RE: Debugging CFMX
I'm utterly perplexed as to how you could possibly have three log entries, unless your server cycled between each one. Did you try shortening the timeout lengths? That way request will just error out, rather than waiting around and putting pressure on CF. Since they only need to be aquired a single time, setting the timeout to 1 be perfectly adequate. > -Original Message- > From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:24 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Debugging CFMX > > Well, I restarted the service to 'test' the new code (after > testing under > no load on the dev server) and the requests again started > stacking up and I > could not get the server to start without adding conditional > code to only > allow my IP through... > > The new code looks like this: > > > > > structKeyExists(application,"app_vars_loaded") /> > > > > > > > > > "lfcomponents.triggers.triggerAction" name = > "application.ComponentInstance.triggerAction"> > > "application.ComponentInstance.lfInsertData"> > > "application.ComponentInstance.lfincrement"> > > "application.ComponentInstance.lfcreatetable"> > > "lfcomponents.lfdescript_string" name = > "application.ComponentInstance.lfdescript_string"> > > > > > > > and now my log shows (see the cflog above): > > "Information","jrpp-0","06/29/04","22:12:24","LOGIFORMSV2","Running > Instantiation of application components" > "Information","jrpp-2","06/29/04","22:12:26","LOGIFORMSV2","Running > Instantiation of application components" > "Information","jrpp-1","06/29/04","22:15:41","LOGIFORMSV2","Running > Instantiation of application components" > > So I guess that did not work...I wonder why... > > Brook > [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Debugging CFMX
Well, I restarted the service to 'test' the new code (after testing under
no load on the dev server) and the requests again started stacking up and I
could not get the server to start without adding conditional code to only
allow my IP through...
The new code looks like this:
structKeyExists(application,"app_vars_loaded") />
"application.ComponentInstance.triggerAction">
"application.ComponentInstance.lfInsertData">
"application.ComponentInstance.lfincrement">
"application.ComponentInstance.lfcreatetable">
"application.ComponentInstance.lfdescript_string">
and now my log shows (see the cflog above):
"Information","jrpp-0","06/29/04","22:12:24","LOGIFORMSV2","Running
Instantiation of application components"
"Information","jrpp-2","06/29/04","22:12:26","LOGIFORMSV2","Running
Instantiation of application components"
"Information","jrpp-1","06/29/04","22:15:41","LOGIFORMSV2","Running
Instantiation of application components"
So I guess that did not work...I wonder why...

RE: Debugging CFMX
You are "mostly" correct. I missed the inner isDefined() with all the
wrapping, so you're right about that. However, since the variable you're
checking isn't the last variable initialized and/or the check isn't within a
CFLOCK, you can potentially get request that proceed past the
initialization, before everything is initialized, undoubtedly causing chaos.
Glad to hear you got it fixed though. Hope I was of some assistance, and
not just a blundering, half-understanding idiot.

RE: Debugging CFMX
Ahh, I think I just figured it out! The flag, is based on an application var that is locked when being created, so the check can't run until that lock finishes which makes it safe. lol Thx Brook [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Notifying Server of Client Side Events
I think Brent's rpc library is overkill these days (ns4?) but maybe you need it. Pengoworks also has an api using an iframe. For new browsers, you can also just load scripts dynamically except in Safari (annoyingly won't act on them), or use httpRequest in Moz/IE Win/Safari. Apple developer has a good recent article on the latter.
I use dynamic scripts now where a small window pops up and loads the page if no dynamic script support, but was thinking to combine methods and use httpRequest but load scripts for IE Mac and Opera. Each method has it's uses and issues. For example, with dynamic scripts, you get back js (i.e., "alert('hi')" will simply run), which can be handy. With httpRequest, you get data, xml, html, whatever.

You can use a variable to create objects. You can't, however, use a variable in the type attribute of CFARGUMENT or the returntype attribute of CFFUNCTION.

Re: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04
John, Just plugging in the ethernet cable is dangerous :) I'm not suggesting creating any client-side code providing any type of description of the database. Basically, I'm just suggesting that CFFORM be combined, slightly, with CFINSERT/CFUPDATE so that on post the CFFORM tag would realize it's posted to itself and invoke the appropriate cfInsert/cfUpdate functionality. I imagine/hope the underpinnings of these two tags (since they've been around awhile) use parameterized queries (cfqueryparam), providing a good layer of data security, and the client-side validation provided by CFFORM would probably be "good enough" for anyone using this functionality. I doubt I'd use it anywhere except on quick app I'd do for personal use only, but ColdFusion has always been about abstracting complex processes for easier use by less, um, hard-core developers, so why not take that to the Nth and simpify data binding? -joe [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Neff To: CF-Talk Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 12:14 PM Subject: RE: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04 What he demoed was the ability to call CFC methods in response to non-HTTP events, such as socket connections, database changes, file changes, etc. The example he showed had CF watching a "drop" folder and he copied a text file to the folder and CF automatically detected that the file was added and ran a CFC method to process the template and import the data into a database. Also related on the "not before seen" list was asynchronous method calls so you can have one request set off a separate cf template call and have things run in parallel.

RE: J2EE SessionID with CFMX6.1 and Applets
The session data exists only in memory on the server side and the client applet has no knowledge of them and no way to directly access them on the server. You could have a cfm page configured to serialize the session parameters and the applet could periodically connect back to the server to this special page in order to view the serialized session data, and then the applet could replicate the session data internally on the client each time. -Steven Erat _ From: Dr ML [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 9:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: J2EE SessionID with CFMX6.1 and Applets Hi everyone! I am having a problem and hopefully someone here can give me a hand. I have an appication running in J2EE, CFMX 6.1. When the user logs in to the system, a series of session values are set. On one of the pages, a java applet runs that uploads a file. I need to share the user's SESSION values with the applet so the system knows what to do with the file and the security measures don't activate. I tried passing URLtoken in the URL that the applet uses, but this fails. I also attempted to put the jsessionID in the URL as index.cfm;jsessionID=1234 None of the approaches that I have used so far work. The Java console shows that that applet is being caught by the security system and isn't seeing any of the user's session values. Can someone please tell me how to pass the session values to an applet? Thanks, Mark [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

I am on the Mac -- but I want the app to run on windows, too. I will need to do some reading & fillding to try the Java suggestions, but I will. IF I can find/access the file with Java, then I guess I will need to read it into a variable so I can serve it with cfcontent. I'd rather just cfcontent the file, but this would be acceptable. Dick leaning towards learning Java -- then I'll really be dangerous!

J2EE SessionID with CFMX6.1 and Applets
Hi everyone! I am having a problem and hopefully someone here can give me a hand. I have an appication running in J2EE, CFMX 6.1. When the user logs in to the system, a series of session values are set. On one of the pages, a java applet runs that uploads a file. I need to share the user's SESSION values with the applet so the system knows what to do with the file and the security measures don't activate. I tried passing URLtoken in the URL that the applet uses, but this fails. I also attempted to put the jsessionID in the URL as index.cfm;jsessionID=1234 None of the approaches that I have used so far work. The Java console shows that that applet is being caught by the security system and isn't seeing any of the user's session values. Can someone please tell me how to pass the session values to an applet? Thanks, Mark - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers!

Re: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04
You can use Jetty's Servlet Container -- Jetty also has a Web Server, but I am not sure that you need that if you aren't responding to HTTP events. Others have suggested that you could a desktop Flash application to provide the GUI and initiate events similar to web service calls. This is probably all speculation until we can get our hands on Blackstone.

Re: E-mail Marketing/Tracking Software
There are interesting things in the marketing world - although I personally know very little about it (not being a marketing major or anything). First off, there is such a thing called "Push marketing" and another thing called "Pull Marketing". The kind of marketing where you see a message that say something like "Click here for more information on a product that could help you do such and such." - that would be "pull" marketing. If you see a message that has all or most of the sales pitch right in front of you (eg: your HTML email example), that would be known as push marketing. Clearly, push marketing is typically more effective because it requires less action on the part of the customer - so that's what spammers have typically gone for. There are email systems out there that use pull marketing methods - and work well (under their given conditions) for outlook users in the situation you describe. They're out there. You just have to look. =) -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Burns, John D wrote: > Won't be very successfuly if it is written.

Re: Duplicate inserts
Thanks 2 birds with one stone and unfortunately a troll hides behind them what a headache ok so theres this wintertree spell checking script on this site that I'm working on. it requires the onsubmitbt() script that changes the action of the form and then submits the form. this script is run on every submit button of the page so it explains both the locking and the double inserts. so I take it out. . . bad move it turns out as the spellchecking feature alters the action of the form to popup a spellchecking asp page (that I can't access unfortunately). so I rewrite the script to not submit the form and put it back on the submit buttons. I think this is working (a few tests prove it's ok) yet another monster lurks however.

RE: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04
This sounds like it could be dangerous though. If there was some sort of code generated on the client side that could pass directly to some kind of "auto-input" to a database, it seems like someone could spoof the client and do some damage to your server or something. I wouldn't like putting any kind of controls on the client side of things, especially passing any kind of information about my database that would be passed to the next page for an "auto-insert". Plus, I usually like to do some kind of validation before anything goes into the database.

RE: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04
Correct, CF runs on top of a J2EE server (whether integrated or not), and that does not change. Gateways allow for all sorts of events (perhaps not HTTP originated events) to trigger ColdFusion processing, and gateways allow CF to return data to "clients" other than the web browser. The underlying Java server is still needed. And sure, you could indeed have an app that never interacted with a web server or browser, if you so needed. --- Ben _ From: Samuel Neff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 3:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04 That wasn't it at all... it was that CF can respond to events other than HTTP events.

RE: Debugging CFMX
Your lock will still cause every request that comes in before the first
request finishes to recreate all the application-scope CFCs, because the
conditional is _outside_ the CFLOCK tag. In other words, request 1 will
come in, do the conditional, do the lock, do the initialization. Request 2
will come in, do the conditional, wait for the lock, get it, do the
initialization. Repeat for as many requests as come in before the first one
finishes.
If you move the conditional inside the CFLOCK tag, you'll solve that
problem. However, then you'll force every request to get that lock, which
is bad. To solve both problems, use a dual-lock, dual-conditional setup.
Here's how we do it:
"app_vars_loaded") />
The first CFLOCK is read-only, so it won't generate any contention on
requests after the first, and sets a local variable about whether
initialization is needed. The first conditional skips initialization if
it's not needed. The second CFLOCK single threads access to the
initialization code. The second conditional checks to see if initialization
is still needed, now that this request is the ONLY request that could
possibly influence the outcome of that decision. That's the part you're
missing, which is allowing multiple requests to initialize the application,
thereby slowing it down.
I'm also using a dedicated variable for indicating whether the application
is loaded or not, rather than one of the actual application variables. I'd
recommend that, just for clarity's sake.
A side benefit of this, is that if you never write to any of the application
variables that you set in the initialization block, you never have to lock
any of the reads anywhere in the application. Keep in mind that instance
variables of application-scoped CFCs are actually application-scope
variables, so they count. However, if access to the instance variables is
synchronized inside the CFC using instance-specific named locks (a good
idea), then you needn't worry about them

RE: Debugging CFMX
Thanks for the feedback Barneyb, I appreciate it. I'm having massive trouble getting this app to start-up under load. I have already de-selected the save class files option because there were LOTS of class files, and I think this helped a bit. There is definitely something fishy going on, but I am not sure where it is exactly. My application contains two parts, they share an application.cfm file, but within that application.cfm file there are two different cfapplication tags. The main application is all pages other than a single cfm page that is used to handle 'external' requests. So, in pseudo code, the application.cfm does this: clientmanagement="yes" clientstorage="logiforms_clientvars"> The reason I am pointing this out, is because one of the applications, the site logiformsV2, starts up much more smoothly than the external request handling site (which essentially handles form submissions) which can hang forever... If we focus on the 'problem' app, the initialization code in the application.cfm looks like this: (attributes.refreshnow)> "lfcomponents.triggers.triggerAction" name = "application.ComponentInstance.triggerAction"> = "application.ComponentInstance.lfInsertData"> "application.ComponentInstance.lfincrement"> "application.ComponentInstance.lfcreatetable"> name = "application.ComponentInstance.lfdescript_string"> Now, my startup log file only contains one line, which I guess indicates that this is working, and only being run by one thread. "Information","jrpp-18","06/29/04","12:20:49","LOGIFORMSV2_EXTERNAL","Running Instantiation of external application components" But, for whatever reason, this app still has a hell of a time starting up. Sometimes the thread count will grow and grow and the processor will sit at 0! If I set the server's timeout to 20 seconds, that seems to help get the server started, about 10 threads will timeout, but then the server will get started. The threads that timeout are usually, cfquery,cfmail and cfloops in various places. The really strange thing is that, on the first run, if I look at the template execution stack and look for what took so bloody long, there is usually always one template that took a really long time. But this changes from time to time, and if I manually exclude that template from the startup sequence, another template (unrelated) becomes the long running template Anyways, I got some serious problems, and If I don't fix em, I ain't going to Mexico this summer! lol I wish there was a way to get a more detailed look at what the server is doing internally while it was starting up, like what templates/code it is hanging on etc...

RE: Debugging CFMX
Do you have a lot of application variables/CFC instances that you're setting up on the first reqeust to the application? Make sure that you're locking them correctly, effectively single threading requests until the first request has finished initializing everything. That's has the side effect of piling up all kinds of requests on the server that are just waiting for the initialization to commence, and then when the first request finishes, they'll all be released to do their tasks. You could use a short timeout on the CFLOCK tag that prevents multiple requests from initializing the app vars, catch the exception, and abort the request at that point. That'd make sure that no requests were stacking up, but at the expense of not servicing requests until the app is up and running. Also, you might consider switching the "save class files" setting in the CF admin. If you've got a huge number of files, it's probably faster to leave it unchecked (scanning huge directories is expensive), but if you have a smaller number, it'll be faster with it checked, because CF won't have to recompile everything when it starts.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java ytecode
It really depends on what you're doing. For the vast majority of cases,the performance different in cf vs java is not significant, but in some cases it is. I re-wrote one snippet of code from cfml to jsp and reduced processing time from ~20 seconds to under 100 milliseconds. This particular snippet looped through a large string processing each character. Large loops like this are significantly faster in Java. The advantage of CF is you can use CF for most things and when you have something that is processor intensive you can use Java, either a class in the classpath, javabean, ejb, or even a jsp page (I like to use jsp pages since it simplifies deployment).

cfMail senior moment - including grouped query results
Sorry to burden the list with my stupid question, but my brain is withholding CF knowledge from me today. I'm trying to send a single message to a single address that contains a "grouped Query". I want to send a list of items grouped by individual. When I use inside the tags I get an error. If I add query="my query" and group="personName" to the cfmail tag it sends multiple messages broken by the personname. I only want to send a single e-mail message that contains the output of a grouped query, what am I missing? Thanks. -Nate Nathan Smith McKee, Voorhees & Sease, P.L.C.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java ytecode
I don't think so. That was my original point: who cares how efficient CF's generated Java is? If you're very concerned about performance, you might consider switching to another platform, but I'm pretty confident that you can get good enough performance out of CF if you handle your DB interactions efficiently, and cache data appropriately. Here's a REMARKABLY contrived example, but it illustrates the point. Say JSP is 20% faster than CF. That's pulled from a hat, by the way. You've got a CF request that's 500ms to execute. 200 is DB queries (same for both platforms, basically), so 300ms of actual processing. JSP will give you 240ms, a 12% overall savings. Now we optimise the queries so that 200ms drops down to 120ms. That'll drop the overall request time by 16% for CF and 18% on JSP. Now lets cache. We get to cut out some queries (probably not all of them though), so we'll have a optimized DB time of say 20ms. We also get to do some caching of generated content, so we can trim that processing time down to say 50ms, for a total of 70ms on CF. Now the 20% JSP improvement (pulled from a hat, I remind you), is really only worth 10ms per request. So optimizing the DB and caching gives a 84% reduction in request time. If you add the 20% improvement you'd get from converting to JSP, you'll bump it up a whopping 4% to a 88% reduction. Not very good ROI, in my book.

RE: verity error help
Hi Doug, This seems to be a somewhat common Verity error, outside of ColdFusion even: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Error+%23+-2%22++Error+E3-0005 &num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&filter=0 Maybe you could try my custom tag CF_MKVDK to generate a verity mkvdk log file. The log might have more information with details since there is a highly verbose logging option built into mkvdk, and ColdFusion normally doesn't make use of that option. Description: http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?data=""> Custom Tag and pre-made test files to index: http://www.talkingtree.com/downloads/index.cfm?item=mkvdk%5Fgood%5Ftest%2Ezi p t.zip> Custom Tag with caller demo: http://www.talkingtree.com/downloads/index.cfm?item=mkvdk%2Ezip Also, the custom tag will write a bulk file and shell script to the /tmp directory. You can run the shell script manually from the command line to run mkvdk outside of ColdFusion to see if you get the same error message or not. If this is a "custom" collection built from a query then my tag won't help. Its only for file based collections.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java ytecode
ahhh, but is it a significant difference? -Original Message- From: Barney Boisvert Date: 6/29/04 12:44 pm To: CF-Talk Subj: RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java ytecode I don't know by how much, but it'll definitely be slower than a comparable Servlet, and likely slower than a comparable JSP page. The actual time difference would greatly depend on the specific setup you're using. Nothing against the language, that's just the tradeoff you make for the extra niceties that CF provides. The reason is greatly due to scoping of variables. CF is typeless, but Java isn't. Thus if you're using actual Java (JSP, Servlets), you the runtime engine doesn't have to go through an AMAZING about of hoops to get a variable that you can interact with. I'd love to see CF grow an option to use strong typing, but I don't know how much of a pipe dream that is. Just to be clear, I'm not saying CF doesn't have suitable performance for building web applications. Much the contrary. It does an amazing job at still running fast, even though it does a huge amount of work behind the scenes to make things easier on the developer. It's just not the fastest you're going to find.

Those are called shortcuts, and they're not really the same as a symbolic link. They're simply files that contain information about other files, and when the user interacts with them in certain ways, they trigger some action (typically, the execution of some program).

I'm having an issue with duplicate records being created on a single insert (at least on the debugging side) does anybody know of any issues regarding this. Its not the first time I've seen it.

Re: Create Links Symlinks with CFMX/Java
kind of a long story ... I have lots of files buried in the file structure of the OS (Mac OS X). They consist of audio tracks, images and movies. All of these (and the file structure) are maintained by Apple-supplied iLife programs (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc.) The file names/directory names can contain any valid characters except colon; This naming flexibility gives CFFile fits -- especially names that contain an ampersand (&) I don't want to interfere with directory structure, I just want to provide an alternate, CF-acceptable path to the files. PHP provides a native capability (non-windows) to create links and symlinks -- I am surprised that Java doesn't have the equivalent. BTW, doesn't windows provide a "Alias" or pseudo-file capability -- like those little things on the desktop that represent an application contained elsewhere in the file system.

Re: first time array
Frank, Yep, you're going down the right track - that'd pretty much copy elements out of someCollection into your books structure. An example pulling the "books" from a database: SELECT isbn, author, title FROM books -joe [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode
Absolutely. As long as you've got a server running the CF app, and you're connected to the internet. And since it's a single server running the app, you have to deal with lots of extra headaches that don't manifest themselves if you're all client-side. For example, user preferences client side could be an INI file, but server side, you'd need to have users log in to be able to recall their prefs from a DB. I'm not saying that client-side CF is necessarily a clever thing, but it would open up some interesting stuff.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java ytecode
I don't know by how much, but it'll definitely be slower than a comparable Servlet, and likely slower than a comparable JSP page. The actual time difference would greatly depend on the specific setup you're using. Nothing against the language, that's just the tradeoff you make for the extra niceties that CF provides. The reason is greatly due to scoping of variables. CF is typeless, but Java isn't. Thus if you're using actual Java (JSP, Servlets), you the runtime engine doesn't have to go through an AMAZING about of hoops to get a variable that you can interact with. I'd love to see CF grow an option to use strong typing, but I don't know how much of a pipe dream that is. Just to be clear, I'm not saying CF doesn't have suitable performance for building web applications. Much the contrary. It does an amazing job at still running fast, even though it does a huge amount of work behind the scenes to make things easier on the developer. It's just not the fastest you're going to find.

RE: Raymond's Blog for Bluedragon
But without fairly tight integration into the system (as FarCry does), it's not very useful for dynamic pages such as blog entries. Not to say that integrating it would be difficult, but I'd imagine that switching to ints over UUIDs would be a simpler task, and make installation and setup easier (no need to go add the classes, or change web.xml).
