Quick question: Will CF7 work on a 64-bit processor running with a 32-bit OS? I have an AMD Opteron (64-bit) processor and am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3 *in 32 bit mode*. Yesterday, after fighting against it, I discovered that CF will not work on a 64-bit OS: I was having the problem as described on this technote: http://www.macromedia.com/go/baec9c0c (nice that this wasn't highlighted earlier) So the OS was rekicked into 32-bit mode, but now I'm getting the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ./coldfusion-701-lin.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... The included VM could not be extracted. Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy. Yesterday, at least this installed, but wouldn't run. Now, it's not even installing. So, do I need to replace the hardware?

Sean,

Sure, I was just trying to balance out Joe's argument that you need "a
clumsy workaround" for getting AJAX functions to work. I think, like
Jacob's post highlights, if you're using an abtraction layer then you
don't even have to worry about the "workaround".
> You try visiting some of the current "AJaX"-style sites in
> a variety of browsers and see what happens!
Surely that's more to do with the actual site development and testing,
and less to do with the browsers themselves? There seems to be a big
push at the moment (which I disagree with) to get new apps out as fast
as possible and fix them once they're live ("beta" anyone?). If you're
going to develop something, do it well!
> So you advocate building *two* versions of your website?
> And how many sites out there actually do that?
To be honest: not many (see my point about "beta" sites above). But if
you have your application built on a decent base (using
pick-your-own-framework) then all the functionality you need to perform
the non-AJAX requests (hopefully) already exists and can be easily
reused. I know they have slightly bigger resources than the rest of us,
but Google have a static (non-AJAX) HTML version of Gmail available.
> I just don't see it as an "either Flash or 'AJaX'-style stuff"
> issue, I think we'll increasingly see a blend of both. I'm just
> tackling some of the "anti-Flash" sentiments in Tim's email...
I totally agree! I wasn't bashing Flash at all, just trying to show the
other side of the coin like yourself! :) As for seeing an increase in
a blend: we're about to embark on just such a project -- AJAX and Flash
used where appropriate and for what they're good at.

My points were for our development team and at this time. The cost of
Flex has been prohibitive for the apps we've been developing using AJAX,
but that was not the primary reason to develop AJAX solutions instead of
Flex -- in our case an HTML interface was more preferable! Again,

In the case of our AJAX development so far it really hasn't been worth
forking out for a Flex licence, but that's not to say we've not done any
Flex dev: I spent a few months working on a completely Flex based app
and think that it's a fantastic platform. Can't wait for Flex 2! :)

RE: Question: How Much of an Interest is there in AJAX?
> Why the heck should I care of ActiveX is enabled? IE needs ActiveX
for JavaScript to work?
No, but because the current version of IE doesn't support XMLHttpRequest
you have to use something like the following:
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
So, without ActiveX you don't have AJAX support on IE. Microsoft has
stated that IE7 will remove this dependancy, but you're stuck with
ActiveX until then.

RE: Question: How Much of an Interest is there in AJAX?
Joe, > use a clumsy workaround for testing which browser people are on To make sure that all browsers can see Flash you have to use non-standard HTML. Either that or if you really really want your HTML to validate, you can use messy JavaScript to inject the HTML. > hoping ActiveX is enabled on IE That's a moot point: you've got to hope the same thing for Flash, or you won't get that either. > that any new browsing stuff people use supports it True, but the majority of modern browsers correctly implement the appropriate standards. And those that don't *cough*IE*cough* have proven workarounds. And if you build your AJAX application on a suitable abstraction layer (such as Prototype) then you can bet that support will be available sharpish, or you can make the changes yourself. > that they're not on a mobile (hi, Flash Lite!). Now you've got me on that one, but all AJAX implementations should have a fall-back mode for those clients that don't support JavaScript anyway (unless you know that the clients accessing it are controlled, such as on an intranet), and a new stylesheet will see you good. For our team at least, using an AJAX solution to a problem over Flash has a number of advantages (at least for our team): - all code can be source controlled, diff'd and quickly deployed without any need for building [I like the pretty colours on the Trac diff tool ;) ] - CF developers can understand JS and get up to speed with it to allow quick development. Flash authoring is another kettle of fish entirely; - it's much easier for our development team to to make a quick change to a JS file than to get a Flash developer to make the change and make the new build, test and deploy; - We have more CF developers than Flash/ActionScript developers, so any development/maintenance etc is easier/quicker with an AJAX solution. - debugging an AJAX application is a (relatively) simple task if you've just one developer. When you throw in a Flash developer it becomes much more complicated. Yes, you should have unit testing, but it still happens... Of course, these sort of restrictions will be removed once Flex 2 comes out, but at the moment an AJAX solution is preferable to a full Flex licence! And if you can control exactly who's using the site and with what, then even better!

RE: Question: How Much of an Interest is there in AJAX?
> But I'm still not sure of the size of the AJAX community, and how > large an audience we'd be talking for something like an AJAX book... The AJAX community is growing daily, although I feel that term is rather a misnomer. Maybe something like "AJAX factions within the CF community" would be more appropriate? Anyway... As for books: there is already at least one book [1] available, two more [2][3] on pre-order, plus another [4] available as a beta download. There's also some heavy coverage of AJAX in DHTML Utopia [5]. With sites like Gmail, Google Maps and Flickr giving the user a clean, simple interface through the use of AJAX and Web2.0 technology, it's also pushing development of smaller projects. Although I've been using similar methods for a couple of years now, we've just finished deployed the initial version of a JavaScript/ColdFusion combination instant messaging application for a client, which relies heavily on its AJAX implementation. Why go for the AJAX solution? Well, in the past we've usually gone for Flash/FlashCom based IM clients, but as a developer I'd much rather have the whole codebase under my control rather than spreading everything between CF, Flash and ActionScript developers. Sure, I had to bump up my JavaScript a bit, but for anyone with a basic handle of scripting languages it's not *that* challenging. Additionally, we now no longer need a separate FlashCom server and the user doesn't require the Flash plugin. They get a clean, simple interface to use and we get everything nicely in source control :) Until recently, the design and usability of some web-based systems has taken a back seat to the amount of functionality that the developer can pack in. That focus is now swinging, thanks to the Web2.0 movement and companies like 37signals (who developed the increasingly popular Ruby on Rails framework) who have changed this direction and instead give the user the minimum of options, but the ability to perform those actions simply and quickly. You may as well spend time making a regularly used function perfect, instead of concentrating on one function which is "really really important" but in the end never gets used. Anyway, I've realised I'm waffling randomly now, so I'll move on... Tim. [1] "Foundations of AJAX" by Ryan Asleson and Nate T.

I've tried using a number of external programs and had issues with them all: WinZIP + command line extension --- Simply doesn't run -- works fine directly from the command line but just creates a temp file and then times out when run from CF. WinRAR -- Only seems creates a RAR file, despite the docs saying that if you specify an output file of .zip it should create a ZIP file. Zip 2.31 from Info-ZIP [http://short.badpen.com/?KYTEY780] -- The closest I've got -- the ZIP file is created and protected correctly, but I can't see any option to remove the extra path information. The problem I have is that I need to recurse into the directory and store everything in the relative paths, but I don't want the original base path added too. For example, using the code above I'd get something like the following: file/path/subpath/file.txt file/path/subpath/another.txt file/path/subpath2/2.txt When what I want is: subpath/file.txt subpath/another.txt subpath2/2.txt === Anyone got any suggestions with this quandry?

RE: How to Browse and Choose Directory...
Rick, > I understand that *currently* CFDirectory only has access to > my local system...what I'm talking about is developing a tag > that allows a user to specify a directory for upload the same > way we use CFFile now... There will never be a time when or will have access to a user's file system. This is not due to a lack of foresight on MM's part, but because of security restrictions put in place via the user's operating system and the HTTP protocol. To enable CF to have access to an arbitrary user's file system would also mean that it was open to anyone else who cared to have a look, hackers included. You also have the issue of how to actually get to the user's machine: what would happen to users who are behind a proxy server or firewall? In case there is still confusion between client and server funcionality, I have detailed, step by step, the process of uploading a file via HTTP: 1. An HTML form is displayed to the user in their web browser including a file upload field. 2. The user fills out the form and selects a file to upload 3. The user clicks the "submit" button 4. The web browser software (IE/Firefox/Opera etc) grabs the required file from the user's file system 5. The file data is encoded in the header of the HTTP request and sent to the web server All the above happens on the client side -- there is no interaction from the web server or ColdFusion. 6. The web server recieves the request 7. The uploaded file is decoded and placed in a temporary location by the webserver software (IIS/Apache etc) 8. The uploaded file information is set in the environment variables by the webserver We still haven't got to ColdFusion yet. The above process is the same whether you are using Firefox on a PC and uploading to a webserver running IIS, or if you're using Lynx on a linux terminal uploading to Apache. At this point, the uploaded file is a temporary file sitting somewhere on the webserver (NOT on the client machine). 9. The webserver passes the request off to ColdFusion 10. A call is made from within a CF template 11. CF moves the file from where it was put in point 7 above (remember -- it's already on the server) to the CF temp directory. At the same time it reads information such as the uploaded file name, MIME type and file size and places the data in the CFFILE scope for you to play with. As you can see, ColdFusion has no access at all to the client machine. It purely acts on data on the server. To enable uploading of whole directories the HTTP protocol, the implementation of that protocol in the user's webbrowser, and possibly the underlying operating system would have to be changed. I find it very very unlikely that this is ever going to happen, mainly for the security reasons that have already been mentioned, but also that it's a hell of a big job! If in the unlikely event it *did* come about, it'd take a long time (years) for the protocol changes to be ratified and updated, and then longer still for the browsers to support the new method. As has been mentioned, one frequently used method of uploading multiple files is for the user to place all the required files in one zip file and upload that. The process would then occur as above, but at the end you would run a command to unzip the file, and then process all the files uploaded individually.

RE: HTM vs CFM Pages
> Is there any advantage or disadvantage to naming these pages > with a HTM extension rather than a CFM extension? Is there a > speed penalty? A .cfm file will *always* be passed to the CF engine, so even if there's nothing for the engine to do, it's still got to break the page down etc, so there will be a speed increase in serving up the pages (although it'll only be measured in a matter of milliseconds). A more important benefit (as I see it) is that it keeps the CF server free for "real" requests, i.e. those that actually require some CF processing.

RE: Delimeter problem
Qasim, > listtoarray(replace(list, '||', '| |', 'All'), '|') This wouldn't work because there is actually an empty element *before* the "153564587" item -- your code only replaces empty elements in the middle of the series and would ignore those at the beginning or end. Of course you could simply add a space at both the beginning and end of the string before it is parsed, which would get around the problem. You still have the slight inconvenience of "empty" elements actually containing a single space; what happens if one of the elements did actually contain a single space? You'd have no way of knowing the difference between the real element and those that have been "padded".

This is exactly what Asim tried to do without success -- the CF list
functions ignore empty list elements, but my understanding is that he
needs to retain those "empty" elements, hence my previous pointer to an
identical thread.

RE: ERROR
> I am testing a site I switch from ACCESS to MySql and I ma > getting the following error. > ByteArray objects cannot be converted to strings. For some reason the result of some MySQL queries (especially those using MySQL date functions like DATE_ADD() and DATE_FORMAT()) is treated as a binary field by CF: try dumping out the query and you'll see a nice yellow box filled with a long hex string embedded in your query results where you'd expect a date to be. It's easy enough to combat: just run the date field through a tostring() call to convert it back to the required string representation: Tim. -- --- Badpen Tech - CF and web-tech: http://tech.badpen.com/ --- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.

RE: Count Online Users Conundrum
Sung,
> What happens is that at the end of the day (I run an intranet where
there
> are about 200 peak users), around midnight, it still shows 80 or so
users
> online! What do you think could be causing this?
Does the code you run to "report" on the user sessions run the code you
posted first? By this I mean does it run through and clear any old
sessions out before reporting how many are still there?
What the code you posted does (badly) is record a timestamp of when a
new session is started, for each user session (although the CFID is by
no means guaranteed to be unique), and then deleting any over 15
minutes. So every session will remain there for 15 minutes (or until
the first page call that runs the skimmer code after the 15 minute limit
has expired) and then be deleted. If the user is still using the
system, they will simply be added back in the next time they access a
page, with a new 15 minute "count".
Therefore, at the end of the day, if there are no page calls made
between 5:30 and midnight, all sessions will still be held in memory,
because the skimmer hasn't been run. I would say that's why you're
still leeing lots of users on line at midnight.
I'd like to ask what you're actually attempting to do with this code.
If it's to see how many people are using the system within the last 15
minutes and how long they've been using the application for, then this
code certainly doesn't do that, or at most does a very bad job of it.
What you'll need to do is add *two* timestamps to each user -- one for
when they first accessed the system, and one when they last requested a
page. Your "15 minute check" should then use the difference between
these values to determine whether the user has been inactive for 15
minutes.
As for Ray's comment of "but that is some pretty awful code" I
completely agree. I've attempted to go through it somewhat below
code-block by code-block -- not changing any of the existing
functionality, but just cleaning it up -- with explanations of what I've
done and why.
>
>
>
>
>
Since CFMX (I'm assuming you're using MX?), you don't have to worry
about locking shared scopes for reading only, so there's no need to lock
everything as you have done. Put another around so you only lock
when absolutely necessary. Keeping the original in there just
makes sure that should two requests happen fairly closely, that only one
initialises the new structure.
>
>
>
>
This is a totally pointless lock. You're not writing to (or even
reading from) any shared scope. Additionally, you're using a randomly
generated lock ID so even if you were writing to a shared scope there's
nothing to stop two requests happening simultaneously, because they are
guaranteed to have different lock IDs!
Secondly, I'm not sure why you're using an evaluate() call where you
are, it doesn't do anything except add another function call. The
user's CFID is available anywhere and won't change so there's no need to
reference that as anything different. The user_time variable is only
actually used once, so why not just replace it with the now() call? In
effect, you don't need this section at all.
>
>
>
user_time)>
>
>
Again, as in the first section, there's no need to lock for a read, so
add another statement around the outside of this section.
Replace the user_cfid with CFID and the user_time with now() as
described above. Finally, you don't have to assign the result of the
structinsert() call -- it just means another variable clogging up memory
during the page request:
>
>
>
> Evaluate(DateDiff("n", StructFind(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser),
Now())) GT 15
> >
>
>
>
>
Now this is the sort of block where everyone's opinions will diverge
somewhat. Some will say lock outside the loop, other will say only lock
when deleting. Only locking when deleting will make the code "cleaner",
but *may* leave you open to race conditions where two instances of the
script are running at the same time and try to read and delete from the
same item in the structure at the same time.
By locking the whole loop, if you have a large number of users and page
requests, you might be asking every script to wait while 200 "users" are
looped through. Obviously it's a fairly trivial number in this case,
but the theory is that you wouldn't do that on something with possibly
1000s of sessions, so why in this case?
Personally, I'd change things a bit and use a named lock inside the
loop, with a call inside that to make sure that we're not trying
to read or delete something that isn't there any more. Note I've also
removed the unrequired evaluate() call:
], Now())
GT 15>

I hope that's some help! Now I'll get back to doing something I'm being
paid to do... ;)

Preorder tree traversal algorithm
Afternoon, Has anyone written an example of modified preorder tree traversal [http://www.sitepoint.com/print/hierarchical-data-database] for MySQL in CF? I've done inserts and deletes (plus various selects) but I haven't sat down to work out updates (moving a node from one parent to another) yet, so I thought I'd check if anyone's got an example before I go ahead...

RE: How does Amazon do that?
> When you look around Amazon.com, and show an interest in > something, there's always a part of the page that says > "people who bought this also bought that > .." The solution I came up with uses two tables - the product table (guess what that is?) and a product_link table. The product_link allows me to store, well, links between products in an arbitrary way. The link table has a 3-way PK of product ID, associated product ID and product link "type" - the type is just a numeric field which represents the type of link between the products which in my case includes "similar too", "related too", "cross sell with" and "also bought". The first three are set via the admin. The final field in the link table is a generic "data" field, which in the case of the "also bought" type is a count. In this way I can grab the most popular "also bought" products with a nice simple query by ordering by the data field. The "also bought" data is not generated on-the-fly - it could take wy too long to increment the appropriate counters for each product link when someone checks out, so instead it's done nightly (or whenever) on a schedule. That's just one solution though... Tim. -- --- Maze Solver - http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ --- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.

OK, you win. ;) There was a misconfiguration in the /etc/hosts file. I've no idea how this was changed (as everything used to work fine!) but at least the connector now, um, connects. But now I'm back to where I started yesterday - I'm getting JRun 404 errors, not apache or even nicely formatted CF "missing template" notices, just plain JRun 404s. Looking at the app log: "Error","jrpp-65","04/23/04","15:22:58",,"File not found: /index.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /var/www/html/siteroot/index.cfm " "Error","jrpp-65","04/23/04","15:22:58",,"Exception thrown by error-handling template:" "Error","jrpp-65","04/23/04","15:22:58",," The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /opt/coldfusionmx/wwwroot/WEB-INF/exception/coldfusion/runtime/TemplateNotFoundException.cfm " It seems like JRun can't find the appropriate file and then when it tries to invoke the CF missing template handler, it can't find that either?!

CFMX connector issues
Afternoon all... This morning I had need to restart CF on one of our boxes. Since the restart I've been having a most un-fun morning. CF started refusing to server up and CFM pages. In fact it seems that JRun was the culprit. Basically, requests were being passed OK from the webserver to the CF server, but JRun was failing to find both the requested file AND the default error template that shows the nice "Template Not Found" error - I was just getting a raw JRun 404 error. This was happening both for calls through the external web server via the connector AND using the built-in server. I tried everything I could think of but in the end have gone for a reinstall. OK so far, I can get CFMs served up using the interal webserver, but the connector is proving more than a little troublesome. When running the connector in debug mode I get the error show at the bottom of this mail, saying that it can't connect to the JNDI server. I've now hit a brick wall - I don't know where to go from here. Any advice most definitely appreciated!

We've written a mailing-list-manager type app here which allows the user to send combined plain text/HTML emails to an opt-in mailing list. All creation of mails etc is handled by ColdFusion but the actual sending is done using a perl script run as a cron job. Doing it this way takes lots of load off the server and speeds up the process (the user doesn't have to wait for 10s of thousands of mails to be sent - can you imagine the requesttimeout setting on that?!), and even means we can generate the mail from one server (the CF/web server) and send it from another (a dedicated "mailing" server).

RE: Securing CF Apps.
> anotha new level of confidence...and power Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power :) > If you want a secure app, don't let users see your > fuseaction names. If you want a secure app, don't let anyone use it... ;) As for using the security of your DB instead of application-based security - in my opinion this is possibly *less* secure - it means that anyone with a login for your webapp automatically has a direct login for your database server! A few pointers I use when thinking about the security of CF web apps: 1. Make sure CF server is suitably locked down - e.g.: - all services that aren't needed off (eg POP3 on a webserver) - file ownership set correctly - CF service running as a non-privileged user; 2. All incoming (URL/FORM/COOKIE/CLIENT stored in cookie) variables filtered and checked for validity; 3. Use different datasources for different query types - have one DS for SELECT-type queries (where the DB user only has SELECT privs) and one for INSERTs etc (DB user has fuller privs); 4. ALWAYS use - in my experience the lack of cachedwithin="" can either be overcome by using shared scopes or is not fully used - for example if you're on a shared server with tens or hundreds of separate web apps all using cachedwithin then it's unlikely that your results will stayed cached for long! 5. Sure, if your DBMS has the facility, use stored procedures, but don't go over the top - the more complex your app, the more difficult future maintenance will be and the more likely someone will make a mistake that will lead to a possible exploitation point. 6. Store passwords using a one-way hash value unless absolutely necessary - there's no real problem generating a new password if the user's forgotten their old one rather. That's just a few things off the top of my head - I'm sure people can come up with a whole lot more!

If I wait until after the server has apparently started up and then run the connector manually (or using cfmx-connecters.sh) then it just sits there apparently doing nothing for ages again and then comes up with a message saying it can't connect to the JRun server: ---8<- /opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/jre/bin/java -jar \ /opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar -ws apache \ -dir /etc/httpd/conf -a -bin /usr/sbin/httpd \ -script /etc/init.d/httpd -v Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost. Possible causes: o Server not running -Start Macromedia JRun4 or ColdFusion MX server o Server running -JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall on server -host restriction in security.properties blocking communication with server ---8<- Now I have made changes to the security.properties as advised in the middle of http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/connector_inst all_faq.htm because I was getting "attempt to connect to JRun server from [IP address] host" errors in cfserver.log. My security.properties file currently has the following entries: jrun.subnet.restriction= jrun.trusted.hosts=[my machine's IP] But even if I state both the above as having a value of * (i.e. no restrictions) then I still get the same issues. If I enable the internal webserver and connect to :8500 then it sits there for a while then cuts the connection - I'm guessing it's the same problem. I've now run out of things to try... Has anyone else got any suggestions? Tim. -- --- Maze Solver - http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ --- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.

RE: CFC Web services wont work with PHP sites
> Anyway, so here's an example in that article:
That looks overly complex for what you're doing. The PHP PEAR libraries
provide a nice and simple way of using a web service when you've got the
WSDL for it, so you don't need to worry about all the SOAP stuff (name
spaces etc) directly.
I've just knocked this together (modified from the example at
http://short.badpen.com/?2R5U89RN) - I don't have a PHP server with PEAR
installed so I can't actually test it, but there's no reason I can see
that it shouldn't work. It doesn't do anything with the returned data
other than dump it all out, but it's a better start than nothing!
Of course it won't work until your server starts serving up the WSDL
instead of the actual CFC, and you need a PHP server with the SOAP
libraries installed... ;)
// include the appropriate SOAP client functions etc
require_once 'SOAP/Client.php';
// grab the WSDL from the appropriate URL
$wsdl = new
SOAP_WSDL('http://bluegrass.org.au/_cfcs/anniversaries.cfc?wsdl');
// get the proxy object for the WSDL so we can call methods from it
$proxy = $wsdl->getProxy();
// get stuff going on this week
$thisweek = $proxy->getthisweek();
//just dump the object returned for now
print_r ($thisweek);
?>
Hope that's a start...
> How do I tell these PHP folks who wont learn and don't have a
> clue, how to use method getthisweeksevents
Personally, I'd tell them to get off their a*ses and trying doing
something for themselves instead of relying on other people... *shrug*

RE: Loops in Loops (let's go loopy)

I usually do that by having a couple of variables: page -> the current page you're on (from URL) pagesize -> the number of items on a page (hardcode/from URL) recordcount -> the total number of results (from your query) You can then work out things like the total number of pages (the ceiling function is to round the number of pages up to the closest integer) : And then loop from 1 to pagecount and print out a number and link each time: HTH, Tim. --- Maze Solver - http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ --- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.

Use listfind() and you can shorten that to one line:

listfind() will return the position of the string ("6") in the list if
it exists, or 0 (zero) if it doesn't. Because any non-zero number is

RE: CFIF inside of CFLOOP

Or you can do it without using evaluate() by using summat like:
Replace this:
evaluate('dropship'&indexvalue&'_value')
With this:
variables['dropship'&indexvalue&'_value']
That assumes that the vars are in the variables scope - if they're
coming from a form then it'll be form['...'] etc.

I won't be releasing the judging mazes until after the competition is over so you'll have to create your solver to work under any conditions!

Fancy a ColdFusion Challenge?
Right you 'orrible lot... For any of you that read my blog at http://tech.badpen.com/ (so that'll be, oh, no-one...) you will have seen yesterday that I've been putting together a ColdFusion Coding Contest, and the first challenge has been posted at http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ Your task - given a text-based 2D maze, find the shortest path out of it! "What's the point?" I hear you ask? Well, there isn't one really. Mainly it's to give people a challenge and maybe to get people doing the sort of coding that they wouldn't normally get the chance to do during the usual mass-website-producing day in the office... Also, I'm trying to convince the boss-man here to provide a prize... All information you should need is on the site including submission details and sample mazes to test your solver on. The submission date has been set for Friday 13th Feb by 4pm GMT so make sure I have your entries by then! Just in case you missed it, the URL again: http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ Happy coding!

RE: Application variables between two applications

You can use the underlying java of CF to get a hold of the application
scope for any currently active application:
// application tracker object
appObj = createObject("java",
"coldfusion.runtime.ApplicationScopeTracker");
// get "external" app scope
appScope = appObj.getApplicationScope("myappname");
Note that this is "undocumented" and so could well change in a future
release of CF. Also if the app name you give it doesn't exist it won't
error - you'll just get a java null value back, which CF isn't too hot
on handling...
For more info on using the ApplicationScopeTracker and similar
SessionTracker have a look at

HTH,
Tim.
