Re: Error calling a .net object
Its not necessarily saying the method doesn't exist, it is saying it doesn't exist with the arguments and/or argument TYPEs you are giving it. Look at the types in the dump of the method you mentioned and try to javacast() your values to match those types when passing them in. example: opendesign(javacast('string',thisfile), javacast('int',0)) ...assuming that it is actually expecting a simple string and int. If that doesn't work, try posting the method dump or (if you have it) a working.NET example of how it is used.

Iâm in the process of trying to access the methods of a .net component, at this point as a proof of concept. Once I can do something with it Iâll actually start building the app. I set up the object like this: cfset dll = ExpandPath('./com/Interop.CADXLib.dll') cfobject class=CADXLib.CadX type=.NET name=cadx assembly=#dll#â Thatâs in my application.cfc, in the onRequestStart() method. Then in my index.cfm I call: cfdump var=#cadx#â The object dumps just fine. I can see all the internal methods, including the one I need to get things going, the OpenDesign() method, which (in theory) opens a local file and reads the contents. So next I set the actual filename I want to access: cfset thisfile=1571269P01R01_ARTIOS.ARD cfset thispath=getDirectoryfromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath()) cfset thisfile=thispath thisfile This works, and outputting âthistfileâ gives me the correct path location. So now I call the actual method: cfset result=cadx.OpenDesign(thisfile,0) Thatâs where I get stuck. I get this error: Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the OpenDesign method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.

Re: how to check if a remote file exists
What is running on your w2k3 server? Is there a web server through which the source/txt file is accessible? If so, sure, cfhttp can go out and grab it over HTTP. Being a txt file, you wouldn't have to do anything fancy, just point CFHTTP to the txt URL and then read the resulting file content or even use the path and file attributes of CFHTTP to read and save the file at the same time. If there is no web server on the W2k3 server that holds the file, then your options change. If the two servers are on the same network, then you could run the CF service as an account that has access to reach the file over UNC then just use the UNC paths like you would normal paths in your cffile tag(s). If they are not on the same network (and you can¹t set them up that way), then there are many ways that you could have the w2k3 server ³send² the file to the other machine when it generates it. I believe you said there is a visual fox pro app on the w2k3 box. If you control that app and can change it, it is capable of POSTing a file to a URL (url being a page you setup on your CF server to accept a multipart/form-data post to upload the file). If you can¹t edit the VFP app, then you could install CURL on the W2k3 box and still do the same thing Have CURL post the file to a page you set up on your CF server. Your CURL command would be a one liner that you could either schedule with windows scheduler or you could set up a service on the w2k3 box to monitor changes to the txt file and trigger the POST automatically anytime it changes.

Then when your aggregation app runs, it just has to worry about content on your server. YMMV of course - I'm looking at it from the perspective of an application I worked on where the other server wasn't that reliable, and separating the grab files from the other server and process files helped troubleshooting tremendously. ~| 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:358255 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: onApplicationStart and cfmail, when doess server start?
The next thing that comes to mind is to parse the CF server.log file for the instance you are targeting. There are log entries for stopping and starting in there. But I¹m guessing you are wanting this to be used as an alert not post-portem investigation. There are plenty of infrastructure monitoring applications and 3rd party services out there for monitoring your production servers (including the services). My company uses PRTG for performance/service monitoring (http://www.paessler.com/prtg) to cover all of our different servers. Im mostly responsible for the health of our CF servers though and FusionReactor works great for me. If you set it up correctly, it can notify you of service availability changes. None of the above actual means that a server was ³rebooted² though and a CF service stopping/starting also doesn¹t mean that someone manually triggered it. Also, keep in mind that something running ON the server that is supposed to send you this email is probably not going to work if its running on the service you are trying to monitor.

It would seem you also think that Windows is not locked down by default, that may have been true once upon a time, but is no longer the case and hasn't been for many years.Certainly since Windows Server 2008, you must specifically choose which roles to install, everything is not installed by default, the firewall is also installed and enabled by default with only the basic required services allowed through and networking is also disabled. I guess you can interpret many years however you like, but the simple fact is, from the beginning and through the majority of the lifespan of Windows servers, this was not the default.

FusionReactor log archive stopped working
We have MANY servers all running the exact same setup All with fusion reactor installed. All of the FR logging and log archive settings are identical but one of them stopped archiving the logs for some reason. Instead of archiving, it just grows the active log file forever. Since it only purges archived logs, drive space is an issue. I tried to trigger the archival manually in FR Log Archive UI. It claimed success but showed 0mb for the archive sizes and the archive directory remains empty. I then set the log rotation to every 1 minute and watched the Log Archive UI do the same thing automatically every 1 minute Archives aren't created and live log files continue to grow.

If you can't seem to catch it, you can set up FusionReactor to send you notifications (that include the stack trace) when threads hit a certain time in their life span. You said you didn't think it was DB. How did you determine that? Does it mean you are using the FusionReactor JDBC wrapper on the datasource?

Re: Issue with Session scope
Your session is tied to the application. With a 10 second timeout, you are more than likely seeing the application timeout (which means all the sessions in it are gone too). You can prove this by changing the application name to something like #createUUID()# or #now()# and seeing if that is also changing when you experience your issue.

Re: Adding Salt and Password Hash to existing acocunts
In the example it was a hardcoded string for the salt. 'mySalt'. you'd just replace that with whatever you intend to use. I haven't used SHA512 this way. I only did it the way I did so there was an equivalent method in CF to generate the same hash. You'd have to play around with generating SHA512 hashes in TSQL and make sure you are also able to generate that same hash in CF (assuming you will be doing your hashing in CF at all before sending to the database). You can do as many iterations of the salt as you want I suppose. If I was going to hash multiple times, I'd salt them all.

I suggest adding a new bit flag column to the table and only update records that have that flag set to 0.

Re: Anyone using CFPDF/CFPDFFORM to deliver personalized PDFs?
It has been a very long time but a number of years ago, I did a college application in PDF format. The PDF was already defined by the college and the format couldn't change. What I did was go into the PDF and make all of the answer sections form fields. Then, obviously, created a web form to gather all the answers. Once the form was submitted, all of those answers were used to generate a PDF answer file. The two files together populated the PDF with all the answers.

CF8 AdminApi throws errors.

However, all requests of any methods within the datasource.cfc are throwing odd errors on the new servers. For instance, a simple list of datasources (which i know I can get with the service factory but this is happening with datasource delete and create attempts as well) This is the code (quite basic and known to work elsewhere) cfsetadminObj = createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.administrator) / cfset isLoggedin = adminObj.login(cfadminpassword) / cfif isLoggedin cfdump var=#createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.datasource).getDatasources() # / /cfif The error behind that one is: The error occurred in datasource.cfc: line 67 -1 : Unable to display error's location in a CFML template.

But I'm beating my head against the wall here... I've been developing locally in CFBuilder on Windows 7. When I installed CFBuilder I used the Built-In Webserver option rather than local IIS or Apache or something else. Things have been working fine - I could access my server at http://localhost:8300, set up databases, and do the typical things one would expect. I have a few different projects in the root server each in their own folder. However, this required browsing to http://localhost:8300/myProjectFolder but to simulate the production sites, this couldn't continue. I wanted to set it up so I could do http://myproject.dev or some variation but the problem is I can't quite figure out how, or at least how to do it correctly. In my local server aptly named LocalDev configuration from CFBuilder, I added a Virtual Host named myproject.dev, Host name, myproject.dev, Port 8300 (same as the server) over http and pointed at my document root which lives in the cf server root folder. I had a multi-instance install so the path is C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\myProject I then right clicked on my project PropertiesColdfusion Server Settings and selected my server with the virtual host. LocalDev-myproject.dev and see a Sample Url of http://myproject.dev:8300/ Now it looks like all systems go but when I try to browse there to a basic txt file right in the root http://myproject.dev:8300/readme.txt Chrome says Oops!

RE: Difference between cfcontent and cfheader in terms its usage?
as the names suggest, cfheader is for creating HTTP response headers and cfcontent is for sending mime encoded content (generally that of a file). cfcontent can set the mime content header but it's the only header it sets. http://cfdocs.org/cfheader http://cfdocs.org/cfcontent .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Java Keystore... why is it needed for valid certs?
At work, we have a number of 3rd party vendors that we post to with CFHTTP calls. Unless we add their certificate to the java keystore, the CFHTTP connections fail. It wasn't a big deal at first, but the more vendors we support, the more certificates I add... and the more often a certificate is expiring. It is to the point where I'm updating one certificate or another every month or two. My question is why do I have to add these certificates to the keystore at all? They validate fine in a browser (in fact, that is where I always get the x.50- certificate from... by exporting it through the browser). This is only an issue for vendors that we have to CFHTTP post to; I do not need to import certificates to support vendors with web services. Is there a better method that wouldn't require updating the keystore everytime a certificate is renewed? .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

They validate fine in a browser (in fact, that is where I always get the x.50- certificate from... by exporting it through the browser). The reason they validate fine in a browser is because browsers come with a pretty large set of root certificates. The JVM does not. My guess is you could import all of the root certificates from your browser into your JVM if you really wanted to, and not have to worry about anything for quite a while. Now, the fact that browsers come with so many trusted certificates is actually kind of a problem - when someone misuses a CA cert, it can be hard to ensure that the cert they fraudulently create isn't trusted by browsers by default. There isn't really a good universal revocation process.

RE: Best Practice question about database access between Dev and Production Servers
Generally, it is pretty bad practice to copy production data to any other network. You would most definitely not pass a SaaS 70 audit if they found that you were doing it. You would also not pass the same audit if they found that all of your developers had direct access to that data without going through permission granting hoops. That said, you may not have a need to worry about it if your data isnt really that sensitive in the first place. In which case, I think domain authentication would be the better way to govern the access. When people leave or contracts expire, the removal of their domain accounts would cover removing the DB access. Otherwise, you may find yourself managing the accounts individually for everything or changing the password every time someone leaves. Another option, which Russ mentioned, is scrubbing the data before copying it down to the dev network. Of course, you'd want to do that on the production network BEFORE copying it down to the other network. I have seen people do the scrubbing AFTER the move... which is kind of pointless. Just some things to think about. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

My question is not about how to implement this but rather whether this is bad practice. It would involve exposing the production database on the dev server (via a datasource mapping in the cfadmin). This would mean that any developer that is using our dev server (my concern is contractors..) would be able to write a query against the production database and potentially download sensitive data. How to people handle this type of risk? One idea I had was to not hardcode the database username/password in the CFadmin and instead prompt for it when accessing this specific tool through the web UI. Does that sound like a reasonable means of protecting the data in the production database from developers working on the development server? Anybody have better ideas?

RE: TOT - Forwarding port 80 to two machines with a home Router -- Linksys WRT54GL
The chances of bricking the router are pretty low. You'd pretty much have to lose power in the middle of the actual flash (doesn't mean it has never happened). I've installed DD-WRT on just about every linksys router I've had (including two WRT54GL routers). Currently, I'm running it on a WRT610N. Installing DD-WRT is the first thing I do to a new Cisco/Linksys home router when I take it out of the box. I think you'll much prefer the control it gives you over your equipment. Another option is to throw together a cheap linux box and install a firewall/router distro like ipcop, ipfire, brazilfw.. (and many others). You could also run a normal distro and use something like firewall builder to make it a firewall/router. The benefit of moving up to a linux distro from DD-WRT is even more control and the ability to install many different packages (like a proxy server) ipfire is an iptables based firewall distro (forked from ipcop and debian based)... it has a TON of addons all tested and ready to be installed right from the web interface. Add-ons list: http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/addons/start these distros are tiny and typically run on anything you have laying around. Some of them are small enough to fit on a single floppy disk and run entirely from RAM. So that's my linux firewall spiel. Cheers .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

So now I am looking at CFMAIL and in the past know it has been a bit dodgy. There is a conversation here about restarting the spooling service: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg342750.html And Ben Nadel talks about monitoring the undeliverable folder and how the spooler just occasionally stops working. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1893-Monitoring-The-ColdFusion-Mail-Server-With -GMail-And-A-Scheduled-Task.htm The comments attest to this being an issue for a lot of people.

I've been doing that one for years (and offered it as potential solution here a few times). Hiding it by CSS or JS is the key. Typically, I put the normal text field and some text next to it like dont fill in this field in a single div then use CSS and/or JS to hide it from real people.

The bot doesn't realize the field is hidden and puts something in it. Check the field when the form is submitted for the presence of a value in the field.

Here is a quick mod of the original. Just pass in the entire text block and it takes care of the rest. What it is doing is using rematch() to return an array of all email addresses that it finds in the given string. It then loops over that array of email addresses, replacing all occurrences in the given string, with the ascii encoded equivalent (the inner loop is what I sent last time). cfscript function disguiseEmails(str){ var emailArr = rematch(([[:alnum:]_\.\-]+@([[:alnum:]_\.\-]+\.)+(museum|travel|[[:alpha:]] {2,4})), str); var thisEmailAddr = ; var i = 1; var ii = 1; for (i=1; i = arraylen(emailArr); i++) { for (ii=1; ii = len(emailArr[i]); ii++) { thisEmailAddr = thisEmailAddr ## asc(mid(emailArr[i], ii, 1)); } str = replace(str, emailArr[i], thisEmailAddr, 'all'); } return str; } /cfscript .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

RE: Hiding email address from spiders
Yep. Definitely not 100% (nor are images .. especially if you want them linked). I'd imagine most bots aren't going to bother with either though. I'd have to agree that non-linked images of the email text is less likely to be deciphered by a bot than ascii equivalents. No doubt. In all honesty though, if someone submits some text to their own site that they know is going to be displayed and it has email addresses in it, they probably don't care much about the subject. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if spider don't already evaluate ascii. I stand by my statement that the most effective (though not elegant) is to replace addy's with images. The likelihood of a spider also doing character recognition is much less Carry on.

In which case ascii encoding would make them feel better about themselves because they don't know any better. ;-) .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

RE: MXUnit - Fail a success
Yeah, A couple of us were quite sure what I had should work and were surprised when it didn't.

What I want to add is a test that tests missing arguments. There are two arguments in my method and both are required so I wanted a test for passing no arguments. This is what I tried: try { local.result = instance.myService.meyMethod(); fail(); } catch(Application e) { } The above test passed. I THOUGHT the fail() was going to ensure that if anyone came along and made the arguments not required that the test would fail but the catch appears to be catching that as well... For instance, I tried this. try { local.result = 1; fail(); } catch(Application e) { } That test still passes... What I also thought was odd was that the exception type thrown by calling my method with no arguments was not the missingArgument type, it was application. I'm assuming that application type is simply catching whatever fail () is doing as well as my missing argument error and there for hitting the catch. Does anyone know a solution to make this work as expected? I am on CF 8.0.1 by the way and running mxUnit 2.0.3 Thanks. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
