Re: cfm files bypass permissions -- htm files get 401 unauthorized

2012-10-25 Thread Byron Mann 

Yeah, I have experienced that in the past. Some of those scenarios can be
handled with virtual directories pointing to whatever folder and dummy
files in those folders.

Don't think I've done that since CF 7.

CF10 Solr Searches using Addresses

2012-10-25 Thread Carl Von Stetten 

I have a ColdFusion 10-based GIS application with a search form. One of 
the searches that can be performed is an address search. Address data is 
stored in an enterprise database that I can't alter, so I have to work 
with it the way it is.

Addresses are broken apart into six separate database columns, not 
counting the city, state or zip code.  Not every address uses every one 
of the six columns, but some use as many as five of them.

Anyway, the search form currently is rather cumbersome as users have to 
enter pieces of the address into different form fields.  It works, but 
as I said, it's cumbersome.

I decided to try to see if I could use Solr to do more intelligent 
address searches from one form field, ala Google or Yahoo maps.  I 
created a collection on my dev server.  I wrote a query that assembled 
the six pieces into a single address column, then used  to put 
the query results into the index (I put the address column into the body 
attribute of ).  Last, I wrote a simple one field form to 
perform the search.

This seems to work, but it pulls back a horrifically large amount of 
results of dubious match quality.  For example, a search using "1234 
Main St" (fictitious example address to protect the innocent) returned 
34,040 rows out of 123,000 address records.  The reason? It's finding 
matches to any single piece of the search string.

 From the ColdFusion docs, it looks like I might be able to tighten up 
the search results by prefixing each "piece" of the search criteria with 
a "+" character.  However, that will force exact matches (except when 
the street name is also the city name, such as Oakland Blvd in the city 
of Oakland), and I'd like to keep a little bit of "fuzzy" search 
capability for typos and such (like Google does).

Has anyone played around with parsing addresses and assembling an 
optimized Solr search?  I'm hoping to save some time on experimentation.

Thanks,
Carl V.

Re: cfm files bypass permissions -- htm files get 401 unauthorized

2012-10-25 Thread Russ Michaels 

unfortunately if you enable this option it will also break other things,
like cfchart, cfimage and tags where a pointer to a generated image file is
used because the pointer file (graphdata.cfm for example) doesn't really
exist. So if IIS checks the file exists before passing the request to cf,
it will give a 404 error.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Yes, that's exactly what the fix is -- telling IIS to check the file
exists before passing it to ColdFusion for processing.

I don't know how our apps with folder permissions have (apparently)
been trouble-free for years, but it looks like we've now fixed this
issue. Perhaps using HTTPS for this new app is what surfaced the
issue.

So ColdFusion was going around IIS, not because ColdFusion had
permission, but because IIS wasn't checking the .cfm file's existence
before passing it to ColdFusion.

Thanks Byron, and also Russ and others for the help.

Chris

Re: Multiple Application Files

I needed a solution for this exact problem.  I developed a set of web

services contain functions for, among other things, determining the current
school year and marking period based on the current date.

Re: cf eclipse projects and github

2012-10-25 Thread Steve 'Cutter' Blades 

I find that using separate workspaces helps with this. Having a 
workspace for a particular project, which may only include a few 
'projects', to break it all up gives some separation, and my eclipse 
loads and runs much faster.

RE: ColdFusion10 IIS7.5 and AKO SSO Authentication

2012-10-25 Thread DURETTE, STEVEN J 

Could it be because IIS just passes off cfm requests to ColdFusion? There was 
just a related thread where someone suggested that a setting be changed so that 
IIS verifies that the file is created, instead of having cf do it. That way 
maybe IIS would check the file existence then pass off to siteminder, then to 
cf.

Of course I've never used siteminder so I could be totally off here, I'm just 
trying to help you in the right direction.

you could use XML, WDDX, JSON, .ini file or how about you just have a CFC on

Thanks Russ again for your help. We ended up using a totally different method. 
Instead of CF calling the .net object it calls a powershell script instead.
Still a mystery why it wouldn't work though, very frustrating too
