Re: Is CF slower than Java?
Okay guys - there is a lot of misinformation going on here. To clear up a few things: In a pure apples to apples comparison, yes, Java will most likely be faster. For example, if you do a Fibonacci sequence generator in Java, it will most likely be faster in Java than CF. Reason being that ColdFusion is a dynamic language, whereas Java is static. So ColdFusion has to write a lot more byte code than straight Java will need to. This will be true for any dynamic language that is compiled to bytecode on the JVM, simply because it needs to manage the dynamic nature of the variables and methods that pass through it. So the statement of they are compiled down to bytecode, so they are just as fast is actually incorrect. It's a question of what the bytecode is doing and how much bytecode is the million dollar question. Now - the statement of Cold Fusion is written in JAVA which means, generally, that a ColdFusion program will run slower than a program written directly in JAVA. If speed of the application were the primary consideration, PHP or JAVA is the clear choice.. I say that this is incorrect as well, for a few reasons: 1) As people said, if speed is a primary consideration, write in Assembly. 2) The programming language is 99% time never the bottleneck in the an application. It's usually aspects such as the database. If speed of the application is the primary concern, I'd be far more interested in horizontal scalability. 3) I'm not sure where they get the stats that PHP is faster than anything else? That seems like a weird statement. I'd be curious about the numbers to back it up. Hopefully that clears things up. Mark On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 7:49 AM, wrote: Cold Fusion is written in JAVA which means, generally, that a ColdFusion program will run slower than a program written directly in JAVA. Yet another statement from a guy who doesn't know what he is talking about. Java programs AND CF templates are compiled into Java byte code. CF templates are recompiled only if they have been modified. CF might be longer or even faster to compile than Java, but when they are compiled, they both are just Java byte code and should execute as fast. The only reson CF could be slower would be if the compiler generates less efficient code, and this is yet to be proven. One thing is certain however, a CF application is many times faster to develop than Java! ~| 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:351551 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF Groovy
I quite like Groovy as well - although unfortunately it doesn't look like it really exploded like I think many of us thought it would do. While it has a following, from my research, it seems to have kinda stagnated in it's community growth, in favour of some other JVM based languages. I'm looking at Ruby a lot these days, as it has similar constructs and meta programming models, but a much larger community - and if you run it on JRuby, it has access to both the Java libraries as well as Ruby ones, which is very powerful.

Re: ColdFusion - Long Running Processes - Garbage Collection - structDelete
When doing big batch processing, I will often cfthread and then join the thread back at the end of the loop.

I have tried moving the processing inside of a cffunction and using a similar trick on the local scope. var objOrder = structDelete( local, foo ); structDelete on variables and local do *not work* in *ColdFusion 9*. Another trick, that is less than ideal, and would require re-writing a significant amount of code is to have 2 pages: The 1st page would contain the loop and use cfhttp to call the 2nd page that actually does the processing.

If I commented out the code that initialized the user ID in the session, when I clicked through to the next page, it would throw an error that it didn't exist when it hit a place in the page that used it.

Processing time seems to be about 66 hours for a 45 mb file and thats a disaster. For a 14mb file its about 90 minutes. Whats happening is this: CF is looping over a very large number of records that are in themselves fairly complex. The more records there are, the longer the loop over them takes. More records + more time per record = a seemingly geometric increase in processing time. Are you using MS SQL 2005? Because throwing the XML file directly at SQL server works a 1000% better. I've basically given up on processing large XML files directly with coldfusion. IF you can save these xml files on the SQL server you can make use of BulkInsert but that needs to read the file from that server.

Subject: dbcreate set to update, then errors out
Hi I'm a noobie with CF and ORM. I'm using SQL Server 2008
I have a test CF app, and I have the ormSettings.dbcreate set to
update,
like so:
this.ormSettings = {
datasource = dsn,
dbcreate = update,
schema = dbo,
logsql = true
};
Here's my Account.cfc
component persistent=true {
property name=id column=AccountID generator=identity;
property name=username;
property name=password;
property name=datecreated;
}
Here's my test.cfm, in cfscript:
ormReload()
x = new Account();
x.setUsername(user1);
x.setPassword(pw1);
entitySave(x);
It was working at first, so I decided to delete the database from the SQL
side
(via Management Studio).
So now, when I reload test.cfm, I get this error:
Error in executing the DDL.[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver][SQLServer]Identity column 'AccountID' must be of data type int,
bigint, smallint, tinyint, or decimal or numeric with a scale of 0, and
constrained to be nonnullable.
I tried changing dbcreate to dropcreate, and I get the same error, but
this
new message is there as well:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot drop the table
'dbo.Account', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
How do I get it working again? I tried restarting the service, but that
did not
help. I even recreated the table, and CF dropped it but I still get the
Error in
executing the DDL error.
Thanks!

Re: Choosing between ColdFusion Builder and IntelliJ
Variable completion for me is the huge win. This is the biggest time saver that I have ever had, and the biggest reason I use CFB. Secondly is the integrated debugger. I pull this out when I need to debug some seriously complex code, and it's a g-d send. It's one of those tools that you may not need 90% of the time, but those 10% you do need it, it's awesome. Extensions are very useful. Crazy useful in fact (especially looking at what they have demo'd in CFB2). Being able to right click on a folder/file in an IDE and make your IDE do something is very useful. I've written at least 1 extension that has saved me hours of work. That all being said - CFEclipse is free, both IntelliJ and CFB have trials. Give them all a shot for a few days of development. See which one fits you.

First of all, I would strongly discourage anyone from using the this

of the CFC. �There are a variety of reasons for that recommendation, but
chief among them is the ability to access and change the instance data

Instead, you will want to use the variables scope, and have getX() and
setX() methods to access/change the instance data.
Now then, if you are wanting a struct representing the instance data,
then
you would create a getMemento() method to return that, which would look
something like the following:
public struct function getMemento()
{
� � // duplicate it so the internal data cannot be changed outside of
the
object
� � return duplicate(variables);
}
These are just general guidelines and may/should change based upon your
actual needs.

Re: Millions of Coldfusion sites need to apply patches
While I'm glad that Adobe and Procheckup have worked this out, it shows yet another reason why people should be making sure that their cfadmin is not publicly accessible. Making it only accessible from behind a firewall or vpn should be something is something that I think people should be doing by default.

Re: SOT: Best CF development laptop
Some thoughts to add to the mix. I consistently buy Dell laptops, for a variety of reasons, but primarily for their 3 year, on site support. As a contractor, even a single day downtime is no good. No idea which part of the world you are in, but here in australia, I've called tech support at 3pm and had a tech at my house 9am the next morning to fix my computer. If you can find a brand of laptops that provide multi-year on site support, it's invaluable. On another note - if you want the best performance out of your vms, put them on an external hd, the faster the better, with the fastest connection as well.

A lot of these things really depend on how you plan to use it. If you're getting a desktop replacement, you probably don't care about battery life. If you're not going to watch movies, you don't care about Blu-Ray, etc, etc. When I got my laptop (Dell Studio XPS 13) I had a very specific set of requirements, and that's what guided my purchase. I wanted something no larger than 13 (I have to schlep it around a lot), with at least 8 GB RAM, a SSD drive (fast, doesn't run as hot or use as much battery), and a webcam. There were only about 3 laptops around at the time that met those requirements, and this was the cheapest. In the end I want one that's good quality and doesn't die after one year. Overall I've been very happy with Sony hardware, but their quality all seems to be on the high end - if you buy a really expensive Sony, it'll generally have a noticeably better build quality than their lower-end stuff. That said, I have some Sonys that have been all around the world, had the crap kicked out of them, and still work just fine.

Re: SOT: Best CF development laptop
Maybe I am off base with this one, but the research I did a while back stated that the biggest bottleneck to vm performance was disk io conflicts. I.e. if your vm lives on the same hd as your os and your programs they are all competing to read and write at the same time. Having a separate hd, internal or external solves that problem. (i have an external 7200 rpm firewire drive). I'll have to look up the articles that discussed this. Mark.

Most people have external drives using USB 2, and running VMs from that will be exponentially slower.

Re: Turning off try/catch
I was going to say - this is probably a good place for a tool like Logbox. If you log your errors in your catch statements at one level (say debug level), then when you are working in development you set your log level to 'debug'. When you're in stage or prod, you have it at 'warn' or 'error'. That way you can easily change your reporting, depending on what level you want to know things at. How's that? Mark On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 5:14 AM, Andrew Clarke s...@clarke.ca wrote: You can have errors dumped to the screen in dev, and quietly handled in production, if you keep the try/catch. You probably understood what I was saying earlier, but just in case, I'll reiterate my point. If you call some sort of error handling function inside the cfcatch blocks, you can do whatever you want in that function. For example, you can: - Have errors in production emailed to you, but not errors in dev. - Have errors dumped to the screen when it's your IP, but emailed to you when it's someone else's. - Write errors to an HTML file that you can read even if you don't have access to the filesystem or ColdFusion logs. - Handle different types of errors differently, so that some types of errors can be logged, others passed back to the screen, etc. - Rethrow errors for some people/environments, and not for others. All of this can be done by adding one line to each cfcatch block. There are security implications to some of the suggestions above, so be careful where you log email your errors if they contain potentially sensitive information. - Andrew. On 2010-07-13, at 14:31, Shannon Rhodes wrote: Thanks all, great suggestions. I especially like the find/replace option, since I don't have access to the administrator and log files here. Andrew, this is a dev site that I fully expect to error dozens of times, my main task being clean-up. It costs time and aggravation when these errors are handled so I have to detect the issue as a logical error rather than as a hard error. This is a new site based on an old site where about half the object references are now directed to a new schema, resulting in database errors. So yes, this is an example of a situation where hard errors to the screen are more efficient than gracefully degrading errors and having them quietly sent to admin. I heartily endorse proper use of try/catch in production environments, but dev is a different beast. Is there any global way to turn off try/catch handling? I believe I've heard of this for VB but I don't think I've come across it for CF. My issue is that I'm creating a new version of a site based on an existing codebase, and I have to update the schema references and some other cleanup. It's a lot easier to fix a hard error than to notice/track down logical errors (i.e. did the item I just saved not show up because it wasn't saved or because the query to display is wrong). It's clunky to go around commenting out try/catch blocks. ~| 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:335336 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I am considering serving the files now through cfcontent via HTTP instead of FTP for a couple of reasons. 1) because most Internet Security programs block FTP and we have to help people (mostly kids) open the port and 2) to prevent direct linking to the files because this endeavor is funded by ads on the website (and my wallet). I know the most efficient way to serve this quantity and size of files is via ftp but what I don't know is what is required by the various CF engines AdobeCF, OpenBD, Bluedragon, Ralio to serve up the same via HTTP. Will our new server hardware handle that kind of HTTP file traffic (I suspect so), will OpenBD/Tomcat be up to the task or will I need a different CFML engine? Essentially what I need to know is what it would take to routinely serve that many/size files through the CF engine. I don't want to go down this road and find that people are having problems downloading because the CF engine / Web server can't keep up. Has anyone had experience with this and can you offer some advice? My advice for you would be to avoid using CFCONTENT for this, as it's really not designed for this. Each request using CFCONTENT will use one of your threads, I think, and there are decent alternatives. The alternative I'd recommend would be the use of temporary symlinks. When someone is granted access to a file, you'd create a symlink for that file, pointing to a web-accessible location, then let the user download it via HTTP. Sometime after, you'd delete the symlink. Exactly how long after, I'm not sure - that would be a balance of convenience to the user (in case they don't download it immediately) versus the potential for abuse (the user provides the link to someone else).

Re: CFDocument Slowness (CF8)

Re: Possible switch to CFEclipse
Well, the question here is more - what do you do outside of cfml editing? I tend to download the Eclipse Java EE developer package that has the Eclipse Web Tool Plugins (WTP) installed by default - so that covers some straight HTML, XML and JS files. Some people prefer Aptana studio for that, but they can work side by side easily. If you are looking at doing database querying through Eclipse, you can look at the Eclipe Data Tools Plugins (DTP). This can be a little tricky to set up, and provides decent database support, but a vendor specific client tends to be better - YMMV. The next question is - are you using source control? If so, which one? Each has at least 1 plugin at its disposal depending on what you are doing. Are you doing unit testing? The mxUnit plugin is a must if you are. I could go on, but really it boils down to - what do you want Eclipse to do for you?

Re: Why i fear ColdFusion is on its last legs
* Sigh * You know what. This kind of stuff really upsets me. If you want change - then its time to step up and do something about it. Get involved in your local UGM, start presenting to people, go to local techups, or non-CF conventions or twitter meets. There are SO many avenues out there for intigating change its ridiculous. Being more proactive also allows you to find work through multiple avenues as well as you build relationships with people. I would say almost the majority of contract jobs out there are fulfilled by word of mouth, that I think that Seek is almost a waste of time. The only thing you can control the change of is yourself. You can't control the change in other people.

Re: ColdFusion|JRun CPU and|or memory problem.
First of all - having memory tracking enabled in your production server is going to make it crawl ;o) I would start with thread dumps. You can do this through the monitor (there is a snapshot feature that I believe does this), although setting up a cron job or similar to fire the Java commands neccessary to get it to happen on interval wouldn't be bad. May just be easier to do it when the CPU spikes - I leave it up to you, but grab a few at least. Then use a tool like Thread Dump Analyzer - so you can see what ColdFusion is actually doing under the hood. Once you can see what is actually going on - you should be able to see what is causing the problem.

Try ColdDoc, it works with CF9, although you will have to grab the SVN version (I've been really slack about releasing a new version).

I'm not 100% sure, but if you have the createObject() call straight after the this.mappings[] code it probably won't work.

Re: CFC and jQuery
Just to give you another way of looking at it.
JSON is just a string format, much like WDDX is (although a lot less
verbose). Without parsing, it's still just a string.
The manual way of converting JSON to a JS data struct is by calling eval()
on it - like so:
var data = eval(myJSONString);
And you are good to go.

It looks like you're getting a string back and it never becomes a

object.
If you put dataType:'json' in your ajax params, I believe it will
automatically eval the response for you, which turns the json string
response into a javascript object. You should see this in Firebug as a
clickable green link; when you click it, it should show you the property
values. If it is not clickable, then you have a string rather than an
object.
This is independent of passing returnformat=json to your cfc. That creates
a json string which gets passed back to the client. However you must do
something in javascript to turn the string into an object; either eval'ing
it manually, or use dataType: 'json' which will do it for you.

I am trying to call a query from a CFC using jQuery with the following
code:
$(document).ready(
function () {
$.ajax({
type: GET,
url: SpellChecker.cfc?method=getTextMemoFieldsreturnformat=json
queryformat=column,
data: datastring,
success:
function(response) {
var resp = jQuery.trim(response);
alert(resp);
}
});
});
When I look at the data inside an alert it looks exactly like it should.
However, when I try to get to the values inside of it (e.g. resp.DATA) it
is
always undefined. Do I need to perform an extra step? I appreciate any
advice I can get on this.
Thanks,

Josh,
1. I already am getting the results back in JSON format using the
returnformat=json parameter. I tried $.getJSON without much success (If
you
know of a good CFC example using $.getJSON, I'd be happy to review it). I
cannot even get results back using it, where as with the $.ajax I get
results, I just can't seem to do much with them but print the whole json
object(i.e. document.write) to a page or display the results in an alert
box.
2. I am Firebug and I did verify that DATA is a valid parameter.
Basically
I am returning a db table and putting in JSON format. The code I have
returns the following:
{ROWCOUNT:20,COLUMNS:[SAVEDVALUE],DATA:{SAVEDVALUE:[blah,blah,bla
h]}}
But when I try and access for instance resp.ROWCOUNT, it's undefined. So
basically, I want to know how I can actually get to the values I can only
seem to read.
Thanks,
James

This should mitigate access to things like the ServiceFactory, but still give your users access to the full functionality of Java.

I have what I feel is a solid PDF Form template going,and I can populate the form using cfpdfform. The one issue I am having is trying to get flowable content working. If you have worked with LiveCycle Designer you will know what flowable content is. If you haven't, its the ability to allow users to fill in data in a PDF form and the PDF will expand to fit the content. I have this working (flowable content) in the PDF only when I save it as a Dynamic XML Form. I can add data to my form fields and the document expands as expected. This behavior does not occur when saved as a standard PDF Form. From the limited information i have read, this is by design. When I save the document as a Dynamic XML Form and try to populate it with CF I get the following error: An exception has occurred in the processing of PDF forms. '' Pretty vague. Yes, this is even with debugging enabled :) I can't seem to do anything to populate the Dynamic PDF Form without causing this error. What's odd is that I can read the document just fine. I can populate it manually, and a cfdump shows the data as an XML structure (that's good!). I can also use the same method to populate a standard PDF Form, both using XML and cfpdfformparam. The only thing that isn't working is populating the Dynamic XML Form from CF. Can someone tell me if this is unsupported, or if there is a workaround?

It seems to take an extraordinary amount of time (40+ seconds) to complete 2 of the processes: Starting sql... and user MessageBrokerServlet: init. From my brief tests, it appears that CF is working fine though. Here are the system specs: ColdFusion 8.01 (64-bit, multi-server) Red Hat Linux AS 5.0 (running in a VM) Apache 2.2.9 JDK 1.5.0_16 (we tried JDK 1.6.0_11 too) I've tried changing the JVM the one that ships with CF8 up to 1.6 and down to 1.5 seeing as there are some known issues with 1.6 in a 64-bit environment (although not with the version we tried). Additionally, I've removed all the references to MessageBrokerServlet from web.xml thus preventing that service from even attempting to start. That works fine and reduces the start time dramatically, but I don't think I should have to do that to get this thing to work. I've confirmed that all the software we're using is 64-bit as well. I've also looked in all the logs and have yet to find any errors. My questions: 1. What is the line Starting sql... actually trying to do/what's it used for? I figure if I know that it'll allow me to debug better. 2. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this or figure out the hang up? 3. Could this be port related and how would I determine if it is?

Re: CF-based freelancer time/billing system?

Mark On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 3:44 PM, Mike Kear afpwebwo...@gmail.com wrote: I looked at all kinds of billing systems, and ended up writing my own. I found there was always something missing that i needed - the ability to price a line independently of all the others, or the ability to use a currency other than AUD for example, or be able to send a copy of an invoice where the client alleges he never got it. At least one feature i needed was missing from all the systems i looked at. So I wrote my own. It's not all that difficult. You need a means of putting line items into an account ready to be billed - software sold, hours worked, domain names registered, etc etc. Then you need a separate way to query that account and assemble those line items into an invoice, do the arithmetic calculations, prepare a PDF of your invoice and email it to the client. Then you need to be able to send copies to people who dont pay you because they allege they never received the invoice,Next, you need a way to keep track of who's paid you and who hasnt.And lastly you need to be able to produce reports for tax and other purposes. All involve adding records to a table, and/or querying the table and displaying them in one way or another. There is no fancy processing required or ajax or flex or any of that. (although there are things you can do to make it all slicker and sexier using tools like ajax and flex) but its fairly straightforward from a coldfusion point of view. I have a clients table, a price list table, a recurring charges table (for my hosting accounts and domain name registry - to handle the repeating monthly/quarterly/biannual/annual charges) and an invoices table. Thats it. It took me a day to write and test my invoicing app, and a total of about half a day since then for tweaks and mods i've made At first, i tried to be cute and tie the hours to be billed in my invoicing to a little time counter app i have, but that never worked because i dont always bill exactly the hours i work on a project. For example some projects i record the hours but bill a fixed price. Or if it's maintenance work, some of the work is billable, some isnt. It all got too complicated. So instead i have the time-tracking app (called Trax-Time but it would suit an AIR app perfectly) running separately, and i use the reporting stuff in that to tell me how many hours i've spent on what, then i handle billing separately.It takes me a total of about an hour a month to handle the routine billing tasks. I say all this not to brag, because i dont think its anything to brag about, but to make the point that it's not that hard to get exactly the billing system that suits you rather than have to change your business systems to suit some one else's idea of how your business should run. It's simple and does precisely what i want it to, and no more. And if my business model changes in any way i have the stuff to change my billing system to match the new business model.
