Re: Installing ColdFusion 9 search services, after the fact.
You've probably already done this, but is the solr setting in CFAdmin pointing to the correct path? If you are running a multi-instance/enterprise, you'll probably need to change the default path that's set there. We installed solr after-the-fact (did not install any CF search service), by downloading the solr installer from Adobe (see standalone installers here: http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html). Somewhere -- can't recall where -- I read about the default solr location path needing to be tweaked if running enterprise.

Re: Home Site+ and Windows 7
For some people, there's a lot not to like about Dreamweaver or CFBuilder...primarily that we already own paid for and licensed copies of Homesite+. Now, I'm one of the lucky ones who also owns Dreamweaver CS4 and CFBuilder, but, honestly, I can't get used to either of them...there are enough niggling little annoyances in both of them to have me going back to Homesite+. For example: Dreamweaver's code completion is broken. And by broken, I mean it isn't there. I want to type atag and have it automatically create /atag as soon as I type the last caret in the opening tag. It doesn't do that. CFBuilder insists that I work in projects. Sorry, CFBuilder and Eclipse, that's not how I work and stop trying to force me into a work paradigm that I don't like. So, yeah, there are those of us who prefer to use HomeSite+, just like there are people who still use vi. To those of you who aren't using Dreamweaver, CFBuilder, or Homesite+, what are you using and how does it work for CF development?

Re: Attributes scope in a cfc
What attributes scope? If you mean the structure variables.attributes that is created from the form and url scopes by some front controller frameworks, then no, since it's just a struct (not a scope). In general, however, referencing the environment from within a CFC is a bad idea. In nearly all cases you should be passing in everything you need. cheers, barneyb On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 12:00 PM, Matthew P.

Re: referencing #application.applicationname#
CFLOCK is only required to serialize access to prevent race conditions. For immutable state, no race conditions can arise, so locking is unneeded. Since application.applicationname is immutable, you don't need to lock access to it. In a more general sense, anything that is only accessed in a read-only and side effect-free fashion doesn't need to be locked. This is the reason that functional languages are so supremely suited to highly concurrent applications. With immutable state and side effect-free operations, the issue of concurrency basically vanishes from the programmer's mind. This purity of environment only works completely in academia, but a very close approximation can be created that is useful for real-world problems. Clojure (a JVM-based Lisp dialect) is an example of this, leveraging Actors to deal with concurrent modification problems without foisting the hassle of locking on the developer. cheers, barneyb On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 2:29 PM, Matthew P.

Matthew, The attributes scope belongs to the custom tags, can you elaborate some more on what you actually mean or are looking at doing then we maybe able to point you in the right direction from that.
