Promote ColdFusion - Nettuts.com
Hi Folks. I came across this article on Nettuts http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/language-wars-sign-up/. Perhaps this may be a fun and beneficial exercise for some of our senior CF evangelists out there... Ben? Ray? I'd hate to see this pass without CF being represented. Each team can have 2 members so if anyone is interested and would like a partner I'd be willing to contribute. If 2 more senior members of the community decide to take this and run that would be fine too. Just throwing it out there. My apologies if too off topic.

AES Encryption Limits
Hello All. I am working on a database driven session environment that is used on a shopping cart. The cart is not currently PCI complient so I am working on encrypting certain items. The session is stored in the DB as a WDDX packet in an ntext field. Rather than parsing the structure and encrypting just certain pieces of data, I was playing with the idea of encrypting the entire WDDX packet. This works fine in my tests, but I am worried about any possible limits I might reach. Theoretically, the WDDX string could be enormous as there is nothing limiting the size of carts in this system. Does anyone know if I'll potentially hit some kind of limit using this method of encryption? This will determin the path I take. If there is no limit, I'll just make my life easy and encrypt the entire thing. If there is a limit, I'll write some code to parse out the structure and only encrypt certain members. Thanks in advance. -Jake ~| 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:342140 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: AES Encryption Limits
In this system (and you know which one I'm talking about) the values aren't actually committed to the DB until there is something in the cart and that's where I would do the encrypt/decrypt. As close to the DB as possible to avoid deeper system changes. However, the only thing I really NEED to encrypt is the payment details like name, CC number and cc expiration date. Those aren't entered until later so I'd potentially be encrypting/decrypting data more than is needed. I'm using AES-128 bit because it is both the fastest and most secure according to the documentation I've come across so far. Now that I'm thinking about your response, maybe it would be better to write something that would parse out those few values that must be encrypted and decrypt in a similar fashion to avoid processor/memory spikes during the encryption process. I could still do that as close to the DB as possible and the code wouldn't be terribly difficult. I think I have my answer. Thanks! -Jake On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:40 AM, Mark A.

Re: ColdFusion Builder: Plug-In vs. Standalone
Thanks for the feedback. I decided to go with standalone and it seems very solid so far. BTW, I figured out my problem with the tag completion. There are 2 settings that need to be set to get this to work. If you go to Preferences-ColdFusion-Editor Profiles-Editor, under Code Assist, you have to check Automatically Insert a Closing Tag and under Typing something other than Never needs to be chosen under Auto-close tags. This is very strange that the settings are on 2 different pages, I've been fighting with this for at least a year now and posted several threads to no avail. I'm glad I found it.

Re: JVM args, GC issues, performance tuning - CF9, Win2k8
Ben,
The settings for -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m seem a bit large based
on the max heap size of 1024. Did you run some tuning tests to see that these
sizes were needed? I usually see settings on high load servers around 128/192
up-to 192/256. These are all based on the particular app and server in
question. Your results may vary depending on the server and application needs.
Also, there are other settings you should add. The GC setting is good. Parallel
GC is meant for multiple CPU servers. However, the default execution times of
the GC is every minute unless you set them. Use these settings
(-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=60 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=60
) to set the time interval in millie seconds. I've found tens minutes is a good
place to start then monitor your app and server and adjust accordingly.
Also look at setting the ratio of perm to new gen -XX:NewRatio=3 .
Hope this helps you in the right direction.

Kris,
As dave said, I would start with increasing minimum and maximum heap size to
something more likely for a 64bit server. 512megs is inadequate. Set it to
at least 1024 (both of them) and other's have mentioned additional switches.

Re: Issue with new CF Update
We're having a somewhat similar issue. We have multiple CF servers and use our own server-independent session management using cookies and session info saved in the database. We've found that if you go from one updated server to another updated server it loses the user session. If you go to or from a NON-updated server to an updated server it works fine. It also works if you stay on the same updated server. Is this related? I had to roll the updated servers back, but worry about updates in the future that include this hotfix. I don't know if it's related, but you should be able to control the scope of the cookies using the DOMAIN attribute of CFCOOKIE, if you're not already doing so.

Re: SMS messages
www.q-sms.org They have a very robust sms gateway. Thanks, I took a look at their pricing page and LOLed when I saw this... Q-sms offers the cheapest price in Nigeria and one of the most competitive globally... The Nigeria mention makes them immediately suspect in my mind, but I suppose there must be legitimate businesses there too, right? Hopefully they won't switch out my messages for offers to transfer millions into the recipients account... ha! Have you used them to send to mobile numbers on US carriers? A few places I've spoken to have said that we would need to apply for our own short code to send to US recipients, others have said we can send through theirs but only to certain carriers. It all seems to be more confusing than it should be. -Justin Well, believe it or not, i have used them to send messages to the U.S. Their delivery was instant. I thought the same way you do, but when i decided to use them, i got results and its cool to pay for results, these days. ~| 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:342160 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: SMS messages
I had to set up my first SMS application about 3 years ago, and I was busy looking for Australian SMS providers, when another colleague said to try an English company he'd been using. I too was skeptical about using an overseas company, but he assured me that it didnt matter. So we had a race.We sent SMS messages from my phone to his phone, using the normal 'two thumbs and press 'send' method, and using his web site to another phone. We pressed his enter key and my send button together, and time after time, the web site would win. He was sending a XML packet to the English SMS server, they were routing the message through any number of other providers around the world (depending on where the cheapest carriers were on this day) and eventually ending up beside us here on the next desk in Australia. It turns out that SMS providers treat SMS messages like a commodity. They buy in huge numbers, and make a margin by selling to you and me and our clients in smaller volumes. So the routing today will quite likely be different to how it was yesterday because of the pricing. Of course there are plenty of issues to check on when searching for a provider, but when it comes to SMS messaging, location doesnt matter for performance reasons. This is rather similar to knowing that it doesnt really matter much where you locate your web servers geographically, as long as they are provided with enough bandwidth and set up properly.
