Building a web service: can you pass in XML or should the arguments be data typed
Hi everyone I'm just checking over some code a developer wrote for me. The project was to build a web service interface to our application. He has programmed the web service component in a way that the methods only require one attribute - an XML packet (he has then defined the required XML packet in a document). I've never seen a web service component built like this. I've always used simple and complex data types as the required arguments for each method. Therefore when you call the WSDL URL you get a proper definition of the web service. Am I right or are both options correct? Here's a sample: cffunction name=getMatchingProducts access=remote output=true returntype=string cfargument name=xmlRequest type=String required=true/ /cffunction I thought it's meant to be like this: cffunction name=getMatchingProducts access=remote output=true returntype=string cfargument name=criteriaA type=String required=true/ cfargument name=criteriaB type=Numeric required=true/ cfargument name=criteriaC type=ComplexType required=true/ /cffunction The way I see it the client who consumes the webservice in whatever technology they use will have a web service decipherer which will convert all complex types into types that will suit them.

cfdocument issue - header / footer cutting off content
Hi I'm using cfdocument format=pdf to create a pdf version of a web page. I'm using cfdocumentitem type=header (as well as the footer) to show the logo, copyright etc. However when the content includes a table and the table wraps over 2 pages the table is being cropped by the header. It's as if when the table content is continued on the next page it is being started at the very top of the page rather than after the header! Does anyone know how to fix this?

CF-Talk Digest email digest change
Hi everyone, Is it just me or does everyone agree that the CF-Talk digest email should NOT repeat the subject names at the top of the email so that it's easy to skim through to see if there is anything of interest? I like the way Google Groups digest comes through where you just get the subject name ONCE and then a number next to it so that you know how many new posts have been made. If you agree than please respond with a vote, and hopefully if we get enough votes perhaps we can persuade the administrator to make the small change. Oh, one last thing; I also vote that the subject name should be a link which you can click on and it goes through to the top of that particular thread.

Re: SQL Select Question
Hi Dennis, This should be very easy: SELECT DISTING imageid, gameid FROMtblX ORDER BY imageid+Rand() LIMIT 6 By the way, the LIMIT 6 is MySQL. You'd need to use TOP 6 in SQL Server. Hope this helps. CHeers Matthew I am having a total mental block with this select query and I am hoping someone might be able to unstick my thought process; I have a table Looking something like this (abbreviated for the list) ImageID GameID ImageID is a unique ID number and there can be multiple images for each GameID. What I am trying to do is create a query where I can select 6 random imageID's each for a different GameID. Or another way, get one image from the many for six different gameID's Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Web Service question
Hi Eric,
I had similar problem when I was first introduced to WS's. I've found that
numerous problems can cause this but the most common cause is that you are not
passing the parameters correctly. With some of the WS I've consumed I found
that I had to pass almost all arguments even if they were empty strings. The
main items you need to pass as empties/Nulls are Array's and Structs.
I notice that you haven't passed the job_id. Even if it is not required try
passing it as .
On top of this you may find that you need to pass a NULL variable rather than a
string. To do this you need to either use the JavaCast(null,) function in
CFSCRIPT or use the omit=yes attribute on the cfinvokeargument tag.
The other thing you may have to do is clear the existing WSDL in CF. So delete
it from the web service list in CFADMIN and you may even find that a server
restart resets everything back to normal and forces CF to go off and get a
clean version of the WSDL.
Sorry I can't be more specific but hope these ideas help.
Cheers
Matthew
I am getting hte following error:

a noobie whe it comes to web services...lst time I did similar stuff was
some WDDX packets many years ago) Any help is greatly appreciated!

Correct locking / cftransaction
Hi guys, I'm trying to find some up to date (MX7) info on how to correctly use CFTRANSACTION when writing to a DB (MySQL).

Re: Correct locking / cftransaction
Hi James, I've just checked and the DB has been create with MyISAM. Am I in trouble? Out of interest: I've just been reading the CF livedocs and it says; serializable: places an exclusive lock on every data table in use for the duration of the transaction. Causes access to the database to be single-threaded and is therefore not recommended for normal database access. So would you still say that SERIALIZABLE is the way to go? I've been trying to encourage the guys to upgrade to SQLsever this will be a good argument!!! By the way: if we did upgrade to SQLserver would I still need to use SERIALIZABLE? Cheers Matthew If this DB defaults to read-committed, that's not always going to yield consistent results. Serializable is the only way to be sure. Of course, with MySQL, this all only applies if the table type is InnoDB, since MyISAM doesn't support transactions at all.

Re: Loading page
Hi,
There is no need for the call to be truly asynchronous. The problem at the
moment is that the call can sometimes take up to 40 seconds so the customer is
not sure that something is happening. I would prefer if when the user hits
submit button on the form I take them to a page that has a loading message
and then forward them on to the result page once the page has loaded.
Someone out there must have a rock solid solution to this! Most of the airlines
have some sort of loading page!
Cheers
Matthew
You can actually use specific AJAX status codes to determine the calls
status (2,3,4... If I remember correctly).
I think you will need to use AJAX if you want true loading status as the
browsers spinning globe etc is supposed to be used to tell the user a
page/request is loading..
Do you need the call to be truly asynchronous (so you can do other things?)

SQL Server 2005 vs MySQL 5?
Hi, I've been working on a website built using MySQL and have been frustraited by it on numerious occasions over the past 8 months. Admittedly we are running v4.1 however because I've got much more experience with SQL Server (and from what I've read it is the better choice) I'm looking for some feedback on MySQL 5 vs SQL Server 2005? Some of my frustrations with MySQL are: - Only 1 query per cfquery - Unable to handle complex join queries e.g. I ran a complex query in a trail version of SQL Server 2000 and it returned in 3 seconds, it took 33 mins in MySQL (this may be becuase we are using a non enterprise version - are there different versions???) - The server grinds to a holt with my complex queries which in turn kills the website. The same thing happens when I try to export a backup of the entire DB. I obviously have to justify the cost of SQL Server however would anyone argue the MySQL 5 enterprise would be better? By the way, I can't really understand the pricing structures of both products. We are only using the DB for the website, so does that mean we only need 1 liecence? If so does that mean I'm correct in saying that MySQL basic would be $595/year, where as SQL Server 2005 (5-Client) would be $1550 outright? Why does MySQL having an ongoing cost? Also, can anyone recommend MySQL Silver? Is the enterprise dashboard really worth it?

Server performance
Hi guys, I am getting random errors from CF along the lines of The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfmail ... the error varies from CFMAIL, CFOUTPUT and CFQUERY tags and different pages. The queries are fine, because they work most of the time and I've run them through a DB client which returns the result set very fast. CFMAIL is fine as well. I think that there is something else going on because it's random, therefore I'm thinking that it's timing out when the server is overloaded. Can anyone suggest how I could find out more precisely why pages are timing out (the pages vary as well)? I guess I need to look at stress testing the server, so where on earth do I start? Also, is there any good resources with suggestion on how the CFADMIN settings can be optimised? At the moment CF is setup to receive 8 simultaneous connections. The server is Windows Server 2003, MySql 4.1, IIS Cheers Matthew ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259243 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Web services / parameter / headache
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately still no luck.
I have investigated and messed around some more and I just can't figure this
one out. If there are any web services experts out there please show yourself!!!
Just to prove that the problem doesn't lie with the producer of the web service
I've tried consuming a simple web service here's the code:
---
cfscript
ws =
CreateObject(webservice,http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php?wsdl;);
NDFDgenResponse =
ws.NDFDgen(JavaCast('double',38.99),JavaCast('double',-77.99),JavaCast('string','time-series'),DateFormat('2004-01-01','mm/dd/
hh:ss'),DateFormat('2010-06-26','mm/dd/ hh:ss'));
/cfscript
cfdump var=#NDFDgenResponse#
---
ANd here's the error:
---
Web service operation NDFDgen with parameters
{38.99,-77.99,time-series,01/01/2004 12:00,06/26/2010 12:00} could not be found.
---
I'm certain that the problem here is how I'm passing in parameters. Weather it
be a complex type or a date or whatever, I'm doing something wrong!
Any ideas... anyone??!?!?!?

Re: Web services / parameter / headache
This is crazy! Someone must have come across this problem before.
I've simplified my question and used a much simplier method from the web
service, here goes!
::: Here's my code :::
cfscript
webservice = CreateObject(webservice,dummy?wsdl);
webservice.doBuildQuoteForItinerary(123456,en_US,,1113);
/cfscript
::: Here's the error :::
Could not perform web service invocation doBuildQuoteForItinerary.
Here is the fault returned when invoking the web service operation:br
preAxisFault faultCode:
{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException faultSubcode:
faultString: com.raileurope.web.ngserver.InternalErrorException:
java.lang.NullPointerException faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:dummy /pre
There must be something wrong with how I'm passing in the parameters. Is it the
null string??!?!?
Any help would be great!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately still no luck.
I have investigated and messed around some more and I just can't
figure this one out. If there are any web services experts out there
please show yourself!!!
Just to prove that the problem doesn't lie with the producer of the
web service I've tried consuming a simple web service here's the
code:
---
cfscript
ws = CreateObject(webservice,http://www.weather.
gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php?wsdl);
NDFDgenResponse = ws.NDFDgen(JavaCast('double',38.99),
JavaCast('double',-77.99),JavaCast('string','time-series'),
DateFormat('2004-01-01','mm/dd/ hh:ss'),DateFormat('2010-06-26',
'mm/dd/ hh:ss'));
/cfscript
cfdump var=#NDFDgenResponse#
---
ANd here's the error:
---
Web service operation NDFDgen with parameters {38.99,-77.99,
time-series,01/01/2004 12:00,06/26/2010 12:00} could not be found.
---
I'm certain that the problem here is how I'm passing in parameters.
Weather it be a complex type or a date or whatever, I'm doing
something wrong!
Any ideas... anyone??!?!?!?

Web services / parameter / headache
I've been on this one a while so any help would be kindly appreciated === QUICK QUESTION === How do I write the 2 lines of Java code below in CF to pass into a web service? --- String[] countriesCovered = null; Attribute[] attributes = null; - === LONG QUESTION === I'm having problems passing parameters into a web service (WS). Here is the latest error: -- :::Error::: Unable to create web service argument class [Ljava.lang.String;. Error: java.lang.InstantiationException: [Ljava.lang.String;. Often this is because the web service defines an iabstract/i complexType as an input to an operation. You must create an actual instance of this type in Java. :::Here's my code::: cfscript webservice = CreateObject(webservice,url?wsdl); countriesCovered.France = JavaCast(string,FR); result = webservice.doSearch(JavaCast(string,123456), JavaCast(null,), JavaCast(null,), countriesCovered, JavaCast(null,)); /cfscript I've tried so many options (it feels like I can see the top of the hill :)) but I just can't get doSearch method to work. FYI: I've had no problems getting strings returned from simple functions (where no input was required) but it's the complex functions which I can't get to work (like this doSearch method). Here's some snippets of the WSDL: -- :::Snippet 1::: wsdl:types schema targetNamespace=soap.ws.web.raileurope.com import namespace=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding// complexType name=ArrayOf_xsd_string complexContent restriction base=soapenc:Array attribute ref=soapenc:arrayType wsdl:arrayType=xsd:string[]/ /restriction /complexContent /complexType complexType name=Attribute sequence element name=name nillable=true type=xsd:string/ element name=value nillable=true type=xsd:string/ /sequence /complexType complexType name=ArrayOfAttribute complexContent restriction base=soapenc:Array attribute ref=soapenc:arrayType wsdl:arrayType=impl:Attribute[]/ /restriction /complexContent /complexType Snippet 2 ::: wsdl:message name=doSearchResponse wsdl:part name=doSearchReturn type=impl:SearchResult/ /wsdl:message wsdl:message name=doSearchRequest wsdl:part name=key type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=locale type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=style type=xsd:string/ wsdl:part name=countriesCovered type=impl:ArrayOf_xsd_string/ wsdl:part name=attributes type=impl:ArrayOfAttribute/ /wsdl:message ::: Snippet 3 ::: wsdl:portType name=Test wsdl:operation name=doSearch parameterOrder=key locale style countriesCovered attributes wsdl:input message=impl:doSearchRequest name=doSearchRequest/ wsdl:output message=impl:doSearchResponse name=doSearchResponse/ /wsdl:operation ::: Snippet 4 ::: wsdl:binding name=TestWebServiceSoapBinding type=impl:Test wsdlsoap:binding style=rpc transport=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http/ wsdl:operation name=doSearch wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=/ wsdl:input name=doSearchRequest wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; namespace=soap.ws.web.raileurope.com use=encoded/ /wsdl:input wsdl:output name=doSearchResponse wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; namespace=soap.ws.web.raileurope.com use=encoded/ /wsdl:output /wsdl:operation I asked the programmer who wrote the WS to send some sample code. :::Here is his Java 5.0 code::: --- String key = null; String locale = null; String[] countriesCovered = null; Attribute[] attributes = null; key = 123456; countriesCovered = new String[1]; countriesCovered[0] = FR; TestService _service = new TestServiceLocator(); Test _ptr = _service.getRailEuropeWebService(); SearchResult result = _ptr.doSearch(key, locale, null, countriesCovered, attributes); --- I've thought about writting a wrapper Java class which I could use from my CF code to call the WS. Is this sensible? My thought was to use the function supplied above and just add an additional function which I would pass in the parameters from CF which would then convert all variables to the correct types and call the WS. I've not actually tested the supplied Java code yet so I'm not even sure it will work. I was hoping to get it working directly from CF. I'm off to find a Java book on WS! :) Hope someone can help!

Re: datatypes, calculations and DB experts
Hmm, very interesting. So are you saying that I should never use floats (if so why are the even a data type)? I've used them in SQL server DBs in the past and never had this problem, is this just down to MySQL? Cheers I have recently found a bizarre situation where numbers are not calculating correctly when the values are stored in FLOAT data types. This is not just a database-related issue - it's found in computer systems in general. Floating point numbers are by definition approximations. This often surprises people. As you suggested, the DECIMAL type is provided by many DBMS to get around exactly this problem. DECIMAL numbers are not approximations. They take up much more space to represent very large or very small numbers and aren't directly supported in hardware, so they are less efficient.

datatypes, calculations and DB experts
MySQL: 4.1.14 CF: version irrelevant I have recently found a bizarre situation where numbers are not calculating correctly when the values are stored in FLOAT data types. The calculation was: 424/0.53 If you type this into any calculator or write it in an SQL query it always returns 800. However I had a DB query returning 800.43185. After some trail and error I thought the cause may be caused by the way the values were stored in the DB i.e. the data types. I duped the column which stored the 0.53 but this time saved it as a DECIMAL (length 10 with 3 decimals) instead of a FLOAT. When I ran the query again (this time from the new column) hey presto it return 800. All I want to discuss here is why the float was doing this. Please advise DB experts.

The IIf function
Hi all,
Am I correct in saying that the IIf function and the cfif tag work
differently on the following scenerio. In the CFIF tag, when the CFIF fails it
will jump over the code which follows until a CFELSEIF, CFELSE or CFIF.
Here's an example:
--
CFIF
The cfif failed so this text is not run. More to the point this code is not
run, cfqueryKILL DATABASE/cfquery
/CFIF
---
Where as with the IIf function, CF will still test that the code for both the
true and false cases will work? This is dumb, because the whole point for an IF
is to check that you will have everything you need to run the code when it
returns true.
:::CFIF eg:::
cfif IsDefined(foo
cfset foo = foo+1
/cfif
:::IIf eg:::
Iif(IsDefined(foo),DE(foo=foo+1),DE('whatever'))
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Verity searching errors
Hi All, I've set up a verity collection on a site that has been working fine up until recently. I got some errors when people typed in search strings with characters such as ()_ I checked some other sites which all have the same problem. Also if you type my search string AND the AND causes an error. I figure the reason for this is that there is nothing to the right of the AND. The same happens for OR Some else must have come across this same problem. Is there any info on all illegal keywords/characters so I can write a keyword cleaner function? Oh and at this point I'd like to avoid having to provide a complex search interface for explicit searching.
