Re: CF version of JIRA?
It is usually good advice to not reinvent the wheel, but there is a place for new projects. Sometimes you want to roll your own ticket system and I have done that for a variety of reasons such as flexibility or integrating with a code base. It really depends on how complex of a system you need and what sorts of systems you want to connect to it. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://RogerTheGeek.wordpress.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:360287 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Advise in optimizing an application
Any chance to have the database engine do all that record logic? That would be the first thing I would try. Stored procedures are great for things like this. I don't know what RDMS you are using, but most have SQL that can do this. Complex database stuff is usually better off doing within the database as it can scale. 1 store the four Excel fields in a temporary table in the database 2 Use SQL to weed out all the records against the current tables. Google for examples. 3 Dump the parsed records into the production table. 2 and 3 probably are one step in the database engine, but the SQL might be tedious so my first thought is to separate it. Good luck, Roger Les Mizzell lesm...@bellsouth.net wrote: Evening, I'm still fighting with my Excel Import application a bit. Basically, it works pretty well, as long as there's a limited number of records being imported. Problem is, the client tried to import a list with almost 15,000 addresses today, and it eventually timed out or the server reset the connection before it finished the import. Then my phone rings... The app does several things: 1. Import 4 columns from an excel sheet [email][first name][last name][company] into an array 2. Check the email address to see if it's valid. If not, delete that row from the array 3. Check the email address to see if it's been previously unsubscribed from the list and delete that row from the array 4. Check the list against other email addresses already in the database for that list, and delete that row so as to not import it if it's already there. 5. After all that, write the record Running some test with the 15,000 address sheet Reading the Excel sheet in and running steps 1 through 4 above is taking well over 10 minutes by itself. Writing the record after that, enough extra time to be sure it borks up. Smaller list (several hundred addresses) seem to import fine - MUCH faster than the former POI based app. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://RogerTheGeek.wordpress.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:359649 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Quick Survey
Surveys are interesting, but caution must be used in looking at the results. A lot of the analysis on what to learn depends on the developer's background, location, industry, age, etc. For example, someone nearing retirement would look at it differently than a 30 year old person. Someone in RTP, SV, NYC, Austin, or Boston would look at it differently than someone in Montana or Tulsa. If all you know is web development the answer might be different than someone with a deep CS education. I guess if I had to pick one, I would move to Python or some functional language like Clojure. (Wait, that's not just one.) If all I was after is money, I might look at moving to a job as a DBA or moving into the MS space as those are advertised a lot.

Re: CF to groovy, awe man wth...
Of course you want to learn it. I'll skip the discussion on whether it is a good idea to rewrite everything in a new language or not since business decisions don't have to make sense. The man with the gold makes the rules. The standard procedure in most industries is to decide to write all new applications in another language, then proceed. They keep the legacy people around for maintenance and hire a bunch of kids to write the new stuff. Then, they fire all the old people and keep the kids who now are in legacy mode. As a geezer, you have to jump into the new stuff when you get half of a chance even if you have to learn it on your own dime. Having them pay for you to learn the new stuff is gold.

Well, if the job is just to create dynamic CSS, CF can do the same way it can create dynamic HTML. It can either create static .CSS files whenever styles muste be changed. For instance, in my CMS I have a styles editor with all parameters stored in a database. It can also create 100% dynamic CSS, like in LINK HREF=myStyles.cfm... although in that case CSS files cannot be cached on client side, but I suppose it will be the same with LESS files. The LESS files are processed to get your CSS files. LESS=source; CSS=compiled. Probably a bad analogy. :) -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://rogerthegeek.wordpress.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:356750 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Access will not process 20141 as a valid year in a date field. It only
goes up to . Dates are stored as double floating point fields with
the fraction holding the time and the value representing the date.
Access code will take dates as #mm/dd/# format so
DuesExpire = #04/30/2014#, would be valid in your UPDATE

I would not assume the limits on IsDate() or createODBCDate()
and the internal database engine date/time representation to be
working off the same rules.

Re: Getting output into a div using cfdocument
Bruce Sorge sor...@gmail.com wrote: I'm starting to figure that out. I even included the JS library in the cfdocument tag and still nada. This sucks. If I were on my own server I'd have no issues downloading BBQ or something like that, but since I am on a hosted server I am pretty much limited in what I can do. It seems to me that the plugin is generating the CSS client side so the backend cfdocument will never have it to generate it to include in the PDF file on the server. It would work on your browser since jQuery is running there locally. That is why the Java solutions (backend) work. For simple barcode symbology, you might be able to generate the CSS for all the characters, and start and stop symbols. You could hard wire that inside your cfdocument CSS (if all you were using were 0-9 chars.) That would be painful, but probably very useful. I would think that something like 3 of 9 could be done that way. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://RogerTheGeek.wordpress.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:356664 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

The last time I had to deal with significant figures was in Pascal or Fortran. My approach was to write a procedure that would take the real value and the number of significant figures. I would multiply by 10*sigfigs, truncate, then create the string representing the decimal value. I would test the number of values from the decimal point and pad with 0s if needed. All I needed was the resulting text sort of like a Hollerith in Fortran. It has been 25+ years ago, but I think that's what I did. Note that real numbers are stored in logarithmic format so you need to pass strings after you convert. It gets complicated if you need to have the real value back so you can do math. I remember having code that would do basic math functions (+-*/) on two string values of numbers and calculate the proper number of sig figs when the two numbers had varying significant figures (i.e., 1.89325 * 10.1.

Re: CF running out of steam
As fun as a discussion like this is, I would caution people to avoid basing your career off of one product or system. No matter who you work for, you are a small business with one employee. Make decisions about your capabilities with that in mind. Be objective about decisions that are out of your control. You should have at least one plan B. Never stop learning new things inside and outside of programming. I remember the discussion when CF changed from very low cost to an enterprise price (V3-V4?). I gave it up and went with ASP since it was free. The same discussions about price were happening back then. I don't know the answer, but CF has had a lot of resilience. (I ended up back in CF once I started using corporate servers.) The main thing anyone can do is be active in the CF community, but be realistic. Nothing lasts forever. What would realistically happen to CF developers if Adobe canned ColdFusion? Most enterprises that use it would keep it running for a while and employ people to rewrite applications eventually. I don't know how long Adobe will keep ColdFusion, but I assume for some time in the future. Don't let something out of your control define your future (or at least hedge your bets.) The development landscape changes every few years. You have time to deal with it if you stay informed on trends. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Google+: https://plus.google.com/117357905892731200369 ~| 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:355047 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Adobe Abandons Flex
Many companies will make policy on standard browsers. They write those standards in the specs for applications when they buy or write them. Back during the time of IE6, it was commonly the standard browser for businesses so developers created applications using IE6 only techniques like COM and/or ActiveX objects. This is still happening. Making applications work in all browsers is a specification that adds to costs. We might think that apps working in all browsers is a no-brainer, but many people in businesses look at it differently. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Google+: https://plus.google.com/117357905892731200369 ~| 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:348783 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Having someone back you up is an expense that most companies won't want to sustain. It is only a backup plan which is rarely needed. I would say that more important is to get the bigger picture stuff sorted out like general guidelines, source control, testing, documentation, etc. sorted out across the team. If someone leaves, those remaining would know where to look for things. You also might want to build a library of primitive functions for the group. That way, people are using the same building blocks if that is possible. There are other ways to keep in touch, but most developers that I have met were very busy so the communication is tough.

One other thing that I think is critical is to get an inventory of all the applications and who is working on them. That should be used to set up a risk assessment as to what is the most critical to have backup. You might even get management's thoughts on what they think are critical or most important. Then, you have an idea of what steps to take. You might get away with only having backup to a few systems rather than every single one. Not everything people work on will destroy the company.

Perhaps I didn't understand the offer, but it sure seemed like online (i.e. the cloud) was the repository?? If so, I'm curious why the cloud is seen as a safe backup solution? The only use I can see for cloud based backups is a secondary backup in case of say a fire at home (where you may not have a fire safe)...or perhaps a flood. To use it as primary backup seems even more prone to problems than a kid yanking on cords (given that it's beyond your controlbut it would be safe from your own kids...hehe). The cloud is one way to backup. The advantage to it is that it can be set up to work independently and automatically. You can also set up local media to do the same or use some sort of removable media and store off-site. The easiest way to backup means you are more likely to do it. In that way, a cloud backup may be the easiest after it is set up. Restores also should be thought out since restoring large backups could be an issue in a pinch. The only thing that I backup are files I can't reproduce like photo files or old email I have POPed off the server. There are also a few other files that I have created and are not on a server somewhere. I archive photos semiannually to DVDs and CDs and store them in a safe deposit box. I also have them on a disk locally. I backup my files to a separate disk semi-automatically in case of hard disk failure. The bigger issue for me is the loss of a working environment if a laptop or desktop image goes mental. In that case, cloning a drive may be an idea. It takes forever to get back to work if you lose a development environment. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Google+: https://plus.google.com/117357905892731200369 ~| 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:347104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

From everything I saw and heard, ColdFusion 10 is going to be a great improvement and in ways that may not be obvious at first. There are many new security tags. There is a huge improvement in the administrator that we saw including one-click hot fixes. These things were in the presentations and no one had to sign NDAs so I assume the information is out in the wild. I got a great feeling of relief in meeting and talking with the team from Adobe.

Re: Adobe Solution?
Scott Spurlock spurlock.sc...@yahoo.com wrote: I apologize in advance since this isn't a CF question, but I'm desperate and hoping this is at least an Adobe question. A client of mine wants to create a form for users to fill out electronically. He then wants to take their responses (attached via email) and upload the data to an Access 2007 database. He absolutely does not want this to be web-based. He ideally wanted me to create an interactive form in PDF. I thought, Sure, no problem. The problems I'm running into? Importing PDF data into Access appears to involve an extra step (converting the PDF to text or XML or Excel) which he/the client would have to do (since he's the one getting the returned forms). Worse is that he wants some multi-select drop-down lists in the form and I'm not seeing a way to do this in a PDF (I've played around with both Acrobat Pro and LiveCycle Designer). And without VBA skills I don't have, I'm not even seeing how to do this in an Excel or Word form. I'm getting stuck and turn to you kind sirs for your advice. How would you do this? So, he wants the people to fill out a PDF form and email the form to him. Then he wants to be able to scrape the form field data off and into Access DB. Does that sound like the issue? There probably is a better solution using Visual Basic. You might be able to write something in VB to use an Acrobat component to read the PDF and fish out the form data and put it in the database table for each PDF. You might even be able to do this in batch form. There would need to be a lot of PDF forms to make it worth doing though. There is a reason that web/database work is so popular. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://rogerthegeek.wordpress.com/ http://www.misshunt.com/ Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet ~| 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:346219 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

And the only way to avoid those distractions is to be away from them. There are disciplines that you need for working remotely that don't come into play at the office. The office is the most common way to work so some issues with productivity are muted by the fact that the boss saw you there working and knew you weren't just goofing off. If you are out of the office, many bosses wonder if you are actually working. That said, there are people working in offices that get very little accomplished. Everyone is different, but I think there are some ideas that allow home working to be as productive or more than office work. One is that you need the proper setup and environment to do good work. For many people, that is a separate space with the equipment setup that allows for work. If you are working on the kitchen table, you might have a problem concentrating as people eat their cereal. Another difficulty can be all the little issues that pop up that auto-magically get taken care of by office managers and other office staff. You order your own supplies, answer your own calls, make your own coffee, etc. I work at home at least one day a week and it is great, but there I'm still trying to get my setup fleshed out so it is as productive as the office. Some tasks are no different from home to office. Others are more complicated by being away. Most of these are not related to software development though. (Many of us who do CFML development wear multiple hats.) I think I would be very happy working at home full time. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://rogerthegeek.wordpress.com/ http://www.misshunt.com/ Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet ~| 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:345571 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

This is the first time it happens in about 10 years I've bee using this method. I thought the template would never be compiled because of CFABORT in application.cfm, now I see it is not the case. Since the problem has happened once in 10 years, I would try to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and do a Save As while reducing the size or updating some of the tags.

I've heard a similar story a few times, and I don't get it. If I had a large stack of cards, especially one that had to stay ordered, I'd get a piece of string and make a quick bundle, and then you remove the risk of them separating in transit. Alternatively, a simple box would probably work - I assume cardboard boxes had been invented back then? :P Of course, the less high-tech solution is to just look where you're going and not be clumsy. ;) I always had them in boxes. You didn't want to tie them up or use too many rubber bands or sometimes they wouldn't go through the readers properly. Paper tape from the teletypes were similarly sensitive at times, but much more forgiving than cards. I still have a paper tape reader in my office in case there is something in our regulatory archive on paper tape. As a side note, the paper used for cards was really nice card stock. Used cards and the dots from the paper tape punch offered incredible opportunities for pranks.

The courses might be useful for the O.P. but they don't tell an employer anything so the certificate itself is worthless, IMO. As in most things, it depends. A certificate might not be worth the paper and ink in reality, but it can be the difference between getting in the door. Many hiring decisions are not made on reality, but on perception. Many corporate job search criteria are not set up by knowledgeable people in the field. HR people do a lot of it and certifications are one way they break ties. They can put your resume in play where it would be in the reject pile otherwise. I would not discount them completely. I have seen many job announcements with certifications as necessary though most of them were in Microsoft based systems. (MS has made a lot of money on certifications.) It is also true that corporate organizations look for ways to show differences between employees. Getting certified is measurable. (All the MBAs love to measure stuff.) Getting a certification can get you a raise or promotion in many places. Of course, many independent developers probably have no use for certifications since they are irrelevant in the real world. I would encourage anyone to continue to take classes and even teach them in your field.

Okay,
So - it wasn't a JVM issue. Updating it did not change the results.
And Steve was right, in a way. But I still don't understand why it should be
this way.
First, Steve, I understand what you're saying about whenever you display a
time. But in practice, I'm not displaying a time at all. I'm simply
creating a date/time value and adding a number of seconds to it, then
inserting into a database.
So to my way of thinking - and according to every doc I've ever read - the
dateAdd function should do exactly what you tell it to do: just add the
increments to the original date.
But what's happening DOES involve DST - though not the time zone. I don't
know why. It shouldn't. But it does, at least in CF9.
Try this for yourself: Daylight Savings Time began at 2:00 AM Eastern on
March 14, 2010. So run the following:
cfset myDate = createDate(2010,3,14) /
cfdump var=#myDate# /brbr
cfset myDate2 = DateAdd('s',1271779666,myDate)
cfdump var=#myDate2# /brbr
myDate is two hours _before_ DST went into effect. On two different CF9
servers, one on EDT, the other on CDT, the result for myDate2 was:
{ts '2050-07-01 17:07:46'}
Now change the createDate to (2010,3,15) - _after_ DST went into effect. On
the same servers, the result was:
{ts '2050-07-02 16:07:46'}
The original date was changed by a day. But the result of the dateAdd
statement changed by 23 hours.
I wish I could test this on CF8 and/or 7, but the only servers with those
versions to which I have access are in Arizona, where they don't use DST.
Those servers return the 16:07:46 timestamp. But without having the machines
set to DST, I can't tell if CF is acting differently or not.

RE: Anyone else have the latest CFBuilder crashing constantly?
I have the same cut-n-paste memory issues in the production version. I am giving it my 60 day trial before deciding on CFB vs CFE. This cut-n-paste lockup bug is very annoying. I find that I am retyping things rather than cut-n-paste frequently due to the bug. Jason Durham jdur...@cti-stl.com wrote: I'm having the same problem on Win7 64-bit.

Re: Dynamic SQL Column Names
On 4/14/2010 8:39 PM, Doug Ford wrote: Hi Folks - I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get the results I am looking for. Here's the background - I am dealing with dynamic environment allowing losers, I mean users, to enter in field names. This is a business product so anything is possible. When a user of the product creates the columns, they have no knowledge of coldfusion or sql, so if a person enters in VIN # as a piece of information they wish to capture, VIN # becomes a column header. Now then, on any given random form my system would be creating, I won't know how many fields or their names. If a person creates 5 or 500 fields, I have no clue, and I won't know what column names they could ultimately create. I have been toying with getColumnList() to display the column titles, but how would I get the actual data out of it? I have tried using evaluate on the field names, but when it comes across VIN #, the system blows up. Any and info is appreciated. Thanks, Doug Consider abstracting the database schema. Hold the column names in a table with an ordinal key. Store the column contents in another table with a foreign key back to the columns. Never trust user input.

RE: ColdFusion Builder Released!
This whole discussion has gotten tedious and needs to go off-line. Adobe software has never been cheap. Acrobat, Photoshop, etc. People purchase the packages because they need them and have no other choices, or because they believe they are a good value for their situation. I don't plan on purchasing CFBuilder any time soon since I don't believe it is ready at version 1. I have been using CFEclipse lately and it does almost everything that I need. I may change my mind later when corporate IT allows us to use CF9.

That is one reason I want to give CFEclipse a try before I go any further with CFBuilder. I am not going to see CF9 for a long while so the features in CFB for ORM, etc., are irrelevant to me at this point. Also, the beta was so buggy that I was going to give up on it. I look on this new product as a $99 beta version which includes a $200 Flash Builder product that I don't particularly need (at this time.)

Re: Anyone else have the latest CFBuilder crashing constantly?
Thanks Scott. I did do that some time ago and it made almost no difference. I did install the standalone CFB version and some folks have suggested that I get Eclipse and then download the add on CFB version. I just haven't had the time and don't think that I will until the final CFB version is released. This brings up an issue that I think is common in the Eclipse world that I have not seen in other areas. People seem to expect to constantly update their editor. I don't expect that and perhaps that is a problem that I will need to overcome. I want to spend my time working on code, not on the tool. I got spoiled with Visual Studio. I also did most of my non MS work in a text editor only so this is one of my first experiences in IDEs except for VS. This may not be a problem with younger folks who are familiar with Eclipse based tools from school. CFBuilder is beta software so I can't complain a lot, but I am going to try out CFEclipse before I spring for it. scott stewart sstwebwo...@bellsouth.net wrote: In addition to this check out this stackoverflow thread on optimizing Eclipse http://stackoverflow.com/questions/142357/what-are-the-best-jvm-settings-for-eclipse The caveat is that it assumes that you're using Eclipse 3.5 + Once you have Eclipse's memory handling tweaked you should see better performance and stability. -- http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek http://www.misshunt.com/ Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet http://www.ncdevcon.com/ TACFUG 2010 Conference in North Carolina ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Adam, I think the main issue for many is that CFBuilder ORM capabilities are the real selling point over CFEclipse. Once people migrate to CF9, there will be a real reason to buy it. At this point, most of us are stuck with CF8 or less so CFB that much better than the alternative. I am using CFB beta 3 and it isn't ready for prime time yet. I hope Adobe engineers are hard at work updating b3 into b4 and are not going to rush the boxed version out the door yet. I sure hope that those engineers weren't on a RIF list. I want Adobe to make money so they can keep employees on the payroll and support us developers with documentation and training. My hope is that they will have a beta 4 that will fix the significant issues with beta 3.

You probably would be too. Right now, I consider a price of $250 like Flex Builder to be too much for most people outside of high end companies. I did put it in my budget for 2010, but that was before I used it extensively.
