Re: alternatives to cfcontent to allow large downloads
Instead of using CFCONTENT, you can use CF to create a temporary URL, then let your web server serve the file directly. For example, you could use CFEXECUTE to create a symlink to a directory containing the file, then after an hour (or whatever time you deem appropriate) you could delete the symlink. Thanks Dave. After a bit of Googling, it appears you have answered a similar question at a previous time. You mentioned using the Junction sysinternals tool to do this. I could not find that thread on houseoffusion.com, but here it is in another mail archive site: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg253608.html. Looks like this might work the best for the current setup. For the future though, I guess I also want to use this opportunity to ask if people have had good experiences in general with using the Amazon S3 service. Barney seems to like it a lot, but are there any major gotchas?

alternatives to cfcontent to allow large downloads
Hi all, CFMX 7 Enterprise on IIS and Win 2003. Relatively medium traffic website, probably about 200 or so downloads a day, ranging from 1MB to 1GB or so. This is expected to double every 3 months or so. I read that cfcontent utilizes a single thread for the duration of a file download. I also read Ben Nadel's post here: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:1226.view on sidestepping some of that. There was a bit of discussion about using x-sendfile with lighthttpd and Apache, but I don't have that option since I am condemned to IIS. The question is: are there any other alternatives? I could initialize another instance and make it handle only the download requests, but can't really guess at the long-term viability of that.

On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 3:02 PM, Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Use a content delivery network (CDN) or something like Amazon S3. CDNs are usually targeted at large-scale anonymous access, which is not quite what you want. S3, on the other hand, is private by default, and can easily be accessed by secured URLs that are only accessible for a narrow window of time. So someone requests your asset, and instead of serving it with CFCONTENT, you redirect them to S3 with a URL that's only good for a handful seconds. I do this for a few different things, and it works like a charm. It also offloads the bandwidth from my infrastructure to Amazon's. I could look, but what does S3's usage policy say about that kind of offloading? Does that also mean that the application now also has to maintain assets in 2 different places? Some of my users would really balk at that. But an intriguing suggestion, nonetheless. You might be able to synthesize something like this with IIS, as well. It won't server a given asset unless it has some one-time or short-lived token attached to the URL. Set that up to protect your downloads, and then do the same compute token/redirect thing to your own IIS server and let it serve the file instead of CF. This seems more in line with keeping things in-house. I like that. Any pointers to where I could start? Or what I should google? :-) Thanks, George ~| 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:307107 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

SOT: XML storage of metadata in database fields
All, I tried searching for information on this, but I am probably not searching for the right jargon. We have an application that allows users to specify (at initial setup time) to specify what kind of metadata they want to enter when they work with digital media within the application. For example, one user may want to upload a bunch of Word doc files and then enter a set of metadata (say Title, Description, Source, Location, etc.). Another user may want to enter a combination of images, docs and movie files and then enter a different set of metadata (say Title, Description, Period, Style, Location, Dates, Sequence, etc.) If we go the traditional database route, this would involve lots of dynamically named fields which I envision as really messy. We think that storing these individual metadata sets as XML data (keyed to ID fields in the db) would be the way to go. Does anybody have any experience/thoughts on this approach? It would be really nice to read any articles or whitepapers on this too.

changing/adding code to pages within cfide/administrator
Hi, We decided that we would actually follow the directions by Macrodobe that say that you should also independently secure the CF admin within your ColdFusion server. So we did; using another authentication application (IIS-based) that basically protects the directory under which the admin pages resides. However since the authentication application is in essence an organization-wide app, anyone with a valid username and password can still get to the admin pages. Thus we have reduced the set of attackers from the whole world to just the people at our organization. We then wanted to specify a restricted set of users (the authorization component) using the application.cfm within cfide/administrator. However these files are all encrypted (posibly for IP reasons.) What can we do in such a case?

In simple terms, the radio button for option1 will be named form.option1(when the action page sees it) and it's value will be #form.option1#.

storing query results while paging through
All, I don't use session variables at all, but this might a good time to use them. I have a search page that takes in a search term, runs a query and then displays the results. The user is allowed to click into a result and then page through the search resultset while in a result (via Previous/Next controls). Since I don't store the query results anywhere, I basically run that query every single time that the user presses Previous or Next (just so that I can find out where the user is while s/he is paging through and what the previous and next results are.)

Re: storing query results while paging through
Justin, Suppose the query is named 'getResults' and I have enabled the cachedwithin attribute. Say user1 comes along and searches for 'Portugal'. The query 'getResults' is cached. Then user2 comes along and searches for 'Spain'. This happens while user1 is paging through the resultset for 'Portugal'. Then user3 comes along (while the sessions for user1 and user2 are still on) and searches for 'Argentina'. What happens to the cache for 'getResults' while all this is happening?

For the past 2 months, I have been intermittently getting email that was addressed to georgeabraham(AT)gmail.com. I kept wondering why I am getting this person's email. I finally decided to complain about/investigate it. I found this in Gmail's FAQ. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10313bug=1query=messages+dotctx=bugflow Is this acceptable?

multiple uploads and cffile and cfmx instances
All, This is a bit of strange bug that we noticed recently. Out infrastructure is on CFMX 7.01 Enterprise with 6 instances of CFMX running on the same IIS server with about 20 websites. I was testing a multiple upload Java applet that was working fine on my small CFMX developer test box. After transferring it to a staging site on the infrastructure, I noticed that the multiple uploads were not working. So I changed the applet to a bunch of HTML inputs (type=file) to see what happened then. The same error happens. The error is this: JRun Servlet error: 500 unexpected end of part I tried everything that I could think of to see if there was a problem in the code. Everytime there was a single upload, it worked. But multiple uploads all crashed. I then transferred the code to another CFMX instance on the same server. And it worked fine without a hitch. So we tried to wipe out the buggy CFMX instance, installed another instance with the same name as that instance and it failed yet again on the multiple uploads. Anybody have any ideas?

cffile upload large files again!
All, For uploading multiple files to the server, we use a Java applet which works quite well. Now, the sizes of the files could vary. People might upload 10 files that are 2MB each or 100 files that total about 200MB together. Sometime people could even upload about a gig of files if they so liked and wanted to wait that long, I expect. Anyway, when I last used cffile for upload for large files (using CF 4.5, if you please), there were all sorts of crappy issues you had to deal with. Are there still issues with using cffile for large files? I recently tested out the app with about 175MB of files with the largest file being about 76 MB abd the CF server crapped out on me. Looked up the application log and there wasn't one line of log in there that said anything significant happened. Am I better off using the FileReader class in Java? Or any other option?

Re: cffile upload large files again!
Thanks Dave, I don't see any UDFs on cflib that deal with what you talk about, though? I searched using various terms, but nothing turned up. I do understand what you say about streaming the file while uploading. Can this be done using the java.io.InputStream class? George On 12/7/05, Dave Carabetta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would absolutely look into alternative solutions to cffile in this case. Remember, the cffile tag reads the *entire* file into memory (if it can) and only then does the action request. I'll bet money that your crap out was an OutOfMemory error at the Java level -- you were just looking at the wrong log file, which is why you didn't see it. If you're serious about allowing uploads of the sizes you're talking about, then streaming the file will be much more efficient. There are some UDFs at cflib.org to help you out with this. Also, if you're using MX 7, there is a new memory throttle on the Settings page called Maximum size of post data to help prevent against DoS attacks. Make sure that you up the default 10MB setting to the size of the largest file you anticipate to accept, or you'll hit that road block as well.

Then the first time that this gets built, just concatenate all the results of the 35 tables together and dump it into SearchTerms with the RecordID. If you have a lastUpdated field in your db for that record, next time you want to update the SearchTerms field, simply run a query that checks to see what records were updated in (say) the last 24 hours and run the 35-table join only for those records to update the Searchable table.

To avoid the confusion when dealing with numerous instances, I usually turn on each built-in webserver for each instance, and set unique ports for every one, (e.g., 8510, 8511, 8512, etc) regardless of whether they are all independent and each configured for external webserver instances or whether they are clustered and configured collectively for one webserver instance. Then test a sample page outside the CFAdmin using the built-in webserver on its unique port to continue the guarantee that you are testing the intended server. -Steven Erat On 12/6/05, George Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, We are running CFMX Enterprise with multiple instances of CFMX on 5 different servers.

Re: Ceiling of Verity collections...
It also depends on what your scale of collections are. If you are going to hit the ceiling of 250,000 objects sooner than you think, then you might be better off looking at Lucene or using a Google search appliance, depending on the money you have to throw at this. We currently use Lucene in conjunction with CFMX and it is an absolute joy. If I had enough time, I would write an entire process of how to do this, since it can get really irritiating for someone trying to do it. By the way, I am not using it to index web pages, I am using it to index databases.

To be honest I don't know. I haven't used either of them.

All, CFMX 7 on Win 2000 (a test server). I wrote a Java program and compiled it on the server under another user account (not the one running the CFMX service). The program compiled correctly and I was able to run it using the command line. Now it imports some specific java libraries that are not in the JRE. I want to be able to run this Java class peridocally so I thought I could simply add a CF task that cfexecutes the class using the cmd.exeprogram. I know that this might be a security issue. I have two questions: 1. Is it a security issue? If so, how else can I run the Java class? It is a normal java program with a main() method that directs various methods. 2. If not a security issue, does the account that runs CFMX (currently a local system account) have to be one that is not a system account?

calling java class from CFMX
All, CFMX 7 on Win 2000 (a test server). I wrote a Java program and compiled it on the server under another user account (not the one running the CFMX service). The program compiled correctly and I was able to run it using the command line. Now it imports some specific java libraries that are not in the JRE. I want to be able to run this Java class peridocally so I thought I could simply add a CF task that cfexecutes the class using the cmd.exeprogram. I know that this might be a security issue. I have two questions: 1. Is it a security issue? If so, how else can I run the Java class? It is a normal java program with a main() method that directs various methods. 2. If not a security issue, does the account that runs CFMX (currently a local system account) have to be one that is not a system account? I am currently running the cfexecute by calling the complete classpath that is required for the java program to execute. However I am just getting a blank page and nothing else.

Re: Philosophy Q: SP's or CFQUERY?
I do second the too lazy to write SQL code if I don't have to. I have recently had the luxury of having in my team a person who is more DB-aware than I am. So now I just write library CFCs that have functions that call the SPs. Periodically when I see that there is a one-off query that really does not need to be an SP, then I write it myself. The decision to do this is totally subjective though. I would be interested in seeing if there are really objective reasons to convert some 'inline' queries to SPs. For example, how does one decide if the following inline queries are to be coverted to SPs: 1. A query that returns a list of FileTypes from a table FileType that populates the cffile 'accept' attribute. 2. A query that returns a particular record to display it in the browser. So it is a simple 'SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeTableID = 'whatever(with cfquerparam)' 3. A query that has to update a table Order_Item (say) with OrderID and ItemID, but first has to delete all the relevant ItemIDs for a particular OrderID before running the update (actually new inserts). Sorry if any of the above does not make sense. It's been a long day already.

Re: SQL Server 2000 Full-text search issues
Russ, I am probably a bad SQL coder, but almost all the code that I had to do with searching structured databases had about 3 times the amount of CF code interspersed with the SQL queries. Most of the time, my customers want a single search box which can take all kinds of searches. When they enter a phrase, then I have to capture the fact that it is a phrase and conduct the query one way. Now since they want some result, if not for the phrase alone but its constituents, then I have to separate that out and conduct a different search. The CONTAINS query in SQL does a lot, especially in terms of focussed results. But when it does not work for us when we want any old result that remotely has to do anything with the entered search term. I might be talking through my hat here, but I searched long and hard for answers to my problems with full-text search in SQL Server. A simple statistic (albeit anecdotal): When I was working with SQL Server FTS, I was fine-tuning a search for a client who called about once every 2 days about some result that she wanted that wasn't being captured by the query when she entered the search term. Then I would scramble around the code (both SQL and CFML) trying to make sure that everything would not break and at the same time, I could accomodate this request. After about 2 months of this, I switched to Lucene and now? Not a peep out of her! Granted there were some things I did better the second time round, but I was happy, and so was she.

post-upload file validation
All, We are allowing upload of files (a multiple file-upload, actually). Once the files are uploaded, short of looking at the file extension, are there any other ways of truly recognizing the file-type of an uploaded file? I am assuming that cffile's 'accept' attribute does the same file-extension checking. Thanks, George ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: CFC caching?
Isaac, SQL Server 2K. I renamed the stored procedure name in the cffunction, not in the db. It is in the application scope, but how does one recreate it - simply set it to null? I did have to restart the CF server service to get rid of this finally. I guess I am really curious why there is no info on this anywhere. At least I can't find any. Seems to me that no one else has run into this while developing CFCs. I change my stored procs so many times, that using CFCs this way would have me restart the CF service every so often. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong somewhere. A related question: would you instantiate an object that does auditing in the application scope or in the session scope? Initially I thought that since auditing is individual for every user, it should be in the session scope, but then some examples seem to suggest that instantiating it in the application scope is fine. Thanks, George On 9/15/05, S. Isaac Dealey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What database? And how did you rename the procedure? I would say make sure you recreate the CFC object if it's stored in a shared scope (like say the application scope) but since the spelling was changed in the db and not in the CFC that shouldn't be relevant.

Re: CFC caching?
Isaac, rather than in the CFC... Once I know the name change occurred in the CFC, then shared-scopes is the first thing that comes to mind for me. Ahh, good, finally a phrase I can search on! :-) I'd have to know more about the specifics of your application to give a really useful opinion on that... What kind of audit is this, where/how is the audit used? If it's just to get a query for a report, then there's a good chance using a CFC is overkill (unless you're building it into a larger object that performs other related tasks). Maybe audit is a bad word to choose. Logging is a better word. The CFC would log specific actions that a user took so as to provide a log of the actions to the user when requested. A sort of history, if you will.

Makes sense! Thanks for all your recommendations, people! George On 9/15/05, Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey George... Trust me, you ain't the only one. ;) A CFC is executable CF so when you create an instance in a shared scope, that instance is created with the codebase in existance at the time it was instantiated. When you update the text in the code base, that does not update the contents of the CFC that's in a shared scope. In order to do that you have to use code like below, or restart the server. I assume you have this CFC in the application or session scope, yes? Try this: cfif structKeyExtists(url,reinit) cfset session.myLogger = createObject(component,my.logger.path.to.the ).init() /cfif (be sure to add locking. and be sure to use the right scope left of the equal sign.) ;) Then go to your page and add ?reinit=1 to the URL. Voila... As far as which scope to use... don't feel restricted. There's no reason you couldn't call application.logger.logUserAction(), for one thing. For another, if you have a logger class that's portable, why not use it in the app AND session scopes -- if, that is, they're doing different things. Just be sure that the primary methods in your application scope are thread safe ( i.e. use locking where required and accept parameters, use the var keyword, draw constants from the logger's instance data but don't affect that instance data).

Re: SQL count of rows from a union query
Mark, I am trying to return multiple rows of similarly typed data, specifically one column named ObjectID. Only, instead of deriving the number of rows from a getResults.RecordCount, I want to do it in the SQL query itself. Your suggestion will not weed out the duplicate instances of ObjectID which a UNION would accomplish. Thanks though, it would have worked save for the fact that the database was not the best conceived. I am having the deuce of a time doing any reporting.

That's not what you are trying to do here. -mk Mark A.

Greg, It fails even with a SELECT * FROM (SELECT UNION SELECT). George On 7/7/05, Greg Morphis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: could you put it in a 3rd query? Something like..
