Re: Cool things about cf
Jacob, There are a bunch of php caching classes available. Basically, the classes usually serialize any object to a text representation and store that in a file. The serialization and deserialization to from file is very quick and once you have the class, performing the process is usually a one liner. Here is an example. http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/code-gallery-wade4.php?article=code-gallery-wade4kind=slid=1899open=anc=0view=1 Its not as easy as using the application scope but it does work.

Re: Cool things about cf
Everyone has already responded to you with all the things I would have added. But it's the simple things that make CF cool in my opinion. Working with PHP, or .Net or Java, simple things like File Uploads and CFQuery are what make CF cool. One thing I would add is CFMail. I've been through hell dabbling with PHP, hitting brick walls trying to send a simple email (the details of which are for a different post on a different mailing list). After that, and seeing how complicated it can be in ASP and .Net. CFMail is simple yet powerful, with just one attribute you can easily send an HTML or plain text email. No extra configuration or decoding necessary. Coldfusion handles all of that for you. Ali Hey, I'm writing a short article about the cool things that cf comes with that most others dont. I've got so far: qoq groupd output (Hey, I think its cool) charting cfdocument I'm thinking of adding a section on custom tags but not cfc's because you can write classes easily in most other languages. Flash forms seem mostly annoying and I dont like cfform all that much. So, stuff that is very useful but only comes with cf. Any others you can think of? I'm sure there is much that I have'nt thought of.

Re: Cool things about cf
Dan, To do it line by line via Java, I've used java.io.FileReader and java.io.BufferedReader. Theres plenty of info online and probably some cfc's available that already do it. However, in most cases, you can just turn the file into an array by using listtoarray on the content from cffile then loop thru that array. Make sure you use arrays as opposed to list structures, as its a fair bit faster. DRE On 11/13/06, Dan Plesse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes I look it over and bookmarked it.

Re: Cool things about cf
Yup, I agree with the easy Java. There /is/ a lot of cool java stuff out there. Writing cf-java is super easy, compared to java java, and CF has the nifty parts without the PITA parts, for the most part. d-: The built in error trapping/handling is pretty slick, too. It's super flexible, which can be dangerous for the likes of me. :) Overall it's got a good power/ease of use ratio, I'd posit.

Hey, I'm writing a short article about the cool things that cf
comes
with that most others dont. I've got so far:
qoq
groupd output (Hey, I think its cool)
charting
cfdocument
I'm thinking of adding a section on custom tags but not cfc's
because
you can write classes easily in most other languages. Flash forms
seem
mostly annoying and I dont like cfform all that much.
So, stuff that is very useful but only comes with cf. Any others

Re: Cool things about cf
I looked at how java works with web services i.e axis and the fact that you don't have to do extra work in CF to ship/send/ or receive any kind of object is truly amazing. In java land its yet another issue. For java web service on CF I have to WDDX each object before its sent and before its received and decompile back again. It's a real pain and an extra step. You can't put a price tag on all the magic its priceless and its not just a bunch cool stuff to list off either taken in total its a step ahead. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259666 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: Cool things about cf
Here's a simple, useful example.
cfscript
function bhimginfo(imgfile){
jFileIn = createObject(java,java.io.File).init(imgfile);
ImageInfo = StructNew();
ImageObject =
createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO).read(jFileIn);
imageFile = CreateObject(java, java.io.File);
imageFile.init(imgfile);
sizeb = imageFile.length();
sizekb = numberformat(sizeb / 1024, 9.99);
sizemb = numberformat(sizekb / 1024, .99);
bhImageInfo = StructNew();
bhImageInfo.ImgWidth = ImageObject.getWidth();
bhImageInfo.ImgHeight = ImageObject.getHeight();
bhImageInfo.SizeB = sizeb;
bhImageInfo.SizeKB = sizekb;
bhImageInfo.SizeMB = sizemb;
}
/cfscript
It will return image width, height, filesize (in bytes, kilobytes, and
megabytes)

I've instantiated java before using cf but its not been all that simple.
What would be a good example of a simple but very useful java instantiation
suitable for a tutorial?

qoq

I'm thinking of adding a section on custom tags but not cfc's because
you can write classes easily in most other languages. Flash forms seem

So, stuff that is very useful but only comes with cf. Any others you

Re: Cool things about cf
Dont forget the syntax itself - it almost reads like english. As a freelance, I work a lot on other people's code and when I encounter a tag i havent used before or a custom tag, usually the name itself tells me what it's doing. When i first came in contact with ASP all those years ago, i spend AGES trying to figure out what the sections of the code were doing - just finding the piece of code took a long time.

I would disagree that Flash forms are just annoying.

The triple support of Arrays, Lists, and Structures. You can store your data however you want. Obviously, you don't want to store complex data in lists, but when you're working in setups where you recieve from a list, the intense support for list functions allows easy manipulation and extraction. Structs having the the triple access to variables Struct[key] Struct.key StructFind(Struct,key) (Although this method feels like code-bloat that should have been deprecated versions ago. My favorite is struct[key] because you can use it easy with looping and get dynamic values without using evaluate. I have to agree on another point dual cfscript/traditional cf is nice.
