RE: Application.cfc question
I would tend to agree that you cannot do it this way because the application.cfc fires on first request. If you can use IIS (or Apache) to do your redirect before the application.cfc fires you should be able to get the ones in the subfolders to fire first, then do an include at the top of each to include the original application.cfc file to add the missing data... but I'd probably not call the one in the root application.cfc then... probably something like global_var_include.cfm or something.

Re: Application.cfc question
Short answer is, its difficult if you want to inherit the methods of the root folder Application.cfc. Coldfusion allows for one Application.cfc to extend another, but only if the inherited Application.cfc isnt in the root directory of the site or has a mapping in the CF Admin ( i.e. -you cant use extends=Application.cfc) or it throws an error, thinking its calling itself. That said, you can either create a mapping, make your inherited Application.cfc part of a subdirectory so CF doesnt get confused or use inheritance from another component, along with the SUPER scope to do what you want to do.

Re: Application.cfc question
could you not have 1 application.cfc which simply calls different methods/includes according to the path in the URL. I have never tried it, and it would be bad practice and only a temp solution (others will swear for my suggesting this), but perhaps a quick fix would be to have the root application.cfc include a child application.cfc. or in your OnRequestStart, you test the URL and include a settings file from required sub-dir in the URL path, if the path has changed, reload the application.

A quick and clean way is to create a cfc named 'utils', 'udfs' or 'helpers'

other udfs you may have. Then, in application.cfc:
cffunction name=onApplicationStart
cfset application.udfs = CreateObject('component', 'path.to.my.udfs');

You could also do something like 'variables.udfs = application.udfs;' in

Options: 1) Store the files outside of the webroot and only allow programmatic access via cfcontent which allows you do check session security (best for security) 2) Associate all files with ColdFusion and write a custom servlet filter to intercept these. (NOT recommend) 3) Enforce security at the web server with .htaccess or equivalent.

Re: application.cfc for security
first of all, users should not be able to upload files below the web root. that is a dangerous thing to offer to them. What are you defining as right credentials? If a user can create directories and upload files using some ftp client then there are a number of things you can do to make sure each user gets his own area for file management and restrict access to other files. Can you elaborate your process?

Re: application.cfc for security
I've never allowed ftp access to my apps, but I do allow file uploads of images and such through file managers built into the app session scope includes a #session.homedir# value unique to each user.. when they upload a file (i use cffm) it lands in their home directory, and can then be referenced: img src=#member.homedir#\#request.imagename# or img src=#application.dsp.getProfileImage(memberid)# This setup silos uploads into discrete directories for individuals, but all of the uploaded images are publicly accessible in this implementation.

Re: application.cfc subdirectories and links
IMO, your best option is going to be setting your header, footer, etc. links to absolute paths. Meaning if your application root is www.mysite.com, then all of your primary links need to point to /aboutUs.cfm. The ensures that no matter how deep you are in the site, that link will always point to www.mysite.com/aboutUs.cfm. Most every other option is going to involve parsing the URL and figuring out where you are relative to your root and that's going to be more of a pain than resetting all those links. If you want, you can set an application variable as a placeholder for your application roor, i.e. cfset application.siteRoot = /. Then all of your links will look like [a href=#application.siteRoot#/aboutUs.cfm]About Us[/a} If your site root changes, just update the application variable. HTH, Adrian I have used the Application.cfc onRequestStart and onRequestEnd for the layout of my site, i.e. common header, mainnavigation and footer on all pages. Now the problem comes in where I have some files in a subdirectory: (The application.cfc is only in the root directory) the main navigation (siteroot\mainnav.cfm) is included in the application.cfc onRequestStart, but if this is called from the siteroot\subdir\somefile.cfm the links points to (e.g.) siteroot\subdir\aboutUs.cfm instead of siteroot\aboutUs.cfm Is there a way I can reference the links relative to the included template (siteroot\mainnav.cfm) instead of relative to the page I am on? I don't want to use absolute links, because that is a lot of links I will have to go and update...

Re: Application.cfc question
I ran into the same problem. I assign datasource in the application.cfm and then lose the connection string in the cfc. I believe the problem is that a cfc is intended to run in a different machine as thought it were a web service. As a result Cold Fusion does not carry the application state across the boundary even if it is on the same machine. It may be in a different process or a different thread. I do not know the cf internals well enough to know exactly why. That being said, I defined a datasource variable in the cfc and all went well. The other way to do it is to pass the application.datasource variable across as a function variable. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:315810 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Traffic is minimal. We are just testing the site now. So it will sit for many days before getting another user. I would guess the default timeout on the application since I am not defining one in the application.cfc. 2 days in the administrator. Shouldn't the application start back up after timing out? I will add that I noticed another application variable timing out (that I took out of the application.cfc). I use to have an application.adminEmail defined just below the application.cart. And when I had a onError function in the application.cfc when the onError function fired it would say that the application.adminEmail is not defined.

Re: Application.cfc variables
the 'this' scope corresponds to the CFAPPLICATION tag, not the application scope. If you want to set stuff into the application scope you have to use it literally. A concrete example: setting this.name is equivalent to passing the NAME attribute to CFAPPLICATION, which in turn is available as the application.applicationname variable. cheers, barneyb On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 3:58 PM, Alex Pogodin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone!

Re: Application.cfc question: Where would be the best place to put this code?
OnRequestStart would seem to be a good place for it. You might also override the Session timeout (if you're using sessions) so that these spam requests don't create a large number of dead sessions. You can set the timeout to 5 seconds or something before you do the redirect.

You could just set this.sessionTimeOut, but on further thought if you just redirect them to the home page then they'll just start a new session there.

Re: application.cfc question
Plenty of ways to do this, but I'd probably create a utilities.cfc and then
drop it into the application scope (in OnApplicationStart()). That way,
anytime you want to use it on your site, you just call it that way. The
added benefit is if you find you have more functions liek this that you may
need, just drop them into utilities.cfc.

Im my application.cfm I defined a function that I used through out the web

}
/cfscript
Now in the application.cfc I cannot place the function in onRequestStart I
get an error.
So now, to have this function available to the web site, I can just make a
new function in application.cfc like this:
cffunction name=replaceQuotes
cfargument name=arg required=true
cfreturn #Replace(arguments.arg, '', '##34;', 'ALL')# /
/cffunction
Right???
I just want to make sure I am doing this right and im not going to kill

RE: application.cfc and var
Also, it always helps to remember that Application.cfc is in NO WAY special or different than any other CFC you will ever write. The only difference is that the CF application server instantiates it for each page request and looks for certain methods to call for certain events... But the CFC itself is not special.

One tip - maybe do a structkeyexists on your exception values like type and tagcontext within rootcause. I see you using it for rootcause itself, but not the others. (Although message should always exist afaik.)

RE: Application.cfc vs cfm
FWIW --- The following text is quoted straight from the CFMX Development Guide that ships with CFMX7: !--- How ColdFusion MX finds and process application definition pages ColdFusion MX uses the following rules to locate and process the Application.cfc, Application.cfm, and OnRequestEnd.cfm pages that define application-specific elements. The way ColdFusion MX locates these files helps determine how you structure an application. Each time ColdFusion MX processes a page request it does the following: 1. When ColdFusion starts processing the request, it does the following: - It searches the page's directory for a file named Application.cfc. If one exists, it creates a new instance of the CFC, processes the initial events, and stops searching. (ColdFusion MX creates a new instance of the CFC and processes its initialization code for each request.) - If the requested page's directory does not have an Application.cfc file, it checks the directory for an Application.cfm file. If one exists, ColdFusion MX logically includes the Application.cfm page at the beginning of the requested page and stops searching further. - If the requested page's directory does not have an Application.cfc or Application.cfm file, ColdFusion MX searches up the directory tree and checks each directory first for an Application.cfc file and then, if one is not found, for an Application.cfm page, until it reaches the root directory (such as C:\). When it finds an Application.cfc or Application.cfm file, it processes the page and stops searching. 2. ColdFusion MX processes the requested page's contents. 3. When the request ends, ColdFusion MX does the following: - If you have an Application.cfc, ColdFusion MX processes the CFC's onRequestEnd method and releases the CFC instance. - If you do not have an Application.cfc, but do have an Application.cfm page, ColdFusion MX looks for an OnRequestEnd.cfm in the same directory as the Application.cfm page ColdFusion uses for the current page. ColdFusion does not search beyond that directory, so it does not run an OnRequestEnd.cfm page that resides in another directory. Also, the OnRequestEnd.cfm page does not run if there is an error or an exception on the application page, or if the application page executes the cfabort or cfexit tag. --- HTH...

RE: Application.cfc vs cfm
While on this subject. Considering CFC's are slower to instantiate compared to regular .cfm files, how does this affect application.cfm, has anyone tested? Is it slower than using application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm I haven't bothered doing any testing. However, I haven't seen any evidence that CFCs are inherently slower than CFM files. I don't see any reason why they would be, either, once compiled. I can see why they might take longer to compile, since every method is compiled into a separate class, but this shouldn't be an issue in a busy production environment. It is slower to invoke a CFC from within a CFM file than not to. It appears, in my limited testing, to be slower to use any formal code reuse mechanism (CFC invocation, CFML custom tags) than to run code inline or to use a CFINCLUDE. Finally, even if there were a cost to doing this, you should only have to pay it once, when Application.cfc is compiled. So, in summary, I wouldn't avoid Application.cfc because of performance concerns.

RE: Application.cfc vs cfm
The only problem with using Railo is it doesn't amount to any savings for those of us who host multiple websites on our own server. The price is practically the same as Adobe's CF server. If the price were significantly less, then it would be more attractive and worth the effort to do the work necessary to implement a 3rd party CF server.

RE: Application.cfc vs cfm
Well I have noticed that the time to instantiate a CFC, using cfinvoke or createobject is slower than using a customtag, a clinclude or a UDF. And the only way to avoid this is to cache the cfc in a persistent scope, such as application. When I first tried out the Model-Glue framework I found the speed to be dire, the pages took seconds to load, compared to milliseconds for the same site not done using CFC's Russ -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2006 17:09 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Application.cfc vs cfm While on this subject.

Re: Application.cfc vs cfm
Well it depends... If you only see the the price then yes, Railo is as cheap or as expensive as CFMX. But, you can use the professional version with unlimited webs wich costs 900¤ and is therefore cheaper than CFMX. AND the enterprise version of Railo is at the price of one fourth of the price of CFMX enterprise. And if you compare the features, then Railo does much more than CFMX. Webs are logically separated, and you have a web administrator for each web and a server administrator for the administering of the security settings and of the global settings. You additionally have - Railo archives - Railo resources - Performance improvements etc...

You could just use jsstringformat() to escape strings in javascript

Subject: application.cfc
I am starting to use application.cfc and when I placed this function that I
use to escape quotes I get an error.
I have it in the onRequestStart function. Should I have it elsewhere?

function escapeQuotes(str) {
return replace(str, ', \', ALL);
}
/cfscript
