Optimal version of java for CF8?

2009-01-16 Thread Judah McAuley
I cant' seem to find the current recommendation on java version for CF8. I just installed 8.0.1 and it is using 1.6.0_04 The machine I'm running it on is 32-bit W2K3 and has 1.6.0_11-b03 installed (from Sun). Any good reason to point CF8 at the machine-installed version instead of the one

I'm getting ready to upgrade our production server from MX7 to 8 and I wanted to back up the settings before doing so. However under Packaging and Deployment in the Administrator there is no option for CAR file, only WAR/EAR. I have no idea why that would be missing nor what to do since it is

An ajax call is just an http call. It should work with any url you can put in a browser. The important part is making sure that the request returns the data you want and in the format you want. That can be the tricky bit. The only gotcha I see there is that you are using a relative path call for

I will also add that there is a not insignificant movement toward using ORMs for the database access layer. In that model, most all of the sql is abstracted out for you and when you do write sql, it's using a language specific to the ORM. We've got some .net guys at my office who are using

The way I do this is to have each form field have an underscore in it. So play_1, play_2, etc Then I'd loop over the FORM collection and do a listfirst with _ as a delimiter to figure out if I've got a play, a po, a role, etc or some random field (like submit) that I don't care about. Then append
