I made a change to a data base table on SQL server 2008 and added a field. Now
I'm getting the error:
null null
The error occurred on line -1.
RootCause: (structure - not printed)
StackTrace: java.lang.NullPointerException
Message:
In my experience, this is usually caused by a date field being NULL
unexpectedly, and CF trying to treat it as a date.
FWIW

Hi All,
I recently had a discussion with some other programmers on my team dealing
with where to put application code and when. This is a small little guide I
wrote that I try to use and I wanted some second opinions on my coding
logic.

Oh yeah. Of course ideally we would be on an MVC framework but we can't do
that due to internal reasons. This doc is for those not on an MVC. Don't
want any non MVC haters to yell at me. Haha.

I'm assuming that's a joke, but in case it's not... please explain. I don't
have a clue what it means and a search is coming up short on answers.
Strangely, the error has just gone away and I did nothing?

I think it's a date conversion issue. I know, debugging can be
frustrating when it isn't working right.

That table has USER ID (varchar) , PASSWORD (varchar) and a bunch of bit fields
(default value (0)). No dates.
Regardless, the error just went away.

A lot of times (depending on the app) I stick functions (UDFs) in an

Custom Tags
while you may not use MVC on every app, sticking to certain guidelines
like what code to put where, also known as includes vs custom tags vs
cfc, along with the use of external JS and CSS will make any app
development smoother..

Did you change the UN/PW in your datasource? If you change it there,
then all connections to your DB using that datasource will go through

I was thinking that if I assigned a bogus un/pw to the DSN,

I haven't tried this, but I wonder if you could create a user that has
0 privileges. Maybe just give it read rights on tempdb, but nothing
else. And then put that into your data source. So it's a valid user,
but it can't access the sensitive databases.
On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Doug
It really should not be possible to query the database without a
username/password.
The only way this is possible is if
a) the login is in the DSN
b) guest access has been allowed on the db without a login
c) windows authentication is used and you are connecting as the coldfusion
service user
the power of CF is in its simplicity.
A newbie can come along and just learn a handful of tags and functions to
develop a web site.
The next step up is CFC's, frameworks and OOP

well if u have access to the cfadmin then you are not using shared hosting,
so you must have your own dedicated server or VPS.
In which case you need to remotely login to the server and check how the
