Re: Coldbox plugins vs interceptors for user management
Thanks Glyn. I think interceptors make more sense. I do want this user management feature to be reusable across different Coldbox applications. I feel that there aren't any CF frameworks or apps out there(that I know of anyway) with a solid (role and feature based per website) user management built in so figured I will try to put one together. Cheers, Vineet Interceptors make requests in specific execution points in which it can process, pre-process, post-process and redirect requests, perfect for security! Think of interceptors as listeners to any request in your application. http://ortus.svnrepository.com/coldbox/trac. cgi/wiki/cbInterceptorsGuide A plug-in could make use of an interceptor or it could be a whole security plug-in that does many things. I think it really depends on what your tiring to achieve, does it need to be reusable etc. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CF 8 creating J2EE Archives
I've been trying unsuccessfully to create war file archives of our coldfusion 8 server. I end up with an empty directory. All we would like to do is create a war file that can be deployed to multiple J2EE application servers preserving the administrator settings - there is no application to associate with the war because the content files live elsewhere. Any thoughts? What version of CF are you using? If its enterprise and you're using the war or ear file deployment, then its already done for you. Then all you have to do is to add your cf, html and other files to the war file. If your version is CF Standard you may be out of luck. larry ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Strange License Error w/ Developer Edition
Hey guys, I just got this wierd licensing error from Adobe's developer edition of CF8. Not a big deal since I can just restart the service, but I've been having to use an external IP address to do my testing because of an odd bug in the Apache webserver. And today I apparently exceeded the number of external IP addresses available on the developer edition, even though I only used one IP address. ;) Here's the error: A License exception has occurred. You tried to access the Developer Edition from a disallowed IP (192.168.1.100). The Developer Edition can only be accessed from 127.0.0.1 and two additional IP addresses. The additional IP addresses are: 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.101 What I'm highlighting here is that the 2 additional IP addresses given at the bottom of that error message are the same IP address. Same browser even. Thought it was kind of odd, figured I'd post it. :) -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Whats wrong with this SQL?
Any reason why below does now work? no errors it just does not do what it states. it should look at all valueId's in the database and if its not in the list delete it, simple, right, so why does it not work?

Database-less queries
There are times when I have a simple problem that calls for a simple solution. I have data that is perhaps a half dozen columns and three dozen rows; I was thinking how it would be cool to load that data somehow as a query object in a memory-resident (most likely application scope) variable, with the data stored as wddx in a text file that would get loaded when the application loads. New data could be added by loading the object into a cfgrid. Before I venture forth on this bit of experimental (for me) coding, I was wondering if anyone else has done this, and what were the results? This is really more of a proof of concept, and would be used with a relatively low traffic web site. Thanks, Pete ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Database-less queries
A super simple method would be to store the plain text as ColdFusion's JSON
format. You could change it up, add (or remove) rows, and more. Then
whenever you need to, just have CF convert it a native query object:
Peep this sample code:
cfset REQUEST.q = QueryNew('firstname, lastname, email')
cfset QueryAddRow(REQUEST.q,3)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'firstname', 'neil', 1)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'lastname', 'finn', 1)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'email', 'nf...@crowdedhouse.com', 1)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'firstname', 'thom', 2)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'lastname', 'yorke', 2)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'email', 't...@radiohead.com', 2)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'firstname', 'ben', 3)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'lastname', 'folds', 3)
cfset QuerySetCell(REQUEST.q, 'email', 'b...@benfoldsfive.com', 3)
cfset REQUEST.toJSON = SerializeJSON(REQUEST.q)
cfset REQUEST.fromJSON = DeserializeJSON(REQUEST.toJSON, false)
cfdump var=#REQUEST#
cfabort
The key is the false flag in the Deserialize. It prevents ColdFusion from
converting the incoming string into strict data types (like arrays and
structs). Remove it, or change it to true, and you'll see what I mean. So
convert your query into JSON once then save that off and format it nice and
pretty so that it's human readable, and save it as a text file or something.

Re: Database-less queries
Hey Pete, Although CacheBox is using structures for performance on fetch operations, it's using a query to store the metadata for the content in cache to improve performance of other operations like reporting statistics and bulk-expiring or bulk-reaping the cache. (Either of which are comparatively quite slow when using a structure.) It's working out pretty well I think. http://cachebox.riaforge.org It sounds like your particular project will be a bit simpler than that, and I see no particular reason why it shouldn't work. There are a few fidly details regarding working with manually built queries, but for what it's worth, they crop up for me more often during a query-of-query, which you may or may not be doing. If you run into any issues with it, feel free to ping me off-list and I'll answer any questions I can. :) -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
