Restarting the CFService resolves the problem temporarily. I deleted and
re-added the CERT to the cacerts store yesterday with no change...
Just weird right?

Simple SQL Query sometimes really Slow?
This may not be the right place to post this (man, CF-TALK has changed a lot in the last 5 or so years ;)). I have a simple SQL query that is showing up as running slow. When I run it via the Management Studio it is sometimes fast 0.1 seconds and sometimes, seemingly randomly slow 1.5 minutes!). Other queries on other tables are executing normally. This table only has 50k records and even a simple query is sometimes really slow. The query that runs slow is as simple as select commitDate,id from databaseChangeLog where usr_id = 62622 and form_id = 312468 and commitDate '2013-12-04 11:00:05.0' But is just as slow without the date part. The table has a clustered index on the primary key (id) and a non-clustered index on usr_id,form_id and commitDate. The index doesn't seem to make any difference. My guess is the table is locked. My question is: How can I determine if it is locked? What would be locking it. I checked all my code and there are no CFTRANSACTIONS or ISOLATED READS or anything like that. There are some inserts and the table has 2 TEXT columns which are being updated at times with fairly large values. But the only queries reported as slow are these simple SELECTS. The query execution plan uses the non-clustered index on (usr_id,form_id and commitDate). I'm just at a loss as to why this specific query is sometimes so slow.. where to look?

don't get quoted and break on the client side. And now I have this issue:
cfset x = {testval='.0006'}

{TESTVAL:6.0E-4}
WTF?

too slow to check each field for values like this and modify them to return
to the client. I need another Idea. Anyone?

Getting lots of DB Errors: Transaction was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Hey Guys,
I am getting a lot of these errors today:
Transaction (Process ID 65) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer
resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim.
Rerun the transaction.
On a system that is used to track 'views' of a page via an ajax request. All
of the errors are related to updating a specific table with a query like
this (this is not the CFML query..):
update formAnalytics_view
set INLINESTART={ts '2013-07-16 10:04:21'} ,
INTERACTED=1
where sessionid = '5BAC1158-D89E-4CB5-A8FB-1DC06D3E82A9'
The table has 4,925,131 rows and growing. It is has more writes than reads.
Is there something I can do to optimize this table to avoid these deadlock
errors?
I had added a try/catch around the transactions that were causing these
deadlocks, and then I was re-running the failed transaction in the catch
segment, but it looks like the lock was not yet removed and this was just
leading to more errors. What is the best way to resolve this? Would adding a
thread.sleep() statement and then re-trying the transaction work or would
that just lead to more errors?
Note the queries should 9 times out of 10 be updating different rows of this
table. Should I add an index on the sessionID? Or would that make writes
slower?

Absolutely you should have an index on sessionID. Without that index you
are forcing a table scan for that id so the engine can do the update. When
your table was smaller, SQL could deal with that a lot easier. Once you
start getting to 3-4 million rows, the performance starts to slow down on a
flat table scan. I have tables with 500 million rows and I can find a
unique record using a clustered index scan in under a second...
If you are only indexing the sessionID column you shouldn't see any major
performance hits on inserts and you should see dramatic performance
increases on your updates.

RE: Memory consumption issue in CF 9
You need to look at the threads that were running when your memory started to spike. Or look under the slow pages in fusion reactor and then look and see what they are doing, what queries are executing (seems like a pretty high number of JDBC requests per second) and how long they are taking.

UTF-8 encoding when writing to a PDF
I am totally stuck on this one. I am using an old Ben Forta tag cf_pdfform. Im still using it because it makes writing to a PDF form and populating fields easier than using the native cfpdf form population methods. The problem is that any strings with UTF-8 characters get truncated at the first character. The method basically takes an XMl string of form data and the PDF form/file and returns the populated PDF document (in this case in bytes). The XML I am testing with looks good: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? xfdffieldsfield name=activitiesvalueGrave accent (à, è, ù): Over a or u, used primarily to distinguish homophones: à (to) vs. a (has), ou (or) vs1. où (where, note that ù exists1 only in this word). Over an e, 1indicates the sound/value/field/fields/xfdf // PDF form input stream formIS=CreateObject(java, java.io.FileInputStream); formIS.init(ARGUMENTS.PDFForm); // Get PDF document object PDFfactory=server.javaLoader.create(com.adobe.pdf.PDFFactory); PDFdoc=PDFfactory.openDocument(formIS); // Convert raw XML data to byte array bytes=ARGUMENTS.XMLData.getBytes(UTF-8); byteArrayIS=CreateObject(java, java.io.ByteArrayInputStream); byteArrayIS.init(bytes); // Perform actual import PDFdoc.importFormData(byteArrayIS); //Call the PDFDocument object's save method outputIS=PDFdoc.save(); // Read bytes byteClass=CreateObject(java, java.lang.Byte).TYPE; PDFBytes=CreateObject(java, java.lang.reflect.Array).newInstance(byteClass, outputIS.available()); // And store them outputIS.read(PDFBytes); But when I executed the code below and then write the bytes via CFILE CHARSET=UTF-8, the form field data is truncated in the resulting PDF.

RE: Any reason a cfhttp post can't be made in a component method?
Hi Rick, There is no reason why this should not work via the CFC method or even via the direct ajax method. Some gateways however restrict access to approved IPs, so the ajax method, originating from the end user IP may not work directly, which is why you probably want to route it through a CFC. The CFC method is the best option anyways, because otherwise you would need to do 2 ajax requests to talk to Authorize and then send the results to your server. You should just call a CFC (via ajax), your CFC should post to Auth.net and then return record the result and return to the client. If your transactions are getting approved via your CFHTTP post, then you should be getting a result. What do you see when you dump the cfhttp.fileContent result? I have some authorize.net code you can look at that uses CFHTTP, just email me off list and I'll send it to you. Its nothing special though.. just a CFHTTP post and some list parsing code to parse the result...

Ok... next question. Can a jQuery ajax function be used to send post variables to a component method and have a cfhttp function post those variables to another domain, in this case, https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll ??? I'm at my wits end trying to process form data into two parts. The data fields that can go to authorize.net and the parts that need to stay with me and go into my database. Authorize.net forbids personally identifiable info from going into the merchant-defined fields. Ergo, I need to post some of the form data to Authorize.net and if a transaction is approved, post some of that info (not CC numbers, etc) to my database, along with other info not pertinent to the transaction, such as in honor of etc. The easiest way I thought to do this was to use AJAX and submit some of the data that way (I couldn't get a straight jQuery AJAX post to work...couldn't get a response from the Authorize.net server, although the transaction was successful) and I haven't been successful getting the form values with jQuery AJAX and posting them to Authorize.net by send the form values via AJAX to a CFC method, which utilizes CFHTTP for the post. No response from the Authorize.net server. If you know this will work, Ray, how much would it cost you to guide me through a solution. I have a patient client, but this needs to get done. I'm at the point now where I'm either considering going to session variables or just putting all the post variables into a temp table in a database, then processing the transaction, and, if successful, putting the transaction data into a permanent table. I just can't seem to work up a solution from everything I've read (which is all I could find) and everyone that would discuss this with me, including calling Authorize.net, who said we don't support developers... Can it be done? Can you do it? If so, how much to guide me through it? Still have my hair, but not for long!

Urgent: Server queues all requests for one loop
I have a jar file with a couple of methods that do decryption that I am
calling in a loop. The loop is big, 6000 iterations and while its running
the server is basically brought to a grinding halt and other requests start
to queue and/or execute very slowly.
The cpu is at 40% or so, memory usage does not spike.
How does one thread cause the entire server to grind to a halt?
The funny thing is, If I add a thread.sleep(10) in between each iteration
then the server is able to serve other requests fairly quickly and nothing
queues.
This code does not cause the server to queue all other requests because of
the thread.sleep(), without it, this loop takes over and everything else
queues (or completes very slowly):
cfset thread = CreateObject(java, java.lang.Thread)
cfloop from=1 to=6000 index=i
!--- adding this sleep command, saves the day and allows processing
to continue ---
cfset thread.sleep(10)
cfinvoke
component=#application.util.RSACrypt#
method=decrypt
inputCollection=#encryptedData#
key=#private_key#
returnvariable=encryptedData
/cfloop
This is the method that is being called:
/**
* Decodes a string encoded using its corresponding private key.
This must be done manually due to the unusual padding and
* byte ordering involved.
* @param encryptedString the encrypted string, in aec/TRSA's

* @param aecPrivateKey the corresponding private key, in

byte[] src = unpackAECEncodedBase64(encryptedString); //
this is where the time is spent..
BigInteger c = new BigInteger(1,src);
BigInteger m = c.modPow(d,n);
byte[] decrypted = m.toByteArray();
for(int i=0; idecrypted.length/2; i+=1) {

byte b = decrypted[i];

Calling custom Java class in a loop kills the server
I think I found out what was killing my server the other day. We used to use
an encryption CFX called textCrypt, actually we've been using it for years
and years, but it stopped working on our new CF9 64bit server.
So we hired a Java developer to write a java class that would handle
decrypting strings using the existing private keys generated with this CFX
(aec/TRSA.). The new java class seems to work pretty good, but when called
in a loop, ohh, 6000 times, it is really slow and the entire server
basically seems to stop and wait for it to finish before serving other
threads. I don't understand why this is the case..
We're calling the method below aecDecrypt() to decrypt each string (6000
times.) and its killing our server and taking too long to finish processing.
I don't know Java, does anyone see a way that this could be improved? One
thing I notice is that each time its called it takes the private key
provided and calls AECKeyToPrivateKeySpec() to convert the private key to
the format needed. I guess this really only needs to be called once each
time.
If anyone thinks they can help me with this I am willing to pay some one to
help me optimize this before I setup a new server specifically for
decryption so that it doesn't bring my webserver to its knees. I still don't
understand why that happens though.

RE: Migrate back and forth between cf7 and cf8 on IIS
Hey Daniel, If you set it at the site level then you should be able to have different settings for each website. Not sure if you would need a bat file to the changes. But you could probably script it by using the connectors that CF comes with (c:\coldfusion7\bin\connectors\IIS_connector.bat) or using some of the code in those bat files and specifying the correct site ID.

JSON Encoding Bug
I just want to say I think that it is seriously lame that Adobe has not fixed the encoding issues with serializeJSON() converting 'yes' / 'no' to true/false. Yes, you can append as string and then convert it back afterwards and all that, but that's just adding extra processing overhead and hoakiness(?), and this bug has been around for so long - its now officially annoying.

RE: Zen Desk Single Sign On
Well, it was super easy to implement!
I just created a page on my server called zendesk_auth.cfm. Zendesk sends
login requests here and I send back a response after logging the user in, or
if the user is already logged in. In my code, if a user is not logged in I
redirect to a login page which sends them back to zendesk after
authentication (you have to pass around the timestamp and return_to values
to send back). This is basically the code I used, I didn't include my login
page and login check, but that's pretty simple...
!---
zendesk_auth.lf
Description:
Called from zendesk when a user attempts to log in at zendesk.
Check if the user is already logged in here and send that info to
zendesk
or show the login page (zendesk themed) and let them log in here and
redirect
to zendesk
Parameters:
@param {String} url.return_to The url to return to
@param {Number} url.locale_id
@param {Number} url.timestamp
---
cfparam name=url.timestamp default=
cfparam name=url.return_to default=
cfset sToken= application.gs.zendesk_sharedsecret !--- you get
this from zendesk ---
cfset sUrl = ''
cfset sMessage = ''
cfset sDigest = ''
!--- user is logged in send back to zendesk ---
cfif structKeyExists(client,'isLoggedIn')
!--- create auth string and send back to zen desk ---
cfset sMessage = client.name client.username sToken
url.timestamp
cfset sDigest = hash(sMessage)
!--- and the url ---
cfset sUrl = url.return_to '?name='
urlencodedformat(client.name)
'email=' urlencodedformat(client.username)
'timestamp=' url.timestamp
'hash=' sDigest
!--- redirect back to ZenDesk ---
cflocation url=#sUrl#
/cfif
!--- not logged in, show login screen ---

Application Mappings RE: Ram Disk problem under load
So we ran a load test last night with 100 concurrent users. Everything went fine *except* this ram disk problem and another problem with a missing template include. Looking at it closer, both errors Could not find the included template used application mappings to do the include. These are defined in the application.cfc: cfcomponent output=false extends=coldfireApplication cfset this.name= 'YourMama' cfset this.mappings[ /publicroot ] = webroot 'web\public\' / cfset this.mappings[ /ram ] = ram:// / /cfcomponent Cf 8.01 had a hotfix that was supposed to fix custom tag path mappings acting up under load: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/529/cpsid_52915.html 73761 Fix for the error Cannot find CFML template for custom tag thrown under load when using THIS.customtagpath in application.cfc and enable per app settings is enabled. But I am running CF 9.01 with all the hotfixes. BTW, I dumped the ram disk after some failed includes and the file *did exist* on the ram disk. -- I just did another load test this morning, however this time the load was all done on a single application testing a form submission process (this is where the include error was generated). No errors this time. The difference between this test and the last test that generated lots of errors is that this test did not run concurrent load on the other side of this application which uses an application.cfc that extends the main application.cfc via applicationProxy.cfc.

Ram Disk problem under load
Hey everyone, Did some very light pre-load testing yesterday in preparation for a larger test tomorrow. This limited load threw some errors. I'm writing to the in memory file system some CFML code, that I then cfinclude to execute it. Its pretty straight forward code, and this was under very little load (10 concurrent users only). Note: I have an application mapping for the ram disk in application.cfc: cfset this.mappings[ /ram ] = ram:// / And then in the problem code: - !--- set the filename to a unique name --- cfset filename = 'wildcardparsing-#createUUID()#.cfm' !--- write the file --- cffile action=write output=#cfml# file=ram://#filename#/ !--- include and execute the cfml --- cfinclude template=/ram/#filename# / !--- clean up --- cffile action=delete file=ram://#filename#/ - The error I got was: Could not find the included template /ram/wildcardparsing-66031760-EEDC-69FB-8F2EFEC77564096A.cfm. I got a similar error in another template on a different execution that uses similar code to generate the CFML for a CFDOCUMENT tag and then writes it to ram disk and includes. I have never seen this error in development it only started happening under a wee bit of load. What could be the problem?

RE: Ram Disk problem under load
Hi Raymond, I don't see your reply actually... oh here it is in my junk folder...g... Tonight when the load test is running, I'll pause midway and swap in a real file path and see how that runs. The only other thing I can think is that there is a name collision and the file is deleted by another thread who was using the same filename. But the filename variable IS var scoped (FYI, this IS inside an application scoped CFC).

Also to answer your question about the garbage collection, I don't think that would be the issue, the garbage collector only removes objects that have a reference count of zero, I would assume that when you have a file on the ram disk ColdFusion maintains a reference to it, when you delete the file CF will delete the reference and allow the GC to cleanup. I don't think reducing the size of your ram disk will make the problem go away.

RE: Fusion Reactor and Fusion Analytics Kick Ass
Hi Dan, That wasn't a good example, and no it doesn't take a CF tool to determin a server reboot. However, this was a brand new server install that didn't have any monitoring services setup (which would notify me of a restart etc). Sure, I could have looked in the event viewer or other logs, but that wasn't really the point of my comment. The fact that I was able to see a spike in CPU usage (when my otherwise dormant application server was re-initializing) , click on it and see the exact CF log file entries at that time (which showed the restart) is useful and more than just cool. Plus that is just one of the options to inspect at any point of the graph. Fusion Analytics can pull up all of the JDBC requests at that time, and like I said, a ton of other useful information. I don't see how that's not of value and I have been administrating CF servers for over 10 years without the help of FR/FA . **For me** it is of value and makes my job that much easier.

The server environment is virtualized running on vmware on Dell 610s (in case any one cared..).. Anyhow, what I really want to know from you experts is what should I be watching and recording during these load tests?

Accessing the Application Scope of another App
Hi,
Can you guys tell me if this is bad practice or will lead to memory issues.
I have a CF app that has the main app and an admin module, each with their
own cfapplication, and application namepace. From within the admin app I
need to clear some application scoped data in the main app.
I do something like this:
cffunction..
cfif application.applicationName is COREAPP
cfset local.appScopeReference = application
cfelse
cfset local.appScopeReference =
createObject(java,coldfusion.runtime.ApplicationScopeTracker)
..getApplicationScope('COREAPP')
/cfif
cflock scope=application type=exclusive
cfset structDelete(local.appScopeReference,'somekey')
/cflock
/cffunction
Is there gonna be an issues with dumping the app scope into a local variable
like this? Or something else?
Brook

Hey Andrew, I do use redgate (love it!), but I need to be able to transfer objects from a number of tables, and there is also lots of JSON encoded data that itself contains id references from other records and file path references for media. Also, for each 'object' there is a specific directory structure and supplemental files. Its hella complicated :( Anyhow, I already wrote the code to copy the forms and its really multipurpose as customers often ask to transfer/copy forms between accounts aswell. So now we can do that via a web ui, and also port a problematic form to our debugging server where we can replay their failed commit (we store the commit array which describes each change made before saving) and find where the problem is.

Best Practice question about database access between Dev and Production Servers
Hello, I'm setting up a new environment and I would like to have the ability, through a web UI to copy objects from our production database (separate server) to a development/debugging database (separate server). My question is not about how to implement this but rather whether this is bad practice. It would involve exposing the production database on the dev server (via a datasource mapping in the cfadmin). This would mean that any developer that is using our dev server (my concern is contractors..) would be able to write a query against the production database and potentially download sensitive data. How to people handle this type of risk? One idea I had was to not hardcode the database username/password in the CFadmin and instead prompt for it when accessing this specific tool through the web UI. Does that sound like a reasonable means of protecting the data in the production database from developers working on the development server? Anybody have better ideas?

RE: [ANNOUNCE] CF-FireLogger
Hey Max, Got it installed (painless) and it looks cool. What I am wondering is it seems like you advocate using trace() instead of console(). And it sounds like if firebug/firelogger is not enabled, that no debugging output would be sent. Is that true? If so, is there a performance penalty to using this on a production server to track a bug? Wouldn't any client that does not have the firebug/firelogger combo and their IP added to the CF debugging IP list not get any additional overhead? Does the trace tag have overhead when debugging is not enabled? Just some thoughts Thanks again for a very cool extension and contribution to the community!

I am using cftransaction isolation=repeatable_read to single thread access to scheduled tasks that live in a DB table. This application spawns multiple servers, and each server is set to poll the scheduled task table every 3 minutes. It grabs the tasks and executes them. Now, if this was on one server, I could simply use a named exclusive lock to single thread access to the tasks so that multiple servers don't pick up and execute the same task (they should only be run once). What I have ended up doing is something like the code below. Basically, within the repeatable_read transaction I also update each row that was picked up for processing. This has the effect of causing another server who reads the data at the same time (before the enabled flag is set to false) to fail. I've tested this by adding a sleep() command after the first read and running this from two instances. One request always fails, so that is working as I want it to. I guess my question is, will this lead to performance problems? Is there a more elegant way to do this? cftransaction isolation=repeatable_read cfquery name=getEvents datasource=#application.gs.datasource# Select ID,cfc,runMethod,arguments,frequency,frequencytype from scheduledTasks where enabled=1 and nextDate cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp value=#createodbcdatetime(Now())# and startDate cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp value=#createodbcdatetime(Now())# and endDate cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp value=#createodbcdatetime(Now())# /cfquery cfoutput query=getEvents cftry cfquery datasource=#application.gs.datasource# update scheduledtasks set enabled=0 where id=cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer value=#id# /cfquery cfcatch cfinvoke component=#application.core.Log# method=call logFile=scheduledEventLauncher log_error=Unable to update table, another server has a lock? #cfcatch.message# #cfcatch.detail# email=true cfreturn false /cfcatch /cftry /cfoutput /cftransaction Thanks for the input! Hopefully the above code does not get mangled..

RE: Changing Application settings at runtime
What I ended up doing was just setting a flag in the request scope when I
need to fallback to an alternate SMTP server. I just set request.toggleSMTP
= true and then in the onRequestEnd() method, I check for that flag and do
the processing to update this.smtpserversettings to an available server.
This works...
I load so much crap into the app scope, that I don't want to re-initialize
the application!!

Subject: Re: Changing Application settings at runtime
In CF9, there is the ApplicationStop() method which will restart the
application on the next request, thus reinitializing the application scope.
Ben Nadel wrote up an investigation of this awhile back:
http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1667-Learning-ColdFusion-9-Resetting-Applicatio
ns-With-ApplicationStop-.htm
One thing to note is that calling ApplicationStop() does not reset the
Session scope. This could be viewed as either a bug or a feature.
So if you are ok with restarting the application while leaving the session
scope in place, I'd place the smtpserversettings in your
OnApplicationStart() method and make a call to whatever service you have
that knows what the currently valid server settings should be.
Of course you still have to figure out how to trigger the fact that you need
to reset the application because of a downed smtp server.
Hope this helps,
Judah

Is the CF scheduler Reliable?
How reliable is the CF Scheduler? For years we have used the infusion mailserver and its Infusion Scheduler App/Service. Its always worked great but since that product is dead/no longer supported, we need to find a new way of running scheduled tasks and adding/removing scheduled task programmatically. In the past I have seen lots of posts about the built in scheduler being unreliable. What I need to know is can the built in scheduler be used reliably for mission critical applications?

Is CFMAIL reliable??
Hi Guys (and girls), You may notice a trend in my postings! Moving away from infusion (long over due) and looking at Native CF functions instead. So now I am looking at CFMAIL and in the past know it has been a bit dodgy. There is a conversation here about restarting the spooling service: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg342750.html And Ben Nadel talks about monitoring the undeliverable folder and how the spooler just occasionally stops working. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1893-Monitoring-The-ColdFusion-Mail-Server-With -GMail-And-A-Scheduled-Task.htm The comments attest to this being an issue for a lot of people. So I guess the question is, has this been resolved or is it necessary to implement all of these hacks to keep CFMAIL running well?

So in short, how do I search for keywords like select,declare in a

Right, set up a function that you call to get the variables, and have it

you *can* do something like so:

I used to have this issue as well, you obviously cannot read read

that do not exist yet and you cannot create them until the
application scope is initialised.
The way I got round this is to have 2 XML files.
One that contains the init variables that need to exist before the
application scope is initialised, and I load these into request
scope onapplicationstart. Once this is done, I then load the global
config into the application scope.

application vars that are read via onApplicationStart() are not
available within the opening part of the application.cfc and when
I try to set these properties inside onRequestStart() they do not
work.
Should I be able to set these in onRequestsStart()?
cfcomponent output=false extends=coldfireApplication
cfset this.clientManagement= true
cfset this.setClientCookies= true
cfset this.setDomainCookies= false
cfset this.clientStorage =
application.gs.clientVarDataSource

RE: CFGRID strange behaviour in Production Server (Windows 2000 + ISS)
Steve's right, if you have unescaped HTML inside the grid (in the data), then it can cause the grid display to be wonky.

You could write a straight Ext implementation, skipping the cfajax components all together. Or, it could be a data issue, where something in the data is breaking cfgrid's js. If you're server versions, hotfix levels, etc are all the same then it should just work.

RE: Setting client variable datasource via config.xml
But can you set this.clientstorage that way? Because It seems setting that property within onRequestStart() does not work. In my requestStart method I call another method which sets a client var. If I set the this.client[(storage|Management|etc] in the onRequestStart, I get an error that the client scope is not enabled when I try to set a client var in a method called from there. Sorry to be using client variables Nathan :( Brook -Original Message- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:r...@michaels.me.uk] Sent: August-11-11 5:45 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Setting client variable datasource via config.xml I used to have this issue as well, you obviously cannot read read app vars that do not exist yet and you cannot create them until the application scope is initialised. The way I got round this is to have 2 XML files. One that contains the init variables that need to exist before the application scope is initialised, and I load these into request scope onapplicationstart. Once this is done, I then load the global config into the application scope.

RE: Run a class file generated with CF outside of CF
Hey Nathan,
So what I was doing was this. I am working on a new web app written with
extJS. I have a CFC that I call that builds the client side app. It reads
all of the ux and util directories and generates a config file used by
jsBuilder to compress, combine and minify the JS used on the client side as
well as compress and move CSS and resources.
I am working towards getting a CI server setup and also need to ensure all
developers can run a build locally. That's where the problem arises. The
developers (JS developers) will not have CF installed on their local machine
(or our pre-configured EC2 instance), and so I need to move the process of
generating the jsBuilder config and executing it out of CF and into
something that can run on any developers workstation - without a big install
and setup.
Since its just 1 CFC, I thought I could just use the java classes. But of
course there are dependencies.
I found a wicked, super cool solution to this last night! I downloaded Ralio
Express and was able to get it to execute my CFC with basically zero setup.
Ralio Express is freakin awesome! There's no installer, you just run
start.bat to start the server and stop.bat to stop it. So I've added it to
my SVN and written an ANT task that starts it up and then runs the CFC that
indexes all the directories, read in an XML config file and calls (via
cfexcecute) the CFC that handles the build.
My ANT task has these targets:
target name=startRalio description=Starting Ralio Server
depends=MakeDirectories
java jar=tools/build/ralio/lib/start.jar
dir=tools/build/ralio/
fork=true
spawn=true
maxmemory=512M
arg value=-h/
arg value=-DSTOP.PORT=8887/
arg value=-DSTOP.KEY=railo/
/java
!-- wait for server to start up --
waitfor maxwait=10 maxwaitunit=second
and
socket server=localhost port=/
http url=http://localhost:/index.cfm/
/and
/waitfor
/target
target name=doBuild description=Call the Ralio script to in turn
call JsBuilder and do compilation depends=startRalio
get src=http://localhost:/build/doBuild.cfm;
dest=buildresult.txt /
!-- look for buildresult.txt, read the result and throw an
error if any errors exist --
loadfile property=buildresult
srcFile=${desktop.build.dir}buildresult.html/
echo message=${buildresult}/
antcall target=checkResult /
antcall target=stopRalio /
/target
Never used Ralio before, but very impressed with it!

Subject: Re: Run a class file generated with CF outside of CF
Yeah, it's probably not going to happen. I mean, I am getting famous for
saying that it's software, so we can do anything, but the problem is the
amount of work it takes to do a thing. In this case you have to load a good
amount of the CF server into memory, all the other related classes (one
..class for the cfc, one for each cffunction, etc.), then fake a request
response object, or whatever servlets do (I knew at one point). Your best
bet is to not do this.
It would be much easier to call your CF server rather than try to use the
generated code out of context. There are many ways to call into CF from
Java. The easiest one would be to hit it via a HTTP URI. Second easiest
would be a web service. Third, you can use the CF services gateway - you can
set up a local socket listener, which should be really performant. Also, I
think Terrence Ryan had a project on RIAForge that lets you call it via the
command line console.
I wonder, what is the underlying reason for wanting to call the generated
classes? Sort of an odd request. Why are you doing this? Maybe there's a
better way to accomplish your end goal.

I assume this is not at all possible since the classes include lots of
CF specific classes for various functions. Is that right? Is this not
possible?

RE: Run a class file generated with CF outside of CF
Sean, Re: Railo from the command line That's sounds very cool and will be very useful. Nathan, Yeah, I know its kinda nuts to do all that just to run one CFC. But it is a pretty big CFC and it does a lot including reading in and parsing XML config files that are used by the application, and indexing directories etc. While I would agree it would be better to keep it all inside ANT without the dependency on Railo (thank Peter!), the main factor for me was implementation time. I'm already behind schedule and no time to re-write this code - so using Railo was the fastest solution. It has the added benefit that it is leveraging some existing CFML and plus, CFML scripting is where I am strongest (that and JS..), so it made sense. I think if I had the time I would have done it all in ANT. What you said about using Rhino sounds very promising. Brook -Original Message- From: Sean Corfield [mailto:seancorfi...@gmail.com] Sent: August-07-11 6:22 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Run a class file generated with CF outside of CF FWIW, Railo 4.0 will make this even easier by allowing CFML to be executed directly from the command line (or ant) without needing a server running at all. This will effectively make CFML a general purpose scripting language that can be used outside the servlet container! Builds of 4.0 are currently pre-alpha and undergoing testing in-house. Once Railo 3.3 goes gold (should happen around the end of this month), that will become the stable release and 4.0 will appear on the development builds / bleeding edge provider.
