Registering C++ CFX Tag in CF 9 / J2EE / Tomcat

2010-12-30 Thread Nathan Wells
Here is a strange problem. We have installed ColdFusion 9.0.1 in the J2EE configuration under Tomcat 6.0.26 on Windows 2008. Now, we want to register some C++ CFX tags. In the Adobe documentation for J2EE configurations, in the Windows-specific configuration, it indicates to add the

Hey, I'm looking for a CF extension (or other), which will allow me to programmatically capture screen shots of a website and save it as a jpg. You know, something as simple as feeding it a url, and having it save a jpeg on the server? Thanks - Geoff B There is a free program

Can't you just log the messages and check CF administrator to see if they went out? Yes, we could check the mailsent log, but it's not always viable to give our QA testers access to the log files, and it's not real warm and fuzzy either.

SMTP Proxy for use in Testing CFMAIL

2008-05-02 Thread Nathan Wells
We have a ColdFusion-based application that makes use of CFMAIL. Nothing too fancy, mostly just HTML emails with no attachments. We are looking for an SMTP server (or an SMTP proxy, if you will) that we could point our development and pre-production environments to. This SMTP server would

We would like to avoid making changes to the database if possible, because that alters the test platform. The less similar pre-production and production are, the less applicable QA testing on pre-production is. In this particular case, removing the data from the database is simply not an

Unfortunately, the code analyzer in ColdFusion 8 seems to identify the same issues the code analyzer in ColdFusion 6.1 did. It doesn't give any report (even at the INFO level) for any of the issues identified in this thread. Nate -Original Message- From: Rich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Testing is very important, and I do not want to do anything to discount it, but it has been my experience that it has limitations and it is not going to catch every issue. I have found that it is not wise for a developer to rely on testing methodologies, whatever they may be, to help them;

Is there any way to safely delete files that were attached using a cfmailparam tag to an email that was generated with the cfmail tag? If you delete the attached file too soon, then the file doesn't get attached to the email, at best, and at worst, the email fails altogether. cfmail

Re: Deleting Attachments Immediately After CFMAIL

2007-10-25 Thread Nathan Wells
Nathan, Adobe did this to speed up mass e-mailings that all use a common set of attachments--which is common when doing bulk mailings. Obviously in this case there's considerably less disk space used and does speed things up. However, when you're trying to send dynamically generated content it's

I do not think it has anything to do with the database or ODBC, because you can replicate the problem by building a query in ColdFusion. Check out this code: cfscript q = QueryNew(c1); iRow = QueryAddRow(q); QuerySetCell(q,c1,Val(5),iRow); /cfscript cfloop query=q
