Another quick update to CFJS
Hey folks, I've made another quick update to the DateFormat function in CFJS. You can read about it on my blog if you like (http://cjordan.us/index.cfm/CFJS). It's at version 1.1.12, and as always is available from http://cfjs.riaforge.org. Cheers! Chris ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Inspecting a digital certificate (programmatically)
Hi folks, I've got the need to programmatically inspect a digital certificate for certain things (has it been revoked, has it expired, who is the issuer, etc.), but I don't know how to get a handle on the certificate in order to check these things. I've been googling and trying various things for a couple of days now, but I'm not really getting anywhere. The best I've come up with is that I may need to use classes in java.security.cert, but I don't know how to use them. I've looked up the docs on them, but they're not helping too much. Has anyone ever had to do this? How does one go about downloading a digital certificate in order to inspect it? I kinda thought that if I did a cfhttp GET request, that I might get the certificate back to verify amongst the variables returned by cfhttp, but that didn't appear to be the case. I'm really, really stuck and could use any help I can get. :o( Thanks, Chris ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
I'd like to hit the list up again on this subject if I could. Ezra helped me immensley, but I'm still having trouble. First, just so Ezra knows, this authHeader business you gave me worked just fine. I'm authenticating and am able to call methods. BUT, it's not working like I expected -- or even like the getIPAddress() example earlier in this thread. I take for my example another relatively simple method call: getYears(). This method takes exactly one argument: a string representing the CountryCode (U = United States, C = Canada, B = Both). Now the C# example shows something like: ws.getYears(U) Wouldn't it be lovely if that's all *I* had to do, too? But no. When I look up the Years element in the WSDL I find: s:element name=Years s:complexType s:sequence s:element minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 name=sCountryCode type=s:string/ /s:sequence /s:complexType /s:element It's a complex type. Well, thanks to Ezra I know that this means a CF structure. So I create a structure with a member called 'sCountryCode' and I set it to U. So my code becomes: cfscript wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;; portname = UsedCarWS1; portname = UsedCarWS; ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname); authHeader = xmlNew(); authHeader.UserCredentials = xmlElemNew(authHeader, http://localhost/webservices/UsedCarWS;, UserCredentials); // authHeader stuff here... ommitted for space... args = structNew(); args.sCountryCode = U; response = ws.getYears(args); /cfscript cfdump var=#response# So, response is now an object of type localhost.webservices.UsedCarWS.YearsResponse that contains several functions. Just like in the getIPAddress() example there was a method that required no arguments that allowed me to get the returned data. In this case it's called getYearsResult(). Here comes the problem. When I run getYearsResult(), instead of getting back some sort of data structure with all of the available years in it, I get another object with methods like: equals(java.lang.Object) getDeserializer(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, javax.xml.namespace.QName) getSerializer(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, javax.xml.namespace.QName) getTypeDesc() get_any() hashCode() set_any(org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement[]) This confuses me even more. I have verified with the web service provider that I am authenticting correctly and that the function is getting called. I can't tell what data is coming back, but it is running and wouldn't do so if I didn't authenticate correctly, so that's not the issue. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong (other than trying to consume a SOAP based web service)? This is obviously much, much easier in a .NET environment.

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
Ezra, that was the missing piece to my puzzle! It worked just like you said!
I think the only thing I need to work out now is how to authenticate so that
I can run the protected functions in UsedCarWS (as opposed to
UsedCarWSSoap12). If you have any insight on that I'd welcome it!
I owe you a beer Ezra! THANK YOU!!

Hi Chris,
I have been following this thread out of curiosity, and I think I
might be able to help in pointing you in the right direction.
The key bit here is the fact that the getIPAddress method has an input
parameter, identified in the dump of the stub as:
localhost.webservices.UsedCarWS.IPAddress
In the WSDL, this is defined as:
s:element name=IPAddress
s:complexType/
/s:element
So it's a complex type, but has no child elements, which corresponds
to an empty CF structure. Therefore, if you change your code snippet
to:
cfscript
wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;;
portname = UsedCarWSSoap12;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname);
ip = StructNew();
/cfscript
cfdump var = #ws#
cfdump var = #ws.getIPAddress(ip)#
The second dump will display the object returned by the method call,
which in turn has a getIPAddressResult() method that returns the IP of
the CF server calling the web service:
cfscript
wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;;
portname = UsedCarWSSoap12;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname);
ip = StructNew();
response = ws.getIPAddress(ip);
/cfscript
cfdump var = #response.getIPAddressResult()#
Hope that helps.

Brad,
I tried passing the authentication stuff via the addSOAPRequestHeader,
but
there's something else going on here.
What I've learned in the last couple of hours is that when using
CreateObject to call a web service you can pass it a portname. I know
from
looking at the wsdl itself, that there are several portnames associated
with
this particular web service.
The author of the web service suggested that I start by using the
getIPAddress() method as it requires NO AUTHENTICATION. So I do this:
cfscript
wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;;
portname = UsedCarWSSoap12;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname);
/cfscript
cfdump var = #ws#
cfdump var = #ws.getIPAddress()#
Try the code above. You'll see that dumping ws *does indeed* show you the
available methods. There is exactly one available method: getIPAddress().
I've verified this also using SOAPUI (http://www.soapui.org/).
when I run the code above the last dump statement causes the error:
*Web service operation getIPAddress with parameters *{}* cannot be
found.*
So, as an experiment I searched the web for some other free soap web
service
that wouldn't require some sort of login. I found geocoder.us (
http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoderPHP.wsdl). I looked at some
sample php code, and could easily see how it translated over to
ColdFusion.
My code became:
cfscript
address = 1600 Pennsylvania Av, Washington, DC;
wsurl = http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoderPHP.wsdl;;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl);
//I found the geocode_address() method by looking at the dump
//of the ws object returned by the previous line...
geo = ws.geocode_address(address);
/cfscript
cfdump var = #ws#
cfdump var = #geo[1].getLat()# , #geo[1].get_long()#
This web service worked like a champ for me! :o) So, I'm not sure what's
up
with the other one.
As far as the dumping thing goes, I will admit that there are a few
things
I'm not seeing, like the UserCredentials thing (which is a complexType...
maybe that has something to do with it).
You're right that the Stub functions in the parent class have nothing to
do
with the web service itself. Those are functions that CF uses under the
hood
I think to deal with the web services... I think.
Anyway, I'm still stumped as to why my example using geocoder.us worked
while my very similar example with blackbookusa.com isn't working...
I've contacted the developer at blackbook, but probably won't hear from
him
until Monday. I would love to figure this out this weekend if I could.
Thanks for sticking with me and for continuing to offer suggestions. :o)

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
I've kind of solved my problem with the following xPath selector in my xPathString: cfset YearNodes = XmlSearch(xmlData,//*[local-name()='year']/)/ This allows me to reference YearNodes[i].XmlText which contains the actual string of data that I want. This seems kinda hokey to me though. I'd like to just get back an array of years (2010,2009,2008,... etc.) Also, I'm not too pleased that it seems so damned difficult to do it the easy way by letting CF do all the soap stuff for me with CreateObject(webservice, https://blah.com/blah.aspx?wsdl;).

Brad, The problem is that the methods made available by the web service ( https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL) are not what I get back when I do: ws = CreateObject(webservice, https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;); so instead of getting functions like: getAllProvinces getAllStates applyCanadianAdjustments applyUSAdjustments getStyles getColors (just to name a few...) I get: _createCall() _getCall() _getProperty(java.lang.String) _getPropertyNames() _getService() _setProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) addAttachment(java.lang.Object) clearAttachments() clearHeaders() extractAttachments(org.apache.axis.client.Call) getAttachments() none of which the developer of the web service recognizes (I've called him and spoke with him).

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
John, The stub methods I'm referring to are part of apache Axis which are part of some parent class that get's created when I do: ws = CreateObject(webservice, https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;, UsedCarWS); I'm passing the portname UsedCarWS now whereas I wasn't before and so CF was just getting the first available one for me. Even still I cannot call any of the methods that this object contains except for the stub methods which are part of org.apache.axis.client.Stub class. Try the above line of code yourself, you'll see what I'm talking about. Another thing I can't figure out about any of this is where I'm supposed to authenticate. When creating the soap request by hand, it's done in the soap:Header of the soap:Envelope. I'm still confused.

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
Brad,
I tried passing the authentication stuff via the addSOAPRequestHeader, but
there's something else going on here.
What I've learned in the last couple of hours is that when using
CreateObject to call a web service you can pass it a portname. I know from
looking at the wsdl itself, that there are several portnames associated with
this particular web service.
The author of the web service suggested that I start by using the
getIPAddress() method as it requires NO AUTHENTICATION. So I do this:
cfscript
wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;;
portname = UsedCarWSSoap12;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname);
/cfscript
cfdump var = #ws#
cfdump var = #ws.getIPAddress()#
Try the code above. You'll see that dumping ws *does indeed* show you the
available methods. There is exactly one available method: getIPAddress().
I've verified this also using SOAPUI (http://www.soapui.org/).
when I run the code above the last dump statement causes the error:
*Web service operation getIPAddress with parameters *{}* cannot be found.*
So, as an experiment I searched the web for some other free soap web service
that wouldn't require some sort of login. I found geocoder.us (
http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoderPHP.wsdl). I looked at some
sample php code, and could easily see how it translated over to ColdFusion.
My code became:
cfscript
address = 1600 Pennsylvania Av, Washington, DC;
wsurl = http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoderPHP.wsdl;;
ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl);
//I found the geocode_address() method by looking at the dump
//of the ws object returned by the previous line...
geo = ws.geocode_address(address);
/cfscript
cfdump var = #ws#
cfdump var = #geo[1].getLat()# , #geo[1].get_long()#
This web service worked like a champ for me! :o) So, I'm not sure what's up
with the other one.
As far as the dumping thing goes, I will admit that there are a few things
I'm not seeing, like the UserCredentials thing (which is a complexType...
maybe that has something to do with it).
You're right that the Stub functions in the parent class have nothing to do
with the web service itself. Those are functions that CF uses under the hood
I think to deal with the web services... I think.
Anyway, I'm still stumped as to why my example using geocoder.us worked
while my very similar example with blackbookusa.com isn't working...
I've contacted the developer at blackbook, but probably won't hear from him
until Monday. I would love to figure this out this weekend if I could.
Thanks for sticking with me and for continuing to offer suggestions. :o)

A web service is not like a CFC where you can cfdump it out and get all the

The actual methods you can call are documented in the WSDL itself. I
glanced through it and holy cow it is long. Didn't the web service vendor
provide some documentation on calling it?
I must say I've never really passed authentication info via the header
before. Chances are, you will need to use the AddSOAPRequestHeader
function
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_a-b_03.html)
I would try to fool around and get a working example, but I'm not too good
at deciphering WSDL's and I don't have a username/pass anyway.

Re: ColdFusion Components: Setting dynamic arguments dynamically
Scott don't know if this is what you're looking for but you can do this at
the top of your cffunction:
cffunction name=somename returntype=somereturntype
cfscript
var my = structNew(); // or var my = {}; if you're running cf8
for(my.key in arguments){
my.#my.key# = arguments[my.key];
}
/cfscript
/cffunction
Doing this would do a deep copy of your arguments struct into your local
*var'd* variable my. Using this method, you wouldn't need to use
cfargument at all though it can make handling argument defaults a bit of a
pain, but no less doable.
Is this the kind of thing you were looking for?

I've responded to your message in-line below: Chris Jordan wrote: I'd love to test it. I have a couple of questions first though. Does the download contain everything I need? Or are there prerequisites that I would need to have installed first. For instance it seemed to me that your wording indicated that it expects Apache to already be installed and running. The installer contains Tomcat, OpenBD, and a JRE. That's enough to run a server if you don't want to run Apache. Tomcat will run on port 8080 by default though, so extra configuration will be required if you want to run a production server run on port 80 without Apache. If you don't have Apache installed, just say No when it asks you if you want it to install the Apache adapter for you (mod_jk). If you *DO* have Apache installed, it will prompt you for the locations of certain files (config file, etc), but you should be able to use the defaults if you're installing on CentOS 5. The default locations work perfectly on CentOS 4 and 5. The script itself uses basic shell script commands - all of which should be present on even a minimal Linux install. Secondly, what existing files does it change? My CentOS 5 box runs Apache and is doing lots of virtual host stuff. Will this script overwrite any settings having to do with my current Apache settings? Does the installer assume that I'm setting up a brand new box or does it take into account that Theoretically, it should be okay to install on a production box, but this is *only* based on the testing that I've done personally. That's why I'm hoping to get more folks to take a look at it - so I can address any problems that the public finds. However, internally, everything went just fine when I tested it. Even so, you'll probably want to backup your httpd.conf file just to be on the safe side. The installer copies the mod_jk.so file to the Apache modules directory, then appends the connector configuration information to the Apache config file. It also attempts to restart Apache so that the configuration takes effect right away - very similar to how CF7 and CF8 do it. If you run the uninstaller, I used sed to do a pattern match and remove the lines that get added to the Apache config during the install. In my tests, the uninstall process ignored any VirtualHosts I had added after the install and simply removed the mod_jk config and CFM mappings. If you choose to have the installer configure OpenBD to start at boot time, the installer will copy the OpenBD start script to your /etc/init.d/ directory, and use the chkconfig program to set Tomcat/OpenBD to start on system boot. Those should be the only things the script modifies outside the actual install location. (/opt/openbd/ by default) I may be installing OpenBD onto an existing web server that is currently hosting pages that use other server side languages like PHP? Basically, I want to be sure that I'm not going to bring down the functionality of my existing server by adding this. Again, I would be careful about installing on a production box, but in theory it should be fine. In my tests, PHP files were unaffected by the installation and continued to run flawlessly. Also, I've been trying to install OpenBD by hand (unsuccsessfully), so I've got a copy of OpenBD and Tomcat on there already. Is it advisable to remove those prior to running the installer? Only if the previous installation of Tomcat is running. You don't want the old installation to be running at the same time as the new installation is running - otherwise you'll run into conflicts. Lastly, I forgot to mention that after the install you'll need to update Tomcat's server.xml file to identify your sites to Tomcat so it knows how to process them. The file is located in /opt/openbd/tomcat/conf/server.xml by default and is commented. You just need to tell Tomcat what domain name you'll be using and what directory your CFM files are located in for that site. I do have that part covered in the documentation: http://openbd.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/49/file/openbd_tomcat-apache_install-INCOMPLETE.pdf Although I haven't had time yet to write down how to configure Tomcat manually, so the documentation is still a bit incomplete. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you test! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

For both new and existing CFML developers, having to set up a J2EE server then deploy a CFML processor is above and beyond their normal job requirements. To ease the learning curve required to get OpenBD up and running, I've written an installer for Linux - which is very similar to the command-line installers for CF7, CF8, or BD JX. If you've ever installed any of those on Linux before, this should be familiar to you. You can download the installer here (about 55 MB): http://openbd.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/48/file/openbd_rhel.sh and just run it using the following command as root: # sh openbd_rhel.sh I've tested it on CentOS 4 and 5 and it works without issue with a default install of Apache. It installs a dedicated JVM, a pre-configured installation of Tomcat, and if you tell it to, it will do some of the system configuration for you as well (starting OpenBD at boot, configuring the Apache adapter, etc). Once the OpenBD Administrator is ready (it's *VERY* close) I'll package that up with this installer as well. For the moment though, I didn't include it. I'd *REALLY* like to get some feedback on this - if there's enough interest, I can work on a Windows installer as well. So, if you're inclined, please give this a look and let me know what you think.

Re: I need some help figuring this out...
*bump*... anyone? Thoughts? Thanks, Chris On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 3:17 PM, Chris Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hi folks, I need some help figuring something out, and after searching the web a bit on my own, and posting this question to my local CFUG, I thought I'd pose the problem to everyone here on CFTalk to see what came of it. Okay, so I need to write a program that checks an email account which will be receiving emails with PDF attachments. That part is no problem. The program then needs to embed an image onto the PDF in a specific physical location on the document. Technically speaking this will be an image of someone's signature, but for the sake of discussion it can be any image I want. Once the signature (image) has been affixed to the PDF, it is then saved and reprinted and then someone faxes that final printing to the end recipient. I don't have too much control (*read: basically none*) over the PDF before it gets to me. The reason being is that it starts life out as an *actual paper document* which is then faxed to a service (efax corporate, I think). That faxed image is turned into a PDF file and emailed to a predetermined email address. Is this going to be possible for me to do programmatically? The idea is that the person who needs to sign the document logs into the web based app., selects the document they want to sign, and the program takes care of putting the right signature in the right place on the document and re-saving it. My client currently accomplishes this by carrying around a tablet PC. They then check their email, save the attachment, open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and sign using the touch screen. They want to be able to do this from a Treo 755p instead. That's where the web based app. with passwords and pre-captured signatures comes in. I got a suggestion from my boss that I try to use the CF Report Builder to build a report that would contain two generic objects: A PDF (to be passed in) and a signature (to be passed in). This generic report would allow me to position each of the generic objects as I want, and then I'd call the report passing it an original PDF and a signature image. He has apparently done this sort of thing before in FoxPro's in-built report writer. I've played around with that last idea a bit this afternoon, but I can't seem to figure out a way to get CF Report Builder to do what I want. I'm wondering if something like Crystal Reports would allow me to do what I'm wanting. The problem there is that I've never used Crystal, and my client would have to purchase a copy even though I don't know that it would allow me to do what I'm wanting to do any more than CF Report Builder. Attached is an image of one of these signed PDF files with some sensitive information blurred out. Any and all help is much appreciated. Cheers!

Re: Signature Capture
I'm about to do a project where we'll be capturing signatures, and one member of the team says that he found a java applet that will capture signatures. We'll be running it on a PDA. I know nothing else about it (not even what it's called), I just know that my guy says he's found one. The point of this being that you may just want to look for something like what I'm describing here as another alternative. Good luck! Chris Dave Watts wrote: Has anyone come up with any good solutions that would let you embed a signature capture field in a form? This is for ColdFusion 8. The widget would appear at the bottom of a form contract and the hope would be that after the form was submitted it could be saved to a file on the server or made a part of a pdf. There is also talk of using something like this to draw basic diagrams to attach to a contact's record. You would need to use a PDF form to capture the signature. The PDF form containing the signature field can be appended to another PDF form containing the other form fields, if you want to do that, using CFPDFFORM. To work effectively with signatures, your PDF would have to post itself, not just the form data it contains, to your CF server. Then, in the action page, you'd be able to reference the PDF scope.

Re: SOT: proximity searches
Okay, I couldn't find the code hanging around on my machine, but I remembered the name was zipfinder.cfc and it's pretty nifty. I did a google for it and found the original codehttp://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/05/32/index4a_page7.html?tw=programming(click on the 'sample code' link to download). If you read the entire article (only part of which I've linked to above) you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about zip code proximity searches. This CFC provides you with three different methods of finding the zip codes (really you're finding longitude/latitude coordinates) in proximity to some other zip code (long/lat coordinate). He discusses the pros and cons of each in his article. Mostly, the issues are speed versus accuracy. If I'm not mistaken, the download that I've pointed you to comes with a zip code database for you to use, but if not, there are several free ones. I started a discussion a year or more ago on this very subject when I was in your shoes, and there were lots of suggestions. In the end I ended up purchasing a professional one for about thirty-bucks, but later I found out that I could have gotten one free and I think another person mentioned one that he found for five-bucks. My main concern was completeness of data, and I rationalized that if I bought the thing from some company and there turned out to be some incompleteness, then I had someone to complain to... but really, I'd already spent the money. :o) Good luck, and let us know if you have questions. Like I said, this topic has come up on this list before so there's definitely folks here who can help.

Actually they don't, one of my partners still has a dedicated box there and I have to deal with them all the time and they are a complete nightmare. I would sure like to know what this excellent support system is Last week he had an issue and asked me to call them and see what the deal was but I didn't have the ticket # and their excellent support system couldn't even look it up by the customer account and after making it quite clear to me in a very unprofessional manner that I couldn't expect them to and I told him that HMS has no such problems and it is a rather easy thing for them to do and the idiot hung up on me... nice service. So 5 hours later when his plane landed and he got to his hotel and got into his email and got me the ticket # and another 45 minutes on the phone with another idiot and a $150 charge to his account they were actually able to restart the server. Great service, I wish I had them Actually, it sounds like you may have gotten back what you gave. What constructive purpose does it serve to start throwing some other hosting company's name around, and saying, Well... so-and-so doesn't have a problem with yadda-yadda-yadda. After having been in the support center service myself in the past (thankfully no longer), I've come to realize that I don't get much of anywhere if I act like an asshole on the phone. I've had none of these bad experiences with CT tech support. Never had problems with ticket numbers either. Can't say as I ever had to have one. If I did, then to the best of my knowledge, the guy on the phone opened the ticket for me, handled the call and was done with it. I still say +1 for CrystalTech, but as is obvious with pretty much *anything* YMMV. ;o) Chris To this end they have a very feature-rich, constantly evolving control panel, one that allows me to perform many tasks that I might otherwise have to submit a request for. I have been in that panel and its ok but still not as nice as others. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about... one of the fundamental aspects of CrystalTech (and many other hosts) is that YOU run your business. They do everything they can to ensure that your customers are NOT aware that you're hosting at CrystalTech. They're customer control centers are generically branded as all customer-facing services - they abstract themselves out of the picture as a feature. LOL, you don't know what I am talking about? Ok so lets say you get on a plane to hawaii and soon as you board the plane your server goes down, well guess what.. its down for for quite a long time before you have any idea and so your customers sites are down as well and nothing can be done until you land and someone tells you which could be 12 hours later. Now that might be ok for you Jim, but its not ok for me! I make it a HUGE deal to my customers to let them know who and where is hosting their site and I make sure they have all the info they need in case they can't find me but can call the host to get something fixed. Personally, I want them them to know WTF is going on with their site and have abilities to get things fixed if something goes wrong and I can't be contacted. After all, it is THEIR web site and they are paying the bills. IMO, there is absolutely no reason in the world to not add that extra layer of protection. To me the way you do it is just another way for you to make money off of your clients, while that is good for you it's not so good for customers. I pay the extra money and pocket less out of the hosting to ensure things are going right. Now you might not have had any problems or maybe you have, i dunno but we just don't agree on biz models. and criticizing them for it seems silly. So for example last week derricks server goes down and since its at ct he cant get it restarted and it takes them several hours to get it back up and going, thats just damn silly aint it Jim. Not to mention all the damn hoops we had to jump through just to verify the account, now maybe it is just me but it shouldnt matter who the hell calls it in, if the damn server is down then get it back on, which was something that their techs just couldnt understand. But problem is that when people on here ask for hosting opinions they dont usually ask if the plans are managed or unmanaged. I know you love CT but I have yet to have a good experience with them, I havent dealt with them a lot but the 30 or so times I have were nightmarish. I can only relay my personal experience... and my personal experience has been excellent. And I will respect that Jim.

The only people I have seen who speak up for ct are on their own boxes, you don't see many people on their shared servers speak up at all. I'm on a shared server, and I love 'em. Sorry Dave. And when people come on and ask for cheap hosting... Remember that the original poster *asked about CrystalTech specifically*. His post, also indicated (to me at least) that he'd done some research already on his own and kept coming up with CrystalTech. and people come on and give recommendations of cheap servers but don't give any info on that fact that yes they are cheap but they also don't include any support and really anyone who is looking for cheap hosting probably will need all the support that they can get in which case a cheap server really isn't in there best interest. you can get a plain jane cheap unmanaged server anywere, it's the support when you need it that in my book is where I prefer to be covered. Well, that' your book. The original poster said *nothing* about support in his criteria for his own personal holy grail of hosting. I (again this could just be me) take that to mean that William is a big boy and can take care of his own support. He also *specifically* mentioned that he wanted shared hosting. So all this talk about unmanaged, dedicated boxes is not really what he was looking for, right? Or like I said before... if i cant be reached and there is a problem I want my customers to know they are covered. again, not one of the original poster's concerns. He listed his concerns very clearly. This wasn't one of them. Now would you host with someone would tell you that they are running mysql server 2000 and not just once as in a oopsy but as in several times, even after informing them that no such product exists and all that after waiting over 45 minutes on hold to talk to them? So, you've never misspoken before? Wow, you're really super critical. Did you also correct the reps. grammar while you were at it? Not too mention most of the actual coldfusion team will not host there, too me that says something. What do you mean by that? Who is the actual coldfusion team. I'm assuming this an eat-your-own-dog-food thing... what's your source? While what Jim does is great for him I don't think it would be good for someone who needs hand holding on a server. What makes you judge the original poster in this way? At what point did you decide that he needed his hand held? His list of what he was looking for in a hosting company was, again, very clear... and hand holding was not mentioned. Sounds to me like the guy knows how to take care of himself. Obviously, he can recommend whatever he wants but he should also add the facts to it because most people will assume that ct's ded boxes are comparable to hms ded boxes and they aren't, one includes support one doesn't but the average person asking doesn't know that. And personally, if i took jims recommendation and went to ct and signed a contract and then found out I had no support I would be pissed as hell at jim. If you took one person's suggestion without doing anymore homework, or if you asked for suggestions on a host and support was *really* important to you, but you failed to mention that, then I'd say you were the fool and should be pissed at yourself for not doing more homework. Do you like, *work* for HMS? Also, Jim never once in any of this compared Crystal Tech to HMS. You did that. So if by losing you mean that if someone reads this and has a boner over a $120 a month dedicated box (which I would also assume jim has a cfm license for which isnt included in that cost) and it helps keep them from getting into a major mess, then I am fine with that. I would rather have the facts out there to help them out see how has the cheapest server... and after all.. you get what what you pay for. You keep talking about 'facts', but you're only using anecdotal evidence (which is what we are all doing), but when someone else's experience differs from yours you dismiss what they said as 'non-fact', and instead substitute your own anecdotal evidence as fact. Which is exactly what Jim was getting at when he said, As we've come to expect all other opinions are incorrect because you're experience differs. I'm afraid that's how you're coming across even if you don't mean to. Also, there's nothing to win in this.

Re: ajaxcfc dump results
There are two versions of this function. a jQuery one and a non-jQuery one. The non-jQuery one came first. There are some improvements in the jQuery one (which, if I'm honest, is the one I use). I knew about the out of memory crashes, but for dumping a query result set like the original author was talking about, this is a very good tool (imo). It would be nice if it didn't try to expand every single section but instead allow for lazy loading of those pieces that the user wants to click on to expand. I figure that would take care of some instances of the out of memory crashes (which I rarely run into, unless I'm trying to dump top or document or window,etc.).

I took a deeper look (yeah, mostly to see how I could improve mine). It identifies several more object types (Dom Element, RegEx, etc) than mine and abstracts some objects very nicely (functions, dom objects, etc). At the same time it doesn't seem to have an option to NOT abstract them (for example it only shows four properties for DOM Elements when they actually have several hundred). It can't handle circular/recursive references. It crashes with an out of memory error. For example: Person1.Spouse = Person2; Person2.Spouse = Person1; Family = [Person1, Person2]; This will crash when you try to dump Family (it generates an endless loop). This was actually one of the most difficult challenges to overcome for me. Also there's no ability to control depth of recursion (for example deep, complex objects like document create an out of memory crash). With mine you can control the recursive depth (although if you don't my component crashes in exactly the same way). Now, that said, I also noticed that my extension can't handle regular expressions. It doesn't crash, but it also doesn't display them (it just displays blank). So it looks like between the both of them all the bases are covered! ;^) Jim Davis ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292625 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Report Builder Questions
Becky, I had this same problem. The answer was to put the concatenation inside the field. What I mean is just put the field on the report. Then double-click it to bring up the expression editor (I think that's what it's called). In there you can put; Trim(query.AreaFull) Area !--- notice the leading space --- Then when report builder renders the report, the whole field comes out right. Hope that helps.
