RE: FTP client recommendations?

2004-03-04 Thread Jesse Houwing
I've been using FTP Voyager since version 4 and loved it. Tried CuteFTP, 
CrystalFTP, WS_FTP Pro (euwh), FileZilla, but always went back to FTP 
Voyager.

If you need a good free ftp client, go with Filezilla. Free and well built, 
updates often and has a developer who listens to wishes.

It would seem logical to me if they replaced them with flash versions that

Hi all,

Have any of you heard that Macromedia will be dropping CFGrid and other tags
that are applet based (cfslider, cfselect, etc.even CFFORM!) in future
versions?

This was put out by someone in our company telling us that we need to recode
all of our pages to remove these.

Just wanted to get info about it before I fired back an e-mail to this
person.

It would be extremely helpful if people from Macromedia chimed in here.

Subject: Re: Looking for duplicate @ signs

One issue with that is that ListLen() doesn't work too well when the 
delimiter used shows up twice in a row. For example blah@@blah.com would, I 
believe, return ListLen() of 2 - it wouldn't see there being a list entry 
between the @'s.

I've been having this same issue with a project, bogus emails getting past 
validation. I haven't yet fully tested this solution... basically the idea 
is, do a Find() for an @, then do another Find() for an @ from the position 
of the last find, plus 1. If the second Find() returns a value, there's one 
too many @'s.

At 09:13 PM 1/6/2004, you wrote:
How about this? Basically, an email address can be seen as a list using 
the @ as
a delimiter. If the listlen is 2, then it's legal. If not, then it's 
illegal.
How illegal is determined below but a simple CFIF on the listlen() should 
be
enough. I think that's what I do in my spam checker, or used to before I 
parsed
the entire email address into it's component parts. Let me see if I can 
send you
that.

CFSWITCH _expression_=#ListLen(address, '@')#
CFCASE value=1No @, invalid email/CFCASE
CFCASE value=21 @, good email/CFCASE
CFDEFUALTCASEmore than 1 @, very bad email/CFDEFAULTCASE
/CFSWITCH

  Can someone tell me if this should work? I'm trying to look for
  duplicate @ signs in some email addresses. I was using the following
  code but it doesn't seem to work. According to the docs that should find
  2 - 4 occurrences of the @ symbol but it always returns 0 even though I
  know there is at least one email that has multiples.
 
  cfset getDupes = ReFind(@{2,4}, embl_email)
 
  Thanks,
  Ben

Subject: Re: Password Logic

 but you only need the public key for password verification (eg encrypt 
 th
 epassword again and verify the encrypted data). Only selected personel 
 would
 have access to the private key in case anything needs to be decrypted. 
 This
 could also happen from an intranet system that has access to the same
 database.

While you can use a public key to verify a password, you need the 
private key to encrypt the password in the first place.

Actually that is not true.

Imagine the following scenario:

The webserver only has the public key. The user enters his password for the 
first time and the webserver encrypts it using the public key (no problems 
there, only someone with the private key can now read the password). To 
verify the password the webserver only has to re-encrypt the entered string 
and compare the two encrypted strings.

As for decrypting the password, this is not possible on the webserver itself 
(it does not have the private key), but support personel working on a 
different server which does have the private key can always decrypt the 
string if the need should arise.

I have implemented this before, so I know it is possible. You just need to 
pick the right method of encryption.

You can also generate a random string (or a word from a dictionary file) 
asking the user to remember this (and write it down if needed). Then ask for 
that when the user enters his new password. It's easier than coming up with 
something yourself which will be something close to the person in question 
most of the time anyways (like wife's name, first child, the dog etc).

Subject: RE: Password Logic

Mauricio's system is definitely a cut above many others, but as was
pointed out it has a weakness.The email goes to a unique address, but
you can't gaurantee the recipient is the actual user.You need to
authenticate the person and not the address to take this a step further.

I use the same system Mauricio describes, but I add in a hint/answer
supplied by the user.User writes the question out him/herself, and
supplies the case-sensitive answer.In addition to the two password
fields on the change screen, the user has to answer the question
correctly (its up to the user to pick a q/a only they know and can
figure out... Another failure point but I can't see a way to strengthen
it).

When a user requests a new password, the admin gets an email (almost
always worthless, but on one occasion did alert me to a hack attempt).

If a user retries more than X times, I lock them out for the duration of
their session.Keeps out automated attacks and resets itself so the
admin doesn't get bothered too much.

I never send passwords.If a user fails the self-service system then I
tell them to run the change password routine.If they forget their
hint/answer and can be real-world authenticated then I wipe the
hint/answer and then make them change their password via the automated
system, which upon seeing no hint/answer will demand a new one.

The hint is encrypted, the answer is a salted hash.

Salted hash:Do the passwords like that as well.Adding salt prevents
two hashes from being unique no matter what, and kills dictionary
attacks (I still run proposed passwords thru a dictionary filter, just
to be mean).

Google 'salted hash' and read the MSDN Security Brief that should be the
#2 response.In addition to explaining the concept it has some
excellent free word-list dictionary sources in it, in mnay languages.

Re: Password Logic

2004-01-05 Thread Jesse Houwing
 I would not suggest storing your passwords in plain text in the 
 DB.Storing
 them in this manner leaves them vulnerable to anyone who ends up with 
 access
 to that database.You may or may not consider the data in your web app
 important to your user, but most users will attempt to use a password 
 they
 use in alot of other places, possibly including banking or other sites.
 IMHO, it's really part of a programmer's responsibility to the internet
 community to make user information is kept secure, particularly 
 passwords.

 A good alternative to storing passwords in plain text is to hash (MD5) 
 the
 password using hash().You can rehash and compare passwords on login 
 to
 authenticate users, without needing the password stored in plaintext.

Certainly storing hashes is better than passwords. However, you can't 
reverse hashes, which means that if someone forgets their password you 
can't figure it out for them. For some web applications that is a 
problem although I think offering to reset the password provides the 
same benefit, which can be easily done with hashes since you would 
generate the new password for the user.

With the above being said, if you must be able to provide passwords to 
your users if they lose them, then you simply cannot use hashes. Some 
would say that using a form of reversible encryption would be better 
than storing the password in plain-text, but that is not true. Anyone 
who is capable of getting a copy of your database is just as capable of 
getting a copy of your application. And if some has your application 
then they can use it to decrypt the password since that functionality 
is built right in. Which mind you, is why it is equally worthless to 
use reversible encryption on any information in your database anyway 
e.g. credit cards.

You could use encryption with a private and a public key. In the application 
you always re-encrypt the password and compare the encrypted string. And in 
certain cases someone from another system can use the private key to extract 
the password.

This would be the best of both worlds, provided the private key isn't stored 
on the webserver.

Re: Translation please: CFC::CF as ???:ASP

2003-10-24 Thread Jesse Houwing
Dave Watts wrote:

  So, my question is, what do ASP people refer to components as?

 Within a well-designed classic ASP application, business logic is
 separated from ASP scripting by putting it within COM (or COM+ or MTS)
 objects. Classic ASP development best practices recommend the use of COM
 for any significant application logic.

  I'm trying to talk to the ASP guys about using CFC-like
  components so that the client's CF guys can interface with
  them, but the ideas just aren't getting across.

 If the ASP application is using COM objects, you may be able to 
 successfully
 use them from CF, depending on how they're written. But I wouldn't 
 recommend
 using CF to talk to COM objects generally, if you can avoid it.

Since Asp 3.0 there is the possibility to use VBScript's functionality 
to create classes. This is only with the windows script runtime 5.6 and 
higher if I'm not mistaking. This supplies only classes, no inheritance 
or overloading, no access control, but at least some form of 
encapsulating functionality. This ofcourse cannot be shared with 
Coldfusion unless you implement all functionality on both sides or use 
WDDX or XML or any other language to pass parameters around.

It contains a few errors, especially 'forgetting' to mention that a lot of
functionality is available in the standard JAVA API's which van be directly
accessed from coldfusion (Image support in ASP.net is also only available
through teh .Net framework, the same applies to SAX XML support and Threading).

They conclude that ASP.net is more reliable, faster scaling better etc. etc.

It probably means that you once had a file called

then you removed it and created a file called

and when coldfusion tried to compile it it found that another file with an 
almost identical name existed, but as the cases differ it can't (won't)

To sole this you need to remove the cfselect2ecfm2055018563.class file from the

Did you configure the JRun connector as an ISAPI filter, or an ISAPI
extension? The last time I looked at SecureIIS was before CFMX; CF 5 uses an
ISAPI extension to connect to IIS.
  

That's with Jrun as Filter. I haven't tested it as a filter-less version.

Is passing data in the form with the ColdFusion to xml tag a way around that

Do yo use method=GET or method=POST in your form tag?

If you're using GET that may be your problem. Appart from that tools 
like SecureIIS and URLScan can limit the amount of data one can send.

I'll bet it works fine when JRun uses an ISAPI connector, then. Or, you
might want to make sure that the SecureIIS filter is listed above the JRun
filter - and I suspect that if one is listed for the server-wide
configuration, it might be considered higher than one for a specific site.

I tried it above and below the SecureIIS filter, but to no avail. It 
seems that the Jrun connector rewrites the url

/somedirectory/somefile.cfml to 
/JrunScripts/jrun.dll/somedirectory/somefile.cfml

This action is caught by SecureIIS which automatically redirects the 
user to an error page. The fact that removing all folder from SecureIIS 
causes the folderchecking to be skipped is a bug in SecureIIS, but I'm 
glad it's around, because otherwise I couldn't use it together with 
Coldfusion MX

On a related note, does anyone at MM listening in have anything to say about
the preferred configuration of CFMX or JRun with IIS? I don't recall seeing
any documentation about the advantages and disadvantages of ISAPI filters or
extensions. I imagine that if you're using servlets, you'd probably need to
use a filter, but I'm not even sure about that.

Well the default installation adds the filter, so I guess it's the 
preferref one :)

EEye Secure IIS Coldfusion MX

2003-02-26 Thread Jesse Houwing
hey,

I've been testing EEye Secure IIS as a replacement for URLScan. But it's 
giving me all kinds of problems with Coldfusion. The FAQ says that they 
support all versions of coldfusion since SecureIIS 1.03, but I haven't 
gotten it to work properly.

To do get it to work, one has to remove all the folders in the protect 
folder panel and disarm/re-arm secureIIS. This will effectively disable 
the Folder checking that is built into SecureIIS, but will allow the 
jrun connector to work.

I've opened a Support Ticket on this with EEye, but they only said they 
will add the above information to the FAQ (which they haven't).

Another obscure issue I found was that if you anable the 'request 
certificate' option on the advanced directory security tab with 
SecureIIS enabled, you won't be able to open the COldfusion 
Administrator if you just don't select a certificate, as SecureIIS 
blocks your access as soon as you post the form asking for a password. 
It logs a RFC-compliancy issue in the SecureIIS logs. Disabling the 
request-certificate options solves this issue. I've also reported this 
to EEye and the only thing they could come up with is to disbale the 
VerifyRFC option altogether.

Maybe there is something wrong with the way Coldfusion handles 
Certificate requests or something I don't know.

Greetings,

Jesse

taglib file

2003-02-15 Thread Jesse Houwing
Hey,

I found this in the taglib file:
=
Provide access to CFML application scope.  in CF5 and earlier, applications
must have a name.  Neo supports this behavior by prefixing the application
name onto the variable name.  In addition, neo allows you to have an
un-named
application that maps directly to the ServletContext namespace, allowing
sharing of existing variables.

Either way, java can share variables with a legacy cf application by
prepending
the application name onto the servlet context key name.  For example, if a
cf application is called myapp, then in java/jsp you can get
variables like so:

code application.getAttribute(myapp.variableName); ;/code

Defines scoping for a ColdFusion application, enables or disables storing
client variables, and specifies a client variable storage mechanism. By
default,
client variables are disabled. Also, enables session variables and sets
timeouts
for session and application variables. Session and application
variables are
stored in memory.
=

I didn't previously know this, but it seems to be quite handy.
especially the unnamed applications cope which will share variables on
the page (if I read it right).

Seems cool to me :)

ok, so in my application.cfm template i have this variable set:
cfset deadline = createDateTime(2003, 2, 15, 13, 42, 0)

the reason for this is that i need this to manually set the end time of the
auction on all of the pages.
they arent paying enough to make it dynamic and they want each auction to
start and end all at the same time, just a 1 shot deal.
but I figure i should use this for what i need now.

so on the details page i need to basically show how much time is left, just
like Ebay:)

thats where dateDiff comes in, correct?

which should be like such
cfset timeLeft = DateDiff(datepart, date1, date2)

so i was thinking that Now() should go where date1 is
And deadline from the application.cfm should go where date2 is
tony i think you may be right in putting 's' in where datePart is

which now looks like

cfset timeLeft = DateDiff('s', Now(), deadline)

Make that

DateDiff('s', #Now()#, deadline)

or 

DateDiff('s', Now(), deadline)

Re: multiple window.OnLoad functions handled through CF -- CGI.Variables ?

2003-02-07 Thread Jesse Houwing


So - I decided to simplify - and simply set a variable LoadScroll on the 
pages I needed the scroll to load -
cfset LoadScroll = LoadMe
With a simple
cfif LoadScroll EQ LoadMe
script type=text/javascript 
src=http://64.234.202.15/scrollsYes.js;/script
cfelse
script type=text/javascript 
src=http://64.234.202.15/scrollsNo.js;/script
/cfif
  


If you split up the funstions to different files, like


Just create a function called

function init(){
if (scroll()){}
otheronloadfunction1();
otheronloadfunction2();
}

That way scroll only get's called if it exists (this is allowed because 
it's in a if statement).

Now put yout scroll function in a js file like:

scroll.js:
function scroll(){}

and the other onload functions in another js file like:

other.js:
otheronloadfunction1();
otheronloadfunction2();

Now only include the scroll.js into files that need the scroll 
functionality, and add onload=init(); to the body tag of every file.

This should do the trick

Re: MPSB03-02 - Using Windows NT Authentication and Windows file permissions

2003-02-03 Thread Jesse Houwing


Does anyone know how this exploit is exploited? 



No, and I can't replicate it with my current configuration - web server
authentication seems to work fine for me. As I posted in another message, I
suspect it has to do with the JRun connector configuration; I'm using the
ISAPI extension option instead of the ISAPI filter.

If you have the ISAPI filer on, and haven't checked the file exists 
then your username/password are negated, and all requests to .cfm file 
are handled under the Coldfusion MX user context regardless of what you 
enetered.

What context is the CFM template executed under?



The CFM file is always executed within the context of the CF server, no
matter what. Of course, you should limit the privileges of the account in
which CF runs to the extent possible.

Which normally is the Localsystem account, which will grant CFMX all 
access. Running CFMX under a different user isn't as easy as it might 
seem. Just changing the usercontext didn't do the trick here, it 
requires a bunch of registry/ACL changes too.

Is the application.cfm file still executed?



I would assume so. Of course, since I haven't replicated the problem, I
can't say for sure.

Yes it is.

I started getting this error after installing the RAM and changing the

I know there is plenty of memory to allocate the 1664mb. If I change the

only 384mb RAM (it's a development server that only I use) and it's set

RAM to support 512mb to the JVM on that box, so why doesn't it choke
when starting with the JVM setting higher than the amount of RAM on that

The server is at 3rd party host and as much as I would like to toy

out why the CFMX Service errors because I change a setting in
CFAdministrator that shouldn't cause an error in the first place. There
is plenty of memory to support the change and the RAM is fine. I had the
hosting company verify that it was correctly installed and that nothing
else was failing as a result of the upgrade.

One other item to note is that we also added a second processor to the
machine when upgrading the memory ... But it seems unlikely that would
affect the VM heap memory allocation.

Anyone have any clues?

Have you tried a different JVM? Sun's JDK 1.4 or JRockit 7.0?

Maybe they won't error out with such an abundance of memory

Re: SQL Worm

2003-01-26 Thread Jesse Houwing


It would seem that having a local university private subnet would be a 
good solution.. and also this would cut down on people running un-
authorized servers...

On the University Of Twente (The Netherlands) we are allowed to run our 
own servers, and are even encouraged to do so, as there is a lot to 
learn from toying around with the different beasts out there.

On the router side or NAT you could do port translation and make things 
further burried...

In our environments to eliminate this sort of problem, we issue a dual 
IP... the private ip range say 192.168.1.xxx or one of the other 3 
permissible private ranges goes along to the user along with their 
public IP...

Any App server needing to talk to the database must do so on the local 
IP segment otherwise it won't work...

This will work until you have two sql-servers on two locations that need 
to be synchronized. (VPN comes to mind, but not everyone has the money 
or the knowlege to set up such services)

I understand that the approach has complexity issues when dealing with 
fluid usage like your own... The approach does solve a few problems 
when perfected... It makes your databases and other key assets non-
accessible publically... requiring someone login securely to a public 
box to access the private resource...
  

If you can live with those restrictions, it is a good solution, but 
still, if  one of these public boxes wasn't as secure as you thought, 
someone could still break open your complete network. Security is only 
as good as its weakest link.

It is not possible to check it on one page if you include it in the 
application. You can however put the check for the cookie in the 
application. This is because the application gets included in the called 
template all the way at the top, and it does not generate another 
request that gets sent to the client (hence no cookies get set until the 
application *and* the template have fully executed).

Re: (Technote) ColdFusion MX: Known ColdFusion MX Issues

Christian Cantrell wrote:

When I first encountered this issue back in a beta release, I thought  
it was a bug, as well (in fact, I nearly filed it as one), however  
someone explained it to me, and it made sense.  When I saw this thread,  
I couldn't remember what that reason was, so I asked Sean, and he  
reminded me that the purpose is to make your ColdFusion code  
case-insensitive, even on a UNIX platform.  In other words, by  
lowercasing the filenames before looking up the CFC, you call call a  
component Person.cfc or PERSON.CFC or perSON.cFc in your code,  
and person.cfc will always be the name looked up.

It seems strange at first, but it makes sense.  It is essentially an  
attempt to make CF case-insensitive on a case sensitive OS.
  

But when running on windows (with case insensitive file systems) a 
lookup for

application.cfm fails if you named the file Application.cfm eventhough 
the filesystem can't even distinguise (sp?) the two.

Another thing I notices is that you need to use the .cfm extension, 
eventhough I use .cfml for all my other files.

Most smartcard readers can be configured to integrate with the browsers

Re: CFMX App Server Error

2003-01-09 Thread Jesse Houwing
Jeff D. Chastain wrote:

Okay, this is getting really frustrating.  Whenever I start my machine,
the CFMX App Server service is terminating with a 'service-specific
error 2'.  Sometimes if I do a restart on my machine I can get it to
start and work - other times, no joy.

I have uninstalled CFMX and reinstalled it.  I have uninstalled it, IIS,
everything that touches IIS, and reinstalled it all.  I still get the
error.

This is only happening on one box - if I load off of the same CD onto
another box, it works fine.

Any ideas?
  

This is probably because you log in automatically on your system, or at 
leas that was the case with me. I made CFMX dependent on my IISAdmin 
service, and it solved the issue. This delays the startup of CFMX a few 
seconds which seems to do the trick. To do this you must edit your 
registry, you'll need to start regedt32 for this:

HKLM (local Machine) - SYSTEM - CurrentControlset - Services - 
ColdFusion MX Application Server

create a key (type reg_multi_sz) called: DependOnService
and give it the value: IISADMIN

Now restart your machine and try again.

Re: include_once (PHP)

2003-01-08 Thread Jesse Houwing


Yes, not quite as easy as in php though. The logic I've used before goes
something like:

cfparam name=request.included default=false type=boolean

cfif not request.included
   cfinclude template=mytemplate.cfm
   cfset request.included = true
/cfif
  

We used a customtag that is called and that in turn includes the 
requested include.

so like:

cf_include_once template=template.cfm /

and the contents of the cf_include_once customtag:

cfif ThisTag.executeMode is start
cfif not isDefined(request.included)
cfset structnew(included)
cfset request.included = included
/cfif

cfif not StructKeyExists(#attribute.template#)
cfinclude template=#attribute.template# /
/cfif
/cfif

Thsi isn't copy-pasted, but typed right here from what I remember 
(currently ill at home) so it may need some tweaking.

Tested and verified it. There is one small problem though, I found that 
if you include a file into itself the Coldfusion service immidiately 
restarts. This should not happen, but I haven't been able to prevent it.

I think that's because your code would generate an infinite loop. Swap 
the cfinclude and the cfset lines above and that should fix it.

  

Yeah, and coldfusion checks for infinite loops if they're not in a 
conditional statement. But it doesn't protect against this. This is a 
big problem however. These few lines of code could potentionally reset 
any CFMX hosting provider in seconds. I've notified Damon Cooper of the 
issue.

DWMX and mapped drives driving me crazy

2003-01-05 Thread Jesse Houwing
ok,

I have multiple servers that I have to edit content on. They have ICMP 
disabled which makes them bloody slow when accessing directly through 
\\servername\share. So I map the drives, but thsi is still slow as 
dreamweaver wants to scan the contents of all the folders open in the 
folder browser every time it get's the focus. So I created sites for 
each site, which makes access fast again few!

But now the problem. each time I start Dreamweaver it says it can't find 
the root of several sites and I have to click through the pop-ups it 
gives me. This is because I don't have the drives mapped at all times, 
there are just too many drives that way.

So is there an option somewhere I might have missed? Is there a way to 
tell DW not to check the root paths of my sites?

please...

Page context

2003-01-02 Thread Jesse Houwing
Ok, this might sound weird, but I'm thinking of building something I'd 
call a page-context.

The idea is that on certain pages one needs to have a lot a variables 
that you load once, from a database or file and then use pretty often. 
You can manually cache these variables in the application scope, but I 
was looking for something more specific. An example of such data might 
be: a default sort order, l10n texts etc.

So this would work like a normal client or session variable, but these 
variables would be unique for each page (haven't though about includes 
yet, but they may have their own page context too). I'm working on a 
simple system that stores these variables in-memory in either the 
application or the server scope, but I'd rather not use any of those. 
Another option would be to create a java object that can be referenced 
statically to get to these variables (haven't worked that out either).

Then appart from the default page data there might be user specific paga 
date like the users preferred sort order, last 10 entered search 
keywords etc. One could store these in the clientscope or the session 
scope, but then these would be accessible from any other page aswell. So 
in this case there would be a pageSession and a pageClient scope to 
handle these kinds of data.

I haven't worked out the details yet, but I'm open for any ideas, pros, 
cons etc.

since you mentioned locales, the wheels will fly off in an environment where
locales are user (session) based.

But then you can load a struct with a struct of translations for every 
laguage available and a default language. And you could save the 
userlanguage in either hist ClientPageContext or SessionPageContext 
(depending on the fact if it's a known or a guest user).

So this would work like a normal client or session variable, but these

Coldfusion MX and SecureIIS 2

2003-01-01 Thread Jesse Houwing
Hi,

I've been testing Secure IIS on one of our servers. It does mostly the 
samestuff as URLscan from MS, but it's much easier to configure, and has 
a pretty good logging facility.

It was a problem however to get it to work with Coldfusion MX. After a 
lot of playtesting I found out that under the folder tab of each site in 
IIS you need to uncheck the jrun connector entry.

want to use the CGI version.
  

There was a post on the PHP dev-list a week or so ago mentioning that 
they finally triangulated the cause of the last bug in the ISAPI module,

This is included in PHP 4.3.0

Re: Couple of somewhat OT learning questions

2002-12-29 Thread Jesse Houwing


1.  Does 2 CPUs on a Windows 2k server running CF 5 enterprise make more 
sense than adding RAM?   I have a Compaq 1600r server, with 512 megs of 
RAM, and one 500 mhz CPU...

CF would benefit greatly if you add a new CPU, make sure the new CPU has 
exactly the same SSpec as the one already in your server though.
If it would benefit more if you add more ram or another cpu, you should 
check your performance monitor and see if you're using almost your limit 
of CPU cycles or almost all your ram :)

2.  Several prospective clients want someone skilled in PHP and MySQL... 
would there be conflicts running PHP on my server alongside CF?

Nope

3. If I teach myself PHP can I co-mingle  PHP and CF on the same page?

Nope (unless you use apache filters and run one after another (b)).

4.  PHP - cgi version or Server API version?  Pro/con
  

Server AIP, faster, safer and less resource hungry and officially stable 
since PHP 4.3.0 (out today)

HOW-TO Coldfusion on JRockit 7.0 or 8.0 (1.4 edition)

2002-12-20 Thread Jesse Houwing
It took me a while to get Coldfusion MX to run smoothly on a BEA
JRockit. So I thought I'd share how to get this to work with y'all

first, back up your jvm.config in c:\coldfusionmx\runtime\bin\
open the coldfusion administrator and note the min and max memory
settings and additional Classpath settings
install Jrockit 7.0 or 8.0, you can get them from (watch wrapping):

7.0:
http://commerce.bea.com/SoftwareProductDetailWLS?SWName=BEA+WebLogic+JRockitSWVersion=Version+7.0+J2SE+1.4.0SWPlatform=Microsoft+Windows+2000+SP2
8.0:
http://commerce.bea.com/SoftwareProductDetailWLS?SWName=BEA+WebLogic+JRockitSWVersion=8.0+BetaSWPlatform=Microsoft+Windows+2000+SP2

copy the directory c:\jrockit\7.0\1.4.0\jre\bin\jrockit to
c:\jrockit\7.0\1.4.0\jre\bin\server

stop the coldfusion service

open jvm.config in notepad and replace it's contents with the following:

## #
## JRockit JVM 7.0 sp 1 1.4.0
## Note rename C:/JRockit/7.0/1.4.0/jre/bin/jrockit to
## C:/JRockit/8.0/1.4.0/jre/bin/server for JRockit to work.
java.home=C:/JRockit/7.0/1.4.0/jre
java.ext.dirs={jre.home}/lib/ext
java.args=-DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS
java.class.path={application.home}/servers/lib,{application.home}/../lib/cfusion.jar
java.library.path={application.home}/../lib;{application.home}/../lib/_nti40/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international
## #

clear the c:\coldfusionmx\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses directory

start the coldfusion service

open the coldfusion administrator and re-apply the max memory settings
and classpath. You might want to experiment with a new max memory
setting for optimal performance. I just left it on 512 Mb.

restart the coldfusion service

Done!

Note, because you cleared the cfclasses directory first runs of pages
may again be slower, but second and consecutive runs will be much faster
than before, at least in my case.

Jesse

 Where would I point the Classpath?

I posted a JRockit HOW-TO earlier today. This is the info you're looking for:

## #
## JRockit JVM 7.0 sp 1 1.4.0
## Note rename C:/JRockit/7.0/1.4.0/jre/bin/jrockit to

java.library.path={application.home}/../lib;{application.home}/../lib//_nti40/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international

Make sure you add any self-added paths again afterwards.

That is a little strange but I believe you (because you are not the

are seeing but I'm having a conversation with some folks internally 
about this. My experience has been that if the system hits an out of 
memory error and then you stop accessing it for a while, it finishes 
garbage collecting and recovers fairly well (we've load tested CFMX to 
that point and had it recover properly several times). Mind you, 
watching the memory usage on Solaris we *have* seen it hit the high 
water mark at the point of error.
  

If you run Coldfusion on the new JRockit JVM (7.0sp1 1.4 edition) your 
CFMX installation will use a different type of garbage collection, which 
makes it a lot less likely that you'll be running out of memory. And 
it'll be faster too :)

It seems to work when you first install it, it just seems to fail when you

Make CFMX dependent on the IISAdmin service under windows 2000, or on 
another server that does a late start. This fixed ti for me.

To do this you must edit your registry though.

Make sure your permissions allow writing files to the CFIDE directory

clear the cfclasses directory, start cfmx and try again.

Re: CFX_Image - Quality of images not good when rotating

I have a java cfx that does this, but so far it only works with jpg's.
It's very fast though.

I'll gladly post the code on here should you want it. I think if you're
going to use java tags in cf you should at least learn how to compile it
yourself, you may understand how the tag works better that way. So I
wont be sending anyone the actual cfx.

  

Please do put the code up somewhere. Or mail it to me privately. Things 
like these are always a good study object.

Re: ColdFusion practical limits

2002-11-19 Thread Jesse Houwing
 If by simultaneous transactions you truly mean concurrent hits, then 2000
 is a pretty big number. If you mean concurrent users then things relax
 quite a bit, since a user is making requests (page hits) at a pretty slow
 rate.

Just as an example, we had a NT4 IIS static site running with 2800 
concurrent users, and it maxed out just after that with a lot of 
performance tweaks.

It ran stable and quick at about 1800 users.

This is a Dual Pentium III 700 Mhz with 768 Mb memory and only static 
content coming from a striped parity raid.

So if you really want 2000 concurrent users generating quite a lot of 
traffic I'd suspect you'd have to use load balancing.

Re: cfexecute and restarting CF-Service remotely

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi list,
 I want to restart CF on box A from
 box B using CF everytime the service crashes on box A. I tried it with
 cfexecute, running a mapped drive K on box B with the following:
 CFEXECUTE NAME=K:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe ARGUMENTS=K:\cfusion\bin\cycle_new.bat 
Timeout=120
 /CFEXECUTE
 
 In cycle_new.bat I have:
 @ECHO ON
 net stop Cold Fusion Application Server
 net start Cold Fusion Application Server
 @ECHO OFF
 PAUSE
 
 But it is not working due to a cfexecute problem.
 Do you know, if there is another way to do this ?

That would be logical. The moment you try to stop the cf-service the 
batch file is terminated too.

try making two batch files. One with the contents you have above, the 
second with:

start cycle_new.bat

This should start the cycle_new in a new process away from coldfusion, 
so it won't get killed with the rest of it :)

Put them in a div, and attach a stylesheet with media print specified 
in the link tag. in this second stylesheet set display:none and 
visiblility:hidden

That should hide them from print, at least in Netscape 6+ and IE 4+ and O5+

Or did you mean the url at the top and bottom that get added by the 
bropwser, yes I think you meant those :)

well I know they can be switched off in Internet explorer, but I'm not 
sure how it worked, it involved some vbscript. Mozilla won't allow this 
as far as I know.

 HTTP Compression does not support .CFM files by default, it must be modified

Do you ahve any information as to how to do this? I can run the script,

Is your SQL server set up to access databases using windows accounts? 
That doesn't work. You'll need to make a SQL server user, and use that 
for access by coldfusion.

 It didn't work. Is there another classpath for coldfusion somewhere?

You need toe dit the jvm.config file somewhere in your coldfusion dir.

They automatically add the coldfusion parts BEFORE the classpath set up 
in in the Administrator.

I know, and you're right. I didn't want to bash vernon, or anyone

that keep bugging me, and I just love to know what the status on it is. 
sending in 1000 wishforms probably yields to the same results, but I'd 
rather ask these things personally, and over here. Maybe others have
