I am working on an application that does it's own timeout, at 45 minutes. It
gets the last logged in time and compares it to the database current time. The
database time is correct. However, the now() time is incorrect by an hour. I
assume this is due to daylight savings time.
So where
Check the date and time on the ColdFusion server. Also, make sure that your DB
server and ColdFusion server are in the same time zone.

I've been playing around lately with hashing via both SQL Server 2008 and

My understanding is, SQL Server 2012 is the only

I finally pulled the plug on the 64 but and installed the 32 bit CF version.
I'm also using CF 32bit, but it is because of some 32bit CFXs, but I did have

there is nothing special you need to do, as long as the server can make

To confirm all permissions, simply login to the server as the AD user

Daniel,
What version of ColdFusion are you running? Maybe you can upgrade the
JVM to a newer version that has updated DST settings? I think the
start/end dates for DST in the US were changed in 2007, while Java 1.4
hasn't been current since around 2004.

On 3/12/2013 6:31 AM,
Here is your answer: This JVM version is SO old that it has the OLD DST change
over date. The DST change over dates changed in 2008.

Justin,
As a one-time Java BlueDragon user, I'd say the .NET version is the only
reason I'd use BlueDragon over ACF at this point. They have fallen way
behind in comparable feature support (last time I checked they were
about equivalent to ACF 7/8).

I can't vouch for New Atlanta itself, but BD.NET has not seen any activity

Java's more prevalent than .NET platform languages, but that's not a
compelling reason to use either (/or).
And let's not forget that CFML is not Java,
well, , being as it compiles to java byte code, and you can distribute any
CFML app as pure JAVA, no CFML in sight, which would make it a java app.
I have never tried this TBH, but I would presume you just deploy your app
as a war file, so it presumably would not even need a CFML engine, it will
Well that's fine (and, yes, that's how you do the deployment). But a
language is what you type in to the IDE or text editor, not what it
compiles down to, or that one deploys. Java byte code is no more Java than

CFML is not Java. Java is Java.
A better defence of
Russ,
From memory as I haven't done it for awhile, is that the runtime is bundled
with your application meaning you need to supply a serial number with the
war as well. All that assumption was prior to ColdFusion 10, so it may
handle it differently.

No Adam, the compiled version is Java.
Same as both Java and .Net compile down to a bytecode that is interpreted
at the machine language level, which makes machine code not .Net or Java
either :P
