RE: Ordering Structure
The problem is this can't be done directly. You can sort on the values,
but then you loose the reference to the keys. I would convert the struct
to an array of structs or a 2D array and sort that. You can find UDFs to
do it
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm/ArraySort2D
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm/ArrayOfStructsSort
cfscript
i = 0;
aStruct = ArrayNew(2);
for(key in departments){
i = i + 1;
aStruct[i][1] = key;
aStruct[i][2] = departments[key];
}
aStruct = ArraySort2D(aStruct,2,textnocase);
/cfscript
cfoutput
cfloop index=i from=1 to=#ArrayLen(aStruct)#
#aStruct[i][1]#: #aStruct[i][2]#br/

RE: JAVASCRIPT help
Keep in mind the value property of a select is not supported on all
browsers. I usually consider a textbox/textarea empty if there are only
spaces (I usually trim the values anyway.
Also keep in mind that title and target are properties of the form.
To avoid mixing up formfields and properties, I always have the
formfield names in uppercase (JS is case sensitive).
Finally, you can set the focus on the field that has an error to help
your user fill in the form.

RE: Using structure - or array? don't know
I don't see very well what you are trying to do here, but you will probably need a structur (or maybe array) of structures. The error comes from the fact that in the second loop, you try to insert a key that already exists. You can just use array notation instead of structinsert if you want to avoid that. But it looks like an error in logic here. I'm willing to help you, but you will have to explain your problem clearly (what do you have, what are you trying to achieve). You can even drop me an email off list if you want.

User defined templating
About 4 years, I wrote a publishing tool allowing neighborhoods and the like to easily publish and maintain their own web sites... totally web-based admin.The only HTML needed was in the template design. I wanted the users to be able to design their own templates, but with dynamic elements... ie, some things only appear if the user is logged in, and the ability to generate a dynamic list of custom pages, control of things appearing based on whether or not they are disabled in the administration, etc... So I developed my own little template markup language, and wrote some cold fusion code to parse the templates and generate the HTML on the fly. The details of these special markup tags are here: http://www.clicksitecommunities.com/index.cfm?PAGE_ID=8 the template parser is not complicated, it's just a bunch of find and replaces, really, I'm not even using any regular expressions (I bet I could simplify the code dramatically if I did) My question:How are other people doing this kind of thing? I've got another application that I'm building where I'd like to allow people to custom design templates with similarly dynamic content, and I suspect that this solution, while it obviously works, may not be the best. - Rick [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Security with CFCs
My current thinking is that there are many functions specific to application security - things like authenticating, adding/editing/removing groups, etc. I've started putting them into a DP_Security.cfc which will be loaded as a property of the DP_Application.cfc (I could have put them inside it, but it was already getting a little long). This isn't a bad way to do things depending on your particular situation.If you have to do things like checking roles and other security-related stuff pretty frequently, using a single CFC for all that functionality might fit the bill.Particularly if you're doing something like putting a user CFC in your session, having another CFC that contains all your security related methods and having that interact with the user CFC in your session can work quite well.Since you said you didn't want to get too deep into design patterns, etc. I'll leave out the discussion of how you'd probably *really* want to do the interaction between the security CFC and the session user CFC ... If a populated user's component means you've logged in, what should indicate no log in?An empty component?A component that hasn't been inited or no users component at all? There are any number of ways to handle this.In a recent project I used a session facade pattern for my user, and in essence this does end up creating an empty user object in the session scope if you check something like user.getEmail() and there is no object present.Depending on how you implement things you might have to do an IsDefined() on your user CFC *and* check for the existence of data like a user's role id or whatever. Should the security system, when authenticating, return the user object or just the UserKey and let the user object populate itself? There are numerous design patterns to help with all of this as well, but basically if you're talking about the log in process itself, what I would do it check for a valid login, get data back about that user, populate your user object, and put that in your session.Personally I'd have the security CFC (or however you implement this) either return a populated user object to the caller or just handle all the steps above itself. In the end I want to easily say isLoggedIn() or isAdmin() or isEntitled() - preferably from the session-based user component.But at the same time it seems odd to me that a single set of DB tables has multiple components operating on them. You might need to elaborate on this a bit.If by from the session-based user component you literally mean that the user CFC would have methods in it like isEntitled(), I wouldn't do that.I'd have my security CFC interact with the session user object (preferably via a facacde).In my mind the user CFC should just have information about the user, and you would do authentication, etc. via another CFC whose only job is to do those sorts of things. Hope that helps--feel free to follow up with me on any of this.I'm always very glad to see people using CFCs and OO more!

RE: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04

OT: Advice on Max number of files in a dir.
Hi all, I am using CFCONTENT to retrieve photos stored off of the root directory. I didn't think the site would grow so fast, and I have been allowing users to upload all of the images to one folder. I am now at about 6000 images and am woried about performance issues both with CFCONTENT and Win2k. What is the maximum number of files allowable in a Win2k directory? 10,000? Any info appreciated.

Re: OT: Advice on Max number of files in a dir.
Well, We have a directory with 55,000 images (don't ask) and these are huge images (about 8-20 MB each). But instead of using cfcontent to serve the images, we use an image server. We haven't noticed any performance issues. George [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Advice on Max number of files in a dir.

I am now at about 6000 images and am woried about performance issues both with CFCONTENT and Win2k. I would recommend that you reorganize your files using some easily understood directory scheme. For example, you might create year and month directories. What is the maximum number of files allowable in a Win2k directory? 10,000? To the best of my knowledge, there's no specific limit on a single directory. There is a limit on how many files can be within a single volume. For Windows Server 2003, that's 4,294,967,295 files. I'm pretty sure that's the same in Windows 2000 - I don't think NTFS has changed between versions. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deploy guide/en-us/Default.asp?url=""> ployguide/en-us/sdccc_fsv_duel.asp However, you will find that lots of operations get slower when you have lots of files within a single directory. I ran into performance problems on my laptop with 50,000 files in a directory. Some operations were still quite fast - locating a specific file by name within a program using CFINCLUDE, for example - while anything involving the Windows GUI was intolerably slow. Browsing the directory via the command line was also pretty slow.

Re: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode
I believe there are areas where CFMX CFML could improve to be closer to Java. 1. Optional Primitive Data Types (int, long, String, boolen etc) 2. Optional Strongly typed language (int a != int A) 3. Improve the Collection Framework Availability. I think the above Optional features when turned on would help translate CFMX CFML closer to Java Contructs. Joe Eugene - Original Message - From: Dick Applebaum To: CF-Talk Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 9:16 PM Subject: Re: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode OK, I think I agree that a machine transformation (sift) of one programming language (architecture) into another will likely be inefficient.I've seen enough of these (sift programs) in my computer experience that I understand their limitations.But I also understand their advantages -- often the quickest, least manpower intensive way to get from A to B. Often what you save in manpower, you can spend a small fraction on additional hardware and have a wash. I know it isn't elegant, but it is practical -- and sometimes the only way. I guess, the question is is it (CFMX Java) good (efficient) enough? There may be a lot of other contributing factors: -- The longer learning time or ramp-up for native Java applications. -- the availability/unavailability of competent Java programmers -- the life of an application -- the maintainability of the code by others. -- selfishly, my ability in CF vs Java These are very subjective considerations -- All things considered, can I create a reasonable Java program (mainly) in CF. Stated another way, could CF be a RADD Java development language for the rest of us? Isn't that the main reason that IBM is remarketing CFMX? Dick On Jun 28, 2004, at 5:12 PM, Barney Boisvert wrote: It'll definitely be much worse than if you write it in Java, no question there.There's simply no way to make a machine transform one language into a second language with the same proficiency as a human writing the second language directly.CF is an amazingly high-level language, and droping it down to something as primitive as Java is an enormous task. However, before we go too far down the road, is this topic anything we should care tremendously about?Obviously we don't want to use slow software, but Macromedia knows this, and they understand that if their product offering isn't up to par performance-wise, no one will buy it (JSP, .NET, PHP, etc. are waiting for us).We as CF developers have an interest, but we can't do anything about MM's CF engine either way, so why even care? heresyIf you want a fast application server, don't use CF, pick something else./heresyYou'll have to deal with DB connections directly, roll your own mailing scripts, and whatever else, but that's the tradeoff for performance.Personally, I'm very happy making that trade.

Re: Advice on Max number of files in a dir.
I would recommend that you reorganize your files using some easily understood directory scheme. For example, you might create year and month directories. Yep, subsequent projects used a directory scheme based on filenames (which themselves have a naming system). We decided on 100 files per directory, since we also have an app that dumps the entire directory content to the browser. Using an image server, the 100 images take about 20-25 seconds to load up in thumbnail size on a broadband connection. Adequate!

Re: Blackstone @ CF-FUN '04
Ben, I was at the DC WAMMO demo last night, and as soon as I left, thought of a question I meant to ask:if one of the goals of Blackstone is to simplify application development for the Dreamweaver crowd, has there been any thought to the last mile of connecting a form back to the database? You've said [sorry if I misinterpret] that there's an aim at the I just want to e-mail the form response/insert the form response into a table crowd - which I think is absolutely great.One of the most common questions I think this audience has is Ok, I've made my form in Dreamweaver, figured out this running it off the server thing, now what? Would it be terribly hard to extend the CFFORM tag to generate a self-posting form with a DATASOURCE and TABLENAME attribute that created a self-posting form that used CFINSERT/CFUPDATE-ish generation of invisible SQL to get people past the hurdle?Essential, provide some simple data binding mechanism.Combined with the automatic-pagination wizard I've seen in Dreamweaver, it could really simplify / wizardify the development of simple master/detail CRUD applications. Of course, there's probably a DW wizard out there to do it already, but if I hit alt-tab right now I got to studio :).

CFGRAPH issues?
I am re-deploying a CF based app that was written in CF in 2001, which extensively uses KavaChart for graphs of emissions from a trash burning plant.The charts do not get that complicated, usually just bar and line graphs as a value extended over time. My question is, in past (5.0) versions of CF, I heard through the grapevine that there were a LOT of problems with CFCHART/CFGRAPH.I don't remember or know what they were, so I just wanted to know if the MX version has fixed these problems or not.If not, what do others use for their graphing solutions?Price is somewhat not an issue, this company has money budgeted.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode
heresyIf you want a fast application server, don't use CF, pick something else./heresyYou'll have to deal with DB connections directly, roll your own mailing scripts, and whatever else, but that's the tradeoff for performance.Personally, I'm very happy making that trade. Unfortunately, the common issues with web application performance rarely have anything to do with the speed of the language used to write the application, in my experience. If you're really concerned about speed, figure out how you can cache more, and how you can improve database access.

RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode
I totally agree on #1 but not limit to primitives.I believe you should be able to create strongly typed (your use of the word typed in #2 is not correct) variables that map exactly to java instances of any java class.Of course there are issues with passing these around and storing in different scopes, so I would vote for having this available only for var scope variables inside functions. There are two reasons for this.First, if you decompile the genreated class files in 6.1 (or even in 6.0) you'll see that CF jumps through a lot of code to retrieve a variable from the scope, auto-scalarize it, and often cast it using special cf-specific casting functions every time a variable is referenced.All this would be removed if we could directly use java variables.Second, all use of java variables in CF goes through the reflection layer and is therefore significantly slower than corresponding code written directly in Java or in a JSP.Direct access to Java variables would remove the reflection requirement. Case sensitivity (your #2) would not benefit the language in any way in my opinion.Not sure about the collection availability--if we have java variables, then we have java collections, so it's really a part of #1.

Thanks for the advice... JW Hi all, I am using CFCONTENT to retrieve photos stored off of the root directory. I didn't think the site would grow so fast, and I have been allowing users to upload all of the images to one folder. I am now at about 6000 images and am woried about performance issues both with CFCONTENT and Win2k. What is the maximum number of files allowable in a Win2k directory? 10, 000? Any info appreciated.

RE: first time array
Tony... why are structures a better way to go than than arrays While I'm not Tony, I wouldn't say that structures are better than arrays or vice-versa. They're different, and which is best for you at a specific time depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're trying to describe the attributes of a single thing, a structure usually makes more sense. If, on the other hand, you're trying to describe a bunch of items together, an array usually makes more sense. If you want to describe the attributes of each item within an array, you can create an array of structures. !--- structure example --- cfset mydog = StructNew() cfset mydog.name = Fido cfset mydog.breed = Chihuahua ... !--- array example --- cfset mycart = ArrayNew(1) cfset mycart[1] = bread cfset mycart[2] = milk ... !--- array of structures example --- cfset mycart = ArrayNew(1) cfset mycart[1] = StructNew() cfset mycart[1].name = bread cfset mycart[1].price = 2.5 cfset mycart[2] = StructNew() cfset mycart[2].name = milk cfset mycart[2].price = 2.25 ...

Would it be terribly hard to extend the CFFORM tag to generate a self-posting form with a DATASOURCE and TABLENAME attribute that created a self-posting form that used CFINSERT/CFUPDATE-ish generation of invisible SQL to get people past the hurdle?Essential, provide some simple data binding mechanism.Combined with the automatic-pagination wizard I've seen in Dreamweaver, it could really simplify / wizardify the development of simple master/detail CRUD applications.

It was a product called TrueSpectra, which recently got bought by a company called Scene7. Here is the URL for the integrated product that we are using: http://www.scene7.com/platform/infinite_imaging_server.asp. Very handy resource if your apps are image-centered. Basically you keep one master file (we use fpx format) of your image on the server and then whenever you need various, you make http calls and place the result on the browser via the img tag's src attribute. There are also some flash zoom apps that are really good and stable. George [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: first time array
You should use structures if you want to group info about something (like you are doing) because you have an alphanumerical index that can reflect the content. It makes writing code easier. In your example, you had to remember what 1,2,3 and 4 stands for. If you use a struct this is easier Example: Employee = ArrayNew(1); Employee[1] = Pascal; Employee[2] = Peters; Here you have to remember 1 stands for first name and 2 for last name Employee = StructNew(); Employee[firstname] = Pascal; Employee.lastname = Peters; It is easier to know what employee.firstname means (and makes more readable code).

You can't really disable the CF Admin, even in production, because you need to do stuff in there occasionally.However, I usually expose it using a dedicated virtual host on the machine, on a separate IP address, with it's own SSL certificate, and throw web server security over it as well.If that vhost is the only way to get at the admin, then if you want to turn it off, you can disable the vhost.

Notifying Server of Client Side Events
CF 5.0 I am converting an HTML site that uses a lot of Bookmark linking to CF.I need to track when the visitor moves from one Bookmark to another on the same page. I could break each section of the page into a separate CFM template, but that would cause a server request, and slow down response time. Is there some kind of client side (or JS) function that would communicate back to the CF server when a link was click on?

RE: Configuring Multiple instances of CFMX on JRUN
So it is possible to run the CFAdmin under a different Virtual Host? Yes. How do you accomplish this when running mulitple CFMX instances on the same System? You can set up separate virtual web servers for each instance, just for running the CF Admin for each. If there are mutliple jvm.config.servername, will the JMC (JRun Managment Console) recognize them for each of the servers? Well, first, if you don't need separate JVM configurations for each JRun instance, I wouldn't bother with this. Second, whether you have separate JVM configurations for each instance or not, I would recommend that you avoid editing the JVM configuration information within the JMC, as that often breaks the jvm.config file. Instead, edit it manually from the filesystem, and make sure you keep a copy of the previous version.

Re: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode
able to create strongly typed (your use of the word typed in #2 is not correct) I am not sure what you mean #2 is not correct. int a=1 and int A=2 are NOT the same in Java. Oh..i should have said Case Sensitive http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/Java5.htm#1160838 I am not sure of the validity of the above documentation. Java String[] == CFMX Array == Vector. If you do the above and try to manipulate the contents of the String[] as a Vector -- Fails. var scope is good idea, how about some of the CFMX variables that are forced Pass by Value instead of Pass by Reference? I think that could be solved by bringing CFMX closer to Java Architecture. files in 6.1 (or even in 6.0) you'll see that CF jumps through a lot of code Very True Case sensitivity (your #2) would not benefit the language I am not sure of the internal workings of Java on this, but i do believe there is a reason why Java is Case Sensitive. Joe - Original Message - From: Samuel Neff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:32 AM Subject: RE: How does CF generated Java bytecode compare with Native Java bytecode I totally agree on #1 but not limit to primitives.I believe you should be able to create strongly typed (your use of the word typed in #2 is not correct) variables that map exactly to java instances of any java class. Of course there are issues with passing these around and storing in different scopes, so I would vote for having this available only for var scope variables inside functions. There are two reasons for this.First, if you decompile the genreated class files in 6.1 (or even in 6.0) you'll see that CF jumps through a lot of code to retrieve a variable from the scope, auto-scalarize it, and often cast it using special cf-specific casting functions every time a variable is referenced.All this would be removed if we could directly use java variables.Second, all use of java variables in CF goes through the reflection layer and is therefore significantly slower than corresponding code written directly in Java or in a JSP.Direct access to Java variables would remove the reflection requirement. Case sensitivity (your #2) would not benefit the language in any way in my opinion.Not sure about the collection availability--if we have java variables, then we have java collections, so it's really a part of #1.
