If you're not in active development, turn on trusted cache. That and precompile the classes and you won't actually even need the CFM source at runtime. You can't copy the class files though--they're compiled with machine specific info in them. You can use the precompiler even when not using the

RE: CFMX Compiled Code and Remote Source

2003-01-20 Thread Samuel Neff
The precompiler is basically just calling CFMX's compile command and specifying a directory to compile. You can pre-compile CFM's even when there is no web server connected and even when CFMX isn't running. I've run it on two of my servers with IIS. Sam > -Original Message- > From: Mar

Don't give anyone a direct link to the secured content but instead generate a unique serial number and give them a link to a handler with the serial number. getContent.cfm?serial=91080981 And then let people download with each serial number only once. If they go to the url a second time, display

Shawn, I was just about to say "nice catch" when I noticed you're from the company running StubHub. Still very kewl that you have a supported MS site running CF, even though it may not be a completely MS official site (about as close as you can get though). Since you are from the site host, can

Nfaq.com is using a mix of html and asp. Maybe it used to be CF or maybe some buried pages are CF, but everything accessible from the home page appears to be ASP or HTML. But I don't see how they're related to MS anyways... Sam -Original Message- From: Corrine Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PRO

Re: Looking into the Java Classes

Ben Forta has a series of articles in the upcoming CFDJ mag about using the Java classes. Should be good reading. You can also use CFDUMP to view the object methods, but I think that is less detailed than the mechanisms already discussed. HTH, Sam

CFMX 6.1 still uses the Apache libraries because some of the J2EE versions stll use a 1.3 JVM. If you look in your lib directory you'll still see "jakarta-oro-2.0.6.jar" which is the Apache Jakarta ORO RegExp library. HTH, Sam -- Blog:  http://www.rew

It'll be 7-10 years before you can consider using this for any real application.  It requires the avalon sub-system which means we're talking 2006, and will only work for longhorne users, which means a very limited user base for a long time (how many people still use windows 98?). Also, a lot can
