bypassing the site-wide error handler
Hi, when can an application bypass the CF v9 site-wide error handler? We host an app, that uses cftry/catch, but that appears to not handle the errors correctly. The errors do not trigger the site-wide error handler, and the errors are displayed to the users. The site-wide error handler works fine for other applications, and testing. Thanks for any insight!

RE: JVM Tuning and cthreads... I'm Back
Well, in CF7, you control the thread life in jrun.xml (in C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\SERVER-INF for multi-server config on Windows). There's two places to change the settings, in the SchedulerService and the ProxyService (pick the right ProxyService for your web server). One is for the web server to the web server connector, one is for ColdFusion to the web server connector, I believe. service class=jrunx.scheduler.SchedulerService name=SchedulerService ... attribute name=timeout300/attribute service class=jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService name=ProxyService ... attribute name=timeout300/attribute Using basic jrun metrics logging, I've watched our threads timeout after 5 min. of inactivity, so it seems to be working for us (CFMX 7.02 multiserver on WinServ 2003). hth, Chris -Original Message- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 1:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: JVM Tuning and cthreads...

This would add 260 seconds to your request but would likely create enough margin for threads to complete so the thread queue doesn't build too high. We have played with using a throttle such as this to slow processing. But my primary concern right now is that the threads do not go away even when all the processing is done and the files exist, the server monitor show all threads created still running. I don't see how slowing this down is going to help, until I find someway to make them somehow go away sooner or later. Even running the code to just create 10 files leaves 10 threads hanging, run it again and there are 20 threads hanging with repeating thread names. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307427 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
busy taskmgr/explorer - JRun not start
We've got a recurring problem on Windows Server 2003 VMWare instances: taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe get busy (together using 25-35% CPU with the server idle, no users) and JRun is very slow starting, or won't start. The taskmgr/explorer busy-ness is not likely the problem itself, but we see it everytime we have these issues. In this particular case, JRun/CFMX was running fine, then after stop/starting it prior to a load test it just wouldn't start. No errors in the logs. cfusion-out.log entries just stop, and they stop at different places on different attempted restarts. It's popped up several times on different servers, but not on all our servers. It seems that something's running in the background, that we can't see, that uses up resources. Just throwing more CPU or RAM at it doesn't solve the problem, though. We deal with Shared Services who provide the virtual machine, and there's many other groups that install the anti-virus, network monitoring, etc. It may just be these folks not coordinating with each other, but I thought I'd toss this out in case someone else has seen something like this ... thanks, Chris ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307463 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

As long as CF has rights to write where you specify, you're okay. I usually put the .car files in the logs directory. I don't know why the archiving function would be throwing errors like you got.

scheduled jobs run twice
Has anybody seen scheduled jobs run twice? (CFMX 7.0.2 on Solaris 9)Here's the scheduler.log entry showing the job running then rescheduling for the current time instead of the next time. This has happened on several jobs, but not on all jobs. I found a reference to not starting jobs at regular times (like the top of the hour) to not interfere with other jobs. I thought I had it fixed by starting jobs at a minute-past a regular time, but it's happening again now. I've also wondered if the scheduled job runs so fast that the rescheduler doesn't realize it's the *next* time now. thanks, Chris Information,scheduler-1,04/25/07,22:01:00,,[oie_email_feedback] Executing at Wed Apr 25 22:01:00 EDT 2007 Information,scheduler-1,04/25/07,22:01:00,,[oie_email_feedback] Rescheduling for :Wed Apr 25 22:01:00 EDT 2007 Now: Wed Apr 25 22:01:00 EDT 2007 Information,scheduler-1,04/25/07,22:01:00,,[oie_email_feedback] Executing at Wed Apr 25 22:01:00 EDT 2007 Information,scheduler-1,04/25/07,22:01:00,,[oie_email_feedback] Rescheduling for :Wed May 02 22:01:00 EDT 2007 Now: Wed Apr 25 22:01:00 EDT 2007 ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

500 errors -- 'form spammers'
We're getting more and more HTTP 500 errors from 'form spammers'. They are evidently trying to HTTP POST their spam to our form action pages. The Apache/IHS web server is logging it as a 500 error. CFMX 7.0.2 isn't logging any errors. The error seems to appear before CFMX processes the page, as no CF command are executed before the 500 error is thrown. We've been unable to duplicate the error using CFHTTP and method=post. Our Security guys are trying to grab the POST content so we can see what the spammers are sending. Has anybody else dealt with this? We'd like to trap these errors, rather than just block the spammers IP addresses. thanks, Chris ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

JRun is always installed, but in a single-server mode it doesn't have a root

has JRun in \\servername\c$\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin

Chris,
I am not sure I understand.
In the bulletin, it offers three different configuration installations.
One for single server, multi-server JRun updater 5 and JRun Updater 6.
It has been a while since I did a single server installation as I tend to
use multi-server as my defacto, but I remember that there still was a JRun
instance installed in single server mode.
I will have to reinstall CFMX 7 on a staging machine to confirm this.

jvm.config corrupted by CFMX Admin
We've now observed CFMX Admin corrupt jvm.config in two different ways, preventing CFMX from running. (CFMX 7 and higher, on Solaris 9) 1) Editing JVM min. and max. sizes in CFMX Admin can corrupt jvm.config, preventing the required restart. We've also seen the jvm.bak backup get corrupted. Manually editing jvm.config works fine. 2) Entering a path in ColdFusion Class Path in the Java and JVM section of CFMX Admin. When we pressed Submit, CFMX said it would have to be restarted to accept the change. We postponed the restart to a less busy time. However, within 1.5 hr. CFMX apparently read the change, attempted to write it to jvm.config, corrupted jvm.config, saved a corrupted version in jvm.bak, and crashed. Thoughts: - manually backup jvm.config before making any changes to the Java and JVM section of CFMX Admin. - don't pre-position any changes. If CFMX needs a restart, do it then to confirm it'll be accepted. - edit jvm.config by hand to keep CFMX Admin from touching it!

CFMX *is* Java In fact, it's Sun-certified J2EE compliant. That's pretty pure.

RE: CFMX7 Integration with J2EE - How complete is the integration?
One possibility for using CFMX Admin is to not use the CFMX Admin GUI. You can edit the neo*.xml files then deploy them to configure CFMX, without using the CFMX Admin GUI. We did this on a WebSphere cluster because the CFMX Admin settings won't progagate across the cluster. However, a script can push the neo*.xml files out quite easily. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Mosh Teitelbaum [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 16:43:51 -0400 All: Thanks for the replies. I don't think the admin is a CFMX hater, just someone who has enough on his hands managing their WebLogic boxes without having to learn another management interface (the CF Admin). And, as someone who wishes he had more free time on his hands, I can't find fault with that. While I get the distinction between pure Java and an appserver-specific extension, I think I had been expecting a bit more in terms of deploying CFMX7 apps on J2EE servers. I think it was back in February that BF wrote a CFDJ article basically saying that J2EE server admins would no longer have to jump through hoops to deploy CFMX7 apps. Having read the document at the URL that Robert provided, I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Robert Munn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 2:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFMX7 Integration with J2EE - How complete is the integration? Technically, I believe your client's admin is correct. Take a look at this page on installing CFMX 7 in J2EE mode with WebLogic. http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/j2ee/cfmx7j2ee_weblog ic_deploy.html One component of ColdFusion is a J2EE servlet application that compiles CFML into JSP files and executes them. That part of ColdFusion could be called pure Java. ColdFusion also contains other components- the ODBC services and the Search service, for instance, which are not pure Java- they aren't even Java at all. My re-collection from a conversation a couple of years ago at MAX was that Macromedia was thinking about putting out a pure J2EE implementation of ColdFusion without the non-Java components- an edition that would deploy and run on any J2EE server on any platform. I don't know if that plan ever came to fruition; I don't see it listed as a product edition on the Macromedia site.

Not us. We just kept a backup of neo-query.xml in the same directory. For Production we made changes to neo-query.xml itself then copied it out to the servers, rather than risk using CFMX Admin on a Production system. neo-query.xml is written to every time you access the datasources menu in the CFMX Admin - even if you make no changes.

Re: Robot.txt question... security issue?
I think the distinction needs to be make between what's sensitive and what you don't want to be indexed by a spider. If the information is sensitive, it shouldn't be where a spider can get to it at all - and robots.txt is no protection. If the information just shouldn't be indexed, then robots.txt will work ... at least for well-behaved spiders.

RE: CF 7 on WebSphere - what's the beef with Clustering?
I've dealt with that. The problem is that CFMX Admin doesn't propagate changes across the WebSphere cluster. Other than that, it's robust. What we did was make all the changes in CFMX's neo-*.xml files, and just used a script to copy those across the cluster. Much better than opening CFMX admin on all nodes! This worked with 30 to 90 instances of CFMX in our cluster (WAS v5.0 ND and v5.1 ND).

So, an option is to deploy our CF apps to WebSphere.

Thanks for the help. I finally got CFMX7 installed and got a good JRun/JMC installation. One definite problem was not restarting the machine a second time after manually deleting the remaining JRun files (this is after running uninstall and restarting the machine).

Re: Session vs. Client Variables
We just switched away from client variables, and now use only session variables. We got an enormous increase in performance. The database guys were complaining about the performance impace from all the reads -- let alone the writes -- due to storing variables in the database. Recall that CFMX (like CF before it) reads all the user's client variables at the beginning of any HTTP Request that uses even one client variable. All the user's client variables are then written back to the database at the end of that HTTP Request. We definitely experienced some issues with scaling. (CFMX for J2EE, WebSphere, Oracle 10g, 3,000 to 4,000 concurrent users, database-intensive application) Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...

Re: Using a J2EE Application Server
Using CFMX on J2EE lets you move into existing J2EE environments. It lets you use both CFMX and Java developers to build your application(s). It can allow you to use CFMX for rapid-prototyping, then build in Java as you need. With the use of J2EE Session Management, you can fully integrate CFMX and Java apps as CFMX Java share one session and identifier (jsessionid, and the HTTP session object). J2EE is just middle-tier, you still need a web server. Apache (modified) is used as the web server with WebSphere and Oracle Application Server.

That's what we do, too. Any working neo-query.xml file, even one from another server with different datasources will work - all it has to be is non-corrupt. We put a readonly copy of neo-query.xml, renamed neo-query.xmlSAVE in the same directory with neo-query.xml so it's always ready to be used.

Re: jsessionid cookies
If it's CFMX for J2EE, it could be running on any one of several different J2EE app servers (JRun, WebSphere, WebLogic, SunONE, etc.). The only reason a J2EE app server would set the jsessionid cookie again is if it didn't see the first cookie. Check your http headers and see if you can see what's happening. We had a case of running a CFMX app on WebSphere and a Java app on Oracle's 9iAS app server - each app server wanted to set its own jsessionid cookie, so the browser ended up losing the session everytime it went from one to the other. We ended up setting a flag in the database to tell if there was an active session for that user, so he could go to the one app on WebSphere or the other app on Oracle. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Nick Cabell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 10:45:22 -0400 Thank you so much for the helpful answer (finally!). If it is JRUN that is setting the jsessionid (regardless of whether you have told CF to store session variables in the j2ee object) then what explains why there is no jsessionid coming from the hosted site - does this suggest they are not running CFMX on top of JRUN? Also, any idea why there the jsessionid cookie is set and then immediately reset when I first access the dev site that is running on top of JRUN? From what you say, that cannot be anything I am doing since it is done by the j2ee software. CFMX doesn't set the jsessionid cookie itself, it's set by the J2EE application server. Setting CMFX to use J2EE session management means CFMX session variables are stored in the J2EE HTTP session object (and can thus be accessed through Java calls).

J2EE datasources hidden from client var storage
I learned that J2EE datasources can be hidden if you try to designate them for client variable storage. (Bug no. 52639). Due to be fixed in the next upgrade to CFMX. They're there; they verify in CFMX Admin Data Sources, but they're not visible in CFMX Admin Client Variables. Workarounds: 1) manually edit the WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo-clientstore.xml file to designate a datasource for client variable storage. Keep a backup of that file! 2) create a separate CFMX-configured datasource for only client variables, and use the J2EE datasource for regular use.

CFMX on WAS - datasources
For those dealing with CFMX on WebSphere - we learned that we needed to set up the datasource(s) as version 4 so CFMX would see them (they come through as J2EE datasources). However, the Oracle 9i ROWID comes through differently depending if you use a CFMX datasource or a WAS datasource: With CFMX datasource, we select rowid we get the following results, which we should get. ROW_ID=AACcv7AANAAAY4DAAv With WAS (v4) datasource we get the following result. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quite a difference!

CFMX on 2nd instance of WebSphere?
Has anybody dealt with putting CFMX on a 2nd instance (on one machine) of WebSphere Application Server? We're having some issues with CFMX admin mappings on the 2nd instance, and I'm wondering if WAS might be part of the problem. The 2nd instance is strange to work with - to start and stop the server you go to its bin directory and run setCmdLine.sh then go to the bin directory of the first instance and run startServer.

pkg CFMX with other Java apps?
We need to package CFMX, the .cfm files of our application, and other Java applications all together. We're using CFMX v6.1 for J2EE, on Solaris 8, with WebSphere App Server v5. MM tells us to just physically copy all parts of the other applications into the CFMX directory tree, but our folks would rather keep the design more modular. And not have to re-create all the dependencies of the existing applications. Ideally, we could deploy the .war files of the various application parts, then package the entire business as one large .ear file. Anybody know how to do that?

The virtual servers are running on the same iPlanet 6.0 SP4 server. All are using ColdFusion MX Enterprise (version 6,0,0,52311) on UNIX (Solaris 8). We developed a web application which will be hosted from multiple virtual servers on the same box. All CFM page filenames are the same within the virtual severs and the code is identical (except a few changes in the Application.cfm for each). Site #1 is located in: /local/web/site1/ and site #2 is located in: /local/web/site2/. The index.cfm page for site #1 appears fine in the browser however when index.cfm for site #2 is loaded, the CF debugging information shows that all the CF pages (and those included from within index.cfm) were loaded from site #1's web root directory (instead of site #2's directory). If I restart ColdFusion and bring up index.cfm for site #2, it loads fine. Then, index.cfm on site #1 displays the CF pages for site #2 instead. I think the problem is with CF's page caching but haven't been able to remedy it. Any ideas you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Be sure to stop/start the CFserver when you change any .cfm file, and make the Trusted Cache big - like 5 or 10 times the total size of your .cfm files.

However, unless you need the security that provides, I'd recommend just using one, and have a two-part context path (to the CFMX server, and then to the app's directory). That way you don't need to have two copies of the CF Server loaded in memory all the time.

Re: CF Server Mappings
No answer that I know of - sure would like one! We have multiple versions of our application on one machine, and CF 4.5 (like v5) can have only one instance of CF on one machine. So all our mappings, which are absolute, point only to one application version or the other. We left the mappings for our error handling, which hardly changes. We use relative addresses for everything else. Looking forward to our transition to CFMX for J2EE and multiple instances of CF! Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Matt Kornguth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: 03 Apr 2003 09:25:31 -0500 Think the answer to this is No, but worth a try: We recently moved our development and staging sites onto the same physical server running CF 5.0. We are running into the situation where our CF server mappings are pointing to specific directories on EITHER dev or staging. So, when working on dev, we may have to change a file in a mapped directory on staging ... or vice versa. Anyone know of a way (without conditional coding) to have the same server mapping point to the correct mapped directory (i.e. dev when on dev, staging when on staging)? I know multiple instances of CF are not possible with 5.0, so any thoughts? Hope I conveyed the problem OK.

I don't have any great ideas, but one thing I'd do is put the connectstring into the CFQUERY itself to see what happens. If things go faster then the problem is in accessing the tnsnames.ora file. We had some problems during load testing CF4.5,SP2 and Oracle 8.1.7 where the problem was trying to access tnsnames.ora too often. Putting the connectstring info into the CFQUERY fixed that. Also, I've heard of using sql trace/TKPROF to debug slow Oracle queries. I haven't used it myself, but info about it should be in the Oracle docs. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Simon Whittaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 10:54:49 +0100 Hi all, I have a bit of a problem I wouldn't mind some help with - We are using CF5 and Oracle 8i(8.1.7.0.0) (using Native drivers) and our application is running REALLY slowly. We have tuned the queries as much as we see possible and cached wherever possible although the neature of the beast makes caching a bit of a pipe-dream. I have been doing some debugging and found that the first query of the page is taking a very long time: getnews (Records=3, Time=2359ms) SQL = SELECT news_id, headline FROMnews WHERE show = 1 ORDER BY newsdate desc These are not big records and the query is very fast if I perform it through SQLPLUS or TOAD (Oracle gui devlopment tool) - the rest of the queries on the page are then performed in regular time. A tnsping of the box produces: Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=*REMOVEDHOSTNAME*)(PORT=1521)) OK (40 msec) so the connection to the oracle instance itself seems to be a reasonable time. Does anyone have any ideas that could help us out as it is starting to cause problems Many Thanks Simon ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: CF 5 Oracle Best Pactices
We've used Oracle with CF 4.5 SP2 for a while - I'd recommend going with Oracle 8i (8.1.7) and native drivers. BTW, one of the 8.1.6 Oracle drivers (8.1.6.2 ?) has a memory leak. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Robert Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 16:25:39 -0500 I'm about to configure a CF 5 machine and was wondering if anyone knows the best version of Oracle to use with CF 5 - 8.0 vs 8.1.6 or 7 and if I should use native or ODBC. Any insight into best practices or experiences is appreciated - TIA!
