now( ) is off by an hour
I am working on an application that does it's own timeout, at 45 minutes. It gets the last logged in time and compares it to the database current time. The database time is correct. However, the now() time is incorrect by an hour. I assume this is due to daylight savings time. So where does now() get it's time? I'm on a VPN and that has the correct time when I check it's clock. Would it then be the server that hosts the VPN? Or someplace else? thank you. daniel ~| 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:354932 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

It's a localhost CFServer (developer mode). That is on a VPN that I am using. The VPN has the correct time. However the now() is incorrect. It was correct until daylight savings time. At this point, I assume that it's getting the time from the machine that is hosting the VPN, which means that the VPN can have a different time. However since I don't know where now() gets it's time, I can't get any traction on this from our support staff. Check the date and time on the ColdFusion server.

Re: Adding Salt and Password Hash to existing acocunts
I've been playing around lately with hashing via both SQL Server 2008 and
CF. The following should give you the same results in both:
cfset hashpwd = hash(pwd uuid,SHA-1 )
SET @pwdHash = CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),HashBytes('SHA1', @pwd + @UUID),2)
My understanding is, SQL Server 2012 is the only version that currently
supports SHA512.
Thanks,
Eric Cobb
http://www.cfgears.com
In the example it was a hardcoded string for the salt. 'mySalt'. you'd
just replace that with whatever you intend to use.
I haven't used SHA512 this way. I only did it the way I did so there was
an equivalent method in CF to generate the same hash.
You'd have to play around with generating SHA512 hashes in TSQL and make
sure you are also able to generate that same hash in CF (assuming you will
be doing your hashing in CF at all before sending to the database).
You can do as many iterations of the salt as you want I suppose. If I was
going to hash multiple times, I'd salt them all.

Validation Query Question
I have a question regarding Validation Query: The CF 9 online help says this about the Validation Query: Called when a connection from the pool is reused. This can slow query response time because an additional query is generated. You should specify this just before restarting the database to verify all connections, but remove the validation query after restarting the database to avoid any performance loss. If you are pointing to an Oracle RAC Cluster containing 2 nodes and want to ensure that the RAC node the connection is currently bound to is viable doesn't it make sense to leave the validation query in place? (select 1 from dual;) regardless of the small performance hit I would rather prefer that my connection is viable. What is everyone's opinion on this? Thank you in advance.

there is nothing special you need to do, as long as the server can make external connections to the internet that is all that is required.

(ot) .NET vs. CF
I know I have seen a lot of threads on this in the past, but didn't pay much attention to them until now. I have been using CF since v4.0 and now we have clients telling us that we can not use CF anymore and that we need to switch to .NET. Now I know our client's upper management couldn't tell the difference between a PC and Mac let alone tell the difference from .NET and CF. They have given us no other reason than other big companies are doing it. For those of u on this list that have experience with both, can I please get your feedback on the Pros and Cons of going to the .NET framework from ColdFusion?

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
For those of u on this list that have experience with both, can I please get your feedback on the Pros and Cons of going to the .NET framework from ColdFusion? Hi Dave, that will depend on what you're doing with it. I don't have anything against .NET and have done some coding with it. The biggest headache about .NET is that it's a fully object-oriented language and everything is based around that. It's a lot harder to throw something together quickly with .NET than it is with ColdFusion. If you're building large well-designed applications that will be OO from the beginning regardless of the language, then it's mostly a matter of syntax. .NET has a wealth of libraries behind it, but navigating that world is on-par with Java in complexity (strong typing, lots of long paths to method calls, etc.). CF is more akin to PHP in that regard. Not to get too far off-topic, but I'd be happy to see a project like OpenBD or Railo that created a CFML engine on top of .NET rather than Java so that we could just switch the engine out and say okay, we're doing .NET now, wink wink. If you're doing simple web applications, .NET may just get in the way and add time and complexity that isn't needed. If you're doing PDF generation, I haven't seen anything that beats the simplicity of CFDOCUMENT (though it has its limitations). So, as with anything in IT... it depends. But as has already been mentioned, switching platforms just because someone read an article in a magazine about something another company did is pretty short-sighted. -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:354949 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
A couple of things come to mind. First is the primary reason I use CF: Speed of development. CF can be seen as a framework for Java much like jQuery is a framework for JavaScript. It takes care of the bulk of the heavy lifting and grunt work so you can focus on writing productive code. ,NET is a lower level language when compared to CF meaning that you have to take care of a lot of low level chores in order to do something, If you wanted to open a bottle of wine with another language you would first have to build the bottle opener, or even smelt the steel, in order to open the bottle. With CF you call CFBottleOpener / and you are done. Justin James http://www.techrepublic.com/search?a=justin+james at techrepublic.com once remarked that only 25% of the time he spent writing Java was writing productive code, the other 75% was taking care of low level pluming so he can write said productive code. There is a phrase down south that goes I am fixing to get ready to... That is what it is like with lower level languages like Java and .NET you (often) spend a bulk of your time preparing to actually do something. Lastly, you have the entire Java Class Library at your disposal. Say you need to do something that CF was not designed to do or does not do particularly well you can drop down into Java or use a third party class library to perform said task. In short it reduces complexity, and the amount of code that one needs to write for the same end result. Less code = faster time to market, less chance for bugs and lowers the cost of development. Sorry if I am rambling... It is late in the day. HTH. G!

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
Justin, As a one-time Java BlueDragon user, I'd say the .NET version is the only reason I'd use BlueDragon over ACF at this point. They have fallen way behind in comparable feature support (last time I checked they were about equivalent to ACF 7/8). -Carl V.

Hi Dave, that will depend on what you're doing with it. I don't have anything against .NET and have done some coding with it. The biggest headache about .NET is that it's a fully object-oriented language and everything is based around that. It's a lot harder to throw something together quickly with .NET than it is with ColdFusion. If you're building large well-designed applications that will be OO from the beginning regardless of the language, then it's mostly a matter of syntax. .NET has a wealth of libraries behind it, but navigating that world is on-par with Java in complexity (strong typing, lots of long paths to method calls, etc.). CF is more akin to PHP in that regard. Not to get too far off-topic, but I'd be happy to see a project like OpenBD or Railo that created a CFML engine on top of .NET rather than Java so that we could just switch the engine out and say okay, we're doing .NET now, wink wink. If you're doing simple web applications, .NET may just get in the way and add time and complexity that isn't needed. If you're doing PDF generation, I haven't seen anything that beats the simplicity of CFDOCUMENT (though it has its limitations). So, as with anything in IT... it depends. But as has already been mentioned, switching platforms just because someone read an article in a magazine about something another company did is pretty short-sighted. -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:354956 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF
I can't vouch for New Atlanta itself, but BD.NET has not seen any activity for a number of years, and never got beyond CFMX 7 compat, as far as I can recollect. OpenBD is - as far as I can tell - a stagnant project (except for Alan doing what best suits Alan: fair enough... that was always the story with OpenBD anyhow), and BD.NET has been stagnant for *much* longer that that. BD.NET might exist, but it's not something anyone should recommend to anyone to use, in our community. And I think OpenBD has pretty much gone that way as well.

well, , being as it compiles to java byte code, and you can distribute any CFML app as pure JAVA, no CFML in sight, which would make it a java app. I have never tried this TBH, but I would presume you just deploy your app as a war file, so it presumably would not even need a CFML engine, it will just run directly on a java servlet engine.

Java byte code is no more Java than CFML is, for that matter. CFML is not Java. Java is Java. That's true from a developer's perspective. But from a deployment perspective, it's very nice to have the ability to hand off an app to someone who's in charge of a J2EE stack and not have to tell them anything or do anything special (although they will typically ask you why on earth the EAR file is so huge). And frankly that's where the value of Java really is. It's not the language, which is fairly obtuse and less-than-pleasant. No one's excited about writing Java code. That's why there are all these other languages that run on the JVM: Groovy, Clojure, Scala, Jython, JRuby, etc. It seems like Java programmers spend more time looking for ways not to write Java, than they do actually writing Java. A better defence of CFML's Javaness would be to point out that one can instantiate Java classes and call methods upon them natively in CFML, but this still doesn't make CFML Java. Plus - on reflection - one can also do the same with .NET classes/objects I think and no-one is suggesting CFML is C#...? You can't call .NET assemblies natively from CFML. You need an interop product for that (provided by JIntegra, kind of clunky). The level of integration is far greater with CFML and Java. A CFML app IS a Java app, as far as Java is concerned. Your CFML web app has J2EE sessions (if you checked that box in the CF Admin), and you can write an application that's half-CFML, half servlet/JSP/POJO classes and they will share the same memory space - same application and session scopes. Your .cfm files are themselves servlets. CFML is a cool language, but it's dead. The former does not preclude the latter. The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. - John Maynard Keynes In the short run, I'm still making money with CF. I don't do as much CF work as I used to, and I do more Java and .NET work than I used to, but CF isn't dead yet.
