You could also implement an onMissingTemplate() method in your Application.cfc, which I think is a CF9 feature. Thanks, I will go this route.

Re: URL Scope and Form Scope
Up until know I thought that scoping variables with form. that you were guaranteed those variables were coming from a form post. So now my question is how do you guarantee that the variable came from the form scope? is using form[firstname] sufficient? What about checking cgi.REQUEST_METHOD for post? Can that variable be spoofed? Thanks!

You're creating a variable named URL.form.test, and CF 8 is relaxed enough to not give you a hard time about it. However, there's no form scope there really, just the URL scope, which is why the second reference doesn't work. My guess is that if you referenced URL.form[test], it would work fine.

I have tested this on

and on both linux tests the dates are off by 1 day, well actually it
looks like 1 hour.

Re: HELP! SQL Injection Attack!
No, that's exactly what he described. The attack appends JavaScript to character fields. And, unfortunately, blocking specific IP addresses won't get you very far here, because it's a random, automated attack run from compromised hosts in a botnet, I think. Yea I think it is too. I started tracking ip's on a page that I saw always showing up in FusionReactor. This morning I am up to 378 ipaddresses blocked within the last three days.

How do you create a scalable solution?
Hello, I have been reading about Twitter having scalability issues lately. This morning I was thinking to myself: If I had to make a site like Twitter that was scalable, how would I do that? Then it hit me, I don't really know how to make a site scalable. I have read and heard about things like: Load Balancers, Server Clusters etc... My answer has always been I would work with my hosting company if I ever needed to start dealing with that stuff. They are professionals, they will be able to set that up for me. That may or may not be a good answer for the hardware part of scalability. But really that's only part of it. My coldfusion site needs to be coded to be scalable too.. So I decided to do some research. I googled Scalable Coldfusion: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1045128.html talks about coldfusion being scalable, but is a little outdated. It was published in 2002. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Using_ClusterCATS/overview.htm talks about Scalability and Availability. It's a good read about the different hardware and software options. I read some other articles about making sure that you cache queries at all costs, make sure not to use Select *, being cautious of links etc, making sure code is organized and modular as possible. This was a good overview: http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=31089seqNum=1 It is one of Ben Forta's books. It had a lot of cool basics in there. So writing code to be scalable doesn't seem to be all that difficult, writing good efficient code in a modular way seems to be a good start. I am sure there is more to it. The next component is databases. I have read with Mysql that replication is how you can use multiple databases. I haven't done to much research on this, my initial questions would you use a db server for users, a db server for messages, db for each component?? If one DB server goes down, how would CF Server know to switch to another one. I need to do more research. I also have read about geocoded servers. Not sure what the proper term is, but from what I understand it is where you have servers around the country or globe and based on the user's ip address the user would download graphics and other site items from those servers making things quicker. I know a few people on this list have setup Scalable websites, clusters, load balancing etc. Where did you all learn how to do such things? Did you learn based on trial and error? Is there 1 or 2 comprehensive resources that have all this information or did you have to research each piece separately? Thank you to anyone who would like to provide their feedback. I am not asking you to do my research, I am curious to learn how you got started, and any other helpful feedback you may have and any resources that were crucial in helping you create a scalable website solution.

You've confirmed this in MySQL. It's like a user going to long_running_page.cfm, and then not waiting for the page to load and navigate to any_other_page.cfm. long_running_page.cfm is still executing on the server, even though the user is totally unaware of it (most users anyway).

RE: Is cfqueryparam worth it?
Should I really switch my queries over to something like this: SELECT username FROM user where userID = cfqueryparam CFSQLType=CF_SQL_INTEGER value=#int(URL.user_id)# I would do without the Int part, myself, and just catch the appropriate Exception. That's what exceptions are for!

For us, this is a far preferable method than what cfqueryparam would do, which is to bomb before executing the query. You'd rather run a query unnecessarily than avoid running the query? Why not just catch the exception? Then today I discovered that cfqueryparam supports bind variables, which theoretically will improve database performance. So now the question is: how much does it improve performance? Am I really going to notice it? In some cases, you'll see significant performance increases. In other cases, you won't. In still other cases, you may see performance degradation. All that said, I'd recommend that you use it in every case, because it will generally provide better performance in most cases.

Application.cfc and Client Variables

Re: cfhttp/xml help
Hi Bob, I had this happen with a couple rss feeds. I tried trimming the feed in case of any white space. That did not help it so I finally gave up. The weird thing is, the feeds worked fine if I put them in the RSS Reader. I currently use GreatNews for My RSS reader. I did some testing with online rss validators on the url in your example, it was to big for the online validators to check but It did pass the xml validator test (Well Formed), so I assume it is a valid rss feed too.

This application is running on a round-robin cluster between 2 instances, which is paired with an identical server behind a cisco content switch for load balancing and fault tolerance. My question is this: The mass emailer adds a scheduled task to whichever instance the request happens to get directed too, on whichever server is least busy at the time. This application also has code to remove a scheduled task. Now, that removal task is never guaranteed to hit the same server / instance that the task was scheduled on, so most often it fails to remove the task. Should I: a) change this particular site to use one single instance of CF and have the load balancer direct all traffic to a single server b) write some kind of code to have it check each instance when deleting to verify it finds and deletes the correct scheduled job c) do something I don't know about? =) -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Queue Manager
Hello everyone, I have looked over the POC cfthread and Damon Cooper's Blog. After reading the following: ...This POC works with CF 7.0.2 (Standard or Enterprise). While you can do multi-threading and asynchronous CFML with these POC tags, they don't provide any of the fine-grained threading control you have with ColdFusion Event Gateways and the Asynchronous Gateway, for example. So you don't get thread pooling, control over how many worker threads can be active or pooled, metering on Gateway messages In/Out, or any of the other advanced capabilities of the Event Gateway architecture on CF7, but they do the basics: run stuff asynchronously in separate threads and allow for the use of local (thread-local) variables, allow access to shared scopes, etc It would seem to me that the best way to go about this would be to use the Coldfusion Event Gateways or the Asynchronous Gateways because they would have better control the amount of threads that are running at one time. The way I understand it is, I would have scheduled tasks run at timed intervals sending the requests to the gateway, and the gateway would process the requests ensuring it didn't go over the thread limit. I have just read over the event gateway chapter in my Advanced Macromedia Coldfusion MX7 Application Development Book and it would seem like the event gateway would be the way to go. -Randy - Original Message - From: Richard Kroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 2:52 PM Subject: RE: Queue Manager I need some advice.

Queue Manager
Hello Everyone, I need some advice. I am working on a project. The cfm page in my project I call TheBrain.cfm this is the page that gets called by my task scheduler every 4 hours. TheBrain.cfm script then makes calls to a web service. I am allowed to have 15 simultaneous connections to the web service at any one given point. This means I will have to create a thread manager or if you want to call it a queue manager since I am not really using threads. Currently TheBrain.cfm page uses cfexecute to launch curl commands at the command line to launch the simultaneous calls. Right now it launches 4 separate processes which means I have 4 simultaneous calls going on. My first thought was to have a call variable in the database which would be incremented when the execute calls the script and decremented when the called script is done making the call. This seems to be a little clunky and unreliable. The first thought is: What happens if for some reason the script does not decrement the call count... or if the call count doesn't get incremented then I could have more than 15 calls going on at once. I thought that an event gateway might be a way to handle this, but I do not know enough yet about those. I am not sure if I am going the right way about this or not that is why I am emailing a group. The main thing I need to accomplish is to make sure I do not have more than 15 simultaneous requests at 1 time. I think I need a queue manager of some sort. If you have any advice on how I should tackle this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Randy ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
