Distributive Mode
Looking for help. We currently run CF9 on windows and run it in distributive mode. I set this up by installing coldfusion on one server(using JRUN to run multiple instances), setup a cluster.. then copy the wsconfig.jar file to the IIS web server, install the JRE on web server then run the java -jar wsconfig.jar to load to the web config tool.. I then would enter the host name of the coldfusion box.. it would display the cf cluster on the coldfusion box.. then I would choose the website I wanted to add the coldfusion mapping to.. and all would be good. I am currently trying to setup CF11 in this configuration and am having trouble.. A. finding any documentation on this for CF11 B. getting it to work .. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ~| 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:359478 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Distributive Mode
Distributive mode allowed us to have three servers on three separated tiers. Presentation, Application and Database. Presentation never talking to DB. To me it doesn't seem a good idea to run IIS and Coldfusion on the same server. There is already a load balancer(reverse proxy) in front of the web servers but I prefer not to run IIS and Coldfusion on the same server. Are all Coldfusion installations done on the web server now?

Re: Distributive Mode
For better security...piece of mind, I prefer to have my web servers physically separated from my database servers and distributed mode lets me do this. I finally did find a good article https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/WebSocket+Enhancements that describes exactly what I need to do within CF11.

httponly and cookie-secure
Not sure what I am missing here. We are running Coldfusion 9.0.2 in a clustered environment. I added the -Dcoldfusion.sessioncookie.httponly=true to the jvm.config file. I restart the coldfusion instances. Run an application scan and it still says the y are not httponly (also check using Chrome and it says the same thing). I also added the cookie-config activetrue/active cookie-securetrue/cookie-secure /cookie-config to the jrun-web.xml file in each cf instance as well and the scan comes back with the cookies not being set to secure. This is a very straight forward process that I have implemented on other setups.. so I am really puzzled as to why this is not working on this current environment. Any ideas?

Coldfusion in distributed mode with multiple subnets on host
I am running coldfusion 9 in distributed mode(web server and CF on different servers). I have three web servers and three coldfusion servers running in a clustered environment. The problem is that I can never get the cluster setup or the web servers to see the cluster unless I disable the database NIC on the coldfusion boxes. Our environment is divided into three tiers. Web tier, Application tier and Database tier with the web servers not being able to see the database tier... so the web servers do not have a database NIC and it seems coldfusion is always listening on the .111 subnet (database). This also causes a problem when coldfusion is restarted on one of the app servers because it always rejoins the cluster using it's .111 address and then the web servers do not pass traffic to those coldfusion servers until I shut down the database NIC and then restart the coldfusion services.. It then registers on the App tier subnet which the web servers can see. Any ideas on how to make coldfusion only listen on the App tier ip address and not the database tier ip address? Thanks. ~| 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:356371 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

CFHTTP in Distributed Mode
Have a problem with using an cfhttp get command while running in distributed mode. I have one test lab setup running coldfusion and iis on the same box and the cfhttp get command works great. The other is running in distributed mode (web and cf on different servers) and it fails every time with a Connection Failure error. I have eliminated almost all variables and am left that the only difference is one is running in distributed mode and the other is not. Both tests are running on IIS and Coldfusion 9. If anyone has any ideas as to why a cfhttp get would work on a non distributed mode vs a distributed mode.. I would love any suggestions.

ColdFusion 9 Session Replication
Here's a question hopefully someone can answer. Is it possible to use session replication to multiple instances on different physical servers without having to use CF load-balancing? We have a hardware load balancer in front of the web servers. I would like hardware appliance to handle the load-balancing and failover in the event a failure. All I want CF to do is replicate the sessions so they are available on the other servers if the load balancer marks a server as unavailable.

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
What ColdFusion mappings do you have set up on the CF8 and CF9 boxes? That could explain a difference in behavior. If I can't use virtual directories, what is the approach that others use for testing on a desktop with multiple CF websites? Install Apache, set up multiple sites, and use your host file to have a separate domain for each of them.

Re: Looking for a CF Recipe script!
And if you want to just go way too far-- these logic gates are actually only aware of the current flowing through their traces which is pushed by the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit per Ohm's law. Current is measured in amperes whereas one amp-second is a coulomb of electrical charge, or 6.241E18 electrons flowing through the conductor. So the real question is this: when your computer starts counting all those electrons does it start at 1 as the first one flows by?

RE: Turning off try/catch
If you have debugging turned on, there is a section right under Debugging Information and right above SQL Queries called Exceptions in my 8.0.1 server that list all errors on the page, even if they were try/caught. It doesn't include a stack trace, but it does give you the error message, file, and line number. You might also be able to attach a debugger to your CF instance and have it break on exceptions. If I were you though, I would do a global find and replace and change all instances of cfcatch to cfcatchcfrethrow. That will effectively turn off your try catch and you can put it all back with another find and replace later. Better yet, replace it with cfcatchcfset handleError(cfcatch) where handleError is a custom function you write to do whatever you want with the error. Then you can log it, rethrow it, ignore it, whatever. Thanks! ~Brad On 2010-06-29, at 12:06, Shannon Rhodes wrote: Is there any global way to turn off try/catch handling?

Branching Strategies
We are finally implementing source control for a decently sized CF application were I work with a total of 5-6 CF developers but we can't decide when and how often to branch our code. One co-worker wants to create a branch of every release (we have about a 3-month release cycle) and develop changes for the next release in that branch while day-to-day hot fixes get committed directly to the trunk for immediate deployment. I would rather always commit straight to the trunk and only branch for really big projects which are likely to interfere or break other development because I am afraid of the overhead of merging. I found a lot of good branching theory here: http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/branching/ However, I wanted to hit up the list to get opinions from people with similar sized teams to see what you've found to be a good branching strategy.

RE: Avoiding SQL deadlocks
My understanding and experience is that a well-architected application should NEVER experience a SQL deadlock. If I am incorrect in this premise, please let me know. It's also my understanding and experience is that a well-architected application should NEVER experience bugs of any kind. :) A statement like that may seem safe since the mere existence of a deadlock (or a bug for that matter) could automatically disqualify it from the well-architected list, but honestly in my experience deadlocks more commonly come from the devil-in-the-details, not over-arching failures in system architecture. Based on that assumption, I'm trying to diagnose a client's deadlock problem. They are a new client. I have a copy of their code and a copy of the error, but don't have access to their SQL Server 2005 database. That kind of sucks. It's like me giving an Altas of everywhere I've driven to my mechanic and asking him to fix my car's occasional knocking noise without actually having the car. Due to deadlocks' evasive nature, I've found the best way to capture them is to duplicate them (preferably a staging environment) and analyze SQL traces to identify the database objects involved. I'm told the database has no stored procedures, no functions, triggers, or external jobs running on it, but I suppose that information is wrong. Unless your client has a reason to lie, I would assume that is probably true. They have 3 pages with cftransaction around some code. It appears that this is the code that's throwing this sort of error: Sounds like a good place to start. What tables are being touched in those transactions and in what order? The error isn't actually in index.cfm but I can deduce what page it's on as the site isn't very large and there aren't many queries around line 270 of any pages. Of course, it takes two to tango as well as deadlock. You need to know what the other process was. Was it also the code on line 270 of mysteryPage.cfm or another file entirely? I tried setting the isolation level to serializable, thinking that would bypass the deadlocks. Where? In your cfquery's? In the cftransaction tag? The default for the database? Either way, I'm not surprised if it didn't help. I have usually resolved most deadlocks by refactoring code in such a way that similar locked objects are always locked in the same order. Serializable isolation is enforced in MS SQL with range locks or table locks to eliminate phantom reads, and will probably have little to do with your situation other than lowering concurrency and therefore performance. However, they're still happening. If there's nothing else hitting the databases, and if the queries are simple inserts/updates, should there still be deadlocks? It doesn't take a complex system to create a deadlock if your good... er, unlucky. Your biggest problem now is the unknown. The best you can do with only the CF code is guess. Like I said before, many deadlocks occur when multiple places in your application are modifying the same objects in a different order within a transaction. i.e. page 1 updates records in table a, then table b while page 2 updates records in table b, then table a. Of course, deadlocks don't have to be between tables-- it could be pages in an index. That's why you REALLY need to have them run SQL Profiler and capture deadlocks and their related data. This will tell you the exact resources that in are involved in the error and prevent a lot of guesswork for you. They're really crippling you by asking you to solve this problem without the most critical piece (the database). The execution plan of the offending queries will be invaluable to seeing what is happening. Good luck. ~Brad ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334440 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: How do I solve this path issue for components?
+1 for per-application mappings. You can even get fancy and set it it based on cgi.server_name or path_info so you don't have to change the code between dev and production. Note, for this to work, dev and production need to be in their OWN application. A better solution would be to actually have a dedicated box for your dev server so you can do testing there without fear of ruining your production server's stability. There are also settings I enable on a production server like Trusted Cache that you wouldn't be able to use for a dev server. If you can't spare a separate box, AT LEAST create different sites for dev and production on your server with their own completely separate web root. www.mysite.com and devwww.mysite.com. If you are running CF Enterprise in multi-server mode you can actually have separate instances for dev and production which is the next best thing to a different physical server.

Re: Home Site+ and Windows 7
How many folks think of a web site or a web application when they're editing / creating new files? Do folks really find it a stretch to go from that concept to an actual site/project in their IDE? I'm genuinely curious about this because I can't imagine working without sites / projects and I want to really understand why there is such a pushback on this... Thanx! It's not the files that are already part of my web application that usually present a problem-- it's the exceptions that crop up from time to time that are really annoying. One of the most common scenarios for me is when I've downloaded some bit of code or UDF off the Internet. Since it's not part of any actual site yet and probably laying on my desktop in a zip file, I'll just want to quickly open it up and read through it to see if I feel like using it or just want to delete it. My 2nd most common scenario is usually some bit of javascript or HTML code that I have copied and wish to toss in a temporary .html file and quickly edit for the sake of veiwing in a browser. My 3rd scenario is the very handy HTML and XML code formatted from Homesite. I would regularly use Homsite to open random config files off my hard drive for formatting that had nothing to do with the web. So, sometimes I will want to use a feature of the editor on a random text file. And my 4th scenario is the rare occasion that I would need to open a file directly off one of my staging or production servers via a UNC file path. Loading hundreds of megs of code over a network into a project just to deal with one file is not really an option. Now there might be work-arounds or alternative methods for each of my scenarios, but the fact of the matter is that's what I'm used to, it works very well, and why should I shoe-horn each of those exceptions into a project when they don't need to be? For the rest of the files I edit that are actually part of an established application, I don't have any problem with projects with the exception that Eclipse can sometimes be painfully slow when switching from one to another. ~Brad ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334239 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Coldfusion 9 Windows vs Linux
As far as programming, there should be very little difference. The biggest problems you would have porting over code would be case-sensitivity and the silly little slashes in your file paths all going a different direction. I'm not sure what you mean by tags our there for the Linux version. It's still CFML-- and because it all runs inside the JVM, it's all surprisingly consistent. The only main differences are where you touch the OS. As far as installation and server maintenance, you would have significantly different experience. Firstly, you'll probably be running Apache and MySQL which puts you out there in RTFM land, but it's all doable. I've deployed CF on RedHat and Open Suse with good results.

Re: Transaction locking table, not sure where or why...
Store the data in a temporary structure in memory and then write it to the DB once the uploads are finished. +1 Store the data in a struct or array and wait until you have all the data to open your transaction. Do this and your problem with disappear. Also, in the places you are reading from the album table I would recommend setting the isolation for that connection only. Also keep in mind that the cftransasction tag's default isolation level is read committed, and it will reset it every time you open the tag. If you want to change the isolation level of the transaction, use the isolation attribute of the cftransaction tag. That being said, I don't think that's what you want to do. You want to change the isolation level of the query READING from the table. Also, run some traces to see if your updates are causing row locks or are escalating to table locks. I think that might be what Leigh was getting at. I don't know that I can recommend setting your global isolation level to read uncommitted. Locks are for a reason and I've seen some weird hard-to-find errors in systems where over-zealous DBA's used read uncommitted for EVERYTHING. :) ~Brad ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333705 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: SQL data integrity
Firstly I have absolutely no experience here and you should probably consult with an attorney with experience in this kind of thing. My best idea would be to institute a process to automatically ship all your nightly backups and or transaction logs to a third party to hold on to. If your data was ever brought into question that third party could independently verify that the data really was there on that date. That would be a heck of a lot of data- but I guess you have to ask yourself how much you are willing to pay for this kind of thing. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: cfhttp Connection Failure
There's a good chance that you simply haven't found the correct combination of header values yet for that web server. First of all, why would you use this? Accept-Encoding: * That tells the server that ANY encoding is valid. In theory, the most restrictive Accept-Encoding header would be: Accept-Encoding: *;q=0 That should indicated that ALL forms (except identity of course).

Do you think that the laterooms server is ignoring the TE header? I also looked at the headers using the java.net.URL approach and it does not send an Accept-Encoding or a TE header just an Accept header.

I'd like to second Dave Watts' comments. It is true that cfhttp can't handle compressed responses and if you are hitting a web server that is gzipping the HTTP response you will get a Connection Failure message even though that doesn't seem at all like the appropriate message for the occaision.

RE: DateDiff() and Minutes Wierdness
I was thinking that the function could function when the arguments are essentially the same day. I'm a little confused. The dateDiff() function DOES work when the arguments are the same day. Have we led you to believe otherwise, or are you talking about a different function functioning? Here's what I did to solve the problem: when the function returns 0, do this: Exactly what combination of inputs to dateDiff() is returning zero? If it is your second example in your original post, then it SHOULD return zero because the two dates were less than one minute apart. Your code below is asking whether or not the two times are in the same hour and minute which is a different question than asking how many full hours and minutes exists between the times. (It's also worth noting your code below will ONLY work for times on the same day and with a 24 hour clock) If your objective is to decide if the times are in the same minute then you should probably always be using datePart() starting with the largest unit (year) and working in and NOT using dateDiff() at all. Alternatively you could continue to use dateDiff() to the second level, divide by 60, and ceiling() the result up to the next full minute which is essentially what you are doing below. Perhaps you can explain exactly what you were trying to do. ~Brad cfoutput cfset holdTotalHours = ABS(DatePart(h, arguments.HighDate) - DatePart(h, arguments.LowDate)) cfset holdTotalMinutes = ABS(DatePart(n, arguments.HighDate) - DatePart(n, arguments.LowDate)) Results in (HH:MM) Format: #holdTotalHours#:#holdTotalMinutes# /cfoutput ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

The connector needs to be able to resolve the existence of the file. The connector lives on the web server. The CF service needs to be able to read and compile the file. The CF service lives on a separate box. All that said, I would recommend that you ditch distributed mode if that's an option, and use a reverse proxy instead.

Re: ColdFusion dateDiff() function?
Nope, it's working as designed. Here is an excerpt from the docs: The DateDiff function determines the number of complete datepart units between the two dates; for example, if the datepart parameter is m and the dates differ by 55 days, the function returns 1. So basically, using date diff is like using the floor operator, it is only counting the total number of COMPLETE days. Your example has a difference of only 2 minutes which is nowhere near a day. If you simply want to know if the files were created prior to midnight of the current day, then you should check for that specifically with something like so: cfset variables.yesterday = 04-04-2010 11:59 PM cfset variables.today = 04-05-2010 12:01 AM cfoutput#yesterday LT dateformat(today,mm/dd/)#/cfoutput - Original Message - From: Qing Xia txiasum...@gmail.com To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 9:05 PM Subject: ColdFusion dateDiff() function?

Basically, I wrote a CF Scheduled Task that is supposed to go to a directory and delete all PDF files that are created before today. Simple enough, right? It should be really, but the DateDiff() function is behaving strangely. Try running the code below: cfset variables.yesterday = 04-04-2010 11:59 PM cfset variables.today = 04-05-2010 12:01 AM cfoutputtoday - yesterday = #dateDiff(d,yesterday,today)#/cfoutput You see how it thinks the the date difference is ZERO??? Shouldn't it be ONE???!!! There are ways to get around this (elegantly or otherwise)... but now I am just irked and curious.

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
I hate to say it, but even without Flash Builder, Coldfusion Builder probably would have cost the same. Flash Builder was most likely thrown in to sweeten the deal and add value. Flash Builder is probably already has a foothold large enough to cover more of its development costs-- not to mention the professional version is $699. They can probably afford to toss a copy of the standard version in CFB for the people who want it. Creating a bundle for every person's needs is not always the best thing either. If you get your pricing matrix too confusing it just frustrates people.

SOT: Default Flash behavior when crossdomain.xml is absent
Quick question-- I swear I've Googled the crap out of this and for the life of me I can't get a definitive answer. We have two domains. www.oursite.com www.ourcdn.com We have a SWF player hosted at www.oursite.com which loads mp3s (among other things) from www.ourcdn.com. www.ourcdn.com does NOT have a crossdomain.xml policy file. Most of our users have no issues with the flash player loading the off-site content. Several people however report an error that I assume is Flash refusing to load the off-site content due to the lack of a cross domain policy. The obvious answer here is I need to create a crossdomain.xml file on www.ourcdn.com that specifies www.oursite.com as a valid location that can load its content via flash. However, in the name of curiosity, I would like to figure out which of my users are affected and why. Can anyone tell me what the default behavior of flash 7, 8, 9, 10, etc is if there is no cross domain policy _on_ the server hosting the content? Does it deny by default or allow? Based on what I am seeing, I assume some versions allow by default, while others deny but for the life of me I can't find conclusive documentation for all versions of Flash that compares their behavior. All I can find of the Internet is eleventy-billion how-to's on creating a policy new. (thanks but I already know how) Thanks. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: SOT: Default Flash behavior when crossdomain.xml is absent
My understanding is that the default behavior is the same for Flash 7 and higher. It should deny access from your swf to content fetched from another domain unless that domain has the appropriate cross domain policy file allowing content to be fetched from the domain containing your swf. Yeah, that seems to align with what I've been finding. Thing is, that's not what's been happening. So, I suspect that there's something else going on. Maybe some (most?) requests are actually being served from servers within your CDN initially, rather than from your original domain. For example, if I go to www.microsoft.com, I'm actually going to someserver.www.ms.akadns.net. Perhaps that's the default behavior for many of your users? I'm kind of grasping at straws here. Straws appreciated and accepted. I don't think that's the case though. I opened MS Fiddler and hit on of our pages myself. (All of the streaming content on our site uses the same dynamic page and the same SWF player. The SWF player is not located on the CDN). This is what Fiddler showed me: Request for www.mysite.com/thePage.cfm Request for www.mysite.com/player.swf Request for www.mycdn.com/crossdomain.xml (Returned 404) Request for www.mycdn.com/theFile.mp3 It defies logic. By all rights flash should have shut down the SWF and never allowed it to access the last file. Hmm, a bit more Googling, and apparently that isn't always necessarily the case. According to this knowledge base article, Flash differentiates between simply playing an MP3 and extracting data from it. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/963/50c96388.html This article appears to say that flash WILL allow an MP3 from another domain to be played, but will stop short of allowing you to extract data from it (like ID3 tags) without a crossdomain.xml file. Interesting... I'm not sure if that is affecting me or not. I'm using the JWPlayer and I'm pretty certain it doesn't do anything special to the MP3s. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: null500 on nested custom tag
You should try a variable called lolcat. :) Seriously though, it sounds like an endless loop to me. If you check your server's coldfusion-out log you will probably see an out of memory exception. Put in some external logging to a text file or something to follow what is happening to your variables. Or use a counter in session to keep yourself from recursing more than 10 times so you can output debugging info in your page. Without really digging in to your code I can't really say where the problem is. It sounds like your issue is pretty straight forward-- you have a series of categories which are arranged in a hierarchy via your pivot table. Given a leaf node of your tree, you wish to climb until you reach the root node. I guess you're trying to make sure that none of your categories are orphaned with no active parents? Honestly, it might be a little simpler to write this using iteration, but don't let that keep you from recursive tags if that's what you like. As to whether or not you can do it in a single SQL statement-- maybe. If you are on SQL Server 2005 or later CTE's (common table expressions) allow recursion but I don't know that it would be any simpler. If your hierarchy of categories always has a known depth, you can just keep joining to your pivot table that many times. Other than that, you are out of luck using an adjacency list model. Nested sets are much better for calculating ancestors and descendants.

Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something else? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: overwriting a component reference variable
I cannot give a definite answer, but I can hazard a guess! My understanding of the JVM is that memory is never reclaimed in-process. Instead it is re-claimed the next time GC is run. So in your example with 20 cfinvokes, I would expect a high likelihood that all 20 instances of that object still exist in memory when the request is completed but with no hard references. They will get picked up the next time garbage collection executes. ~Brad Original Message Subject: overwriting a component reference variable From: Michael Dinowitz mdino...@houseoffusion.com Date: Tue, March 09, 2010 3:08 pm To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Just a fast question about components and memory so that I can be extra exact for a chapter I'm writing on components. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: query passed by value from a udf?
So the question now is if GC can be called programatically after all references to a large 'object' is removed during a single request. Yes. cfset obj = CreateObject(java, java.lang.System) cfset result = obj.gc() Careful though-- Garbage Collection can be an expensive operation. Also, GC can be a little complicated. Just because you run the code above may not guaruntee everything you expect to be collected will be. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: query passed by value from a udf?
This is starting to sound like one of those Hibernate knows best sort of discussions. lol A sentiment I generally agree with, mind you. Second guessing Java's GC logic is probably for pretty darn special scenarios. ~Brad - Original Message - From: Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 11:52 PM Subject: Re: query passed by value from a udf? So the question now is if GC can be called programatically after all references to a large 'object' is removed during a single request. While Brad points out that this is possible, I don't know if objects are actually marked for deletion until the request has finished. In addition, it's the kind of thing that you really don't want to get into - if you want to manage memory directly, that's why we have C/C++. The thrust of modern languages like Java is that memory management should be something that the computer does, rather than the programmer.

Re: Pretty XML
ToString(XmlParse(xmlString)) This is redunant. You just turned a string into an object, and back into a string again. XmlFormat(ToString(XmlParse(xmlString))) 5 yard penalty for misuse of the xmlFormat function. That function is designed to make a string safe for inclusion in an XML document without being confused with the XML markup of the document it is being included in. Try this: pre #xmlString# /pre If you want more control, htmlEditFormat it, and manually replace line breaks with br, spaces with nbsp; and tabs with nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; etc... ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
