RE: FB4 catching fusebox exceptions
B, your on fire tonight, thanks for all the insight. :-) The point is that I am accustomed to using cftry/cfcatch around potential problematic code; so wrapping the entire index with cftry rose a flag for me as to what the downsides might be? Right now it is a necessary evil, but 4.1 will hopefully rectify the issue. I am not even going to comment on the importance of planning/design/architecture because that is a 'gimme' and I always take performance into consideration while planning, that's a good thing.

RE: FB4 catching fusebox exceptions
I'm going to speak for John (since I agree with him), that it was intentionally removed from FB4, because it's a Bad Thing (tm). The non-runtime nature of FB4 is a good thing for a couple reasons: 1) it provides some primitive types of compile-time checking. 2) it forces you to clearly define the tasks (external or internal) that make up the application's flow 2a) it utterly prevents such hackery as modifying the fusebox.fuseaction variable inside the request, as was possible in FB3, and was never useful for anything more than a crutch to avoid more complete planning and better design (which isn't to say I'm not guilty ;) Dynamic fuseactions (including the default fuseaction concept) go against both those idea, for very small gain. The only benefit I can think of is that you can change the fuseaction name within the circuit that is the default, without having to change any external links of XFAs. You can accomplish that by picking a fuseaction name that has "specialness", such as 'default', which is NEVER used for an actual fuseaction, but rather resides at the top of your circuit and simple does a DO on whatever fuseaction you deem to be the default. If you're looking for backwards compatibilty, you can do that as well, in your index.cfm file. When a compound fuseaction comes in with a zero-length fuseaction name, set it to that same "special" fuseaction name, and away you go.

Re: isDefined(collection)?
Just because I perfer not to rely on CFTRY/CFCATCH, here are some options: 1. Do a DirectoryExists() to see if the collection name exists as a directory whereever you keep your collections. All collections get a new dir that holds all it's data. 2. Do a registry call (CF 5) or an XML file call (CFMX) to read the admin settings for the collections. 3. Use the factory object to access a list of all collections. This is the best, but last resort as the factory object is not supported outside the admin and is a major security risk. Hello all, I would like to create a collection if it is not already defined. How can I do that? i.e. thanx - Frank --- The Preceeding Email Has Been Scanned and Verified By QBOS Security Systems --- QBOS, Inc. 14275 Midway Rd.

RE: FB4 catching fusebox exceptions
Despite what people have said, FB4 is unable to catch exceptions arising from invalid circuits or fuseactions. This makes sense when you think about it, if you know how things work internally. A sample request goes like this (roughly): - Application.cfm runs - index.cfm runs and includes the runtime - the runtime does some preprocessing - the runtime calls the loader to load the XML files, if needed - the runtime passes the circuit and fuseaction name to the parser to build the parse file, if needed, and saves it to the 'parsed' directory - the runtime executes the parse file - the runtime returns to index.cfm - OnRequestEnd.cfm runs You can probably see the issue. The runtime needs to know the circuit and fuseaction to hand to the parser to generate the parse file. If it doesn't have valid info, it pukes, and generates the exception you included. Your processError plugin is rolled into the parse file, so it can only execute during actual request execution, which is far to late to catch invalid circuit and fuseaction exceptions. If you need to catch this type of exception (and you should), you have to do it with a CFTRY..CFCATCH in your index.cfm, or via a CFERROR tag, either in index.cfm or Application.cfm.

FB4 catching fusebox exceptions

In that file I have: When I put in an invalid fuseaction in the URL it should get caught and the cfcatch structure should dump to the screen but instead I get the standard CF error page (below): "You specified a Fuseaction of junkVal which is not defined in Circuit main.

ODBC Socket connection to Oracle database server.
Can anybody suggest where else I can troubleshoot this problem. I can not get an ODBC socket DSN set up to our Oracle databases on one server from my local development box. 1) The ODBC socket DSN connections on my box to our other Oracle Servers work just fine. 2) Testing of the service in question in the Oracle Net8 Assistant tool works correctly. 3) The ODBC DSN configuration in MS ODBC Data Source Administration works correctly, I can link to tables in the these databases with Access from my box using the MS ODBC DSN. But when I try to set up the DSN on my CF Administrator it fails telling me to check my user name, password, URL, and other connectivity info. Well I have checked and rechecked all that as many ways as I can figure out how to, but I can not find the problem. The problem does seem to be something specific to this one Oracle server and my local box. There are two databases on that server and I can not connect to either one of them. But I can connect to any database on our other Oracle servers just fine. As well as all these DSN's work just fine on our staging server between all the Oracle servers As far as I can tell all the connectivity information is the same between the staging box and my local box.

I have 2 specific questions that I'd like to see if I can get a little bit of help with. 1) In IIS, I'm choosing custom paths for each sites logs to be stored in. My question is if there's any way to have IIS store the logs directly in the directory I choose as opposed to /W3SVC##. I want to automate some other stuff based on this location and that is screwing me up. Any suggestions would be great. 2) Along the same lines (and this may partially solve my first problem), I'm trying to create a new site from a file. I was thinking I could create a site with the generic setup that I use across all of my sites and use CF to automatically edit the specifics of the site (host headers, path for logs, home directory, etc), but as far as the unique identifier for the site goes, is that just up to me to keep that unique or is the a larger purpose for that which needs to be handled by IIS? I know the second question is more along the lines of a typical "how do I automate IIS" but any specific answers toward my questions would be helpful.

Re: Queries Queries Queies
First, move the distance calculation into a UDF. That already goes a long way to clean up your code: Distance(fromLat, fromLon, toLat, toLon) UDF: SQR(((69 * ($3 - $1))*(69 * ($3 - $1))) + ((69 * ($4 - $2))*(69 * ($4 - $2 Obviously you need to tailor this to whatever SQL dialect your database uses. Then just join everything together: Select DISTINCT z.zip as returnZip, z.city, z.state, Distance(#getZip.laitude#, #getZip.longitude#, z.longitude, z.latitude) AS Distance, d.* FROM zipcode_data z INNER JOIN dealers d ON (d.Zip=z.zip AND d.AudLoc='str' OR left(dealers.Zip, LeftVar)=z.retrunZip AND d.AudLoc = 'bsw') WHERE (latitude BETWEEN #Val(Val(getZip.latitude) - deg_latitude)# AND #Val(Val(getZip.latitude) + deg_latitude)#) AND (longitude BETWEEN #Val(Val(getZip.longitude)-deg_longitude)# AND #Val(Val(getZip.longitude)+deg_longitude)#) AND Distance(#getZip.laitude#, #getZip.longitude#, longitude, latitude) <= #Replace(radius,",","","all")# You just need to fix the Left() in the join condition to whatever your database uses and add the appropriate cfqueryparam calls. The size of everything that is in the WHERE and SELECT might make this intimidating at first, but if you start out with building the FROM, then the WHERE and then the SELECT it really isn't that bad.

Oracle - Incorrect Number of Arguments or Type
CFMX 6 - Oracle 8.173 CFMX 6.1 - Oracle 8.173 After performing a security lockdown on the Oracle server, namely removing DBA from the role which access the package, CF cannot call store procedures which return a result set. The error message claims that there is an incorrect number of arguments or type. What is tricky is that if we reapply DBA, we still get the error. The only way to get it working again is to reapply DBA and then recompile the package. I ran into this problem once before and I believe it was a permission issue. The problem is that the guy who finally fixed it, is no longer employed here and didn't tell any of our dbas what it was.

RE: IIS Automation questions
Dave, I am using IIS 6 on Win2k3. By definition file, do you mean the xml file that is created by IIS when you "save configuration to file"? What do I do for the line where it uses the site number? Can I just create a unique one myself or does IIS have to do that? Can I create sites from that "definition file" programatically through CF without accessing IIS via the Windows GUI or is the GUI my only option?

RE: IIS Automation questions
You should be able to find the info you are looking for here: http://www.iisanswers.com/ What version of IIS are you running; IIS 6 (Windows 2003 server) uses a XML file to hold the IIS meta base C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\metabase.xml. I have not yet tried to see if you can make live changes to this OR not. My first guess is you would have to reset IIS to see any changes. I did some research a while back to see if I could deal with the log folders issue W3SVC, I seem to remember that there way a way of removing the folder names, but as I recall it created more problems for me than it solved. We settled for making a folder with the client's name then putting the W3SVCxxx log folder in inside the client folder.

If you used fusebox, you wouldn't need to worry about whether the variable came through get or post method. The famework copy url and form variables to attributes scoped variables. This also makes it interoperable with cfmodule calls when you call it recursively. If you are not using fusebox, you can write your own structCopy() and copy url and form to attributes or request variables, and put it the application.cfm.

Re: Client wants to add data from spreadsheets - HELP!
I deal a lot with Excel and SQL and routinely use CF for data input and output. I like Excel for data entry because it is so flexible. If you want to get fancy try what I did: write a simple vba function in Excel that creates an xml file. Then write a CF script to upload the data into SQL Server. By doing this you use Excel as a front end. You can create a web front end also or whatever you like.

RE: Jrun Closed Connection : Help
I have been fighting this for sometime now and have now started moving sites off one at a time to see if the problem went with it. The first site I moved was BlueEar.com. BlueEar.com is the largest of our sites and generates the most traffic on my servers. It also has Scheduled Task that runs daily. Some of these tasks create another task. I have an HTML Daily that does an HTTP request to BlueEar.com and writes the content to file then schedules the Send_HTML task using cfschedule. The Send_HTML loops over the few thousand members sending the message and then deletes its self again using cfschedule. When I was on CF5 this had no problems but now apparently CFMX has a bug that when you delete a task with cfschedule it only removes it from the Scheduled Task list but continues to run until you restart the server. In addition to this one there are a few more that work much in the same matter. Each time I restarted it was just a matter of time depending on the traffic and incoming messages to the BlueEar Community. Just a thought but since I did this I haven't seen the error. I am now setting up a low end server running CF5 to handle all scheduled task.

RE: About Scoping mostly url and form
If you use fusebox, it dumps them all in the attributes scope. You can still use the CT formurl2attributes (I think) to do that in the application.cfm.

RE: cfun
One area where I would say CFUN and MAX differentiate is that MAX tends to have mostly beginner and intermediate sessions and CFUN has a broader range. Of course if you're interested in the other stuff (non-CF sessions, Birds of a Feather, Sneak Peaks) then MAX certainly has an advantage. If you're interested in accessiblity, as many in this region are (I'm also just a few miles from the CFUN location) then CFUN has a huge plus with an entire track on accessibility issues.

About Scoping mostly url and form
At the risk of looking not too bright I have a question maybe I can get help, or someone can put me in my place So about scope. when I started coding CF (about 7 years ago) I really didn't know about scope at all, then I started using cgi session application client query struct form url and request scopes. But then I had a massive problems and had to change lots of code especialy when I had forms and urls passing variables to the same page to do the same thing. (mostly I had to write code to dump them all into request scope but I never put together a script to do it, which right now I'm sure I'll find, working with php fusebox form and url vars were dumped into an attributes array easily and I can probably base it on that) One day I just quit on the whole thing and ever since I realy haven't as many problems. What do you folks do when you want a variable that can be passed over form or url? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

CFC Response Delay Bug in ColdFusion 6.1???
I'm currently developing a Flashcom application that interacts with the Coldfusion server. Since we upgraded our CF MX 6.0 server to 6.1 version, i noticed that there's a delay with the CFC response from the Coldfusion to the FlashCom server. When my flashcom's client-side action script calls a CFC component, like to check the username and password in the database, it takes a quite long period before the ColdFusion sends back the needed data to the Flashcom server -- this response delay really affects the performance of my applications. I had no problem before with the CFMX6.0 regarding this CFC calls and I have encountered the same delay issue when i installed it locally and tested my programs. Anyone of you who has also encountered this same problem after upgrading to ColdFusion 6.1??? > [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

SOT: Musings CFAnywhere, Bandwidth, RIAs Part 2
What if my preso of family memories could show a high-quality video/shideshow with sound -- and the user could click on something (say an individual in a group photo of the new years party) and get a hint who she is-- then click again and see their position in the family tree. Say... Hal, Matt or anyone... could use the same techniques to improve the UI of their apps. Hey, that's similar to how you can control a DVD movie in your computer or DVD player. Why can't I have a richer interface?... continued. We certainly have all the tools to be able to *create* this type of preso -- some free, some not. CFML, DBs Flash, HTML/DHTML, What we don't have is *all* the tools to *deliver* this type of preso. Consider this, you can put together a pretty rich preso with CFML Flash and some others ... but the richer the preso, the less accessible it becomes. We know this, it is in the back of our mind, as we develop every web app ... we are limited by bandwidth! The final reel! I don't know about you, but I am guilty of thinking inside the box. What if we remove (or mitigate) the bandwidth restriction? Some of those RRRIA (ReallyReallyRich) 200 meg Flash files would load in a few seconds, Or, we could stream large-size, high-quality audio and video (without expensive streaming software). It would be practical to extend or supplement A/V with control, interaction and background data -- hey with the right setup, we could even dim the lights while the movie plays & bring them back up when it's time for popcorn. Or, how about a preso with picture-in-picture -- See and Hear Hal as he does his thing. (certainly would be harder to plagiarize) Or, your monitor/status reporting app looks like the cockpit display of the latest jet fighter (or video game)! Or, your app gathers/references (rather than uploads) the users photos/movies/audio and helps him create/burn his own "family memories" CDs. Are you with me, so far? OK, how do we remove (or mitigate) the bandwidth restriction? We run on the desktop! That changes everything! Thoughts?
