Dale, I know this isn't a solution to your direct problem, but is the Documents and Setting\all users\app data (or wherever it is) an option?

[cfaussie] Re: WSE Security - anyone have any experience with it?
Glad I can be of assistance. The web service I am working on now at work processes millions of dollars worth of transactions a month and it is all based on Java WSSE (very similar to what CF uses). You shouldn't find any real problems with talking to it through CF (as far as security goes). The only thing to look out for is if they pass DataTables and things like that back through instead of standard SOAP data types. I guess the bottom line is your biggest worry would be dealing with a .net web service's data types, not the security. From memory someone else on the list had problems with .net DataTables. Shane On 4/5/07, Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Shane, this is indeed very helpful. The plan is at business plan stage now. I was asked does this WSE Security thing mean it's going to be doable if we go ahead or not? The management people are discussing all the business and legal aspects of the two sites working together, and if they go ahead, then the two sites are going to have to pass a lot of info back and forth including money and personal information. Their site is much bigger than ours and they use WSE Security. So we needed to know up front if it's going to be doable or not. The deal they're talking about is far bigger in impact than the technical issue of the web site. If it comes down to it, the It guys are goign to be told make it happen, dont give me reasons why it cant be done. If you have problems, get around them! So at this point we needed to know if 'they, a much bigger site than ours will need to be asked to change the way they handle security. Not a good look for this deal. The bottom line, for now, is that it's tricky and messy but doable, I think. When/if the deal proceeds it'll be some late nights and studying I think.

What you are dealing with is a Microsoft implementation of the SOAP Security standard. Seeing as the CF SOAP stuff is just a wrapper around Axis, it should be able to handle it fine. Try adding the SOAP headers through CF (7 can handle this just not sure of the syntax off the top of my head). MX 6.1 can't handle this very easily though. Try comparing the XML generated by doing this to a cal to the web service from SOAP UI. If you can make SOAP UI talk to the web service, you will have a copy of the XML to work with and compare against. Here is an example of a SOAP request that uses WSSE soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=... xmlns:wsse=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/secext; soap:Header wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand=true UsernameToken UsernameMyName/Username Password Type=PasswordTextMyPass/Password /UsernameToken /wsse:Security /soap:Header soap:Body Id=MsgBody !- SOAP Body data -- /soap:Body /soap:Envelope You can get more information from the XSD's relating to the WSSE and SOAP namespaces etc. Hope this helps, Shane --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: Why select * is bad (was RE: [cfaussie] Re: @#$!! Queryparam)
I have seen 2 notable reasons to stay away from select * if possible: 1. I have come across several issues with the schema changing in a database and the changes where not reflected in a query that had select * (legacy code). This can make the display layer break in strange ways when the template is expecting a row to be there and it isn't. From experience, this only happens with cfqueryparam with it's caching. 2. Supporting legacy code. If you come across a select *, you don't know what columns you are retrieving unless you look into the structure of the table (or tables) in question. This can be annoying if you are working on a large system with a lot of tables, or using a subset of a large number of tables in an Oracle schema (as is sometimes the case due to expensive licenses). The main reason I have found it to not be best practise is the extra steps you need to take to maintain legacy code that uses select *. I don't know if anyone else would agree, but I would prefer to already know what is going to be in a result set just by looking at the query that was used instead of digging around the db or dumping the result. My 2c, Shane On 3/3/07, Charlie Arehart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, are you saying that removing the select * does or does not solve the problem? I just want to know where this thread is crossing from solving your problem to discussing the broader issue of select *. I'm actually surprised to hear that you would ask for a spelling out of the reasons for why using select * is bad. It's such a universally derided practice. And there's been all that discussion afterward today later on subjects like hosting, findnocase. I have to think folks didn't read this, as I'd expect to see a number of people come out and explain why it's bad. That's the beauty of a list like this: no one person needs to shoulder the burden of answering a question. But I'll kick it off with saying that people usually use it when it's not needed, as a shortcut. The problem is simply that if the number of columns retrieved exceeds the number used, then you've asked for a lot of needless work to be done: the database had to gather the data, then store it in its buffers, then it had to be sent across the network, then it had to be stored in CF's memory as a query resultset. The larger the number of excess column (and the size of data they hold), the more the pain of the problem, and when you multiply that by the number of rows retrieved, and then by the number of requests running that query each day...well, as the joke goes, a million here, a million there, and soon you're talking about real money. And the problem is about more than just you who issued the query. You're request asking the database to do work takes away resources that it could have spent doing more useful work. And when data fills the DB buffers, that flushes data from someone else's query that might have been reused for a subsequent request for the same database pages (very low level, but important, stuff). Now that was just if the number of columns retrieved would be smaller if you did just name them instead. If they're the same, then that's certainly different, though there can still be issues. For instance, depending on the database (and perhaps configuration), the use of select * may cause the DBMS to process its query plan differently. That really depends, though, and so I don't want to state categorically that it's always bad for that reason. I'll leave that to others to hash out (see below). Then there's this issue of its impact when used with CFQUERYPARAM, and some have even argued that it causes problems when used in CFQUERY with views (see the comments in the last thread below), and so on. Now, really, there are all manner of other places where people have decried it (or debated it, as you want to). I can't tell if you're pressing me, Duncan, just to get a rise out of me, or try to make me prove my statement, or just out of sincere curiosity. I just want to clarify that I only proposed you avoid it to solve your very problem with CFQUERYPARAM. Please do let us know if it helped. But if you're still interested in the select * debate, there's plenty out there. I don't need to defend it myself. :-) What's interesting is that if you try to do a google search, you're flummoxed because google uses * as a single word placeholder (no, not a multi-word, just a single word, which is curious), so you can't (it seems) readily say find all results that say select * us bad. Here are a few areas where this has been discussed and/or debated: http://www.parseerror.com/sql/select*isevil.html http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=417457 http://www.adopenstatic.com/faq/selectstarisbad.asp http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/eac/knowledgebaseAnswer/0,295199,si d63_gci978334,00.html

The thing I was most disappointed about with OSX when looking into Macs was the lack of support for 64bit applications. They have been running 64bit chips since the G5 was released but Tiger is the first version of OSX (which on a side note seems to need an upgrade every few months for things they forgot to implement) to support 64bit out of the console environment. This was a big reason to stick with Windows and Linux (rantanything based on Debian rocks even though Debian is a good as dead now... *cough* Ubuntu *cough*/rant).

Hi Adam, A very handy tool you could try is SoupUI (www.soapui.org). We use it at work to run test suites against our Java web services. You point it at the WSDL, it can generate a default request where you fill in the blanks and hit send. What you get back is the actual SOAP envelope with all the XML you will ever need :-) Well worth checking out if you are working with web services and just a simple request/response to deal with. There is even an Eclipse plug in for it! When you have the SOAP response, you can decide if you need to send XML or if the native type will be consumable from .net. It will even validate it for you!

[cfaussie] Re: Application scope problem
Correct me if I am wrong, but with MX and the Application scope, it is just writes that need to be locked (for simple reads to an array anyway). It isn't as if you are trying to get an instance of a singleton and changing values inside it while another thread is in the middle of using it. So if this assumption is correct, you will only need to add on cflock tag around the initial creation, along with a check to see if it is already there, as per Barry's post. Your reads would stay the same.

Hi Scott, They would have done it like this tohave time zone information included in the object. java.util.Date does not contain any details about the timezone for which it the date represents. The calendar on the other hand does. If you want a Date object, call getTime(). Just keep in mind that this will attempt to do timezone conversions for you. If you get some weirdness in the times, the conversions are most likely what is messing with them as they are a little flaky at times (seems to be a buggy class). It could be worse...

[cfaussie] Re: anyone using cfeclipse 1.3 beta?
Eclipse is getting a little faster with the improved Swing speeds in newer (Java 5+) JVM's. I use it at work for Java as it is free and it's something my company (as well as most) loves to do (keep costs low). Since I use Linux for my main box now (for server reasons) there is nothing out there for Java that would compare to Eclipse, Netbeans or IntelliJ that isn't written in Java so I have to deal with a slow IDE. Imust say, one of the things that made me stop using Eclipse the first time was the speed but 3.2 is solid (mostly) and faster than previous versions. Barry, one thing I would suggest is running 3.2 on the latest Java 5 JVM or if you are adventurous, Java 6 Beta 2. They offer a pretty good performance boost for Swing apps. Also remember to up the memory settings to 256 or 512 (-Xmx512m -Xms64m) in your eclipse.ini file. There are still issues with memory usage at time but hey, you get that with Java. I haven't used CFEclipse 1.3 as of yet so I can't tell you anything about that, just Eclipse itself. My 2c, Shane P.S. The Web Standards Toolkit (WST plugin) has just had an update so that could be useful to some of you out there.

Hi Mark, I vaguely remember something like that ghappening to me a while ago (with SQL Server 2000) where cfqueryparam was causing the queries to be cached. I'm guessing if you had of attempted an update, caught the exception, created the table then updated again, it would fail as well. Maybe you could do: UPDATE transfer_sequenceSET (sequence_value = sequence_value)WHERE 1 = 0/* will never update but will throw an exception if the table/view is not there */ or something similar and keep your cfqueryparam in there.

(This was an early design decision, and I actually don't think anyone actually uses it... but since it's there, I would like to keep it). Basically this is done through a table called 'transfer_sequence' that has 2 columns - the name of the table, and it's last recorded primary key value. The sequence goes like this (this is all in transfer.com.sql.IDGenerator) 1- attempt to select the value of the ID from transfer_sequence 2-- catch and db error, and go off and create the transfer_sequence table 3-- now go and attempt to select the value of the ID again ... This works with no issue on mySQL, MSSQL, and postgres... but some reason the Select call after I make the CREATE TABLE call (3) returns this error: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-01003: no statement parsed SELECT sequence_value FROM transfer_sequence WHERE sequence_name = (param 1) (param 1) = [type='IN', class=' java.lang.String', value='tbl_basic', sqltype='cf_sql_varchar'] The wierd thing is..

[cfaussie] Re: Multiple Level Inheritance
Jaarrrggg, Ye all be getting into the spirit of talk like a pirate day ;-) You can also access the overridden method in a parent class/object by super.countIt() inside count it (or anywhere for that matter). Super is just like this but the super class (as the name would suggest). Like everything, inheritence has a time and a place over composition. The tighter coupling of components can make the solution more complicated than it needs to be and reduce usabilty. The more specific child classes can give you a higher level of cohesion as it makes the method calls more uniform as the specialised class (component) does only a specialised task (but does it well). I guess this is why some OO people say never use inheritence as composition decreases coupling and increases cohesion. The issue with super only being able to access the parent is really a non-issue as if the child class needs to accessa parent methodand also needs to access its grandparents method, then the parent would most likely need (or should be) accessing the its parent anyway otherwise you will be ending up with duplicated redundant code(I hope that makes sense).

[cfaussie] Re: OT: - .NET sucking the life out of me
I use to work for a company that wanted to go down the same road. They were after an upgrade to a Microsoft Gold Partnership and that was one path they investigated. They had an entire hosting side of the business based on MS products so it made $en$e to the boss man. When they first spoke about it, I was disappointed to find DB.net only to find it still in beta testing :-( It would have made life easier for me as I was told to prepare a migration strategy for the legacy systems. Like any platform/language, it has strengths and weaknesses when compared to CF but a change of direction like that is one I'm glad I wasn't involved in. Good luck to you if it goes ahead. Maybe you can come out of it with .net under your belt as well as MCSD qualifications (which was the carrot they offered me).

[cfaussie] Re: Web service / Java experts help required.
Hi Mathew,One thing you can do is to generate a SOAP message yourself and post it with CF. I am currently dealing with web services through Java 1.4 ( without Axis :-( ) and in the end, I have a Java class that wraps an XML node in a SOAP envelope and sends it off. The response that comes back is an XML string that you could parse with CF. You could even use CF to generate the XML very easily. A (very) rough base for the XML would be:?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? doSearchRequest keystring here.../key localEN_au/local styleMy style :-)/style countriesCovered soapenc:arrayType=xsd:string[] countryFR/country countryGB/country /countriesCovered attributes soapenc:arrayType=impl:Array_Of_Attributes[] attribute nameatt1name/name valuerandom value/value /attribute attribute nameatt2name/name valuenot so random value/value /attribute attribute nameatt3name/name value nil=true/ /attribute /attributes/doSearchRequest You need to check the names for the country and attribute arrays (it looks like the WSDL is incomplete but it is late and I could be wrong and I know it is a snippet). If you can get your hands on the xsd's for it it will really help as you can validate your XML against them. I know this isn't the way you would like to do it but it can overcome some of the problems with web services. At least this way you get to the lowest common denominator (XML!)Check out http://java.boot.by/wsd-guide/ch03s02.html for a quick and reference to the array stuff in the WSDL (XML side not CF).If you get stuck I wont be able to check this address from work so it could be a few days before I respond.

[cfaussie] Re: consuming a non cf webservice.
Hi Theo, Might not be much of a help, but you could try writing a Java class that sends the request and returns the XML response for parsing. Just a thought as we have to consume (and expose) web services with J2EE. Another thing that may be happening is the service is returning a Java 5.0 (1.5.0)data type and CF runs on 1.4. The enumeration was added in 1.5 I think (the enum keyword was anyway). I'm sure you could find plemty of examples through Google.

To be a windows admin you would defiantly need to know how to set up IIS. Running .net is not much more than that (compared to some other environments). Even if Linux BSD or Solaris (10)are cheaper than Windows, if you want the support you have to pay a license fee as well. How do you think Red Hat and SuSE make most of their money? The point I'm trying to make is, if the company has already made a sizable infrastructure investment based on Windows (including staff) then switching to Linux or even PHP can be quiet expensive. Retraining and time lost reconfiguring and testing server environments can quiet quickly cost a company a lot of money. I have worked for a company that was a Microsoft Certified Partner and the piles of software that were shipped in at low prices was amazing. I am a part of partnership that is a Microsoft Partner and for a small fee (much less than a CF Standard license) we can become a Microsoft Empower partner and receive licenses for server software to set up everything we need to have a complete MS environment plus dev tools.
