Re: Hosting.com, Your Experiences
if support and service is important to you then stick with a smaller company who charges more. Everyone knows the BIG hosting companies don't have the same level of support/service as they have 100 x more customers to support, so it is more customer per support person and the support staff are usually not that technical as they can;t afford to hire only gurus who are developers and tech support experts. Just an unfortunate fact of life i'm afraid, find a company that specialise in ColdFusion rather than a generic host. HostMySite used to get rave reviews, hosting.com don't. If your in the USA then I suggest http://www.edgewebhosting.net/ or if your in uk/europe try www.cfmxhosting.co.uk If you are looking for non scam host reviews try these 2 sites. http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/ http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/www.brownbook.net -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : ColdFusion hosting specialists www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342794 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Emailing Coldfusion Reports
Hi Guys - im sure this has been asked before but after hours of searching through books and google i cant find what im after. I have created an coldfusion report (.cfr) and set the output to PDF now when i browse to the report everything works perfectly. I want to be able to save that report to a folder on the server and then attach it to cfmail and send it to the client. We need to save the pdfs incase they need to be opened at a later date but we have a pretty big HDD so space wont be an issue. Ive tried using cfffile and cfdocument but i cant get it to save the report to the folder. If i can figure that out i will be able to attach it to the cfmail.

ColdFusion 9 install problem
Hi all, I've tried googling this and haven't had any luck. Here is the history. I had cf9 multiserver installed on my test laptop. Then I needed to upgrade from vista 64 to win7 64. So I uninstalled CF and jrun (along with a bunch of other stuff) and did the upgrade. Now when I try to install cf9 multiserver is grayed out with a message that jrun is installed on the system. I have searched and the jrun directory is gone, there are no registry entries I can find and no jrun service running. Any idea what I have to do to get cf9 to install multiserver?

CFC argument best practice question
Hello, Just a quick Best Practices question. I have a CFC, I call a method and pass a slew of arguments to it. Internally it calls a private method using argumentCollection=arguments. My question is, should I repeat the argument definitions on the private method? The arguments are available regardless of whether or not the private method has the actual argument definitions. What is the best practice here? Define the arguments or just use them knowing they are the same as the public method?

Re: CFC argument best practice question
Presumably your private method is being called by multiple methods. It is definitely much better - at least in terms of documentation - to have those arguments clearly defined. :-) If, however, multiple methods do not call that private method, then there is no need for the private method to exist.

Re: CFC argument best practice question
If you have a lot of arguments, one way to refactor that is to make a component that encompasses those arguments - essentially a bean, maybe a couple of beans if the arguments are unrelated. In your first public method, instantiate that bean with the arguments, then just pass that bean around. Follow that, and you've gone from just using components to actual object-oriented programming. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 10:06 AM, Brook Davies cft...@logiforms.com wrote: Hello, Just a quick Best Practices question.

For example: original file: somefile.mack.txt renamed file on server: somefile.mack Well, as Dave indicated, ColdFusion is not actually involved in the file upload. No matter that the parameter of the cffile... tag is called. The flow is: User picks file with client (i.e. browser) file form control. The user submits the request. The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request. It then sends the request to the web server (i.e. IIS, Apache, etc). The web server decrypts the file from the header to a temporary location. (C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion25\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion.war-tmp\neotmp4910092545170934955.tmp) for example. The web server then tells ColdFusion about the uploaded file and where it was.

Re: file upload - preventing double or more full stops in file name
Thanks guys. IAN this caught my attention: The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request I've been using fiddler to view the headers and see the data I want : 200 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=b_file; filename=C:\Documents and Settings\dsdfsd\Desktop\clean up\test.docupload.doc However I don't know how to access this via coldfusion. I've tried gethttprequestData but unfortunatley I think by that point my window of opportunity had past. somehow need to get at the request at an earlier stage.

For example: original file: somefile.mack.txt renamed file on server: somefile.mack Well, as Dave indicated, ColdFusion is not actually involved in the file upload. No matter that the parameter of the cffile... tag is called. The flow is: User picks file with client (i.e. browser) file form control. The user submits the request. The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request. It then sends the request to the web server (i.e. IIS, Apache, etc). The web server decrypts the file from the header to a temporary location. (C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion25\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion. war-tmp\neotmp4910092545170934955.tmp) for example. The web server then tells ColdFusion about the uploaded file and where it was.

Re: file upload - preventing double or more full stops in file name
William, Ah I get you. since the extension will be cut off and placed within another variable all I would have to do post file upload is search the server.filename for a(.). Easy. Cheers. Please have a look at this post: http://www.williamoncoldfusion. com/index.php/knowledgebase/file-uploading If you are referring to the cffile.serverfilename key that is available after the cffile upload command, that brings back somefile. mack, the extension is in a different key off of cffile of serverfileext. checkout this page as well: http://livedocs.adobe. com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_f_10.html -- William E.

I need this to happen before I process it via CFFILE. Right now the form data posts back in a cfdump var=#form. b_original_form_filefield# as: C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion25\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion. war-tmp\neotmp4910092545170934955.tmp which is sort of useless for my needs. Is there a workaround? Why do you need to do this before you process it with CFFILE? All that happens when you use CFFILE ACTION=UPLOAD is that CF writes the file to a specified location on the filesystem. The file has already been received by the web server, and stored in a temporary file location. So, write the file to the filesystem in one place, then move it somewhere else with a subsequent CFFILE if you really want to.

Do note that cffile.clientFile is the full file name, cffile.clientFileName is the file name with the extension (i.e. the part after the list 'full stop' as you call it) stripped off. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342821 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: JVM help!
So here is what we ended up with.
java.args=-server -Xms4096m -Xmx8192m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=15
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=15 -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch
We tried making max and min perm size the same, but for some reason, it
really didn't like it.
This set up has worked well for 2 + weeks, and now we seem to be at a happy
point where the norm is requests under 500ms, with a select few taking 2
seconds.
Thanks for all the help.

Regards, Carl.
Hi everyone,
thanks for all the good feedback.
Let me first tell you WHY I think its a JVM issue, then show you what
results I have had.
We took the exact same code, and connected it to the exact same DB
(and DB
server) and ran the exact same code in isolation. The comparison was
outstanding about 2s on the old machine and 10s as you have seen on
the new.
The connection between the SQL and both web machines pinged at 1ms
We tried the connection from various locations and ruled out network
issues
(although there could be ). We looked at execution times and logged
the
information pretty heavily in the intensive parts of the app and saw
that,
on comparison between machines the differences. Given that, and the
isolation tests, the only thing we could see that was different was
the JVM
settings, thus the conclusion we came too.
so having taken some of the suggestions into account I have ended up
with
this setting:
java.args=-server -Xms4096m -Xmx8192m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-XX:PermSize=1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=15
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=15 -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch
-Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/
-Djava.security.policy={application.
home}/
servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/coldfusion.
policy
-Djava.security.auth.policy={application.
home
}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo_jaas.
policy
This puts us at an execution time parallel to the old 32 bit machine,
down
at 1.5-2 seconds. while this is a vast improvement I would hope that
more
gains could be had out of tuning the JVM some more. I will tweak the
GCinterval and the permSize tomorrow night and see if there is an
incremental gain to be had.
Any other suggestions would be great!
Thanks.

CF 9 Standard Load Bal Sticky Sessions
Hi, I am trying to setup a failover environment for my web application. We are using CF9 standard and LVS (Linux Virtual Server) as the load balancer (LB). My web application uses session variables to remember form values posted in a process (eg would work like a session web shopping cart). The issue is the session values are lost when the LB processes the request as it flips between the different servers between each request. Is it possible to setup sticky sessions so that the session variables are retained across the web session? I'm concerned the only way to do this is to update the application to client variables and store in the database etc. Any thoughts or recommendations appreciated.
