RE: When CFHTTP fails, use WGET
I use a self written java cfx, took 2 hrs to write (I'm a java n00b) and is massively faster than cfhttp, granted it's a little more simple but it works well. Using a w32 utility with cfexecute is likely to be even slower than cfhttp, I wouldn't go there to be honest. If your'e already doing it, I'd think again. Just my opinion, Craig. -Original Message- From: David Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 November 2002 16:31 To: CF-Talk Subject: When CFHTTP fails, use WGET On a CF 4.5 platform, I had enormous trouble using CFHTTP to access a page behind a proxy server. I got the typical Connection Failure message. After verifying my CF code, using CF-Talk and all other resources, it was clear that I was not going to be successful. Instead, I resorted to using WGET from http://www.wget.org http://www.wget.org/ . This utility has a million parameters and I have put the description at the bottom of this report. For windows users, it is best that you create an ini file and place it in the same directory as the wget binary. By the way, it is an exe that does not have to be installed, unless you want ssl which needs a few libraries. As for my CF code, I call wget with a CFEXECUTE where my code was for the CFHTTP. Hope someone finds this information useful. Dave Adams, CFUG Ottawa WGET GNU Wget is a freely available network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the background, after having logged off. The recursive retrieval of HTML pages, as well as FTP sites is supported -- you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages, or traverse the web like a WWW robot (Wget understands /robots.txt). Wget works exceedingly well on slow or unstable connections, keeping getting the document until it is fully retrieved. Re-getting files from where it left off works on servers (both HTTP and FTP) that support it. Matching of wildcards and recursive mirroring of directories are available when retrieving via FTP. Both HTTP and FTP retrievals can be time-stamped, thus Wget can see if the remote file has changed since last retrieval and automatically retrieve the new version if it has. By default, Wget supports proxy servers, which can lighten the network load, speed up retrieval and provide access behind firewalls. However, if you are behind a firewall that requires that you use a socks style gateway, you can get the socks library and compile wget with support for socks. Most of the features are configurable, either through command-line options, or via initialization file .wgetrc. Wget allows you to install a global startup file (/etc/wgetrc on RedHat) for site settings. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Flash and CF Integration
I'm doing my first Flash and CF integration app and have a list of questions. I have to dynamically display data in 14 text boxes as well as have up to 36 dynamic lines connecting the boxes based on query results. Im not sure if this is possible with flash. I have my template done in flash but everything is on 1 layer. Do I need to put things on different layers? Can anyone tell me if this is possible? There will be at least 15 queries that have to be run to populate this template with the correct data. Any suggestions? Help? If you would like to see the fla file, please email me.

You mean enabled -- or doesn't disable js... This is true -- but it's the only way I know of to preserve the original format of the text, including html, and allow it to be updated after the fact.

clientmanagement cause Page Expired in MX
Have found that enabling clientmanagement in the application tag (in Application.cfm) in MX causes html forms to behave differently than if clientmanagment attribute is No or omitted. (Only a problem on remote, shared server; not locally.) If fill in part of a form, submit, then go back all form data is lost. (If try to go forward from there, says page has expired.)

On my local Single IP development server, all works as expected regardless of clientmanagement. As far as I can tell, settings in the shared remote and my local are the same. As control, did same set up in CF5 and clientmangement made no difference: form behavior as usually expected. Below are two links to same form.

RE: Form Field validation tag -- need help (EBW)
I would probably make the default for max longer than 1 -- 20 or 50 maybe...
20 is the default length for html form fields. 50 is the default size of MS
SQL Server varchar columns.
I would probably also use instead of [not provided] as the default for
fieldname and equalfieldname -- if len(trim(var)) is 0 then you know it
wasn't provided.
Doesn't look like this should be tough to convert to a UDF and I think it
would likely make it faster and easier to use...
cfscript
function validateFormField(fName,fType,fValue) {
var required = false;
var fMin = 1;
var fMax = 50;
var eqVal = ;
var eqField = ;
var errormessage = ;
// allow optional arguments
if (arraylen(arguments) gte 4) { required = arguments[4]; }
if (arraylen(arguments) gte 5) { fMin = arguments[5]; }
if (arraylen(arguments) gte 6) { fMax = arguments[6]; }
if (arraylen(arguments) gte 7) { eqVal = arguments[7]; }
if (arraylen(arguments) gte 8) { eqField = arguments[8]; }
// validate for the given field type
switch (fType) {
case string: { // check length of string for minimum and maximum
if (len(attributes.fieldValue) lt attributes.min) {
errorMessage = #attributes.fieldName# is less than the minimum
#attributes.min# characters.; }
else if (len(attributes.fieldValue) gt attributes.max) {
errorMessage = #attributes.fieldName# is more than the maximum
#attributes.max# characters.; }
} break;
}
}
return errormessage;
}
/cfscript
cfset variables.error = validateFormField(xxx,xxx,xxx)
You need a break; statement at the end of each case clause otherwise it will
continue processing with the next case in the list. In any event -- that
should get you going. :)

RE: Writing a file with CFFILE
I'd agree, there's probably no perfect solution. I just wanted to point out (what, surely, everyone already knows) that relying on JavaScript can be dangerous. Personally, for double-quotes, I've always had great success by replacing all double-quotes with quot; and then reversing the replacement on the backend. I don't know that I've had to do the same for HTML content, but I would imagine that simply replacing angle brackets (or maybe even just the left angle bracket) with the appropriate entities would be sufficient.

Re: Can a form pass a structured variable to target template? (EBW)
If my form has 15 fields in it, rather than passing all 15 fields to the target template, could I... - create a struct variable (e.g. UserProfile), - name each form field as a variable under the struct (e.g., UserProfile.FirstName, UserProfile.LastName) - still be able to use the struct variable (UserProfile) in the target template?? I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to work. Any assistance would be great! A form can only pass string values to the action page -- so the only way to pass a complex variable such as a structure to the next page via a form field is to serialize it into some form of xml packet ( which is a string ) place the packet in the form field and then deserialize it on the action page.

Only difference is that first has clientmangement enabled, second one doesn't. Just submitting with a first and last name will illustrate the problem: 1. http://www.wingserv.com/testform.cfm : clientmanagement enabled, does not work as expected. 2. http://www.wingserv.com/church/testform.cfm : no clientmanagement, works as expected I realize that assuming that browsers will always *hold* form data is not always true; but, have many existing such form pages want to move to MX and want to be able to also use clientmanagement. Would appreciate any help on this as have my first site in MX almost ready to go, save for this strange behavior on remote server. Thanks E.

Re: Java in CF (CFMX)
Joe
Your example, does, in fact work.
Of course, I needed to modify the Java code to specify a different
database --
none of the MS databases appear to work on Mac OS X (or and non-win
platform) :)
This is enough to get me started -- I will add the flexibility to the
interface so it
will work with any JDBC driver, and any MetaData request.
Thanks
I have never written a wrapper for a Java program it helps to start
with a
working example, and concise instructions.
You, likely, saved me several hours of frustration.
I think that implementing and deploying this example is a good
illustration of the
value of inline Java.
Someone new to Java, like myself, could take your example and drop it
into a simpleCF template,
between cfjava,,,/ tags. Then they could add the CFML portion in the
same template. More likely,
you would have provided a complete, standalone CF Template with the
Java code, inline.
Then they could save and test the template without concern for:
1) Separating your file into its Java and CFML component parts.
2) Where to put the Java source
3) How to compile the Java class
4) Which Java compiler options to use and their proper settings --
things such as:
Usage: javac options source files
where possible options include:
-gGenerate all debugging info
-g:none Generate no debugging info
-g:{lines,vars,source}Generate only some debugging info
-OOptimize; may hinder debugging or
enlarge class file
-nowarn Generate no warnings
-verbose Output messages about what the
compiler is doing
-deprecation Output source locations where
deprecated APIs are used
-classpath path Specify where to find user class
files
-sourcepath pathSpecify where to find input source
files
-bootclasspath path Override location of bootstrap
class files
-extdirs dirs Override location of installed
extensions
-d directorySpecify where to place generated
class files
-encoding encoding Specify character encoding used by
source files
-target release Generate class files for specific
VM version
5) Figuring out the command line interface or some Java IDE, just to
be able to compile the Java program.
6) Where to put the Java class
7) Where to get a Java compiler if one isn't installed on their
platform (Mac OS X comes,
standard, with a JDK, but many platforms do not).
Sure, these are things that the new Java person will need to learn
eventually. But, is it necessary to
overload the new Java user with all this minutiae, just to try a simple
Java example -- I think not!
Is there value to the Java developer (new or experienced) to inline
code -- Yes, I've noted some
advantages to the lay person. But, Joe, who is experienced with Java,
could have benefitted from
inline Java too. I suspect he would have saved time preparing/testing
his example and the instructions
how to deploy it :
1) He, simply, could have provided a single CF template with the
Java inline; rather than a Java
program and a separate CF template.
2) He could have avoided typing the instructions to compile and
deploy the Java program
3) The flow of the example, likely, would be better, better
understood, and easier
to explain and document within the code (both CF and Java
Comments)
4) He'd have a single file, a complete example, with no special
instructions --
Just Save it and Run it as you would any other CF template.
Is there significant [enough] value, that MM should consider
implementing inline Java --
I think so -- what it boils down to is this: inline Java is an
improved interface to
many Java programs -- much the way that cfquery (and the associated
cfoutput, cfloop, etc.) tags
are an improvement to many SQL databases. Here are some advantages to
MM.
1) The CFMX product could have another productivity advantage for
developers, and
resellers... hmm... I wonder if IBM could use this feature
2) Macromedia could more easily, and more effectively include many
Java examples
in the code they distribute,
3) Inline Java could facilitate writing, testing and documenting
wrappers for many
Java programs (whether deployed inline or not).
4) It could be easier to reconcile Java constructs of strong typing,
nulls, etc, with the absence
these constructs in CFML. In fact. inline Java, could provide a
very nice means to help
pass data between CFML and Java -- something like cfjavaparam
where you could
specify typing, nulls, etc. in a way meaningful to both CFML and
Java.
5) If
Can a form pass a structured variable to target template? (EBW)
Was trying to use the WDDX method to pass a long form set. Would only pass a random 10 fields. Found by searching on this forum that this is a known MX bug. Workaround is to Duplicate the form first, then serialize with WDDX. Worked fine sending the total form as structure via wddx IF did the duplicate step Keith Dodd ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Re: Flash and CF Integration
Yes, this can be done in Flash. We're working on a very similar application where it maps items to a grid and then draws connectors between related items. Regarding layers, the first thing to remember is that they are only used for z-order and organization. AFAIK, they don't actually exist in the final SWF (only in the FLA). That said, it is crucial to app maintainability that all items be on a separate later, or at the very least all unrelated items (so a box and it's outline can be on a layer, but other boxes should be on a different layer). However, for dynamic layout like this, it's far easier to add items to the timeline programmatically with attachMovie--when dealing with this many boxes, you should find it improves maintainability.

RE: Writing a file with CFFILE
Used properly, HTMLEditFormat() does not change the content. If you type Hello Goodbye, into a form field, once submitted, it becomes: Hello Goodbye So, this is what you insert into the database. Now, when you *display* the contents of that form field, *if* you *don't* want the browser to parse it, then use HTMLEditFormat(). For instance, let's say we let the user edit that text again in a form field.

RE: E-Commerce, and Variations
Actually, I just went through the exact same scenario. Basically you'll need to create an item table, a attribute_group table, an attribute table, and an item_attribute_lookup table. Store your basic attribute types in the attribute_group table... size, color, weight. Then in the attribute table you'll have a fk to the attribute_group table and store the value of the attribute here (pink, blue, green). Then the item_attribute_lookup stores your attribute id (fk from attribute table) and the ItemID (fk from item table) as well as any other information you need for each individual item. You can store price, inventory or anything else here. I'd also recommend putting an Active_Ind field on the item_attribute_lookup table as well.

Currently working on an E-Commerce site and deal with product variations (size / color - which relates to price) and was curious to know if anyone has any suggestions on table structure to best handle this, or know of any good sites with reference. Logically what takes place is a certain size + color combination constitutes the configuration of the product they are purchasing, as well as determines the price.

RE: Can a form pass a structured variable to target template? (EB W)
Forgot to say, that's in CFDJ -- ColdFusion Developers Journal. Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There is an article on using CFWDDX for serializing and deserializing complex data types for use with client variables. Although this isn't exactly what the original author of this thread is looking to do, the source code examples, etc. will likely be very helpful. It's in 2002 Volume 4, Issue 4, page 32, by Tsara Borsting ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you don't have the magazine you can probably access it online. -Grant Szabo -Original Message- From: S.

This is true -- but it's the only way I know of to preserve the original format of the text, including html, and allow it to be updated after the fact. HTMLEditFormat() or any other kind of string manipulation going into the form field will change the content in some way after the first edit. So there really is no perfect solution -- either you lose the original format, or you rely on javascript which could potentially be disabled. Unless the client has JS disabled.

I've seen people sometimes use ReplaceNoCase() to convert quot; and other html entities into double-quotes on the action page, but then no-one can enter an html entity in the form field, because those get converted. It's a lose-lose situation. Same story with textareas. textarea name=myhtmlcfoutput#mytextarea#/cfoutput/textarea Do the same thing you did with the text field here, only instead of double-quotes, this time enter 'textarea name=somethingelse/textarea' into the field.

RE: Processing .htm files as .cfm
Hi Paul: This is actually a setting in your web server software. Assuming you use IIS, you will go into your web site's Properties Home Directory Configuration, and on the Mappings tab you'll notice all the various extensions your web server processes and the path to the application or library that processes it. Scroll down to .cfm or .cfml, and copy the settings you find there to the .html or .htm (one or the other, or both) extensions. This way you tell IIS to point .htm/.html to ColdFusion for processing.

Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables)
Here is a case study in the use of locks around session and application variables. Read on, at the end I have a few questions to the great minds and gurus of this list (especially Raymond Camden). The project I am working on right now is the rewrite of an application which never should have gone into production in the first place. The application was written three years ago and errors abound (common messages shown below): - Error Diagnostic Information unknown error condition unknown error while executing a tag - Or: - Request cancelled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. - We see at least 50 of these in the application log daily, much more around election time when traffic skyrockets. Every once in a while I also see a PCode error, but I don't have the syntax in front of me. The app runs on NT 4 with CF4.5 and makes extensive use of application and session variables. By extensive, I mean it has large structures contained in the application scope and calls data from them 10 - 80 times per page. I looked at the CPU usage for Cold Fusion to determine the total amount of data in the application scope, and saw it go up from about 3k to 89000k just when the application loads. So there is a lot of data, but that should not be a big issue - the app is running on a pretty powerful server. The challenge, it would seem, is to have the code access the data properly. The code possesses no locks anywhere (!). What I am doing is exclusively locking all of the application and session variables when they are set, and putting readonly locks around these variables whenever they are read. My code looks like this: cflock scope=session type=readOnly timeout=10 cfif NOT isdefined(application.regional_development_orgs) cfset needs_init = 1 /cfif /cflock cfif needs_init eq 1 cflock name=data_detailed_smobe_data throwontimeout=Yes timeout=10 type=EXCLUSIVE cfset temp = structNew() cfloop from=1 to=#listlen(application.state_names_list)# index=dex cfset temp2 = structInsert(temp, listgetat(application.state_names_list, dex), ) /cfloop ... do more stuff ... cfset application.regional_development_orgs = structCopy(temp) cfset needs_init = 0 /cflock /cfif I am taking the entire session scope and setting it to a request variable at the top of every page, and calling these request variables when needed (doing it this way...): cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=20 cfset request.session = structCopy(session) /cflock cfoutput#request.session.state_name#/cfoutput .. Calling variables from the request scope instead of session I am doing something similar with application variables by putting specific structures in the request scope on pages where they are used, a la: cflock scope=SESSION type=READONLY timeout=20 cfset request.senate_demographic_data = structCopy(application.senate_demographic_data[request.session.state]) /cflock cfoutput#request.senate_demographic_data[request.session.state_name][min_ bus]#/cfoutput .. Calling variables from the request scope instead of application My question is, does it sound like I am addressing the core problem or am I just enhancing the code? Could the real problem be with the amount of data in the application scope, or is there something else I am not thinking of? Does anyone have any advice on how to pinpoint the exact cause of the problems I am running into (or have any experience with applications using this much data in shared memory)? Am I writing these locks as efficiently as possible? Should I be thinking about working with my sysadmin to fine-tune the server, and, if so, what kinds of things should I be looking for? I am about halfway done with locking down the code, and haven't run into the same problems with the rewritten code. The server has frozen several times and required me to restart Cold Fusion server, but this could be attributed to the old code. While I am confident I am going to end up with a superior product in the end, I don't want to end up with egg on my face when the new version goes live because I got fixated on locks ... Any ideas would be appreciated.

What am I doing wrong? I want to replace !--s1--*!--e1-- TIA, Duane cfset myStr1 = blah !--s1--x1 y2!--e1-- blah cfset myStr2 = abc cfset newStr = ReReplaceNoCase(myStr1, !--s1--[*]!--e1--, !--s1--#myStr2#!--e1--) I may be rusty, but here goes... I'm not sure if the string [*] actually means anything - the Asterisk is not a wildcard in RegExs, it's an instance marker (in this case meaning zero or more occurances). The dot is the wildcard for any chracter so this .* might be better. This would make the above RegEx: !--s1--.*!--e1-- Also Regexs in CF are greedy - in short this means that the above would result in the following this conversation (basically): 1) Starting at the beginning of the string, find !--s1-- 2) Okay, found it. Next I have to find all characters. 3) Next, since I just had to find all characters, starting at the END of the string (and moving backwards), find !--e1--. In short if your string was this: blah !--s1--x1 y2!--e1-- blah blah !--s1--x1 y2!--e1-- blah That regex would return this: !--s1--x1 y2!--e1-- blah blah !--s1--x1 y2!--e1-- It would find the first !--s1-- and the LAST !--e1--. There are at least two ways out of this. 1) If the end will ALWAYS be !--e1-- you can add that as a refuse or not clause to your expression as in: !--s1--[.^(!--e1--)]* What (I think) that says is find anything (the dot) that's NOT (the carat) the following subexpression. I think that should work in every version of CF that offer RegExs. 2) Only if you're using CFMX (you didn't say) then you can instruct CF to use minimal-matching (also known as non-greedy matching) by modifying the instance character with a question mark. So, the example from above would be: !--s1--.*?!--e1-- Or possibly !--s1--[.]*?!--e1-- I'm not 100% sure. Again - this can only used in CFMX (and it's so very freaking cool) so your CF version makes a big difference.

RE: Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables)
You are trying to fix one problem at a time, and that's all you can do to pinpoint the problem unless there are firm indicators that the problem lies elsewhere. My opinion is that you're on the right track - but don't be surprised if there are other problems as well. You still have to fix these locking problems even if they aren't the main problem. Matthew Small IT Supervisor Showstopper National Dance Competitions 3660 Old Kings Hwy Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 843-357-1847 http://www.showstopperonline.com -Original Message- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 1:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables) Here is a case study in the use of locks around session and application variables. Read on, at the end I have a few questions to the great minds and gurus of this list (especially Raymond Camden). The project I am working on right now is the rewrite of an application which never should have gone into production in the first place. The application was written three years ago and errors abound (common messages shown below): - Error Diagnostic Information unknown error condition unknown error while executing a tag - Or: - Request cancelled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. - We see at least 50 of these in the application log daily, much more around election time when traffic skyrockets. Every once in a while I also see a PCode error, but I don't have the syntax in front of me. The app runs on NT 4 with CF4.5 and makes extensive use of application and session variables. By extensive, I mean it has large structures contained in the application scope and calls data from them 10 - 80 times per page. I looked at the CPU usage for Cold Fusion to determine the total amount of data in the application scope, and saw it go up from about 3k to 89000k just when the application loads. So there is a lot of data, but that should not be a big issue - the app is running on a pretty powerful server. The challenge, it would seem, is to have the code access the data properly. The code possesses no locks anywhere (!). What I am doing is exclusively locking all of the application and session variables when they are set, and putting readonly locks around these variables whenever they are read. My code looks like this: cflock scope=session type=readOnly timeout=10 cfif NOT isdefined(application.regional_development_orgs) cfset needs_init = 1 /cfif /cflock cfif needs_init eq 1 cflock name=data_detailed_smobe_data throwontimeout=Yes timeout=10 type=EXCLUSIVE cfset temp = structNew() cfloop from=1 to=#listlen(application.state_names_list)# index=dex cfset temp2 = structInsert(temp, listgetat(application.state_names_list, dex), ) /cfloop ... do more stuff ... cfset application.regional_development_orgs = structCopy(temp) cfset needs_init = 0 /cflock /cfif I am taking the entire session scope and setting it to a request variable at the top of every page, and calling these request variables when needed (doing it this way...): cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=20 cfset request.session = structCopy(session) /cflock cfoutput#request.session.state_name#/cfoutput . Calling variables from the request scope instead of session I am doing something similar with application variables by putting specific structures in the request scope on pages where they are used, a la: cflock scope=SESSION type=READONLY timeout=20 cfset request.senate_demographic_data = structCopy(application.senate_demographic_data[request.session.state]) /cflock cfoutput#request.senate_demographic_data[request.session.state_name][ min_ bus]#/cfoutput . Calling variables from the request scope instead of application My question is, does it sound like I am addressing the core problem or am I just enhancing the code? Could the real problem be with the amount of data in the application scope, or is there something else I am not thinking of? Does anyone have any advice on how to pinpoint the exact cause of the problems I am running into (or have any experience with applications using this much data in shared memory)? Am I writing these locks as efficiently as possible? Should I be thinking about working with my sysadmin to fine-tune the server, and, if so, what kinds of things should I be looking for? I am about halfway done with locking down the code, and haven't run into the same problems with the rewritten code. The server has frozen several times and required me to restart Cold Fusion server, but this could be attributed to the old code. While I am confident I am going to end up with a superior product in the end, I don't want to end up with egg on my face when the new version goes live because I got fixated on locks ... Any ideas

RE: Java in CF (CFMX)
Personally, I'd like to see CF Script expanded to deal with strongly typed code. It would be extremely cool to be able to run code from a different languages in a cfscript block (kinda' like MS's Scripting Host). I can see a couple of other benefits to having inline Java code: Stronger types for variables. (well, stronger types for /values/). Sometimes it's extremely useful to have strong types. For example, I worked on using native COM datasets in CF a few years back and we had a lot of problems converting the native COM dataset into a CF query. was a huge performance hit for a CF script to loop over each field, convert it, and stuff it in a CF query. If CF could (optionally) deal with different types I think it would have been a lot easier to do, and a cfscript block would be a great place for this. Also, it would be *great* to be able to pass functions around as values--that alone would certainly simplify my code in places. One of CF's great benefits is it's simplicity, but sometimes it's important to be able to get out of the simple tag-based techniques of CF and into more advanced techniques. When I'm developing, sometimes I want to be able to just dump some code on a page and thrash away. It gets in the way to have to develop separate components. After I'm done thrashing out some code, I want to make sure it's clean and maintainable, and put it into components, though. It's just nice to have the option. I know basically nothing about the actual behind-the-scenes architecture of CF, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't see why CF couldn't just automatically compile a cfscript block as a separate class if you added a keyword to it, like: cfscript language=java. There is already a lot of code generation going on when CF creates the class files from a CF page. Well, just my $0.02...

htmleditformat() converts potentially harmful characters ( , etc ) into
html entities. An html entity is used to place characters in the display of
an html page which aren't supposed to be allowed ( although browsers often
if not usually allow them anyway ) in an html document without being part of
an html tag. htmleditformat(0 is a one-way conversion. You can of course,
unhtmleditformat() a variable manually, however, doing so prevents you from
placing proper html entities in the field since they would likely all be
converted back into the etc which aren't supposed to appear in properly
formatted html documents.
cfsavecontent variable=myvar
textarea name=helloworld/textarea
/cfsavecontetn
cfoutput
divmyvar = #myvar#/div
divhtmleditformat(myvar) = #htmleditformat(myvar)#/div
/cfoutput
since these 2 lines are not the same, and the contents of a textarea field
are passed literally ( they're not translated by the form submission ), the
content of myvar becomes what you see on line 2 after it's been converted
the first time with htmleditformat().
Unless this is a very new feature of CFMX that I've not heard about which
automatically reverts the string after a form submission. Although I would
doubt it considering that this would prevent people being able to enter html
entities into form fields and get html entities on the action page.
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what's up with your example -- I
haven't tested it on my machine. If it is working, one of two things are
happening -- there's more code involved than in your example ( an
application.cfm maybe ) _or_ there's a bug somewhere, because it's not
supposed to work that way.

RE: Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables)
In my experience, PCode errors were usually the result of not using cflocks where needed. IMHO, you are on the right track moving schtuff to the request scope. From an earlier posting by Mike Brunt, and what I do in my apps, I'd suggest using In Application.cfm cflock scope=SESSION timeout=30 type=READONLY cfset structappend(request,Duplicate(session)) /cflock In OnRequestEnd.cfm cflock scope=SESSION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=30 cfset structAppend(session,Duplicate(request)) /cflock The onrequestend bit adds any NEW vars you introduced in the request scope to be added to the session scope. This way you need only use CFLOCK twice in your whole application. Be careful of CFABORT use with this though. As for these errors - Request cancelled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. - Check your page 'weight'. Are you running heavy SQL? CFX tags? You may need to tweak your SQL to run better and also play with the number of simultaneous request limit in the CFADMIN tool. What you set this at depends on what your app does. I have it set to 10 threads per CPU as my app is very DB intense. Others set this to 3-4 per CPU. Also look at your request timeout limit. HTH Doug -Original Message- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 1:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables) Here is a case study in the use of locks around session and application variables. Read on, at the end I have a few questions to the great minds and gurus of this list (especially Raymond Camden). The project I am working on right now is the rewrite of an application which never should have gone into production in the first place. The application was written three years ago and errors abound (common messages shown below): - Error Diagnostic Information unknown error condition unknown error while executing a tag - Or: - Request cancelled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. - We see at least 50 of these in the application log daily, much more around election time when traffic skyrockets. Every once in a while I also see a PCode error, but I don't have the syntax in front of me. The app runs on NT 4 with CF4.5 and makes extensive use of application and session variables. By extensive, I mean it has large structures contained in the application scope and calls data from them 10 - 80 times per page. I looked at the CPU usage for Cold Fusion to determine the total amount of data in the application scope, and saw it go up from about 3k to 89000k just when the application loads. So there is a lot of data, but that should not be a big issue - the app is running on a pretty powerful server. The challenge, it would seem, is to have the code access the data properly. The code possesses no locks anywhere (!). What I am doing is exclusively locking all of the application and session variables when they are set, and putting readonly locks around these variables whenever they are read. My code looks like this: cflock scope=session type=readOnly timeout=10 cfif NOT isdefined(application.regional_development_orgs) cfset needs_init = 1 /cfif /cflock cfif needs_init eq 1 cflock name=data_detailed_smobe_data throwontimeout=Yes timeout=10 type=EXCLUSIVE cfset temp = structNew() cfloop from=1 to=#listlen(application.state_names_list)# index=dex cfset temp2 = structInsert(temp, listgetat(application.state_names_list, dex), ) /cfloop ... do more stuff ... cfset application.regional_development_orgs = structCopy(temp) cfset needs_init = 0 /cflock /cfif I am taking the entire session scope and setting it to a request variable at the top of every page, and calling these request variables when needed (doing it this way...): cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=20 cfset request.session = structCopy(session) /cflock cfoutput#request.session.state_name#/cfoutput .. Calling variables from the request scope instead of session I am doing something similar with application variables by putting specific structures in the request scope on pages where they are used, a la: cflock scope=SESSION type=READONLY timeout=20 cfset request.senate_demographic_data = structCopy(application.senate_demographic_data[request.session.state]) /cflock cfoutput#request.senate_demographic_data[request.session.stat e_name][min_ bus]#/cfoutput .. Calling variables from the request scope instead of application My question is, does it sound like I am addressing the core problem or am I just enhancing the code?

an html tag. htmleditformat(0 is a one-way conversion. You can of course,
unhtmleditformat() a variable manually, however, doing so prevents you from
placing proper html entities in the field since they would likely all be
converted back into the etc which aren't supposed to appear in properly
formatted html documents.
cfsavecontent variable=myvar
textarea name=helloworld/textarea
/cfsavecontetn
cfoutput
divmyvar = #myvar#/div
divhtmleditformat(myvar) = #htmleditformat(myvar)#/div
/cfoutput
since these 2 lines are not the same, and the contents of a textarea field
are passed literally ( they're not translated by the form submission ), the
content of myvar becomes what you see on line 2 after it's been converted
the first time with htmleditformat().
Unless this is a very new feature of CFMX that I've not heard about which
automatically reverts the string after a form submission. Although I would
doubt it considering that this would prevent people being able to enter html
entities into form fields and get html entities on the action page.
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what's up with your example -- I
haven't tested it on my machine. If it is working, one of two things are
happening -- there's more code involved than in your example ( an
application.cfm maybe ) _or_ there's a bug somewhere, because it's not
supposed to work that way.

Actually yes. Run this code in a blank page and save all day. Check
the
results in studio. As was my original problem, you are over thinking this.
This is exactly what HTMLEditFormat() was designed for. Hope this clear up
the confusion

umm... no ...
Try this
input type=text name=name value=#htmleditformat(myvar)#
Then type 'Jim the Man davis' into that form field, drop it into a
persistent variable or a database, retrieve it from that location and
populate the form with it (as above), submit the form and save it to the
same place. It _does_ change the content. You wind up with 'Jim quot;the
Manquot; Davis' as your content.
I've seen people sometimes use ReplaceNoCase() to convert quot; and other
html entities into double-quotes on the action page, but then no-one can
enter an html entity in the form field, because those get converted.
It's a lose-lose situation.
Same story with textareas.
textarea name=myhtmlcfoutput#mytextarea#/cfoutput/textarea
Do the same thing you did with the text field here, only instead of
double-quotes, this time enter 'textarea
name=somethingelse/textarea'
into the field. After you've edited it once, you no longer have html
content
you now have lt;textarea
name=quot;somethingelsequot;gt;lt;/textareagt; ...
I don't make this stuff up.

RE: Server Problems When Code is Not Locked (was RE: Application vari ables)
Doug; Thanks for the reply. Except for some custom modules I am not concerned with at this time, the main application really only uses heavy SQL on one page (the one where it places all the structures in the application scope). There it runs 26 queries, all of which take some time to run and return large amounts of data. The funny thing is, there has never been an error on this page. It always runs as expected, the errors come on other pages. Right now, the average time for a page to generate in the system is just under 60 ms (but I think this is going up with the new data locking scheme). There are no CFX tags in this part of the application (there is an ArcIMS interface, part of a custom module I have put off dealing with until the main application is under control). I did just rewrite the application in Fusebox, though, which makes use of custom tags in the core files... Hopefully this is not the problem. The application is running on CF 4.5 on NT4.

IMHO, you are on the right track moving schtuff to the request scope. From an earlier posting by Mike Brunt, and what I do in my apps, I'd suggest using In Application.cfm cflock scope=SESSION timeout=30 type=READONLY cfset structappend(request,Duplicate(session)) /cflock In OnRequestEnd.cfm cflock scope=SESSION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=30 cfset structAppend(session,Duplicate(request)) /cflock The onrequestend bit adds any NEW vars you introduced in the request scope to be added to the session scope. This way you need only use CFLOCK twice in your whole application. Be careful of CFABORT use with this though. As for these errors - Request cancelled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. - Check your page 'weight'. Are you running heavy SQL? CFX tags? You may need to tweak your SQL to run better and also play with the number of simultaneous request limit in the CFADMIN tool. What you set this at depends on what your app does. I have it set to 10 threads per CPU as my app is very DB intense. Others set this to 3-4 per CPU. Also look at your request timeout limit.
