Configuring CF45 for Java
Hi All, The problem I am experiencing is that I have developed a Java Applet that creates a Menu system, It works fine on the development macine with Java installed but when I check on another Machine there I get a Class not found Exception. I have assumed that this is becuase CF isn't set up to run JVM and doesnt have the necessary classes on the system. Is this true? and How do you configure the Java settings in CF4.5 so that you can utilise classes?

RE: profanity checker
cfloop query=getprofanities cfset newlist = ReplaceNoCase(bodytext, getprofanities.badword, getprofanities.rate1, ALL) /cfloop One mistake is the use of quotes. In a function, if you do Function(foo), foo is a string. But you want to use the value of getprofanities.badword, so you don't use the quotes. Try rewriting it like so: cfset newlist = ReplaceNoCase(bodytext, getprofanities.badword,getprofanities.rate1, ALL) You also don't need the getprofanities. in front of badword and rate1. Since you are looping over the query, it is implied. Another thing you may want to look out. Consider the case where Clinton is the bad word. What happens if I do: C l i n t o n Your checker won't find that word. What I've done in the past is to take the bad word and translate it into a regex that looks like this: C[[:space:]]l[[:space:]]etc This will make it match the test above.

RE: [RE: [Re: Native Drivers - Oracle80]]
Remember that each database can have multiple schemas; a schema is really just a set of tables (and indexes, triggers, etc) that belong to a user.

RE: profanity checker
It looks to me like you are setting the variable newlist equal to the form field after a replace. The problem lies mostly that every time you loop over this you reset the variable. So of the list result from the query has no matches then your variable will be equal to the original form field. The second problem I see is the variables you are passing the function. On a final note you said the administrator could set the level. I don't see a where clause in the query.

Report Solution (long)--My shared experience
Okay, all. I just spent 4 days tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to pass CF variables to a Crystal Report(8) (while hiding the db userid and password). I searched the archives and the Allaire site and noticed that many other people have been gnashing their teeth over the same topic, so I thought I would share our solution. It's not pretty, and I'm not looking forward to supporting it, but it will do until we can upgrade to 5.0. Is it just me, or does anyone else here feel like sometimes the only solution is to slap some duct tape on the problem? ;) Hopefully this will help someone else out. And, if anyone out there has any other ideas on how this could have been done, I welcome the input. So, here it is... Crystal Reports Case study Goal: To pass user-specified parameters from a ColdFusion web page to Crystal Reports for display through the user's browser. Scenario: ColdFusion Server 4.0 running on NT, IIS4 (we'll call it the CF Server) Trying to access a Crystal report (8) (we'll call it report.rpt) on a DIFFERENT server (we'll call it the report server) that is NOT running CF (IIS4 and the Crystal Reports Web Component Server). Challenge: We needed a way to access and display these reports from ColdFusion without passing the database username/password information in the source code. We also are having users enter their NT userid and password when they request a report, and we are calling an Oracle stored procedure on the CF action page to validate the id/pw. If it's valid, a session id is returned, which we need to pass to the Crystal report. Details:Our first thought was that this project would be simple because we could just pass all of our variables as either URL or hidden form variables. However, I realized that the Crystal report prompts for both a database id and password. I could not pass it as a hidden form variable, because a hidden form field is only hidden from the display, not from the source code. I then thought that we could use Encrypt() to encrypt the userid/pw and pass it in a URL or form variable. This would not work, though, because the Crystal report would have no way to decrypt it. The Encrypt() function would only have been useful to us if we were passing information from a CF page TO another CF page. Not being too familiar with Crystal Reports (I am not creating them--someone else is), I wasn't sure if Crystal Reports even has a similar Decrypt() function. So Why didn't we use the CFREPORT TAG? Well, believe me, I would have liked to. But, no matter what I did, I just could NOT get it to work. Even after combing through the archives and the Allaire site and implementing all of the suggestions, I still kept getting errors like the report server is too busy (even though I knew I was the only one on it), File does not exist or is not in a directory that is accessible to the ColdFusion service (this one happened whether I was calling the report on the report server, or whether I was calling the report from the SAME directory using an absolute path.), and a host of other errors. Final solution: We ended up creating the actual form in Coldfusion, then using another CF template for the action page. On that page, we called our stored procedure to verify that a valid employee was logging in. If not, an error is displayed indicating such. If so, then a continue button is displayed and all of the fields from the first form are carried over via hidden form fields (minus the db userid/pw). Both of these CF templates are on the CF server, of course. This form on the CF action page (that displays the continue button) submits to an ASP page that is sitting on the report server. That ASP page then passes all of the form fields from the CF page, as well as the database userid/pw to the crystal report (on the report server). TIPS: Go to www.crystaldecisions.com, and in their download area, search for ASPXMPS8. These are all of the ASP examples that you should need. Specifically, we used the SimpleSetLogonInfo.asp file as our primary example for doing this, as well as SimpleParameterFields.asp. Just rename the template and replace their database info with your own. Our variable names were Param1, Param2, Param3, etc., and we were sure to name them as such when we were passing them from the CF template. The Crystal Report will expect the parameters to come in order, so make sure that the first value that you are passing to the report (i.e. Param1) is the first prompt that would pop up in the report (after the db logon and password info). THE GOOD NEWS: According to my MM rep, CF 5.0 will provide complete support for Crystal Reports 8.0. I hope so, because I'm not looking forward to going through this for the dozen or more reports that we're going to have to call! J ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: High usage web sites.
We do. We serve about 3 million pages per day lately, with our hourly peaks usually in the 400-500K range. About half of these are CF based - ranging from very simple no-query pages to pages with a dozen queries. The most hit pages have 2-3 queries on them. Our DB server is a Sun E450 4x400MHz, 4GB RAM, Oracle 8i. Our CF Servers are 8 Dell 2300/2400 boxes. All are Dual PIII, ranging from 400 to about 600MHz. 2GB RAM each, 2x9 or 2x18GB 10K drives mirrored. They run NT4 and IIS4, CF4.51 SP2. No other software. With this setup, we're capable of about 1 million CF pages per hour, or a 4x spike over normal peak traffic. Beyond that, we switch over to more aggressive DB caching, losing freshness in the content as a result - but its worth it. These boxes are load balanced with Big/IP boxes. Most, if not all, CF Pages return in under 50ms on onloaded servers. On loaded servers (ie, at about 2x our normal peak traffic (or about 500K pages per hour)), we see 300-600ms response time on many pages. At full load (1M pages per hour), response times are in the 1-2 second range. At this point, we implement query caching on previously uncached queries, and our response time drops back under a second, as we rise to about 2M pages per hour. We can't get past 2M pages per hour (or about 70 pages per second per CF Server). As we load on clients, response time increases, but thruput remains constant. Treaking CF threads has not helped positively. Think we're just at the limit of CF for our application mix. Hope this helps.

[Re:] RE: defining french table in oracle
Hi, my problem is i have to put the french text like this one : Le revenu d'exploitation par action selon la comptabilité de caisse1, du deuxième trimestre sest établi à 0,84 $ contre 0,84 $ pour la même période de lexercice précédent into my database table. I am developing a site in which the admin section allows both english and french entries. The English version works perfect but when i try to put a french text into the oracle table, the CFQuery sent the text to the oracle table but somehow some of the french characters stored in the table column is changed. It looks like oracle has changed some of the french characters when it is stored in the column. So when CFQuery select retrieves the french text stored in the table and displayed on the web page, the text is different from the original one. I am trying to use SQL Plus to insert a french text but an error ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated returns. I believe it is because of the existing single quotes in the french text which screw up the SQL insert statement. Anyone has any idea to deal with this kind of problems ?

RE: Report Solution (long)--My shared experience
Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I had this solution but chose not to post it for fear of all the ASP flames. We were presented with a similar problem and resolved it much the same way. We were faced with an additional problem in that we had an integrated security system which was handled through the application.cfm. We addressed this problem by setting a flag and capturing the users ipaddress in the database prior to the page that calls asp report file. When the user returns to the cold fusion pages after the report the first item of business is was to check the flag and ipaddress. If they didn't match then we booted them. Finally we ran a scheduled stored procedure on the database to check the flag and if it remained for more then a set period of time it was reset. On a final note. CF 5.0 may not resolve your problem. In a response from Ben Forta he indicated that the cfreport tag will return html only. This is fine if this is what you want. We on the other hand required the crystal activex viewer. Maybe Ben could chime in on this and give us a confirmation.

I searched the archives and the Allaire site and noticed that many other people have been gnashing their teeth over the same topic, so I thought I would share our solution. It's not pretty, and I'm not looking forward to supporting it, but it will do until we can upgrade to 5.0. Is it just me, or does anyone else here feel like sometimes the only solution is to slap some duct tape on the problem? ;) Hopefully this will help someone else out. And, if anyone out there has any other ideas on how this could have been done, I welcome the input. So, here it is... Crystal Reports Case study Goal: To pass user-specified parameters from a ColdFusion web page to Crystal Reports for display through the user's browser. Scenario: ColdFusion Server 4.0 running on NT, IIS4 (we'll call it the CF Server) Trying to access a Crystal report (8) (we'll call it report.rpt) on a DIFFERENT server (we'll call it the report server) that is NOT running CF (IIS4 and the Crystal Reports Web Component Server). Challenge: We needed a way to access and display these reports from ColdFusion without passing the database username/password information in the source code. We also are having users enter their NT userid and password when they request a report, and we are calling an Oracle stored procedure on the CF action page to validate the id/pw. If it's valid, a session id is returned, which we need to pass to the Crystal report. Details:Our first thought was that this project would be simple because we could just pass all of our variables as either URL or hidden form variables. However, I realized that the Crystal report prompts for both a database id and password. I could not pass it as a hidden form variable, because a hidden form field is only hidden from the display, not from the source code. I then thought that we could use Encrypt() to encrypt the userid/pw and pass it in a URL or form variable. This would not work, though, because the Crystal report would have no way to decrypt it. The Encrypt() function would only have been useful to us if we were passing information from a CF page TO another CF page. Not being too familiar with Crystal Reports (I am not creating them--someone else is), I wasn't sure if Crystal Reports even has a similar Decrypt() function. So Why didn't we use the CFREPORT TAG? Well, believe me, I would have liked to. But, no matter what I did, I just could NOT get it to work. Even after combing through the archives and the Allaire site and implementing all of the suggestions, I still kept getting errors like the report server is too busy (even though I knew I was the only one on it), File does not exist or is not in a directory that is accessible to the ColdFusion service (this one happened whether I was calling the report on the report server, or whether I was calling the report from the SAME directory using an absolute path.), and a host of other errors. Final solution: We ended up creating the actual form in Coldfusion, then using another CF template for the action page. On that page, we called our stored procedure to verify that a valid employee was logging in. If not, an error is displayed indicating such. If so, then a continue button is displayed and all of the fields from the first form are carried over via hidden form fields (minus the db userid/pw). Both of these CF templates are on the CF server, of course. This form on the CF action page (that displays the continue button) submits to an ASP page that is sitting on the report server. That ASP page

RE: CF-Notes database connection
Lloyd, Lotus has a product called LEI that you can use to query data from ODBC data sources (SELECT, INSERT, etc.). We use it in some of our Notes apps to get data from our AS400 as well as a SQL server. Best regards, Rob Thanks to everyone who responded. It is disappointing that no one has had any success in doing what we are needing to do, which is exchanging data between Notes and our SQL Server database. We just wanted to get names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. out of our db and into the Notes Personal Address Book for our sales people to download into their Palms. Sounds like a simple thing, but I guess we'll have to wait for Bill to buy and kill Notes before we can get this app written. If anyone has any other ideas, we'd like to hear them. BTW, I did hear about ZMerge and have downloaded an eval. If it works I'll repost and let everyone know about it. Thanks again, Loyd Campbell Bank One International Corp.

RE: Report Solution (long)--My shared experience
hmmm. Good question. Yes, I suppose they could do that. Depending on how you set up your Crystal Report, however, you probably could make it more difficult for them to 'guess' what fields the report is expecting. For example, this is what my final CF page has in the source code: FORM NAME=continue ACTION=http://our.report.server.com/callreport.asp; METHOD=POST onSubmit=return _CF_checkcontinue(this) input type=hidden name=reportname value=whatever.rpt input type=hidden name=DSN value=yourDSN input type=hidden name=DB_SID value=yourdbschema input type=hidden name=param1 value=firstReportPrompt input type=hidden name=param2 value=1001 input type=hidden name=param3 value=0902 input type=hidden name=param4 value=1 input type=hidden name=param5 value=1 input type=hidden name=param6 value=1 input type=hidden name=param7 value= input type=hidden name=param8 value= input type=hidden name=param9 value=ALL input type=hidden name=param10 value=ALL Since the prompt values are being passed from a template, the report will not prompt the user for any of the needed values when the report displays in the browser. So, even though they may see in the source code that param2 is 1001, they may not figure out that the report is requesting (in MMYY format), the start of the fiscal year for the year that the user chose from the form dropdown list (in this case, 2001). Likewise, there is logic in my CF page to determine the end of the fiscal year, based on their choice (2001) from the previous page. See what I mean? Likewise, for param9/10, they would have no idea what ALL indicates, nor would they be able to guess what the other possible values would be. In our case, however, we are granting access to any employee to run any report (hey, I don't call the shots--that's how the group asked me to build it :), so we aren't too concerned with people taking the time to do something like that. The only reason that we are asking for an NT id and password is just so that we can validate that it is, in fact, a valid employee logging on. We may change this somewhere down the line and actually restrict access to certain reports, I don't know. Our whole concern with not exposing the db id/pw was because we didn't want people to be able to bypass reports and gain access to the actual Oracle db. If we DO end up restricting access based on groups somewhere down the road, I will be sure to post an update! :) Good luck!

Re: High usage web sites.
Over 50ms from a cached query? That sounds kinda high to me. Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, I'm measuring from the page processing time in the DEBUG info for that page, not what the load generator or anything else is telling me. What other operations are you doing on the data. If I'm pulling info from a cached query and dumping it into a table (and that's about it), then I'm almost always under 50ms. Do you have a lot of other application overhead in an Application.cfm file or anything? We don't use a lot of custom tags, as there seems to be about a 10-20ms overhead for each entry into a custom tag. I figure this is from setting up scopes, etc. Not sure if CF5 has alleviated any of that. Paul Smith wrote: Nice posting. Thanks! The following (50ms) appears low to me. (But what do I know?)

Re: EnableCFoutputOnly not cutting the mustard in Custom Tag
Patricia and others, Thanks for your replies, everyone. Patricia's solution is the sort of answer I was looking for. I didn't want to use a trimmed caller variable, as doing so is three times more complicated than just getting the results via the custom tag itself. Fine for me, but I intend this to be used by others in my company, and the simpler the usage the better. So, I can use: cf_MyCustomTag Instead of : cf_MyCustomTag cfoutput#trim(myCallerVariable)#/cfoutput See the value in this? Hope it helps someone else. There is a way for my tag to set a caller variable, however, without automatically outputting the custom tags result in place of the custom tag call: cf_MyCustomTag returnOutput=No cfoutput#myCallerVariable#/cfoutput !--- this doesn't need a trim, since it's not the variable itself that had been getting the extra spaces --- The returnOutput is an optional attribute in my tag, and you omit it to return the value in place of the custom tag call itself.

(correct me if I'm wrong, I read this awhile ago and my memory isn't so good anymore ;-) I'd bet CF would use more resources, generally CF does use more constant memory resources, because it holds DB connections for applications and usually session/server/application variables. Perl is unlikely to do so, as most web application servers frown on holding on to DB connections, because it's usually the programmers code not the web application servers code that 'hold' the connections, and are usually implemented... in not the best fashion. However, while it is using more memory, it also gains speed because of this. Easy application session management means it's more likely to be used which'd mean faster access to such resources (shared information), and the DB connections don't have to be opened/closed all the time, and can be limited to strict number. Speed wise, I'd think CF would be quicker if Perl doesn't keep a cache of requested files... As for on-request memory, I'd think each request would demand more memory for Perl... reasoning: the libraries used and the methods Perl programmers would probably use. cf_outburstie.

Re: High usage web sites.

We do. We serve about 3 million pages per day lately, with our hourly peaks usually in the 400-500K range. About half of these are CF based - ranging from very simple no-query pages to pages with a dozen queries. The most hit pages have 2-3 queries on them. Our DB server is a Sun E450 4x400MHz, 4GB RAM, Oracle 8i. Our CF Servers are 8 Dell 2300/2400 boxes. All are Dual PIII, ranging from 400 to about 600MHz. 2GB RAM each, 2x9 or 2x18GB 10K drives mirrored. They run NT4 and IIS4, CF4.51 SP2. No other software. With this setup, we're capable of about 1 million CF pages per hour, or a 4x spike over normal peak traffic. Beyond that, we switch over to more aggressive DB caching, losing freshness in the content as a result - but its worth it. These boxes are load balanced with Big/IP boxes. Most, if not all, CF Pages return in under 50ms on onloaded servers. On loaded servers (ie, at about 2x our normal peak traffic (or about 500K pages per hour)), we see 300-600ms response time on many pages. At full load (1M pages per hour), response times are in the 1-2 second range. At this point, we implement query caching on previously uncached queries, and our response time drops back under a second, as we rise to about 2M pages per hour. We can't get past 2M pages per hour (or about 70 pages per second per CF Server). As we load on clients, response time increases, but thruput remains constant. Treaking CF threads has not helped positively. Think we're just at the limit of CF for our application mix. Hope this helps.

You may want to skip picking up a book on the old VB and concentrate on learning the new stuff. Microsofts site is a great place to start though. bigfatsegue The whole dotNet thing is very interesting... Microsofts try at interpreted code, like java. Which leads me to think back to Macromedia's repeatedly saying dotNet in the press release that they were commited to dotNet. It isn't too far of a stretch to say that Neo may be ported to dotNet, and specifically C#, which is basically java anyway. The more I think about it, the more I think it's a no brainer for Macromedia to do a C# port. It will probably run much faster on Windows.

RE: Configuring CF45 for Java
The problem I am experiencing is that I have developed a Java Applet that creates a Menu system, It works fine on the development macine with Java installed but when I check on another Machine there I get a Class not found Exception. I have assumed that this is becuase CF isn't set up to run JVM and doesnt have the necessary classes on the system. Is this true? I'm a bit confused.

We do. We serve about 3 million pages per day lately, with our hourly peaks usually in the 400-500K range. About half of these are CF based - ranging from very simple no-query pages to pages with a dozen queries. The most hit pages have 2-3 queries on them. Our DB server is a Sun E450 4x400MHz, 4GB RAM, Oracle 8i. Our CF Servers are 8 Dell 2300/2400 boxes. All are Dual PIII, ranging from 400 to about 600MHz. 2GB RAM each, 2x9 or 2x18GB 10K drives mirrored. They run NT4 and IIS4, CF4.51 SP2. No other software. With this setup, we're capable of about 1 million CF pages per hour, or a 4x spike over normal peak traffic. Beyond that, we switch over to more aggressive DB caching, losing freshness in the content as a result - but its worth it. These boxes are load balanced with Big/IP boxes. Most, if not all, CF Pages return in under 50ms on onloaded servers. On loaded servers (ie, at about 2x our normal peak traffic (or about 500K pages per hour)), we see 300-600ms response time on many pages. At full load (1M pages per hour), response times are in the 1-2 second range. At this point, we implement query caching on previously uncached queries, and our response time drops back under a second, as we rise to about 2M pages per hour. We can't get past 2M pages per hour (or about 70 pages per second per CF Server). As we load on clients, response time increases, but thruput remains constant. Treaking CF threads has not helped positively. Think we're just at the limit of CF for our application mix. Hope this helps.

RE: Best way to limit access to a specific template from only previous template?
There are probably a few ways you can do this. 1) You can check cgi.http_referer(check my spelling on that). It returns the URL of the page where you came from. 2) Don't have a page2.cfm! Have page1.cfm link to itself, and if the proper URL variable is returned, you can CFINCLUDE the contents of page2. Of course, someone could bookmark the new url, ie, page1.cfm?load2=1. You could use a form on page 1, and if IsDefined(Form.LoadPage2) is defined, then load page 2. That would stop people from bookmarking page2 (at least as far as I know), but it wouldn't prevent someone from putting the form on a different page and doing ACTION=yourserver/page1.cfm. Ditto for the URL solution. 3) Maybe set asession var on page1, and if it doesn't exist on page2, push them back? Of course, people could still link to page2, but their link would only work if the user had actually gone to page1 sometime in the last X minutes, where X is your sessiontimeout.

RE: Report Solution (long)--My shared experience
I don't understand your point here. Could you explain in more detail, pleas? best, paul At 01:27 PM 5/18/01 +, you wrote: hmmm. Good question. Yes, I suppose they could do that. Depending on how you set up your Crystal Report, however, you probably could make it more difficult for them to 'guess' what fields the report is expecting. For example, this is what my final CF page has in the source code: FORM NAME=continue ACTION=http://our.report.server.com/callreport.asp; METHOD=POST onSubmit=return _CF_checkcontinue(this) input type=hidden name=reportname value=whatever.rpt input type=hidden name=DSN value=yourDSN input type=hidden name=DB_SID value=yourdbschema input type=hidden name=param1 value=firstReportPrompt input type=hidden name=param2 value=1001 input type=hidden name=param3 value=0902 input type=hidden name=param4 value=1 input type=hidden name=param5 value=1 input type=hidden name=param6 value=1 input type=hidden name=param7 value= input type=hidden name=param8 value= input type=hidden name=param9 value=ALL input type=hidden name=param10 value=ALL Since the prompt values are being passed from a template, the report will not prompt the user for any of the needed values when the report displays in the browser. So, even though they may see in the source code that param2 is 1001, they may not figure out that the report is requesting (in MMYY format), the start of the fiscal year for the year that the user chose from the form dropdown list (in this case, 2001). Likewise, there is logic in my CF page to determine the end of the fiscal year, based on their choice (2001) from the previous page. See what I mean? Likewise, for param9/10, they would have no idea what ALL indicates, nor would they be able to guess what the other possible values would be. In our case, however, we are granting access to any employee to run any report (hey, I don't call the shots--that's how the group asked me to build it :), so we aren't too concerned with people taking the time to do something like that. The only reason that we are asking for an NT id and password is just so that we can validate that it is, in fact, a valid employee logging on. We may change this somewhere down the line and actually restrict access to certain reports, I don't know. Our whole concern with not exposing the db id/pw was because we didn't want people to be able to bypass reports and gain access to the actual Oracle db. If we DO end up restricting access based on groups somewhere down the road, I will be sure to post an update! :) Good luck!

Re: Problems with inserting a date fields (Using Native Driver, AS/400)
My guess is either date_closed can not be null in the DB or NULL is not the correct
way to insert a null value into your particular DB. Try running the insert sql
statement thru a DB tool ... Query Analyzer for MS-SQL ... and resolve the problem
there. Then move back to CF.
Good luck,

RE: Report Solution (long)--My shared experience
Sure. If you have a Crystal Report that is accessed directly through a URL, and not by passing parameters via a web page, and that Crystal Report expects certain input from a user, Crystal Reports will display a series of javascript-like prompts for the user to fill in. So, for example, one of the reports we have might have a series of prompts starting with group name to report on, start month for the fiscal year, end month for the fiscal year, etc. One all of the parameters have been supplied, the report will run. Since we are accessing the Crystal Report via a web page, those parameters are passed automatically from the page to the Crystal Report, so the user is never prompted for them (they would instead be asked for the information from the web page itself). In my situation, my web form only asks for 4 pieces of information: the group to report on, the fiscal year to report on, and the user's NT id and password. In the source code, all of the paramters (ten, in my case) are listed as param1, param2, param3, etc. It just so happens that for param1, I assign the value of #form.group#, because the Crystal report is expecting the group name to be supplied first. Param2 and Param3 are the start month and end month for the fiscal year that the user chose from a dropdown list labled fiscal year. We'll assume they chose 2001 in this case. In my action page, I use CF functions to take the year 2001 and determine the start and end of that fiscal year (1001 and 0902, in MMYY format). So in the source code you see param2=1001 and param3=0902. The user may be able to look at the source code and see what these values are, but they don't know what I've done to arrive at those numbers or what they stand for. In addition, I have several other hidden fields in that CF template that were not provided by the user's input. So if they looked at the source code, they don't know what param4=1 means, or how it changes the report. Now, I am not suggesting in any way that the users would not be able to figure this out, or that they would not be able to just copy and paste the hidden fields as is to generate a report. Sure they could. But, in my case, if they have made it this far to where they are able to view the source code for this page, then they have been granted access to this report anyway. It's important to note that I am dealing strictly with an inTRAnet here, so I'm not as concerned about security hacks. Our biggest concern was hiding the db username and password. I'm pretty sparse on my knowledge of Crystal Reports, but I wonder if you could also specify in the Crystal Report a specific user name and password? I dunno. I'm not sure of the capabilities of Crystal Reports. HTH :) Terri Original Message Follows From: Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Report Solution (long)--My shared experience Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 10:06:51 -0700 I don't understand your point here. Could you explain in more detail, pleas? best, paul At 01:27 PM 5/18/01 +, you wrote: hmmm. Good question. Yes, I suppose they could do that. Depending on how you set up your Crystal Report, however, you probably could make it more difficult for them to 'guess' what fields the report is expecting. For example, this is what my final CF page has in the source code: FORM NAME=continue ACTION=http://our.report.server.com/callreport.asp; METHOD=POST onSubmit=return _CF_checkcontinue(this) input type=hidden name=reportname value=whatever.rpt input type=hidden name=DSN value=yourDSN input type=hidden name=DB_SID value=yourdbschema input type=hidden name=param1 value=firstReportPrompt input type=hidden name=param2 value=1001 input type=hidden name=param3 value=0902 input type=hidden name=param4 value=1 input type=hidden name=param5 value=1 input type=hidden name=param6 value=1 input type=hidden name=param7 value= input type=hidden name=param8 value= input type=hidden name=param9 value=ALL input type=hidden name=param10 value=ALL Since the prompt values are being passed from a template, the report will not prompt the user for any of the needed values when the report displays in the browser. So, even though they may see in the source code that param2 is 1001, they may not figure out that the report is requesting (in MMYY format), the start of the fiscal year for the year that the user chose from the form dropdown list (in this case, 2001). Likewise, there is logic in my CF page to determine the end of the fiscal year, based on their choice (2001) from the previous page. See what I mean? Likewise, for param9/10, they would have no idea what ALL indicates, nor would they be able to guess what the other possible values would be. In our case, however, we are granting access to any employee to run any report (hey, I don't call the shots--that's how the group asked me to

Deep Into Oracle 8.0.5
I am deeper into Oracle 8.0.5 than I wish to be...but I know someone here can help me. Currently, I have an application that connects to Oracle using Native Drivers. Recently, I have noticed that when I view Oracle Sessions (using Oracle Tools, Instance Manager), when I close my browser session, the Oracle connection that was opened by ColdFusion remains INACTIVE for an hour or more. Does anyone know how to kill the Oracle SessionID that is created when a user logs out of a ColdFusion application? I am using Coldfusion 4.5 SP2, Windows 2K SP1, with Oracle 8.0.5 on a different box. Hopefully, those of you who can help me understand my question. I don't know how else to word it.

If I deselect this box, will multiple sessions be opened each time a query is executed on a page during a user's session? Obviously, I'm lost.

Re: EnableCFoutputOnly not cutting the mustard in Custom Tag
I didn't want to use a trimmed caller variable, as doing so is three times more complicated than just getting the results via the custom tag itself. Fine for me, but I intend this to be used by others in my company, and the simpler the usage the better. So, I can use: cf_MyCustomTag Instead of : cf_MyCustomTag cfoutput#trim(myCallerVariable)#/cfoutput See the value in this? No. If you don't want white space around the returned string then there's no reason it should be returned by the custom tag! Trim it within the tag. Also, for maximum flexibility (and safety) you should pass in the name of the caller variable, rather than using a predetermined name. cf_MyCustomTag inputstuff=48 variable=myVariable cfoutput#myVariable#/cfoutput Your custom tag then does something like: cfparam name=variable !--- processing to arrive at a value within the internal variable called 'returnvalue' ... --- cfset temp = SetVariable(caller.#attributes.variable#, Trim(returnvalue)) Jim ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: IIS4 Log file
The only log format that has the Extended Properties tab is the W3C Extended log format and if memory serves this format is not comma delimited. Both computers are setup to use the IIS Log Format and that format does not have an extended properties tab. So it is kind of strange that they dont log the same.

RE: Deep Into Oracle 8.0.5
In CF Admin for a particular datasource there is a setting maintain database connections and another setting Connection timeout. If you check maintain database connections, then CF will keep a connection to the database open for as long as connection timeout after its last use. So if you have page1.cfm and page2.cfm, both accessing the datasource MyOracle, and a user runs page1 and a few minutes later runs page2, the CF server will reuse the connection it made to run queries for page1 in order to run queries for page2. If connection timeout minutes pass with no use of a given connection the CF server will close that connection. Make sense? -Original Message- From: Debbie McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 18, 2001 1:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Deep Into Oracle 8.0.5 I am deeper into Oracle 8.0.5 than I wish to be...but I know someone here can help me. Currently, I have an application that connects to Oracle using Native Drivers. Recently, I have noticed that when I view Oracle Sessions (using Oracle Tools, Instance Manager), when I close my browser session, the Oracle connection that was opened by ColdFusion remains INACTIVE for an hour or more. Does anyone know how to kill the Oracle SessionID that is created when a user logs out of a ColdFusion application?

RE: How do I create Boolean field with create table in access?
Access has a yes/no type that you can use as a Boolean-esque field. Checking for Yes/No and I think you can check for existence as the yes as well. Not sure on the last part. Hope that helps. J.

rebuilding mod_coldfusion
I probably have a very simple question but I have not been able to find the answer anywhere. I want to rebuild the mod_coldfusion.so file but it keeps returning an error as follows: apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=255 Does anybody know what the problem is?

Re: How do I create Boolean field with create table in access?
It's called a Yes/No field in Access. Access will take either 1/0 or True/False values. Use 1/0 to maintain compatibility with MS SQL Server. Internally, I think it's stored at 0 and -1, go figure.
