Re: cfm vs html pages
Also, if it really is just flat HTML you are working with, you could use SSI includes inside shtml pages (Apache or IIS will serve them without the need of a separate application server).

Re: A search with special characters in Solr
You might have them tag like this ~word~, then parse for that when building your search. Not sure what you mean by parsing for it? When I use a word like this in my data (with tildes around it), and then search for it (including the tildes), I get no results back from Solr. It does match on just word with no tildes, but that's not what I'm looking for, they don't want to return every instance of just the word, but some way to mark it as a unique version of that word to find. I'm thinking maybe I can take the special characters and convert them to a text string of some kind?

Re: CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)
Yes, cfsavecontent appears to use a java buffer internally, and runs just about as fast. Pick whichever method gives you code you like better with your content, its source, and your coding style. Dave Its actually faster according to the tests I've seen. Both ArrayAppend and cfsaveContent came out the fastest in John Whish's testing on CF8 (see http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/string-concatenation-performance-test-128). In most cases both of these were faster than StringBuilder or StringBuffer. concatenate with coldfusion : 6797ms listappend with coldfusion : 21344ms arrayappend with coldfusion : 47ms coldfusion with save content: 47ms concatenate with java stringbuffer : 62ms concatenate with java StringBuilder : 63ms Some time or other I'll have to try John's test case under load with jMeter and see what the performance is actually like. regards, larry ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338986 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Hi Those threads are not your problem... They represent server threads that are waiting for someone to open a socket to them. (JNDI is built into java; CF might be using it but either way it isn't directly hurting anything.) If your dead/hung servers are using lots of cpu then look for threads that are not blocked... They will be much more interesting. If it isn't a cpu issue then look for threads not blocked on ServerSocket.accept and you may find a pattern there... Maybe a database or some other kind of resource, or a java-level synchronization issue where one thread is waiting for something another thread has (but will never give up).

RE: CF Blog software
Steve, One should at least explain why hosts disable those tags. They are all dangerous tags that provide IO access and the host is probably just be cautious. If these were just enabled by default then the server could be hacked in about 5 seconds. However some of those tags should be allowed with a security sandbox, so ask them if you can have one. There is no reason not to allow the following with a sandbox. CFCOLLECTION CFCONTENT CFDUMP CFLOG CFOBJECTCACHE SetProfileString However No host should ever allow the following, if they do, I suggest you move as they are very insecure indeed. CreateObject(COM) Cfexecute Cfregistry. The following are also very dangerous and a sandbox doesn't really help, but most hosts have to allow them because none of the frameworks will work without them. CreateObject(JAVA) CFOBJECT This list you have supplied is however rather short, there should actually be many more tags disabled such as cffile and cfdirectory for a start. If this is the only list they gave you, then I would say they have no idea what they are doing with ColdFusion we allow almost all tags with a security sandbox and have been doing CF hosting for 10 years.

Re: inserting farsi/arabic entry to database with CF
thanks a lot Russ . from the links you gave I realized that maybe
the cfprocessingdirective tag is the solution . but I don't know
what's going
wrong that when I wrap my cfquery tag inside the
cfprocessingdirective it gives me error and says that the
/cfprocessingdirective tag doesn't
have a start tag!
here's the code I don't know what's wrong :
cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=utf-8
cfquery name=qInsert datasource=CFflexdb
insert into main(name,writer) values('ã','È')
/cfquery
/cfprocessingdirective
You can't wrap code within CFPROCESSINGDIRECTIVE. You simply place it
at the top of the page, without a closing tag. But in any case, that
will only control the page that's being generated (not the queries
within the page).
You'll need to ensure that data sent to the page is also UTF-8, using
setEncoding:

Re: CF Blog software
Not necessarily. I've got several very complex apps that aren't used by many users, and they're charity apps for non-profits, so why not host for $20 / quarter instead of investing $120 / month or something in a full private server?

What I mean by parsing is that you use the tildes to determine what to search for by extracting what is between them and using that to build your search. That's not going to give me what I need, because I need to find *only* the results that use the tildes, not the records that might just have the word by itself.

Re: CF Blog software
There are indeed inherent risks and limitations with shared hosting. But there are solutions, including ones less expensive than dedicated hosting. Sandboxing is one option, although not an absolutely perfect one. The preferred option (these days) is the one Dave mentioned, visualization, where you get a dedicated isolated virtual instance without dedicated hardware. And we've made sure that ColdFusion licensing makes this a viable option.

Re: A search with special characters in Solr

Well, that would work I guess if they *only* wanted to search for those words, but they want to be able to search on any of the content text as well. So I needed someway to make them unique in the search body. What I decided to do was to just use a Regex to convert the asterisks to X's so that in the search index it becomes XXXHighlight or whatever codes they want to use. Then I do a similar replacement when running the search. That seems to be working. --- Mary Jo ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339025 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Sanitize input data for SQL
cfset city = model(Cities).findOne(where=id=#id# AND some_other_param=#param#) If you know it should only accept a numeric value, you can just throw in a Val() function and that will ensure nothing but numbers get passed ( e.g. id=#Val(id)# ).

Bit of back story, our site has been having long 'pauses' and sometimes total downtime now for months and months, sometimes it will be fine for weeks and sometimes it'll go down every couple of hours. We've looked at every possible aspect of the code, made numerous improvements, in the process speeding up our site no end (when its up!) but still it goes down. Much investigation over much time has lead to the conclusion its something thread based, most recently we find that as its going down we have a number of these in the thread dump: jndi-7 prio=5 tid=1477 BLOCKED at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:388) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:453) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:421) at jrun.servlet.network.NetworkService.accept(NetworkService.java:356) at jrun.naming.NamingNetworkService.accept(NamingNetworkService.java:115) at jrun.naming.NamingNetworkService.createRunnable(NamingNetworkService.java:14 1) at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$ThreadThrottle.createRunnable(ThreadPool.java:349 ) at jrunx.scheduler.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:62) Always a 'jndi-X' thread and always blocked, the more there are the slower/nearer to death the box seems to be. So the question I have yet to get a decent answer to is, what are these threads? What's creating them? Why are they waiting (as it looks) for some kind of incoming connection? and most importantly what the heck can we do about them?! Any and all suggestions greatly welcomed!

If you know it should only accept a numeric value, you can just throw in a Val() function and that will ensure nothing but numbers get passed ( e.g. id=#Val(id)# ). For numeric inputs that has been my standard for years: cfparam name=url.id default=0 / cfset url.id = abs(val(trim(url.id))) / This guarantees a positive integer or zero, safe to pass to most queries (through CFQUERYPARAM, of course, or directly if you're feeling adventurous). The query results can then be checked to see if anything came back. Alternately, you can kick the user off the page if you don't want the query to run if anything other than a positive integer or zero was passed to begin with: cfif url.id neq abs(val(trim(url.id))) cflocation url=/ addtoken=no / /cfif -Justin ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339030 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF Blog software
without sandboxing (cf enterprise required) if all tags are enabled, any user can read/write files anywhere on the server. Even if lockdown procedures arr used, coldfusion will at bare allow all users access to each others sites even if not the whole server. Any other customers on the server can therefore easily hack your site, put phishing code or viruses on your site, steal your database (customer information etc), harvest credit card details from your payment pages, and anything else you can imagine. Any customer could also at any time simply delete your site, or take the entire server down. The problem is that most people looking for hosting are clueless about the server.security side of things, they just want all features for the lowest price and do not consider the consequences. But then when the server goes down or your site does get hacked, who are you going to blame? The host for having all these things enabled in the first place (which you wanted) or will you blame yourself for using a cheap host that has everything enabled. Let me also point out that this is down to the way JAVA works, as all requests run in the context of the service not the web server authentication. Most hosts rely on their hositng control to manage the security side of things, which they do for things like PHP/ASP etc, on IIS for example a new windows user is created for each website and that website runs under that user, who only has permission to access that website root and certain system folders. So when a .php file runs it cannot read/write outside the webroot. Any host that is not doing this is also allowing system wide read/write/execute for all scripting languages. When a .cfm page it runs as the user that the ColdFusion service is running as, which has full system access. Many cheap hosts simply install ColdFusion Professional on the server and presume it works just like PHP or ASP, and will be as clueless to the security issues as their customer. Installing and offering ColdFusion hosting is not really the same as supporting it. To support it, you have to actually know what you are doing and be aware of the security risks. People will often say just run your own instance you don't get this option on shared hosting as it is then not shared hosting. Running your own instance consumes quite a bit of system resources and is akin to running your own VPS as its your own copy of CF with its own CFadmin that you manage yourself, and you wont get either for $5 per month i'm afraid. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If your site is actually your primary source of income, then presumably it is quite important to you, therefore you should be prepared to spend more than a few bucks a month on it, otherwise you are just shooting yourself in the foot. You can get a VPS from £20 per month these days, so really anyone can afford this, how much does your site generate for you each month? a lot more than £20 I bet. You don't even need technical skills these days as you can use a hosting control panel to do everything. If you had to buy a new RELIABLE car to get you to/from work, would you buy a cheap £50 car that you have to share with 500 people ? -- Russ Michaels www.cfmldeveloper.com Supporting the CF community since 1999 FREE ColdFusion/Railo hosting for developers. www.bluethunderinternet.com Professional ColdFusion hosting my blog: www.michaels.me.u ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339033 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF Blog software
CreateObject(com) is very dangerous and should never be enabled on a shared server. DANGER will Robinson. All the sandbox does is either enable or disable this function, as your calling a COM object which has nothing to do with JAVA it is run totally outside of the sandbox permissions. Again it would execute with the same permissions as the java/coldfusion service. CreateObject(java) is not much better as it allows you to execute any java function. CF9 did finally address this by allow you to restrict certain methods so you can for example block access to the Service Factory (cfadmin settings). However as pretty much every framework/app need this function and also needs the classloader, to disable this function would mean crippling ColdFusion for most people. So it is a security risk most hosts have to take. Really this should also never be enabled on a shared server either as it cannot truly be locked down, CreateObject(corba) is would assume is the same as the above, but I have no idea what the hell corba is and it is not installed on any of our servers anyway. So at the end of the day, no ColdFusion host can be 100% secure unless they cripple the service and disable functionality the most customers are going to need. So if you want security you will definitely need your own server. -- Russ Michaels www.cfmldeveloper.com - Supporting the CF community since 1999 FREE ColdFusion/Railo hosting for developers. blog: www.michaels.me.uk ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339037 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF Blog software
you can use both Java and JSP pages on a coldfusion enabled server. Use of Java just requires CreateObject(java) Use of JSP pages just requires the .jsp extension to be enabled on the server. Although you can use servlets and JSP tag libraries within CFM pages without anything else being enabled I believe. Check the cfdocs.

Re: locating linefeeds/carriage returns
I am trying to load an array with wrapped lines from the text field. We are feeding this into a function that takes the text and dynamically puts this in a graphic via java. Each element in the array will contain a line that is either wrapped or ended by a cr/lf when the user hits enter at the end of the line I populate a temp var with the 1st 34 characters of string.

Re: locating linefeeds/carriage returns
hmand I can't recall the default if not specified. Anywaysjust something to look at. I know using a value of physical would add line breaks or carriage returns when wrapping occurredseem to recall the other 2 value options did something different. So if you are seeing text on another line and it appears to be due to CR or LFperhaps it's something else causing the new lines...

Re: cfheader/cfheader not working as expected
I truly understand what you're saying but how these things work it not consistent which is frustrating. What's really crazy is we have dozens of Excel download links in our various apps like this example and some work perfectly with value=inline but most have the undesirable behavior (code name and read-only) which actually still works. Why inline provides the dialog box option of remembering the download decision but using attachment does not give that option (at least in IE) is very inconsistent but not surprising. Since this is not earth shattering I will chalk this up to browser inconsistency and move on. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339055 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

slow cfquery cfqueryparam?
Hi, I am running the following cfquery which inserts a large amount of rows into a table (approx 2200) cfquery name=insertData datasource=dbname INSERT INTO parentquestions VALUES cfloop index=i from=1 to=#arraylen(questionIDArray)# cfif i neq 1,/cfif (cfqueryparam value=#questionIDArray[i]# cfsqltype=cf_sql_bigint maxlength=20,cfqueryparam value=#parentQuestionIDArray[i]# cfsqltype=cf_sql_bigint maxlength=20,cfqueryparam value=#parentLevelArray[i]# cfsqltype=cf_sql_bigint maxlength=20) /cfloop /cfquery The query was taking on average 9 seconds to complete. However, sometimes it was erratically taking 40 seconds. I output the query as text, copied it into MySQL and it only took 0.14 seconds. So I then tried to build the sql text without applying the cfqueryparam as below, and it took only 1 second! cfset sqlstring = / cfset sqlstring = INSERT INTO parentquestions VALUES / cfloop index=i from=1 to=#arraylen(questionIDArray)# cfif i neq 1cfset sqlstring = #sqlstring#,/cfif cfset sqlstring = '#sqlstring#(#questionIDArray[i]#,#parentQuestionIDArray[i]#,#parentLevelArray[i]#)' /cfloop cfquery name=insertData datasource=dbname #sqlstring# /cfquery In understand that adding the cfqueryparam is adding approx 6600 validations, however would it really be the cause of slowing this query down so much? If so would there be any alternatives that I am missing? thanks for any help ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339059 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#maxContentID#_#language#.cfm')# *
output = #Evaluate( #language#TEXT )#

following error:
*Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result
as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a simple
value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time

The most likely cause of the error is that you tried to use a complex value

tag. *
Any suggestions?

First, I'd suggest that you not use nested hashes. Instead of this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#maxContentID#_#language#.cfm')#
use this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/' maxContentID '_' language '.cfm')#
However, I don't think that's the cause of your problem. Instead, I
suspect that one of your variables contains something other than what
you think it does. Use CFDUMP to see what's in those variables.

I think I'm doing something dumb, but it's not jumping out at me... any help is greatly appreciated! ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339063 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Ajax + 2 functions = error
Confusing. Your access is public but you can call it via remote Ajax? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339064 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFFILE ERROR
Ok thanks Dave,

I have a file that is creating a CF template using the following code:

nameconflict=overwrite
/cfloop
It used to work fine but all of a sudden the red line is causing the
following error:
*Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression
result
as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a simple
value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time
values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values.
The most likely cause of the error is that you tried to use a complex
value
as a simple one. For example, you tried to use a query variable in a cfif
tag. *
Any suggestions?
First, I'd suggest that you not use nested hashes. Instead of this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#maxContentID#_#language#.cfm')#
use this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/' maxContentID '_' language '.cfm')#
However, I don't think that's the cause of your problem. Instead, I
suspect that one of your variables contains something other than what
you think it does. Use CFDUMP to see what's in those variables.

Re: CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)
It may well depend on the size and number of the strings, since the main inefficiencies can be piling up of immutable strings and subsequent GC.

Re: CF Blog software
Ii don't think many hosts prohibit CreateObject('component'), they're
after the java/com/corba flavors. CreateObject('java') is mighty
useful though; not sure if Mango uses it or not.

CF 9 and Sybase Advantage JDBC driver
Hi, I have a client who uses the Sybase Advantage JDBC driver on a CF 7 production machine. I'm trying to get it to work on a CF 9 system. I copied the configuration over to the CF 9 entry (after installing the drivers, and then installing the advantage db server). I'm getting the standard 'no suitable drivers available' error message for each JDBC entry I define that tries to access the Advantage driver. Has anyone used the Sybase Advantage product using JDBC and gotten it to work?

RE: Moving to DC
FYI if you are in Oz We are only allowed to ride Kangaroos on the right side of the curb, as we drive on the left side of the road, the roos do not get spooked at traffic coming behind them.

Re: Moving to DC
On 11/8/10 2:59 PM, Maureen wrote: That is legal in California. I hate it, but apparently there have been few accidents because of it, and no fatalities. No offense (seriously), but here's my take on why people hate it. It's a generalization so please try not to take it too personally. And I can relate because years ago before I rode I felt the same way. You hate it because it requires you to actually pay attention. You feel like you shouldn't have to watch out for anybody but yourself. You hate it because of the VERY FEW dweebs out there (they exist in every group) that abuse the privilege and blow through traffic at too high a speed, or you've had a mirror broken by one of these guys. OR, as somebody pointed out yesterday, you hate the idea that somebody should get there before you do. Misery spread equally, that's the Liberal Way (tm). Instead of Power To Those Who Can, we need to put a stop those people because it isn't FAIR that they should be able to do something we can't. There was an article written in San Francisco back in 2000 talking about lane splitting. They quoted one guy saying how he hates how people can get there sooner, and they shouldn't be allowed to. They, should just get in line and wait with everybody else. It's such a crock because bikes are much smaller than cars. They fit in smaller spaces. It just makes sense to let them use that space. Consider this... at the grocery store or Walmart. You have these big, wide aisles. WHAT IF you were only allowed to walk single file down these aisles? Even if somebody stopped to get stuff off the shelf, or was standing there staring, looking for the item that didn't exist, you COULD NOT go around them. How dumb is that? Very similar concept.
