Re: Sessions persist after server restart.
Is it using the CLIENT scope, with vars in the db? Is it storing things in the COOKIE scope, and checking that scope on login for previously entered credentials?

I then shut down CF, clicked around in my application to make sure everything was down, then brought CF back up and my session info was still alive in my application. So, I did a little research and came across this (http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/sharedVars_02.html) where it states: /If you use J2EE session management and configure the J2EE server to retain session data between server restarts, ColdFusion retains session variables between server restarts./ Ok, I'm using J2EE sessions, so now I know what's going on. Now, my question is, how do I turn it off? Adobe hints that you can configure the J2EE server to retain session data, but gives no clue as to where or how. All I've found is the checkbox to enable/disable J2EE sessions. Also, is this something that is turned ON or OFF by default? I'm just wondering if I accidentally turned it on, or if it's always been on and I never noticed it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337262 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Problems with slashes in JSON
If Eric is returning a plain string, then there is no need to SerializeJson() the result, as all he needs is the string. That is why Eric is getting the additional slashes in his closing tag, because the SerializeJson() method is automatically escaping the slash characters. I'll agree with Michael though. If you did get a Json return, and just parsed it to add the li tags in your doc you'll reduce your (unnecessary) server-side overhead. Returning the string is easier, but not necessarily best for you application or your code reusability.

Re: Is CFGRID in CF9 solid enough for heavy use for CRUD functionality?
I tell everyone that the cfajax tags are great for rapid prototyping, but it's best to go straight ExtJs for production implementation on anything but the simplest work. One of the biggest issues I've seen, in examples of paging with the cfgrid tags, is the use of the QueryConvertForGrid() method for creating your paged datasets. If performance is an issue, you will be much better served by writing a true paging query. The QueryConvertForGrid() method is basically taking on a QueryOfQuery approach, whereby your querying your entire recordset and filtering it down at the CF level before passing it to the grid.

Re: Is it possible for a ColdFusion web service method to return an object?
I don't have a ton of experience with web services, but I would think the answer is no. Web services generally return string representations of data, either in the form of XML or JSON.

In your test, I would structure the URL as:
http://www.mysite.com/admin/email/art.cfc?method=getGROUPSreturnFormat=JSON[whatever
name value pairs you need for your method]
Otherwise, hitting the component direct, without a query string, would
try to load the component browser/javadoc layout of the component. It
may be a permissions issue you are having.

Re: cfgrid
Ah, yes. But, a complete ExtJs solution would be much more... OK, that (not) said, cfgrid does have problems with multiple insertions. Or, rather, it doesn't really deal with them well. When you insert a line, it gives the underlying Ext store record some default values. This includes the id, which could be either '0' or empty. Once you've posted back to the server, if you haven't updated that record with the id given at the server level, then the next time you attempt to insert a line... Well, you get the idea. What you might do is reload the data store after inserting to the server. This does hit the server again to reload your grid, but it also ensures correct data after it re-renders. Check out the Ext.grid.GridPanel and Ext.data.Store API's on the ExtJs site for more information.

Re: javascript and coldfusion
I find it best to use ExtJs, for a number of reasons. One, it's bundled in ColdFusion, and I can rapidly prototype applications (using the cfajax tags), then build out full featured apps that directly resemble the prototypes. Licensing is not an issue, as we are licensed the use of the library with the server. It is also the largest (that I know of) consistent library of components available. What that means is that, aside from being a very large library of client side components, the internal make up and methods of those components are consistent as well, making it easy to code and manage because the objects and method calls maintain familiarity between each other. (not sure if I explained that well, but hopefully you get what I mean). It is also very easy to write one's own user extensions to the library, creating your own reusable set of components for specific tasks.

The JQuery Validate plugin has a method whereby, aside from any standard checks you put in place (not empty, alphanumeric only, etc), it will make an Ajax request and assign a field it's validation status based upon the Ajax status return. http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com On 10/15/2009 2:05 PM, Les Irvin wrote: I'm working on a site where people register and choose their own username.

Re: Issue converting to Application.cfc from Application.cfm having UDF's
Why don't you just but your UDF's in your Application.cfc directly? Then
those functions are automatically available from anywhere within your
Application.cfc. Otherwise, I would put those functions within a utility
cfc, which you could place in an APPLICATION scoped variable inside your
onApplicationStart() method, which you could then access from anywhere
within your application. Either method should force you to re-evaluate
how you set and reset your scope variables, and you will probably find
better ways of doing these things than you may have used in the past.

below:
cffunction name=onRequest

cfinclude template=all_udf.cfm

I also included that file under onApplicationStart as below:

Re: cfform Flash and value
If you don't see something like name/value pairs, for the fields and your values, in the source as flashvars in the object creation call, then I can't see how it would ever load your data. UPDATE: I just checked cfquickdocs, and discovered the following information regarding the 'value' attribute of cfinput, in conjuction with the 'flash' cfform type: 'Flash: optional; specifies text for button type inputs: button, submit, and image.' That seems to suggest that you would *not* be able to set the value of the field of a Flash Form (it says, basically, the HTML works as expected).

Re: Automated posting to Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace
Mike, I won't tell you It's dead simple, as dealing with any outside API can have it's quirks. That being said, a quick search of RIAForge, for both 'Twitter' and 'Facebook', brings up multiple results for ColdFusion and AS3 bits for interoperating with those services. It does not bring up anything for 'MySpace', since so few actually want to touch it (I guess), but MySpace is written on top of ColdFusion, even if it is the ASP/ColdFusion mix that BlueDragon allows. A quick look at their site does show a 'Developers' section, for their 'MySpace Open Platform'.

Re: Form in CFWINDOW - currently CHEATING to get parent to refresh...
Nicholas, Using cfwindow, he is actually using a modal window for his edits, not a popup. As his data is not in cfgrid, but a custom layout, my advice would be to contain all of the logic of that layout (including sql call for data) in it's own template. Use the Coldfusion.navigate previously mentioned to handle updating the db, then use the callback to call that template to update the region. JQuery would be a good option here. -- Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Dynamic External Javascript Sheet
Although there are several really big advantages to an external 'javascript' file being a static file, who said that your external file must end with .js? You can put a .cfm file in the src attribute of a script tag, serving a dynamic document through. Just make sure that the generated JavaScript is valid, and use the cfcontent tag to tell the browser that it's a javascript file.

I came up with the idea of compiling all the javascript in acfsavecontent and then writing that output to a specific .js file but I quickly realized this would lead to race conditions if two users accessed the page at the same time.

Re: cfgrid - data layout options vs some other method
You can control the layout, by using custom column renderers, which you'll have to define after the fact.

Re: CF9 and Bolt in eWEEK
No, I don't think it is. It ilooks to me as if there are large blocks of code, within ColdFusion Builder, that were written by Mark Drew (and it seems I have heard that somewhere). It stands to reason that they wouldn't interoperate, as ultimately they don't just have similar classes and functions, they are the same classes and functions. From what I can tell, ColdFusion Builder has every feature that CFEclipse has, plus more. But, we're talking two separate spaces here: ColdFusion Builder will presumably be a paid application, whereas CFEclipse is an open source application. Is there a need to use both simultaneously? No, I don't think so. The only reason I can (currently) see for switching back and forth is if you are also using the CFFrameworks or MxUnit tools (which are separate), and I'm sure someone will write CFB extensions to emulate that functionality. If someone wrote a warning into the installer, and I'm not saying they haven't (though I haven't seen it), I can see where there's a very valid reason for doing so. It's not an attempt to push out the little guy, or put you in Adobe's black box. It would be a valid warning to let you (the user) know that you will probably have incompatibility issues that will compromise your productivity.

Re: Ext Js 3.0 Released
Ext Js 3.0 is highlighted in the top section of their homepage right now. The separation of products is easiest found from the Products menu item on the site. They are separate products, though Core is at the core of Ext Js itself, with the rest of the library being built on top of it. Themeroller does look very sharp. I'll have to drop a note to the Ext team to check it out. There are many themes available within the learning center and the forums, but nothing this tight to show you your options. Judah McAuley wrote: I'll have to take a look at Ext again as well. We bought a license to get at svn a bit before the 3.0 beta release at the April conference. At that point, at least, there had been no substantial themeing changes and all that they were really releasing was Core. It isn't obvious from the site now if anything besides Core has been released. Perhaps it is just confusion though. When they released 3.0 Core, I expected there to be a follow up with 3.0 Other Bits. Have they rolled it back into one project? Is there no separation between Core and...other stuff? Do check out the themeroller for JQueryUI. You can do a lot of on the fly skinning for people with different color look/feels without having to change any images at all and that is huge for rolling out multi-customer websites.

I need it to be able to call this function:
swfobject.embedSWF but I cant get the js to load properly
Does anyone know of a workaround to get this to work? Does CF8 have anything
built in that will do the same as swfobject and not conflict? Maybe im doing
it wrong?
The main reason I'm doing this is the swf isn't working right if I use the

Re: Ext Js 3.0 Released
You're looking at the wrong bits. Ext Core is the same thing as JQuery, a DOM manipulation and Ajax setup. Ext Js (full) would be the components (similar to JQueryUI, though more full featured). Theming does require a log of images. With the various controls we've customized, I know I've had to change about 30. Spket can help, doing the entire library, if you're theming only entails color differences. I've never seen (or heard) of the themeroller engine for JQueryUI. I'll take a look at it.

That might depend on the app. We have seen instances where IIS will pass something as one CGI variable, whereby Apache would send it as something completely different. If you don't have internal logic to check for both and act accordingly, it can be an issue. These occurrences are rare, but possible.

Re: AJAX
widgets are the autosuggest combobox, the html data grid, border layouts, modal windows, etc., typically loaded by a remote source via Ajax. So, some of what you mention (the search field) falls under that category, while some of the other stuff is just pure Ajax, for which either JQuery or Ext Core are both well suited.

Re: Open source ColdFusion again
I'll agree with Ray on this. I have an advantage of being a JavaScripter long before I came into CF (and that was some time ago), but I know a lot of CF developers who never cultivated that skill set. The CF 8 Ajax components are an excellent entry point for those without the knowledge, as well as an terrific tool for rapid application prototyping for those who do have the knowledge, or for small applications looking for a little kick. When 'slow'/'bloatedness' become a barrier, then it's time to either learn the underlying technology to get beyond it, or to hire someone to do it for you.

I have proved this because a dump of the errorHandler variable points to: cfc.Utility.ErrorHandler. This leads me to believe that CF is first looking in the global custom tag paths directory before it looks in the per-application custom tag paths. When I removed the global custom tag path that points to D:\Inetpub\AceLink, the page breaks with the error that the component cannot be found. Now, this leads me to believe that I have a coding error, but I have double- and triple-checked all of the paths. The paths, above, are copied and pasted into this message. The same goes for the Application.cfc code. If anyone can see my problem, I would certainly appreciate it. I'm so close to this I probably can't see it right in front of me. However, I am expecting that this is a bug because I have several other web sites, on this same server, that work as expected with Application.cfc and per-application settings.

Re: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
Mark is exactly right, and you would never want to instantiate components within your Application.cfc constructor like that, as they would get re-created on every page request.

You'll want to use a standard cf mapping: this.mapping['/Components'] = 'c:\Inetpub\componentpath\'; Then ref that path (/Components) in your code.

Re: Need advice on creating Login/Logout feature in CF
So, put your one template in it's own folder, with it's own Application.cfc that extends the root Application.cfc, but has additional functionality added to it's methods. Say you have an onRequestStart method in the root Application.cfc. You want the functionality of that method, plus the security stuff: cffunction name=onRequestStart access=public output=false returnType=boolean cfargument name=thePage type=string required=true / cfset SUPER.onRequestStart(thePage = ARGUMENTS.thePage) / !--- The security logic stuff --- cfreturn true / /cffunction Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com On 6/22/2009 3:46 PM, jason robinson wrote: Hi there, I'm working on my first full CF website. I've done work in the past using CF and Flash as well as CF and Flex, so you'd think doing just CF would be easier. Unfortunately the entire process is giving me an inferiority complex. :( In any case, I'm trying to do a simple login/logout feature. I've read a number of articles discussing the use of an Application.cfc to secure an app (Ben Forta's book) but I'm still having trouble. The thing is, I don't need my entire app secure, I just need one page secured (a member_profile.cfm). I've tried placing the member_profile.cfm page in a folder and adding the Application.cfc to that folder. This works but if I want to logout of the site, I need to have my logout.cfm in the folder as well (which of course automatically asks me to login). There has got to be a better way. Should I be using an Application.cfm file? I'm clearly missing something fundamental here. Any advice/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Open source ColdFusion again
Don, Just use straight Ext Js on one of these engines, rather than relying on the cfform tags. Or, try ColdExt.

Or, put it this way, I think the need for a freebie cfml engine + cool latest ajax functions are of substantial value, but probably the way it is now, is freebie cfml engines like BD, may not have native ajax functions like what cf8 has. Rolling up one's sleeve is one option, need for it may be many, mostly probably small-medium sized companies (SMEs), how about this? What if a bunch of people/SMEs chip in to pay some top notch jquery programmer with heavy cf to develop some sort of plug-in, that the 'investors' could have for free and sell it to anyone who needs it for a very reasonable fee? Am thinking loud here... @ Barney Boisvert, it's just the semantics. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Open source ColdFusion again
And, more to Barney's point, that's part of why Adobe CF costs money. Ext Js is bundled within Adobe CF because Adobe pays the licensing fees required to include it as part of their product, similar to Adobe's support for Verity, PDF, and more. This is part of why Adobe CF is not an open source. That being said, Railo's plugin architecture (and OpenBD may do this too) allows anyone to develop a plugin of a 'wrapper' implementation around an Ajax library.

With cf8, we need to use cfajaximport, I don't see this tag in fBD, also, cfwindow, cfdiv, bla bla, sorry I'm greedy... and jetty is cool too.
