Re: how to restart a specific CF application (not app server)
I know I could restart the ColdFusion service and that would probably do the trick. However I'm anticipating needing to do modify onApplicationStart several times during the course of development, and I would prefer to find a way to restart just this particular application. Set the applicationTimeOut values (i.e. this.applicaitonTimeOut) to 0. Run a template in the application and the application immediately times out. Then the next time (and all times until you again change the applicationTimeOut value) the onApplicationStart event will fire. ~| 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:344270 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

There are definite limits on how large of document that xmlParse() can process. As xmlParse uses a DOM parsing methodology, the entire resulting data structure (which will be several times larger the the original text document) must fit into memory. If this document is too large to dom parse you need to do something that parses it segment by segment, such as a sax parser. ColdFusion does not have a built in sax parser.

I.E. How would one pass a 'file' to a web service? Or can you only
pass the content of the file as a string? Which is differernt and
apparently does not work for what we are trying to do. When I did that,
we would start getting 'java heap out of memory' errors dealing with the
quanty of content we need to pass to this web service.
To clarify, is there a way to pass a file reference through a web
service object that can be used in a cffile action=upload... tag in
the cffunction... block?

No matter that the parameter of the cffile... tag is called. The flow is: User picks file with client (i.e. browser) file form control. The user submits the request. The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request. It then sends the request to the web server (i.e. IIS, Apache, etc).

The web server then tells ColdFusion about the uploaded file and where it was.

Re: Beta Tester Wanted for new CF (MVC) Framework
Both mime types and file extensions can be spoofed by a hacker as both are just data that hackers can manipulate on their end of the client-server relationship. Unless you are running code that actually inspects the content of the file to confirm that it matches the file type and the mime type reported by the http headers (which are trivial to set by users who know how from the client) in the request, you are opening a vulnerability here. Even if you do check, the file is already uploaded while the checking is occurring, and a hacker can take advantage of the delay to execute his code before your validation has a chance to reject the file. And ALL of this is based on what the hackers are doing today with today's vulnerabilities. Why leave your framework in a position where it would be at risk if hackers figure out tomorrow some other way to hide code in innocent looking files and execute it if the file is under a web root. ~| 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:340435 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

New Apache sites return 500 Internal Server Error for all CFML requests.
This is an ugly one. I think it is an Apache2 - ColdFusion 9 web server connector problem. I have two Solaris Unix web servers. Each of these servers have a dozen and a half Apache web sites each one connected to one of five ColdFusion instances. All, but *TWO* of them are working properly. We created two new Apache web sites and connected them to a new ColdFusion instance. This worked fine on one of our boxes, the development one, but not on the other, production of course. Whenever we try to request a cfm url from one of these sites on the production server we get a 500 Internal Server Error. HTML pages serve up just fine, and the new instance's Administrator runs fine on its 8305 port. So both Apache and ColdFusion seem to be working independently, but they are not talking to each other. All the other Apache sites connected to the other four ColdFusion instances also work properly. This has led me to investigate the web server connectors. They have always been tricky and problematic to set up on these boxes. The built in tools have never worked for us on these boxes and we have always had to manually compile the connectors and configure the connections in the web sites.. But, as far as I can tell, all the connection setups are the same between working examples and these non-working sites. Any insights into what else I should be checking and|or how web server connectors actually work (they have alwasy been mysterious black boxes to me) would be greatly appreciated.

Because ColdFusion is NOT your database server, it has NO IDEA what column exist or do not exist. It does not see 'dateOfTotal' as a database column. It sees it as a COLDFUSION variable. And it is telling you there is no such variable in your CFML code. All cfquery... does is bundle up a big string and send it to the database. It is the database the is able to parse the string into SQL commands and references to the Database schema, such as Column Names. To do what you want to do you need to include some strings that will represent DATABASE functions inside your cfquery... block, then when the string gets to the database server it will recognize them and give you the results you so desperately desire. Now I can't easily show you how this would work because database date and time functions vary considerably between one Database Management System and another.

I'm glad you got something to work! But you may want to reconsider your
choice of function. A quick internet search showed that the MySQL 5
day() function is to: Returns the day of the month for /|date|/, in
the range |1| to |31|
Thus day('2010-11-05') will return 5 as will the associated dateFormat()
function. But since you do not include month or year portion you are
going to return results of every dateOfTotal record that is the 5th day
of the month for every month for every year in your database. I imagine
that is not the desired result.

Re: cfquery not returning results with apostrophe

thanks for the replies, although the preserveSingleQuotes doesnt work
You should be looking at the actual SQL that is being sent to the
database. It would be provide clear evidence of what is wrong.
Looking at this line:
cfset havingClause = HAVING categoryname IN (#arraytolist(value)#)
I expect you are getting SQL output that looks like this:
HAVING categoryname IN (aaa'a)
What proper SQL should look like is:
HAVING categoryname IN ('aaa''a') !--- note the double single quotes
inside the outer quotes ---
You may want to investigate the listQualify() function.

Authorization and Security for a web service
I do enjoy when I get to branch out and do things I've never done before. We are getting deep into the planning stage of a new project that will be a web service to be consumed by an outside agency to integrate their data systems with ours. We will want there to be security and authorization so that our system has a reasonable assurance that the submitted data only comes from their system. I'm pretty sure there are several ways to do this, but I have never done anything like it before. So I'm hoping some of you can point me to any good information on what we need to think about? How we might do this. What the process and code might look like to implement. Information along those lines. A couple of ideas that have already been raised. We creating a public|private key that they use to connect to our server as well as standard user name|password authentication.

Re: Function to Output a query as an ol or ul
I *THINK* what you are trying to do is a classic problem for a recursive function. Create a function that handles one level of your list with the proper ul and li tags. Then for each record inside the logic for the li... test to see if there is another level, if so call the same function. Rough and incomplete pseudo code. cffunction name=myMenu... ul cfloop li #anMenuItem# cfif anotherLevelmyMenu()/cfif li /cfloop /ul cfreturn theMenu /cffunction ~| 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:336580 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Something done with triggers probably. Then it does not matter what user interface is used to update the data.

Regex question
I need to turn some relative links into absolute links in a string. I have this rereplace() working well to do that. rereplace(links,'(href=)([^]*)','\1http://www.cdpr.ca.gov\2','ALL') But there is one link in the string that is already absolute going to a different domain. Is there an easy way to filter it out? This replace will happily prepend the above domain in front of the other domain in the absolute link.
