JRUN Intermittent Death
Hi All, A couple of weeks ago I applied the APSB13-13, APSB13-03 and ColdFusion 9.0.2 Cumulative Hotfix 1. After applying this patch however, I've been experiencing intermittent outages where the jrun service seems to spike. I'm not totally confident it was the patches that did it, but that's the only thing I can think of that changed since then. The issue actually started popping up two days after the patches were successfully applied. Do you guys think it could be the patches? I would really hate to un-patch my server. One thing that had occurred to me, is that my server instance of ColdFusion is currently using JVM 1.6. Does anyone thing upgrading to JVM 1.7 would help? What are the pros and cons of using JVM 1.7? Thanks, Paul ~| 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:355878 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Sessions failing due to multiple CFID / CFTOKEN cookies
We're encountering the following issue with some percentage of IE users (Definitely but not necessarily limited to IE8 8.0.7601.17514 windows 7). Basically their SESSION is failing the same way it might if they're cookies were disabled, however, we are able to set cookies manually using CFCOOKIE. After running several tests, we found that the users request headers include 2 CFID and CFTOKEN cookies. It seems like Coldfusion writes both into the COOKIE scope, then can't translate them into the SESSION so creates a new (third) CFID and CFTOKEN pair, then overwrites the value of both in the COOKIE scope. CGI.HTTP_COOKIES -- CFID=19602005; CFTOKEN=13461642; (other cookies removed); CFID=20907643; CFTOKEN=42056124; (other cookies removed); COOKIES -- struct CFID 20907644 CFID 20907644 CFTOKEN 22098534 CFTOKEN 22098534 SESSION -- struct cfid 20907644 cftoken 22098534 sessionid APPNAME_20907644_22098534 urltoken CFID=20907644CFTOKEN=22098534 Anybody know what could be going on here?

Maximum Post Variables
Hi All, I'm running into an issue, where when I create over 100 different form elements with different content I get a 500 error. I'd like to increase this number up from 100 however I can't find an area to do this. My original thought was that it was in the ColdFusion Administrator -- settings -- Maximum size of post data however, when I upped this, it had no effect on the number of post variables. I think this setting seems to be the post variable size, as like for file uploads ect... I'm running on ColdFusion 9.0.2 and when I run the code below and hit submit I receive an error.

Re: CDN and Coldfusion
Hi Donnie, First off, let me just say I'm no CDN expert but have used CDN's several times and am fairly familiar with them. From what it sounds like, your asking if you can have a CDN run and distribute ColdFusion applications? As far as I know, this isn't a capability of a CDN, that would be more for something like a mirrored server. CDN's are for distributing content like images, css, javascript and any other client based content. One thing worth mentioning though, is that (according to yahoo***) an average of 80% of the front end load time is spent loading what a CDN is capable of distributing. Also, when your server is far away from your client user, the client based content will be slower however the server response time won't slow down. IE; if a page take 5 seconds to load from china and 2 seconds from the US, the server response time will be the same for both users. It is the time taken to load the client content like images and css that will slow the load time, not the server response. Make sense? ***http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html Thanks, Paul Alkema http://paulalkema.com http://twitter.com/#!/paulalkema On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Donnie Carvajal donnie.carva...@transformyx.com wrote: Has anyone ever worked with a CDN like Akamai with Coldfusion where the actual content is distributed, not just images and documents?

Re: CDN and Coldfusion
I think what your describing is more of mirrored servers than a Content Delivery Network. Mirrored servers are a completely different story, he could use mirrored servers if he doesn't mind spending that kind of money. I prefer CDN's. Cheaper, almost as effective and easier to maintain.

cgi.host_name Security Exploit
Greetings and Salutations My Fellow Programmers! I have recently discovered a security flaw that I have reported to the Adobe team regarding the use of the variable cgi.host_name. As you know, the cgi.host_name is typically the hostname of the server or the websites domain name. I've discovered an exploit that allows a user to basically change this variable to anything they want for the user's current session. This exploit could be spread across sessions in instances where a website is caching absolute links using the cgi.host_name variable. It could also be used to take advantage of applications that assume the cgi.host_name variable is a constant, therefore developed applications don't take precautions to sanitize this variable before inserting it into a database could have issues. Just wanted to give the community a heads up on this. :) Regards, Paul Alkema http://paulalkema.com/ ~| 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:344500 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

In your error reporting do you have anything that grabs the user agent of the error? I've found that looking at user agents can sometime help me to determine if it's a bot or not but you have to keep in mind that there are definitely tricky bots out there that emulate real people. One of the websites I maintain has around 800,000 pageviews a month. This website also has an error reporting like yours and I've found that the majority of them are just bots.

RE: Where to put your code
I think that when working on a team of programmers that are all working on the same applications or the same website that it's important to have a programming standard or a guide. I think this goes with any language be it web or desktop applications. I think that it's ok for programmers to have their own style of programming style and own methods to programming however when multiple programmers get together they should be writing applications in the same style using the same guides or else applications and websites looks and unprofessional. I also think it really helps the programmers to work together and be in sync with one another. Ie; if you have a guide of where to put code you can know exactly the location of a script if your teammate wrote it. Do I really think there is a right of wrong in the discussion of where you should put code? Not really.

Where to put your code

I can see if your building small application for small websites and you're not on a team of people working on the same website how it might not be ideal to have guidelines set up like these.

RE: Where to put your code
Hm, I respectfully disagree with putting functions in cfm pages entirely no matter how it's being pulled. I think there's a place for functions and that's in cfcs. You say you have a lot of utility functions that don't need to be in a cfc. If you have a lot of them, why not just create a cfc called utility and stick them all in one cfc? Also, if you stick functions and include them most likely your talking to that function using scoped variables which as other have mentioned is usually a bad practice to do using functions.

I have been using Ingrid for a while but there is a problem with it. If you put the Ingrid table/grid within a DIV and use any type of positioning in that DIV, the divider bar causes problems, and sometimes locks up the browser window. It's nice for relatively simple instances, but it has limitations when used within a nicely laid out site. Now then, here are my requirements - 1) I need to pass a CLASS TITLE attribute to different random cells to display tool tips. So any plug in that generates a grid with JSON and XML only is out of the mix. (So this might nix jqGrid from the list) 2) I need to be able to have paging controls, where I can either read in an HTML table generated on the backend, or pull back the data to generate my table but CLASS TITLE attributes have to be included. 3) I need to be able to expand the grid object beyond the screen's edge if need be. The data is truly dynamic. One time the page will show 4 columns, the next 20. Probably not, but I have to prepare for the worst. Any and all ideas are appreciated.

Subject: cfwindow - dynamically setting window title using javascript?
Is there a way to dynamically set the cfwindow title using JavaScript? What
I mean is, I have the cfwindow's title attribute set to a fairly generic
value. Once I display the window, it always contains dynamic data, and I
would like the cfwindow title to reflect the dynamic content. I would
assume that this would be done via a Javascript snippet from within the
cfwindow content display page.
Thanks,
Pete

Re: Trouble with international characters
Hi, What's your data type for the sql column that your trying to insert this data into? If your inserting Unicode characters into varchar column you should change the datatype to nvarchar. Also, when using unicode in ColdFusion with cfqueryparam's I would confirm that String Format is checked in your ColdFusion administrator. It should be noted however that if this is enabled for your main dsn that it could possibly cause performance issues. I have two datasources one called nMainDns and another called mainDns. The nMainDns is used to insert Unicode statements while using cfqueryparam's while the other is used for select statements or stored procedures.

Vote ColdFusion
Hi All, So I've been a member of this Linux forum for awhile now and I recently came across a poll on the forum called The best languages. I know, I know how long are people going to debate this; but the one thing that gets me is ColdFusion isn't even on the list.

ColdFusion 9 CSS Reset Warning
Hi All,
I just upgraded one my old sites to CF9 and was surprised all of a sudden to
see some changes in formatting on some pages but not others. IE; strong tags
not bolding, h1's looking different than previously and other issues as
well. After some investigating I found the issue, apparently CF9's ext
framework has a built in CSS reset.
See the code below.
File: CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/ext/css/ext-all.css
html,body,div,dl,dt,dd,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,p,blockquot
e,th,td{margin:0;padding:0;}
img,body,html{border:0;}
address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var{font-style:normal;font-weight
:normal;}
//ol,ul {list-style:none;}
caption,th {text-align:left;}
//h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{font-size:100%;}
q:before,q:after{content:'';}
I know, this is something that I should have probably been doing already and
strong tags are deprecated, but still. If I wanted to do a css reset, I
would do a css reset and wouldn't expect a ColdFusion upgrade to do it for
me.
Note: to make it more odd, this only effects pages that are using ColdFusion
tags that use the ext framework like cfgrid, cfwindow, cftooltip ect.
Best Regards,
Paul Alkema

RE: ColdFusion 9 CSS Reset Warning
Ah, ok. I Googled it and didn't find much. Maybe I just didn't search the
correct thing. Anyway, I fixed it by just going into the file on the server
and commenting out the reset. Don't know if that was the correct thing to do
or not, but it fixed it for me and my ajax tags seem to be ok.

If your using MSSQL and pulling the data your looking to strip from a

-- FIRST, RUN THE CODE BELOW ONCE TO CREATE YOUR INITIAL FUNCTION
USE [yourDataBaseName] -- yourDataBaseName
GO
/** Strips html **/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[stripHTML]

DECLARE @End INT
DECLARE @Length INT
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
WHILE @Start 0
AND @End 0
AND @Length 0
BEGIN
SET @HTMLText = STUFF(@HTMLText,@Start,@Length,'')
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
END
RETURN LTRIM(RTRIM(@HTMLText))
END

SELECT dbo.udf_StripHTML('pa href=Test/a/p') as noHtml

Wow you have lost me. First let's look at a great Client UI first, SmartGit looks awesome have been using the SamrtSVN version for awhile but I prefer it inside my IDE first and foremost. A lot of things you mention below I am not sure if you are referring to SVN or GIT, you can certainly hide code in SVN now by just ignoring it. Might have to look a bit closer how GIT does this. Are you saying that GIT can't check out a part of a project, by revision? I know you can in SVN so you must be talking about GIT here. From what I read about GIT and Subversion 1.6 they are almost identical when it comes to merging and patching code, not having used GIT at this point I may have to look a bit harder at the differences. But SVN is as powerful or not depending on if you utilise that power, and by the sounds of it GIT is no different in that area as well. If I have misread what you are trying to say, you didn't make it easy which parts you are talking about for which application although I see a could majority of it can be used in SVN. -Original Message- From: denstar [mailto:valliants...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 7 May 2010 4:35 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: How are other developers handling big SVN repositories? Yes! Git has been around a lot longer than I thought it had (catch the wave, right? I'm as bad as the anyone. :]), yet chunks of it are still in flux as if it's brand new. Nothing wrong with that, but with folks jumping on the wagon like they have been, you'd think things like submodules (SVN:externals-ish stuff) and other things like, say, java implementations and 3rd party tools/integrations would be there already. For sure there'd be a decent windows implementation, right? Not so, until just recently (Understandable? Plenty of linux heads hate windoze (see?) with a passion. Can't really blame 'em either. I mean... file locking from the 60s? WTF? =)p). I freaking *love* svn externals. I love that you can check out any part of a project, vs. the whole she-bang. I love having that linear history, at this point (maybe I'll change as I become more familiar with the concepts of editing/deleting commit histories and whatnot). The parts I love about Git are the parts that let me work the way I *want* to work-- meaning, perhaps, not the way I *should* work. Just perhaps. For Git, I love: Shelving/stashing stuff. Keeping stuff private and then going public with it, yet with continuity (sorta). Offline commits! ***sharing patches***! (it's built in!) It's the bomb for open source, mostly because of github + easy patching. Love that social coding aspect it's got going on. For closed source, or more centrally managed projects, something centralized (like SVN) seems to make more sense. At least for the repository of record, ja know? Nothing stopping anyone from using both tools, which I find pretty freaking cool. You don't /really/ *have* to choose, you see? The one thing you *don't* have a choice about: Learning the methodologies of managing code changes when multiple people are involved in the code. There's just nothing that's going to save you from learning that. It's sorta like a coder trying to get away from SQL ( ;) a weak analogy, but I tossed it in for Barney). I'm big on flexibility, and Git is more flexible than SVN (for good or ill), so it probably will be the new SVN, eventually. Ironically, I think this flexibility is an boon to the lone developer, but actually complicates multi-developer interaction. With power, comes responsibility. Anyways, Git really is cool, and approaching problems from multiple angles will better prepare you for future problems, so give it a spin! Just don't let the power of the non-linear blind you to the weaknesses of it, or blind you to the power of the linear. We're beyond good and evil. :) Or something like that. I'm not 100% wrapped around all this crap yet, if ever. They have *both* been awesome *and* painful, for me. I think that might just be life, though.

RE: reverse engineer PHP to CF
My whole outlook on converting scripts from one language to another is to
look the front end and get an idea of what the application's purpose is and
try to figure out exactly what the application is doing, then look at the
backend and confirm your front end finding. Take notes! Then rewrite your
new application in the way that you think that it should be written keeping
in mind that you need to have the same end result as the old script. Or you
could even make improvements!
I think translating the scripts directly from one language to another will
usually result in an application that was written poorly. Languages work
differently than another. I think the important thing is that the end
results are the same.

RE: ColdFusion SQL Hack
I would ensure that every single update / insert on your site is using
cfqueryparam's for security sake, however It sounds to me like your issue is
not SQL injection.. but more XSS attacks. An XSS attack is where data is
inserted into into a page usually via a database input field somewhere which
then executes a javascript or other piece of code into a site which can
cause users sessions to be hijacked or the user could be simpley redirected,
which is what is sounds like this xsser is doing.
Dorioo is right on about the fix for this, I would either sanitize all data
that a customer has access to input with the htmleditformat() or sanitize
the output with htmleditformat().
IE;
INSERT INTO users (userId, userName)
VALUES ('#form.username#')
Should be..
INSERT INTO users (userId, userName)
VALUES ('#htmlEditFormat(form.username)#')
Another option would be to enable Global Script Protection in the settings
area of your coldfusion administrator. Doing this will cause you to never
have the ability to pass javascript tags and object tags via CGI, FORM and
URL variables though, so I would be careful about this global option.
Good luck!

RE: Does not contain dilema
First off, as a general rule I would put the variable first, then the string. So you have cfif united States contains country. I would try cfif country contains united states. Secondly.. You need to var your variables. If country is a form variable refer to it as form.country... not just country. This could really mess you up down the road, plus it's just a bad practice. Some something like... cfif form.country contains United States and form.state contains IL and not form.inType contains K-12 / Also, what I do in instances where I'm using multiple IF arguments and I'm trying to find which one is causing my IF statement to fail, is I remove the cif at the beginning and the closing IF bracket. Then I wrap an cfoutput tag around the IF statement and put pound signs around each statement. This should output YES or NO if the statement is passing or not. This is a good way to diagnose which For instance this should tell you exactly which IF argument is causing your IF statement to fail. cfoutput #United States Contains Country# and #K-12 does not contain intype# and #(State is IL) or (State is IA)# /cfoutput cfabort / Regards, Paul Alkema http://www.alkemadesigns.com -Original Message- From: Orlini, Robert [mailto:rorl...@hwwilson.com] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 11:51 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Does not contain dilema I have a form with a field call intype which I need to filter and NOT send an email if the form does contain a certain list of states, but does not contain the value k-12 for intype. The cfif I have that does not seem to work is: CFIF United States Contains Country and K-12 does not contain intype and IL Contains State or IA Contains State. I've tried, but it still sends the email which I don't want: CFIF United States Contains Country and K-12 does not contain intype and (State is IL) or (State is IA) Any easier way to do this please? Thanks. RO HWW ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: ColdFusion Builder Released!
I agree, I wouldn't want flashbuilder but I would want cfbuilder. I wouldn't want to pay for flashbuilder if I don't want it. I'm switching back to cfEclipse. -Original Message- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:ow...@threeravensconsulting.com] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 1:18 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: ColdFusion Builder Released! Considering that I don't need flash...no it's not. If flash is the cost, then they should offer a version without flash builder. I think it is an outrageous price for a plugin.

It's bundled with FlashBuilder 4 which is nice. That's actually a pretty decent price. On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 12:10 PM, Eric Roberts ow...@threeravensconsulting.com wrote: 299.00? WTF?

If you haven't looked at ColdFusion Builder since the last public beta, you should check out the final release. There have been about 4 months of performance enhancements, bug fixes and tweaks since then. You can download a 60-day trial of ColdFusion Builder from Adobe.com. http://bit.ly/TryBolt -Adam ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
