urlencode mangling accented letters

2004-03-29 Thread ScootrS
I need to urlencode something. When it involves an
accented letter, the letter comes out mangled as a
series of symbols.

Any solutions?

It is late, but I offer you this:

To do a dril-ldown the Flash Client, Laszlo (God I hate typing that)  
invokes a Web service that:

1) invokes a JSP program
2) the JSP program Queries the DB
3) the JSP Prog converts the query to XML
4)the Laszlo (God I hate typing that) program manipulates the XML

Re: Flex is out

FORGET flex! Go Laszlo!

I was sick of waiting for flex since the beta list was so small so I've been playing around with Laszlo (LPS) for a while. It rocks! I figured Flex would be priced out of range of us small guys and of course it is. I actually thought it would start at about $5000 per cpu which is way out of range of us small guys but it's even more than I imagined.
I had previously noted:

Laszlo has changed their pricing/version model. For most of it's life they just had the Enterpise Edition which was out of reach of small guys. Just a few weeks ago they were selling the Professional Edition for $995 (or $999) and the Enterprise Edition for $2495 (or $2499). Last week they rebranded the Professional Edition as the Express Edition and changed the price to $1999 and you now have to call the for pricing on the Enterprise edition. They probably had a run on the Pro edition and realized they could get more for it plus they must of had wind of the Flex pricing. In version 2 of the Developer Edition it supported simultaneous connections from up to 2 remote IP addresses per hour.  In version DE 2.1 that was released the other day they changed it to support simultaneous connections from up to 5 remote IP addresses per hour. Last week they also released the Non-Commercial Edition which is free for no-commercial use. That should make it a hit with non-profits & other non-commercial uses.

With the outrageous pricing of Flex and considering most of my clients are non-profits then Laszlo is for me. I'll be deleting the idea Flex from my memory now.

I guess, back to the beta max analogy (which is apples to windows) -
they still use beta maxes in TV studios.

I think I get where they are coming from though, for example:

IBM WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition 4.0 (20P5323) for PC,
Unix - $12,108

Microsoft Content Management Server Enterprise Edition (V04-00018) for
PC - $12,031

Microsoft Content Management Server Enterprise Edition For PC - $34,841

and while its true that M$ has like 80 billion dollars in the bank, it
seems like if that is the market they want - then they are in the right
price range.

If they don't want the poor playing with their stuff, then so be it.

Re: Flex is out

2004-03-29 Thread Dwayne Cole
I predict that Macromedia is going to sell off ColdFusion within the next 2 years.  Their product portfolio is too diversified and their customer segments have very little in common - Flash, ColdFusion, Director, Fireworks, Breeze, and now Flex - very different developer communities.   

Macromedia is all over the place and their strongest commitment is still to their original flagship product lines.  ColdFusion was only valuable to MM because it provided the "dynamic" support that Flash was missing and it was much better than ultra-dev.   Now that .NET and PHP is gaining strength, Macromedia is having a difficult time staying loyal.

Don't get me wrong, with out a doubt, Macromedia has done a very good job with ColdFusion MX (I still think they made a serious mistake by abandoning ColdFusion Studio) but I do not believe that they are willing and better yet capable of providing the necessary support to ensure that "ColdFusion Development" stay ahead of the pack (.NET, PHP, ASP).  From an operational perspective, I don't think it's sustainable effort. 

I respect Macromedia's apparent strategy but I believe that selling off ColdFusion to a very close and "up and coming" partner will do both Macromedia and ColdFusion a great deal of good.  If they don't sell off ColdFusion they should and probably will sell off something else because they are struggling trying to hold it all (ColdFusion, Breeze, Authorware, SoundEdit, Director, Contribute, Flex, Dreamweaver etc.) together.   If they have smart people on their board of directors, they are probably having this discussion as we speak, if not we should all be concerned.

We should be greatful to MM for it's investment and support of the Community, but don't do to ColdFusion what Eisner did to Disney and what TimeWarner did to AOL.

Why not make it a billion dollars then. Then they'll really think it's
great. I don't know many CTOs (let alone CFOs) that would want to spend
12,000 on a technology that is not totally proven. You think it's a good
idea, I think its a good idea... but c'mon.

This confuses me to no end here. So this is like the trickle down

... Don't think in terms of timelines and have 12,000 bucks - that's more than 
I spent on my car btw - so this product is definitely not for me
or any of my clients (or anyone I speak to)

Yeah... like the beta max right. The growing pain is orders of magnitude
higher then any tiny like rib pain or something - more like fatal
cranial trauma.

I was so stoked to use it too...

To a certain extent, it helps to establish legitimacy among larger (read:
enterprise) organizations. From a business standpoint, MM has a unique
opportunity to present Flash-based RIAs to the enterprise and market its
potential as something other than the annoying ads a lot of corporate execs
associate with Flash. And along the way, they can generate some revenue to
make up for the R&D that went in to the Flex development process. I don't
know if I see the $12K price tag and the be all, end all of Flex pricing. In
the future, with the potential integration with CFMX and increased small
business awareness, there will probably be multiple pricing points which
will make Flex more affordable to a broader development base.

> Flex succeeds because it bring the positives of Flash of a content
delivery standpoint while freeing developers of the Flash IDE, which some

I think that Flex succeeds because it opens the Flash development process up
to a wider developer community who don't think in terms of timelines.

> In the next generation of Internet applications, it is going to be tough
to discern between a web app and a traditional desktop application.  This is
the same motivation, I think, behind Microsoft's XAML, due out with
Longhorn.  Given the delays in Longhorn, its deep Flash development base and
legions of ColdFusion developers, MM has roughly 1 year to grab market and
mindshare.  While I'm sure the niche, enterprise market is lucrative, I
think there is enough enthusiasm among the poorer folk to have driven some
impressive sales volume in this product.

Why one year? Longhorn isn't slated until at least late 2006, and by some MS
blog accounts, perhaps 2007. That's two to three years. On top of that, you
can't assume that pople will race to adopt the Avalon platform if for no
other reason than users, especially corporate users, will not flock to
upgrade to the new release. At least with Flex, you get the ability to
develop applications that can be used by people now, let alone two to three
years from now.

> It just seems like is overlooking a opportunity to build a tremendous
technology advantage, catching Microsoft on its backfoot.

Again, I think it's a bit premature to determine what opportunity Macromedia
does and doesn't take advantage of. I mean, this product has been out for
one day!! To presume that what you see today is what you'll see in a year,
if not earlier, is probably a bit short-sighted. If cost is indeed a factor
for you and your clients, you can still use the developer version to get up
to speed until such time as the pricing becomes more affordable.

Flex may indeed have its issues that will take some growing pains to sort
out, but I don't think that pricing will be the make-or-break for the
product.

Dave.

Actually, I think MM is right not to have created a "full" server product with Flex.  It seems that their strategy is to incorporate Flex functionality into the next version of CF.  But I think it would have been an equally poor choice to lock Flex with ColdFusion development.  Macromedia has done a good job in making products like Flash, Dreamweaver, et al., applicable to developers using CF, .NET, PHP or whatever.

I think it's safe to assume that current Flash RIAs are sitting on top of a separate web server (be it CF, or something else).  So, the frustration I among developers I have heard from today is not in Flex being a separate server, but its price.

I get the impression that developers see the need and usefulness of a product like Flex today, but don't want to wait for Blackstone and don't have an enterprise budget to work with.  I am one of them.

RE: Flex is out

For Flex:

1)  MXML file which is your Flex XML source

2)  Browser requests mxml file

3)  Flex compiles the application (first time only) and delivers SWF
to the client browser

4)  Application residing in the client browser can now interact with
systems using Web Services, Java Objects, Remoting, XML over HTTP etc

Myself I use a CF backing using both WS and Remoting...but I also tie
into other systems via Web Services...somewhat of a central UI.

If you take a look at Flash Remoting Server, it's $999 for a single proc.
And yet CFMX Pro is $1399 for dual proc, and includes all the flash remoting
stuff.  We might all be pleasantly surprised to see that with CF 7 MM
decides to throw in a very potent Flex engine to help get market
penetration.  If people are so fixed on non-CF J2EE or .NET that they are
willing to spend $12K on Flex, it seems unlikely to me that they'll suddenly
decide to bail on that and switch to CF, so I don't know that MM would be
massively hurt in the enterprise sales area.

Of course, I'm a coke monkey, not a business guru, so who knows.

I don't think that we're slicing the "web application pie" into too many 
slices. I think Macromedia has made it abundantly clear that their vision of 
the internet's future centers around RIAs. Flex, in my mind, is their next 
logical step in that road map. They now have two products on the market that 
enterprise shops can look to to create two critical pieces of a web 
application -- the presentation and the business logic (let's leave the 
pricing aspect for another thread!).

I think the current disconnect between Flex and CFMX is simply a result of 
completely different release cycles (obviously, since Flex never existed 
before today!). I would look for Blackstone (CF 7) to provide a more 
seamless integration of the CF/Flex libraries. My only hesitation with that

applications will mean to product pricing!!

CF Classified Ads Program

2004-03-29 Thread Tom Forbes
Excuse me, does anyone know of a CF classifieds Ad program I can purchase? 
I currently use a UNIX based one that is about 8 years old, and I would 
like to switch to CF. I have not had any luck locating one, but I figure 
there must be one out there.

Thanks CF'ers!

DUDE, please.  You are picking at anything right now.  While it was not 
explicitly stated in that email, I think that everyone here made the 
assumption that the 'likeable, fun, efficient, suitable, ease of use' did 
not mean FORTRAN.

Time to go home before this nasty case of the Monday blahs get me booted 
off this list before I have had a real chance to enjoy it.

There's a mention in Dan's original message about CF?  News to me:

"It's not an issue of not liking learning new things. The issue is whether or 
not the new thing you are learning is likeable. And in this case likeable, 
fun, efficient, suitable, ease of use etc...which in my opinion asp.net 
fails on most counts for most small to medium web projects... which lucky 
for me, is where I'm at."

Where's CF mentioned here?

Re: Flex is out

2004-03-29 Thread Dick Applebaum
After reading Ben's preso and paper I am beginning to understand where 
Flex fits vis-a-avis CFMX --- but it would be a lot clearer if the flex 
jsp taglibs were available to CFMX.

I am beginning to think that we are trying to slice web application pie 
into too many slices (communication. help apps, demos, PIAs (Poor 
Internet/Interface Apps), yadda, yadda, yadda!

Do we really need separate servers for all these different slices of  
the same pie?

Just thinkin' aloud!

If someone wants to have a reasonable conversation about ASP.NET vs. CF, fine.  If someone wants to bash ASP.NET and provide no reasons why it's "yukky", well, where's the value in that?  How many "CF is better " threads do we need?

SOT: Flex Pricing>>>

2004-03-29 Thread Tyler Silcox
Uh...never mind, you'll only need $36-48k for an initial Flex application:

 
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/productinfo/faq/#item-28

 
Q: How many CPUs will I need for my project?
D:  Each project is somewhat unique but, in general, an initial Flex
application requires at least six to eight CPUs. [con't]

 
When Macromedia says Enterprise, they aren't kidding.

In other words: 

Flex was not developed:
    -To give the power of Flash to the people out in the trenches using such
products as DevNet/Studio MX everyday. Even though it could make their lives
easier and their products more powerful. 

But it was developed:
    -Only for big (read "rich") businesses that are ready to lay down 10s of
thousands of dollars on a couple of apps, therefore ensuring semi-high
revenue/ROI from the new product.  Later on you might give some alms to the
poor.

Hi,

I just thought I'd jump in here. The pricing of Flex is a reflection of its

That is the best answer I have gotten yet.

Is the delete button really that hard to operate?  I could see the 
complaint if we were discussing Wil Ferrell's new movie, but this is a 
slightly OT convo about CF vs. MS.

I agree with Dan

CFUN-04 interviews 5 - Security with Matt Liotta, Competition winner, Flex

2004-03-29 Thread Michael Smith
In the fifth part of our CFUN-04 interview series, Michael Smith interviews Matt
Liotta about his security talk at CFUN-04. The interview is below. But first 
some news.

The winner of the CFUN competition is Adam Dray. Over 200 people entered
and 19 had all correct answers. You can read his winning
quote and see the correct answers at
    http://www.cfconf.com/cfun-04/winner.cfm

If you didn't win a free ticket to CFUN you still have 2 days left for the 
CFUN-04 early bird price deadline of 3/31/04.

Also Macromedia today announced the immediate availability of Flex, a new 
presentation server and application framework for creating dynamic Rich Internet 
Flash applications. For more info see:
   http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex

Now back to the interview...

With computer security in the news, Michael Smith decided to talk with Matt
Liotta about his CFUN-04 presentation on "Security".

Michael Smith: Why is security important for programmers? Isn't this a network
administrator subject?

Matt Liotta: Well if there are any administrators in the attendance I am sure
they will benefit from this presentation. However, this presentation is really
meant for programmers. How we write code makes a big difference in the overall
security of an application. Unfortunately, many programmers miss the potential
security problems in their applications simply because they don't know any
better. Or worse, they go to extraordinary lengths in the name of security only
to miss subtle exploits that invalidate all their work.

MS: That sounds like a lot of work!

ML: Great security takes a lot of work, but good security can be achieved with a
little insight...

[You read the rest of the interview at http://www.cfconf.org/CFUN-04/news.cfm

CFUN-04 is Saturday 6/26/04 - Sunday 6/27/04 in the Washington DC area. It costs
$199 until 3/31/04 then $269. For more information on CFUN see

RE: asp.net...yuk

2004-03-29 Thread Michael T. Tangorre
CF-COMMUNITY is rarely techie from what I have seen. Lots of conversations
about politics, news, jokes, etc...
I love when people complain about a topic being too "non cf-talk" and they
feel the need to respond, only adding to the total number of threads and
replies on the very topic they were initially complaining about! Haha. :-)

CF v. .NET seems legit to me on here as long as CF remains part of the
discussion; but then again, Mikey D may think otherwise and drop kick this
thread into the CF-COMMUNITY.

We shall see.

I feel as though the more you can learn, the better off you are. Technology
changes so fast and the more tools you have in your box the better. I love
CF and it is the right tool for a lot of jobs, just as .NET offers the right
tools for a lot of jobs. The thing to remember is that you realy limit
yourself if you limit your skills. I say try and learn it all, some things
faster than others and some things more in depth than others, but damn, get
your feet wet at least... It might just save you that cross country
relocation because you can not find a CF job in your area. :-)

My 2 cents.

    I had this issue installing the Beta on a win2k pro machine even with a 256
  color graphics card.  In my case the issue turned out to be related to a
  previous JRun installation.  Not sure if that applies to your situation, but
  what I had to do was uninstall JRun, then edit my registry to get rid of any and
  all references to JRun (apparently the uninstall of JRun didn't do this
  completely ...), reboot, and then the CFMX install went fine.

    Again, not sure if that will help you in your situation but since the behavior
  I saw was the same I thought I'd at least mention it.

    Matt

    Additionally, when the installer gets to 100%, there is some scripting going
  on in the background that is not readily apparent.  Sometimes this can appear to
  be a locked up computer for as long as ten minutes or so.  Sometimes it is a
  lock-up.  Once it does complete, usually a re-boot is needed, although the
  specific instructions usually do not appear to tell you to do  the reboot.
    Upon rebooting, you must run CFMX administrator immediately, which will
  complete the install by running quite a few more scripts.

    This is one of the very unfortunate things about a great product, and that is
  that Macromedia just can't seem to get it together with their installer
  packages.  It is the same with their other products as well, and especially with
  updaters.

RE: Flex is out

2004-03-29 Thread Tyler Silcox
In other words: 

 
Flex was not developed:
    -To give the power of Flash to the people out in the trenches using such
products as DevNet/Studio MX everyday. Even though it could make their lives
easier and their products more powerful. 

 
But it was developed:
    -Only for big (read "rich") businesses that are ready to lay down 10s of
thousands of dollars on a couple of apps, therefore ensuring semi-high
revenue/ROI from the new product.  Later on you might give some alms to the
poor.

value in its target market. Flex is designed to meet the needs of
organizations who want to put the power of rich Internet applications to
work for strategic business systems. We definitely have our ears open on

Which clearly isn't a lot of the development community. 

I'm reminded of what happened to the database world when Microsoft released Access for US$99, and crushed a strong competitive field permanently as a result.  This seemed like another such long-term, take-control opportunity.  Looks like a different course is planned, and its one that seems loaded with examples of failure.

Thanks for listening anyway, Christine.  Enough about this.  I hope you guys succeed with Flex.

asp.net...yuk

It's not an issue of not liking learning new things. The issue is whether or 
not the new thing you are learning is likeable. And in this case likeable, 
fun, efficient, suitable, ease of use etc...which in my opinion asp.net 
fails on most counts for most small to medium web projects... which lucky 
for me, is where I'm at.

RE: Long startup times CFMX and random long running template

I'm not sure it's a lack of memory. Admittedly, I'm not very well versed in 
the inner workings of JRun, but my statements are based on almost 2 years of 
*empirical* evidence (and, sometimes, headaches). My guess is that it's the 
JVM acquiring its initial heap space (specified in jvm.config) that causes 
some of the slowdown. So, if anything, the reverse of your statement might 
be appropriate -- the *more* memory you allocate, the longer the pause is.

That being said, there are other processes going on (compilations, etc.) as 
well as memory allocation from what I've observed, so I doubt it's a pure 
memory issue.

Regards,
Dave.

I love speculation :-)

Have you looked at the Blackstone speculation blurbs? Flash this, 
Flash that. Next to the Flash we already have of course.
Have you seen that Flex can run on top of CF MX Enterprise?

My speculation would be that Flex currently is and will continue 
to be targeted at enterprise customers. However, we will 
gradually see Flex features show up in CF. Not enough to eat away 
the enterprise market of Flex itself, but just enough to give CF 
an edge over competing languages. That way Macromedia can sell 
their work twice :-)

RE: Flex is out

2004-03-29 Thread Christine Lawson
Hi,

I just thought I'd jump in here. The pricing of Flex is a reflection of its
value in its target market. Flex is designed to meet the needs of
organizations who want to put the power of rich Internet applications to
work for strategic business systems. We definitely have our ears open on
this list for any feedback you have regarding pricing, functionality, etc.,
but I'd also suggest you post to the wish form:

OT: COunt Characters with Javascript on a CFMX page

2004-03-29 Thread Ciliotta, Mario
Hi,

 
I am having a problem on a page where I have a text area that user can only
type in 8000.  I provide a count of each character used as they type so they
know were they are up to.  The problem is that all of a sudden the code is
counting a  as 3 characters and a new line as 6 characters.  The
original code worked correctly under CF4.5 but seems like it is not under MX.

 
Here is the _javascript_ that I use:

 
function update() {
   var old = document.f.counter.value;
   document.f.counter.value=document.f.box.value.length;
   if(document.f.counter.value > limit && old <= limit) {
 alert('Too much data in the text box!');
 if(document.styleSheets) {
   document.f.counter.style.fontWeight = 'bold';
   document.f.counter.style.color = '#ff'; } }
   else if(document.f.counter.value <= limit && old > limit
   && document.styleSheets ) {
   document.f.counter.style.fontWeight = 'normal';
   document.f.counter.style.color = '#00'; } 
   }

Has anyone had this problem before.

 
Thanks

RDS Timed out

2004-03-29 Thread Stan Winchester
RDS server is timing out within HS+ & CF-Studio 5 when I try to connect my
development box (CF-Studio 5 is on this box). I've restarted the CFMX
server, but I still don't have RDS within HS+ & CF-Studio 5. I can see my
RDS drives just fine, but when I try to connect to the data sources, it
times out. I thought to maybe do a repair install, but that option does not
seem to be available with MX. I've also added a new RDS server within HS+
just in case, but that does not good. 

System Information: XP Pro, CFMX 6,1,0,63958, Developer Edition  

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

The issue, in my experience, is that there is an inherent startup delay when 
accessing MX resources the first time after restarting. While your 
particular application may or may not be doing something process intensive 
up front, MX is an application that runs inside of a JRun instance. As such, 
there are initial compilation and caching processes going on between JRun 
and CFMX. Even after you are able to pull up CF pages in your browser, you 
may notice a big of "sluggishness" for the first few minutes while the 
background processes are acquiring the appropriate memory resources.

In short, it's just something you deal with.

Dave.

RE: why I love coldfusion...and not .net

2004-03-29 Thread Gaulin, Mark
I always thought learning something new was fun... but I guess if you want
to make it a drag, that's your business.

 
(I have no opinion of asp.net at this point since I haven't had the
opportunity to play with it... yet.)

I could sell $1,200.  $12,000 is enough to get me laughed out the door.

They are charging that much because someone made the decision that the
loss of volume and alienation of their grass roots will be made up for
by cash income.

Just like Allaire did with Spectra.

I would argue that this is a short term view.  MM isn't stupid, contrary
to what a lot of us are thinking right now.  To date I believe the only
major players that have gone up against MS and survived -- over any sort
of long term -- are Intuit and MM.  They *must* have decided they can
hold off on a generally available product for X months while MS catches
up to them.  

Me, I wouldn't push my luck, and would grab market- and mindshare and
run with it, lengthening the lead I already have... but of course I'm
just a simple geek prone to idle speculation.

Use cfusion_encrypt, which will yield a string (just hex digits, I believe)

Opposite of JSStringFormat()

2004-03-29 Thread Tangorre, Michael
Here's the deal...

 
encVal = Encrypt(someVar,someKey)
safeVal = JSStringFormat(encVal)

 
I need to use JSStringFormat to make the encrypted value JS safe, but when
trying to decrypt it, it obviosuly is thrown off since there are escape
slashes in the string nw... is there anyway to reverse JSStringFormat?

 
Thanks!

Hehehe, but I mean really. Flash is a time tested technology, but writing 
a whole site in flash is not. I guess they have some really big dogs lined up 
because it seems like bringing up technology through grass roots has been the way
macr has become who they are. It would only make logical sense to price
this in range of the lamers like us who would proliferate the market ...
but what do I know I am a bad business man :( ...

Benchmarks of different JVM's

2004-03-29 Thread Katz, Dov B (IT)
Has anyone done benchmarks using different JVM's with CF 6.1?

 
I'm wondering what measurable performance gains there are with switching
in a different JVM than that which ships with CF 6.1

 
If you've switched in a different one, is there any advice you'd give to
one considering such a move?

 
I operate a hobby site which is getting 400,000 page views a day on a
dedicated w2k box, and I'd like to see it as performant as possible.

 
Thanks

RE: why I love coldfusion...and not .net

2004-03-29 Thread Raymond Camden
Actually, I am _very_ impressed by .Net and c#. It is certainly not as RAD
as CF - but don't knock it especially if your only experience is the older
ASP stuff. .Net has some _very_ nice features and does somethings very well.

As just a random example - .Net has a built-in caching system that allows
for a max size, dependancies, etc. All stuff you can do with CF (and I have
w/ my scopeCache custom tags, as have others), but this is a native part of
the language.

Again - if you have not looked into it - you should. It will never be number
one in my book, but it is a strong number two.

Re: Slow query on CF5 why?

2004-03-29 Thread Frank Mamone
Hi Steve,

This particular one returns one record but there are others with the same symptom which return around 30 or so rows. Granted they are lengthy queries.

It's a shared server so there are several applications accessing the same DB server and CF server. It is consistently slow.

RE: Slow query on CF5 why?

2004-03-29 Thread Steve Nelson
Does it return a huge amount of data? That could tie up the odbc driver. Is
your CF server's CPU peaked at 100% for some reason? If you're running on
two servers, the DB server could be fine, but the CF server could be
overloaded. Does it do it every time or just the first time?

Yes, so much for MM leveraging their mass of developers, and I guess we

RE: Monitor if newsletter is opened

2004-03-29 Thread Arden Weiss
All of my CF5 code ran without problems in CFMX 6.1 (didn't buy into
6.0) -- in fact, I still have CF5 installed on one machine and I test
some code I write under both 5 and 6.1 to make sure it runs in both
environments.

The only anoyance in 6.1 vs 5 is that when a CFQUERY fails on a called
action page, I get a blank page displayed without any debugging
information. There may be a setting to get around this, but I have not
bothered to go looking for it.
