RE: image dimensions on mapped drive file

2010-08-16 Thread Andy Matthews

Does ColdFusion have access to that drive? Can you generate a list of files,
and their permissions with cfdirectory for example?

Subject: image dimensions on mapped drive file


I need to get the dimensions of some images.  In my local environment, my
wwwroot is located on a mapped drive at:
\\awesome-pc\inetpub\wwwroot\

It is also mapped on the server as:
z:\wwwroot\

I found a couple of methods to get image dimensions, and am using the one
from this thread:
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:33091

http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:33091 I am
getting:
Can't read input file!

I can go to the image on the server by putting in the path directly, so it
is accessable, but for some reason cf can't see it.  I know there is an
issue with null credentials on network assets, so everything is starting
under a user account.

How can I get this to work?

Passing:
\\awesome-pc\inetpub\wwwroot\domain_com\includes\www_domain_com\dev\images\p
roducts\image.jpg
or
z:\wwwroot\domain_com\includes\www_domain_com\dev\images\products\image.jpg

cffunction name=ImageSize returnType=struct access=public

  cfargument name=FileLoc type=string required=Yes

  cfset jFileIn =
createObject(java,java.io.File).init(ARGUMENTS.FileLoc)

  cfset ImageInfo = StructNew()
  cfset ImageObject =
createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO).read(jFileIn)

  cfset ImageInfo.ImgWidth = ImageObject.getWidth()
  cfset ImageInfo.ImgHeight = ImageObject.getHeight()

  cfreturn ImageInfo

You're not being a jerk. Those are all good points. I doubt anyone's going
to care to mess with it. Even if they do, the most that will happen is that
one site's usability stats get inflated.

 Sorry - what? Oh - are you asking if I would know to use that vector?
 If I run your site and see a request made via XHR to foo.cfm, and then 
 I try to run it myself in another tab and get blocked, then yes, I 
 would consider that. And I'm a Script Kiddy Hacker so I assume the 
 real guys would try it too.

 Shoot - I almost always try the URLs I see in Firebug/Chrome Dev 
 tools. I'm not trying to be malicious of course. Just poking around.

Preventing use of remote method by other sites

2010-08-13 Thread Andy Matthews

I have a method that I'm exposing remotely. We'll be using AJAX calls to insert 
usability stats about a new application. I'm working through the code when I 
realize that since it's remote access, anyone from any site could post to it 
and skew our results.

I'm wondering what's the best way to prevent access to this URL from any other 
site, or code. My first thought was to compare the current URL, dev1 for 
example, to the URL the request was made from, or perhaps the IP address. But 
I'm not sure how to get that information.

Anyone have ideas?

Oooh. That's a good idea. Since we're using it for AJAX, then make it so
that it can ONLY be used as AJAX, which would prevent other sites from using
it because of the cross site scripting.

As I stated in my other post, I am just transitioning to Application.cfc, so

I'm looking for a basic web resource coover what would be considered best
practices for building a website that will be viewed on mobile devices... a
general reference guide/best practices document, that might cover (x)html,
css, etc... I can't seem to find the right keywords to Google with.  The
last mobile xml/html spec I could find was from 2001.  I knwo i could just
wing it and use basic html and go from there, but I'd rather follow at least
a proposed standard, if there is one.

Thanks for any links you can provide!

RE: jQuery calling cfc question

2010-07-29 Thread Andy Matthews

Richard...

Do you have a demo online that we can take a look at?

It's probably something really small. You might also try doing a writeDump
of the arguments scope, and an abort in your CFC. That way you can make sure
you're getting the correct arguments. You can also dump the results of the
query variable to see what IT returns.

 Simple form, one field with id=name and a Save button which should

 The cfc exists, the method is set to remote, but nothing happens, in 
 firebug I see the call  and no error, but the info is not updated in the
db.
 What's strange is that even if I use a method that doesn't exist there 
 is no error.

 I have tried putting the cfc in the same folder with the calling cfm

 It's driving me nuts.

 $(function() {

 and this is the method:

 remote function save  (string name)

Nothing against Railo.  My main project right now is a Railo site (altho
we're keeping it CF9 compatible) with a mySQL database.  Works a treat.

I just don't know this other site well enough to be able to say, yeah,
let's jump over to Railo and convert your MS SQL database to mySQL :)
There's also a flex-based admin area and I'm not sure how well that would
work.

At this point in time... probably not something that the client would want
to undertake (all of the UAT that would be necessary to ensure that all
facets of the site still function properly).  They're a small non-profit and
I don't think they have the manpower to even do that, nor do I think they'd
want to pay me to take that on.

Appreciate the feedback tho.  I'd heard Alurium's name mentioned before.

Greg...

The 503 error could also be related to the web server (Apache or IIS).

I'd just tell your friends that ANY site would go down under the traffic
sent by Drudge Report unless it had lots of resources. Hell Twitter has load
issues weekly and they're running Rails (I think). 

There's NO language that's Scalable right out of the box. It all has to do
with HOW the site is written.

RE: Regex Help

2010-07-27 Thread Andy Matthews

Fixing the  current links within your site so that they're search engine
safe will actually break ALL of your indexed links within Google, or Yahoo,
etc.

Having a URL rewrite in place alongside your code changes will allow Google
to keep your links indexed and update them the next time it indexes your
site.

My host uses ISAPI_REWRITE for IIS and here's what my .htaccess file looks
like for my blog:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule category/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) index.cfm?verb=categoryterm=$1
RewriteRule search/([a-zA-Z0-9-,]+) index.cfm?verb=searchterm=$1
RewriteRule rss/([a-zA-Z0-9-,]+)? rss.cfm?feed=$1

I personally HATE having to have the index.cfm in my links so I wrote this
to keep me from having to do that. A category link might look like this:

http://andymatthews.net/category/jQuery/

What the regex does in the second line above is to capture (regex)
everything after category/ and pass it to index.cfm as
verb=categoryterm=jQuery

If it's this:

RE: Export CF app as HTML files to save on cd

Another SUPER easy way to do this is to use HTTrack:

It spiders a website and creates a local copy. Lots of config options too.

 they would like lists of publications by scientist.  The app that I

 What I would like to do is export all the HTML from this part of the

 Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or give me a few

RE: CF Query to WDDX to Javascript. Possible?

2010-07-20 Thread Andy Matthews

Make sure to check the casing of your returned variables. If you're using
dot notation in any of your CF code, ColdFusion will force upper case on
keys that it returns.

 It's been a long time since I've done this so this may not be useful, 
 but isn't the returned packet a Javascript array?  At least it was 
 when I used to use cfwddx, so it was just a matter of normal array 
 manipulation.

Thanks for the response!  You would think so, but from my experience I
cannot get at the data the same way I would with a normal array. For
example: response.SCNDRY_TXT[1] returns undefined when I try to 'alert'
the value, where response is the name of the total data set, and SCNDRY_TXT
is the field name.

For that specific string, \$(\S+) seems to work.  The \S is any character
that is not a whitespace character, so it'd work for $400.01 as well.
 \$(\w+) should also return the same result.

RE: issues preserving the case of the key

Put your initial array inside a scope.

VARIABLES['response'] = {};

Then you'd refere to it like so:

VARIABLES['response']['hotspots'] = [];

On a side note, it's irritating that it does this, but you can code for it
on the client as long as you know it's happening. ColdFusion itself could
care less if the variables are uppercase, lowercase, or some mixture.

You can do implicit array and structure creation in ColdFusion since v8.

Only on CF 9 however can you do this

cfset myArr = [] 
cfset ArrayAppend( myArr, {} )

Well, remember that JSON is a string representation of a complex object, not

So if you plan on passing the variable below through SerializeJSON, or

You might even consider a subquery to get those two id values:

SELECT * FROM judges
ORDER BY CASE WHEN judge_id IN (
SELECT id
FROM users
WHERE some criteria
) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END,
judge_lname

Then you wouldn't have to hard code them.

RE: Finding the value of a key in a nested structure

When working with structures nested that deeply you might consider IsDefined

It's not a best practice necessarily, but it would prevent a whole bunch of

Subject: Finding the value of a key in a nested structure


Ok, my brain is hurting - I know this should be possible, but I can't quite
get the syntax.

I need to pass a string (a path to a structure which contains a boolean in
the session scope) into a function, which then checks the value:

i.e

cfif checkPermission(email.send.all)
Show a form or page
/cfif

cffunction name=checkPermission
cfargument name=path
cfif session.currentUser.permissions['#arguments.path#']
cfreturn true
cfelse
cfreturn false
/cfif
/cffunction

So in this instance, CF is looking for
session.currentUser.permissions['email.send.all'] - i.e a structure key name
of 'email.send.all' , rather than
session.currentUser.permissions.email.send.all

Is there an elegant solution to this problem?

I suspect this is just a joke on your part, and I'm not really

on this list is mostly people like Barney and Sean. When I read their
posts, I'm likely to learn something I didn't know before. I may not
even understand the topic they're discussing at first, but that's how
we learn new things.

I started programming when most programmers were building desktop
applications, and concurrency wasn't usually much of an issue for
them. Nowadays, of course, concurrency is an issue for all of us since
we build multiuser applications. But a lot of CF programmers, in my
experience, aren't prepared to understand or deal with concurrency
issues - and I think this explains some of the feeling in the larger
world of programming that CF is a toy language. Many CF developers
don't understand how databases deal with concurrency, or how
concurrency affects their own applications.

CF developers very often don't seem to know what's going on in that
larger world of programming, and we should. We don't all have to be
computer scientists, but we should at least know the basics of our
trade.

CFLOCK is only required to serialize access to prevent race
conditions.  For immutable state, no race conditions can arise, so
locking is unneeded.  Since application.applicationname is immutable,
you don't need to lock access to it.

In a more general sense, anything that is only accessed in a read-only
and side effect-free fashion doesn't need to be locked.  This is the
reason that functional languages are so supremely suited to highly
concurrent applications.  With immutable state and side effect-free
operations, the issue of concurrency basically vanishes from the
programmer's mind.

This purity of environment only works completely in academia, but a
very close approximation can be created that is useful for real-world
problems.  Clojure (a JVM-based Lisp dialect) is an example of this,
leveraging Actors to deal with concurrent modification problems
without foisting the hassle of locking on the developer.

I would like people to be able to download them to listen on their ipod or
in their car on a cd etc.

People are able to listen to them from the web but their ability to
download and save them seems very variable. Some can see save as others
can't. There is great variability between browsers and the media programs
that people are using. Some mp3 files are able to be saved others aren't
though I am not sure of any difference as I haven't set any specific
permissions

Is there a way to create saving permission for mp3 that all browsers/media
players would recognize?

Thanks

Rob

RE: Which is more efficient?

2010-05-08 Thread andy matthews

Performance wise you'd probably only see a difference in the milliseconds.

Memory wise you might see a difference in the last one because of the extra
variable storage, but only on sites with really high traffic.

That's my guess that is.

I was set here on a Saturday morning writing code for a website and I was
wondering what is more efficient when working with setting and manipulating
variable values.

Which is more efficient?

Doing it all in one call?
cfscript
Variables.myVar = Trim(Replace(SomeValue, whatever, something, ALL));
/cfscript

Seperating the functions?
cfscript
Variables.myVar = Replace(SomeValue, whatever, something, ALL);
Variables.myVar = Trim(Variables.myVar);
/cfscript

Seperating the functions with a assignment to a new variable?
cfscript
Variables.myVar = Replace(SomeValue, whatever, something, ALL);
Variables.myNewVar = Trim(Variables.myVar);
/cfscript

Like I said just something I was thinking about.

RE: How are other developers handling big SVN repositories?

2010-05-06 Thread Andy Matthews

That's pretty much how we handle it.

We have a single branch that gets created at the beginning of each week,
forked from the trunk. All minor changes get committed to that branch during
the week, then merged into the trunk.

When a new project is created, changes are committed to it, then merged into
the current weekly branch, then into the trunk.

We have about 8 or 9 engineers and QA people working on a big cf
application, all stored in SVN.  The way we currently handle source control
is at the outset of each mini-project, then one or two developers will
branch the svn and work on that until they're done, then QA will merge the
changes back into the trunk.

The problem has become, we now have like 30+ branches, about 8 of which are
used regularly, and QA is getting into merge hell.

SoHow do other developers handle svn with large projects and multiple
people?

RE: query for experts?

If the minimum quantity is 5 for an item, then you should consider not
letting them place only 4 in their cart. If you're still wanting to move in
that direction then a query like this should do the trick:

SELECT FLOOR(price * CEILING(cart.qty/ min_qty) ) AS price
FROM tblPricing
WHERE id = 123

a product has the following rows...

the customer adds a quantity of 4 to their cart. how do i establish that the
price should be $12.00?

existing query would be...

SELECT price
FROM tblPricing
WHERE product_min = cart.qty
ORDER BY product_min DESC

RE: query for experts?

2010-05-05 Thread andy matthews

You didn't mention which DB system you're using. The functions might be
different from DB to DB. I used SQL Server as my base so YMMV.

Using CF code as an example you should get multiples of the price for each
grouping less than or equal to the minimum quantity:

cfset cart = 4
cfset min = 5
cfset price = 12

cfoutput
#Fix(price * CEILING(cart/ min) )#
/cfoutput

So for 1-5, you'd have 1 * 12, for 6-10 you'd have 2 * 12, 11-15 you'd have
3 * 12, etc.

That should carry over to the query as well.

Matt - 

I have the same problem with a client - they receive images from a 3rd party

Sometimes we have to make a NEW image - then cut and paste the pic into it
to save to the correct format...

However - I am not aware of any method for testing the JPGs formats through
CF...  (Or even what is really wrong with these JPGS - I just assume
something is wrong with the way they were originally created - perhaps
using RAW?)  RGB vs CMYK isn't necessarily the problem... At least for me.
(Some of the JPGS in CMYK actually show up... Others in GRB don't...?! )

Only thing I can say - is try that conversion stuff and see what happens.
And please post the answer - would LOVE to know the answer.

Does cflocation pass through request type and variables?

2010-04-16 Thread Andy Matthews

My company, Dealerskins, has a Flash application for viewing a car dealer's
inventory. On the details page of said app, there a  series of configurable
buttons which can point to any page in a dealer's site. We link to that page
by performing a POST request from Flash, passing an assortment of variables
to the receiving page. Dealer's can also have a custom URL on the page which
takes the user to any site on the internet the dealer wishes to link to. In
this case, the dealer is linking to a credit app site which does not allow
POST requests. 

The problem is that we're using cflocation on the middle page to redirect
the user. You can clearly see this behaviour if you visit the following URL
in Firefox, with Firebug running.

http://www.galpinford.com/used-inventory/19UUA66287A002725

Click the Get Approved button and you'll see that the page dies. If you
examine the request, you'll also see that the third party site is blocking
the POST request, but you can also see the values we're submitting.

My question is, is it possible to convert a POST request to a GET request
before passing the user off to the third party URL?

Well, in almost every case, if not all cases, with a 3rd party URL, we don't

Is there anyway to use cfset or cfsavecontent to store a complete cfinput
tag?

i.e.

cfset config.formFieldA = cfinput type=text name=fieldname
value=//

If I do a view source, I see it the code on my output page, but it won't
render at all in the browser.

If I try cfsavecontent it errors because the cfinput isn't in a cfform
(since the cfinput is in a CFC being called by the form page).

The reason for this is that this one form field could have different max
lengths, validations, validation patterns, and messages based on a variety
of factors.  If I can move the input into a CFC that returns all sorts of
other partner specific info, it keeps me to having just one space to enter
config data.

Just to clarify that CF ONLY returns JSON in all caps if you use dot

Dot notation
VARIABLES.myStruct.myKey - VARIABLES.MYSTRUCT.MYKEY

Bracket notation
VARIABLES['myStruct']['myKey'] - VARIABLES.myStruct.myKey

first I would use jquery to make it easier but if neither of you know it the
first hurdle you will face is multiple clicks so you should put a div and

this work right or else you'll be scratchin your head trying to get it.

then in the same function use jquery ajax function to grab info.

Also cfm returns json IN ALL CAPS, so propertyID becomes PROPERTYID in the
returned json.

$(function() {
$('td.propertyInfo').live('click',

var PropertyID = this.id;
//the line below is used with a regex to help filter data faster by
adding a

regex
// removes the additional text: example would be: the table row
would be 
//property id but you shouldn't use that id if it's just a number so
adding 
//property-#propertyID# separates the value from any other
possible conflicts.
var getDataString = $(this).attr('id').replace(/property-/ig, '');

 nothing searching for iPhone?

The Flash CS5 release, coming soon, lets Flash developers export to native
iPhone apps, which can then presumably be put in the App Store and rejected
for arbitrary and capricious reasons.

The AIR runtime for iPhone is also coming soon, I think, at which point
you'll be able to build Flex/AIR iPhone apps.

I have to say that I don't agree with that last statement.  FlashBuilder
4 (Standard Edition) with CFBuilder costs $299, and FlashBuilder 4 (Standard
Edition) without CFBuilder costs $249.  So for an existing PHP/Flex

 A lot of us hoped they would see that selling it a lower price point 
 would help to increase the uptake of the language as a whole and thus 
 ultimately sell more server licenses. For a large company like Adobe, 
 profit is what the company makes as a whole, not what one product alone
brings in.
 Microsoft learned this a long time ago and has used free and 
 low-priced items to increase their revenue in other areas, and it's 
 certainly a large reason for their success.

 

 Bundling it with FlashBuilder may be their way of trying to increase 
 the uptake of the language as a whole and thus ultimately sell more 
 server licenses.  By doing this, they're potentially introducing CF to 
 PHP developers, Java developers, etc.  Everyone who uses Flex but 
 doesn't use CF on the server side.

 I'm not exactly sure that selling it at a lower price point would have 
 the same effect.  It'd appeal to those of us who currently use
ColdFusion...
 we'd conceivably be able to buy the product for $199 instead of $299.
Ok...
 but I don't see where that would necessarily increase the uptake of 
 the language as a whole.

   
 I also think their move to bundle CFBuilder with FlashBuilder -is-
 
 encouraging developers.  It's encouraging me to make the foray into 
 Flex, which is something that I've wanted to do for a while now.
   
 Not if the price discourages me from even buying the product in the 
 first place.

 

 But you're already a ColdFusion developer.  If I wanted to buy 
 FlexBuilder 3 last year, I'd have paid $299 (i think... it was 
 certainly in that neighborhood).  So we know that Flex developers are 
 willing to pay that amount.  They're going to pay the same thing this 
 year, and get ColdFusion Builder.  Adobe is pretty much giving it away 
 to the Flex community in hopes of doing what you say... increase the
uptake of the language as a whole.

 We CF folk.. we pay a little bit more than the $199 we hoped it would 
 be, and get FlashBuilder.  So not only is Adobe conceivably 
 introducing CF to other developers, but it's conceivably introducing
Flex/FlashBuilder to us.

 I'm sorry that people think $300 is too expensive.  I know that
expensive
 is a subjective term, and while some people can whip out their credit 
 cards and order a copy without a second thought, some of us will have 
 to save up for it.  But as has been pointed out... if you use the 
 product for a year (and it really shouldn't even take a year), how 
 much time are you going to save... how much more productive could you
possibly be?

 Maybe the answer is, not enough.  In which case... there are 
 alternatives (CFEclipse and others).  For me, I think it'd be enough 
 (I'm currently using TextMate on Mac as my IDE... so I don't really 
 have a horse in this race, so to speak).  I've used the beta of 
 CFBuilder tho, and I can see where it'd save me time.  I run multiple CF8
and CF9 instances on my dev machine.
  Generally one at a time... not having to jump out of the IDE, into 
 terminal, stop one service, start the next, back to the IDE... instead 
 I can just open up the servers pane in CFBuilder, stop one service, 
 start the other.  Code insight, extensible via writing extensions in 
 CF (-not- Java)... I think I'd make my $300 back in under a year, and 
 probably end the year being up a few bucks.

need a lightweight editor which has some basic knowledge of ColdFusion and

$300 cheap for any software? What kind of Kool Aid have you been drinking? 

Don't get me wrong. ColdFusion Builder is a great IDE and I'll probably
shell out the $300 for it (or get my company to buy it). The issue is that
we're already shelling out at least $1200 to Adobe for a product that has
free products as its chief competition. It would have been wise, given that
price tag versus the price tag of PHP (or even Railo) to give us a free, or
at least inexpensive, IDE. As is, I'm feeling shafted. I almost certainly
won't use Flash Builder so I fell like I'm being forced to buy a $250 IDE
that I won't use to get a $50 IDE that I will.

That said, I'm on my way to my boss' office to ask if we've got the money in
the budget for it now. Most likely it won't happen due to the budget cuts
we're facing, and working for public schools certainly doesn't give me the
kind of financial flexibility I'd need to buy a $300 IDE any time soon.

Actually, I do not see much CFEclipse functionality in CFBuilder with one
exception and that is for Snippets. Everyone requested Adobe keep Snippets
compatible with CFEclipse so we could easily share them.  I kinda wish Adobe
could have included CFEclipse as the base of ColdFusion Builder.  I think
there would have been a shorter development time and far more bugs would be
resolved and ColdFusion Builder would have more features not less.

The other included work is that of Aptana and I suspect there is a licensing
deal between Adobe and Aptana. Aptana is a paid product so no one is getting
a free ride with that deal.

In addition Eclipse itself is based on a product that was built by IBM.

 Your problem here, in my opinion, is that you're looking at the

 There's only one thing that's relevant: would buying this make you a

RE: CF, Flex and EXTJS

2010-03-18 Thread Andy Matthews

The two technologies, Flex and Ext JS, do very similar things in different
ways. I'd say that it all depends on where your comfort level is.

If your team knows Actionscript 3 (or Java) already, then Flex might be a
good fit. If, on the other hand, you have JavaScript experts, you might want
to use Ext JS.

Bear in mind that both are free to develop in, but Flex Builder, the
preferred IDE for Flex developers, is not free.

Hey everyone...

I just wanted to take a minute to announce a new API that I've released.
It's a ColdFusion wrapper for the tumblr blog API. You can find more
information about it at my website:

http://andymatthews.net/code/tumblrCFC/


I'd love to get feedback from any of you that decide to start using it.


andy

Sounds like the world needs someone to build a ColdFusion wrapper for the
LinkedIn API Hugo. You up to the challenge?

Subject: linkedin api


Hi,

I was just looking for options to have a nicely laid out and current CV,
when I realized that I have all that information kept current in linkedin
anyways, so I might as well just look into accessing that and prepare a nice
html document using my cf engine.

Does anyone know of any existing tools/packages/cfcs to use the linkedin
api? Or any valuable pieces of experience/information in using this API?

I checked the usual suspects - riaforge, adobe cf exchange and cflib, but
didn't find anything obvious!

Thanks,
Hugo

 This should be easy.
 How do I remove all text between table/table tags from a larger
string?

RE: Development Apps - Does anyone use homesite still?

2010-03-09 Thread Andy Matthews

You're going to have the same trouble when moving to y from x in ANY field,
be it software, or applications, or even using a different knife when
cooking. You just have to believe that the new thing will eventually be
better than the old thing. If you don't think that it will improve your
development, then why bother...seriously. If Homesite works for you, and
your development needs, then why switch?

Subject: Development Apps - Does anyone use homesite still?


Hi, Ive been using homesite for my coldfusion development now for  years
(does anyone else still use it? id be interested), i have often  attempted
to swap to eclipse or (more lately) cfbuilder but i find that i  spend so
much more time trying to get used to the apps that i end up  reverting when
i need to get some work done quickly, then im hooked back  on homesite and
the circle begins again. (I also spend ages trying to  make everything look
like homesite :-))

I really would like to  change to something more up to date, does anyone
have any suggestions /  tips on how and what i should use (especially for
MURA development).

I  also use a mac which i flip between dreamweaver and cfbuilder any ideas
there?

Also and please nobody scream, but i do a lot of my live  development lately
of ftp (or sometimes RDS) - my dev work is mainly for my works local
intranet. So Homesites FTP is awesome compared to modern  apps (they just
don't make em like they used to  :-).

Thanks in  advance

Ben

RE: How to handle large ResultSet, so that it can also be reused?

2010-03-04 Thread Andy Matthews

If you want to reuse the results of a single query then your only option is
to store it in memory. I'd say you need to ask yourself whether the results
will be different from user to user, or for the entire application. That
will determine how you store the query.

If it's consistent across all users then you might be able to cache the
query on the server side. Alternately you could look at possibly storing it
in the Application or Server scopes.

I'm sure other, more experienced, developers have better suggestions.

Hey Guys!

I am creating a Reporting website in which we may get huge(ten of thousands
of records) data in query ResultSet. I may want to re-use this data as well.
So what is the best and efficient way to handle(store and retrive?) such a
resultset? 

FYI- 1. I am using Mach II framework. Can Mach II caching can help? If yes,
how and how much? I also have some basic knowledge of TransferORM. 
2. The database(oracle) we have is hugh and is really dirty(cant even create
ERD using some tools). 

Thanks

RE: Prevent Cross-Site Scripting in ColdFusion 5

2010-03-02 Thread Andy Matthews

It's easy enough to write your own function for this sort of thing. Here's
the basis of how I might approach it:

cfset REQUEST.qs = 'var1=andyvar2=Jaimevar3=Noelle'
cfset REQUEST.qsArr = ArrayNew(1)
cfloop index=REQUEST.outer list=#REQUEST.qs# delimiters=
cfset REQUEST.key = ListFirst(REQUEST.outer,'=')
cfset REQUEST.value = ListLast(REQUEST.outer,'=')
/cfloop

At that point you could do anything you wanted to with REQUEST.key or
REQUEST.value.

I have checked CFLib.org.  They have a couple of UDF's for handling URL
variables, but nothing that appeared like it would parse through
CGI.query_string or use some sort of regular expression to encode or remove
unwanted vars without losing the variables by encoding the ampersand and
equal signs. 

 Have you checked CFLib.org yet? Great collection of UDF's. Maybe 
 something there that can help you.

RE: Custom 404 Page

I think your best bet is to change your 404 handler to point to a coldfusion
page. Then it can handle everything.

RE: Best subversion repository

2010-02-24 Thread Andy Matthews

Are you not considering using Subversion? We've been using it here at
Dealerskins for over 2 years and have been very pleased. We run our own
repositories out of our staging server. So as far as cost goes it's free, if
you have the machine already.

Subject: Best subversion repository


I'm looking at offsite subversion repositories and I'd like to hear the pros
and cons from people who may have used them. The question is more towards
tools and usage than anything else. This is what I have:

Assembla - no real free account, needs the $49 account to be effective, what
are the tools like?
Beanstalk - free account, lowest cost ($15) is effective for use, not many
tools unfuddle - free account, lowest cost ($9) is effective for use, though
it'll fill up fast, looks like a good spread of tools codespaces - no free
account, lowest cost ($2.99) is effective for use, looks like it has a LOT
of tools xp-dev - free account (with ads), lowest cost ($5) is effective for
use, looks like a lot of tools

The free xp-dev or unfuddle both look like something that anyone should get
into using. The minimum codespaces looks better than either of the free
options. The minimum xp-dev has so much unlimited (users, projects, etc.)
that it kind of blows the others away. So which is best? Which has the best
tools (in your opinion). Step up to the plate and let us all know.

Thanks
