Fusebox and CFMX was RE: Switching to CFMX
Sean, thanks for all your informative and very helpful posts. I started using CF in 1996 and Fusebox opened up all sorts of great things to pre CFMX ColdFusion. I know there are many luminaries who dislike Fusebox no doubt for good reason within their own well-structured company's/worlds, people for whom I have the utmost respect. For our operation Fusebox made ColdFusion very understandable fairly quickly for those whom had not used CF previously. It also added a level of legitimacy to ColdFusion in many hallowed halls (not that CF needed legitimacy but perception is powerful). Like you I look forward to Fuseboxes next iteration with great anticipation, I know the great minds behind Fusebox are carving out even greater things thanks to CFMX. Things just keep getting more exciting and bountiful.

RE: Fusebox and CFMX was RE: Switching to CFMX
I hope I did not give the impression that I dislike fusebox - because I like fusebox. I am by default a Java programmer, and fusebox added a tasty OO flavor to CF. It does appear the MX will now natively do most of what fusebox set out to do - which is the main reason for our switch. In conclusion, Fusebox = good Java 64k method limit = bad (JSP and Cocoon suffer from this as well) :) Rob -Original Message- From: Mike Brunt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 4:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Fusebox and CFMX was RE: Switching to CFMX Sean, thanks for all your informative and very helpful posts.

The problem is that if you have: cfset v = _some_expression_that_renders_Java_null_ whenever you try to use 'v', CF will helpfully tell you that no such variable is defined! :( If you do this: cfset x.v = _some_null_expression_ then you'll find that structKeyExists(x,v) is true (as expected) but isDefined(x.v) is false and, indeed, if you try to use x.v CF will again tell you it is undefined and / or raise a null pointer exception (because it tries, unsuccessfully, to map the variable's (null) value to a valid CF type in order to do something with it!). I spent several hours trying to persuade CF to do something useful with a null variable and finally gave up. If anyone else is successful, I'd love to see the code!

Re: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...)
Sorry, jumping in late here... I did some performance testing recently too see if it was faster to CFINCLUDE a UDF library containing 50 UDFs, or instantiate a CFC with the same 50 CFCs as methods. The results were that the CFINCLUDE was substantially faster on initial page load and all subsequent page loads. As a side note, I tested CFML tag based UDFs vs. CFSCRIPT based UDFs too, and the CFSCRIPT UDFs executed slightly faster than their tag based cousins. -Rob Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 10:26:29 +0200 From: Benoit Hediard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...) Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree with you Raymond. But it is true that is more personal preference/coding style terms than performance/architecture terms. This are my personal rules : CUSTOM TAGS (ColdFusion Taglibs) - custom tags encapsulates presentation logic they always output content (usually HTML), - custom tags usually do not call the model or controller layer, - custom tags are only used by the presentation layer (page or pagelet scripts). They are used for presentation logic encapsulation.

COLDFUSION COMPONENTS (CFC) - components encapsulate business/data access application logic and never output content, - components are called by the view layer only to read data, - components are called by the controller layer to create/update/delete data.

Re: OT: ASP help
Set up a CF server and then use CFHTTP to download the content from the ASP server and then CFFILE to save it to disk. Can even use free CF Developer edition for this. ASP equivalent would be using WinHttp.WinHttpRequest and Scripting.FileSystemObject. Also remember you have to fix your links.

RE: Switching to CFMX
Unfortunately though, Rob's really long index doesn't appear to use Fusebox 3's core file, which I assume, is the complex machinery you mention, Sean. In pre-FB3, there is very little to no machinery used, so long cfswitch statements are the result of the poor design of whoever wrote unfortunate Rob's code, not some implied Fusebox architectural path. But that's not to say there aren't certain aspects of FB3's machinery that I'm looking forward to optimizing towards OO/CFCs/Java :) I have encountered this same limitation in CFMX/Java in a really long custom tag written by (surprise) someone else. Sean, do you know if this (64k) limitation is something that can be addressed by Macromedia? Or is it inherent to Java? Or... ?

It adds a whole layer of abstraction, but seems to work.

Re: Using Java nulls in CF?
Actually I didn't even think of using isDefined(), and I think
you answered my question without knowing it :).
All I really wanted to do was use java's readLine() method, but
readLine returns a null when the last line has been read. So I stuck
isDefined() in there an voila! It worked.
cfscript
fr = createObject(java, java.io.FileReader);
br = createObject(java, java.io.BufferedReader);
fr.init(filename);
br.init(fr);
line = br.readLine();
while (isDefined(line)) {
writeOutput(line 'br');
line = br.readLine();
}
fr.close();
br.close();
/cfscript
Now I'm going to see if this is any faster than looping over line
breaks in a string. I hope so after all I tried to get this to work :)

SAC It is possible to create a Java null in a CF variable (with some
SAC chicanery) but CF then prevents you from using said variable in any
SAC useful manner...
SAC The problem is that if you have:
SAC cfset v = _some_expression_that_renders_Java_null_
SAC whenever you try to use 'v', CF will helpfully tell you that no such
SAC variable is defined! :(
SAC If you do this:
SAC cfset x.v = _some_null_expression_
SAC then you'll find that structKeyExists(x,v) is true (as expected) but
SAC isDefined(x.v) is false and, indeed, if you try to use x.v CF will
SAC again tell you it is undefined and / or raise a null pointer exception
SAC (because it tries, unsuccessfully, to map the variable's (null) value
SAC to a valid CF type in order to do something with it!).
SAC I spent several hours trying to persuade CF to do something useful with
SAC a null variable and finally gave up. If anyone else is successful, I'd
SAC love to see the code!

SQL Text question from a beginner
I am new to web development (if I can call what I am doing web development) and have a sql question and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have put together this data driven website and found access to be insufficient to hold as much text as I wished in a description field. Thus I moved to sql, but am finding the 4000 character limitation for varchar to be a hindrance and not much better than the 255 character limit in access. I found a link a couple minutes ago basically stating I was pretty much limited to 8000 characters no matter the data type I pick save for some concatenation maneuver. So I am wondering how I can just put a blob of text into the database. I can't be the only guy who wants to store a couple pages of text in a field in a database so that it can be queried to populate a web page can I? On it's face it would seem that if I should be able to define my own data type to accommodate my needs? What is the right direction? Thanks, John __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

percent faster than the old standby looping over the file as a string

Help please!! - Adding Email Alert functionality to a site
We've been asked to add email alert functionality to a clients web site. The client is a recruitment company and wants to maintain a list of prospective candidates that can be automatically alerted when the company has new job openings. The clients wants to be able to manually add / remove names to the email list and to enable new job seekers to add themselves or modify their settings through their web site. The settings will be quite simple, a new job seeker can specify to receive alerts for 1) Software development jobs 2) Management jobs 3) all jobs When the recruitment company has a new job requirement they will type it up, assign it to a category, and then have an option to send it out to all the prospective job seekers who have requested for alerts in that category. Before the emails are sent out the company wants a list of all the recipients so that they can manually delete or add people from the list before the mailing is kicked off. I realize this is a simple project and there are numerous ways to get this done. What I'm looking are suggestions on how to get this done very quickly ( 2 week time line) I also want to know if there is an existing product we can buy which with some customization can achieve this for us.

CF Mail Problem..
Hello Forum,
Need Help.
I am trying to send data generated by a query using CFMAIL tag to a
recepient whose email is obtained from a Form.
However Instead of including and sending only one email containing all the
rows returned by the query to the email address obtained from the Form in
the previous page CFMAIL is sending multiple emails to the same email
address
--one email for each record generate from the query. Thus each email
contains only one seperate record.
I cant understand why?
The recepient email address comes from the Form. The contents of the email
is generated by the db query.
Any help will be much appreciated.
This is my code:
CFQUERY name= Get_Products DataSource=XYZ
Select * FROM Products WHERE product id=#Form.productid#
/CFQUERY
cfmail query=Get_Products
to=#Form.Email_Address#
from=myemail.com
subject=Product
type=HTML
!--- The variables #productid# and #Email_Address# come from the Previous
Page (Form.cfm).
Table
TR
TD Productid: Get_Products.productid BR /TD
TDDetails: Get_Products.details BR /TD
TDModel : Get_Products.modelno BR /TD
/TR
/Table
/cfmail
The purpose is to send more details about the product selected by the user
in the Form.cfm Page.
Thanks
Srimanta

The one way saves memory, the other way theoretically might allow you to modify a method of one component on the fly without altering the definition of the CFC. Each instance has a public data member which is the 'pointer' to the function but the actual function code is shared between all instances. What that means is if you have a CFC with 20 public methods, then each instance will contain 20 'pointers' to that code. Awesome... Much more efficient this way. :) And the functionality which is potentially lost is something that would see very little use anyhow -- ( and I think liable to be problematic and cause confusion, so probably best avoided anyway ) ... but I was curious about the way it was implemented. This was what I suspected... my Tapestry cms currently works on a very similar model in CF 5 using libraries of custom tags as the methods, and structure elements as pointers where the key is the name of the method and the value being a relative path to the custom tag, which allows the methods to be inherited from parent classes. Good to know there's a parallel there, even if it's not necessarily practical knowledge. :) Isaac Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
