RE: Anyone else have the latest CFBuilder crashing constantly?
Cutting and pasting chews through memory very quickly, it was raised as a bug and Adobe just closed it straight away. Now that either means it is fixed or they are not going to fix it so let's see. But as I described to Adobe, I went from 77mb of heap space and after copying and pasting about 5 to 10 times from another file my heap space had grown out to 250mb before ColdFusion Builder then crashed. There are a lot of memory leaks with ColdFusion Builder, that just ends up chewing through memory way to fast. -Original Message- From: Roger Austin [mailto:raust...@nc.rr.com] Sent: Friday, 12 March 2010 2:51 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Anyone else have the latest CFBuilder crashing constantly? For me, CFB beta 3 has been unstable to a point where I went back to text editors to get work done. There is a problem when I cut and paste a lot. Every paste would set off something in CFB which seemed to need to time out before it came back to life. Also, there were problems when I would type a double quote and CFB would go numb on me for a while. I definitely had to watch the screen as I typed since I had no idea when it would go mental on me. I ended up turning off all the helpers in the system which turns it into a fancy text editor and allows me to get work done. I sure hope they fix all these problems before it goes into production. I assumed that there would be another beta, but that may not happen. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Anyone figured out how to get an image and description into a PDF

If I use the method setImage that is in the CF8 class the image is laid on

RE: Phantom Scheduled Tasks
Bryan,
You don't by any chance have a cfschedule tag in any of your code? Maybe
something is hitting code with a cfschedule tag to automatically recall the
page in 5 minutes.
That might explain why the second hit is always exactly 5 minutes after the
original call no matter what the time frame is.

Re: Phantom Scheduled Tasks
I saw the timestamp but was wondering if your code was _only_ creating
the files or if it was still calling the CFHTTP call _and_ creating
the files. In other words, is it the CFHTTP call that triggers it?
Regardless, if it's not your code, that 5 minute timeframe is freaky
and could be something internal to CF.
1. The updater notes for CF7 include a fix for scheduled tasks running
twice. Updater notes are never that detailed so this may be related to
that. Running the updater is at least an option if not already done.
2. If you've already updated and it's still occurring, I know updating
from CF7 is not an option but how about running an instance of Railo
and using it as a glorified scheduled task manager? It's free, open
source, and newer than CF7. And you wouldn't even have to change your
code as you'd be using it simply for your scheduled tasks.
At a minimum, you could run an instance of it to test if the same
behavior occurs through scheduled tasks created in Railo. That would
help you determine if it's internal to CF7 and its scheduled tasks.

Re: session variable timeout
Kinda and yes. Simply accessing the page within the timeout limit should maintain the session. Your code in the second question should be an adequate check of whether or not the session is active. All session variables inside the user's session would expire at the same time. StructKeyExists(session,loggedin) is more efficient than IsDefined(). -Mike Chabot On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Matthew Smith chedders...@gmail.com wrote: I think I know this, but want to verify.

RE: iText PDF signature
Thanks for the suggestions Paul. I dont see any setRender or setSignatureGraphic method. Are you on CF9? Maybe that is the difference. All I have is setImage and setImageScale. These lay an image behind the text in the signature. I did find that I can do setLayer2Text to blank and it will clear the type on top of the image. So maybe that is the route I will go.

Re: SOT: Default Flash behavior when crossdomain.xml is absent
Straws appreciated and accepted. I don't think that's the case though. I opened MS Fiddler and hit on of our pages myself. (All of the streaming content on our site uses the same dynamic page and the same SWF player. The SWF player is not located on the CDN). This is what Fiddler showed me: Request for www.mysite.com/thePage.cfm Request for www.mysite.com/player.swf Request for www.mycdn.com/crossdomain.xml (Returned 404) Request for www.mycdn.com/theFile.mp3 It defies logic. By all rights flash should have shut down the SWF and never allowed it to access the last file. Hmm, a bit more Googling, and apparently that isn't always necessarily the case. According to this knowledge base article, Flash differentiates between simply playing an MP3 and extracting data from it. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/963/50c96388.html This article appears to say that flash WILL allow an MP3 from another domain to be played, but will stop short of allowing you to extract data from it (like ID3 tags) without a crossdomain.xml file. Interesting... I'm not sure if that is affecting me or not. I'm using the JWPlayer and I'm pretty certain it doesn't do anything special to the MP3s. Well there you go, I've never tried loading MP3s specifically and didn't know there was a policy exception for them. And I have no idea what's in an MP3 that JWPlayer would read sometimes and not read other times. But can't you just go ahead and create a crossdomain file and avoid this problem altogether?

Have them both use the same database for user / auth lookups. That's the simplest, assuming that both servers can access at least one of the SQL Servers.

RE: null500 on nested custom tag
Lolcat :P Good thought about logging to an external file. On SQL 2k. The depth is unknown, it is usually 2-6 levels but theoretically could go way down. A fixed DB structure would make this a million times easier but also be virtually worthless for the application. And no, the cfif nParentCatID LT 1 shouldn't error out because it's with a loop over the query its referencing, so if it returns no records it's never run and just returns but up to the last nesting. -Original Message- From: Brad Wood [mailto:b...@bradwood.com] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 9:33 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: null500 on nested custom tag You should try a variable called lolcat. :) Seriously though, it sounds like an endless loop to me. If you check your server's coldfusion-out log you will probably see an out of memory exception. Put in some external logging to a text file or something to follow what is happening to your variables. Or use a counter in session to keep yourself from recursing more than 10 times so you can output debugging info in your page. Without really digging in to your code I can't really say where the problem is. It sounds like your issue is pretty straight forward-- you have a series of categories which are arranged in a hierarchy via your pivot table. Given a leaf node of your tree, you wish to climb until you reach the root node. I guess you're trying to make sure that none of your categories are orphaned with no active parents? Honestly, it might be a little simpler to write this using iteration, but don't let that keep you from recursive tags if that's what you like. As to whether or not you can do it in a single SQL statement-- maybe. If you are on SQL Server 2005 or later CTE's (common table expressions) allow recursion but I don't know that it would be any simpler. If your hierarchy of categories always has a known depth, you can just keep joining to your pivot table that many times. Other than that, you are out of luck using an adjacency list model. Nested sets are much better for calculating ancestors and descendants. One question: if your query returns no records, won't the line cfif nParentCatID LT 1 error trying to convert to a number? ~Brad - Original Message - From: Me Too must...@wabba.net To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:31 PM Subject: null500 on nested custom tag This is driving me nuts.

If it's the same domain you could store everything in a cookie instead of the database and have both CF and .Net look for the cookie for authentication info as well. -Original Message- From: Matthew [mailto:a.matthe...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 11:58 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Authenticating against .NET 2.0 website Hi all, I have managed to convince a client to go for ColdFusion as a solution amongst different option offered.

Thanks Jason, yes I thought of web service too, as I do not have access to the databse shouldn't they be the one creating the web service and I consuming it? Yes, they'd have to create that.

Fastest Hardware for ColdFusion 9?
We are looking to speed up our application layer as much as possible. We've pumped the DB up substantially and had great results. I realize there are network, load balancer, memcache, etc and other ways than the hardware to have impact, but we want to buy whatever will give us some gain. Unfortunately, we didn't notice with a dual quad core server a ton of impact in the past and didn't seem to be able to get the full utilization, so we just stayed with multiple servers instead of fewer, beefier servers. Will 64 bit and many cores be the best for CF 9? Or less cores at higher clock? Does more memory help much? How about SSD hard drives for local source code? I wouldn't expect that, but somebody seemed to suggest that somewhere. Does CF Enterprise make a big difference? Should we change the JVM to a faster one? What would that be?

onsessionstart not being called with j2ee session variables

Will 64 bit and many cores be the best for CF 9? Or less cores at higher clock? Does more memory help much? I would definitely recommend 64-bit. Not necessarily for reasons of pure performance (response time throughput) but because you'll be able to use memory better, and caching things in memory is one of the ways you can significantly improve application performance. As far as cores vs clock speed, this will be very application-dependent. In short, it depends on what your application does and how it does it. CF is multithreaded, so more cores is better than fewer cores, all other things being equal. How about SSD hard drives for local source code? I wouldn't expect that, but somebody seemed to suggest that somewhere. Unless your application does a lot of disk reads/writes (such as file uploads/downloads) this won't make much of a difference at all. Compiled CF files are cached in memory. Does CF Enterprise make a big difference? Not unless you're using a feature specific to Enterprise. There are a bunch of features in Enterprise that either don't exist in Standard, or are rate-limited in Standard. PDF generation, for example, exists in both but performs significantly better in Enterprise. Should we change the JVM to a faster one? What would that be? You should use the latest supported JVM for your version of CF, generally. That usually won't provide a speed increase, but will fix specific bugs in earlier JVMs. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Fastest Hardware for ColdFusion 9?
As Dave said - 64bit will give you the biggest boost. Mainly because you can setup massive memory allocations for the JVM. Our servers each have 8Gb of memory with 4Gb setup for the JVM. More cores the better is the mantra, but we run 4 and 8 core servers and really don't see much different between the two in performance. I'd stick with SCSI drives if you need a lot of read/write access. And yes certain JVM upgrades can boost the speed mainly because of the bugs in earlier versions cause object creation to be very slow. How much load is your application seeing? Hard configuration and scale will be affected by your applications load. Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.

Re: Fastest Hardware for ColdFusion 9?
Hardware is important, but tuning is going to be more important. You can throw 6 GB of ram at your application on a 64-bit JVM, but unless you tune your JVM and make changes to your application to use that memory, you won't see a dramatic increase in performance. Invest in profiling tools such as SeeFusion or FusionReactor to see where your performance bottlenecks are. If it is a database-heavy application, you may need to look at the execution plans of your queries and tune indexes. If you are running on Windows, set up a PerfMon session while load testing your application and see where your spikes are. CPU? Disk Access? Are you paging out to disk a lot? Talk to a company that does JVM tuning. There are some relatively simple things, like adjusting the different types of memory space and some much more esoteric things you can do like changing to a different garbage collector. There are also differences in speed between different CF versions and engines. One area that Railo beat the pants off of CF8 in was Object creation. If you are using an ORM that makes big arrays of objects for every query, that can be a definite bottleneck. CF9, however, made a lot of gains in the area of object creation performance. CF9 and Railo both have support for ehCache as a caching provider now as well, which you can take advantage of in your code. There is also a performance difference between using Lists and Arrays when dealing with large sets of data. Bottom line, I'd say, is buy good hardware. Get testing tools like SeeFusion or FusionReactor and then a load testing tool like Selenium. Start profiling your apps to see where the slow parts are, then concentrate on those and get advice that is more specific to the issue *your* app is having as they will almost certainly be different than the issues that *my* app might be having.

Re: session variable timeout
The timer is reset when the session object is referenced, which happens on every page request. ColdFusion touches the session object on every ColdFusion page request, even if you don't specifically do this in your code. The session timer is not reset if you access file types that aren't served by CF, such as HTML files. There are some hidden functions which allow you to list out every session for every user within the application, not just the current session for the current user. So you could see, for example, that there are 20 active sessions on your server and you can see details about each session. One side effect of making use of this unofficial ability is that all the timers for all the user session get reset when you list them out like this, simply because you touched every session in order to list them out. Below is a CFC function that you can ping every X minutes from inside of an Adobe Flex app in order to keep the session alive on the ColdFusion server. Notice how the function is empty, yet it does the job. cffunction name=keepSessionAlive access=remote output=no !--- Do nothing here --- /cffunction -Mike Chabot On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:43 PM, Matthew Smith chedders...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, just to clarify, does the count down restart with the load of application.cfm, or is it when a session variables is referenced?

Re: onsessionstart not being called with j2ee session variables
Nope. (I had done everything fresh except for actually deleting the jsessionid cookies, but removing all of my cookies didn't fix the issue) Any other things? We can put in some kludge code in onrequeststart() to look for the existence of one of the session variables and manually call onsesionstart() if they don't exist, but I'm not a huge fan of that.

Re: Development Apps - Does anyone use homesite still?
You might want to check out the Aptana Plugin. It's FTP client pretty decent. Seeing that CFBuilder is based on Aptana I will say it be a safe bet that they both use the same engine (the icons that they use are the same as well). I have read good things about the Aptana client on various CF blargs.

Re: using name of query in QofQ form custom tag
You need to do this: cfset myQuery = caller[attributes.query] / cfquery dbtype=query name=caller.#attributes.query# select * from myQuery /cfquery The first line pulls the query object from the caller scope down into the current variables scope where the QofQ can successfully dereference it. If you'd like to preserve the original query name (perhaps for nicer error messages), you can do it this way: cfset variables[attributes.query] = caller[attributes.query] / cfquery dbtype=query name=caller.#attributes.query# select * from #attributes.query# /cfquery Note also the addition of caller. in the name attribute of the CFQUERY tag, which you didn't explicit state you wanted, but judging from the code, I suspect is the case. cheers, barneyb On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Tony Bentley t...@tonybentley.com wrote: Okay here is what I am trying to do: tag:customtag query=testquery customtag: cfquery dbtype=query name=#attributes.query# select * from #attributes.query# /cfquery Obviously the name=#attributes.query# does not work.

Re: session variable timeout
Cool. Thank you. On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Mike Chabot mcha...@gmail.com wrote: The timer is reset when the session object is referenced, which happens on every page request. ColdFusion touches the session object on every ColdFusion page request, even if you don't specifically do this in your code. The session timer is not reset if you access file types that aren't served by CF, such as HTML files. There are some hidden functions which allow you to list out every session for every user within the application, not just the current session for the current user. So you could see, for example, that there are 20 active sessions on your server and you can see details about each session. One side effect of making use of this unofficial ability is that all the timers for all the user session get reset when you list them out like this, simply because you touched every session in order to list them out. Below is a CFC function that you can ping every X minutes from inside of an Adobe Flex app in order to keep the session alive on the ColdFusion server.

Re: Old CF doc needs to learn new Java tricks
Thanks for the note John - I didn't meant to imply that I was new to the AdWords API. I have been programming against it from CF for a long time, mostly using CFXML and CFHTTP (since CFINVOKE etc weren't around when we started writing this stuff). But with the total rewrite/rearchitecture for V2009 of the AdCenter API I'm weighing rewriting all of my stuff from scratch, or just interfacing to their Java client library and letting it do the heavy lifting in talking to their webservice. Especially since they haven't done a lot in the way of documenting what the actual SOAP requests look like. Have you upgraded your code to V2009? There's only 5 weeks left until V13 sunsets, so I gotta get rocking and rolling on this. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

This should be easy. How do I remove all text between table/table tags from a larger string? Thanks, Che ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Old CF doc needs to learn new Java tricks
Yes, I upgraded to v2009. Not too hard but I also was annoyed by lack of sample SOAP reqs and have told Google so.

I have been programming against it from CF for a long time, mostly using CFXML and CFHTTP (since CFINVOKE etc weren't around when we started writing this stuff). But with the total rewrite/rearchitecture for V2009 of the AdCenter API I'm weighing rewriting all of my stuff from scratch, or just interfacing to their Java client library and letting it do the heavy lifting in talking to their webservice. Especially since they haven't done a lot in the way of documenting what the actual SOAP requests look like. Have you upgraded your code to V2009? There's only 5 weeks left until V13 sunsets, so I gotta get rocking and rolling on this. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: JSON object error
Is the server call erroring? Use FireBug or MS Fiddler to capture the actual ajax request and confirm the status code and response body. ~Brad Original Message Subject: JSON object error From: sandeep saini sandeep00...@yahoo.com Date: Fri, March 12, 2010 3:22 pm To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com guys, I am getting following error when i access a CFC from Bind attribute of CFSELECT- Bind failed for select box,bind value is not a 2 D array or valid serialized query. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: JSON object error
When I use
http://127.0.0.1:8500/prototype/getData.cfc?method=rptDataidval=04;
in URL, I get following displayed in browser-
{\COLUMNS\:[\REPORT_NAME\],\DATA\:[[\AAA\],[\BBB\]]}
Looks like the JSON object is properly get created. Then not sure whats wrong

Re: JSON object error
Hello, you should return it as 'plain', and not as json (it 'double jsonencode'
it then)

RE: JSON object error
I think you are double encoding your JSON. You don't need to put
returnFormat=JSON in the component definition AND use the
SerializeJSON() function. Pick one. Your CFC is returning JSON- but it
is a JSON representation of a string that also just so happens to be a
JSON representation of your result set.

Should be able to do this:
REMatchNoCase('table[^]+/table', myString)

Re: JSON object error
Big thanks to Brad and Stephane. It did work properly now once I set format as Plain. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
