Re: CF builder installer?
Doug, I've reached out to Gavin to give him a copy of the installer (I have the Update 1 version of the Windows installer). It's 32-bit only (there was no 64-bit installer for CFBuilder 2).

Re: CF Builder 3 frustrates!!!
You can actually import your entire CFB2 workspace if you want (projects included). By default (and on Windows), CFB2 put the workspace in C:\Users\Username\Adobe ColdFusion Builder Workspace. You can point CFB3 to that same workspace if you want, or copy it into the one created by CFB3 (probably in a similar place). At least that worked with the Thunder Beta version I have. -Carl V. ~| 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:358587 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag
Rewrite the whole thing right now? No. I would progressively replace CF UI tags with clean JS frameworks or custom JS as you touch each section of your application. You'll find fewer and fewer people are using the CF UI tags and therefore less and less assistance available. And most of the CF UI tag problems people seek assistance with are directly related to shortcomings/bugs in said tags that will probably never be fixed by Adobe. Considering that the CF UI stuff is built on top of JS libraries that are several versions (and several years) old, you are far better off investing in implementing current versions of JS libraries yourself and reaping the benefits of the cumulative feature improvements/bug fixes of those libraries.

Re: DW versions that supported CF
Bruce, If you can make it through the first two weeks using CFBuilder, you probably won't look back at Dreamweaver (at least for ColdFusion coding). I was a long-time Dreamweaver user before switching to CFBuilder 2. After a couple of weeks, I never opened Dreamweaver again. And that was despite some of the little quirks of CFBuilder/Aptana. The CFBuilder 3 beta seemed to be pretty solid (Adobe ripped out Aptana and rewrote the HTML/JS/CSS/CFML parser, code insight, code completion stuff), and is much faster and free of the quirks that annoyed me. Plus you can add in any Eclipse plugins that are useful to you (I like the MXUnit and EGit plugins for Unit Testing and Git interactions, respectively). -Carl V.

Re: CFB3
John, I'm not going to use those top 3 new features either. But the performance is definitely vastly improved over CFB2 because they scrapped Apatana and rewrote the entire code insight/formatting parts for HTML/JS/CS/CFML.

Re: Default Values for Built-in Function Optional Parameters
Byron,
That's the problem with positional vs. named arguments on BIFs. I ran
into this with a cross-platform app that needed to run on ACF Railo.
Railo supports named parameters for some BIFs (including cachePut() ),
but ACF doesn't. So I had to split my caching function into separate
CFCs for ACF Railo. The line that runs cachePut() in ACF looks like this:
CachePut( id, val, , , myregion );
while the one for Railo looks like this:
CachePut( id:id, value:val, cacheName:myregion );
The empty strings for the two timeout arguments is acceptable on ACF.

Specifically I've created a caching region, and will just be using the

So I'd like to just do something similar to this:
CachePut(id=x, value=v, region='myregion');
This doesn't work of course. I also tried, argumentCollection without
success.
I'm assuming this is just the way life is and will have to do something to
just pass the region defaults.

Re: danger in increasing PostParameterLimit ?
Chris, I believe the danger involves the risk of the HashDOS issues that Pete elaborates on in his posts (which you cited). Is your application public-facing or intranet-only (behind a corporate firewall)? If public facing, then you have to weigh the potential for HashDOS vulnerability against the needs of the application. Where are all those parameters coming from? A single gigantic web form with more than 1,100 fields? A web service call? If it's a web form, can the application be rewritten to use multiple form sections (like walking through a multi-page wizard) and send the form data in pieces to the server (maybe adding each section's fields to a session variable until the last page is completed)? -Carl V.

Re: per application settings
Eric, I don't think ColdFusion mappings are involved when accessing files other than ColdFusion templates and components (.cfm and .cfc). If you look at the source of your web page in your browser, you'll probably see that the URLs are still /cup/images/image.png. The web server then prepends the server name when handling the request. You'll need to create a cup virtual directory for that host, and point it to where the mapping is pointing. If the only purpose of the mapping is for URLs to static resources, you don't even need the mapping at all. As a side note, is the application scope even available to make assignments before the onApplicationStart() function is called? Your application.cuproot variable may not even exist when the constructor is processing the cfset this.mappings... stuff (especially on first run of the application). HTH, -Carl V.

Re: Does Windows 7 include SMTP server?

Re: Best means of setting a library of reusable code
Rick, I don't know if this will help, but I've read about people creating proxy CFCs in or below the webroot specifically for AJAX requests. Those proxy CFCs either extend the protected CFCs (the ones outside the webroot) or have functions that call the protected CFCs through createObject() or other similar means (which breaks encapsulation, but I think that doing this was thought of as a justifiable exception to encapsulation). You would still need to create mappings to the CFCs that reside outside the webroot, but you likely would have to do that anyway if you use the same CFCs elsewhere in your application. -Carl V.

Re: ColdFusion 11?
While the tempo of software releases in the industry has increased, it has in many cases created a backlash. IT departments are struggling to keep up with installing updates to enterprise systems. Look at ColdFusion as an example. How many organization have bothered to upgrade to ColdFusion 10? I upgraded my department's server to CF 10 pretty soon after it was released, but our IT department only recently upgraded their CF server to CF 9 from CF 8 - and AFAIK they have no plans to upgrade to CF 10. Surveys others have taken across the CF community indicate very few organizations have upgraded to CF 10, and many are still on CF 7 and CF 8. Microsoft has significantly reduced the time between releases for SQL Server. Again, many organizations are way behind installing the new releases. I just upgraded my servers from SQL Server 2005 to 2008R2 within the past year, and 2012 was already available. Our IT department is still on SQL Server 2005, and I don't think they are planning on upgrading to any of the more recent releases any time soon.

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
Justin, With regard to a CFML engine running on .NET, New Atlanta has a BlueDragon .NET edition http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/index.cfm that does exactly that. -Carl V. On 3/12/2013 2:07 PM, Justin Scott wrote: For those of u on this list that have experience with both, can I please get your feedback on the Pros and Cons of going to the .NET framework from ColdFusion? Hi Dave, that will depend on what you're doing with it. I don't have anything against .NET and have done some coding with it. The biggest headache about .NET is that it's a fully object-oriented language and everything is based around that. It's a lot harder to throw something together quickly with .NET than it is with ColdFusion. If you're building large well-designed applications that will be OO from the beginning regardless of the language, then it's mostly a matter of syntax. .NET has a wealth of libraries behind it, but navigating that world is on-par with Java in complexity (strong typing, lots of long paths to method calls, etc.). CF is more akin to PHP in that regard. Not to get too far off-topic, but I'd be happy to see a project like OpenBD or Railo that created a CFML engine on top of .NET rather than Java so that we could just switch the engine out and say okay, we're doing .NET now, wink wink. If you're doing simple web applications, .NET may just get in the way and add time and complexity that isn't needed. If you're doing PDF generation, I haven't seen anything that beats the simplicity of CFDOCUMENT (though it has its limitations). So, as with anything in IT... it depends. But as has already been mentioned, switching platforms just because someone read an article in a magazine about something another company did is pretty short-sighted. -Justin ~| 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:354951 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Coldfusion 10 automatic updates not working
That's exactly what I was suggesting you do. After you set the ColdFusion service to run as your account, did you stop and restart the service? That is necessary for the Administrator permissions to be granted to the ColdFusion service. Then, after the updates are installed (assuming they do install successfully), switch the service back to the local system account and stop/restart it again. Since you are running as local service, is this your local development machine or your production server? Just curious. -Carl V. On 2/7/2013 2:40 PM, Jeff Carpenter wrote: I am not sure I follow.

Re: ColdFusion license
Pradeep, On the question of the license key: yes, you use the same license key on test and staging. I'm not aware of a way to limit the number of cores that ColdFusion has access to. If you virtualize your servers with VMWare vSphere, you can limit the number of cores each virtual machine can use, thereby limiting how many cores ColdFusion can use. I've not used the Windows HyperV, so I can't comment on whether it can be similarly configured.

CF10 Solr Searches using Addresses
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 cfindex to put the query results into the index (I put the address column into the body attribute of cfindex). 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.

Re: (ot) How compatible is SQLServer 2012 with SQL Server 2005 databases?
Mike, I think that each database has a setting for compatibility level (go to the Properties dialog for the database, then the Options tab, it's at the very top). As long as you leave this at SQL Server 2005 (90), you should be able to run the same database on 2012. I don't have SQL Server 2012 yet, but I do have 2008 R2. Here is an excerpt from the help docs for 2008 R2, under Alter Database Compatibility Level: For all installations of SQL Server 2008, the default compatibility level is 100. Databases created in SQL Server 2008 are set to this level unless the *model* database has a lower compatibility level. When a database is upgraded to SQL Server 2008 from any earlier version of SQL Server, the database retains its existing compatibility level if it is at least 80. Upgrading a database with a compatibility level below 80 sets the database to compatibility level 80. This applies to both system and user databases. Use ALTER DATABASE to change the compatibility level of the database. To view the current compatibility level of a database, query the *compatibility_level* column in the *sys.databases* catalog view. Using Compatibility Level for Backward Compatibility Compatibility level affects behaviors only for the specified database, not for the entire server. Compatibility level provides only partial backward compatibility with earlier versions of SQL Server. Use compatibility level as an interim migration aid to work around version differences in the behaviors that are controlled by the relevant compatibility-level setting. If existing SQL Server applications are affected by behavioral differences in SQL Server 2008, convert the application to work properly. Then use ALTER DATABASE to change the compatibility level to 100. The new compatibility setting for a database takes effect when the database is next made current (whether as the default database on login or on being specified in a USE statement). This is followed by a long table that explicitly states the differences in compatibility from previous versions. I'm assuming the docs for SQL Server 2012 would have something similar.

Re: CF10 on Win7
Russ, My experience with Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 and ColdFusion 9 Standard Edition has been that when a new site is added in IIS, **none** of the ColdFusion connectivity works without some intervention (and I'm not just talking about the CFIDE vdir). The only thing that has consistently made IIS and CF play nice has been to re-run WSCONFIG. Typically I will run WSCONFIG and remove the All Sites connection, restart IIS, then re-run WSCONFIG to re-add All Sites. I have occasionally just added the individual new sites as well. The point is, for me, that running WSCONFIG has been absolutely necessary to get new IIS web sites wired up properly.

Re: CF10 on Win7
Chad, Every IIS host that serves ColdFusion content needs the jakarta virtual directory. It sounds like you didn't rerun the web connector tool after you created your foo site. Run the web connector tool and connect ColdFusion to your foo site. This will add the jakarta virtual directory, and configure the IIS request handler. The reason http://foo/ worked is that IIS is falling back to the global CF wildcard handler to route the request through CF.

Re: CF10 on Win7
Chad, Yes, new websites added to IIS after running the connector tool do not automatically receive all of the necessary hooks to properly handle ColdFusion files. You have two options when re-running the connector tool: 1. Remove the all web sites connection and then re-add it. This may require multiple restarts of the connector tool and IIS. 2. Simply add the new sites individually in the connector tool. While the underpinnings of ColdFusion 10 are different from previous versions (Tomcat instead of JRun and different IIS connectors), I think this process of connecting IIS web sites is pretty similar. I seem to recall having the same issues when I added ColdFusion 9 web sites to IIS, especially on IIS7 (Windows 7) or IIS7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2). -Carl ~| 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:352421 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF10 on Win7
Russ, True, as I said, the underpinnings between CF9 and CF10 are different.

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 Scheduled Task
Dave, On my previous Win2K3 server, the only way I was able to get scheduled tasks to run properly was to allow anonymous access to the subfolder in the application which stored the scripts for scheduled tasks. This worked fine for several years on the old server. I was trying to do the same thing on the new Win2K8R2 server (IIS 7.5). The application requires NTLM authentication, but I haven't been able to get the scheduled tasks to run. Even when I hit the scheduled task pages directly in a browser (Firefox and Chrome), I am prompted to login with Active Directory credentials. I also tried turning the subfolder in question into a virtual application in IIS 7.5 but that didn't seem to make any difference. Anyway, as you indicate, it appears that under IIS 7.5 you can't open a security hole (my quotes) by allowing anonymous access to a subfolder in a site requiring authentication. So my workaround is to create a new site just for running scheduled tasks, and have that entire site allow anonymous authentication (thanks also to Russ who kinda suggested this). I am now able to get these scheduled tasks to run properly. Thank you Dave and Russ for your suggestions! -Carl On 8/10/2012 4:19 PM, Dave Watts wrote: OK.

If you're creating a user account for CF to use, why would you enable anonymous authentication? That's not going to help you any. First, I'd recommend that you don't even bother testing from CF yet. Test from Firefox or some other non-IE HTTP client (wget, etc). Second, I don't think you can set anonymous authentication for a folder, as such - it has to be a virtual server or a virtual application. I could be wrong about that, though.

Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 Scheduled Task
I have ColdFusion 10 running on Windows Server 2008R2, using IIS7.5 as web server. I have an intranet application configured to use Windows Authentication with NTLM, which works very well.

However, if I run the files from a web browser, even when logged in as a non-domain user, the .cfm files run without issue. I've checked the permissions on the subdirectory in question, and all of the relevant accounts (the Active Directory account CF runs under, the local account created for the application pool, and the built-in IUSR account) have permissions to read from that subdirectory.

ColdFusion 10 Administrator Javascript Errors
I just installed the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 10 on Windows Server 2008R2. I tried to do the install as close to the CF9 Server Lockdown Guide as possible, given that CF9 and CF10 have different underlying engines (CF9 is JRun and CF10 is Tomcat, in the Administrator CF9 used Java applets for file browsing and CF10 uses jQuery and JavaScript UI components). Anyway, things seem to be working fine for the most part, except that some of the ColdFusion Administrator functionality is broken for me. Any place that requires using the new jQuery file browser throws script errors. For example, when trying to specify an alternative JVM path, clicking Browse Server results in the error jQuery is undefined (see http://screencast.com/t/GQMZ1cdLJy ). Of course, jQuery.js is in the same folder as the offending script (jqueryeasing.js), so this makes no sense.

Re: ON-THE-FLY FILTERS
Larry, Might I suggest a little bit different approach? Instead of storing the whole WHERE clause in a session variable, store only the string you need to use for filtering. In your session definition code (likely onSessionStart() in Application.cfc): cfset session.F = Then modify your query: SELECT tblY.fldX FROM tblY WHERE 1=1 cfif len(trim(session.F)) AND tbly.fldA = cfqueryparam value=#session.F# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR /cfif This protects your SQL database from SQL injection (as Matt Q. alluded to). If you haven't changed session.F from the initial blank string, the query will return all records. If you update session.F to contain an actual value, then that string will be used to filter the records. HTH, Carl On 6/28/2012 8:29 AM, Stephens, Larry V wrote: CF8 SELECT tblY.fldX FROM tblY WHERE tblY.fldA='something'; That works okay. But I want to set the WHERE clause on-the-fly. So the user selects the filter (via a form) and the result is stored as cfset SESSION.F = WHERE tblY.fldA=' FORM.Result ' (where FORM.Result = something) Do a cfoutput to check SESSION.F and that shows WHERE tblY.fldA='something' All is well. So, my code is SELECT tblY.fldX FROM tblY #SESSION.F#; The problem is, it now displays as SELECT tblY.fldX FROM tblY WHERE tblY.fldA=something; And that throws an error. Why does SESSION.F display correctly in the cfoutput but CF8 changes the ' to when I use it in cfquery ? ~| 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:351757 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Maximum Post Variables
Paul, Take a look at the 9.0.2 release notes: http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/release-note/coldfusion-9-0-update-2.html The Maximum size of post data is for the size (in MB) of posting data and/or files in a post request, not the number of parameters allowed in a post request. You'll need to edit the neo-runtime.xml file per the release notes to increase the number of parameters allowed.

Also, be careful using var as a variable name. It is a reserved keyword in ColdFusion. As Scott mentioned, you can make a variable local to a function by calling it local.varname.

Re: CF9 no longer recognizes virtual directories on IIS after install of Apache
Dave, Have you checked the permissions on the folder the Virtual Directory points to?

I am pretty sure that the IIS virtual directories must be the problem. I can go into IIS and browse to the virtual directories and see all of the files in them but IIS does not seem to want to serve them up.

It may be more than a style preference. I'm not sure that No as a string value is always equivalent to a true/false boolean value.
