RE: meta tag location
If you are putting them in application.cfm then they will be the same for all pages - some search engines might see this as metadata spamming and may penalise you - notwithstanding that I think Google does not rely on metadata because people tell fibs in metadata but not in the page content so they index on page content. ++ KPA ++ -Original Message- From: Les Irvin [mailto:les.cft...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 7 January 2010 6:41 AM To: cf-talk Subject: meta tag location I usually put a few meta tags in the application.cfm file, and a few more on the individual pages.

Re: Is it possible for a ColdFusion web service method to return an object?
Using some of Leigh's suggestions I am now successfully returning an object as I expected to be able to do. But there is still some minor wierdness. This code is now working mostly as I would expect it to, accept for some strange reason when the nested myObject.cfc is called from the webservice code, the getFoo() function will not return the default value. It works properly after setFoo() is used to set a value, but not with the initial default value. *webservice-test.cfm* |!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd; html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; head meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 / titleComplex Webservice Tests/title /head body div style=width: 39.5%; float:left; cfset testObj = createObject(component,webservice) getID:cfoutput#testObj.getID()#/cfoutputhr / getFoo:cfoutput#testObj.getObj().getFoo()#/cfoutputhr / cfset testObj.getObj().setFoo(New Stuff) getFoo:cfoutput#testObj.getObj().getFoo()#/cfoutputhr / cfdump var=#testObj.getObj()# expand=yeshr / cfdump var=#testObj# expand=yes /div div style=width: 59.5%; float:right; cfset testWS = createObject(webservice,http://localhost/webservice.cfc?wsdl;) cfset nestedObj = testWS.getObj() getID:cfoutput#testWS.getID()#/cfoutputhr / getFoo:cfoutput#nestedObj.getFoo()#/cfoutputhr / cfset nestedObj.setFoo(New Stuff) getFoo:cfoutput#nestedObj.getFoo()#/cfoutputhr / cfdump var=#nestedObj# cfdump var=#testWS# /div /body /html | *webservice.cfc* |cfcomponent cfproperty name=ID default=10 type=numeric cfproperty name=obj type=myobject cfset variables.ID = 12 cfset variables.obj = createObject(component,myobject) cffunction name=getID access=remote returntype=numeric cfreturn variables.ID /cffunction cffunction name=getObj access=remote returntype=myobject cfreturn variables.obj /cffunction /cfcomponent | *myobject.cfc* |cfcomponent cfproperty name=foo default=bar type=string cfset variables.foo = bar cffunction name=setFoo returntype=void cfargument name=foo type=string cfset variables.foo = arguments.foo /cffunction cffunction name=getFoo returntype=string cfreturn variables.foo /cffunction /cfcomponent | ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

You have to manage state yourself. To be more specific to my own reply, when you invoke a web service method, you are instantiating your object and then immediately destroying it, just like if you used CFINVOKE to call a method directly. If you want to manage state, you can write to a persistent store (Session, Application, Server scopes, databases, etc, although the Session scope relies on the caller to pass the session token on subsequent requests, which may not happen).

Re: I am just not understanding how to make a web service.
If I am understanding Dave correctly. A web service component does not maintain state natively. Thus information stored in the 'this' and 'variables' scope of a component are not maintained from one call to another. But the web service component can access the other cross request scopes such as server, application and session. So if I want to maintain state, I need to write and read the state data from one of these scopes with the web service. Is that correct, Dave? You where talking about the web service component code writing and reading to the application or session scope, NOT the consuming code. Continuing this train of thought, since web service calls do not include cookies, normal session state is not maintained and I would have to handle that myself. Does anybody have any good pointers or reading material about suggested methods to maintain state across web service calls. I.E. is there someway to pass the normal cookie values into the web service and allow the web service code to access the session scope?

Re: jquery javascript coldfusion.navigate cflayout cfdiv
I am a jQuery newbie so I definitely feel your pain. One method that has
worked for me is to the bottom-up approach.
Start with a bare-bone simple form with just the jQuery stuff and then add
the other stuff you want in, one by one. Make sure to also strip down your
CSS file to just those definitions directly relating to the jQuery
stuff. This way you can figure out when it stops working and then narrow it
down to the prime suspect.

Re: I am just not understanding how to make a web service.
A web service component does not maintain state natively. Thus information stored in the 'this' and 'variables' scope of a component are not maintained from one call to another. Right. But the web service component can access the other cross request scopes such as server, application and session. So if I want to maintain state, I need to write and read the state data from one of these scopes with the web service. Is that correct, Dave? You where talking about the web service component code writing and reading to the application or session scope, NOT the consuming code. Right. Continuing this train of thought, since web service calls do not include cookies, normal session state is not maintained and I would have to handle that myself. Not necessarily right. Some web service clients will pass cookies properly. I believe that CF does this, so if you have your application set to use cookies with session management, your CF client should work fine. Does anybody have any good pointers or reading material about suggested methods to maintain state across web service calls. I.E. is there someway to pass the normal cookie values into the web service and allow the web service code to access the session scope? If you want, you can build your own state management mechanism that would basically return a token on the first method call, then accept that token on subsequent method calls - basically just what cookies do, but an explicit value that would be passed as an argument to subsequent requests. But I suspect that most web service clients support cookies by default nowadays.

CFHTTP wierdness
So I've got a production and a live server. Both running CF8, Win 2003 Server Standard Ed, IIS6. Both have the same code calling a remote, non-CF-based web service via a cfhttp call to an https URL. We are getting sporadic Connection Failure messages from cfhttp. This clearly isn't the old cfhttp_5 inability to connect to a secure site because it works normally. However, it the dev server can still often connect when the production server can't. Though we definitely sometimes experience the inability to connect on both sometimes. I've tried changing timeouts anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds. I now loop over the attempt to connect a bunch of times before showing an error message to the user. I know this is a shot in the dark, but I figured I would ask if anyone has experienced anything like this or has any thoughts. I'm also open to suggestions on how to try to diagnose the problem. --Jeff p.s. The web service is pretty esoteric - Kintera Sphere ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: jquery javascript coldfusion.navigate cflayout cfdiv
The answer came from the jedi master himself Ray Camden:
if you put the click handler in the root document,
and switch it to Live(), then it will work.
So changing the event handler to
$(#checkboxall).live(click,function() {
Makes it work.
Even Ray was a little surprised that Live() was needed in this case. I
never even heard of Live() cause I don't use jQuery that much, I should
start.
But it works now, thanks All.

Start with a bare-bone simple form with just the jQuery stuff and then add
the other stuff you want in, one by one. Make sure to also strip down your
CSS file to just those definitions directly relating to the jQuery
stuff. This way you can figure out when it stops working and then narrow it

Mail directory locked

This exception was caused by: coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler$SpoolLockTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the lock on the mail spool directory.. So the question is, what is causing this lock? From what I can see, there are no permission issues with the mail directory. Anyone have a clue?

RE: CFHTTP wierdness
Hmm, it almost sounds like an intermittent network problem. Out of curiosity what if you set up a cfexecute to capture the results of a ping command to the remote server at the time it failed. If it turns out to be something low-level like that you might save some time trouble CFML that is just fine. Also, if the error can be reproduced fairly easily, you can try setting up a packet sniffer (like WireShark) on your server to capture the traffic and see what is happening. You'd probably want to set up some pre-capture filters though-- capture files could get big pretty quick on a server with a lot of network traffic. ~Brad Original Message Subject: CFHTTP wierdness From: Jeff Langevin jlange...@outdoors.org Date: Thu, January 07, 2010 2:51 pm To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com So I've got a production and a live server.

RE: Mail directory locked
I don't have any direct experience with that error, but I can suggest a tool such as filemon (looks like it's been rolled into process monitor now) to try and find what process is holding the locks at least. It might be a bit of a needle in the hay, but it's a start.

RE: I am just not understanding how to make a web service.
In my experience CF has not returned cookies to web service calls-- at least when calling them from cfhttp that is. If you can't get createObject or cfinvoke to work, you can check out this post which shows you how to collect and return cookies manually if you are consuming a web service with CFML that requires cookies to manage session persistence. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/725-Maintaining-Sessions-Across-Multiple-ColdFusion-CFHttp-Requests.htm http://www.bennadel.com/projects/cfhttp-session.htm ~Brad Original Message Subject: Re: I am just not understanding how to make a web service.

Re: Adult ColdFusion Websites
Yes, we do, provided the site meets our TOS (the content is legal in your jurisdiction and also in California, and in Australia, and doesn't breach copyrights of others.)(We campaign for musician's and songwriters royalty rights, so we cant have any of our clients joining the 'other side'.) Most web hosting companies have problems with adult sites, because they are prone to several problems that impact the rest of the system: [A] Huge volumes that take bandwidth from other users [B] Constant attacks that bring with them risks to other users [C] copyright and other legal issues Believe it or not, few hosting companies are against adult sites for morality reasons, although I suspect there must be some. To accept an adult site into our system we would need to make sure we have adequately provided for the resources the site would require, and if it went outside the quotas allocated to it, we would need to provide more at additional cost. I guess a kind of 'probation period' if the site is new and doesn't have any prior statistics to work from.

CFMEDIAPLAYER Issues
We have upgraded to CF9 and I'm trying to use the CFMEDIAPLAYER rather than the Wimpy Wasp player we have been using on CF8 and earlier. However, it seems like CFMEDIAPLAYER has some major issues and limitations. In IE (versions 8, 7 and 6), for example, it ignores the hidetitle=true which does work in FireFox. It also doesn't seem to have the basic option of having a title image display when the player is off, or the more advanced options of making the control bar a rollover with the play button an overlay over the image/video or using the first frame of the video as title image (although it does display the first frame as a closing image). I'm hoping I'm missing something basic - it seems hard to belive that with ColdFusion part of Adobe it would have such a lame media player. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
