Jpg as a Watermark

Re: Jpg as a Watermark
I am presuming that a watermark doesn't have to use many colors. So, you might want to try gif instead of jpg.

Re: Debugging Out of Memory errors, SeeFusion Memory / Active requests graph
An update on this, for my own reference as well as for people googling. I
have, following various people's advice, changed the memory profile of our
application quite dramatically and I will summarize what I changed and the
tools I used to find the problems. I shall properly blog this later, no time
now.
Firstly, after installing and using JConsole, I figured it was high time I
learned about JVM and its memory spaces. I found the following articles very
useful:
http://www.slideshare.net/gengmao/inside-the-jvm-memory-management-and-troubleshooting
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2002/jw-0111-hotspotgc.html
I had also followed Paul's advice and increased New Gen space in the heap,
which did have an immediate effect, just not as large as I had hoped - more
on that in a bit.
Next I found error logs in the same directory as the jvm.config file (mine
was {colfusion}/runtime/bin), the part dump of which is seen below. It
turned out this was a reasonably common error, and not just to do with CF:
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/4/28/Understanding-HotSpot-in-Plain-English
This article recommended using the -Xint JVM option to turn off Hotspot
optimization. I did this and the effect was pretty disastrous on performance
(the effect can vary a lot depending on the nature of your application,
apparently).
I searched some more and found an article suggesting that to avoid the
error, free 'Survivor' space needed increasing - this seemed in line with
the state of memory at the time of my crash so I went ahead and started
tweaking, bringing me back to Paul's earlier advice but finally seeing me
use more dramatic settings:
-Xmn384m -XX:SurvivorRatio=1 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=25
This says, use 384Mb for new gen, of which 2/3rds will be for Survivor
space; also, the GC will aim to keep survivor space at least 75% empty (no
more than 25% full).
I ended with these figures after a whole heap of teaking that had previously
brought my memory spikes down. This had the benefit of clearly showing
little jumps in Old Gen memory every 10 seconds or so. I tracked these jumps
down using JConsole to spot the time of the jump and SeeFusion to see what
templates were requested at those times. My tracking led me to the same page
that appeared in my error log, a verity search. I googled and found:
Operations on collections (e.g., CFSearch and CFIndex) can cause growth
over time.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/175/tn_17517.html
No workarounds, that's just the way it is. I noted the size of memory being
eaten by these searches (up to and around 15MB) and ended with the JVM
settings quoted above, the idea being that there should be enough new gen
memory available to cope with these verity searches (so that object don't
just get dumped into Old gen all the time).
Finally, and most dramatically, I found some code that allowed a blank
search against verity. When I ran it, I found it ate 100-150Mb or RAM each
time. Using subversion, I found out when this became possible and why. It
turns out this code was committed and deployed the same day we started
seeing the crash reports on our servers and that it was an unneccessary
change, fixing the symptom of a bug but not the cause. I reverted the
change.
So now I have a very different JVM memory configuration on one of our live
servers and have committed a code change that will alleviate some horrid
memory abuse to all three. I have JConsole monitoring all three servers and
can see the modified server memory useage starkly contrasted against the
other two. I shall keep them running for a while and see how things go...
Anyways, enough already.

Right, so changing Eden memory size had a slight effect on the memory
useage pattern (spikes only going up to around 80% instead of 95%), but did
not stop the crashing.
Getting to grips with JConsole has been really useful / educating. I have
been monitoring all three of our live servers overnight and one of the
servers bombed this morning; I was then able to see what was going on in
memory when the bomb occurred:
* Old Gen - normal, using far less than peak
* Perm gen - normal, sub 90MB
* Eden - normal, far less than the 192MB allocated
* Survivor - had been flat at max (20MB) for around 20 seconds. Normal
shape of this graph for the server is very spikey, peaking very briefly and
very often
I then discovered the hs_err log for the crash (yes, I'm a server debugging

Internet Explorer and @ signs in link text
We're working with the eBay search APIs to do product searches and we're running into a problem. A lot of the item names have @ signs in the name (a lot of L@@K! or @ L@@K @. We use the item name as the link to the product, but in IE, the @ sign [under certain conditions, described below] causes the URL to be messed up. Instead of displaying the item name, it displays the actual URL. The link still works, but it's not exactly user-friendly. The cases that seem to cause it (that we know of): 1) two @ signs together ( @@ ) 2) a single @ sign surrounded by spaces When you get those results back on eBay's site, it doesn't cause a problem, so they must have found some way around it. But everything we've tried hasn't worked. We've tried displaying the HTML entities (#64), using HTMLEditFormat(), URLEncodedFormat(), and XMLFormat(). We've been able to get around the @@ problem by replacing them with the letter O [since it's most likely that @@ are meant to be O's and not a's]. But, with the single version, we can't necessarily assume that. And, we can't necessarily do replaces for every combination, because we don't know them all. So, does anyone know 1) why IE does this and 2) a good fix for it? I've tried to Google it, but it's hard because the search basically ignores @ symbols). And, I've tried to look in the eBay developer forums. Thanks! -- - Scott Brady http://www.scottbrady.net/ ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CF8, Vista, SQL 2005
Chad I think the datasource connection is ok as I can select single individual columns in a query. Thanks SQL Express or full installation of SQL server? If I remember right with Vista, SQL Express and CF you have to change some setting in SQL server to allow a connection. The port is different and there is a TCP setting you have to change. You may want to look at your firewall also.

Re: CF and MS Access support
I'm helping someone with a project and she elected to use GoDaddy as her host. They now tell her they have upgraded to the latest version of CF and it no longer supports MS Access databases. Have I missed something? This is news to me. It's possible that they're using 64-bit CF, which doesn't support Access.

jQuery Sortable list not working in CFWINDOW
Hello!
I have a page where a user can select other users to assign to a project. The
user drags and drops a user from a list on the left side into another list on
the right side. This is all handled using an unordered list and jQuery's
sortable() function. This works great by itself, but I am wanting to put this
into a cfwindow. I have attached the code below.
If I wrap this code into a cfwindow tag, it works. However, when I drop the
code in a file somewhere and set the source attribute in the cfwindow tag to
point to that file, it doesn't work. It also doesn't work if I use the
ColdFusion.Window.create() function. Any thoughts?
script type=text/javascript src=scripts/jQuery.js/script
script type=text/javascript src=scripts/jQuery_MenuDragDrop.js/script
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
// users available and assigned lists:
$(ul#sListAvailable, ul#sListAssigned).sortable({
connectWith: ul.userList,
placeHolder: ul.userList,

...
}
});
});

Amazon S3 - HTTPS and Live Stats
I'm looking into moving over to Amazon S3 for hosting static content on a site that is currently hosted internally. We see wildly varying amounts of bandwidth from day to day, so S3 seems to be a natural solution to cut bandwidth costs. I will need to be able to access the files over HTTPS AND keep some semblance of the current Live Stats reporting we use. Google is a little slim on some aspects of those two items. I thought I'd hit the list here and see if anyone had any advice. This is the only links I turned up on HTTPS: http://clouddevelopertips.blogspot.com/2009/08/amazon-s3-gotcha-using-virtual-host.html It seems to think you can't use HTTPS with a CNAME pointer which would be a downer, but not a deal breaker. (I've got tons of legacy code and E-mails that I would like to keep pointing at the old URL while it seamlessly repoints to an S3 bucket) On the Live Stats reports, I've found that logging can be enabled for a bucket... http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?LoggingHowTo.html ...but I can't seem to find any useful info on if those logs are anything like IIS logs and can be consumed by reporting tools like Live Stats. (And apparently Live Stats was bought by MS and dropped like 3 years ago, so I guess this would be a good time to find a new analytics app too :) On a related note, I was quite excited to see that ColdBox just came out with an S3 explorer app! Now if only Adobe CF had baked-in S3 support like Railo :) ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Amazon S3 - HTTPS and Live Stats
I'm looking into moving over to Amazon S3 for hosting static content on a site that is currently hosted internally. We see wildly varying amounts of bandwidth from day to day, so S3 seems to be a natural solution to cut bandwidth costs. I will need to be able to access the files over HTTPS AND keep some semblance of the current Live Stats reporting we use. Are you planning to use Amazon Cloudfront in front of your S3 content? http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ Google is a little slim on some aspects of those two items. I thought I'd hit the list here and see if anyone had any advice. This is the only links I turned up on HTTPS: http://clouddevelopertips.blogspot.com/2009/08/amazon-s3-gotcha-using-virtual-host.html It seems to think you can't use HTTPS with a CNAME pointer which would be a downer, but not a deal breaker. (I've got tons of legacy code and E-mails that I would like to keep pointing at the old URL while it seamlessly repoints to an S3 bucket) This is generally true, since the name in the cert needs to match the name used by the browser to make the HTTPS request. I'm not sure if Cloudfront solves this problem.

Re: CF8, Vista, SQL 2005
It might be worth looking at the connection settings in SQL studio. SQL studio by default will truncate long fields, which may be hiding row size limitations. If you bump up the field length limit in SQL studio and it still works, that would point even more strongly to JDBC.

listitems.sort(function(a, b){
var compA = $(a).text().toUpperCase();

});
$.each(listitems, function(idx, itm) {mylist.append(itm); });

Just pass it a UL id and do it either after the drop or on page load.

Re: Store Flash File in database then load into Flash?
Just pull the content, and use cfcontent + cfheader. If the data is base64()ed, toBinary() it first, but other than that, it's pretty straight forward. Basically a example of serving images from a DB will get you there. I've even got an example lying around here somewhere, if needed.

RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure
H. So the call to HTTP works, but HTTPS does not URLs are exactly the same I assume you have pinged around and made sure that the 4 servers resolve the domain exactly the same right? And you have tried a CF Restart? Sometimes the DNS cache for the JVM will have the wrong address in it if you have been making networking changes etc. Remember also that each server needs to be examined from the console (from RDP or whatever). You have to be able to troubleshoot by making outgoing requests from the individual servers. Still, I'm with dave. If it works via HTTP but not HTTPS it has to be the certs somehow. This post is about SSL 3.0 http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/2/24/CF-SSL30-Authorize-net But it also includes some info on how to test CF and the JVM and log the results.

Converting an AJAX response to coldfusion object
Hi all,
I am probably not using the correct 'language' here -- forgive me new to the
AJAX world.
I have a lovely cfgrid populated by binding it to a CFC. Everything works
great. I have some 'filters' that let the users filter the data in the grid.
Now the client has asked to have a 'download grid data to excel.'
I've done this many times in the past - just not with AJAX data. Now I am stuck.
The data is in a javascript object, which I'd like to convert to a coldfusion
object.
I've tried statements like cfset cfData=DeserializeJSON(theData)
and I've set 'theData' via javascript like var theData=
ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject('resource_list');
But I keep getting errors on variable theData not found.
a) if I don't specify returnFormat in my CFC, what format does cfgrid data come
back as? (JSON, WDDX?).
b) how can I convert the javascript object into a coldfusion object?
c) or should I be doing something totally different :-)
I am missing something -- help/suggestions much appreciated!
Cheers,
Matts

Any remote call to a CFC will return WDDX (unless otherwise specified).
You could serialize the JS object into JSON, then pass it to ColdFusion as a
struct.

Re: Internet Explorer and @ signs in link text
The problem isn't that it's breaking the URL. It's that the @ sign in the _text_ of the link (i.e., the text displayed on screen that the user clicks on) is causing the mess-up in the link (so that the URL is displayed as the link instead).. So, if we URL encode the @ symbol with %40, the user will actually see L%40%40K! instead of L@@K.

RE: Amazon S3 - HTTPS and Live Stats
Are you planning to use Amazon Cloudfront in front of your S3 content? At this point in time, no. Our business is confined to the US and CAN so I'm not too worried about people on the other side of the world. I'm making bet that the latency will be acceptable for this continent. Of course, please tell if you have found otherwise, or have a really good reason for me to begin considering cloud front again. Also, it doubled the price from what I could tell. (Not that it was that expensive to begin with). However I was vaguely annoyed at the lack of specifics regarding what bandwidth I have to pay for so I could have been calculating incorrectly. For instance, someone hits a 5 GB file through cloud front, so I have to pay for S3 bandwidth as well as cloud front bandwidth right? (That's where the twice as expensive part comes in) If I have 5 end points in the US, and someone downloads the file from each one, would I pay for 10 times the bandwidth of the file (instead of 5 times) to allow for it to be copied to each end point? Now my understanding is that is is cached now at the points. So if someone hits it again from the same end point, do I pay for both bandwidths again, or just the end point bandwidth. How long is it cached for? How do I refresh the cache? I quickly ended up with more questions than answers on the cloud front and it didn't seem worth the money so I sort of just left it. It seems to think you can't use HTTPS with a CNAME pointer which would be a downer, but not a deal breaker. (I've got tons of legacy code and E-mails that I would like to keep pointing at the old URL while it seamlessly repoints to an S3 bucket) This is generally true, since the name in the cert needs to match the name used by the browser to make the HTTPS request. I'm not sure if Cloudfront solves this problem. Hmm, it would be interesting if Cloud Front solved that, but I don't know why Cloud Front wouldn't suffer from the same problems that the S3 domains do. I'm curious why they won't simply let you set up a domain or subdomain and resolve it to an IP address on their end that was mapped to your bucket. Then if you own a wild card cert (which we do) they let you install that cert on their servers so it truly is your domain and your cert. Of course, all that may very well be easier said than done. Especially since that would take a lot of IP addresses, and it would tie you to a specific server on their end. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Internet Explorer and @ signs in link text
Can you paste in the HTML if a sample link in its broken form for us to see? I mean the actual anchor tag in its completeness. ~Brad Original Message Subject: Re: Internet Explorer and @ signs in link text From: Scott Brady dsbr...@gmail.com Date: Thu, November 19, 2009 9:55 pm To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com The problem isn't that it's breaking the URL. It's that the @ sign in the _text_ of the link (i.e., the text displayed on screen that the user clicks on) is causing the mess-up in the link (so that the URL is displayed as the link instead).. So, if we URL encode the @ symbol with %40, the user will actually see L%40%40K! instead of L@@K. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Converting an AJAX response to coldfusion object
a) if I don't specify returnFormat in my CFC, what format does cfgrid data come back as? (JSON, WDDX?). A naked call to a CFC usually returns WDDX. However, if you are binding to it with a cfgrid, returnformat=json is probably being added to the URL. b) how can I convert the javascript object into a coldfusion object? You don't. At least, not on the client side you don't. c) or should I be doing something totally different :-) Yes, I think you are barking up wrong creek with your paddle. If you want you export the data to Excel I think you should make regular call back to the server (not ajax) and that call should return an Excel file for the browser to handle however it saw fit. The Excel can be generated by simply outputting HTML tables and using cfcontent to tell the browser what it is, or you can get a native Excel file with Ben Nadel's POI utility or CFSpreadsheet if you are on CF9. The trick is that you probably want your current CFC you are using for your ajax call to be reusable so you don't have your query in two places. You can do this by having the actual call in a service that both your Ajax CFC and your export to Excel page call so both views are using the same service. Depending on what your Ajax CFC returns, you might be able to simply invoke and get its results back as a native CF result set in your Excel export page. The nice thing about CF is the eleventy billion ways you can get different data back from the same CFC. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CF and MS Access support
GoDaddy doesn't support Access databases on on Windows IIS 7 accounts running ColdFusion. They support neither Access nor Coldfusion on their Grid Web Hosting accounts. If she will log into her GoDaddy account, go to the help center and search on Coldfusion, there are several articles that address this, and each has a link that will let her check her account to see if Access and/or Coldfusion are supported.

Hi all,
I am probably not using the correct 'language' here -- forgive me new to the
AJAX world.
I have a lovely cfgrid populated by binding it to a CFC. Everything works
great. I have some 'filters' that let the users filter the data in the grid.
Now the client has asked to have a 'download grid data to excel.'
I've done this many times in the past - just not with AJAX data. Now I am
stuck.
The data is in a javascript object, which I'd like to convert to a coldfusion
object.
I've tried statements like cfset cfData=DeserializeJSON(theData)
and I've set 'theData' via javascript like var theData=
ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject('resource_list');
But I keep getting errors on variable theData not found.
a) if I don't specify returnFormat in my CFC, what format does cfgrid data
come back as? (JSON, WDDX?).
b) how can I convert the javascript object into a coldfusion object?
c) or should I be doing something totally different :-)
I am missing something -- help/suggestions much appreciated!
Cheers,

That said, I would not bet the farm on my understanding here, as I haven't really looked that closely at Cloudfront yet. Well, it's a good thing you kept the farm out of the chip pile. :) I went back and re-read all the CloudFront stuff. Here are the highlights: Amazon CloudFront uses Amazon S3 as the origin server to store the original, definitive versions of your files. Normal fees will apply for Amazon S3 usage, including âorigin fetchesâ â data transferred from Amazon S3 to edge locations. and... Copying objects to edge locations When Amazon CloudFront receives a request for an object it doesnât already have at an edge location, it makes a standard GET request back to Amazon S3. You incur the normal Amazon S3 charges for GET requests and for data transfer out; the charges appear in the Amazon S3 portion of your AWS statement. On the topic of caching: ...when space is needed at an edge location, the service will remove less popular objects in order to make room for more popular ones. This means that objects that arenât accessed frequently are less likely to remain in CloudFrontâs edge locationsâ caches. Thus, for less popular objects, delivery out of Amazon S3 (rather than from CloudFront) is the better choice. Amazon S3 will provide strong distribution performance for these objects, and serving them directly from Amazon S3 saves you the cost of continually copying less popular objects from Amazon S3 to the edge locations in CloudFront. So it looks like CloudFront works best for objects that are accessed a lot. (duh) However, an object that was accessed infrequently might incur you additional charges because it is continually being copied back to the edge location. Not to mention that would defeat the purpose of the edge location since the transfer would have to come from the S3 servers. What the docs DON'T tell me is what other objects mine have to compete with to stay cached at an edge location. If I was sharing an edge location with a LOT of frequently accessed files from other customers, my object would probably experience more evictions than at a sleepier location. Well, I don't know if it solves that problem or not, but because this service is aimed specifically at HTTP usage for end-users of a web site, I wouldn't be too surprised if they had. Ok, ready for something funny? I dredged Google some more and reality turns out to be the opposite of that. In fact, CloudFront has NO SSL support. None. They encourage you to use S3 for all your HTTPS traffic. Heh --so much for their service aimed specifically at HTTP usage. :) http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=26488start=15tstart=0 What's worse is one site claimed that CloudFront allows you to use up to 10 CNAMEs per distribution where S3 only allows one per bucket. (I needed at least 2) Well I guess I'm darned if I use S3 and darned it I used CloudFront. lol http://www.bucketexplorer.com/documentation/cloudfront--amazon-s3-vs-amazon-cloudfront.html I like the Amazon Web Services, but they have had a continual string of pretty big gotcha's-- like lack of server affinity support (sticky sessions) in their EC2 cloud. At least it's very cheap to sign up for and experiment with since there are no upfront contracts! ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
