CF8 web service invocation error - possibly when under high load or after 2-3 days uptime
Hi,
I currently have a web service MYSERVICE. This service is on 3 physically
seperate web servers, DEV, TEST, LIVE.
DEV is accessed by developers only
TEST is accessed by developers and clients only
LIVE is public
Coldfusion version for all servers is 8.0.1. Axis version is the same on all
servers.
The consuming websites for DEV resides on the same physical server as the web
service, and has very low traffic. The consuming websites for TEST reside on
the same physical server as the consuming websites for LIVE, which is a
seperate physical server to the TEST web service. The consuming websites for
LIVE reside on the same physical server as the LIVE web service.
The consuming websites for DEV resides on the same physical server as the web
service, and has very low traffic. The consuming websites for TEST reside on
the same physical server as the consuming websites for LIVE, which is a
seperate physical server to the TEST web service. The consuming websites for
LIVE reside on the same physical server as the LIVE web service.
Periodically the following error is experienced :
AXIS ERROR org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanPropertyTarget - Could not convert
MYSERVICE.types.common.login to bean field 'auth', type
MYSERVICE.types.common.login
This only appears to affect TEST and LIVE. Previously the TEST
webservice was on the same phsyical webserver as LIVE webservice + TEST +
LIVE websites. During this time the TEST webservice was accessed as
MYSERVICE_test.
Currently on LIVE server there is a directory mapping for /MYSERVICE/ to the
root directory of the LIVE web service. There is also a coldfusion
webservice MYSERVICE_search pointing to the WSDL of the live web service.
There is also a coldfusion webservice MYSERVICE_search_test pointing to the
wsdl of the test web service.
The error appears to happen most commonly when under high load, and the only
way I have so far found to correct it involves resetting the coldfusion server
which is not ideal.
The process prior to the error is as follows :
obj_service = CreateObject('webservice','MYSERVICE');
obj_login = obj_service.authLogin('user','password');
obj_search = obj_service.doSearch(obj_login,'somevar');
The AXIS error appears to relate to that .doSearch method call.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what may be causing this and how I can work
around this? If there is additional information required then please let me
know and I will get that together. All indications are that this is a problem
on the side of the consuming website, although I cannot tell any more than that
and any research I have done over the last day or so has proved fruitless (or
has provided outdated, i.e. 5-7 year old, articles)

As an additional note to the above, the LIVE server restarts every day at approx 0700, and this problem only ever seems to occur at some point past 1900-2100 and then seems to continue sporadically until server restart at 0700. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Consuming a webservice fails in CF but not in Eclipse WPT
Hi Paul My guess is a namespace issue on the type EmployeeBean In one message it is referenced from namespace imp1, in another message it's referenced from xsd, so I'm guessing that if you correct whichever is incorrect it will work fine (probably the xsd:EmployeeBean needs changing to imp1:EmployeeBean) - this is just a guess but it does seem to indicate that it's looking for EmployeeBean type in namespace xsd which == http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchem when it would be in the namespace of urn:TBEWebAPI == imp1 messages with imp1:EmployeeBean wsdl:message name=getEmployeeByNumberResponse wsdl:part name=getEmployeeByNumberReturn type=impl:EmployeeBean/ /wsdl:message wsdl:message name=getEmployeeByIdResponse wsdl:part name=getEmployeeByIdReturn type=impl:EmployeeBean/ /wsdl:message messages with xsd:EmployeeBean wsdl:message name=upsertEmployeeRequest wsdl:part name=sessionId type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=employeeNumber type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=bean type=xsd:EmployeeBean/ /wsdl:message wsdl:message name=createEmployeeRequest wsdl:part name=sessionId type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=bean type=xsd:EmployeeBean/ /wsdl:message wsdl:message name=updateEmployeeRequest wsdl:part name=sessionId type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=bean type=xsd:EmployeeBean/ /wsdl:message I hope this is of help, - Simon H ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

I made progress but then got the error that the FlexRollingEntityBean was referenced but not defined. This was the same issue so I replaced all xsd:FlexRollingEntityBean with impl:FlexRollingEntityBean and re-ran the WSDL2Java tool again, this time it generated a null exception. What vexes me most is that the wsdl works in Eclipse WPT so these issues I'm seeing seem to be related to the way in which CF is built to consume web services but their example WSDL file on the Taleo web site can be consumed by CF without a problem. Comparing the example to the actual wsdl generated by their servers however shows several differences so it does seem to add weight to the idea that it's the generation of the wsdl file that is faulty in some way and Eclipse WPT is just less sensitive to the faults.

RE: Consuming a webservice fails in CF but not in Eclipse WPT
I just figured out that Eclipse WPT does not validate wsdl documents when it consumes them whereas CF does. You can force Eclipse WPT to validate a local copy of a wsdl file and when I do that on the Taleo API wsdl file it fails with multiple errors. So my problem with consuming the Taleo API webservice is down to Taleo rather than CF although it would be nice if you could turn off the validation routines but as I understand it, it's the underlying wsdl2java.jar functions that are at work when we consume web services so I don't think that turning off the validation is a realistic option.

Re: Deploying a WAR (or EAR) file to JRun under CF9?
I tried going to localhost:8000, but nothing is listening there. Do I need to start a separate JRun server/service? I thought it would already be running along with ColdFusion?? The only port listening in the 8000 range is 8300 (CF web trial server).

Clear Fields In Firefox
I'm having issues with Firefox filling in my UserID and Password fields on a log-in form (present on every page).

CFINPUT Value=, no effect. CFINPUT Value= works, but in the password field it show the space. 3. Added a clear_form JS function and OnLoad of the page I clear the fields.

Re: Clear Fields In Firefox
Couple of options you can try: 1) add autocomplete=off to the input 2) on page load do a document.forms['formname'].reset() 3) generate a UUID and append it to the field name (pass as a hidden input to retrieve values on the action page). this should ensure unique form field names which should prevent auto-population.

RE: Format word text pasted
How would you go about formatting text pasted from a word document into a coldfusion web form? This is what I do. But it requires some jar files to work to the best of its capabilities. 1. Install the jTidy jars. And register cfx_markdown as a java CFX tag. 2. Check to see if the posted data is HTML or not. 3. If the posted data is *not* HTML, use some RegEx and cfx_markdown to create some HTML from the posted data. 4. Clean out junk HTML markup that a Word formatted submission would include. 5. Parse the HTML with jTidy to make the HTML valid. 6. Run some funky functions to create ordered and unordered lists where appropriate. 7. Re-parse the HTML using jTidy again to ensure that the HTML is still valid. 8. Fix the appearance of ampersands though out the text. 9. Return valid, cleanly formatted HTML. Also should you format the data before it is inputed into the database or would you format the data when it is displayed? On the Store the formatted markup rather than the pasted junk as you only need to parse it once. If you store it as posted and re-parse every time you pull it out, you're putting extra load on the server. If you're paranoid about maybe the parser getting things wrong, store the posted and fixed content together and when you introduce improvements to your Word parsing algorithms, you can re-parse the old content too. I have source code for this but it's quite a chunk of code and is spread around a few CFC's I could probably put all the functions into a file for you to give you some inspiration and you might be able to re-factor them for your purposes as it's really not an easy thing to do and get right. One day I may just make a Word Cleaner CFC that does this all in one place :-). Paul ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Clear Fields In Firefox
I've always had an idea of randomizing a form element's name and passing that random name to the following page to force the browser to not autocomplete the information (it can't pre-populate if it's never seen the form name before). I've never actually worked out how to do this mainly because I've never had to but I don't think it's very hard. Perhaps randomize the username field and then have a hidden field named username and have the value as the real username element's random name so you have access to it. Just an idea.

With radio buttons, checkboxes, and multiple select dropdowns it doesn't matter if the form is there on the view page.

Re: Clear Fields In Firefox
Also, javascript can probably clear the fields if you just want them to be blank, of course javascript can be turned off, but it's an alternative.

Session is invalid error is driving me nuts!
All, Ok, this is a little pet peeve of mine. We have session timeout set and we tell users that they have to do something within so much time. Problem is the users ignore that. They open a page with a form, leave it open for an hour, then when they submit the form Session is invalid error. They see a nicely formatted An Error has occurred page, but I get an email for each one. Any ideas (besides changing the timeout) of what I might do to prevent this? I have toyed with the idea of locking the form and putting up a message saying that they timed out. Then they would have to close the window/tab. Even if they hit refresh it would generate a new session, so no error. I'm just not sure of the best way to go about that. Also, anything I'd try to figure out should be able to just be cfincluded or done in Application.cfm/cfc so that I don't have to go through hundreds of files to solve this one.

Stripping tabs/linebreaks/spacing on a high traffic production server

On some other high traffic sites I see HTML compressed into a single line of code. How can we do that reliably while still making the code readable by developers. One thing we considered was to wrap blocks in cfsavecontent, and then use regex to strip out the tabs/linebreaks/etc, and save the blocks of code into the application scope.

Re: Stripping tabs/linebreaks/spacing on a high traffic production server
A couple tags that are realy useful for stripping whitespace are the cfsilent/cfsilent block and the cfsetting enableCFoutputOnly = true. You can also make use of the cfprocessingdirective supressWhiteSpace=yes and the setting in the ColdFusion administrator that has a similar affect. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Session is invalid error is driving me nuts!
Steve, There are a number of ways (probably more than I'm listing here): 1. If you're using Application.cfm, sdd code to it so that if of your session (say, session.logged_in) is undefined, then it will redirect the user to a login page. This way, the 'processing' page for your form never even gets loaded and the result is no error (just a frustrated user from having filled out the form and now they will have to do it again) 2. Add a meta tag redirect to your form page that matches your session timeout. Although this is a client side redirect, it can accomplish pretty much the same thing - if there is no activity in the browser for that period of time, the page redirects to a specified page (your session has timed out, click here to login) or something like that. I would prefer option 1, but others prefer option 2. There are probably some other options some may have here on the list as well.

Re: Stripping tabs/linebreaks/spacing on a high traffic production server
before you go into minimizing whitespace, you should really remove all those cfoutput tags from around code that does not have any cf variables in it. that will speed up the page somewhat since cf will not have to parse your html looking for non-existent cfml in it... wrapping all your code in cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace=yes/cfprocessingdirective will help reduce whitespace (especially cf-generated whitespace), too. minifying your js and css can further reduce loading times. hth Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ On 05/11/2009 02:26, Jeff Gladnick wrote: We have a VERY high traffic website, and we're trying to speed up the pageload times a bit.

Re: Stripping tabs/linebreaks/spacing on a high traffic production server
Yes, that makes plenty of sense. However, all that regex processing *could* be a bit of a fruitless drain so, if you can, cache the page content (using CF and compressed using the method you describe). Caching the output could really speed things up but, of course, can be a problem if there's session/logged-in user based output. Testing should be the decider on how much the white space processing effects things if you can't cache your output. There's a udf on cflib.org to do with html whitespace stripping: http://www.cflib.org/index.cfm?event=page.udfbyidudfid=812 Another thing to look out for when using the 'extreme', single line compression is that it can break some inline javascript that is missing optional semi-colons.

You can't do a redirect .. or any client output... in onsessionend() ... because that runs when the session is over. Maybe something like this: cffunction name=onrequeststart blah blah cfif not IsDefined(session.whatever) cflocation url=/login... /cfif What I do in that instance is check their cookie. I keep my session lengths short to preserve memory, but if they have a valid cookie that hasn't expired, i start the session again right there... by the time the form submits in the onrequest method, they have a valid session again.

cfinvoke vs creatobject
I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure this out. The code below works great when I use createObject, but it doesn't when I use cfinvoke.

Re: custom tag content displaying twice
Barney, Well, as I said, in this case the prinicple of least surprise would have effused a behavior wherein the page calling the custom tag would not have rendered the content, leaving that responsibility to the tag itself. In _my_ mind, anyway. I mean, if the tag is supposed to receive the content, the calling page really has no business rendering the content again. And not being able to stop it from being rendered again is a serious drawback. I mean, think of the lowly EM tag. It takes the input and renders the content in italics (or whatever). The browser doesn't then render the content again UNitalicized, correct? It trusts the EM tag to take care of its business. Isn't that the way a tag should work? I'll try your suggestion, below, but I've already gone the less elegant route of using cfsavecontent around my content and pushing the resulting variable as an attribute into the now-self-closing custom tag.

Re: custom tag content displaying twice
The custom tag isn't rendering the content again, YOU are rendering the content again. If you create an empty custom tag and invoke it, you'll get a single copy of the output. If you then add emitting of the generated content in the custom tag, you'll get two copies. So building up from the nothing case, you can see that you should expect double output if you're doing outputting explicitly. The EM tag in HTML is rather different, because it's being interpreted as a formatting directive, not executed as code. A better example would be CFQUERY, where the generated content (the SQL statement) is not emitted to the page output. If you were to reimplement a simplistic CFQUERY, it might look like this (using some magic helper functions for brevity): cfif thisTag.executionMode EQ start cfparam name=attributes.dsn default=#application.dsn# / cfelse cfset sql = thisTag.generatedContent / cfset thisTag.generatedContent = / !--- we don't want the SQL emitted --- cfset result = runQueryOnDsn(attributes.dsn, sql) / cfif structKeyExists(attributes, name) cfset caller[attributes.name] = result / /cfif /cfif cheers, barneyb On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Mik Muller ad...@montaguema.net wrote: Barney, Well, as I said, in this case the prinicple of least surprise would have effused a behavior wherein the page calling the custom tag would not have rendered the content, leaving that responsibility to the tag itself.

Strange Behavior Between ColdFusion Database
Hi Everyone, I am running ColdFusion 8 with SQL Server 2005. I recently decided to take a direct query against the database and simply move it into a stored procedure instead. So before I was doing a cfquery I am now doing a cfstoredproc instead. After I made the change, I logged onto my website and requested the data from the interface and it took a long time for database to retrieve the result. I began digging into this by looking at the performance of my database server while the request was running. I discovered that it was reading from the disk for the entire time. I know your first reaction will be to tell me to check my table, index, queries etc...but here is the kicker. After I executed the stored procedure from the front end, I logged onto the database server, opened SQL Studio Management Express, executed the same stored procedure with identical parameters and it returned within a couple of seconds (ALL WHILE the front end was still waiting on the same data!). Does anyone have any experience with a similar problem. Basically, I'm seeing different database behavior from Coldfusion vs. directly against the database (SQL Studio Management Express). ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
