Re: Odd MySQL error...
Are your database and CF server on different networks? We saw this problem before our launch when we were just hitting the database (on a host) while developing locally. When the code and the database are on the same network, that problem went away for us.

Re: Is it time for Adobe to Rebrand Cold Fusion?
Of course, one downside to that (from the company's standpoint) is once they announce the name, they're kind of locked into a timeline. So, they may release a buggier version of ColdFusion 2011 just to get it out before the end of 2011 rather than having to release CF2011 in 2012 or having to rename it.

RE: cfdot.net
I don't know if I totally agree with that. Does the C# code follow best practices for C#? When doing a comparison between two languages you should use best practices for both languages. After all for good code we should all use best practices. I was taught that when using Java (not entirely different) that I should never assume that a package is included and to manually include it. Also that the direct method you used earlier should also be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

Array of struct into ORACLE using stored procedures
In Cold Fusion I have a large array of struct I'm trying to pass into ORACLE 10g using stored procedures. I am hitting a performance wall inside ORACLE (probably self inflicted). I don't know of a way to transfer a complex array directly to ORACLE -- if there is, I'd love to hear it. So what I've done is translate the array into a CLOB of delimited values where each array element is separated by a semicolon and each property value by a comma like: Prop1,prop2,prop3;Prop1,prop2,prop3;Prop1,prop2,prop3;Prop1,prop2,prop3; I can then pass the CLOB into ORACLE where I wrote a little parsing procedure that pulls the data elements out into a Global Temporary table which I then can merge into other data tables. The issue seems to be on the ORACLE end. It is taking too long to parse when the array gets large (10k rows takes about 4 mins). What I need is either a different method to move the array into ORACLE or to improve my parsing routine (see attached). Ideas?

Re: cfdot.net
Wait - so now I have psychological issues? I didn't attack you, I attacked the site based on the fact that *you* said it shows how 1 line of CF code equates to 10 lines of ASP.NET and how it was a jab at .NET: Unfortunatly the company I work for decided to move away from CF :( and proceeded to get shot of all the cf devs we had. I was one of two survivors who they see as legacy application developers grr even thou I decided to become an MCPD, they still see us a just CF devs. Anyhoo I did build the following site: www.cfdot.net which shows code comparisons for most of the common langauge syntax tasks. If anything it will show how CF achieves in one line what .net does in 10 ;) (my little dig back heh) Now you say it's something else. You should stick to one argument and you might make sense. The fact is, your site is dishonest based on your own comments and I explained how I thought it so. Nobody yet has shown how my analysis was wrong, they just kept saying that I called you a dishonest person and set about defending you because you might not be very good at programming .NET when you wrote the site and then told me that I need to fix your site. I have no desire to be constructive to fix some random site on the internet. My purpose was to call BS when I saw it because it feels good to do that. This is the very definition of an ad hominem attack. @Paul you have hit the nail on the head that is exactly the purpose of the site. @Matthew - The site is NOT dishonest every example provides a solution that is viable. I think you have some misguided deeper issues and appear to see this as some sort of 'Coldfusion is better that .Net' battle, it;s not! You are entitled to your opinion but I cannot just stand by and have you say the site is dishonest when it is not.

You are correct. I made an assumption that was incorrect and now realize that it was the same issue in .Net.

That is not likely to change, but the ISP could always require me to move the entire website.

Re: Is it time for Adobe to Rebrand Cold Fusion?
With the limitations on budget in today's economic, few companies can afford money for both. I'd much rather the money be spent on development. Frankly, if I get another overpriced glossy marketing packet from Abode when they are cutting staff in product development, I'm gonna barf. As someone that is in software development and sales myself I can say that you won't HAVE any money for development UNLESS you have sales. So you absolutely need to be putting resources into both. Sure, as a developer in CF I'd prefer that the bulk of resources go to development but that's just not reasonable to expect that all of it would. If in a bad economy that means cutting back some on development, that's understandable. If Adobe feels rebranding will help increase exposure and/or interest in the product, then it certainly should be looked at. I'm dubious that it would make much difference and can't imagine after all these years having to refer to it as anything but ColdFusion but if it might help uptake among certain markets, I can live with that. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334816 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: ScriptProtect error replacing insecure tag in scope CGI ??
However, we get this ScriptProtect error if we pass in the URL: http://www.SERVER.com/search.cfm?querystring=javascript:alert%28412898284482%29 Clearly this has nothing to do with the CGI scope, so I'm a little confused at why an error is being thrown. It does, in fact, have something to do with the CGI scope. All the data sent by the browser as part of the request header, including the query string, are in the CGI scope. And allowing a JavaScript command to be passed in the query string is probably not such a good idea anyway.

Without getting into motives or honesty or any of that, I have to say I agree with Matthew. If you want to provide a side-by-side code comparison, the two snippets should be analogous in functionality. I've only looked at the CFEXECUTE example, but those two snippets clearly aren't entirely analogous in functionality - there are a lot of dead lines in the .NET example. There are two problems with that. One problem is that it looks like advocacy when maybe that's not your intent. I don't really care too much about that, but it doesn't help your argument if that's the argument you're trying to make. The other problem, and the one that is more serious in my opinion, is that it doesn't tell the CF developer what is really needed. Do I really need to import all these libraries? Why? What happens if I don't import them? (Fortunately, I know enough C# to know which ones I need for that example, but if I actually used that snippet as-is in VS.NET, I'd expect that it would tag those lines with warnings that they're not used by the code.

Re: Seriously PO'd - cfqueryparam and/or struct dereference flakes out
When CF throws an error on a stored proc, it will usually reference the last line of the stored proc, not necessarily which line has bad data. If I were you, I would dump the values that are being sent into the stored proc and review to see if any of it is null or blank (or string) going into any of the integer declared procparams.

Re: CF Shopping carts
I feel that this is one area that is completely overlooked in the CF world-- Especially since OO was introduced to CF in MX.

But it is no way ready for prime time and was build specific for existing internal systems so it is very limited in administration ability.

I think that would be great. My expdereince with Able Commerce was horrible. That made spaghetti code look like textbook OO code.

I haven't really dug into others, but we are looking. If this does go through, we should also keep in mind server restrictions as many people are on shared hosting...or at least have a safe cersion of it that would either get around these restrictions or avoid them completely.

Re: Is it time for Adobe to Rebrand Cold Fusion?
A Rose by any other name is still a Rose. And so is a turd a turd. Microsoft is one of the industry kings of rebranding. ASP -- .NET = still a turd IMHO Windows nn - Windows nn = still sucks. Although I hear Windows 7 sucks less :) Only the uninformed fall for the rebranding. The rest can smell the rose or turd as the case may be. My belief is Adobe really needs to get into the schools and teach the new programmers about CF. At the same time focus on managers that make the tech decisions and show them ColdFusion can fill their needs. Then show case very high volume/traffic ColdFusion powered sites and dispel the myths about ColdFusion with live case studies.

Re: Is it time for Adobe to Rebrand Cold Fusion?
Windows nn - Windows nn = still sucks. Although I hear Windows 7 sucks less :) Nah. That's crazy talk. My belief is Adobe really needs to get into the schools and teach the new programmers about CF. Agree 100%. I have a bit of a history with educational systems, and talking with some of my past colleagues the other day they indicated they've stopped teaching the majority of Adobe technologies (Flash, Dreamweaver, etc - they still teach Photoshop) because it was too dang expensive to buy even the educational licenses to do so. Many states have made huge cuts in education budgets trying to balance the state budget - so schools are cutting back on software spending to help compensate right now. They *WANT* to teach Adobe technologies, CF could be included with that, but it's just too expensive for them to do so. I don't think Adobe should give software away, even to schools (we all gotta pay the bills, right?) but easing up a little would yield excellent long-term results (and customers!) IMHO.

Re: CF Shopping carts
Eric, Take a look at this site: https://store.apolisactivism.com/ It's running a ecommerce engine I wrote - it's live on some other sites now and am just getting ready to roll it out publicly. Let me know if it might fit your needs. That list of restrictions your host puts on ColdFusion seems pretty harsh, is moving hosts a possibility?

Re: CF Shopping carts
@Kevin, I feel that this is one area that is completely overlooked in the CF world-- Especially since OO was introduced to CF in MX. So true. When I was looking for a ecommerce solution several years ago, I evaluated all the current offerings and joined the CFCommerce google group, etc. I wasn't finding anything remotely like what I needed, so wrote a solution. I'm now at the point of opening it up for others to use and am evaluating business model and licensing options.

It's a bit more code, but if you switch to having a cfargument tag for each parameter and enforce the type there, you can pass in your struct as an argument collection.

Re: Is it time for Adobe to Rebrand Cold Fusion?
I knew Adobe had free educational licenses now, my point was more that I think Adobe really needs to market to the college computer science programs and even send people in to teach them how to setup and configure ColdFusion for high performance. Nothing will turn them off of ColdFusion faster than having a poorly configured CF server that crashes routinely. I would love to get into the various schools around MN to help them get ColdFusion servers up and running. Besides the small paycheck involved, I'd really love spreading the ColdFusion goodness. I've already done this for one college in MN.
