Re: Release a CF Java Object

2008-12-12 Thread Rand Thacker
I think you could do something like:
cfset myWorkBook = javaCast(null, )
Which should assign java null, allowing the object to be collected by GC.

 Please be kind -- I am JAVA illerate.
 
 I am creating workbooks using POI HSSF.  Here is a code snippet from a 
 page:
 
 cfset myWorkBook = createObject(java,org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.
 HSSFWorkbook)
 
  
 create and fill workbook sheets with data..
 cfscript
 
 context = getPageContext();
 
 context.setFlushOutput(false);
 
 response = context.getResponse().getResponse();
 
 out = response.getOutputStream();
 
 response.setContentType(application/vnd.ms-excel);
 
 myWorkBook .write(out);
 
 out.flush();
 
 response.reset();
 
 out.close();
 /cfscript
 
 I found the cfscript code out on the web but don't quite fully 
 understand it all.
 
 What I'm concerned about is releasing objects properly so they can be 
 immediately collected by the JVM garbage collector.  I know that 
 closing the out object will release it but should I also close the 
 response and context objects?  And how do I release the myWorkBook 
 object?  I don't want it hanging around if the user decides to go to 
 lunch.
 
 Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Official ColdFusion IDE announced

Ben just announced it. Sign up for access to the beta (or whatever) at

I think it's a shame that the makers of ColdFusion make use of php as their 
Wiki.

Squid and CF

2008-07-16 Thread Rand Thacker
I have recently updated some servers from older Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS servers using 
CF7 and Squid 2.5.stable12 to CentOS 5.1 with CF7 and Squid 2.6.stable6 (CentOS 
is basically RedHat RHEL).

My problem appears to be: our homepage has a small iframe, user can click a 
Login link, and it pops a login box.  Once a valid username/password combo is 
entered, it basically reloads the homepage, and the link to Login changes to 
Logout, signifying that the login was successful.  (That's how it's supposed to 
work.)

With the new configuration, that particular piece of the puzzle is no longer 
working.
I have tested the server's functionality, and all other processes seem to work 
just fine.  So, the one big thing I see as different is the new Squid (which 
had some some fairly significant config file changes from the 2.5).

If anyone else has run into anything similar, I'd love to hear from you.

Tracking down server issues MX 7

2007-11-07 Thread Rand Thacker
My company has a homegrown eCommerce solution, shopping cart.  We run several 
linux CF MX7 servers behind a Cisco CSS load balancing appliance.

A little setup before the question: normally, we receive on average, between 
25-50 orders per hour.   Every once in a while, we get these breaks in our 
order patterns (yes,it's vague, but I'm talking like 3 orders in one hour where 
we'd normally get 20).  Management is all over our IT team to find out why 
these breaks happen.

I am able to look at the Cisco appliance and see average number of users on 
each cart, I can look at the load on the linux web/CF servers using top (just 
to see if they're loaded down).  The carts seem a little slow, but THAT much 
slower than normal.

**My real question, after all this setup: what kind of tools, services, 
software could one use to look deeper into the CF server processes.  
FusionReactor?  More?  We need to be able to definitively log information as 
baselines, and prove to management that it's not our servers or necessarily our 
code.  If it is the servers or code, then great, we'll fix it if we know where 
to look.

I'd love to hear suggestions or even references of people that have experience 
in tracking this stuff down.  I need help.

Thanks in advance.  I can give more details, but I have a feeling we need a 
deeper look into the CF MX 7 servers to see if memory/locks servers restarting, 
etc.

Don't quote me on this

2007-10-16 Thread Rand Thacker
I have a form that allows the user to edit data in the database.
Let's now say that data looks like this:

14'6 cable

Now, how does one handle the FORM element INPUT TYPE=text with a prefilled 
value in here?

value=#data# will only show: 14'6 in the text box.
value='#data#' will only show: 14 in the text box.

Am I supposed to double-up the quote marks or something?  Seems like people 
should be running into this all the time.  Maybe I just am not googling for it 
properly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks - Rand Thacker
