hi, I'm posting this question for a friend of mine who has two problems: 1 the one described below, 2 although he is registered in CF-Talk, his posts do not get trhrough.
