RE: How to use DLLs in CF
Well CFX is one way. Another is to use CFObject. But in that case you need to pass registration key(unique identifier) in your operating system. Which you can get it by typing REGEDIT in RUN box and finding the registration key by giving name of DLL. -Original Message- From: S. Isaac Dealey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 December 2002 05:52 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to use DLLs in CF You have to register the DLL as a cfx custom tag in the ColdFusion Adminsitrator. In CF 5 it's in the left-side menu under Server Extensions CFX Tags Then press the button labelled register c++ cfx, provide a name for the tag in the form on the following page, enter the path to the dll and press the submit changes button. At that point, you make your library calls with the tag name you registered, i.e. cfx_mylibrary ... I'm not certain, but I think the dll has to comply to COM for this to work -- which is unfortunate since MS has recently deprecated COM in favor of dot-net. I'm not at all sure but I thought you had to link the CFX libraries to the DLL for it to work in this way. Never tried it tho' so I could be wrong. Real programming makes my brain hurt. ;^) If it does work with any DLL please consider posting the success (or failure) story to the list. I'd be interested in hearing it. Yea, I've only ever done it with DLL's which were intended to be used as cfx tags, but linking the cfx library to the dll is what the cf admin step is for. But since I've never tried it with any other kind of dll and I've never written COM in C++ myself, I can't really say much about it beyond the cf admin. :) But my suspicion is it has to be a dll specifically written for COM. s. isaac dealey954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~| 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 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com

Client Variable problem - continued
OK, as I wrote before, I've got a customer that keeps getting this message on a site with client variables enabled. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'CDATA' with unique index 'id1'. I went in and checked, and LastVisit was showing 11/25. I have client variables set to purge after 2 days so I don't know why that was even in there still. Now, my sequence of events is: 1) Check to see if client.initialize_session exists. If not, set it to now(). 2) If it does exist, check to see if it was set longer than X minutes ago (a hard coded app_timeout variable). If it is older than X minutes, loop through and delete all client variables. If it is within the app_timeout limit, refresh it to now(). Basically my version of sessiontimeout. 3) I check if client.rollcount is defined. If not, I set it to 1, set the cfid=#client.cfid#cftoken=#client.cftoken# querystring and a test cookie. If it is defined, I check for the cookie I set when I defined it and get rid of the cfid/cftoken in the querystring. All fine and dandy. I tried doing stuff like... cfcookie name=cfid value= expires=now cfcookie name=cftoken value= expires=now ..when I set the initial client.initialize_session, but just couldn't get rid of his cfid and cftoken cookie. The only way I could kill his cookies was to do the cfcookie thing above BEFORE the cfapplication tag. That refreshed his cookies and everything is fine. But since there is no way to programatically check if any client variables exist BEFORE the cfapplication tag, I'm not sure of how I would make sure everyone starts with a fresh set of cookies at the beginning of a session. So, my questions are: 1) What is it that would cause CF to try and insert a new record in the clientstorage database rather than updating the record that obviously exists? 2) How can I programatically delete the record from the database, especially if I don't know the client datasource name or if it's stored in the registry? -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~| 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.

IE 5.5 SP2 just loads the PDF as plain text but Netscape 7.0 works fine and opens the Acrobat Plugin in the browser. I also tried using CFFILE to readBinary the file from the server but wasn't able to output/open the file because the binary stored in the variable could not be converted to a string. Here is the code I tried to get that to work: cffile file=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cfmxdemo\itworks.pdf action=readBinary variable=test cfoutput#variables.test#/cfoutput Has anyone had any luck with CFCONTENT and PDF files, especially in IE 5.5 SP2?

Re: CFC output
CFC's, and especially web services, are generally considered to be used for data access or business logic, not for any type of display. However, if you are dead set on doing this, then you can just put your HTML inside the CFFUNCTION just like you would with a custom tag. You can specify output=yes in the function declaration and then you don't need to use cfoutput in your function, or you can leave output attribute off and use cfoutput in your function. Note that there is currently a bug in CFMX where html generated from a CFC is not displayed when the CFC is stored in a shared scope variable (application/session).

I agree with Matt. Objects can exist at several levels. For example, all the Swing GUI elements are objects.

RE: CF Error: The request has exceeded the allowable time limit
The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: CFQUERY .or... The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: CFOUTPUT It isn't taking along time or doing anything special. Almost seems more like a connction issue from my machine to the server. How can I fix this or catch it? - This means that the page you are requesting is exceeding the timeout set in the CF Administrator. You can do a couple things to resolve this: 1) Up the timeout setting in the CF Administrator 2) Assuming CF 5 and below, append RequestTimeout=xx to the URL where xx is the number of seconds to allow the page to process (which overrides the CF Admin setting). (If CFMX, the RequestTimeout setting must be made via the tag.) However, I think it goes without saying that you should look at what's going on on that page and see if you can clean the code up to improve performance (look at long running queries, looping over large recordsets, etc.).

RE: Client Variable problem - continued
Hi Bud, Regarding 2) you are indeed storing cvars in a SQL Server db - you got a sql error and not a registry error :) I had a db corruption problem last week that allowed a duplicate to exist in my db, and gave me the same errmsg you got. Sounds like you do to... Since it ought to be impossible to insert two identical pk's... Unless the dba used simple indexes, or fouled up the creation of the composite-field pk for that table. Once I deleted the duplicate all was fine. I did it via my enterprise mgr (mysqlfront and mysql) and it helped a lot that my error msg specified the specific key that was messing me up.

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'CDATA' with unique index 'id1'. I went in and checked, and LastVisit was showing 11/25. I have client variables set to purge after 2 days so I don't know why that was even in there still. Now, my sequence of events is: 1) Check to see if client.initialize_session exists. If not, set it to now(). 2) If it does exist, check to see if it was set longer than X minutes ago (a hard coded app_timeout variable). If it is older than X minutes, loop through and delete all client variables. If it is within the app_timeout limit, refresh it to now(). Basically my version of sessiontimeout. 3) I check if client.rollcount is defined. If not, I set it to 1, set the cfid=#client.cfid#cftoken=#client.cftoken# querystring and a test cookie. If it is defined, I check for the cookie I set when I defined it and get rid of the cfid/cftoken in the querystring. All fine and dandy. I tried doing stuff like... cfcookie name=cfid value= expires=now cfcookie name=cftoken value= expires=now .when I set the initial client.initialize_session, but just couldn't get rid of his cfid and cftoken cookie. The only way I could kill his cookies was to do the cfcookie thing above BEFORE the cfapplication tag. That refreshed his cookies and everything is fine. But since there is no way to programatically check if any client variables exist BEFORE the cfapplication tag, I'm not sure of how I would make sure everyone starts with a fresh set of cookies at the beginning of a session. So, my questions are: 1) What is it that would cause CF to try and insert a new record in the clientstorage database rather than updating the record that obviously exists? 2) How can I programatically delete the record from the database, especially if I don't know the client datasource name or if it's stored in the registry? -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~| 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.

RE: CFC output
If the HTML is meant to display in a browser then sending it to a Flash front-end would be quite silly since Flash supports rendering very little HTML. It would make more sense to create specific CFCs or specific methods for each type of display you are interested in. Then you don't have to worry about adding additional display types in future causing problems for existing display types. Attempting to create generic objects that can handle current requirements as well as unanticipated future requirements is one of the easiest ways to destroy a software project.

RE: Client Variable Problem
Thanks Matt -- I tried that, still having same problem unfortunately. I am racking my brain and I can't figure out what is going on here. The only thing that seems to make any sense is that there may be an issue with the fact that I am multihoming two sites on the server, both using host headers instead of physical IP's. I am going to see if I can't put another static on that box and map it to OESv2 and see if that solves the problem. This is just a guess though. Incidentally, this problem doesn't happen on CFMX where we have both sites multihomed using a single IP. It only happens on the CF5 box. -Grant Szabo Quoting Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I saw this happen on netscape browsers on CF4.5 when SETCLIENTCOOKIES=YES was placed in application.cfm, as opposed to leaving the statement out entirely.

Verity's vspider on Solaris.
Hi folks, I'm starting to loose my mind on this one so suggestions/clues are more then welcome... Solaris 2.6 Coldfusion 5 I'm trying to get Verity's vspider up and running but for some reason it keeps failing.

Re: Lists vs. Arrays vs. Structures
You can see the code here: http://www.houseoffusion.com/_library/maketree.txt Your example will fail as there can be more than one item with the same 'parent', which is what we're looking for. No matter what, we have to do a search and the list search functions seem to be the fastest of the searches around, even though the list items have to be parsed. For those wondering what's going on, when dealing with a query that has to be turned into a tree, you have to first find the 'root' item, then all of its children, then the next root item, etc. itemidparentidname 10 root 21 1st child of root 32 1st sub child 42 2nd sub child 51 2nd child of root 65 1st child of 2nd We would have to first look at root and get its children. Item 2 is its first child. Does item 2 have any children? If so, we get those children on down. When item 2 or it's children are finished, we go onto the next chold of the root. That is item 5. We do the same thing for 5, getting all of its children. Michael Dinowitz wrote: I think that a new array search function might be in order here.

Re: Macromedia Contribute
I have to agree with Matt - it undercuts my business. But on the other hand I do have clients that spend very good money with me on large feature and graphic updates.. So where the dozens of faxes and emails which come through, the tracking and billing of these whordes of changes, delay the client and I from making more important changes - I have a duty to my clients to help them run efficiently. Point is in some cases - this will free up some time and allow you to create more important changes. While allowing clients text only changes, most often than not - an enthusiastic client, whom sees delay changes = happy web surfers - they commit to larger and more frequent updates and therefore increase my profits. But - I hope it does stay on the desktop - because once it hits the web - all those web based forms and intuitive back end solutions come under fire..

CF 5 Page Filing massively... Ideas?
Everyone, We have had a challenge for the last 2 months with no ability to track it down and solve it. We are running CF 5 on Win2K with Dual P3 @ 1Ghz and 1Gig of Ram. We normally only use about 400-500 meg of ram, but once to twice per week right now we are filling up memory to 2.5ish gig and massively pagefiling. Database is on another server with same hardware config. We can't restart the CF service when this happens, and the only way to deal with it is to reboot the box. Part of me thinks the problems is overall load on the box -- average of 8000 to 1 unique visitors on the site per day and this doesn't include 500ish members on the system hammering it. Are there any tools to know what is using up the pagefile memory on Win2k? Any ideas what could be causing CF to eat up that much memory?

Re: Macromedia Contribute
Contribute is very closely inner-twined with Dreamweaver--reuses a lot of the code base. If it were written in Java, it would have to be totally written from scratch. I'm also not sure you could do all the things Contribute does if it was written in Java--particularly the integration with outside applications like Flash and Office.

Jeremy, I would take a look at the ColdFusion error logs, particularly Application and Server in that order. See if you are getting error messages and if so what are the most regular ones.

RE: Lists vs. Arrays vs. Structures
If I understand you correctly, you are representing a hierarchical relationship in a tabular manner. If there is another way you can store this information I would suggest it highly as there are many data structures much better suited for storage of hierarchical information. For example, a tree would give you O(log N) vs. your current O(N) performance. As you can see, if N is large it makes a big difference. Now then, assuming you are stuck on your tabular data structure I would suggest some changes to it. Right now you have the following. itemidparentidname 10root 211st child of root 321st sub child 422nd sub child 512nd child of root 651st child of 2nd Instead of relating a child to its parent via a primary key, I would suggest creating a hash string to represent the relationship, which might look like the following. itemId hashname 1 001 root 2 001002 1st child of root 3 001002003 1st sub child 4 001002004 2nd sub child 5 001005 2nd child of root 6 001005006 1st child of 2nd Above I have used a simple hash formula, which represents the itemId using a 3 digit fixed notation. I then create a hash string for each item by appending the item's hash to that of its parent's. This allows you to just sort the whole table based on a single column and everything is done for you. The above has formula is only an example and is limited to 999 unique items. You would need to create a hash formula best suited for the number of unique items you need to support. However, resist the temptation to make individual item's hash too long as deeply nest items would have very long strings.

Re: Macromedia Contribute
Yes, exactly. For a customer who has a largely *static* site and wants to do modest stuff, Contribute is a fine solution and I would recommend it to clients who are locked into a big static solution for whatever reason. To answer Joshua's question regarding why do they need to pay me for a content management system? Well, they have to pay somebody, don't they? Ignoring all of the added value I can provide within an integrated system -- as opposed to one where I have to work around a solution that attempts to be standalone rather than a component, as Contribute does -- I want the person who gets paid to be me... not the next guy... and I certainly don't want to be put out of business by my tool supplier. Of course we have to adapt to changing landscapes etc. etc. However this sort of channel conflict is an old story oft repeated. When the supplier goes into the end-user solutions business -- even if they're only sticking their big toe into the market ***at the moment*** -- its bad news for the VAR, developer etc. --- Matt Robertson, MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com - Retail http://foohbar.org - ColdFusion Tools --- -- Original Message -- from: Jason Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Mon, 09 Dec 2002 15:18:42 -0800 I have to agree with Matt - it undercuts my business.

So where the dozens of faxes and emails which come through, the tracking and billing of these whordes of changes, delay the client and I from making more important changes - I have a duty to my clients to help them run efficiently. Point is in some cases - this will free up some time and allow you to create more important changes. While allowing clients text only changes, most often than not - an enthusiastic client, whom sees delay changes = happy web surfers - they commit to larger and more frequent updates and therefore increase my profits.

CFMX - Mail Spooling Issue!
Hi all: Has anyone seen behavior like this? I have a script on localhost that pulls e-mails from an Access database, then loops over and sends a message to each e-mail address (over 500 addresses) using 127.0.0.1. The e-mail gets sent fine and all is good, but days later when I reboot my computer for whatever reason, when the computer comes back up I noticed that many more e-mails had just been sent (I know this because I start getting a bunch of bouncebacks for the invalid addresses). This leads me to believe that when I actually run the script, not all the e-mails get sent and it hangs for some reason (maybe?), and then when I reboot, it retriggers something and the rest of the mails get sent out? Does the CFMX mail component choke when there's a lot of messages in the CFMX\Mail\Spool folder? I know CFMX never stopped working so it doesn't completely hose, but maybe the mail part is? I don't know. Anyone have any clues? --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

Granted it doesn't have all the features that contribute has. But I think your overestimating how well Java Applets work across the board. There are big issues when it comes to getting Java Applets working on Mac (mainly the LiveConnect API isn't implemented fully on Mac OSX browsers). Applets do work quite well on Windows, and reasonably well on Linux however. I can relate to Macromedia Contribute undercutting many of their customers, I don't think its helping their popularity with the development community.

Re: Macromedia Contribute
Speaking of, does anyone know what it's using to connect to the server (ie RPC)? I got it to try out and I managed to get it working fine to my home server, but it does not work with any of the servers at work (all of which are Solaris). The only thing I can think of is that it's using some daemon that has been disabled during security stripping of servers at work that I didn't do to my server at home. My feelings on it so far are really I could care less. I use CFStudio RDS and it's just as easy for me to open a file through that as it is through Contribute (then again, I'm not one for WYSIWYG). Contribute opens up new security issues (for example I can turn off RDS on the server, but now I'll have to turn off whatever this uses as well). We don't really have access control or separate people designing content and functionality (and when we do, the content portion doesn't change as it's only graphics - everything else is database driven).

The only thing I can think of is that it's using some daemon that has been disabled during security stripping of servers at work that I didn't do to my server at home. My feelings on it so far are really I could care less. I use CFStudio RDS and it's just as easy for me to open a file through that as it is through Contribute (then again, I'm not one for WYSIWYG). Contribute opens up new security issues (for example I can turn off RDS on the server, but now I'll have to turn off whatever this uses as well).

Re: Macromedia Contribute
Point is in some cases - this will free up some time and allow you to create more important changes. While allowing clients text only changes, most often than not - an enthusiastic client, whom sees delay changes = happy web surfers - they commit to larger and more frequent updates and therefore increase my profits. Matt Brown here. I am the community manager for CT and Dreamweaver. I think you sum up the product really well in this paragraph. CT is designed to take away the simple and silly things that need changing, not the big updates and design changes. What our target customers tell us is that they are going to do more with the web if they can have more input for the contributors. OTOH, CT is not a CMS really, it doesn't do strict approvals, it does not do time based publishing, it does not put data into a database, it really only works with static pages. I think there is a good niche for it in many many workflows, but not all. I also think that it is going to get you more work not less over time because people are going to really want to do more once they can do some... _ Matt Brown Dreamweaver and Contribute Community Manager Macromedia (415) 706-6543 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Dreamweaver Blog: http://shorterlink.com/?KB8LAL Developer Resource Kit Volume 2: http://www.macromedia.com/software/drk/ ~| 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 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

RE: CF 5 Page Filing massively... Ideas?
Jeremy, I suggest that you learn how to use the 'perfmon.exe' application. Using perfmon you should be able to pinpoint what is going wrong (M$ only). In my experience it is likely to be a combination of CF and something uncooperative. Of course as Mike suggested below, always check your application and server logs. Then there is all the locking discussion...(check the archives). Then there is the 'review your code' idea... If you are experiencing a problem that is severely impacting your business, I would suggest to hire a consultant so as to fix your problem.

RE: Macromedia Contribute
I'm thinking that Contribute offers a great opportunity for install/configuration/training, with a good upsell for a full-featured, custom CMS in some cases - either immediately or down the road. -Original Message- From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Macromedia Contribute Depends on who we are talking about. Some business will be excited about Contribute. Others will understand or find out the hard way that they really need a CMS. Of course many are still finding out the hard way that CMS is an often abused term and that home grown systems aren't going to meet their future needs.

Wouldn't it be nice to make Contribute a Java application that could be integrated into an existing web-application to give this kind of power/control to us developers so that we could hand it out to whoever needs to use it - and have it be web-based so as not to have to maintain software installations on multiple users' machines?

Warning: Page has Expired
I have no doubt that this is a no brainer but I can't seem to find the answer. I've tried setting the expiration in the meta tag but it doesn't seem to give me the result I want. I want a page to expire if it is either refreshed or if someone tries to hit the back button to see the page. How would I go about that? I would like to invoke that standard page that we've all seen before with Warning: Page has Expired. Thanks -Jason
RE: access odbc connection
Yes, but I mean map the remote drive to a local drive letter. (sorry, but I might not be using the correct terminology). \\othercomputer\c$ is mapped to j: locally(cfserver). So the cfserver would have a mapped drive, j:, which is actually c: on the other computer. Can someone verify this is the proper way to accomplish what Steve is trying to do?

RE: Macromedia Contribute
This is exactly my point - I've seen ActivEdit before and it's a fabulous product, and this is what I had assumed Contribute is - just a desktop-only version. And yes, you're right, JAVA Applets probably aren't the best method. I have yet to find a product like ActivEdit that works well on say a MAC running Mozilla (granted I haven't used your 3.0 product). I was merely stating that it would be nice to see our software vendor make a plugin solution for this niche. Although, perhaps not so nice for the folks at CFDev ;) From my experience, albeit not as much as many of you on the list, when I toss in a product like the SiteObjects editor into a customer's site, they love it. They can make the small, text-based changes that they want to make, I don't have to deal with minor text modifications or even adding photographs or links and they save money. It's not really a matter of taking money out of your pocket unless you live by small static HTML changes - if you do then I see your concern, but a desktop application that can be used without your knowledge, input or assistance would scare me more than something web-based that you setup and implement for them (like ActivEdit). From my experience, when you give customers tools to make their lives easier and that save them time and money, they come back to you for the dynamic stuff that we all love to build. Anyway, my original post was more of a cry for something like ActivEdit that would be official Macromedia Software that would work across multiple browsers and platforms. I guess I should just look into ActivEdit and keep my mouth shut about Macromedia making their own. Again, I'm still lost as to how anyone would lose money because of Contribute any more than they would with something like FrontPage or Dreamweaver or ActivEdit for that matter. If someone wants to maintain a static HTML site with an extremely litmited toolset more power to them. That's sort of like being worried by pen manufacturers because you're a writer - true some people will write themselves, but if they want professional quality then they'll need to consult a professional. Anyway, this is pretty OT at this point and probably belongs on another list. Sorry for starting an OT thread.

Just a thought. At $99 it's a good deal, but it would be more useful if it would run on the web. Actually we have such an application, ActivEdit (http://www.cfdev.com/activedit/) in the latest version it includes a Java Applet WYSIWYG Editor, and it starts at $99 as well. Granted it doesn't have all the features that contribute has. But I think your overestimating how well Java Applets work across the board. There are big issues when it comes to getting Java Applets working on Mac (mainly the LiveConnect API isn't implemented fully on Mac OSX browsers). Applets do work quite well on Windows, and reasonably well on Linux however. I can relate to Macromedia Contribute undercutting many of their customers, I don't think its helping their popularity with the development community. However customers that don't want to be tied to desktop software, and installation issues I think will still go for a web based WYSIWYG editor/content manager. _ Pete Freitag CTO, CFDEV.COM http://www.cfdev.com/ ~| 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.
