RE: Thinking of a career change.. how does one get into Technical Recruiting..
Scott, This one kind of got away from the original topic a little : -) There are good Recruiters, and ones who should think about how to improve their customer service skills a bit, and yet others who would do the world a service and go back to selling used cars, or selling junk bonds to little old ladies in Iowa. There's no question about it. Fingers can be pointed all over the place... Recruiters for the lack of follow through, customer service skills, honesty, integrity, etc. Developers for their lack of response, embellishment of skills, dishonesty about being submitted to certain clients, or actually applying directly once a Recruiter revealed the company name, etc, etc... Unfortunately, there are a lot of obstacles and preconceived notions that exist on both sides of the fence. There are many people who don't see the value recruiters bring to the table; people who have never needed to rely on other people to help them find a job. Yet others who are very happy to work with Recruiters (managers and candidates). If you are sincerely interested in delving into this area, please shoot me an email or give me a call.

Just my $0.02 cents...I think that recruiters do help one get a job. Yes, most recruiters are all about business but who is not? They try to get you in and if they can not then they go on to the next one. This is just the nature of their business. They gotta make it work and in order to make it work they have to move fast and find the right candidate for the right position. That's fine. However, what I do not agree with is the fact that most of these recruiters are extremely friendly at first and then it all changes afterwards. I have heard this from most programmers. This is not just coming from me. Also, if they can not get you the job that they have been trying to then they also vanish without a trace (this does not apply to all recruiters). They don't even send you an e-mail to say go look for a new opportunity. I mean, it only takes 5 seconds right? I took 1 week of my time to talk to you and you do not have 5 seconds to say...Hey, it did not work but maybe next time? AlsoI had one recruiter call me every 2 weeks to have me rely information about the company hiring procedures. He wanted to know if anyone was being hired directly by the company instead of his recruiting company. SoI try not to be on either side..I am neutral. But man...you come to me to ask me questions but when I go to you to ask you questions you just ignore me? What kind of recruiter-to-programmer relationship is that? This is not an attack on recruiters. My experience with recruiting companies is OK. Will I work with recruiters in the future. YES. Everybody is entitled to making mistakes right?

Re: Easy way to dump contents of a CFC?
Is there an easy way to see the values stored in CFC? In my CFCs I place all instance variables into an instance struct. Then I can use: cffunction name=getMemento access=public returntype=Struct output=false cfargument name=collection type=struct required=false default=#structNew()# cfset var Local = StructNew() cfloop collection=#variables.instance# item=Local.i cfif StructKeyExists(variables.instance, Local.i) cfset arguments.collection[Local.i] = variables.instance[Local.i] /cfif /cfloop cfreturn arguments.collection /cffunction If you place everything in the variables scope, you can use: cffunction name=getMemento cfreturn duplicate(variables) / /cffunction Keep in mind that this will also display all methods of the CFC as well. Does it work recursively, so if a cfc member points to another cfc instance, then that cfc is dumped in the same way? Unfortunately, any composite CFCs will display in their 'object' representation, unless you build a recursive getMemento method, and each child object would have to support that interface.

Re: writing protected CF with CFStoredProc
In your example you are altering the behavior of the query based upon input which does not affect injection attacks. The idea of protecting against injection attacks is to stop invalid values from being executed within the query/SP. Take for example this query: delete from customer where customerId = 1 if this query were parameterized from CF without cfqueryparam you would have: delete from customer where customerId = #customerId# If someone were trying to inject sql they could inject 1;drop customers; as the parameter and without the queryparam, it would be executed literally as the following and drop the customers table: delete from customer where lastname = 1; drop customers; To prevent this we utilize cfqueryparam which parameterizes the query that is passed. As I understand it, this informs the database that the value being passed is of a specific datatype. So in the previous example: delete from customer where customerId = cfqueryparam value=#customerId# cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer null=false / In essense, the database sees this as: declare @custId int set @custId = 1 delete from customer where customerId = @custId This has the benefit of not allowing the additional SQL to be injected, and I just learned recently, it also creates a parameterized query which on SQL server creates a cached query execution plan, minimially increasing performance.

Re: CFC confusion. please help!
Lori, The reason that some people discourage the use of a query object as a return type is due to the fact that it binds whatever uses that query object directly to the database (more specifically, to the columns in the database). The use of setter/getter beans should be familiar to your boss; under the java design pattern Transfer Object, and are used as a mechanism to transfer the data in an encapsulated fashion. Return types are used in CFCs to create a strongly typed system. There are many debates on strong typing variables within CF (see duck typing), so you will have decide what best fits your team and development style. Gateway objects refer to a design pattern that has grown within the CF community, and refers to an object that manages all aggregate database interaction, while a DAO (data access object) manages persisting a single object. Many of the problems that come up in traditional java OO application development apply directly to CF and many can be solved using the same solutions and design patterns. Conversly, there are also new prolbems that are introduced using CF that must be solved in much different ways. A concrete example would be in java it is typical to create large object graphs (nested sets of objects), where in CF you must limit the depth of the graph as there are high object instantiation costs. Good luck!

Re: Why do I need getters/setters?
Will, Many of the ideas within OO are to promote encapsulation, easy reuse, and increased maintainabilty. In your example, it may be much easier to submit a form to a page that takes those values and adds them to the database. But for example lets say you are storing a customer, and that you must ensure that there are no illeagal characters in their name. In your example, this can easily be done inline in the page, but what if you have multiple places where a customer can be entered? What about the SQL necessary to store this customer? Using OO, each of these operations is in exactly one place, and all your other code leverages that single place. This is one of a myrid of problems that OO attempts to solve. You gain flexibility and maintainability but at the cost of an increased learning curve and additional complexity.

SMS Event Gateway - encoding problem?
Hello all, Has anyone run into a problem delivering a US dollar sign through the SMS Event gateway?

On some carriers the '$' is replace with '?', while on other carriers the message simply cuts off where the '$' was encountered. Is there a different way we need to encode the text to get around this? Thanks for the help!

RE: Asynchronous Web Service Response
One step in the CFC involves adding a record to a table which will be processed later during a scheduled batch process. Is there anyway to send a final response back to the client after this record has been processed via the batch? If your clients are more technical, you could have the client provide a 'callback' web service when they invoke the original call. So for example, if your web service method signature looked like: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name) you could update it to: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name, callback_url) It is now possible when you run your batch, to return an xml packet to the callback url (you could include status, etc. in the packet). If this solution is to technical for your clients, then Bryan's suggestion of a getStatus(employeeId) which would allow your clients to poll the application seems to be the best solution.

The errors you are seeing is the project dependencies not being found by

The error you are getting above is due to missing dependencies that are

is not finding the class MessagingException, which is located in the

RE: MMS in ColdFusion?
I just spoke with my contact.. and they mention MM7 traffic via a VASP This is all greek to me.. will an SMS Aggregator still work here? Or will I need to go the openwave route? Ok, I'm assuming you spoke with your contact at your SMS aggregator and this is what they told you. That said, here are the basic definitions you will need to remember to find your way out of acronym hell: SMSC - Short Message Service Center (your SMS Aggregator) MMSC - Multimedia Message Service Center (usually provided by your aggregator) MM7 - This is the delivery protocol for the messages VASP - Value Added Service Provider - you ;) ShortCode - the (generally) 6 digit number you were given for your SMS/MMS traffic (phone number) So they are saying that you send them MMS messages via MM7 ;) It sounds like you are in the same boat I was, so I hope the following helps: The first place I started was with the Openwave SDK and its example files. The hardest part there is configuring the correct properties; once configured properly, you can send to your MMSC using the sample files (they do need to be modified slightly). I strongly suggest running them from a shell as you can see encoding for MM7 and will start to get a feel for the protocol. I would suggest using the 'MM7MessageSender' as this is the most robust example and shows many of the things you will need to work with. You will need to alter a few parameters in the source code for it to authenticate successfully (namely vaspid, vasid, sourceAddress - see below). There are a few details you will want to get from the MMSC in order to be able to connect to them successfully: mmscUrl = the url to connect to Username = self explanitory Password = self explanitory MM7 version = what version of the MM7 protocol are they using (REL-5-MM7-1-0, REL-5-MM7-1-1, REL-5-MM7-1-2 or REL-5-MM7-1-3) Vaspid = the VASP id provided by the aggregator, generally required for authorizaion Vasid = the VAS id provided by the aggregator, generally required for authorizaion Sender address = your short code (this was required by our MMSC to deliver YMMV) Once you have these details you can use the MM7MessageSender to deliver messages via the example applications. From here, your next steps are going to vary depending on the needs of your application. We needed a high volume, scalable solution, so we created supporting java classes that delegated to the SDK for delivery and exposed one java 'service' class to CF to initiate the send. Let me know if I can be of further help. p.s. - It would probably save you endless hours of development if you could find a MMSC that offered a RESTful web service for delivery so you could use Roberts solution.

JMS ActiveMQ
Hello all, Does anyone have any experience with CF8 ActiveMQ integration? I was attempting to set up activeMQ 5.1 and leverage the ActiveMQ event gateway, and when starting the example, received a class not found error for the connection factory. Based upon this, I added the activeMQ jars to the CF classpath so CF could access the dependant classes, only to run into problems with class library versions (i.e. CF8 uses commons-logging v1.0 and ActiveMQ uses 1.1). Because of these dependency problems, I had to downgrade ActiveMQ to version 4.1 and have now successfully delivered and received messages, but really wanted to use 5.1. I expected the CF example gateways to work out of the box, and not for me to have to install jars onto the classpath to get it to work. I did not see any notes in the docs regarding any installation being necessary, so I hope I am just missing something trivial. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Adobe hypes CFs easy integration with Java, yet every time I have attempted to leverage open source software as an integration point, I feel nothing but pain (Quartz and now ActiveMQ). Am I missing something here? Is there some easy way to get a clean classpath, or to manage these dependency conflicts?

RE: Avoid multiple form submits.
A client side only solution can not ensure that this problem will not occur. A more robust solution is to use the Synchronizer Token Pattern from core J2EE Patterns. Here is an excerpt from http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/Design/PresoDesign.htm: Synchronizer (or Déjà vu) Token This strategy addresses the problem of duplicate form submissions. A synchronizer token is set in a user's session and included with each form returned to the client. When that form is submitted, the synchronizer token in the form is compared to the synchronizer token in the session. The tokens should match the first time the form is submitted. If the tokens do not match, then the form submission may be disallowed and an error returned to the user. Token mismatch may occur when the user submits a form, then clicks the Back button in the browser and attempts to resubmit the same form. On the other hand, if the two token values match, then we are confident that the flow of control is exactly as expected. At this point, the token value in the session is modified to a new value and the form submission is accepted. This combined with a client side JS solution will ensure the form is only submitted once.

-Original Message- From: Bryan Hogan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 5:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SOT: Bulk SMS out. All, I need to send ~100K SMS messages out a day (No worries, not spam.) I am looking at two options. The first is buying a server solution and the second is using a web service. If I chose the server solution I would have to contract with the carriers and call their APIs directly. The cost for a web service is too much. Has anyone here done this on this scale before? Anyone know of any server solutions, lower cost web services, or any other resources you can point out? Initial setup resources and monthly fees are not as important as per message cost; however, both of course are not unlimited. This is MISSION Critical ENTERPRISE scale and must perform as such. Thanks, B Bryan, I would suggest looking into a SMSC (SMS Aggretagor) to manage connectivity to the carriers. We currently use OpenMarket (www.openmarket.com) as our SMSC. We are currently pushing in the range of ~150k per day and climbing. They offer connectivity via SMPP, which you can utilize the CF Event gateway.

OT: Spry validation
Hey all,
Does anyone know a way within Spry to invoke the default validations from
within a custom validation function? What I am trying to do is verify that the
end date is prior to the start date:
script type=text/javascript
!--
var afterStartDate = function(value, options){
var strStartDate = Spry.$(startDateInput).value;
//start date form element
var stDate = new Date(strStartDate);
var currentDate = new Date(value);
if (currentDate stDate) {
success = true;
}
return false;
}
var startDate = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField(startDate,date,{format:mm/dd/});
var endDate = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField(endDate,date,{format:mm/dd/,validation:
afterStartDate});
--
/script
The problem with the above code is that it does validate that the current date
is greater than the end date, but it fails to check that the entered date is
valid.
For example, if startDateInput.value = '3/18/2008' and the value passed in to
this function is '3/39/2008'. Spry's built in validation would flag this value
as invalid while JS parses the date as April 8th, 2008. What I'd like to do
is to utilize the existing date validation offered by Spry, but to add
additional logic for each specific use case.
I would like to add something like:
if ( endDate.validate() ) { // use spry to test validation first
return false;
}
⦠continue with custom validation
Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Rich

RE: Database not found - error message
Dan, I apologize I did not realize that you were utilizing Dreamweaver (DW) to generate the CF code to power this page. When you connected your database to ColdFusion, you were forced to give it a name to identify that connection. I do not use DW, so I am not sure the exact process used to connect the database to your project, but when you set the project up, I assume you had to select which database to connect. We are trying to see what was generated in the underlying code. The code snipped you are looking for (in the code) will look similar to: CFQUERY NAME=rs_christmas DATASOURCE=DSNsettingName SELECT * FROMyourTableInTheDatabase /CFQUERY This code is the actual logic that queries your mySQL database to return the records. Most likely it will be contained in the file where you loop over the rs_christmas result set. Once you find this code block, you will need to notice the DATASOURCE attribute. This is the value that tells CF which previously configured database connection to use. You will need to ensure that goDaddy has configured your database with that name, or else change your code to match the name goDaddy has configured. Hopefully that clears things up. Good luck!

RE: Duh question of the day...
Since you var scoped the query name, the variable q becomes local to the method. If you were to remove the var scoping, it would leak into the variables scope, and (under load) would have caused strange behavior, and would make it very hard to track down the source of the bug. This is the reason so many of us on this list preach var scoping.

RE: Find/Replace for Eclipse
Actually is more to the Find/Replace differences that I have not explained and like. For example in DW you hit ctrl-f and then window that comes up will let you define a few things like search in just that document or all documents across that site/project and so on. Eclipse works in much the same way, when you use (the default) ctrl-f shortcut, you get a very simple search / replace dialog for only the current document. Using the (again, default) ctrl-h shortcut, you get a more advanced search dialog. This interface will allow you to search (and/or replace) by workspace, project, or even just selected files. The search results pane allows you to drill into the found results and by double clicking an entry, you are taken directly to the line where the search term was found.

can use next/prev to cycle through them.

RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey
rant It seems that many people step up on their soapbox and proclaim that insert tool here does not perform insert personal requirement here. The problem that Adobe is trying to solve is a rather large one. The CF community has a very diverse user base, ranging from seasoned application developers familiar with low level languages requesting tools available in those languages to hobbyists who want a WYSIWYG environment. We are a large and diverse group, both in terms of skills and requirements. I believe that some people need to realize that their personal must have feature is not necessarily even needed by other developers within this community. There is no one right answer to this very challenging problem, but I am happy that Adobe is attempting to craft an IDE that will address all of our needs. /rant My personal hope is that Adobe will develop an Eclipse based solution so that we as a community can leverage the existing tools that exist for the platform and do not need to rely on Adobe to provide every tool that we can dream up. Mark has done an amazing job with CFE, but at the end of the day, he is still just one man. With the weight (and money) of Adobe behind an Eclipse based tool, we would all be very much better off IMHO.

RE: CFMX 7 - Java class reloading
Do Java classes automatically get reloaded when placed in the default location of C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes? No, you must restart the server instance. I don't know if this has been suggested, but another route is to use a URL classloader to avoid having to restart the instance.

RE: Globalization Question
(1) would the process of managing translations for a db be that much different than managing translations for resource bundle properties files? I think the main difference during translation would be in what you provide the translator. Utilizing text based resource bundles you can provide two files, one the local version and the other the English version. The translator will translate directly into the new RB and return that to you. Utilizing a DB backed RB you have to either develop a UI for the RB editing, or export from the DB to a text file to send to the translator. (2) I'm certainly not trying to re-invent the wheel, IMO there are a few key reasons to use text based RB's. First, using the tools to manipulate RBs make it easy to switch between bundles which would have to be custom developed with your solution (e.g. your 'locale' column that would have to be inserted into every table that contained rb's). A second reason (IMO) is the dependency that is needlessly created between the code and the DB server.

RE: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
1. How do I install the jar file on our server?
You need to upload the jar file to the server, and place it on ColdFusion's
classpath (/{cfroot}/lib/ will work).
2. The code you provided looks good and simple (which is what I'm looking
for!). Will it work with the OpenSMPP jar file, or will I need to change
the methods to ones that are in OpenSMPP?
The example code I provided was for OpenMarkets / Simplewire's API. If you
are using the SMPP.jar you will need to use it's API. There is a sample
java application at
http://opensmpp.logica.com/CommonPart/Download/javatest_1_1/smpptest_full.zi
p that you can look at for reference to what you need to do to utilize it.
I have not worked directly with the OpenSMPP API so I can't help to much
there, but if I can get some time over the weekend I'll see if I can
translate that java test app into CF.
Good luck!

RE: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
Dave,
Do you have a SMSC (SMS Center) or an SMS Gateway? Currently we work with
OpenMarkets, which provides a java api that we leverage to send SMS, PSMS,
etc.
Either using an API provided from your SMSC, or OpenSMPP (which I assume is
where you found SMPP.jar) will be rather easy. You need to install the jar
file on your server, and then you can access it via createobject.
For Simplewire / OpenMarkets here is a sample:
cfscript
sms = createObject('java','com.simplewire.sms.SMS');
sms.setSubscriberID(subscriberID); // SMSC ID
sms.setSubscriberPassword(subscriber_password); // SMSC password
sms.setDestinationAddr(+#destAddress#); // user phone number
sms.setSourceAddr(SMS.ADDR_TYPE_NETWORK, sourceAddress); // phone
number / shortcode
sms.setMsgText('Sending you a message!');
sms.submit();
/cfscript

RE: Copying a CFC Persisted in Session Scope
I realize this topic may have been covered on this list a while back, but
I'm having problems locating a good answer, so here goes. Typically in our
administrative web sites, on a request, we copy over our session variables
to the request scope so we can have read-access to the information without
having to place locks all over the place.
I would suggest that you create a Session Facade and then have all your
objects reference the façade. It is generally a bad idea to have an object
reference an external scope (session, request, etc.), and this technique
hides the implementation from your business objects.
Assuming you wanted to return an 'admin' object, your objects would use a
sessionFaçade.getAdminObject() and the function within the façade would look
like the following (excluding locks, etc. for the sake of simplicity):
function getAdminObject() {
Return session.adminObject
}

RE: Copying a CFC Persisted in Session Scope
And having references to sessionFacade.getFoo() everywhere is somehow better than having references to session.foo? I think you are getting stuck on the name 'sessionFacade'; I was attempting to suggest abstracting access to the variable of which his components had no direct knowledge. If my code is calling userService.getFoo() instead of a reference to session.foo then I think that is absolutely a better choice to utilize a facade. The added benefit of using the façade is that you can unit test the service (by using a mock object). That sort of session facade is not a coherent object and having sessionfacade everywhere means you have not encapsulated use of session scope at all - you've just required that people call functions to get at data. It seems as though you are mixing concepts; a well designed object, and how it access an external scope. I believe that within a well designed object, it should not reference a scope it does not directly have access to and should use a façade to get access to that data. The better solution is to consider what data you have in session scope in the first place and encapsulate each piece of data in an object that relates to that data. I agree completely. You might have a user object in session scope - encapsulate that knowledge in a userService (singleton). That way you've encapsulated how the user is stored - none of your application code knows about session scope (or sessionFacade!). I agree that the application should utilize a service to interact (in your example) a user, but again, I think the service should not access the session directly either, it should use a façade to access the session. You ask the service to perform operations on the current user and it knows how to do that. It can even give you the user object if you want to operate on it directly. That means your application code is only dependent on a fully encapsulated service. It also means that you can change how the user object is stored independent of any other data in session scope (because that other data is encapsulated elsewhere) and nothing in your application needs to change. I could not agree more. - Rich Kroll ~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the What's New PDF now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292285 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
CF7 Verity Issues. Any help/comments would be appreciated
I have a few Verity Collections on a Windows 2003 server running CFMX 7.0.2 with hotfix 3 installed,that index documents on my site. I set up a scheduled task to index the documents nightly. This had been working great, but now the index fails with the error. The collection is not available: com.verity.coll.VCollectionNotAvailableException: Collection down after opening. (10) When a user searches the site they get an error: Error executing the CFSearch Tag Collection (Status Code): mycollection(-1705). I can not find any doc on Verity error codes on Adobe's site that explains this error other than The Collection is down. No resolutions, nothing. The only solution I have found that works is stopping the Search Services, deleting the collection folder under cfmxroot/verity/collections restarting the service and re-creating the collection, then doing a manual index. I am pulling out what hair I have left trying to figure out what this issue is and how to correct it. Anyone else have any similar issues/advice.

RE: 2007 Web Design Survey
So go ahead, disagree, call me a bonehead, it's just one opinion. I think developers work very hard for their earnings and have high expectations. We're the gate keepers to the Web site world and I see us moving towards becoming a commoditity and it makes me sad. I hope you share some similar views and that I'm not just on my own osolated little planet. 8-) I don't completely disagree with the points you made, but I think your points are based on a survey that is skewed. I believe that the survey was targeting web *design* professionals, not developers / engineers. Design professionals traditionally have lower salaries than engineers. That said, I completely agree with your statement regarding the erosion of web design professionals salary compared to the increase in skills necessary to perform the respective job, not to mention inflation. In regards to engineers, I believe that we are in a great position (both in terms of need and compensation) as most software engagements are utilizing the web to a large degree.

RE: Rollback db changes in CFCUnit/CFUnit tests
Here is the ant script that I was referring to the properties file that
powers it. Also included are the caveats that I gave Janet:
A few caveats:
1. It is targeted specifically to MSSQL.
2. I am using the open source JTDS drivers (
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/) to access our databases.
One problem I ran into when resetting our database was when constraints
existed on existing tables so I use some MSSQL specific SQL to temporarily
detach the constraints during the reset process. If you are not using
MSSQL, you will need to change the insert operation to CLEAN_INSERT (if i
remember correctly) as it is currently using MSSQL_CLEAN_INSERT in addition
to updating the constraint code. I hope this helps you with what you are
working on.
Good luck!

RE: CFC Composition and/or Extention
Now I could do this in my super classes create() method, by having it return the ID for the entry it just created, however this does feel a little unusual, mainly because I'm not used to working with super objects, is that the correct way At the end of SUPER.create( ARGUMENTS.SubObject ) you can have the parent DAO call ARGUMENTS.SubObject.setID( newlyCreatedId ) which will make it available in the child. Make sure you make this a transaction so you don't end up having orphaned IDs in the parent table.

RE: Splitting UI and Data
I think I would like to use some kind og MVC (Model-View-Controler). But I don't want to use a standard framework like fusebox. I think that it is too complex for my porpose. If you are planning on using MVC I would strongly suggest using an existing framework (Mach-ii, Model-Glue, FuseBox). With the large quantity of tutorials available you can get up to speed quickly on your chosen framework. If you are new to MVC and OO development, using an existing framework will guide you toward best practice development. The learning curve necessary to roll your own MVC framework will be so steep as to be almost impossible. Also remember that there is a large amount of community support, which translates into a large support system for the inevitable questions that will come up.

Which means, of course, make sure this whole process is wrapped in a cftransaction block so that it succeeds or fails as a single unit.

RE: Scary fun with variables scopes.
I don't think its a structure. Just a variable name with a . in it. But this is unconsistent with the way CF really works: Try CFSET test.test = 0 CFDUMP var=#test# CFDUMP shows that test is a structure with a variable test, not a variable test.test The way CF really works in the example you provided is implicitly creating a structure when you use that syntax. In the previous example, since session is an existing structure CF cannot create it so it treats it as a variable session.test that it places into the URL scope. You can test this behavior by running the code below: cfset tester.testme = 'i am alive' / !--- creates a structure --- cfdump var=#tester# cfdump var=#url# If you place these in a file (test.cfm) and browse them with the following urls: Test.cfm Test.cfm?tester.test=1 You will see that the exact same phenomenon occurs; when the struct already exists, CF cannot implicitly create it and creates a variable with the name provided.

RE: Rollback db changes in CFCUnit/CFUnit tests
Thanks. I'm new to unit testing in general, so sorry if this is a dumb question :) .. I think I understand the concept of DBUnit, but I can't visualize where it fits into picture. Are DBUnit tests something separate, written in java, or do they somehow tie into my CFUnit/CFCUnit tests? Can you give me a high-level description of how it hooks into the process? Janet -- disclaimer -- I am not a DBUnit expert, and am only using a small portion of its features! -- end disclaimer -- With that said...I will give you an overview of how I am using DBUnit. Step 1: I start by seeding my database. Once that is done I use DBUnit to export a snapshot of the database. Step 2: Proceed to develop new features, bug fixes, etc. Step 3: When development is complete and prior to running my unit tests, I use DBUnit to reset the db back to a last known good state to remove any data that was inserted during development. Step 4: I run my unit tests that test functionality with limited / no data and let my unit tests populate the db. This allows for testing of how the system performs with and without expected data. Step 5: I run a cleanup script that includes a DBUnit reset. Step 6: goto step 2 and repeat. HTH, Rich Kroll ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Instantiating all objects within Application.cfm
Your inventory CFC does not contain any instance data, and thus would be a good candidate for placing in the application scope. To help you understand the difference, consider the following CFC: cfcomponent cfset variables.myname = / cffunction name=init cfreturn this / /cffunction cffunction name=setName cfargument name=myName / cfset variables.myname = arguments.myname / /cffunction cffunction name=getName cfreturn variables.myname / /cffunction /cfcomponent If this CFC was placed into the application scope, you would run into race conditions. This sequence could happen if this CFC was placed in a shared scope: User A calls setName(Rich), User B calls setName(Vince), User A calls getName() and is returned Vince. Since your CFC does not contain any instance data, it can safely be placed in a shared scope.

It seems to me, at least with my CFC's design, that there is no reading of the data into the application memory space, thus no need to reinit unless I change the CFC itself. This behavior is what I would expect but having said that, is there a 'better', way? You are correct. The design that he provided showed a method of caching the results in the CFC's internal memory and a way to refresh that data when changes were made. Rich ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: SMS portal
Poking around in that page and the Solutions page, I'm not seeing anything jumping out at me with regards to cost on this, as far as per-message - does this thing just crank out SMS messages without a per-message financial hit? Honestly, I don't work with the financial portions of this. I found pricing on the old simplewire site (http://www.simplewire.com/store/platform/) where they offered both per message pricing as well as dedicated pricing plans so I assume that OpenMarket manages pricing in a similar fashion. The beauty of working with an aggregator is that you don't have to worry about talking to each carrier directly; the aggregator manages getting your SMS onto the carrier's network (including 2-way, MMS, Premium SMS, etc). The problem is that they charge for this service. There are some resources out there for a DIY approach. One such approach is based on email. Most carriers have an email address tagged to each mobile number ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example), and your application could simply only support carriers that you define and when a user inputs their phone number, they must specify their carrier. Then you simply email alerts to their mobile.

RE: Server hanging. Wierd problems. HELP!
If your server was performing well, and then suddenly began these seemingly random slowdowns I would look at recently deployed code. When we experienced these types of problems, we brought in a 3rd party consultancy to help diagnose the problem. Our problem turned out to be code that was recently deployed which contained a CFSWITCH statement inside of a loop that were evaluating as strings, which when under load caused threads to back up and eventually hang the server. A trick they showed us to diagnose these types of issues was to generate a few thread dumps and compare the results. A thread that was present across the dumps signaled a good place to investigate as a problem area. Here is a tech note on how to capture thread dumps from JRun: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_18250sliceId=1 In the thread dump look for lines that begin with jrpp-, these are the currently processing threads and they will contain the underlying java as well as the CF that were being executed at the time of the dump.

I can roll my own code coverage tool to give generic 5% test coverage type responses from the meta data of the CFCs, but with the (great!) unit testing surge in the CF community I was hoping there was a preexisting solution. I know that test coverage reports can be misleading as even with 100% coverage, the quality of the tests are (generally) a more important metric. That said, we are interested in analyzing the increase in unit tests in relation to developer productivity (ease of refactoring), regression bugs, etc. Rich Kroll ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: delay sending email
I think when you say before the event that you are no longer talking about delaying the email, but scheduling WHEN the email should be sent. In that case you are looking at event scheduling and it could be something as simple as a scheduled task, or you could get rather complex by leveraging Quartz (a java scheduling engine). HTH, Rich Kroll -Original Message- From: Mik Muller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 3:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: delay sending email Hey all, I've been wondering about delayed sending of email. What would the best way to, for example, not send an email at the moment an event is posted to a site, but, say, 12 hours before the event. How would YOU do it, using CF7 and IIS / SMTP.

Unit Testing Code Coverage
Is anyone aware of a code coverage tool for CF unit tests? If not, how are the rest of you handling unit test coverage (if at all)? - Rich Kroll ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286637 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Anyone else seen this
We are running CF 7.0.2 on a Windows 2003 server and we are having issues with
the mail spooler. When sending a large amount of mail the spooler will stop
running and it throws this error.

Now my first thought is that it is something with my JVM arguments, since we
tweaked it to get better performance. But I am not seeing anything that would
cause an out of memory error? Any suggestions/Comments would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: Could not unlock the named lock
Was this HotFix ever released? We are having this same issue and are current with all updaters and hotfixes. This hot fix will hopefully be available in the next 2 - 4 weeks. The fix is being built for 7.02. Plans for a 7.01 hot fix are not clear at this point. You can check the current hot fixes at http://www. adobe.com/go/tn_17883 for this fix. Ken Gentlemen, We are currently testing a hot fix for this issue. Feel free to contact me and I will make it available once testing is completed. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a quite late reply, but as of today I can say I've seen this error message. I was about to ask and see if you figured it out, but I just thought of a very reasonable explanation, mine occurred for a few clients at around the same time that I changed my cfapplication name. I believe that coldfusion stores client variables with the appname prepended to them, so that would make it have that error the first time it tries to access them. Does that match up with your scenario at all?

Re: Verity Hanging issue
Just so there is a record. I believe I solved this. At the end of both of my cfindex calls I did a cfdump of the records. Well, I removed this dump and everything worked. I also had our IS dept, turn off all Virus scanning of the CFusionMX7 directory. So it was one of those two things. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
