onRequestStart onRequest variable assignments
This application I inherited, certain variables are not persisting their values between onRequestStart and onRequest. I've been writing to a log file to document the changes. Seems to be happening just after onRequestStart ends and onRequest begins. Values are being reset. So the variables themselves still exist, just their value is being altered and I cannot see where it is happening. am I missing something obvious? ~| 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:359891 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Dan, I was just reading this post by CF Gurur Mike B.

I'm pretty sure MS SQL Express is not meant to be used this way... someone correct me if I am wrong. ~| 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:359770 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: GC overhead limit exceeded
I created another page ( that is not accessing the DB ) under the root directory and was able to access this fine on the domain whilst the site was still down.. It wasn't until I ran the application which is accessing the DB that we are experiencing that site blowing up ( massive lag ). So Coldfusion IS working, just not when its attempting to connect to the DB. So seems to me that an overburdened MS SQL Express is reaching its limits OR something in CF is being run incorrectly. But I tend to doubt the latter as the application was fine under the previous CF 9 installation ( so I am told ). ~| 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:359772 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: how to diagnose a potential bottleneck
This does not necessarily mean anything Don. It could simply mean migration from eden to persistent memory where GC recovers in due course. It's the overall pattern of GC recovery that means the most when talking about gross numbers. You should see a saw tooth pattern over time with steep drops as memory is recovered on the heap. Problems arise when the drop does not level off (it recovers less and less memory each time - i.e. a memory leak) or when the top side of the heap is too lean (i.e. the heap is too small for it's overall usage pattern). But keying in on a big dump of objects into perm heap isn't necessarily going to give you information that you can use. Yes thanks Mark. I do realize that this may be barking up the wrong tree. But since this site is hosted my hands are tied on a few levels in debugging this strange error. This is really all I have at present to look into. Could also be the hardware isn't up to the task. I'm not seeing many offending pages. ~| 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:359741 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: how to diagnose a potential bottleneck
No I don't. It all sits in memory unused. But if an error occurs this info gets dumped out via my error handler where it can be used post-mortem. Generally my error handler loops over a pre-defined list of scopes and dumps them all out. Depending on the setting I've made, the dump is either to a db record (Access memo fields aren't large enough for this) or to a disk file. I prefer a browser-readable disk file - a large query or similar sitting in the variables scope can make these files very large. 500k to 1mb files are common. Dumping out scopes like this has security implications so you need to address that when storing/viewing this info. --m@-- I see, so it follows all active users around and reports only upon error. Quite an elegant approach. ~| 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:359756 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Setting up database for mvc website
I had to look up 'orthogonal' - And now I'm even more confused! Thanks guys! =) Is this what you are asking? are there any architectural considerations in database design to match what is needed by an MVC architecture? I see that as a legit question as some specific MVC engines/frameworks that are by convention, such as CFWheels, prefer certain conventions in, for example, database naming.

Re: Setting up database for mvc website
Is this what you are asking? are there any architectural considerations in database design to match what is needed by an MVC architecture?

Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks
But my approach to frameworks has been to 'wait and see'. Because I don't like wasting my time. I need to do something on a daily basis other wise it wont stick. I delayed learning any Framework and then just learned fusebox at a job/contract. I was going to ask, which frameworks are the most popular in terms of actual employment statistics but even then, it might all be a waste of time if my next contract doesn't use ( framework x,y, or z ). So I think I'll continue conserving my energy and just focus on CF. Maybe checkout FW/1 for my own projects from what a few here have said about it. didn't find the documention all that great though. ~| 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:351070 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks
But focusing on 'which framework is more popular' and 'which framework may go away' seems a bit silly. I don't think so. The reason being is that I don't like wasting my time because if I don't use a thing everyday it doesn't get imprinted. For example - I've gotten semi proficient in java several times only to have the knowledge dissapear on account of lack of use. Popularity would also be a good indicator of job prospect, which is a good indicator of how much money I can potentially make.

Right...but...learning a new framework or two, depending on which you choose and how you use 'em, will make you a better MVC'er, OO'er, ORM'er, Frameworker, etc... ...if you take my meaning.

Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks
I think much of it overshadows and diminishes what CFML's biggest advantage has always been, which is simplicity to use and ease to learn, CFML is itself a RAD Framework for JAVA don;t forget. If a newbie comes along here they are invariably told to use OOP, use MVC, use a framework, use cfscript and all the other most complex parts of CF, which rather defeats the point of using CFML doesn't it. The average newbie to CF really only needs to learn a handful of tags and functions to do what he needs on a basic site, even CFC's are not required. The frameworks, OOP and MVC topic really belongs in the realm of advanced developers who need this stuff and enterprise apps, the newbie and dabbler really shouldn't need to feel pressured into learning this stuff if they don;t need it.

I was going to ask, which frameworks are the most popular in terms of actual employment statistics but even then, it might all be a waste of time if my next contract doesn't use ( framework x,y, or z ). Maybe what you are looking for isn't going to be solved by a framework, but by a better methodology. By far, the most popular way to write web applications these days, an improvement over the old Fusebox days, and certainly enabled (and sometimes forced) by all the frameworks, is MVC. The Model-View-Controller pattern is pretty ideal for web applications, and is one of the best tools we developers have these days. You can do it without a framework, it's not hard ( www.dopefly.com/techblog/entry.cfm?entry=307 and www.dopefly.com/techblog/entry.cfm?entry=308), and it's much more important than marrying yourself to any specific framework. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] Yes thanks Nathan, this has been an excellent addition.

Re: file upload - preventing double or more full stops in file name
Thanks guys.

No matter that the parameter of the cffile... tag is called. The flow is: User picks file with client (i.e. browser) file form control. The user submits the request. The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request. It then sends the request to the web server (i.e. IIS, Apache, etc). The web server decrypts the file from the header to a temporary location. (C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion25\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion. war-tmp\neotmp4910092545170934955.tmp) for example. The web server then tells ColdFusion about the uploaded file and where it was. If you want to do anything with the file data before the last step, you will either have to have code running on the Client system OR you might be able to get some of the data from the raw request headers. ~| 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:342819 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

XML/Schema Errors ( validating XML with Schema ) and XMLValidate.
Hello I'm Validating an XML object using code similar to the following: cfset daOb = xmlParse(ca2.xml) cfset myResults=XMLValidate(daOb, ca2_generated.xsd) Regarding the XSD and errors generated, I notice that if I violate a restriction as per below ( say I specify 'THATShipper' vs. 'ThisShipper' I will get a generalised message ( such as : [Error] :2:23: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'ArrayOfPurchaseOrder' ) ( ArrayOfPurchase order is the parent XML element ). rather than anything useful pertaining to the specific item that was violated ( ie - line number, element number or anything else for that matter. It seem to simply refer to the parent XML element ( ArrayOfPurchaseOrder ). xs:element name=ShipMethod xs:simpleType xs:restriction base=xs:string xs:enumeration value=ThisShipper/ /xs:restriction /xs:simpleType /xs:element Is there anything I could do at the Schema/XSD level to assure that I can get meaningful feedback as to what was violated? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RegExp Question
I'm trying to break a large chunk of text, so, a user can click on MORE to to read the rest of it. Using the following technique has some success, however, it does not seem to be good enough. -- cut off point, 500 characters cfset brkR = MID(myTxt,500,5) cfset brk = Find( , brkR) cfoutput #Left(myTxt,500+brk)# then, upon clicking the MORE link, it display the rest as follows: -- the main body of the txt #Mid(myTxt,501+brk,Len(myTxt))# /cfoutput Attempt to use cfset brk = REFind([\s], brkR) does not help or I didn't do it right. It sort of works, but an issue is, it now shows , nbsp; etc. special characters in the breaking area. Question, what is a better way to do this?

Re: (ot) Detect OS and CPU Architecture
Barney, thank you for your input. I ran CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT (cf) for it. Here's what I got. With Firefox 3.5 I get: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) With IE7 I get: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618) hmm, I can't seem to see anything that could be translated into cpu arch. What else could we try? Well, windows only runs on Intel, and it states 32/64 bit in the user agent. Linux usually has an architecture in the user agent. OSX is a wildcard, but universal binaries make it no big deal if it's PPC or Intel. But to answer your question, JS is unable to determine it, and more to the point, unable to do anything architecture-specific anyway. cheers, barneyb -- Barney Boisvert bboisv...@gmail.com http://www.barneyb.com/ On Sep 25, 2009, at 6:37 PM, D ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: (ot) Detect OS and CPU Architecture
You are a disgusting and despicable being and your rigidness is beyond words. The question was to detect a user's OS and its CPU architecture not the server's. Do you know how my app is run??? Got it now? f off! Told you a 100 times! f off! I'll hunt you down one day, you fker! Common sense would dictate that you just maybe want to get this info from a system that actually runs in the os and not a client-side solution. Ok so what runs on pretty much every OS and integrates with coldfusion?

Search emails dynamically from a cf8 app
I'm thinking about providing an ability to search all emails for a user (from his/her pop3 server) while performing a search for some texts from the current app/ current database. Yes, understand the cfpop tag would allow one to connect to a pop3 server and retrieve emails dynamically. But say, an average user's inbox would have ~800 emails. I'm not sure how efficient this approach of pulling out ~800 or more emails and then run a query against it. Am thinking loud here, how about Event Gateway (have never used it though)? Wouldn't it be a more direct hence more efficient approach? app - connector -- event gateway setup and process (search against the entire inbox for the user for a keyword/phrase) -- pass results back to app ? is it something like that?

Re: Search emails dynamically from a cf8 app
Yes, understand the cfpop tag would allow one to connect to a pop3 ... is it something like that? No, an event gateway wouldn't be any more direct. It would, in fact, be less direct - instead of CF talking to the mail server, something else would have to talk to the mail server. I don't think that searching POP mailboxes from CF is an especially good idea. If possible, I would fetch mail from the mailboxes periodically, and index that using Verity (or Solr or whatever). Or better yet, ditch the POP mailboxes entirely and switch to Google Apps, which is in my opinion better in almost all respects to hosting your own mailserver or using an ISPs server or whatever. Of course, being a Google Apps reseller/implementer/trainer I may be slightly biased. Google mail is easily searched, as you can imagine, and I think it would be pretty easy to get CF to provide an interface for that search if you want it. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Thank you for your thoughts, Dave. I wouldn't have control of user's mail service, be it pop3 server for client (Outlook) or else. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: ajax cfc not working for Access DB -- odd stuff
If the cfc is being hit, and with the right data, you can absolutely rule out the cfajaxproxy tag. Can we clarify that the data being returned from the method is the problem? Try posting a form directly to the cfc method, e.g. form method=post action=pathtocfc.cfc?method=fubar!--- I think that's right, have never done it --- !--- your fields, etc --- /form From there, debugging should be more straight forward. Dominic Forgot, I could simply use pathtocfc.cfc?method=fubarparam1=727param2='blablaText' from URL to test it and did, it only returned these structures but action outcome. But I've spent over 1.4 hours on it, there's another option, opted out... thanks though. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

ajax cfc not working for Access DB -- odd stuff
I've moved on to an open source cfml engine, don't know what caused the
following odd behavior, that is, my cfajaxproxy tag no longer works for an
inline data editing function (meaning, it does not do database update for a set
of data) while the same code works for ms sql server 2005 express (db syntax
are exactly same for such a simple query) and since I'm using sync mode I
can't use the setCallbackHandler method to do debugging. Thought, could use
more heads here...
caller line
cfajaxproxy cfc=myCFC4inlineEdit jsclassname=UpdateObj2 /
cfc code and js code below,
cfcomponent output=false
cfset THIS.dsn=myDS
cffunction name=doUpdate access=remote
cfloop item=i collection=#arguments#
cfif Left(i,6) IS someID
cfset someid = arguments.#i#
/cfif
cfif Left(i,4) IS uaid
cfset uaid = arguments.#i#
/cfif
cfif Left(i,5) IS whats
cfset whats = arguments.#i#
/cfif
/cfloop
cfif not isdefined(arguments.userID)
cfset arguments.someID = 'dummyID728932'
/cfif
cfset fmtwhats = REreplace(Evaluate(whats),','',ALL)
cfset fmwhats = REreplace(fmtwhats,'','',ALL)
cfparam name=result default=success
cftry
cfquery datasource=#THIS.dsn#
update blablaTBL
set whats = '#fmwhats#'
where uaid = cfqueryPARAM value = #Evaluate(uaid)#
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER
and sid = cfqueryPARAM value =
#Evaluate(someid)#
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
maxlength=128;
/cfquery
cfcatch type=databasecfset result=failed
/cfcatch
/cftry
!---cfreturn #fmWhats#---
cfreturn #result#
/cffunction
/cfcomponent
// much credit goes to Sam Farmer for getting me started on this (JSON) approach
function callUpdateJS2(frm,row) {
rowUpdate(frm,row);
}
function handleResult(r) {
console.log(r);
}
function rowUpdate(frm,row){
// var d = new DraftObj();
var d = new UpdateObj2();
d.setSyncMode(true);
d.setForm(frm);
d.setHTTPMethod('POST');
// d.doUpdate();
// expect d.doUpdate() to return failed or success string
// BUT it doesn't!
// update {notes} field; 05/28/2008
document.getElementById(row).innerHTML = d.doUpdate();
}
Forgive me about the formatting and typo if any.
Thanks.

Re: ajax cfc not working for Access DB -- odd stuff
I've moved on to an open source cfml engine Don't ever do that. But seriously. First step of debugging ajax: install Firebug for Firefox if you haven't already. Next, enable all the firebug console options for your page and while viewing the console tab you should see your http post request made by your proxy js object (when you fire that event). You will then be able to examine the the data sent to your cfc and also the response. If there is no http request sent then the problem may well be with the cfajaxproxy code - if a request *is* sent, then we can safely move on from the client side code. With any luck, examining the http response will tell you exactly what's going wrong and will be a cf / railo error page. HTH Dominic Sorry, Dominic, I wasn't clear about the browser, the inline editing feature is IE specific, that is, Firefox has a hell time with it, hence, it's IE only, yes, I like Firefox's firebug and find it very helpful but not for this case. I have firebug lite set up for the IE7, but it didn't show http call etc. from cfajaxproxy as in FF/FB... more thoughts? thanks. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Very ODD.
The line of cfreturn #result# in the cfc should have been
cfreturn true since we don't need data back from the cfc.
and was previously cfreturn true. I've enabled the feature in FF.
case A, cfreturn true
ajax http post succeeds, RESPONSE: the {data} instead of TRUE ?
case B, in the cfc, cfset result=fielda, #fa#; fieldb, #fb#; memofield,#mf#
cfreturn #result#
(just for the heck of it),
ajax http post succeeds, RESPONSE: just the #mf# instead of fielda, #fa#;
fieldb, #fb#; memofield,#mf# ?
FYI, the computer is totally offline and wireless device driver was turned off
as well.

Re: (ot) How to call a .cfm page from a MS SQL Server trigger or stored procedure
Sound like what needs to be done can't be done or very inconvenient to be done at db end hence you need to run some cfm page from db end. Not sure if it's efficient, doable though. call sp_shellcmd, (look it up for sp for shell command), have some utility like wget, then, wget http://yourURL; something. I've done a ton of Googling, (is that a word??) and so far I can't find the answer, so I figured I'd ask here. I've got a trigger that runs when certain tables are updated, which updates some other tables, but I'd like it to call a .cfm page (either on the database box or a different box) that does some other tasks. Is this possible? Specifics: DB Server: MS SQL Server 2005 OS: Windows 2003 Thanks!
