Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
For the benefit of anyone who encounters this posting while scanning the list, I was just informed that Adobe have verified the behaviour I reported and are targeting a hotfix for it. Nice to know that I wasn't misunderstanding something. ~| 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:335846 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
I have only one special mapping for a directory that has some externally provided cfc's called /cfc but to reference those ones, the code prefaces the calls with cfc. In the case I am describing above, I'm just doing the simple thing of looking for a cfc in the same directory as the invoking web page, so I don't believe that any mapping is needed. ~| 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:335464 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
I think that I have isolated it pretty well now ... It can find the CFC if both the invoking web page and the CFC are in the document root (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\) and it can find it if I create a subdirectory from there, e.g., c:\inetpub\wwwroot\real\ and move them both to it. But if I create a virtual directory that points into my website pages and place both modules there then it fails. I went back to my old CF8 system and tested it the same way and satisfied myself that there is no such problem in CF8. So my conclusion is that CF9 is not able to find the CFC when it is in a virtual directory, even though the calling page is in the same virtual directory. I am using a new Windows 7 Professional system which means I am running IIS 7. So I figure that the issue is either a CF9 bug or something that needs to be changed in the IIS 7 setup. (But if I can access the web page, could anything else need to be done to access the CFC?) Any ideas? If I get nothing back I will post this to Adobe and see if they can provide help. ~| 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:335452 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

That is a limitation when it comes to Virtual Directories, it won't work like that.

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
That surprises me. Virtual directories work fine in CF8 and I have been using them like that on my development desktop for several years without a problem. Can you please provide me more information about your statement? Specifically: - what is the limitation? - is it an IIS issue or CF? - did it just happen on CF9? - is there any documentation that explains this limitation? If I can't use virtual directories, what is the approach that others use for testing on a desktop with multiple CF websites? Put all the data on the c: drive in wwwroot? (It seems more logical to me to use virtual directories and keep them with the rest of my files.)

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
What ColdFusion mappings do you have set up on the CF8 and CF9 boxes? That could explain a difference in behavior. If I can't use virtual directories, what is the approach that others use for testing on a desktop with multiple CF websites? Install Apache, set up multiple sites, and use your host file to have a separate domain for each of them. For instance, www.example.com could be devww.example.com on your desktop. ~Brad ~| 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:335460 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
This is a variation of a question I posted a few days ago that didn't get resolved, so please bear with me. It seems simple but I am not getting anywhere with it. I have a test page (TestCFC.cfm) that binds to a CFC (TestCFC2.cfm) that is in the same directory. This used to work on CF8 but it doesn't on CF9. I keep being told that The specified CFC TestCFC2 could not be found. I don't understand why it can't be found because the manual says that for bind expressions, The componentPath value must be a dot-delimited path from the web root or the directory that contains the current page. My calling page contains: cfform cfselect name=oSLevel bind=cfc:TestCFC2.GetRoles() bindonload=true value=m / /cfform The CFC it calls is: cfcomponent !--- Function to populate the Roles drop-down --- cffunction name=GetRoles access=remote returnType=array cfset var result=ArrayNew(2) cfset var i=2 cfset var item= cfset result[1][1]= cfset result[1][2]=-- Select -- cfset result[2][1]=m cfset result[2][2]=person cfreturn result /cffunction /cfcomponent Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

RE: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
In your E-mail you said the component file name was TestCFC2.cfm . Shouldn't that be TestCFC2.cfc? ~Brad Original Message Subject: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
Did you apply the latest update for CF9? That fixes a bug for cfajaxproxy related to this, so it may solve this problem too. -- WSS4CF - WS-Security framework for CF http://wss4cf.riaforge.org/ On 17 July 2010 05:42, John Pullam jpul...@mcleansystems.com wrote: This is a variation of a question I posted a few days ago that didn't get resolved, so please bear with me.

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
OK, several replies ... 1 - Yes, I made that stupid error. After I renamed it to CFC, it worked correctly on the live CF9 system. 2 - Even with that fixed, it fails on my desktop (that was the original problem and I was trying to narrow it down). So when I have the calling page on localhost and the CFC in the same directory, it can't find it. 3 - I just applied the 9.0.1 update (after much grief) and that didn't fix it. So I may have a CF9 bug here ... it can't find the CFC even though it is in the same directory. Any other ideas? ~| 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:335440 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
