Re: UPS web services and CFMX
Ok now this is twice someone has said UPS has a web service api. I just double checked and on this page http://www.ec.ups.com/ecommerce/techdocs/online_tools.html they list all of their XML API's. I looked around, and downloaded the tracking and rate selection docs again, even though they haven't been updated since I memorized them earlier this year. There is no mention of SOAP anywhere that I can see. Is there something I am overlooking?

Which means you can't allow the stored procedure to use its defaults. In my case most of my stored procedures use NULL for any defaults, so passing null="yes" in the is equivalent, however, if I used "bilbo" as a default for instance, I'd have to pass "bilbo" as the value, which thoroughly defeats the purpose of having a default in my stored procedure and makes my job that much harder if that "default" value ever changes. > Also, what is the deal with cfquery in CFMX?

Either way, > all of our stored > procedure calls that are made in cfquery tags seem to be > working fine. Hmmm... do many of your stored procedures return a recordset? That's the only issue really, so if you only use the stored procs to perform inserts and updates and aren't concerned with getting a recordset back, there wouldn't be any reason to notice the difference. Otherwise, you may be using the ODBC socket -- I wouldn't know, I've been too busy with recent updates and preparing for MX to actually install MX and work with it much. I suppose it's possible MM could have found a way to change the behavior with the JDBC drivers in the recent MX update though again I wouldn't know. > Personally, I have always preferred the cfquery tag over > the cfstoredproc > for the simple reason that you get real error messages > back and not just > "Unknown Data Access Error". Not to mention all that extra typing. :) Though iirc, it does have some other advantages in that I believe it's supposed to help speed up processing of stored procedures ( I wonder if this is done by not naming parameters ;P ) and it insulates the procedure from unlikely sql insertion attacks and issues with data insertion, like the \ on MySQL ( although current versions of MySQL don't support stored procedures ) being a special character that doesn't know to account for. Of course, much of this can also be accomplished with in a stored procedure called with so my biggest gripes are the lack of ability to use db defined defaults and the fact that it's completely undocumented anywhere on MM's site ( actually the documentation says that the dbvarname attribute is supposed to be the name of the parameter in the stored procedure, which you might be able to weasel out of saying is an out and out lie, but it's certainly seems to indicate that the order of parameters shouldn't matter ) and since I may not necessarily be the only developer who ever touches my code there's a good chance at some point that I'm going to have to field technical support calls or emails in which I'll have to explain this whole debacle over again.

This test was written with the intention of confirming that simple values either do or do not get passed by reference in a tag, however, my cf server seems to not be working, so I can't perform the test, because it's not producing the expected error from variable accesses which are definitely improperly locked. application.a = "hello world"; application.b = structnew(); application.b.c = "hello world"; application.b.d = structnew(); application.b.d.e = "hello world"; application.a = #request.a# application.b.c = #request.b.c# application.b.d.e = #request.b.d.e# After running this, outputting #request.b.d.e# at the bottom should produce an error since request.b is supposed to be a pointer reference to application.b and therefore request.b.d.e should be in the application scope and not properly locked. For that matter, request.b.c should be in the application scope as well, so both of these should produce an error, but neither are on my machine, even though full-checking is turned on in the CF admin. In any event, if it errors on request.b.c or request.b.d.e but not on request.a then this confirms that simple values are not passed as pointer references but as literal strings.

should be something like:
function GetFileLength(filename){
file = createObject('java', 'java.io.File');
file.init(filename);
return file.length();
}
Very simular functions can be made for CanRead, CanWrite, delete,
exists,isDirectory, isFile, lastModified, renameTo, setLastModified,
setReadOnly.
Maybe I'm up to it tonight. If I am, I'll sumbit them to the cflib.

My client was required to be shipping a minimum of 50 packages a day to get access to the full online shipping system, we had to certify a ton of code and database stuff, as well as an onsite visit to the company. They are very serious about allowing access to their servers, which I do understand to some degree. I want those systems up and not bogged down by bad stuff, my client would be very unhappy. I think though, if you were to include in applications and it was encrypted, you might have better luck. Now if this is just for tracking, come on UPS. If its out there and can be modified without strict regulation and a big free for all exists outside of their licensing, they feel they risk their services to all their customers.

RE: cfstoredproc behavior
Yes, many of my stored procedures return recordsets and are working just fine. I think not being able to return recordsets would be a HUGE limitation. I can't imagine that this would be the case. Again, when I created my datasouce I chose the SQL Server datasource type from the drop down menu. There is no mention of whether or not it is a JDBC, but I tend to believe it is because ODBC Socket was another option also on the drop down list. Can anyone else confirm or deny this behavior?

Which means you can't allow the stored procedure to use its defaults. In my case most of my stored procedures use NULL for any defaults, so passing null="yes" in the is equivalent, however, if I used "bilbo" as a default for instance, I'd have to pass "bilbo" as the value, which thoroughly defeats the purpose of having a default in my stored procedure and makes my job that much harder if that "default" value ever changes. > Also, what is the deal with cfquery in CFMX?

Either way, > all of our stored > procedure calls that are made in cfquery tags seem to be > working fine. Hmmm... do many of your stored procedures return a recordset? That's the only issue really, so if you only use the stored procs to perform inserts and updates and aren't concerned with getting a recordset back, there wouldn't be any reason to notice the difference. Otherwise, you may be using the ODBC socket -- I wouldn't know, I've been too busy with recent updates and preparing for MX to actually install MX and work with it much. I suppose it's possible MM could have found a way to change the behavior with the JDBC drivers in the recent MX update though again I wouldn't know. > Personally, I have always preferred the cfquery tag over > the cfstoredproc > for the simple reason that you get real error messages > back and not just > "Unknown Data Access Error". Not to mention all that extra typing. :) Though iirc, it does have some other advantages in that I believe it's supposed to help speed up processing of stored procedures ( I wonder if this is done by not naming parameters ;P ) and it insulates the procedure from unlikely sql insertion attacks and issues with data insertion, like the \ on MySQL ( although current versions of MySQL don't support stored procedures ) being a special character that doesn't know to account for. Of course, much of this can also be accomplished with in a stored procedure called with so my biggest gripes are the lack of ability to use db defined defaults and the fact that it's completely undocumented anywhere on MM's site ( actually the documentation says that the dbvarname attribute is supposed to be the name of the parameter in the stored procedure, which you might be able to weasel out of saying is an out and out lie, but it's certainly seems to indicate that the order of parameters shouldn't matter ) and since I may not necessarily be the only developer who ever touches my code there's a good chance at some point that I'm going to have to field technical support calls or emails in which I'll have to explain this whole debacle over again.

Re: How about Macromedia provide a more detailed configuration document for CFMX?
I am reading so much pain and suffering caused by configuration issues with the migration to ColdFusionMX. There have been so many issues, my clients, for instance are delaying the upgrade until the dust settles. I am seeing so many people reporting problems with the set up and configuration, and reporting bugs, that turn out to be configuration that I would like to see Macromedia go to the effort to product a comprehensive set of documentation that will address these configuration issues. Just as Microsoft had to learn, the "one size fits all" is creating more problems than it solves. It should not be required for a system administrator to have to go to a $3000.00 course, purchase $200 to $300.00 in books just to install and configure the product. This is what it seems to appear to be the case at present. It should not require weeks and weeks of tweaking (read that thousands of dollars of labor costs.) to install and set up the server product. It seems to be a given that Macromedia does not pay much attention to its install application, which has been a bone of contention of mine from way back. Even the updater follows the old trend. I suggest the gurus at Macromedia obtain a copy of the new Microsoft .NET Enterprise server (release candidate) and walk through the install and configuration wizards and see what advances have been made toward set up and security, and try to incorporate the idea into their own install application. I have no question about the product being stable and awesome when properly configured, but why does it require so much training and expertise just to set up a server? When a hotfix is released, there should not be the requirement that the install procedure for the patches be different than the original install, but with just the required configuration for the fix itself. Instead when Macromedia releases a fix, each one has a unique installation procedure, such as "copy this file to this directory", and "copy that one to that directory" and then reboot or restart the service. The install application should do all that for consistency sake. Setting up remoting is treated so casually that way too much time is required to set that feature up and be consistent with server security.

RE: is my redundancy solution a violation of licensing terms?
I'm fairly certain this is a violation of both licensures. However, you CAN use your single SQL license to run on two boxes provided you configure them in a passive cluster. However your non-clustered fail over solution does not meet their definition of fail-over only. Microsoft has made a concession that if your implementation is purely as passive fail over, then they don't hit you twice for licensing. They admit that since only one license can actually be available at any given moment, they can't charge you for 2. In honesty, I was surprised when our M$ rep told us this ;). Perhaps Macromedia should consider allowing this when installed on OS enforced passive clusters as well ;).

I'm fairly certain this is a violation of both licensures. However, you CAN use your single SQL license to run on two boxes provided you configure them in a passive cluster. However your non-clustered fail over solution does not meet their definition of fail-over only. Microsoft has made a concession that if your implementation is purely as passive fail over, then they don't hit you twice for licensing. They admit that since only one license can actually be available at any given moment, they can't charge you for 2. In honesty, I was surprised when our M$ rep told us this ;). Perhaps Macromedia should consider allowing this when installed on OS enforced passive clusters as well ;).

There are already functions for exists() -- fileexists() and
directoryexists() ... but the rest of them would be rather useful

RE: cfstoredproc behavior
That's really strange... You're the only person I've talked to yet who's had that behavior... at least, that I'm aware of. Everyone else I've talked to who's tried to use cfquery for stored procedures on MX without using the ODBC socket drivers has said they couldn't return record sets -- and I remember reading from this list someone said ( and I think they were from MM ) that the JDBC drivers just didn't support the feature that allowed it to be done with the ODBC drivers. Not to mention that, although I don't work with MX yet, I was able to install an application on it briefly several months ago and noticed that the cfquery syntax wasn't returning any recordsets then.

The problem that you are encountering is because you have put in square brackets []. This makes a character class. If I understand what you are trying to do, what you are looking for is something like: ^(()*[[:space:]]*)* This looks for as many 's and spaces as it can find at the very beginning of the string.

Once in a while any page requested gives this error. we had track it to a line of code that tries to copy some session information in the request scope in the onRequest End page For some reason CFMX is loosing a structure in the request scope and throws a null error.
