Re:CFXML use of memory
In fact I am managing an Extranet and I have around 250 organisations that are interested in downloading information from the system. We are looking for a standard way to provide such facility and the Web services standard seems perfect. As the downloaded data depends on the user, it will be difficult to generate a file and then make it available to the users. We have already run a pilot with Coldfusion where we create a string and send it back to the remote process. It works fine even for huge profile. As we want to use web services, we will use cffunction to rationalise and simplify the application maintenance. By using XML variable, I expect to avoid duplication of variable when calling a function. I can't see the advantage of using java to develop such feature. First, I don't know java and it would take me ages to develop the feature, but most important, I am not sure that it would be less memory consuming!!! Many thanks for your useful feedback. Joe, I am curious, how are you creating the XML doc? What is the format of the data? I is based on a recordset? I ask because I am currently tasked with doing the same thing and want to know what is a good format for exchanging a CF recordset with a Delphi application.

FW: CFGURU: Permissions error
I'm having fun with CFMx this week. Now getting this error when trying to use cffile Normal file actions work fine within a site, it's only UPLOAD that doesn't work as this temp file is being copied from outside the site by CF. Have tried adding this temp folder into the sandbox security, but no joy. I think it must have been the cfmx6.1 upgrade that caused this one as sandboxes were working fine b4 that.

Menu options based on login ???
Hi I have created a login system in Coldfusion and it works great. However I would like to restrict some links on the main menu to certain users For example CFIF Session.status = ?? WHAT GOES HERE ??? Display menu for users with a session.status of administrator only CFELSE Display other menu items for all users and the administrator to view /CFIF How is this achieveable in Coldfusion through cfif statements ?? This is what I have at the moment, this checks the users login details and sets session variables for that session. In my case I have added one called Session.status - CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#Application.DSN# NAME=Security SELECT * FROM admin WHERE Username = '#form.Username#' AND Password = '#form.Password#' /CFQUERY CFIF Security.RecordCount IS 0 CFLOCATION URL="" ADDTOKEN=No !--- If validation is succesful then set the username, password from the preceding login form that matched the admin query and was validated as Session variable. Also set the user ID from the admin query as a session id, then send them staright to their administration page --- CFELSE CFSET Session.Password = #Security.Password# CFSET Session.Username = #Security.username# CFSET Session.ID = #Security.ID# CFSET Session.Fname = #Security.Fname# CFSET Session.Lname = #Security.Lname# CFSET Session.status = #Security.Status# CFLOCATION URL="" ADDTOKEN=No /CFIF -- [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Menu options based on login ???
Try this (assuming the status variable is a numeric value, 1 for administrator access - 2 for editor access - 3 for contributor access, etc.: cfswitch _expression_ = #Session.Status# cfcase value = 1 Display menu for administrators only. /cfcase cfcase value = 2 Display menu for editors only. /cfcase cfcase value = 3 Display menu for contributors only. /cfcase cfdefaultcase Display menu for contributors only. /cfdefaultcase /cfswitch Or you could wrap individual menu items in cfif Session.Status EQ 1 etc for specifics. -Original Message- From: Ian Vaughan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 30 September 2003 6:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Menu options based on login ???

RE: Need better CFX tag instead of CFHTTP tag.
Hi, We came up with the same issues before and developed a COM object that handles redirects. The COM object is scriptable with VBScript scripts so you could for example: Script1 - Browse to a URL Script2 - Fill in a form Script3 - Submit the form And get the returned HTML from the last page of the script processing. The scripts run sequentially, The could bit of the com object is that it handles the redirect perfectly. I know on the forums at the time of writing the COM object, MRichmond (Look her up on the forums) wrote a Java CFX that handled redirects. Hope this is of some assistance, Regards, Dan. -- If you would like to purchase any of my tags, components or applications, I have a PayPal Account that may make it easier for you.

Flash date format problem
I'm working on a Flash remoting app, and I need to pass a list of dates from the Flash calendar component to a CFC. I'm having some problems with date formats.
Flash is sending dates as strings like this: Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003
In my CFC, when I run the following statements:
#CreateODBCDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#br
#DateFormat(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003,'dd/mm/')#br
#ParseDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#
I get the following results:
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
10/03/2000
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
That is, the 10th of March 2000 NOT the 10th of March 2003.
Any ideas on what I need to do to return the correct year?
TIA,
Kay.

Can anyone give me a reason to say those fears for the future are unfounded??? Sometimes I feel like we're all just circlin' the drain, albeit slowly I was shocked but very happy to see in my local newspaper this past weekend that the government is stepping up to the plate, and may help in this area. I have pasted the contents of the article below since the sun-sentinel.com site requires a free login. --- Foreign worker visas to be cut By Joan Fleischer Tamen Business Writer September 27, 2003 Aiming to curb abuses in foreign worker visa programs that critics say displace American workers at a time of rising unemployment, U.S. legislators from Florida and several New England states are pushing for stricter laws on the use of such employment visas. Barring any last-minute action in Congress -- and there is little sign of it -- the annual quota for H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers automatically drops from 195,000 to 65,000 on Oct. 1. A $1,000 fee for each visa used to fund training programs for U.S. workers and students also will expire. But some worry it's too little, too late. Many companies skirt U.S. immigration laws and bring over inexpensive foreign workers with visas other than the H1-B, such as the L-1. The L-1 is intended for intra-company transfers but now is routinely used by computer consultant companies that lease out temporary foreign workers to other employers. U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Boca Raton, said he is joining a bipartisan group of legislators led by U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, that would close loopholes in immigration laws that allow companies to bring in foreign workers, pay them less and replace American workers. The more I learned about abuses by certain companies and how workers in South Florida are affected, I became convinced I should be a part of the effort to reform the visa programs, said Wexler, who this week said he is co-sponsoring a bill called the L-1 Non-Immigration Reform Act. Wexler said he was moved by the personal accounts of displaced South Florida technology workers profiled in a South Florida Sun-Sentinel story that ran Aug. 10. It reported on potential abuses in the foreign worker visa programs and how South Florida workers not only were displaced by visa holders but often were required to train their replacements. In this so-called jobless recovery, with so many Americans still out of work and with high-technology workers especially hurting, it doesn't make sense to keep lax liberal immigration laws, said Wexler. Coral Springs resident Phil Marraffini, 47, a senior systems analyst who lost his job to visa holders and was profiled in the story, said he was gratified when contacted by Wexler. I'm hoping that it can help make a difference, said Marraffini, who now works as a housepainter. It is an outrage what has been done to so many American technology workers. *Bill seeks cap *DeLauro's bill would place an annual cap of 35,000 L-1 visas and require L-1 workers to be paid prevailing U.S. wages. The bill would also deny L-1s to any company that has laid off an American worker in the six months before or after filing an L-1 application. The cap on H1-B visas at 65,000, Wexler said is still too high. I'd certainly be amenable to a larger drop, and for keeping the $1,000 training fee, said the Democrat from Boca Raton. In the past during a strong economy, I supported increasing the caps. In 1998 and again in 2000, Congress increased the numbers on H-1B visas -- from 65,000 a year to 115,000 a year for two years beginning in 1999; and to 195,000 a year for three years beginning in 2001. Not all visas issued count toward the cap. Those applying to extend their three-year visa for another three years, for example, or those in academia or research are not counted. A just-published report by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Immigration Statistics shows that 197,537 H1-B visas were approved in 2002, down 40 percent from 331,206 in 2001. But at the same time, the number of workers coming in on the much less regulated L-1 visa is on the rise. There are an estimated 325,000 L-1 visa holders currently working in the United States. Florida ranks third after California and New York for having the largest number of these visa holders. We don't believe that Congress intended -- or could have even anticipated -- that the L-1 visa program would be used by some companies to import substantial numbers of technical workers, IT professionals and engineers and then use those employees to provide services under contract or lease arrangements with other U.S.-based employers who, in turn, lay

Subject: Flash date format problem
I'm working on a Flash remoting app, and I need to pass a list of dates from the Flash calendar component to a CFC. I'm having some problems with date formats.
Flash is sending dates as strings like this: Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003
In my CFC, when I run the following statements:
#CreateODBCDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#br
#DateFormat(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003,'dd/mm/')#br
#ParseDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#
I get the following results:
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
10/03/2000
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
That is, the 10th of March 2000 NOT the 10th of March 2003.
Any ideas on what I need to do to return the correct year?
TIA,
Kay.

RE: Java Custome Tag
You don't necessarily need to use CFX's, you can integrate a lot of java class files just by using cfobject. With CFMX this is a whole lot better as you can actually use java methods without writing and compiling class files. You have lots of options, I guess if the java is quite complex then a CFX is probably the way to go but simple calls to java methods shouldn't need them.

RE: Application and Request scope
I read this and now I am questioning my Application.
I have been building a document Library system. The Application is shared
between all the sites using it by Virtual Directories.
I use session variables in the login.cfm to set the User information (GUID,
Directory, IsAdmin) after login authentication.
cfset SESSION.Auth = StructNew()
cfset SESSION.Auth.Email = QryCheckLogin.Email
cfset SESSION.Auth.UserGUID = QryCheckLogin.UserGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.LibraryGUID = QryCheckLogin.DocLibOwnerGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.IsLoggedIn = 'YES'
cfset SESSION.Auth.Admin = '#App_Admin#'
I am not locking the above.
Everything seems to be working when multiple users are on the site (on the
same website or sharing). I also named the Application dynamically by
cfset AppName = #ListGetAt(CGI.HTTP_Host,'2','.')#
cfapplication name=DocumentLibrary#AppName#
sessionmanagement=Yes
setclientcookies=Yes
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
Then I just use cfparam to set variables.
cfparam name=App_DataSource default=TheDatabase
cfparam name=App_DataBaseUser default=TheUserName!---
cfparam name=App_DataBasePass default=ThePassword
cfparam name=App_Admin default=NO
cfparam name=APP_Path default=#expandPath('../../../../')#
cfparam name=APP_LibraryOwnerURL default=#CGI.HTTP_Host#
Should I use Application Variables?
Should I be locking them?

pass array to CFtag by reference NOT value?
I know arrays are passed to custom tags via attributes by *value*, not reference (as is the case for structures and so on). Is there any way of forcing an array to be passed to a custom tag by *reference*? I'm writing a tag that needs to recursively strip out the descendants of hierarchical records (its an array modelling the possibly nested sections of a website). I think it needs to recurse (call itself) to do this, and obviously you want each recursion to operate on the same array, to progressively strip out the children. At the moment I'm working with the idea of the custom tag relying on the array being worked on sitting in the Request scope. This seems OK-ish, but obviously it makes the tag much less modular.

RE: query string recognition
[McGill, Eric] Only some versions of app servers will see those vars. Also, some that do allow you to do that will not recognize the query string on post requests - so you can do it on everything until you submit a form, then you have to specify a filename that you're posting to. I'm not sure if this behavior is also dependent upon the appserver. Either way, just have to test in the version you'll be running the app on. Any idea if it's syntactically valid to append a query string with no file name ( foo.com/?bar= )? I am guessing so, but then again maybe it's just tolerated.

RE: Application and Request scope
Rick, you should lock Application, Server and Session variables.Session
because if you use Frames or if you have slow running requests users can
launch more than one thread which can cause memory corruption.
Here is how those three scopes are seen: -
SERVER By all CFAPPLICATIONs on a single physical server.
APPLICATION By all users in a single CFAPPLICATION
SESSION By a single user in a single Session.
I have another suggestion go to our blog at http://www.webapper.net
http://www.webapper.net/and search for CFLOCK you will find a few
pointers there that may help.

Subject: RE: Application and Request scope
I read this and now I am questioning my Application.
I have been building a document Library system. The Application is shared
between all the sites using it by Virtual Directories.
I use session variables in the login.cfm to set the User information (GUID,
Directory, IsAdmin) after login authentication.
cfset SESSION.Auth = StructNew()
cfset SESSION.Auth.Email = QryCheckLogin.Email
cfset SESSION.Auth.UserGUID = QryCheckLogin.UserGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.LibraryGUID = QryCheckLogin.DocLibOwnerGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.IsLoggedIn = 'YES'
cfset SESSION.Auth.Admin = '#App_Admin#'
I am not locking the above.
Everything seems to be working when multiple users are on the site (on the
same website or sharing). I also named the Application dynamically by
cfset AppName = #ListGetAt(CGI.HTTP_Host,'2','.')#
cfapplication name=DocumentLibrary#AppName#
sessionmanagement=Yes
setclientcookies=Yes
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
Then I just use cfparam to set variables.
cfparam name=App_DataSource default=TheDatabase
cfparam name=App_DataBaseUser default=TheUserName!---
cfparam name=App_DataBasePass default=ThePassword
cfparam name=App_Admin default=NO
cfparam name=APP_Path default=#expandPath('../../../../')#
cfparam name=APP_LibraryOwnerURL default=#CGI.HTTP_Host#
Should I use Application Variables?
Should I be locking them?

Using getPageContext().forward()
I'm using Client variables with getPageContext().forward() and I'm running into a problem where Client variables I set on the first page do not exist on the page that I forward to. I'm wondering whether or not this is expected behavior. Here's a small test snippet to reproduce: test1.cfm - cfset Client.test1 = Pre-Forward cfscript getPageContext().forward(test2.cfm); /cfscript test2.cfm - cfdump var=#Client# As you can (hopefully) see by the results, test1 is not present in the Client scope when I forward(). However, it does exist if I am using cflocation to pass from one template to the next. Since these are two back-end templates, I was hoping to use the server-side forward() instead of the client-side cflocation. I'm using MX 6.1 on Solaris using the internal JWS. Any confirmation of this behaviour, expected or otherwise, is appreciated. Regards, Dave. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Combining Form Fields ?
It usually best not to store data like this in one field though, rather store it in the 3 seperate fields and combine them in the query when you extract the data from the database or in your application. You may find in the future that you need to get 'Mr Smith' rather than 'Mr John Smith' from the database, and this can be a right pain if you're storing all the data in one field.

Re:Flash date format problem
Thanks Eric,
I had started doing that, but I was hoping to avoid the brute force approach :)
Someone on another mailing list posted this link, which fixed the problem:
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/40.cfm
Cheers,
Kay.
Worst case scenario, you can parse that thing out to a date format you
know cf likes: snip
I'm working on a Flash remoting app, and I need to pass a list of
dates from the Flash calendar component to a CFC. I'm having some
problems with date formats. snip
Flash is sending dates as strings like this: Mon Mar 10 00:00:00
GMT+0800 2003
In my CFC, when I run the following statements:
#CreateODBCDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#br
#DateFormat(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003,'dd/mm/')#br
#ParseDateTime(Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 GMT+0800 2003)#
I get the following results:
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
10/03/2000
{ts '2000-03-10 00:00:00'}
That is, the 10th of March 2000 NOT the 10th of March 2003.
Any ideas on what I need to do to return the correct year?

Re: SES and URL Rewrite
In Website and CFMX I use this ugly code:
function SES()
{
var SESUrlVars=RemoveChars(CGI.path_Info, 1, 1);
var SESloopcount=ListLen(SESurlvars, '');
// If these are the same, then nothing important is on the url
if (script_name EQ path_info)
return 1;
for(i=1;i LTE SESloopcount; i=i+1)
Url.#listfirst(listgetat(SESUrlVars, i, ''),
'=')#=listlast(listgetat(SESUrlVars, i, ''), '=');
return 1;
}
This may not work in IIS, but the concept is there. Take an url where the
question mark is replaces with a slash and work from there. For example, the url
below would normally have the question mark between the .cfm and method.
http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm/method=threadsforumid=4displaydate=09/30/2003
Note that some go hog wild with this concept and place slashes everywhere. Not
needed. Just one will do it for you.
Hi,
I am also looking for something but. I want to know that for
eg:
if my URL is:
http://www.abc.com/info.cfm?ArticleID=3043
can I rewrite the URL as
http://www.abc.com/info/ArticleID/3043
If you notice that I replaced info.cfm by info , means I want to remove the
file extension.
Let me know if this is possible, I know in Apache there is something like
this.

RE: Drawing diagonal lines
A poorly thought out idea follows: What if you had two gifs containing diagnal lines in a transarent image. \and/ 10 pixels by 10 pixels. First, decide whether the slope is positive or negative. Then, just set the image display size to the rise and run of your needed slope, and you have a diagnal line. (This assumes you dont need to draw anything under the slope.) Just a thought.

RE: IIS not rendering ASP?
The lockdown tool wasn't explitly run, but it might have run as part of service pack 4. We'll try running the tool manually and see what happens. Thanks. The IIS Lockdown tool isn't run unless you do it explicitly. Also, what it does, if I recall correctly, is that it removes the ISAPI extensions, so if you go into the IIS MMC and see the extensions, they either weren't removed, or they were reentered manually after running IIS Lockdown. However, it's possible that you're using URLScan, and you have urlscan.ini written in such a way that ASP requests are denied.

RE: cfqueryparam and NULL values (SELECT)
CFQUERYPARAM is only useful for dynamic information.It makes the statements faster with most DBMSs (using prepared statements), and also provides a level of security, because it prevents SQL injection attacks. For any hard coded values (numbers, strings, whatever), you can use CFQUERYPARAM if you want, but it's unnecessary.NULL is a special case. There is no way to use CFQUERYPARAM to pass a NULL to the database, so for that 'value' (and that value alone) you HAVE to use it directly.A good tip-off is that the entire comparison is IS NULL or IS NOT NULL, so you'd actually have to pass multiple keywords. So, the second form of the query you provided is the correct form, and the only one that'll work. barneyb -Original Message- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 10:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfqueryparam and NULL values (SELECT) Hey all.. trying to do the following query: SELECT * FROM tblCheckout WHERE videoID = cfqueryparam value=#URL.videoID# cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer AND actual_returndate = cfqueryparam value= cfsqltype=cf_sql_date null=yes i'm getting 0 records returned, where I know there is 1 record that matches the criteria.

Insert gone astray... not doing as instructed....
Trying to get some code to work. Maybe someone could help me.
Problem is that when I run the code, I seem to be getting unexpected
results. The query runs, and where it should only dump 1 record into the
db it is dumping 2 records that are identical except for the ID field
(which is a MSAccess AutoNum).
My search for a cure is not going well. Can anyone see why this is
happening?The insert that I am using is at the end of the page.
