Re: The long tail of ColdFusion fail
Dave is spot on. If ColdFusion were a complete self contained black box then the suggestion would be valid, but as it relies on an underlying OS, an HTTP server, DBMSs and more, it is the admin's job to manage and understand all of those (and more). The fact that CF deployment and development is easily achieved by less experienced individuals does not mean that less experienced admins should be trusted to keep the server secure. --- Ben (Sent from a handheld device) On Mar 26, 2014, at 10:17 AM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: What I mean is that Adobe recommands that CFIDE should be moved to a safer place, but, after several versions, CFIDE is still installed the same way. Of course it is. If It were somewhere else, you wouldn't be able to administer CF after an out-of-the-box install.

Re: The long tail of ColdFusion fail
Sure, the installer could make things simpler, and maybe should. But, that's a double edged sword, make things easier and admins will be even less likely to learn and manage what they really need to. At the end of the day, whether it is Windows or Apache or your mail server or CF or Java or Oracle or anything else, if you think you can run install and click Next a few times and then ignore a public facing server, you are asking for trouble, and have no one to blame but yourself when it happens. --- Ben (Sent from a handheld device) On Mar 26, 2014, at 10:54 AM, Claude Schnéegans schneeg...@internetique.com wrote: It's up to you to understand how web servers and web applications work, and set it up My point is that I'm pretty sure everything I've done by hand to move CFIDE/administrator and declare a virtual directory to some special web site could be done by the installer. ~| 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:358123 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF 10 on Mavericks AND Adobe download links not working
Ok, I'll bite ... I am running Windows 8.1 on my primary laptop, and now an app that I need no longer runs. Actually, I've been running Windows 8.x for about a year now, and a few apps that I need (including one really critical one) still don't run. But that's a choice I made, I could have stayed on Windows 7 (which is what Adobe actually recommended, for just this reason), but I wanted the newer OS and so I get to do without some of the apps I had before. I also updated my iPad to iOS7, and there is at least one app that used to work and now does not. Again, my OS update decision, my app consequences. There's a pattern here folks. If you update an OS that it is YOUR job to make sure that the apps you need will work. You are free to ask for app updates to support newer OSs, you can even make the case that those updates are critical, but if you updated your OS without checking, well, you can't really get mad at the software vendor for not doing something that they never claimed they would do. Bottom line: The CF team is working on ColdFusion 11 and 12. Going back to make changes to CF10 to support an OS that was released post CF10 is a business decision that they will have to make, one that will undoubtedly have resources and schedule implications on those CF11 and CF12 plans. If they decide that doing so is worthwhile then they will, and if not then not. --- Ben On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 11:42 AM, Scott Brady dsbr...@gmail.com wrote: We were getting a fairly generic Error processing your request with a number of links to the home page and to contact Adobe.

RE: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
Two things ... 1: It's not just CF. I am hearing from ASP and ASP.NET users who are also wanting to know why DW won't open their files and where their server behaviors have gone. I'm trying to get details from the DW team. 2: I have to disagree with the assertion that CF Builder missing from CC downloads means anything ominous. ColdFusion is not a CC service, so it makes no sense to include CF Builder. Now, if you want to discuss the pros and cons of including CF as a CC service, that'll be a great discussion to have.

Problem 3: I am trying to use the Subclipse plugin, but I simply can't figure it out. Does anyone know of a how to use Subclipse for dummies tutorial?

Short answer: It's not going to work reliably. Longer answer: You can request notification, but there is no guarantee that servers or clients will provide it. You may have more luck determining that the message was delivered to a specific mailbox on the server depending on the server used, but determining that the user actually got it and read it is close to impossible to do reliably. There are tricks and workarounds, like embedding web bugs, but even these are blocked by many clients (including Outlook) and are generally considered to be poor e-behavior.

CF=automatic, Java=stick-shift You can start with one and then learn the other, but stick-shift drivers can learn to drive automatic far easier than the reverse.

RE: So to flog the preverbial undead horse
This is not a CF issue as much as it is a don't be a one trick pony issue. Regardless of the language or product or technology you focus on, you absolutely need to also branch out and broaden your skills. And this is not a new issue, back in the 90's I wrote about how the best ColdFusion developers also had skills in other languages and technologies, and that broadening your repertoire would actually help you write better CF, too. Ideally you'd do this with related technologies, so that what you learn and use adds value to your current job and projects while also setting you up for future success, be it server-side Java (which is invaluable in CF project but which also has value outside of CF) or mastering client libraries like jQuery (again, useful with CF but also useful independent of CF), and so on. Bottom line, be it CF or ASP or PHP or anything else, your long time value in this industry requires that you keep adding to your skillset - if you are not broadening your skillset then you're gradually fading into obscurity. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Integration Developer [mailto:tyrsbl...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 11:05 AM To: cf-talk Subject: So to flog the preverbial undead horse I've been a CF developer for over 8 years. in that time I've seen I don't know how many threads on how CF is a dying language.

RE: How secure is RDS
Short answer, how secure RDS is or isn't is really not the issue. What is more important is that security fundamentals demand that you don't run anything not completely necessary on production boxes. Your HTTP server is necessary, remote access services (be it RDS or FTP or ...) are generally not necessary and therefore should not be running. Now on a development box, sure, go ahead, but on production boxes, nope, don't. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:br...@electricedgesystems.com] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2011 2:07 PM To: cf-talk Subject: How secure is RDS let's try that again... ;-) Hi All, Way back in the day I was told RDS was horribly insecure and I wrote it off and never looked back.

I do appreciate the assistance I have received from members of this group but overpriced goods squeeze the cynicism out of my pores. It seems defenders of Adobe's pricing like to compare the cost of CFB to tools used by carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. However, that comparison is invalid because there is only a small reduction of manufacturing costs as volume of real world tool sales increases. Margin does not necessarily increase as more units are sold. This is not true of software which, once developed, has only minute costs involved as more copies are sold. Margin increases rapidly and thus the software could be priced at one half the price and sales might double with margin remaining intact, increasing at a slower rate perhaps but increasing none the less. Oh well, they were told at Harvard that greed is good! Bill Gates set the standard and they all want to be him at the expense of their customers. Why settle for being millionaires when you can soak your customers and be billionaires. Another factor in Adobe's pricing is to discourage entry as much as possible. This approach has been used by AutoDesk since the 1990s and prevents a lot of architect wannabees carpenters from designing the buildings they build. With CFNL as simple as it is, every high school senior in the country might be jumping into data driven design.

One more note ... Do you have any control over table schemas?

Exactly. So, you have 4 columns that are for each certification.

Re: CF Blog software
There are indeed inherent risks and limitations with shared hosting. But there are solutions, including ones less expensive than dedicated hosting. Sandboxing is one option, although not an absolutely perfect one. The preferred option (these days) is the one Dave mentioned, visualization, where you get a dedicated isolated virtual instance without dedicated hardware. And we've made sure that ColdFusion licensing makes this a viable option.

RE: Memory Upgrade - Revisited
I know others have said this already, but it's worth reiterating. Database access is almost always an application bottleneck, especially for highly data-centric apps like the typical ColdFusion app. Microsoft Access *will* be a choke point for your app. A powerful new machine, lots of memory, 64bit OS and JVM, all are great, but they are wasted if you're going to be waiting for Access. Kind of like buying a brand new sports car, loaded, but then putting a two-stroke engine in it. As for migrating, Access to SQL Server is really easy, there is a wizard in Access that'll do it for you, and in my experience it usually works flawlessly. Cheaper options, like MySQL, will require more effort to migrate to, but still worth doing. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:h...@ilsweb.com] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 10:03 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Memory Upgrade - Revisited On 10/21/2010 6:42 AM, Steve LaBadie wrote: Just to be clear my assumptions are correct that I do not need to purchase the Enterprise version in order to utilize the memory? -Original Message- From: David McGraw [mailto:david.mcg...@gmail.com] There is something wrong with the idea of using such a beastly web-server with an Access DB backend, upgrade your DB while you are at it.

RE: Can't figure out a query to accomplish this...
SELECT MINUS is indeed supported by MySQL 4.1 and later. But, basically it is just an alternative for a subquery with a NOT IN. (Internal processing is actually different, and the subquery option may perform worse with larger data sets). So, the following 2 statements should do the same thing: select a, b, c from tablea minus select a, b, c from tableb select a, b, c from tablea where a, b, c not in (select a, b, c from tableb) In other words, you don't actually need SELECT MINUS. If you can't get it to work, use the subquery. And it looks like you tried just that in the first place. So I'd go back and just execute the subquery to make sure it returns what you expect. Then, if it does, try your outer query with a hardcoded list, to make sure it behaves as you'd expect. Then try it all put together again. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:ric...@whitestonemedia.com] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 4:51 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't figure out a query to accomplish this...

Yes, you can indeed install CF Enterprise in JE22 server configuration while CF7 and CF8 are installed, but there are some gotchas to consider. The CF service names are different, and the default HTTP ports are different, too. However, installing additional services (like the ODBC services) will likely overwrite the one you have already.

Default:http://www.cffaq.com/ Chinese:http://www.cffaq.com/index.cfm?language=cn Urdu: http://www.cffaq.com/index.cfm?language=ur Russian:http://www.cffaq.com/index.cfm?language=ru and so on. All data is stored in SQL Server in N data type fields. And UTF-8 is used for all CF pages. The rest just kinda works. All strings, and I do mean every single string, is in a massive externalized string table. And there is an entire admin interface for defining new strings, and then for translators to be presented with strings and to be able to save translations. Works beautifully!

For What's Its Worth. We have application requiring different languages dependent upon users login. In my situation I built an admin interface listing all phrases that needed to be translated. Translators login and post translated phrases. Action inserts to Db and writes a cfm file.

Whether it is a UUID created in ColdFusion or some other unique value...you KNOW what it is...every time, because you set it, not the DB.

What's the reason for using the db instead of CF to generate the UUID? To keep the load off CF? I was thinking I might use CF in the following manner to generate a UUID for a record: - Create UUID and variable to hold UUID via CF and cfset - User completes form with textual information and photo selection via cffile - Run insert query to create primary textual record, including inserting UUID - Run second insert query to create records in photo table for each cffile field mentioned above, inserting UUID for relational key to textual information After doing some reading in the MySQL 5 docs, it looks like I could use the LAST_INSERT_ID() function to return the auto-incrementing primary key of the main textual record of a property (Real Estate property), then run an insert query for the photo records on another table, using the LAST_INSERT_ID() as the relational key to the primary property table. - User completes form with primary record info and selects photos - Insert query runs creating primary property record - Run another query to retrieve LAST_INSERT_ID() (or just use that value as a variable, #LAST_INSERT_ID()# ???) - Run another query to insert photos into photo table using LAST_INSERT_ID as relational key Using LAST_INSERT_ID(), it seems that I could allow a single input form for two tables, property and property_photos, create a more user-friendly work flow, and avoid the messiness of UUID altogether.

I'll second this. Either use UUIDs or don't. In either case, I'd recommend that you use your database's ability to generate these instead of doing it from CF.

RE: CFC, YES OR NO
Hi, The answer is a definite yes, you need to learn how to use CFCs. In fact, just as in David Gassner's tutorials, in my own ColdFusion books I introduce CFCs very early, and make them very usable and without adding complexity. You are probably going to get quite a few responses to this message, and many may suggest that you adopt full blown frameworks and learn some object oriented basics. And while there is validity to those suggestions, you may want to start much simpler than that. If, initially, you do nothing more than tier your app so that all database access is via centralized CFC methods, and never in .cfm files directly, that alone will be a major step in the right direction. -- Ben -Original Message- From: Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 10:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFC, YES OR NO Hi: I am using CF for while now but I have no other programing background.

RE: Duplicates in Arrays or Lists
And in general, don't use lists for large amounts of data. A list with 15,000 elements is generally not a good idea at all. Remember, lists are not a true type (like arrays are, for example). A list is a string, and extracting values, or traversing the list, or manipulating it in any way, requires lots and lots of string parsing and processing for each operation. Lists are great in that they are how data comes back from HTML forms, and how SQL IN clauses accept data, and are therefore perfect for those situations.

RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey
Claude, To be brutally blunt, that's far too expensive an option. CF Studio (and HomeSite) are built in a language that is used for almost nothing else in the company, and keeping a team of Delphi developers on just for that product is hard to justify. Plus, the reality is that we've done nothing with that product in about 8 years, so the catch-up work that would be required would be immense. We discussed this at MAX in Chicago extensively, and the consensus seemed to be that a CF IDE needs to either be Eclipse based (aligned well with Flex Builder and more) or Dreamweaver based (or possibly both). There are actually quite a few options available to us, and many have been enumerated already here. The next step is to gather input and feedback to help determine which option to pursue. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 12:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey Why don't they simply continue to support and develop CF Studio ? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey
I am not sure that we have really definitive numbers. But, the last time we did some analysis, about 75% of CF servers were running on Windows, and the number of ColdFusion developers who developed on Windows was even higher than that, a lot higher. Having said that, multi-platform is indeed important, which is why we ask about platform in the survey. The best thing you guys can do to help us now is to get as many people as possible to fill the survey in. Getting responses from the cf-talk readers and frequent goog or MXNA readers is easy, but we also have a pretty good idea what those responses will be. If you have co-workers or usergroup members or others who can weigh in with their views, views we might not hear as often, that would be invaluable. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Mark Kruger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 3:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey I'm afraid I'd have to say that is not the case I would say that it is a significant majority. -Original Message- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 1:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey On Jan 7, 2008 11:42 AM, Andy Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Again...I would argue that the overwhelming majority of ColdFusion developers are Windows based.

RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey
Larry, Yep, there were lots of Macs. And in fact, the entire evangelism team use Macs, with only two exceptions (one of whom is yours truly). But keep in mind that CFUnited appeals to the high end ColdFusion developers, and the demographic present at that event is absolutely not indicative of the ColdFusion developer base in general. The very vocal high profile minority present at events like CFUnited and cfObjective and Scotch and WebDU, and subscribed to cf-talk and the like, are just that - very vocal, but definitely a minority. For example, and I know many here won't believe this, but among the greater CF community about half of developers use Dreamweaver for their ColdFusion development, and they like it, too! Oh, and when I visit customer sites I still find that most ColdFusion developers have yet to ever use a CFC. Seriously. We'd never ignore the hardcore dedicated user base that hangs around here, and the opinions shared here are taken very seriously. But, just keep in mind that there is a much bigger CF world than is present here.

RE: Select different records based on user input.
Do you want to OR or AND those fields? If OR, the SQL IN clause lets you specify a list if values, something like WHERE key IN (117,123,141). So, if #cb# is the field with the list you can do WHERE key IN (#cb#). If AND, then just loop through the list and AND conditions. -- Ben -Original Message- From: George Linderman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 9:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Select different records based on user input. Hey guys, I have a real simple problem here, but unfortunately, I can't seem to figure it out. I'm developing a site where there are different items that are listed, by using a loop on a database. Really simple stuff, just looping the row in the table with the different fields from the database. Anyway, my client wants to have a checkbox on every item (or record.) When the user wants to select a few of these items and look at only them, they'd check the items and press compare selected. Techincally, all this does is filter the SQL query with the records that have been selected. I immediately thought this would be a simple task. All I have to do is loop the id of each of the checkboxes so that each record's checkbox would have the value of the record's id. Then I'd submit the selected IDs to a processor page, which would take the form variable and put it in a query string towards the main page listing the items. Then the IDs would go into the WHERE part of the SELECT query, and it would be beautifully filtered. HOwever, my problem is that when there are more than one checkbox selected, the value of each is put in a comma delimited list. Hence, if they select items 117, 123, and 141--the form variable would be 117,123,141. When I put this into the WHERE part of the query, it doesnt let me. The only way for a WHERE to have more than one value is to use ANDs, which I can' do since the commas are preprogrammed. Not sure if that's understandable or clear, but basically, all I want to do is filter a query based on several checkboxes that the user will select.

RE: Coldfusion Consuming a .Net Control
Not really, ASP.NET is not part of the integration story. Another way to look at it, kinda, is that CF8 integrates with server side ..NET stuff, but not client side .NET stuff, like the ASP.NET UI controls. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 12:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Coldfusion Consuming a .Net Control So the .net code would then call whatever controls you wanted to use.

RE: Security Questions
If what they want is to separate ColdFusion from the web server, then sure, it is called distributed mode. While I am not sure I buy into the assumption that this is more secure, it will do exactly what they want. So, yes, CF can do, and has done it for years. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Christopher Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 1:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Security Questions Hi folks, I need some advice. One of our bigger clients has a handful of Java developers working for them who don't particularly like ColdFusion. While their initial complaints were that it wasn't open source and that you're tied to one particular company (thoughts which I quickly squashed), now they're whispering in the ear of the decision makers that Cold Fusion won't do Three Tiered Security. I just now think I remember asking the group about this once before, but it's probably worth talking about again. Their idea of the three tiered security model is that there's a web server, an application server, and a database server. The web server contains no code, no passwords, and can only communicate to the application server by virtue of the web server's IP address, and because the web server is the only machine that knows where the application server is. Sounds a bit like security through obscurity to me, but what do I know? Anyway, these Java developers are telling the decision makers at this client that ColdFusion just isn't secure because it can't do this three tiered security stuff, but Java can. So they're saying, why don't you just let us rewrite everything in Java for you? Well, while my little company has never run CF as anything but a windows service, using CF Standard. We figure that it's written in Java so we ought to be able to make CF run in this sort of three tiered environment too. So my questions are: * Are these developer's right? Is CF not capable of running this Three Tiered model, and are we less safe for it? * If in fact, CF *can* run in this Three Tiered model, will we need to upgrade to CF Enterprise to do it? * Lots of our code is proceedural, though we've been switching to using CFCs slowly (not really OO, but rather storing related queries, and functions in CFCs) * What arguments can we make to our client on this subject? * Can anyone point me to any articles or other materials online concerning this topic specific to CF? Thanks for any help guys and gals. I'm going to cross-this to CF-Talk, so I apologize in advance for any duplication I may cause.
