RE: Hosting A to Z
Let me re-phrase the issue: I haven't stopped to examine what I routinely due with cfform - it's always been there and so I used it (So to (finally) answer you Caleb - should you use it? Sure. If you find that they aid your development then why not? If you feel more comfortable writing your own JavaScript (just to pick on cfform/cfdiv specifically) then use that instead. Ditto for any other feature. http://www.raymondcamden.com/index.cfm/2009/3/4/Ask-a-Jedi-New-to-ColdFusion-why-use-cfform-cfdiv-cftable ) My big issue (I think) is ColdFusion.AjaxSubmit. I've started using jQuery's ajax call in some instances but I'm struggling with how to submit a form and then work with a callback routine. I'm looking at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ but it's not jumping out at me. Can someone suggest a site or book that gives some examples? Of course, the other issue is all the pages that already have the CF code ... ~| 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:354505 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Hosting A to Z
just to break it down a bit further. People that know JS and use Jquery a lot generally wont bother using CFFOREM and CF's built in ajax stuff as they know they can do it much better themselves. The stuff built into CF is great for quick and dirty solutions if your a beginner or want to knock something out quick and not too concerned about how its done. There are however some plusses and minuses on each side. The code CF generates to do cf form validation for example is rather clunky and repetitive (not good code reuse), however it is only generating the code you need so in the grand scale, quite small, but does rely on the existence of the CFIDE folder. Using JQuery or similar would result in better code, and you could have the same set of code handle server side validation and client side (via ajax) and you don;t rely on CF or the CFIDE, but there will be much more code as you have the JQuery library to include for a start, so this may be overkill if your needs are simply and add unnecessary bloat and loading time to your page. A lot of people STILL do not even consider server side validation, which allows haxors to bypass all your client side validation by disabling JS and potentially hacking your forms, injecting malware/phishing code, XSS attacks etc. ~| 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:354507 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
jquery forms
Hi! Time-back-way-back, my favorite way to do client-side form validation was Adobe Spry. It was super-easy to do color-coded alerts on empty required fields, email format validation, etc. Nowadays, I know that can all be done with roll-your-own JQuery but I'm wondering if you have a favorite JQuery plugin / lib that'll handle it out of the box.

Re: Hosting A to Z
Has anyone found a replacement for client side validation that is even close to CFform in terms of comprehensiveness of data types it validates against? CFForm is pretty freakin exhaustive. I looked in earnest (within the last year or two) to find a replacement and have not seen anything that would come close to the completeness of datatypes it validates against. Any suggestions for a client side validation replacement? I am not a particularly big fan of pop up boxes nor CFForm itself, but it *is* a huge time saver in a crunch time. G!

RE: Problem with Hackers on Donation form through Authorize.net
I wonder if the hacker can still submit the form with JavaScript turned off? How would I go about determining just what the hacker's process is? At a base level they can copy your form page to their local server then manipulate the form submitting it to your cfc directly. I have seen people even write scripts to open the form page to obtain the server generated settings in the form and then repost them back with scripted manipulated fields.

Creating instances on CF 10
Hi, I am setting up a new server running Coldfusion 10. I have it all configured and have gone through (most of) the CF 10 Lockdown guide too - running Coldfusion as a specific user, etc. I've already done the mandatory update and all the hotfixes. We did a standard (standalone?) installation on Windows 2k8 R2, and we are running Apache 2.2 When I try to create a new instance, if I check Create Windows Server, the creation fails with a big ol ERROR icon but no specific details about why. Looking in the application.log, I see the following: Error,ajp-bio-8012-exec-2,02/14/13,12:48:15,cfadmin,An error occurred while trying to write to the file c:\out.log.It either does not exist or is not accessible due to permissions. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: ...\CFIDE\administrator\entman\processaddserver.cfm, line: 148 Now, I'm sure the reason for the error here is that the user Coldfusion is running as is not allowed to write to the C:\ folder. But.. why the HELL is Coldfusion even trying to write something there? I figure I have two possible solutions. #1 - give my coldfusion service account permissions to write to C:\ #2 - create C:\out.log and give my service account ownership of it And I suppose, report a bug?

We did a standard (standalone?) installation on Windows 2k8 R2, and we are running Apache 2.2 When I try to create a new instance, if I check Create Windows Server, the creation fails with a big ol ERROR icon but no specific details about why. Looking in the application.log, I see the following: Error,ajp-bio-8012-exec-2,02/14/13,12:48:15,cfadmin,An error occurred while trying to write to the file c:\out.log.It either does not exist or is not accessible due to permissions. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: ...\CFIDE\administrator\entman\processaddserver.cfm, line: 148 Now, I'm sure the reason for the error here is that the user Coldfusion is running as is not allowed to write to the C:\ folder. But.. why the HELL is Coldfusion even trying to write something there? I figure I have two possible solutions. #1 - give my coldfusion service account permissions to write to C:\ #2 - create C:\out.log and give my service account ownership of it And I suppose, report a bug? I believe this is already a known issue. You could temporarily run the instance as an administrator, when you need to create services for other instances. If this instance isn't being used to do anything but create other instances, this approach might be fine - just turn it off when you don't need it.

Re: Creating instances on CF 10
I am setting up a new server running Coldfusion 10. I have it all I believe this is already a known issue. You could temporarily run the instance as an administrator, when you need to create services for other instances. If this instance isn't being used to do anything but create other instances, this approach might be fine - just turn it off when you don't need it. What I did is create the out.log, which helped the instance creation process not to error. However, the service was not created and the out.log contained OpenSCManager failed with error status 5 Access is denied. So of course yeah, it can't create the windows service. I believe what I'll do here is just manually create the windows services (since I have to apply different jvm configs to each service anyway). Your idea of running the default instance as the regular SYSTEM account is a good one too - as long as we're not using that instance for anything else and we don't leave it running.

Yeap, I've developped my own client side validation system. At thet time CFFORM did not allow for messages other than in English. I use a home made attribute in any INPUT field, ie: INPUT CLASS=stdObl VALIDATE=Courriel;notnull();email() TYPE=text NAME=orgEmail VALUE=#getitem.orgEmail# SIZE=70 MAXLENGTH=150 in VALIDATE=Courriel;notnull();email() Courriel is the title of the field; notnull() means that the field is mandatory; and email() means the content of the field must be a valid email. I have more than 20 validation schemes, including comparison with another field value and uniquenesse of a value implying an Ajax request in the database, etc. But the most interesting thing is that I can add whatever I need whenever I need it. ~| 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:354522 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
CF 10 Multiple Instances Apache
What is the best practice here? I found a site which suggested proxying the requests to the CF server's port number like this... VirtualHost ... # proxy requests to tomcat on port 8500 ProxyPreserveHost on ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.cf[cm])(/.*)?$ http://localhost:8500/$1$2 /VirtualHost And I figure the other method would be to simply create separate instances of Apache, then I could use the wsconfig tool.

Which method is recommended? I don't see why you'd do the first approach on a single box. This approach is commonly used to let you separate your web and application tiers onto different boxes (often for security reasons). Historically, the wsconfig tool doesn't work all that well with Apache, so you'd typically have to do a bit of httpd.conf editing after the fact. I don't know if that's still the case, to be honest.

If you use jQuery, this plug-in is great and even hosted on MS CDN. http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ On 2/14/2013 9:10 AM, John M Bliss wrote: +1 to Gerald's question.

CFForm is pretty freakin exhaustive. I looked in earnest (within the last year or two) to find a replacement and have not seen anything that would come close to the completeness of datatypes it validates against. Any suggestions for a client side validation replacement? I am not a particularly big fan of pop up boxes nor CFForm itself, but it *is* a huge time saver in a crunch time. G!

People that know JS and use Jquery a lot generally wont bother using CFFOREM and CF's built in ajax stuff as they know they can do it much better themselves. The stuff built into CF is great for quick and dirty solutions if your a beginner or want to knock something out quick and not too concerned about how its done. There are however some plusses and minuses on each side. The code CF generates to do cf form validation for example is rather clunky and repetitive (not good code reuse), however it is only generating the code you need so in the grand scale, quite small, but does rely on the existence of the CFIDE folder. Using JQuery or similar would result in better code, and you could have the same set of code handle server side validation and client side (via ajax) and you don;t rely on CF or the CFIDE, but there will be much more code as you have the JQuery library to include for a start, so this may be overkill if your needs are simply and add unnecessary bloat and loading time to your page. A lot of people STILL do not even consider server side validation, which allows haxors to bypass all your client side validation by disabling JS and potentially hacking your forms, injecting malware/phishing code, XSS attacks etc. ~| 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:354526 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF 10 Multiple Instances Apache
There is a great iis module by helicon for railo on jetty, it runs java as a process for each website rather than a service, which means every single site is running an isolated instance not only of railo, but also of java.
