Re: Remove all CF comments

2012-03-01 Thread James Holmes

This is why we pair program. Eventually everyone on the team has seen each
bit of code in the app (or at least most of it) and when new people come
along they get to sit with someone who knows the app well and can reinforce
the design expressed in the tests. Regardless of skill level they can then
maintain the app, because face to face communication works better than
written documentation.

Really good tests and self explanatory code do exactly that. Any code that

Re: Remove all CF comments

2012-02-28 Thread James Holmes

Those using comments to plan code probably don't have any tests. Tests are
essential to allow re-factoring with confidence; comments don't provide
that benefit. This is not a religious belief, it's  something that can be
demonstrated the first time you want to maintain a 1500 line file and all
you have are comments.

In TDD, the test is written first. It expresses the design for the code to
follow. When the code is then re-factored, it ensures the code still meets
the original design.

And TDD is the easiest way to cover the re-factoring necessary to prevent
1500 line files from turning up. It's also the easiest way to come up with
the good designs that are equally as necessary.

Dev shops who've implemented TDD can and do easily measure the improvement
in code quality scientifically. Indicators such as number of defects
discovered post-deployment (or even during development) are a tangible,
improvable measurement.

Seriously, instead of being offended, try reading more on Agile practices.
This stuff actually works and produces measurably better results
and measurably better value for your clients (which is what it's all about).

 If they are running CF8 without security hotfixes then there is a really
 good chance that it was the FCKeditor vulnerability:

 But there are also so many other things ways they could have done it. The

Re: Opinion: Abuse of session variables

Race conditions in session variables can only occur when two requests from
the same session execute concurrently. This is more likely with ajax
requests or framesets. Since everyone uses ajax requests these days (even
though no-one uses framesets any more), it is still an issue, as you say.

BTW, the issue with the existing code is this:

 xmllennox-products

CF thinks you are trying to do maths on xmllennox and products by
subtracting one from the other.

If you are just after products, you can dramatically simplify the code by
using xmlsearch() to get them with xpath instead of manually looping
multiple levels down.

 Hi Rick, replace your inner-most loop with the following.  It should
 get you going in the right direction.  It looks like there is another
 layer of sub-categories which needs to be accounted for:

 !--- Loop over the sub-categories ---
 cfloop from='1' to='#arrayLen(xmlProductContent.products.SubCategory)#'
 index='subCategoryCount'

  !--- Localize our current sub-category ---
  cfset thisSubCategory =
 xmlProductContent.products.SubCategory[subCategoryCount] /
  h2#thisSubCategory.SubCategoryName.xmlText#/h2

  !--- Loop over the products in this sub-category ---
  cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(thisSubCategory.Product)#
 index=productCount
!--- Localize our current product for easier access ---
cfset thisProduct = thisSubCategory.Product[productCount] /
!---cfdump var=#thisProduct# /---
p
  ID: #thisProduct.xmlAttributes.ID#br /
  Model Name: #thisProduct.ModelName.xmlText#br /
  Image: img src=#thisProduct.SmallImage.xmlText# /
/p
  /cfloop !--- Products ---

 /cfloop  !--- Sub-Categories ---

Re: cfobject dotnet assembly

You can't create an instance of that class that way.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.web.administration.sitecollection(v=vs.90).aspx
 says,

public sealed class SiteCollection :
ConfigurationElementCollectionBaseSite

This class is sealed and does not implement a public constructor. You can
access the SiteCollection class through the
Siteshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.web.administration.servermanager.sites(v=vs.90).aspx
property
of the 
ServerManagerhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.web.administration.servermanager(v=vs.90).aspx
 class.

Since it's not static, you need an instance, but since there's no public
constructor, you have to get that instance via ServerManager.Sites.

ServerManager does have a constructor and all the methods/properties you
need to get at the rest of the things you are trying to configure.

Re: WSDL 404 Error

Back on our old CF servers (6 or 7, I can no longer remember) we needed to
create a mapping that matched the physical path to fix this issue.

So if our cfc was in http://mydomain.com/some_folder/hello.cfc, we needed to
create a CF admin mapping for /some_folder/  to the physical path.

 So folks, does anyone know what to do when ColdFusion fails to create the

 If you can't take the WSDL URL for your web service and load it in a

 ON the server, CF can't load it either.
 
 The 404 from your CFHTTP call is a good indication that CF simply can't

 it.

You mentioned that all of your team are remote workers,
right? Distributed Agile is painful. Latitude hurts and longitude kills.
This is really good advice:

Agile is hard enough to introduce when everyone is in the same room. It's
going to be nearly impossible without a very experienced Agile coach for
your situation. My advice is get a good Agile consultant to help you work
out all of these issues (this person can start as the SCRUM master).

 Very thoughtful response. I appreciate it!

 We haven't fully embraced Agile in our group. Mostly for the fact that it's
 a pain nobody wants to suffer, so we find ways to get around it. I guess
 that's where the scrum master role comes in. I don't know that we have
 anyone that forceful on the team. We probably have some who are forceful
 against it though. I like the idea of syncing up sprints between projects,
 so we all have the same release schedule - that would make it feel more
 like
 we are working at the same pace, same schedule and together.

 What did you have to do to make your team take the agile pill? Did you (or

  So my question to the list is this: How do you organize your teams of
  developers successfully? Please let me know what you do, or what you
 have
  seen that actually works.
 
  Hi Nathan.
 
  I manage a team of 11 technical folks, and when I was promoted to
  management we had a similar challenge.
 
  Internal teams that build apps that support the business tend to get into
  this silo'd structure because what they're building has a specialized
  purpose, and as the business demands more of these specialized
 applications,
  it usually starts off with just one guy building it... and then they
 become
  the lone expert. With a heavy demand for change, the low hanging fruit it
 to
  use the guy who knows the app vs. risking someone unfamiliar with it
 who'll
  have to go through the learning curve.
 
  Management wise, it is a motivator to give people ownership.
 
  But, it is also a huge risk to have SPOKs (Single Points of Knowledge).
  Sure you can have knowledge bases, Yammer.com, IMs, Wikis, etc... and
 it's
  good to do that, but that's just information. It's only until you have a
  deep understanding of the domain/context are you able to leverage that
  information as knowledge.
 
  One technique I used was to maintain is a Knowledge Matrix of all our
  applications/features, I map out who knows what and what their strength
 is,
  and how critical/complex that feature is in order to calculate risk. I
 can
  then prioritize by risk, and make sure that other developers are getting
  exposure to these areas.
 
  Another highly successful thing we did was switching to Agile/Scrum
  development practices. Although you guys on a Visio chart are one team,
  you're functioning as independent one man teams.
 
  A Scrum practice you can start tomorrow are daily standups - from 10am to
  10:15am everyone stands up together and discusses what they did
 yesterday,
  what they're doing today, and if they're stuck on anything (in order to
  invite others to help). It's time limited, no additional conversation
  allowed - that can be done outside of that meeting, no sitting down and
  getting comfortable... the team needs to feel confident that it never
 ever
  goes beyond 15mins.
 
  It'll help promote some awareness of what everyone is doing and encourage
  some communication. But it won't be enough to solve the problem as no one
  will really know deeply what you're talking about unless they're very
  familiar with the application.
 
  So the next step would be to truly get the team functioning together
  cohesively by going full Agile. Everyone is working together on the same
  cycle, and although different applications, you're working together as if
 it
  were one project. Very short iterations of 2 to 4 weeks, requirements are
  broken down into small little pieces - the team picks who is working on
  what, but no one is limited to working on just their app.
 
  You can try to learn it yourself - but getting in an agile training
  organization like cPrime.com to give your company a 3 day onsite bootcamp
 on
  how the process works is the fastest way to make it happen.
 
  Hope that helps.

 Curious as to what you all think is the best method for something.  I have
 a table that contains a list of polls. I have a user table that contains a
 list of possible persons who may complete the poll (it requires log-in
 access). I want to present a poll only one time so users can't complete a
 poll more than once, so I need to maintain a list of users who have
 completed a poll.

 I see two ways I can do this:

 1.  I can create a cross reference table that keeps users ID and Poll IDs
 (of users/polls completed), then use an SQL NOT IN to select polls for users
 who are NOT IN the completed poll table.

 2. I can add a field in the POLLs record and put a delimited list of User
 IDs who've complete the poll, then not select any polls where the COMPLETED
 field contains the user ID of a given user.

 There are about 1,500  users. There will probably be not more than 10 polls
 going on at any one time. Poll history will be maintained for about 60 days.
 Thus, there may be thousands of COMPLETED records.

 Given that, is one of these methods better than the other, and if so, why?

 Should I use a delimited list in the POLL record, or should I use a
 cross-reference table with a join and NOT IN select... or should I do
 something different.

 A cross table is definitely THE standard way to do it.

 Although it is not considered good practice by database ayatollah,
 a delimited list may be an option when a reasonable number of possible
 values is involved.
 there are several advantages:
 1º it is simpler to update in the database in case of modifications (only
 one field in one query);
 2º the list is return directly in a list of checkbox input fields.
 3º the select query returns directly a list, I'm still looking for a way to
 get directly a list in a query using a cross table.
 4º CF is especially well equiped for list manipulation.
 However you have to make sure that the number of possible values cannot get
 too large in the future.

 For instance I use this technique for registration to activities in a
 convention.
 Participants will never attend thousands of activities, even in a 15 days
 convention.

I guess when Google+ finally destroys Facebook, the same open source tools

run on CF for a long time (as suggested, they migrated to .NET via

Myspace failed because it was full of ugly sites with content no-one wanted

As far as I can tell, when a larger entity swaps away from CF it's

If you're spending time on .NET, I suggest getting into MVC3 and

 Yes, it is a packet capture tool. It allows you to drill down in the

 expanding the results until you reach it.

It can be.

Taking your last example:

IF (SELECT checkProjected FROM tbl_Params WHERE siteID = 1) = 1
select projected from tbl_stockItems where projected  10
else
select projected from tbl_stockItems where projected 10


This can be written as:

select projected from tbl_stockItems
where
(
  (SELECT checkProjected FROM tbl_Params WHERE siteID = 1) = 1 AND
projected  10
)
OR
(
  (SELECT checkProjected FROM tbl_Params WHERE siteID = 1)  1 AND
projected  10
)

Since the subquery clause can only be true for one of the AND clauses,
only one set of results will be returned.

Re: GeoTrust SSL importing cert to server store doesn't help

2011-04-12 Thread James Holmes

Yes. Vist the URL for the test site in your browser and view the cert
details. Go to the certification path and you'll see it's a chained
cert with two CAs in the path. You need to export both of them from
your browser and then bring both into the CA keystore with keytool.

Re: GeoTrust SSL importing cert to server store doesn't help

2011-04-12 Thread James Holmes

Just the two CAs from Geotrust will be fine. The intermediate cert was
issued in 2010, so it's very likely that it's not in your CA store.

 Yes.  Is that a yes because its a new fancy certificate, or I need all the

 When I look at the hierarchy, there are 3 each with different serials.

 Do I need just the two geotrust ones, or the securepay one too?

Re: coldfusion service stop rsponding or CPU goes up tp 100%

2011-03-22 Thread James Holmes

Your perm size is way too small for a heap of 4GB (assuming you use a
good portion of that heap).

Check the logs for error messages just before the service locks up and
you'll probably see out of memory errors. If so, make the perm size
larger.

 The reason of my asking in CF was if it was relatively easy to do I

 do it in VB then this would be a more scaleable and supported path

 Why not store two fields; one for feet and one for inches. That seems
 like the easiest way to do it other than just use one float for both.
 The decimal issue is probably more a database issue than a CF issue.

You can access the administrator for a particular instance using the

correct prefix for the instance you want.

Re: CF8 Administrator's Debugging Options

2011-01-04 Thread James Holmes

Visitors to your production server should never see the raw exception
information, robust or not. Debugging should also be turned off on a
production server.

Create a custom exception handler template that either displays to you
the necessary info based on IP address or alternatively sends to you
via email the relevant info. This way visitors get only what you
decide they should get.

 If the Enable Robust Exception information is disabled and Enable Request

 Is there a way to show the Robust Exception information to only the

 That said, why did you purchase such an old version? The latest

 should be able to use your existing license number to upgrade to CF 9,
 I think, since you do have that. CF 9 is so much better than CFMX 6.1
 in every respect.

Re: CFCs for AJAX

2010-11-16 Thread James Holmes

Create a proxy (or facade) object that you can call via AJAX. In this
object you can access the instantiated objects that are in the session
or application scope. As long as you know that only this one proxy
object accesses those scopes directly (and in fact that's its purpose)
then you won't run into the issues that your coding standards are set
up to avoid.

Re: CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)

2010-10-17 Thread James Holmes

If you're appending text line by line to a memory variable, you're
probably having issues relating to java strings being immutable. If
you're appending to a file each time, that's probably slowing you
down.

Try the loop without writing any strings out and see what the
difference is. If that's fast, try a Java class that buffers string or
file output depending on how you want it to work.

 Dear All,

 I have this algorithm that runs a query or two against a mySQL (5) database 
 on a Win 2003 (64Bit) server.  The code loops over the query; assembles some 
 text and writes it out to a text file line by line.  Fairly simple really.  
 There are lots of records.

 When I code this algorithm and execute in PHP 5 it runs in 7 seconds (give or 
 take);
 When I code and excecute it in CF 8.0.0, it runs in around 74 seconds.

 The PHP code is being executed using cfexecute...

 Now to me this kind of performance degradation/difference between PHP and CF 
 is unintuive, given that PHP is interpreted; whilst CF is 'compiled'; I 
 expected CF to run faster.

 This was not my code to begin with however I have gone over it and checked 
 for all the usual suspects; memory leaks; var variables and the like.
 The CF code is in the form of a cfcomponent, and my execution time 
 observations were taken on the second run to take the compilation phase into 
 account.

 Now I'm aware that CF 8.0.1 fixed some performance issues relating to CFC 
 methods (I think...); but were the issues as severe as I am seeing ?

 Anyway, have others any views to offer on why I am seeing such a severe 
 performance degradation for CF over PHP and suggest any way in which I might 
 tune the CF code/server so that it is more nearly the same or better than the 
 PHP.  Sonme might suggest this is difficult since I have deliberately not 
 posted the code; however I'm thinking that perhaps you might suggest general 
 things I may not have thought of.

 Thanks,
 Bryn

Ah, free as in beer but not free as in speech.

Yeah, I'll stick to FOSS or pay for a commercial license, thanks.

 I went to go take a look at it, and got to the download page...

 Apparently I have to sign an SLA and NDA to download it?

Re: Can't figure out a query to accomplish this...

2010-10-04 Thread James Holmes

Are you using select * to get the records? If so, get rid of that and
name the select columns from p.

select p.area, p.bedrooms, p.bathrooms
from ...
etc

 Spoke (wrote) too soon...

 I'm getting the correct records, but I just realized

 just one field.

 How do I modify the query to return just one field
