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,

Subject: Re: Adding Salt and Password Hash to existing acocunts
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.

Extending a Component vs. Passing an Object
I have a service CFC that calls my dao CFC a lot. Currently, I just pass in an object of the dao to the service's init() method and save it to the variables scope to be used throughout the service. But, I'm wondering if I would be better off having my service CFCs extend their dao's instead. Thoughts? Are there any benefits to extending a CFC instead of just passing it in as an object, or is passing an object better?

Creating Indexes with ORM
I'm just starting to play around with CF 9's ORM some, and I love that I can have it automatically create tables for me. But one thing I have haven't been able to figure out yet is, is there a way to create indexes on tables via CF 9's ORM? I'm not talking about the indexes for primary keys or FK relationships to other tables. I'm wanting to create indexes on table columns not related to other tables. Is this doable in ORM, or am I just going to have to create the tables on the DB server to do it?

Thanks Dave, I tried to use the index attribute, but I can't seem to get it to do anything. Either ORM would create the table and ignore the index, or ORM just flat out wouldn't work.

Re: CF 9 Mulit-Sever only uses default site
Thanks Russ! I looked through everything you suggested, and I can't see anything wrong. Here's my wsconfig.properties file: 1=IIS,1,false, 1.srv=localhost,cfusion 1.cfmx=true,null 2=IIS,2,false, 2.srv=localhost,Test01 2.cfmx=true,null So it looks like my #2 site is pointing to the correct Test01 CF instance. The CFM handlers in IIS are pointing to C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll for both of my sites. Is that correct, or should site #2 be pointing somewhere else? Something else that I noticed is, whenever I spin off a new CF instance none of the datasources seem to be carried over to the new instance. I have to add them manually.

CF 9 Mulit-Sever only uses default site
I have a strange issue with my CF 9 Multi-Sever install running on Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7. This is a new server and I set up CF 9.01 in multi-server mode on it yesterday. The install went fine, and I have my first instance up and running with no problem. I was able to successfully spin off 2 more instances from within the CF Admin. I have my sites set up in IIS, and I ran wsconfig to assign each site to a CF instance. I made absolutely sure that I selected the correct CF instance and the correct site in wsconfig. For whatever reason, all of my sites still use the default cfusion instance, regardless of what I've assigned to them in wsconfig. I even deleted the sites from wsconfig and added them back, and every one of them still uses cfusion. Has anyone every run into this before?

Best thing for testing code?
We are wanting to put some type of testing system in place here at work. I know there's a ton of stuff out there, and I'm really at a loss as to where to start. I'm not sure if any of the TDD frameworks are what we're after or not. Our main concern right now is setting up something to help test our existing applications. Here's a scenario of something we would be wanting to test: We have an automated process that checks for new orders that came in from our website. This process takes an order and checks each of the items in that order to see if we have it in stock or need to check 3rd party vendors. If it needs to check the vendors, it begins going through a list of venders and hitting their APIs to see if they have the item. In certain cases we may want to skip vendor 1 and order directly from vendor 2, or always order from vendor 3 without even looking at the others. Once it finds the item it then instructs our system to place the order for the item with that vendor, and then it moves the order over to our accounting system. We're not just concerned with whether or not the CFCs work, we need to know that the correct vendor was selected for the correct item, the database records were updated with the correct values, we don't accidentally place the same order with 2 vendors, etc... All that to say, what would be a good testing system to use with something like that? I'm open to any and all suggestions, even if it's something we have to purchase.

(ot) Recover Data from External Hard Drive
So, this is way OT, but I'm hoping someone out there can give me some suggestions to help me figure this out. Here's my situation: I have a 500GB USB external hard drive on my home PC that I use to store pretty much everything. All of our pictures, financial documents, mp3s, code repositories, everything. I have the hard drive partitioned into 2 equal parts, and they are set up as the F and G drives on the PC. Last week, my 9 month old grabbed the cable and pulled the hard drive off of the desk. When I plugged the hard drive back in, I could no longer access any of the data on the drives. Windows is saying that the drives need to be formatted. I've tried it on 3 separate machines, and I get the same thing on each one. When I plug in the hard drive, Windows sees both the F and G partitions, but wants to format them every time I try to open them. I looked in disk manager and it shows each partition with the correct size, but it says that each one is 100% free and contains no data. It does this on Windows XP, Windows 2003, and Windows 7. I tried booting Knoppix to see if I could access it that way, but I can't even get Knoppix to see the USB hard drive, or if it does I don't know where to look. I used VirtualBox to boot an Ubuntu instance, but got the same results as Knoppix, either it doesn't see the USB hard drive, or if it does I don't know where to look. (now would probably be a good time to mention that I don't know squat about Linux). So, that's my predicament. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on what to try? I feel like that if I can get Knoppinx/Ubuntu to see the drive that may be my best bet, but I don't have a clue as to how to do it. (plan on doing some serious googling tonight). I appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.

I've got a hypothetical situation that entered into me little brain this morning that I thought I'd ping the group on for answers. Let's say I've got an object cached in the application scope. The call to this CFC is used throughout the site, which gets a lot of traffic. Everything inside the CFC is var scoped, and it's completely encapsulated. It's just runs a query, sets some variables, and returns the results. What would happen if I were to reset the cache (by re-running cfset application.myCfc = new com.blah) while someone was using that cached call? There's enough traffic on the site that it's almost certian that there will be users on it when I reset the cache. This cached cfc is used on every page, so it's almost certain that someone will be in the middle of doing something with it when it's reset. What will happen for that user when this happens?

API Question
I'm creating an API (if you can call it that) for one of our applications. It's nothing big or fancy, actually just 1 cfc with 1 method in it that's going to be a front-facing component for AJAX calls to hit. All it's going to do is take an ID, call our main cfc to do some processing, then return the results. My question is, is it better to have my API cfc just extend the main component, or should create the connection to the main component in the API cfc? What is the standard or preferred method for doing this?

Problem with Client Variables not persisting.
I've got a strange problem here that I need some help figuring out. We have a site running on 8 load balanced CF 9 servers. We're doing a lot of stuff with Client Variables, and all of our code works fine in development/staging, but in production none of the client variables persist. After digging in to it, I find that we're getting a new CFID/CFTOKEN on every page request, which explains why the variables don't persist from page to page. My question is, could this be a problem at the load balancer? If sticky sessions were not enabled or configured correctly, wouldn't it cause this? My gut tells me yes, but I wanted to see if any of you have run into this. Thanks!

Re: Problem with Client Variables not persisting.
Thanks Pete, Our host said they are having problems with the load balancer, so it looks like that's the problem. I was thinking about putting something out there to identify which server I was hitting. I'll probably put some type of small flag in a comment on the pages so I can just view source any time and know which server I'm on.

Hi Eric, Yes if sticky sessions were not working or configured properly on your load balancer that would certainly cause you to get new CFID/CFTOKEN on each request. As of the ColdFusion security patch for session fixation (APSB11-04) if the CFID/CFTOKEN values do not correspond to a valid session on the server it will return new ones. In prior versions of CF it would just create a new session with the CFID/CFTOKEN values that were sent. The problem with that is that your session id's can last a long long time. You can actually disable the session fixation patch by adding a JVM argument: –Dcoldfusion.session.protectfixation=false but I'm not sure that you want to, first I'd double check that your load balancer has sticky sessions setup properly. One way you could validate that would be to create a page that returned something unique to each server in the cluster (eg it's IP address, or CF serial number) then hit that page, if it keeps changing then you are hitting different servers. -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting Products http://petefreitag.com/ - My Blog http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure?

Re: scoping
That's kinda backwards If you don't specify a scope in your cfset statement, then CF will always put it in the VARIABLES scope.

Re: scoping
VARIABLES is implied when setting a variable, not when calling one. CF will always go into search mode if you call a variable without a scope. In CF 8 it will search 3 other scopes before looking at the VARIABLES scope, and in CF 9 it will search 5 scopes before looking at VARIABLES.

Is saving a query in the session passed by reference or by value?
I know that complex data types (structs, CFCs, queries, COM/JavaObjects, etc...) are passed by reference, not by value. But I'm wondering how that works when storing them in the session scope. For example, let's say I have a query that returns a really large result set, and after that query runs I store the query results as a variable in the session scope. cfquery name=variables.qry select* FROMbigTable /cfquery cfset session.myQry = variables.qry Would the above code just create a reference to the result set already in memory, or would it actually create a copy of the results in the session? In a similar scenario, what would happen if I had a CFC object stored in the session, then passed my query results to it to be stored in that CFCs variables scope? cfquery name=variables.qry select* FROMbigTable /cfquery cfset session.myCFC.blah(variables.qry) -- Thanks, Eric Cobb http://www.cfgears.com Help me make a difference this summer. http://bit.ly/i8dJvQ ~| 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:343252 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Since we're doing a cflocation, which starts a new request, storing the query results in the request scope doesn't work, and a query result set can't be passed as a url variable in the cflocation tag. Is storing the query results in the session scope on page A, then retrieving it on page C my best option? Either that or calling the query on both page A and page C?

Suggestions for building a web service
I've been tasked with building a very simple web service into our existing application. Basically, we have another department here that needs to know if a user is set up in our application before they set that user up in their application, so they need a way to hand us a username and we verify if that user exists. In my particular situation, complete SES urls (site.com/user/validate/123) are not an option, although I can do this: site.com/index.cfm/user/validate/123 . I was thinking of just having index.cfm parse the query string and use that to determine which CFC and method to call, then return the XML. (i.e.: call the Validate method in the User CFC and pass in the ID 123) Also, at this point, using a framework is not an option. I already know that once I have this first one up and running, there will be two more they want built that will have almost the exact same functionality (see if a user is valid, see if a customer is valid, see if an account number is valid). In all of these situations, these calls will be GET only, so they give us an ID and we tell them true/false if the record exists. So, my urls for these would be something like: site.com/index.cfm/user/validate/123 site.com/index.cfm/customer/validate/456 site.com/index.cfm/account/validate/789 What would be the best way to go about this? Am I on the right track or heading down the wrong path? I've see a lot of info out there about using web services and APIs, but not a whole lot on actually creating them in CF. I've read a couple of posts on Ben Nadel's blog, and gone through some of Simon Free's presentations, but that's about it. As I'm just getting ready to start building this thing, I want to make sure I have it laid out correctly.

Re: I think I'm confused...
You may be able to take it a step further and on your Development Server just have the IIS default website point to your MSOC site. Then, you won't need to fool with any IIS entries, just add whatever urls you want to your local hosts file and have the IP address point to your Dev Server. When the Dev Server gets the request, it will just hand it to the default site without worrying about what url is.

Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC)
One thing you may want to take into consideration, if you plan on having many sites run through this codebase, is NOT giving each site a unique application name. (as in cfset this.name = #cgi.server_name#). I once worked on a MSOC system that ran somewhere around 2700 websites, and each site had its own application name. So, every time we cached a CFC in the application scope, we had 2700 separate instances of it, even though they were all identical. We had 2700 application.dsn variables stored in memory, even though they were all identical. We had multiple CF servers each trying to store and manage the same 2700 separate applications, all of which were completely identical. And the worst part was, there was no passing ?reinit=1 if we made code changes and needed to reset the application scope, we had to restart each CF server and take all 2700 sites offline in order to reset all of the applications. To me, this always seemed inefficient, and a gross waste of CF processes and memory. Just some thoughts I wanted to throw out there. Definitely something to think about if you're planning on having a large number of sites on your system.

Your relationship with the client changes and the client wants to take the site and move. Now you are faced with either holding the client's site hostage or giving away your multi-site base code framework (possibly even to a competitor). Neither of those is an attractive option. It really depends on how you set up the contract and the expectations. Broadchoice (where I worked in 2008) has a software-as-a-service CMS which hosts a number of high-profile client sites. It's very clear to the clients that they're using a multi-tenant SaaS platform and therefore they know upfront that this isn't a site they can just take over (although there is an option to license the codebase for an internal installation). 2. Also, assume one or more clients keeps coming back to you to make adjustments and additions. Now your code is getting more and more mucked up with custom-code exceptions. That's also not cool. Eventually that will make your framework really difficult to manage and upgrade. At Broadchoice we tackled this by designing a pluggable, modular architecture for applications that could literally be dropped into the (single) codebase and then configured to be available on any client sites. The nice thing about this is that one client may pay for the module to be developed but it's still provided to them as a service - they're not purchasing the code - and then it can be offered to other clients, as a paid option if appropriate. The key is really in deciding whether you're just hosting a number of sites or whether you're offering a website platform in a SaaS model. You might also want to read Steve Cutter Blades blog series about MSOC: http://blog.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/MSOC At World Singles, we have about 50 sites all running on a single codebase. Mostly the sites differ in branding and look'n'feel but there are functional differences between many of the sites, managed with a similar model to what we used at Broadchoice. ~| 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:342425 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
Here's another viewpoint to throw into the pile. Just because MORE businesses aren't using ColdFusion, doesn't mean that businesses aren't using MORE ColdFusion. The product can continue to grow without adding new customers. At my last job, when I started working there we had 4 CF developers and 3 CF 7 production servers. A little over a year later we had the same 4 CF developers, but 15 CF 8 production servers. Adobe got to sell 12 more CF8 licenses, plus the 3 original upgrades, and there was not 1 new developer or new customer added to their list. They got to see roughly 5x the revenue from one customer, with no marketing or promotional expense (to us) on their end. Not a bad deal for Adobe, eh?

Re: help w/ DateDiff() please
Wait, I'm confused, are you trying to use the CF dateDiff() function, or
a database's dateDiff() function? If you're using a database's, then I
think you need to wrap #today# in quotes.

We have been using it internally for a few years on several projects, so I am curious to see if it works as well for others as it has for us. I think it is quite a bit unlike any other ColdFusion framework out there. It isn't hub-and-spoke (where all requests are routed through index.cfm, for example). It doesn't require OO. It does, however, provide pretty significant automation and allow for very concise (but still expressive) code. It is free and open source for any use.

(OT) IIS 7 Wonkiness with BlogCFC and cgi.path_info
I just moved my blog over to a new server (Winders 2008). So far all of it seems to be working correctly, except for one page, and I can't figure out what IIS is doing. I'm hoping someone here has run across this or has enough experience with IIS 7 to tell me where to look. For whatever reason, IIS seems to be ignoring the cgi.path_info for my about page and process it as a directory. So, for http://www.cfgears.com/page.cfm/About it's trying to find an About directory and throwing a 404 instead processing page.cfm with About as a cgi.path_info. The funny thing is, all of the other pages on the site use this exact same url format without any problems. For example, http://www.cfgears.com/index.cfm/CFML works correctly. The only difference in the 2 urls is that one calls index.cfm and the other calls page.cfm. All index.cfm calls work, and all page.cfm calls break. I know that page.cfm is there, I put in a Hey!abort at the top of it and you can pull it up in the url (http://www.cfgears.com/page.cfm), but http://www.cfgears.com/page.cfm/About still throws a 404.

Re: (OT) IIS 7 Wonkiness with BlogCFC and cgi.path_info
Wow. Thanks Russ. That wasn't exactly what was wrong, but you put the solution right in front of me. :) (I guess now would be a good time to mention that this is actually a Railo/Tomcat/IIS install? Oops...forgot that in my original post.) In the Tomcat web.xml file there was a section for servlet mappings. Among the entries there, I found this: servlet-mapping servlet-nameGlobalCFMLServlet/servlet-name url-pattern/index.cfm/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping So, I said to myself, Hey, that looks like it wants to process a cgi.path_info variable. I wonder what happens if I add an entry like that for page.cfm? Once I did that and bounced Tomcat, it all worked correctly. So, thank you for helping me find the answer. I didn't realize this was a Tomcat issue, I would have sworn up and down that the error I was getting was from IIS. Oh well, seems like I've got some Tomcat/IIS issues to figure out. I'll pester the Railo list of that. :) Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com Russ Michaels wrote: Sounds like you have a similar problem to this http://russ.michaels.me.uk/index.cfm?mode=search The same solution may fix your CF problem as well.

License question about compiled code between Developer Enterprise
I've got a quick question that we pretty much already know the answer to, but I wanted to get some verification. If we write our application using the Developer Edition of CF, and compile our app. code using the Developer Edition, then take that compiled code and put it on a licensed production server with CF Enterprise Edition, we're not in any type of license violation, are we?

(ot) Eclipse hangs on startup.
Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed that my Eclipse seems to take a really long time to start up. It always hangs at the splash screen forever, then finally it starts loading. Once the loading bar appears, it only takes about 15-20 seconds to load. This morning I timed it and it stayed on the startup screen for almost 7 minutes before it started loading. Once it finally opens up, I can close it an reopen it and it takes less than a minute. But, that initial startup after I log in, reboot, etc.., always hangs at the splash screen for 4-7 minutes. I'm using Eclipse 3.5.2, 64 bit, on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 4GB of RAM. In an effort to fix the problem, I installed Java version 6, update 21. It just came out last week and is supposed to have some bug fixes aimed specifically at Eclipse. That didn't help anything. I also have Eclipse 3.5.2, 32 bit, on this machine and it takes just as long to start up. Just to see, I set up a fresh blank install of 3.5.2, 64 bit, and it came up with no problems. I've searched the interwebs trying to find a way to tweak my eclipse.ini settings, and so far I haven't been able to find anything that fixes this. I've even restored the eclipse.ini file back to the original and it's still slow. At first I thought it may be a plugin that was causing this, so I uninstalled all unnecessary plugins, but that didn't fix it. I even made sure that my 32 bit and 64 bit didn't have the same plugins installed, and they don't. The only core features they have installed in common are: -Eclipse Data Tools Platform -Eclipse Mylyn -Eclipse Modeling Project So, I'm guess that one of these is the culprit. I'm really not sure, though. Does anyone know if there is any way to tell what's causing Eclipse to hang at the splash screen for so long? Some way to get a behind the scenes look at what's going on? -- Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com ~| 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:335935 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Need a west coast (US) based CF host
Now() + 3 shouldn't be that hard to implement. ;) (assuming all of the date/time stamps are being entered via CFML instead of the DB itself) Just a note, Railo allows you specify the time zone for each site, so if you want to use a Railo host, it doesn't matter where they're physically located. Your site can have it's own time zone independent of the server time zone.

They're a company that's physically based in CA... recently moved hosts to an east-coast based company, and now timestamps are off by 3 hours when they add events. According to the previous developer, they're using a calendaring system (specifically, a particular version of a calendaring system) that isn't set up to handle time zone differences. He's told me that trying to update the code to handle this would open a whole new can of worms. I've explored the options, and the path of least resistance seems to be to relocate the site to a server based on the west coast. Or at the very least, a server whose clock is set to PST.

Re: CF Shopping carts
Wait...what? -Your client refuses to listen to you and has rejected your every suggestion. -Your client has no money and refuses to use the free resources already available. -Your client expects you to build a custom site for free. -You agreed to build the site on the hopes that you'll get paid when it takes off. -You don't believe this site will ever take off. -You're unemployed, and are doing this work for free knowing that you'll probably never get paid for it. I think I've found the source of your frustration, and it's not that there isn't a free CF shopping cart... I've been an unemployed, broke, work from home, take what you can get, freelance contractor myself, so I know where you're coming from. (My wife and I both lost our jobs on the same day back in 2005, so I REALLY know where you're coming from!) I've wasted many, many hours on these types of clients in the hopes that one day it would turn into something. What I found, though, was that the ones that wanted everything for nothing to start with will continue to expect everything for nothing even after their business takes off (if it ever does). Even if you're doing work for a friend, they'll always expect the good-ole-boy discount. I can hear it now, C'mon man, I could outsource this for a third of what you're wanting to charge me. You never tried to charge me this much before! I also realized that there comes a point where you have to fire some clients. If it's not profitable, then it's a waste of time. Sure, I realize that sometimes you have a $100 electric bill that's due and you need to buy groceries, so you'll do whatever work you can find to get that money. But don't do the work if you don't get the money. Free projects should be done in your free time. The time you waste on the freebie clients would be better spent trying to find paying clients, or cutting your neighbors grass to scrape together the money you need. Trust me, I've been there.

I know I certainly wouldn't know the absolute best way to do something when just transferring over to a new language. I'm willing to bet there are many seasoned .Net developers who would make plenty of rookie mistakes when just starting out with CF.

ColdFusion is not just a competitor with .NET; it's a competitor with pure J2EE solutions.

Check for remote CFC call in CF 8
Is there a way, in CF 8, to determine if the current request is calling a CFC that has access=remote? Basically, I'd like to mimic CF 9's onCFCRequest() method, but only for remote methods. I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon trying to figure out why my jQuery AJAX call would work for me locally, but break on our staging site. All code was identical in every comparison, and both sites were using the same database so the data was identical as well. Long story short, our staging server had CF debugging turned on, and it was appending the debug info to the end of the json being returned from my CFC call, which then threw errors in jQuery. Locally I have debugging going to ColdFire/Firebug, so I never saw the problem. Anyway, a simple cfsetting showdebugoutput=false fixed the issue. So, rather than having to remember to use cfsetting for every remote method, is there a way I can programmatically figure out if the current request is calling a remote method in CF 8? -- Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com ~| 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:334572 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Thanks Brian. That eliminated all of the RegEx I was having to do, but
my closing list tag is now being displayed as \\\/li at the end of

Any idea on how to fix that?

Just a note that your list item has no closing tag.
You can try building up the string with assignments rather than using
cfsavecontent. i.e.:
cfoutput query=loc.custList

Subject: Problems with slashes in JSON
I can't figure this thing out for the life of me, and I know it's got to
be something simple that I'm missing.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm using jQuery to hit a CFC and return
data. The CFC actually queries the database, loops through results and
creates list items for each row. I then return the list items to
jQuery, which populates my UL with them. Here's my problems and what
I've done so far:
* returning the data from my CFC as a string causes jQuery to
actually display the html code in the brower, so I literally see
liEric Cobb/li.
* returning the data as JSON shows the list items correctly, but my
page is littered with \\n\\t\\t\\t\\t at the end of every record.
* I used a regex to clean up all of the line breaks, carriage
returns, and tabs in my CFC before returning to jQuery and that works.
* In every record that contains a slash / in the data, the slash
has been replaced with \\\/.
* Nothing I do can get rid of these slashes. I've tried RegEx,
SerializeJSON(), and JSStringFormat() in CF, and a whole whoost of
jQuery escape(), html(), text(), and replace() functions, and
nothing works.
I think my biggest problem is that I've staring at and fighting with
this thing for too long.
Here's my method:
!--- get a list of all external customers for AJAX calls ---
cffunction name=AJAXgetAllCustomers access=remote
output=false returnformat=json
!--- create a struct to hold our local variables. ---
cfset var loc = structNew()
!--- returns a query. ---
cfset loc.custList = getAllCustomers() /
cfsavecontent variable=loc.rtnContent
cfoutput query=loc.custList
li#Trim(loc.custList.full_name)# -
#Trim(loc.custList.addr_line1)#, #Trim(loc.custList.city)#,
#Trim(loc.custList.state)#
/cfoutput
/cfsavecontent
!--- remove all line breaks, carriage returns, and tabs. ---
cfset loc.rtnContent =
ReReplace(loc.rtnContent,[#chr(10)#|#chr(13)#|#chr(9)#],,ALL)
cfreturn SerializeJSON(Trim(loc.rtnContent))
/cffunction
And here is my jQuery call:
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentdiv').load('myCFC.cfc?method=AJAXgetAllCustomers');
});
/script
So, can someone please tell me how to escape the characters so that I
can get rid of the \\\/ in my display output? And while I'm on the
subject, surely there has got to be a better way than having to manually
escape every character individually that may cause problems. I
shouldn't have to run regex and whatnot to make everything work. In my
mind, SerializeJSON() (or returnformat=json for that matter) should
have everything escaped and formatted nicely for jQuery, who should then
know how to parse everything and display is correctly. Am I wrong?

Re: Problems with slashes in JSON
I originally thought about just parsing the return in jQuery, until I realized what this code was ultimately going to have to do. The items in this list are actually going to wind up having text hyperlinks, form buttons, and maybe even images added to them, so for me it's easier to build it out in CF and just have jQuery display it. Too much JavaScript hurts my head. :) I'm about to the point I'm ready to ditch jQuery and just do what I need to do without trying to be all ajaxy with it. Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com Cutter (ColdFusion) wrote: 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.

The cost would therefore more likely be based on the amount of effort (time/money) involved in developing (research, planning, developing, testing, marketing) the product. A lot of us hoped they would see that selling it a lower price point would help to increase the uptake of the language as a whole and thus ultimately sell more server licenses. For a large company like Adobe, profit is what the company makes as a whole, not what one product alone brings in. Microsoft learned this a long time ago and has used free and low-priced items to increase their revenue in other areas, and it's certainly a large reason for their success. Bundling it with FlashBuilder may be their way of trying to increase the uptake of the language as a whole and thus ultimately sell more server licenses. By doing this, they're potentially introducing CF to PHP developers, Java developers, etc. Everyone who uses Flex but doesn't use CF on the server side. I'm not exactly sure that selling it at a lower price point would have the same effect. It'd appeal to those of us who currently use ColdFusion... we'd conceivably be able to buy the product for $199 instead of $299. Ok... but I don't see where that would necessarily increase the uptake of the language as a whole. I also think their move to bundle CFBuilder with FlashBuilder -is- encouraging developers. It's encouraging me to make the foray into Flex, which is something that I've wanted to do for a while now. Not if the price discourages me from even buying the product in the first place. But you're already a ColdFusion developer. If I wanted to buy FlexBuilder 3 last year, I'd have paid $299 (i think... it was certainly in that neighborhood). So we know that Flex developers are willing to pay that amount. They're going to pay the same thing this year, and get ColdFusion Builder. Adobe is pretty much giving it away to the Flex community in hopes of doing what you say... increase the uptake of the language as a whole. We CF folk.. we pay a little bit more than the $199 we hoped it would be, and get FlashBuilder. So not only is Adobe conceivably introducing CF to other developers, but it's conceivably introducing Flex/FlashBuilder to us. I'm sorry that people think $300 is too expensive. I know that expensive is a subjective term, and while some people can whip out their credit cards and order a copy without a second thought, some of us will have to save up for it. But as has been pointed out... if you use the product for a year (and it really shouldn't even take a year), how much time are you going to save... how much more productive could you possibly be? Maybe the answer is, not enough. In which case... there are alternatives (CFEclipse and others). For me, I think it'd be enough (I'm currently using TextMate on Mac as my IDE... so I don't really have a horse in this race, so to speak). I've used the beta of CFBuilder tho, and I can see where it'd save me time. I run multiple CF8 and CF9 instances on my dev machine. Generally one at a time... not having to jump out of the IDE, into terminal, stop one service, start the next, back to the IDE... instead I can just open up the servers pane in CFBuilder, stop one service, start the other. Code insight, extensible via writing extensions in CF (-not- Java)... I think I'd make my $300 back in under a year, and probably end the year being up a few bucks. I get that it's not going to be for everybody. It's not going to work for everybody. I just wish folks could be more pragmatic about it and say, yeah, it doesn't work for me... but I can see where they're going with it.

Re: Online domain name search tag/tool
The simplest thing to do would be send them to http://internic.net/whois.html and let them look up the domain. The site is run by ICANN, and all it does is look up a domain and tell you if it's registered or available. If it's registered, it gives you some of the public registration information for it. thanks, eric cobb ecar technologies, llc http://www.cfgears.com Terry Troxel wrote: Coldfusion Tag/Tool for Domain Name searches. Is there such a thing that can allow you to let your users search for possible domain names to register without going to places like godaddy.com who then show them pricing for hosting, design, Coldfusion, etc. who are trying to put you the small business out of business (please pardon the rant).

Re: Two CFQUERY statements?
Sounds like ColdFusion is having problems connecting to one of your databases. Try this: 1) make sure you can verify both datasources in your ColdFusion Administrator. 2) make sure you didn't misspell one of the datasource names in your cfquery tags. thanks, eric cobb ecar technologies, llc http://www.cfgears.com Steven Sprouse wrote: You'll have to excuse me, I'm still sort of a CF novice so I'm not too familiar with how to use CFTRANSACTION. What I was doing was just putting two separate CFQUERY statements at the head of my document, each with a different name attribute and different data sources. When I did my cfoutput of the second cfquery, that's when I got my error. The error was Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][DataDirect][ODBC SequeLink driver][SequeLink Server]The specified data source is not defined. But I'm not sure that is very helpful to you. If one of the databases was converted into a table and placed into the other database, I'd have no problem with this, but for some reason I'm getting tripped up with the different data sources. Thanks for any help you can offer. You can happily query multiple databases within the same request; what you can't do is query multiple databases within a single transaction. So as long as your CFQUERY tags don't share a CFTRANSACTION block you should be fine. Can you post the actual error message? cheers, barneyb On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 12:26 PM, Steven Sprouse sspro...@ccboe.com wrote: I have someone who has two separate databases and they want me to write a Web form generating option menus from both databases.

Re: Forms Processing: Updating Only Changed Data
The first thing that jumps out at me would be to have hidden form fields in the form that contain the original values. Then, when you're processing the form any value that doesn't match its corresponding hidden value has been changed. thanks, eric cobb ecar technologies, llc http://www.cfgears.com Blizzm wrote: We have several lengthy forms that are going to be used for updating records and various data. We are also looking at recording which form fields have been updated. Is there a means for updating only those records which have changed? I was thinking of looping through a form collection, comparing submitted vs. existing database values, storing any changed values and then having a CFC process the SQL update. If this is a good starting point, how would I be able to update only those fields that need to be changed? For example if I have 100 fields and only 10 have been updated, how can I write a query to update only those 10 fields?
