While it does work, and Cold Fusion DOES NOT crash, it is much better to store the client vars in a database. First of all, it is much easier to scale your site when client vars are stored at a DB level, and secondly, the registry has size limitations that aren't present when you are dumping vars to a database. Just make sure that if you change the CFAS admin setting to store variables in a database that you actually have the database space created first, otherwise you will be digging around in the registry trying to fix some heartache.

Re: Another YAFLAQ (yet another f****** lock question)
Thread B-C will not wait, because CFLOCK is "ADVISORY" locking, meaning it is the CFLOCK itself that causes the wait for the resource to be freed up. Cold Fusion takes no automatic action for you (unless you turn on those options in the administrator). It is up to the programmer to control resource locking with CFLOCKs. So if you put a CFLOCK around a resource, and DONT put a CFLOCK around another use of that same resource, the first lock was useless.

Basically it's something like this: Page A: Contains a just developed CFLOCK and a CFINCLUDE within to Page C Page B: Contains no CFLOCK statements but CFINCLUDES to page C Page C: No CFLOCK statements or further includes So if Page A starts and is in the lock, and Page C, at the same time Page B starts up and asks for page C, does Page B wait?

Re: Sending e-mail in a batch
i just had to comment that this is the coolest simplest idea for a problem i've been thinking about for a while. the bulk of the email i send out is "here's what's new in the last x days". so if anyone has a similar problem here's how i plan to do it, hopefully this will help you. in my user table i'll add a date field called lastNewsletter i'll select top 10 of users where lastNewsletter now()-x days generate and cache the "what's new part", the code that updates stuff on my site delete appropiate cached files so they will be regenerated next time send out mail with cached or just cached content. i figure i could run this with every hit (since i can't use cfschedule), most of the time it wouldn't send out any email, but when it does, it'll only send out 10 with cached copy so it won't slow down the request too much. i'll tweak how many i send out based on how much i see it slows down requests. it's just beautiful i tell ya... beautiful. --- defective david http://defective.net - Original Message - From: "Steve Nelson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2000 7:49 AM Subject: Re: Sending e-mail in a batch I usually just do a calculation to determine that.

RE: deallocate
Are there any issues with using the request scope in lieu of the variable scope? Or is the fact that one's a struct the only difference? There aren't any issues with using the Request scope, except that you must explicitly scope your variables; with the local Variables scope, you don't have to. However, as mentioned earlier, the fact that the Request scope is a structure isn't the only difference. The Request scope is also available to every script that is used to respond to a single request. So, for example, a Request variable set in application.cfm will be available in the main script, and also in any custom tags called by that script, and any custom tags called by those tags themselves, and so on. That's actually the reason Allaire added it, I think - Spectra uses a lot of nested custom tags, and the Request scope allows those tags to share data more easily.

RE: Application.cfm
In your application cfset application.variablename = "variable" In your custom tag #application.variablename# Scoping it as request.variablename is BAD! The request scope is set for each PAGE request and is not the same thing as application scope. Before I figured out my application scoping problem I set everything to request scope only to have to go back and change it later. This is a big performance issue if you run a big site. I wouldn't go so far as to say that using the Request scope is bad. However, it's not a replacement for the Application scope. Each is appropriate for different things. The Request scope is good for constants - variables which won't change their values over the lifespan of the application, and which are created with simple CFSETs. The cost of recreating them for each page is minimal. You wouldn't want to use the Request scope to store data objects like recordsets and arrays, though, unless you wanted to discard them at the end of processing for all scripts building a response to a single request. The Application scope is good for persistent values which may change over the lifespan of the application.

RE: TWO for the crew
1) Will CF conect to a mdb DS through a network connection?? If I map a drive to a network machine and try to connect using that drive letter in the CFA ODBC connection screen - it doesn't seem to like that?? Has anyone done this successfully? How? For this to happen, the CF service must run within a user security context that allows network connections. You can read about how to run CF as a specific user here: http://www.defusion.com/articles/index.cfm?ArticleID=89 Once that's done, you can either create a persistent drive mapping for that user, or simply use a UNC path: \\servername\sharename\mydb.mdb 2) The application.cfm template is used on all template under that directory... Shouldn't I be able to specify CFAPPLICATION on a page under that same directory - with a different app name and have that template function in it's own application scope??? There's a problem with this logic. If you put a CFAPPLICATION tag in a page, and that page runs an application.cfm with its own different CFAPPLICATION tag, then your script will have two CFAPPLICATION tags. To be honest, I don't know how that would work, or what CF would do. It doesn't sound like a good idea, though, and how it might behave now might not be the way it works in a future release of CF. If you need to create a separate application, even if that application is only one page, put it in a separate directory with its own application.cfm.

RE: ColdFusion for Dummies revision - CF5 features
| b.. Ability to run queries against existing query result sets (CFSQL). I don't understand the need for that. Couldn't you just run another query? Or is it some sort of performance issue thing since the query is in memory? Since the query is stored in memory (I assume resident only while the page is processing) you would be running your sub queries against memory. This would be a big time performance boost over running traditional queries because of the difference between the speed of memory access vs. db access. Not to be a wet blanket, but this isn't necessarily so. The problem here is that CF doesn't currently execute SQL statements. All it does is pass those as strings to the database, which executes them and returns the appropriate recordsets. Now the people who make the databases spend an awful lot of time (and money) optimizing query execution. They take advantage of indexes, alternate possible paths, bind parameters, and other stuff to make SQL run very fast. When Allaire puts in an SQL analyzer, it's unlikely that it'll match the best efforts of Oracle and Microsoft in SQL execution efficiency. To have a chance at making this work, Allaire may have to incorporate a complete in-memory database, in my opinion, which will make the base product more complex and potentially more fragile. Just a thought. I could be wrong. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CF Development Methodologies... (for Dave Watts)
Dave, you have mentioned a few times that you favor developing the front end in Cold Fusion (and of course DHTML and Javascript), the back end in a SQL Database, and all of the business logic in a middle layer. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I favor a four-tier approach. What I do favor, though, is partitioning the logic within an application across multiple tiers. I would argue that CF would primarily be a middle tier, rather than a true front-end; HTML, JavaScript/DHTML, and Flash (nowadays, especially Flash) would make up the front-end. Likewise, data manipulation logic can usually fit well within the database, using stored procedures and triggers. Finally, there's the option of placing business logic in an object tier between CF and the database. With this approach, you'd be surprised how little CF needs to be in a CF application! Most of our applications don't have an object tier, though. They do always have the other three tiers. For some applications, an object tier just makes sense - for example, if you're working with message queues or multiple database platforms. Can you tell us more about what you use for that middle layer? Do you write custom COM or CORBA objects? Do you write custom CFX tags in your favorite programming language? For object tier development, I prefer COM. My preference is driven by ignorance - I don't know enough about CORBA, and I'm not especially fond of the CFX API. Plus, I can write COM in VB - and anyone can be a VB programmer! The only problem with using COM is CF's weak COM interface, which is the biggest obstacle keeping us from using it in more CF apps. Once Pharaoh comes out do you see yourself using Java for the business logic layer? I don't think I'll wait that long. I think Java is a nice language, and I'm learning it as fast as I can. It's got very powerful libraries, and it's easier than C++. Plus, I can write cross-platform server-side code in Java. For Windows solutions, though, it's hard not to go with COM, especially if your client is a typical Windows shop with lots of VB guys. I do think that Java is the "language of the future", in that I think it'll replace the use of C++ for general line-of-business application development.

Just remembered....
I just remembered I had some troublesome code from a small lil' thing I wuz making while bored one night about 2 months ago. I had forgotten all about this page till I just found it ;). I called the code dynamicxygen.cfm planned to use it as an include. Basically what it does is this: It'll dynamically create links to each directory from the current template path, all the way down to root. If you included it on every page you would have a very easy way of creating links around the site, even tho the code is a bit clunky. It would look like this one a page: !--- Normal path to file. --- Path: C:\r00t\main\newdir\currentdir\blah.cfm !--- The dyxgen navigation would then end up like this on the page --- linkmain/link/linknewdir/link/linkcurrentdir/link/blah.cfm main/newdir/currentdir/blah.cfm all linked back to the correct files. The code works great when creating links to docs in root 2nd level directories but when it goes deeper than that it doesnt return anything but an empty array. I cant understand why, altho I do have to admit I havent looked at the code in a long while. Can anyone help me find out why this isnt working 3 or more directories deep when it works fine any level before that??? Ill post the code below: cfset pathlen=ListLen(SCRIPT_NAME,"/") cfset temparray=ArrayNew(1) cfset y="1" cfoutput cfloop index="x" from="#pathlen#" to="1" step="1" cfset getting=ListGetAt(SCRIPT_NAME,"#x#","/") cfif y IS "#pathlen#" cfset temparray[y]=#ReReplaceNoCase(SCRIPT_NAME,"getting","","ONE")# cfelse cfset y=y+1 cfset temparray[y]=#ReReplaceNoCase(SCRIPT_NAME,"getting","","ONE")# /cfif /cfloop cfloop index="z" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(temparray)#" step="1" cfset newlink="#ReReplaceNoCase(reverse(temparray[z]),"/","","ONE")#" cfif z IS "1" AND z IS NOT "#ArrayLen(temparray)#" /a href="http://127.0.0.1/"Home/a/a href="#temparray[z]#"#Reverse(newlink)#/a cfelseif z IS "#ArrayLen(temparray)#" /a href="#temparray[z]#"#Reverse(newlink)#/a /cfif /cfloop !--- I added this code once I found the bug.

Thanx for the response, I wuz almost going to bet that no one would reply to this one ;) Assembler is a pretty old language its too bad that you recommend not using it for extending CF.

Subject: RE: How can I use CF to push data into a statistical package or an
Ex cel spreadsheet?
Tim Dempsey asked:
How do I take that data and get it into Excel on the client's machine?
We had to do something like this last month (with Doughnut charts instead
of
Pie charts, but it's close enough). I never could get it to work 100% in
CF, as Excel wouldn't honor my Quit() command and would just stay open,
leaving lots of little zombies all over the place. However, on a whim I
translated it into Perl and got it to work that way. (And, oddly enough,
the Perl version is *much* easier on the eyes, for once.)
Anyway, I apologize for the minimal documentation, but this was really
just
a quick hack for me. YMMV and all that. If you ever figure out the
Quit()
problem, let me know. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. Also, if
you
want the (working) Perl version, let me know and I'll send it via separate
channels (as I figured I'd get flamed 'til the end of time if I posted
Perl
to this list). It's much smarter and does things like palette conversion
(so that you aren't stuck with Excel's default colors), and other neat-o
tricks.

Re: Assembler.....
I don't think it would be practical for general use, but for a specific function that is often used and too slow now, it may do the trick. The easiest approach would be to use something like Delphi to handle the complicated interface stuff, then use inline assembly (Delphi allows you to easy add assembly code in line:) to code your function.

RE: ColdFusion for Dummies revision - CF5 features
| b.. Ability to run queries against existing query result sets (CFSQL). I don't understand the need for that. Couldn't you just run another query? Or is it some sort of performance issue thing since the query is in memory? Since the query is stored in memory (I assume resident only while the page is processing) you would be running your sub queries against memory. This would be a big time performance boost over running traditional queries because of the difference between the speed of memory access vs. db access. Not to be a wet blanket, but this isn't necessarily so. The problem here is that CF doesn't currently execute SQL statements. All it does is pass those as strings to the database, which executes them and returns the appropriate recordsets. Now the people who make the databases spend an awful lot of time (and money) optimizing query execution. They take advantage of indexes, alternate possible paths, bind parameters, and other stuff to make SQL run very fast. When Allaire puts in an SQL analyzer, it's unlikely that it'll match the best efforts of Oracle and Microsoft in SQL execution efficiency. There is no disputing that, as there is no subsitiute for a fully optimized and well written query, but there are times that it would be nice to be able to query or resort the data set without returning to database engine. Querying against queries temporarily stored in memory (depending on Allaire's strategy) should be much faster than making another call to the db to return a partial record. In theory, which as we all know rarely emulates real life, querying a query should be faster than making an additional call to the database. At this point I guess it is up to the implementation to prove or disprove. To have a chance at making this work, Allaire may have to incorporate a complete in-memory database, in my opinion, which will make the base product more complex and potentially more fragile. Placing the entire database in memory definelty has its advantages and disadvantages. Just a thought. I could be wrong. The temperature in hell just dropped a couple of degrees ;) Cheers, Duane "The internet, they have that on computers now you know.": Homer Simpson ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Coding standards
Remember that coding standards are ways of writing good code. I write a number of articles on proper programming practices out of www.houseoffusion.com and www.fusionauthority.com. Ben Forta writes a column for CFDJ (www.coldfusionjournal.com) that includes some coding ideas as well as other info. Defusion (www.defusion.com), CFAdvisor (www.cfadvisor.com), Hal's Team Allaire site (www.teamallaire.com) and a whole lot more have articles on how to write your code well. Any coding standard is going to be (or should be) concerned with good code first.

Re: Sending e-mail in a batch
I have another solution: I send out a newsletter every day and it was starting to get too big - it would really slow down performance doing it all at once on the server. Every night, I backup a copy of the live database onto my home computer. So now, I use my home computer - which is connected to a cable modem - to run the templates that sends the newsletter, using a local copy of the database. Windows 2000 server has a built-in mail server, which was a snap to set up and worked flawlessly! The work is done on my home machine, so there is no performance hit on the production web server, database server or mail server!

RE: Shopping Cart query
Hi,
I have an application which worked fine, until sizes were introduced for
products (yeah, I know, a small oversight!). The following code snippet is
passed the appropriate parameters (id, name, price, quantity, size etc). The
code I use to add a product to the cart is as follows (sorry, its pretty
long..):
cfif not isdefined("session.cart")
cfset session.cart = structnew()
/cfif
cfset tempvalue =
listtoarray('#attributes.id#,#attributes.name#,#attributes.price#,#attribute
s.quantity#,#attributes.size#')
!---If item is not yet in cart, simply add it to the basket---
cfif structKeyExists(session.cart, attributes.name) is false
cfset tempinsert =
StructInsert(session.cart,attributes.name,tempvalue)
cfelse
!---If item is already in cart, are we doing an update?---
cfif isdefined("attributes.update")!---user has not added new
product, just changing quantity currently in cart---
cfset tempvalue[4]=attributes.quantity
cfelse!---user is adding new product to cart---
!---Just update quantity on existing product, instead of
adding a new row---
cfset
tempvalue[4]=session.cart[attributes.name][4]+attributes.quantity
/cfif
cfset tempupdate =
StructUpdate(session.cart,attributes.name,tempvalue)
/cfif
If an item is already in cart I want to check its size, if sizes are same
(eg both medium and both same product) then just update quantity (ie do not
add new product to cart). If products are same but sizes different (eg
small and a medium) then I want to add new entry in cart for this
product/size.
Hope this is clear!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Nick Betts..

OT: Javascript problem
Looking for a bit of help with some Javascript I want to use in a CF app.
I want to be able to open a popup window (TEST_POPUP.CFM), enter a value in that
window, and then submit the popup window so it changes a field in the original page
(TEST_MAIN.CFM) to the popup value and automatically submits the original page to
its action script (TEST_ACTION.CFM). I need to show the action page's results in the
original window and close the popup window.
With these 3 little test scripts, the value from the popup window appears in the input
field of the original page, but the original page doesn't get submitted to the action
page. What am I missing?

Dateadd function problems with UK locale!
Hello All,
I wonder if someone out there can help me? I am having a horrible time with
the dateadd function using UK dates, I am acquiring a date value and
increment values from a form and then incrementing other form values with
this date and increment values. My problem seems to occur when the dates
are displayed out to the form in American format with the wrong datepart
incremented, from what I can see the date is being treated as a US date and
not my locale UK. Has anyone had any similar problems or know of a solution
to this problem.
I have included below a snippet from my code as an example of the problem,

Debate: Customized weblogging vs third party tool showing my ignorance a little, I am debating which approach is better. I am interested in any insight. Basically our configuration find 3 or 4 web servers pumping out ASP content. We need to create some smart logging. Option 1. WebTrends. Need to attach session information to the logs. Option 2. Use the session management and security module to do our own logging. Create an ad hoc reporting environment for now. Power Play, Impromptu that sort of thing.

RE: Assembler.....
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Lately I wuz thinking of picking up an extra language to add to my long list of the ones I currently know ;) As most people know you can develop custom COM, CORBA, CFX other types of add-ons using alot of different languages like C++, VB, Java etc. etc. What I am wondering is if anyone out there knows if I can create COM or CFX extensions through assembly/assembler language. I know its a pretty old language but its also pretty efficient. If anyone has anything to comment about this, please do ;) I will be one extremely greatful person. I wouldn't call assembly an old language... When you think about it, it's THE language. Everything else you write in comes down to assembly in the end (or at least one step below -- the processor's machine code). As for writing COM (or windows apps in general) in assembly... It is most definitely possible. Having two or three consecutive root canals would be a WHOLE lot more fun in my opinion, but it's doable... You'd need to become intimately familiar with the various data structures and calling methods of COM and of the Windows PE EXE format. The folks at Bleem! did it for their Sony PlayStation emulator -- it's an entire Windows application stored in a single 800KB EXE file written in assembler. It's just very difficult. Chance are for your applications, writing your COM in assembly would be a waste of time. The overhead of the COM conventions would still be there. Whether it's written in assembler or VB, you still need to go through all of the motions to support COM. And given that you'll presumably be accessing your nice assembly COM from ColdFusion Let's say that CF isn't the most optimized piece of software out there, so you'd really be wasting your time. Any little bit of speed you might gain from assembler would be overshaddowed from the various lags introduced by an HTTP application server.
