Re: Fusebox Web Site Design Contest Announced
I've read this thread over, start to finish... Andy, I don't know how to tell you this, but you're a massive hypocrite. Entering contests that you declare to be a bad idea and then rationalizing it? Where are you standards, man? Where are your ethics? I choose to believe that you're well-meaning here... but you're holding Ray a different standard than everyone else in one post, in another you're lumping him into the rest of it, and in yet another you're admitting that you've participated in his contests!!! Make up your mind! Also, nobody from Team Fusebox makes any money off Fusebox, so if you do something for the framework, don't expect to make anything off any of it... if you HAPPEN to score a ticket, be a happy camper, say thanks, and join the rest of us in working for somethingn big to support the community. For. Free. The contest is an INCENTIVE, not profit. You MIGHT get something, so do something or not, but help? And if you need a ticket to a conference and can't afford one/don't have an employer to pay for one, then try it... see if it works out for you. Anway, while I choose to believe you're well-meaning here, you're also blatantly fully of crap and slinging garbage around the community. This is a subject fully covered by free will, free markets and free minds... if you don't like it, don't do it. Granted, you're fully entitled by the laws of your country to whine as you have. Your freedom to espouse bulls***t is the same freedom enjoyed by those of us that are involved with Fusebox and able to put on a contest. A community contest. One that allows people to be creative and helpful at the same time. And, possibly, get some free tickets out of it. Can you afford to pay for these 3 tickets on your own? Do you think you might benefit from attending? Well, if the answer is no and yes, you might enter. You MIGHT win. You might NOT. That's the risk and the reward of *contest* and, frankly, your repeated assertion that you have to do work with no guarantee of winning is something you accept when you participate in a CONTEST. You might run a race. You might win. You might not. Better to stay sitting down. Your whole rationale is circular, capricious, selective and, really... Stupid. Sorry. It's the only word I can come up with. The thing you lack is community spirit. The thing you have is overriding self-interest. You have them backwards... get with the groove, relax, have some fun. Or dont. Up to you. Give the rest of us, though, a break. Thanks.

Re: CFC caching?
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). In general, anyway. Laterz, J On 9/15/05, George Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Isaac, SQL Server 2K. I renamed the stored procedure name in the cffunction, not in the db.

A related question: would you instantiate an object that does auditing in the application scope or in the session scope?

Re: XML xmlText or Attributes
When it comes to using things like XSLT, XPath, and other things, using attributes becomes important. Really, in general you want attributes to describe the data that the xmlText contains, and you want to use your attributes to help you sort, filter, and extract your data. For instance, in an XSL transform, you can use xsl:sort select=[EMAIL PROTECTED] / as a valid expression... in other words, it'll sort by an attribute of an element, but it won't sort by xmlText (at least that I know of... I could be way wrong.) So you describe the data with your attributes and you deliver the data with xmlText.

Re: Including App.cfc in App.cfc
I suppose, depending on the needs of the specific application you could go either way. If your Application.cfc's all inherited from a specific ApplicationProxy.cfcthen you could make global changes easily without being forced to change the Application.cfc in your root. But, if you have one Application.cfc that needs to be the parent of all of them, having your proxy inherit from it would also make sense.

Re: best way to invoke a cfc
Hey Dave,
Just a quick note to clarify... the end result of any call to a CFC is an
instance of an object.
Whether you're using cfinvoke, cfobject, or createObject(), you're still
creating an instance of an object that can be used to store data and execute
methods.
The difference is how that object works. Some objects are stateless (i.e.
they don't store data and they generally have a minimal lifespan), and
others are stateful (i.e. they do store data and they're the kind of object
you'd keep in the application or session scope). If you have something like
math.cfc, and it has a method called addition(), it might work like this:
cfset num1 = 10
cfset num2 = 11
cfinvoke component=math method=addition number1=#num1#
number2=#num2 returnvariable=added /
Internally, addition has this to say:
cffunction name=addition
cfargument name=number1 type=numeric /
cfargument name=number2 type=numeric /
cfreturn arguments.number1+arguments.number2 /
/cffunction
That's a method where CFMX would create the object, do the calculation,
return the data, and then destroy the object... but internally CFMX still
has an instance of math.cfc.
That process is less efficient under load because of the need to read the
file and operate on it before executing the method in question, so often we
put instances of things in the application scope and session scope... but,
functionally, it's still doing the same thing. Even if it's in the
application scope on a shared server, unless there's confidential data (bad,
bad idea) or a danger that just reading the info might cause, it's not a bad
thing really.
The CFINVOKE tag above is functionally exactly the same as this:
cfset added=createObject{component,math).addition(num1,num2)
For any practical purpose, that is identical to cfinvoke (except it's
shorter hehe). Because the variable named added ends up containing
whatever addition() returns, it's a numeric value. You don't end up with a
live instance of an object unless your cfreturn / returns an object...
like this:
cfreturn this /
or
cfreturn createObject(component,someOtherObject).init(num1,num2)
You just need to be careful what you expose by caching... and do everything
you can to get a dedicated server. ;)
Laterz,

Subject: RE: best way to invoke a cfc
On a shared server, it's important to ensure that a unique name is used.
If you have a mapping or a custom tag path, putting a unique directory
name in the calling path and then using the dotted notation (e.g.
myuniquename.somecfc) helps. If not, you have to rely on the default
searching mechanism and hope it gets the right one, so prefacing the CFC
filename with your account name may help (e.g.
myaccountname_somecfc.cfc).
As for DreamWeaver, you could cache the cfc in the application scope, if
that's appropriate, so that it is only instantiated once when you change
it (but then when you do change it you have to manually delete it from
the application scope again). Of course this has implications on a
shared server when the code goes live, in that anyone on that server has
access to your application scope if they want it.

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: cfchart not working on new server
Actually this is starting to make sense... If you add /CFIDE as a virtual dir and add GraphData.cfm to it, then IIS won't balk as per the other message in this thread (can't recall who posted it), but will allow the URL to be executed. Then, since the URL is actually a Jrun servlet mapping, Jrun itself never tries to execute the physical file because the servlet mapping fires. So by adding a virtual directory of CFIDE and adding that cfm template, you're satisfying IIS to let it pass the URL along to Jrun... which then handles the call without ever even looking at the physical files. If I were you, I'd fix the issue outlined in the message posted about the IIS issue not executing missing files rather than adding a CFIDE virtual directory to all your sites... Just my 2 cents.

Re: chr(10) AND CFSCRIPT
That will work in most browsers, Windows or otherwise, because they all seem
to interpret chr(10) as enough for a newline even if the OS demands a cr-lf
combination for a valid line break.
But if you're creating PDFs, you'll probably want writeOutput('some text
here' chr(10) chr(13)) just to make sure that you're feeing it valid
linefeeds. You may check the PDF documentation (what there is of it, anyway)
to see exactly what character combo it wants for a newline. Generally, the
character sets are as follows:
Mac: cr
Win: cr-lf
*NIX: lf
It's kinda twitchy, and a PITA, to get the characters just right...
experiment and see what you come up with.

I kinda hope you're not suggesting you buy licenses for 6.0? Gads, man... don't be rediculous! It's not available at MM anymore at all, so you're looking at second-hand (Ebay?) or some other vendor that may still have a copy or two.

Re: cfchart not working on new server
Allan:
Regarding #2 below, I assume you mean create a virtual directory of /CFIDE
that points to CFIDE in the system?
CF mappings on Standard are server-wide, and they're server-wide on
Enterprise unless you're using Sandboxing to lock them down. If you create a
virtual directory, all your servers will be able to hit
http://my.url.com/cfide/administrator/index.cfm, whereas using a mapping
enables just directory access without exposing CFIDE in the webroot of the
application. Having the files accessible from the cfchart tag should only
need the mapping because it relies on the accessibility of the files, not on
being able to use them in a browser. And if you're using mappings, you only
need 1 per CF instance, barring any sandboxing.
Also, anything you need universally can go in {cfhome}\wwwroot because
that's basically a universal mapping. If you put CFIDE in it, beware,
though...by default it will be available to the browser from all sites, all
URLs connected to that CF instance via a webserver connector.
Now JrunScripts is a different matter, because for some reason that's always
a virtual directory... when you create it (in each site that will be
accessing CF), you're going to need to edit the properties and add the Jrun
Server Filter in the ISAPI filters tab and in the Virtual Directory
properties tab for the directory click Remove against the application
attributes and uncheck Read.
If you check your wwwroot/web-inf/web.xml file, you'll see that
GraphData.cfm is a servlet mapping, so adding a CF template to /cfide
wouldn't do much. It's the same as IDE.cfm, which is the servlet mapping for
RDS... these can be executed from a browser via the URL specified, but
they're trapped by Jrun and mapped out to specific servlets for special
handling. It's basically Jrun spoofing a CFM template to the CF server.
Matthew, you said these image files were being created correctly, right? Do
they look like they should even if they're not being sent back to the
browser? Have you checked (or had the host check) windows and CF error logs?
There should be something. If the issue was the result of a headless Win
install, chances are that the graphing subsystem would fail during CFMX
bootstrap... that's how it works on Linux, and also the primary cause of
CFCHART issues on linux. People fail to understand that CFMX needs the basic
X libraries to get cfchart to work.
If you do a view source after hitting a page that's got a CFChart in it, you
should see some URL information that's used to transfer the images/movies
from the Chart servlet to the browser... trying hitting that URL alone and
seeing what error message you get. Go from there, paying particular
attention to paths, virtual or otherwise, that are missing or incorrect.
Good luck!

What you have to do is.

Re: mx 6 licenses?
And, just to complicate matters... :) CFMX 7 is the same price as 6.1, so if you go with 7 you'll get an extra upgrade cycle and a lot of benefits in terms of functionality and power. Unless you're looking to pick up 6.0 licenses on the cheap just because it's a deprecated product, I'd highly recommend 7 just because of the deprecation likelihood of 6.1 in future upgrade cycles. If you need licensed versions of a CF engine, look at BlueDragon Standard... which happens to be quite speedy and powerful, but also happens to be free.

Then, when someone cheats, let loose the Corporate Hounds to chew their asses. I mean, frankly, if management isn't taking this seriously enough to have a talk with those doing the cheating, then the project is pretty well defeated before it starts.

Re: Dealing with users
Great idea unless someone does really well on the one real review filed and everyone else cheats below 3. Then you've got someone who's really getting screwed because the math just doesn't work. I kind of like reporting all the data and several views of it. But I still favor a personalized report... I have to create an account. My name and employee number are linked to the data, but the application keeps the data private. Each survey I fill out is registered under me and my averages are shown... average scores given per category, high/low scores given per category... I KNOW that this data can be seen and after cheating on 4 of them I see that my average, high, and low are all 4... and I start to worry. I'm given one chance by the system to fix each survey, and as the system watches me fill them out it can email me to say It's obvious you're not taking this seriously. A copy of this email has been sent to your supervisor, and you have 24 hours to redo these surveys: link, link, link. Non-compliance is grounds for severance (our choice of limbs), termination (and no, you won't be back), firing (would you like a last cigarrette?), and a good, old-fashioned ass-kicking in front of (or, more likely... BY...) the senior management staff. Each survey filled out about me is viewable by me (except the names of those filling them out).. along with all my averages, highs, lows, blah blah blah.

Re: CFMX 6.1, WSDL, and JSessionID's
Jordan, For ever session, CF creates cfid and cftoken, url_token, and Jrun (if using J2EE sessions) adds a jsessionid as well. Those are going to always be the same IDs across that single session provided that you have setclientcookies=true in your Application.cfm/.cfc or you're correctly passing url_token around in your links and relocates. So you could use #cfid#_#cftoken# or #jsessionid# (just cfdump the session scope to see its exact contents) to accomplish this. If it's not maintaining your sessions, then you have a different problem and I'd study up on the particulars of the cfapplication tag or application.cfc to make this work.

You could save the XML files, create a developer edition of 6.1, upgrade that to 7, and then deploy with the resulting XML files, except they contain pathing information and so on that would make this a very touchy issue. You might be better off to just take notes and deploy by hand. Hopefully, one of the Macromedia CFMX product people (Tim? Oh, Tim?) will stop in and see this question.

I've had this happen when I'm editing /site/test/my.cfc and trying to run /site/cfc/my.cfc... just a thought. You might try CFDUMPing the page context's getBuiltinScopes() results (cfdump var=#getPageContext().getBuiltinScopes()# /) to see what's going on in the page. I'd also recommend something like a test.cfm that calls the CFC in question. Do something to provoke an error, maybe... like temporarily change the name of the CFC file, just to see what happens.

Re: New to CFMX - session problem
Actually CF's sessioning has always been via cookies which have a 20-minute lifespan (or as configured via sessiontimeout or the CFAdmin). Since 3.1.1, anyway, sessions have outlasted the browser being closed by the value of the timeout... that is, the session will die 20 minutes or sooner after shutting the browser down, depending on how long it's been since the last activity on the site. Afaik, when using J2EE sessions they should expire when the browser closes because J2EE sessions are in-memory cookies. You could also try using cfapplication's setclientcookies=false attribute to prevent them being set at all, but that'll mean you need to append url_token to your links and includes to keep the sessions intact as the user navigates your site. Hitting a link with no ID/Token will kill the session and cause a new one to be created. Hth, J On 5/23/05, Mike Klostermeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I upgraded a server from CF 4.5 to MX 6.1.

Re: CFMX 6.1, WSDL, and JSessionID's
Jordan... That's kinda strange. My first thought would be that the webservice would be setting that cookie to a namespace in CFMX, not at the browser where it needs to be to stay connected to that user... if that's even possible. Um... you could try CFDUMPing the results of the first webservice call to see if you see a jsessionid, and then set it to a cookie yourself. I'm just not sure how you'd pass that back into the webservice. Is this a CF webservice or some other technology? It would probably work like a cookie being set as a result of a cfhttp call... it would exist in the headers immediately after the call, but would be discarded once that cfhttp struct was destroyed (like... on the next request).

It does this by attempting to set a jsessionid cookie on the first search request, then, if the web service is invoked again using the NextPage method it tries to access that jsessionid cookie. I guess it boils down to how CFMX processes its invokes. If a web service attempts to set a cookie like that, does CFMX retain the cookie? Or is cookie data ignored?

Are you guys going Enterprise, or Standard? Because Ent includes Gateways and the instance manager in 7. Big big big difference.

Re: CFHTTP and forms
It's possible they're using the image field to verify the validity of the
form post, but unless that IS the case that image field is just a colorful
submit button.
If you really want to try messing with the form name, you're going to have
to figure out what sort of header value it is and use a different type in a
cfhttpparm tag. I don't know which one it is, but that'd be about the only
way to do it. Still... I haven't ever seen that be an issue. I'd start with
adding the image tag... just for the sake of protocol, but I doubt that's
going to be your fix.
You might see better success if you were to carefully examine what's
happening on the target page. There may be user agent checking on the other
end and you'll have to use the useragent= attribute of the cfhttp tag.
There could also be IP-based restrictions, cgi-scope checking, and/or a few
other things they used to insure against cross-site scripting.
Your process is going to be:
cfsilent
cfhttp...{extra params if need be}
cfhttpparams...
/cfhttp
/cfsilentcfoutput#cfhttp.filecontent#/cfoutput
Good luck,
J

Wayne:
I can't say that this is the problem, but your CFHTTP code is not passing
any values from the Image form field. Image form elements act as pseudo
Submit buttons except that, instead of just passing back a single value
(the
value of the Submit button), they pass back the (x,y) coordinates of the
location on the image that the user clicked. Try adding the following 2
lines of code between your CFHTTP tags:
cfhttpparam name=1234.x type=FormField value=0
cfhttpparam name=1234.y type=FormField value=0
These will let the product.php page know that the user clicked on the
image
at coordinates (0,0). Note that the name for each is 1234.x and 1234.y
.
The 1234 part is because that is the name assigned to the Image in the
form. the .x and .y indicate the associated value's axis.

Re: text formatting
I'll second FCKEditor, and add that HTMLArea and {the other one} are all
great for that sorta thing... platform loyalist pissing contests aside. They
all have a place and they all fill that niche well. FCKEditor is rather like
StudioMX... the Total Package. HTMLArea is a much lighter and more limite
product, which makes it great when you just need WordPad instead of
Microsoft Office 2016.
The nice thing about FCKEditor, though, is that it DOES accept copy/paste
and will render anything you paste into it. It'll even take copy/paste from
Word (though I haven't messed with that functionality).

Re: why use coldfusion 7?
Mike... I just checked and the licenses for 6.1 and 7 are both $1299 USD... and Application.cfc, query metadata, the exstensively enhanced list of built-in functions, the ability to override a system function by name (i.e. I can write my own getAuthUser() method and CFMX will let me), CFDOCUMENT, the report generator, and the extensive performance increases aren't baubles. Hell, the addition of XML as a datatype to CFARGUMENT and CFFUNCTION types is more useful than Flash forms. MX7 has an enhanced AXIS engine that permits wider use of web services (like PayPal's webservice API... breaks on 6.1, works on 7). XML validation as part of the XML functions... the upgrade touches almost every aspect of being a CF developer. While you CAN continue to build fantastic web applications in 6.1 (and I continue to), working with 7 is a dream. It's 6.1in terms of stability and 100% more in terms of the fixes, updates, enhancements, and new things they included. You only gain moving directly to MX7... speed, performance, and not having to upgrade twice. If all else fails, give your boss my phone number... or just these URLs: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentationfile=0212.htm#wp2462082 http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentationfile=0374.htm#wp3532531 And always remind him...

Re: transparent png for ie hack
Dave, If you had a cfm template that had the following code: cffile action=read file=#url.filename# variable=image / cfcontent type=image/jpeg /cfoutput#image#/cfoutput And then you had another CFM template in the same directory that had the following code: img src=img.cfm?filename=D:\LocalFiles\My%20Pictures\DSC7.JPG / You'd see the image (this happens to be a picture of my friends 26-pound housecat... big, big, big cat) in your browser exactly as you'd see it if you called the image directly. Your browser uses an HTTP GET to nab the image, so call to the template img.cfm is an HTTP GET and the CF engine processes it and sends the image back to the calling template (the one with the img tag in it). The PHP script would do the same thing... so you could use img src=img.php?image=some path / to get the image file directly from PHP. If you wanted to use cfhttp to get the image, then your code in img.cfm would look like this: cfhttp url=http://whatever.url.com/someFile.php?image=imagepath; / cfcontent type=image/jpeg /cfoutput#cfhttp.filecontent#/cfoutput In this case, since PHP and CF are running on the same box, you could only use img.php directly if you used a relative path in your image tag: img src=/phpstuff/img.php just remember that src can be a URL... http://yadda.server.whatever/someImage.jpg (or cfm or php) and your browser will fetch the content for the image from that URL... so it even resolves URL variables and so on. Or you could use cfhttp and url=http:127.0.0.1/yadda/img.phphttp://127.0.0.1/yadda/img.php to get to the same file... it's up to you how you implement it.

Re: cfcontent vs cflocation
puzzled Hugo... ummm... CFLOCATION to where? CFLOCATION does a client-side redirect via headers (similar to a meta redirect). CFCONTENT sets the mime type of the content stream that gets returned to the browser (hence making a CFM template look like a JPG or a PDF). Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I don't see how their functionality could be analagous. Maybe a bit more explanation?

Re: Server Scope
Till the server reboots... it doesn't have a lifespan setting other than I'll be here till the server reboots. You could use any number of mechanisms to refresh it... As far as whether or not to create a CFC instance in the server scope there's no reason not to. You need to be aware of various conflicts that might occur... so I'd recommend named locks around any code that alters the data if there's a chance that more than one actor will try to alter the data. Basically, all the scopes are there to be used... my philosophy is to use them (except client... outside very specific circumstances.)

OK, one last followup... I just tested it using UNC to hit a file located on the same machine I've got CF Dev edition running on... and it worked. This is MX 7. So we at least know that MX 7 can do it if it has the right privs. So I'm guessing what you're experiencing is privs... what you could do is create a user account for CFMX on the server and have it run under that account intstead of.. oh... duh... Local Service isn't going to have foreign privs anyway. Sorry... you'll definitely have to create a domain account for CFMX to run under, then give that account privileges to access the file you want. Let me know if you need more help.

Re: CFFILE destination error
If you're still running CFMX under the System account (assuming CFMX on
Win), then it won't have access to foreign folders at all.
\D:\ or \D$\?
You need to test this against \\localhost\{drive}$\folder or change the
account under which CFMX runs (available via properties for that service in
the Services control panel) to access share points on remote boxes.

Oh, Fabio... use LOTS of CFLOG tags... I first had to use a TON of them to get some quirks out of CFMX 6.1 code for cflogin. Log pass/fail, before/after, anywhere you can trap the difference between one state and another, log it. And you might want to use cfif structKeyExists(form,j_username) and NOT len(getAuthUser()) instead of cfif NOT isDefined(cflogin)... it reverses your logic a bit, but it should still work. I also don't include the form inside cflogin. I use cfif not len(getAuthUser())cflinclude.../cfif to include the login form and cfif structKeyExists(form,j_username) inside my cflogin tag. Maybe later I can send you my cflogin code... Laterz, J On 5/4/05, Fabio Terracini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really odd! Jared, I'm not using onSessionStart, neither onSessionEnd.

When the browser close, both login and sessions are ended anyway. I did some test, setting output=yes on onRequestStart, and tracing weather block of code is beeing executed or not. When the problem occurs, the user doesn't enter the cflogin block as it should, which is weird, since he isn't logged in. If he was logged, the login form won't display: the user will enter the system directly. Anyway, just a thought: the problem seems to be with cflogin, since when the user tries to login again, he doesn't enter the cflogin block. This is way session variables aren't beeing setted. This is fine. But, why ain't enterting the cflogin block?

Dunno... cuz I'm a nitwit I guess.) and those n00bs who use PHP cuz it's free would have their teeth ripped out. I know of several colleges that offer CFMX classes as electives, not part of a CSci program, and that's a fine idea. I never had a CS class in my life... and I've had to struggle a lot. But, in point of fact, it all comes down to market penetration, leverage, and money. As for the screen real estate issue at MM.com... I seriously think that to proclaim to the world that a lack of front-page real estate is a sign of MM's mindset is overreaching yourself a bit, dude... back up a bit and let them speak for themselves.

Re: Basic web interface question
Either option 1 or a confirmation page... Your updates have been saved with a redirect to the original list page. I generally try to use something that keeps the architecture to a minimum and the user's experience very straightforward. If that means some extra work for me, that's fine because it generally results in a more optimal experience for the user. Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is the fact that too often we try to save work for ourselves... what's the point? It's great to keep development time down (and especially on-budget) but if the net effect reduces the pleasantness of the user's experience, I see myself as having failed miserably. It goes back to the ideas presented in a post on Hal Helms's blog about his frustrations with phone support at a hotel chain.

Re: ColdFusion MX 6.1 and 7 on the same server
I don't see how this is going to kee mod_jrun from conflicting with mod_jrun in the same instance of Apache or the others. I've never done it before, but in theory, it would be fairly easy to set up 2 IP addresses on one interface, then bind one instance of apache to each, and then run CFMX 7 on one and 6.1 on the other. I've actually been contemplating setting up scripts to create instances of apache, MySQL, and CFMX on the same physical box, hence each application gets it's own virtual environment in every way. But, this would be easy enough once you had the details on creating multiple apache instances on the same server... just not something I've done before... it may be as simple as just having separate http.conf file for each instance. I'd check the apache docs.

Re: How to loop over this struct and give me a total?
Mostly because it's uber simple at this point and growing toward a deeper OO implementation and because it takes a great deal of explanation to take a strong CF developer to a well-formed OO implementation. For someone who's working with example code from some other source and getting intermittent output, pushing to far too fast only creates confusion. I think sometimes we answer questions that aren't being asked without realizing that they're not being asked because someone just hasn't gotten far enough into the technology to ask it. By answering it too soon we only create confusion for them. In this case, Will's working on a simple, one-off shopping cart for someone... it's good foundation, and like we all have, someday he'll look back at this and wince or at least smile and remember the good old days. The cart in this case is only one cart, and it contains a struct of products... so its getCartTotal method only has to total the subtotal values in each product. In other words there is only one cart to pass to the function, so the function might as well assume that for now and later, refactor refactor refactor. In all, what's most important is to not but The Cart before The Horse and get things even more muddled before it's been made to work the first time round. And just out of curiosity, how is that a best practice? I'm not sure I follow the logic... if I have one cart/session in session.cart, and I want a subtotal of that cart, how is session.cart.getTotal(session.cart) a best practice and who's best practice is it? ;) Laterz, J On 4/28/05, Joe Rinehart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Will, Why do you reference variables.cart in your function?

Re: Stupid XML question
Matt, for the struct output your page is showing you'd use ww_javagame.ww_cpid.value to get the value 0425070052843 BUT, why not just use xmlParse()? cfhttp url=http://my.xmlsource.com/page.xml; cfhttp.filecontent would then contain: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? ww_javagame ww_cpid 0425070052843 /ww_cpid ww_statuscode 2001 /ww_statuscode ww_statusmsg woo hoo /ww_statusmsg /ww_javagame cfset myXML = xmlParse(cfhttp.filecontent) cfdump var=#myXML # label=myXML This will result in a few things, one of which is slighly more complicated paths in the XML object generated by CFMX, but it will also make it possible for you to use things like XSLT via xmlTransform() and XPath via xmlSearch(). There's tons of info out there, and lots of XML users around (like me) who can help you if you need it. Now, using the method I outlined here (which is really more correct when using XML, because it's standards-compliant), you would use: myXML.ww_javagame.ww_cpid.xmlText to get the value: 0425070052843 If you take your cfdump output very literally, you'll get to just the data you need to, including attributes and elements. In XML: myXMLvalue type=stringthis is some text/myXMLvalue myXMLvalue is an element, type is an attribute and string is the value of the type attribute for the element myXMLvalue. this is some text is the xmlText value associated with the myXMLvalue element with a type attribute of string.

Numerical, not string literal cfset testVar = ucase(myvar) It doesn't do anything wrong in a test page, but it might be affecting the cfqueryparam tag... so give this a try: value=#ucase(toString(arguments.dataStruct.Tran_Code))# Also, do you have your cfargument tag's type= attribute set explicity to type=struct because that may be affecting things.

Re: ColdFusion MX 6.1 and 7 on the same server
It's tricky... There's a couple issues that are real gotchas doing things this way. The short answers are: Yes, CFMX 6.1 and 7 will co-exist on the same server, both running at the same time. No, without modification, the Jrun connectors won't load into Apache because the connector name jrun_module is owned by whichever loads first and there's only one internal namespace for Apache connectors. There's a couple things you can do: 1) In CFMX 6.1, unzip the ApacheModuleColdFusion.zip file, edit the source to change any reference to jrun_module to read cmfx_module, and compile the connector. Then use that new name in your apache vhost config. I'm not even sure if this is LEGAL by Macromedia's EULA for the connector, and it's certainly not supported. But, I played with it a while back and it works. Compile instructions are in the associated txt file in the zip or here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18748 It's nice, because you can load DSOs on a per-vhost basis... and use ifmodule to only load it if needed. Mind you, though, that even separate apache vhosts will share a common application scope because all CFMX variables are managed in CFMX's memory space, NOT apache's. 2) Quit using the connector altogether and use mod_proxy and mod_http_proxy to pass all requests for .cfm files to the CFMX server of your choice (based on your vhost's proxy config). For more info, see this: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/j2ee/articles/balancing_j2ee03.html The disadvantage is it's tricky to set up and get right. The major advantages are the ability to handle friendly URLs and even the fact that you can use any CFMX server you have access to... i.e. same box, different box, different network, etc. Very cool stuff.

Re: cfqueryparam and null values
I always forget that comparison operators generate a result Hence things are possible like: cfreturn myVar EQ 9 / or null=#myVar EQ 10# in cfqueryparam tags (null takes a string-literal representation of a boolean, hence that resolves to null=true or null=false). They generate a result as surely as math operators do... duh. I've been using iif(myVar EQ 10,DE(false),DE(true)) in this case... but I can quit that. NOW!

Re: Using Java Classes rather than CFC's?
Bob, After reading thru these code snippets and your summary, I think what you're asking is Why can I implement functionc in sampleb when samplea doesn't implement functionc at all, but does call it? Is that right? Short answers: CFMX's OO features are relatively new. Give it time, maybe it'll improve. Because CFMX is not Java. Because CFMX is not C++. Because CFMX is CFMX, and as such any implementations you do in CFMX must be done as though you were implementing in CFMX. First of all, a good number of folks have, as you say, implemented blind methods that simply throw an error in a base class, which naturally requires an overridden method wherever it's used in the implementation classes. So it can be done, even if it's not handled directly by the CFMX engine. Second, never having written more than about 200 lines of Java, and probably less than 50 altogether in C++, I may be not getting it when it comes to understanding why limiting things, especially when they're not broken but simply different than Java would actually be an improvement. There are rules... you just have to know what they are. It would be kinda handy sometimes to have interfaces, multiple inheritance, and/or real constructors... but, as you said in an earlier post, Java is a beast... so why would we want to take an awesome, loosely-typed implementation of something like the BCEL and turn it back into the beast? Its rules *are* loose, as is datatyping, and they're this way because CFMX isn't Java, it's a J2EE application that runs on a JRE. Why invent what would amount to a new syntax for Java when we could just keep using Java for writing Java and approach CFMX as something entirely different? Something to think about...

It has nothing to do with calling an overridden method in a child class - it's about calling functions in the child from the parent even if the function isn't defined in the parent.

Re: Is creating datasources locally different under jrun?
OOPS! My bad... Why are you using ODBC?? Go into the Administrator, go to Datasources, and in the dropdown click SQLOLEDB. Then configure your datasource with the same settings you would in the OS Control Panel... IP (generally most reliable), username, password... those are all you should *need*... but if you click Show Advanced Settings it'll give you more options. I recommend against changing any of the advanced settings unless you absolutely need to. However, using the ODBC Administrator is pre-CF5, for one thing... and a whole lot more work, for another... and it puts your CFMX instance (which has a FULL JDBC implementation) at the mercy of the OS. The built-in drivers will be more reliable, faster, and a lOT easier to configure. Go for it! Try something new!

Thanks Jared. I'm wishing I hadnt fallen for that old I use Apache
and it's a piece of cake rubbish now. For a coldfusion developer,
who has never had a lot of involvement with server administration,
specially in Unix, it's not a piece of cake at all.
[A] For example, what is 'UseCanonicalName Off'?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/quickreference.html
[B] Why do I have to have DNS entries for everything if I'm only using
my local folders, for local access, and nothing whatever to do with
the internet? And since I dont have my own DNS server set up on this
machine does that mean I have to have one now? Or do i have to add
entries for all these in an external DNS, which means they wont be
available when I'm offline, which was the whole point in the first
place - to set up my dev machine so i can run my dev versions of the
sites i'm working on.
Because DNS will match the request from the browser (for
http://intranet1 for example) to the machine that's running Apache
(127.0.0.1 for example), so that the browser even knows where to look
for the page! You have to have a host file entry (mini-static DNS-ey
sorta thing) for matching 127.0.0.1 to even get localhost to come up
even.
MS: [windows root]\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or you won't find anything.
Most UNIX: /etc/hosts
Like Chris said (but expanded a bit), make sure this line is in there:
127.0.0.1 localhost {myhostname} intranet clientsite1 clientsite2
Note: {myhostname} is symbolic for whatever your hostname really is.
[C] And what is this section about? IfModule mod_userdir.c
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/quickreference.html
Note: You CAN have different module definitions on a per-vhost basis...
[D] What does this line do: HostnameLookups Off I'd have thought
it does exactly the opposite of what I'm trying to do. But apparently
not.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/quickreference.html
Has to do with logging.
[E] My apache installation set up the default home page to be at
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs and that's where
localhost lands. ColdFusion also installed CFIDE and CFDOCs under
there too, but I dont think that's a very good place to be putting web
pages of any kind. I want to move it all to c:\sites.What does
that change?Where is your default home page, and CFIDE and CFDOCS?
There is no default home page or a default server... even in IIS,
the default site is really just a virtual host that is called
default for the sake of ease. In Apache, you have 2 choices... you
can run the default server based on the basic, pre-packaged
httpd.conf file. That gives you one server... http://yourhostname:80.
However, if you want to run several servers or virtual hosts (or
vhosts) you need to define a vhost entry for each of them.
When you create ONE VHOST, IT SHUTS OFF THE DEFAULT SERVER that would
have normally been at http://yourhostname:80, along with any
resolution that would have happened for things like Directory and/or
Alias directives in the httpd.conf file.
Hence, you will need to have a vhost section in your config file for
any URL you wish to access... http://hostname, http://intranet,
http://clientsite1, http://clientsite2... all will need to have a
vhosts section, and a directory section in order to tell Apache that
it's ok to let browsers access those folders.
These settings, when in default server mode (i.e. no vhosts defined),
are activated via the body of the httpd.conf file... however, when you
define ONE VHOST, they will ALL need to be defined per-vhost:
DocumentRoot
DirectoryIndex
ServerName
ServerAlias
ServerAdmin
Directory
Alias
Order
Allow
Please note: This means that if you have intranet and clientsiteX in
your vhost configs and nothing with a ServerName directive of
myhostname (i.e. your host's hostname), then typing http://myhostname
will, indeed, fail. There is no default when using vhosts.
For more info on any of those directives, see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/quickreference.html
Sorry for being so dumb on this, but every time I think i have it
worked out, another 50 or 60 parameters emerge that I have no idea
about and I've never seen before. Not even in the sample httpd:conf.
Aye, it happens...
But I do appreciate your efforts on this. It's a big help to a poor
old confused developer.
Glad to help.
Laterz!

Re: OT: need a little help with Apache please
You're probably going to need a bit more data in you vhost configurations... i.e. Allow and/or Deny configs, but otherwise you should be fine... The DNS/Hostfiles suggestion is a good suggestion... I hadn't thought of that. :) But... you might also want to add DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html to each. It's important to remember that as soon as you add a vhost entry to your config Apache quits resolving any of your default server entries, so you will need to have any settings required to make a default server work in each vhost. This URL could be quite helpful... http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html Note the ServerAlias setting, which allows you to use multiple names per vhost... i.e. you can have multiple hosts per server when using a vhost setup. Also important to note is this: Main host goes away If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must also create a VirtualHost block for the existing host. The ServerName and DocumentRoot included in this virtual host should be the same as the global ServerName and DocumentRoot. List this virtual host first in the configuration file so that it will act as the default host. I don't think your localhost config is going to work as a default site, because the default server goes away... Gotta run, but I hope that helps... Laterz!

Re: CF Database Question
Ali, Wow... ummm... that's a shocker. As far as isolation levels... umm... which is worse: A performance Drop Perpetually Corrupted Data I have to say that to have the DB set up so that this could happen at all is a matter of concern for me. It doens't sound like a sound design. I hope that wasn't too blunt, but this should have happened to begin with. You've got a limited number of choices, and CFTransaction won't help unless you set the isolation level high enough that the next query can't write until the first query's data has been comitted. Read_comitted should be close enough, and give you less of a performance hit than serializable... but without reworking some things I'm afraid there's not a lot that can be done otherwise. You could set up an On Insert trigger to generate a UUID You could add an auto-incremented field You could add a date-time field with a default value of getdate() you could add an inserted-by field that carries the application name and cftoken values There's many different ways you could structure this to keep the data unique even IF the records end up with a confict such as you've encountered. I would HIGHLY recommend you add a UNIQUE constraint to the column in question as well... to prevent such duplicates in the future. You could code your create routine, then to try to insert, and in CFCATCH type=database check for whatever you need to see if a duplicate entry was attempted to be inserted in a column with a unique constraint and re-fire your create routine. These are just some thoughts... the eventual implementation is entirely up to you. Laterz! J On 4/20/05, Ali Awan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jared, LOL, yeah it sounds like an Access issue.

Re: Need Help Parsing Text
NO PROBLEM! This kinda thing is just fun... :) The only gotcha here is that it's dependent on comma-space to set the double-pipe delimiter... and I didn't see it until I looked at the string in a fixed-width font. ;) If your format is really consistent, where ', A is a reliable delimiter, you'll be fine. If not, then comma-A should also be fine because it's the only spot in the text where a comma precedes an alpha character without a single quote in-between... everywhere else, there's a pattern of ','A. Check my edits to the original code for some reductions and updates... I've replaced replace() with rereplace() to enable the code to not be dependent on comma-space-capA, it'll work on just comma-capA or comma-space-capA... and I've reduced the number of variables involved to 2 by nesting some methods. It's not quite as easy to read, but it'll probably work a bit better under load... http://w2ksrv1.neo.servequake.com/tmp/ath.cfm Laterz!

Perhaps, as time goes on and we gain some market share/client base, we'll turn around and open some of these things up... I'd really like to do that, anyway. Either that, or, as time goes on, we'll add some of the more widely requested features and keep expanding it... or both! It's just a matter of watching how things unfold as time goes on. If nothing else, it's just way cool to have written something with broad value and being able to sell it on a site that I've also developed. For me, that's the biggest reward!
