RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article
Excuse me? MM is providing a handful of pre-built gateways to begin with, much less having a consistent interface provided by MM which allows others who are Java knowledgeable to create, package and distribute additional gateways. At which point, yes, it is a very valid argument. The end result will be that developers who are not Java knowledgeable will be able to do things which would otherwise require extensive knowledge of Java. My response was in relation to writing an event gateway; not using an existing one. CF does not make it easier or harder to write an event gateway since you can only write an event gateway in CF. Further, writing an event gateway requires knowledge of Java. Thus, you argument is not valid. If you are going to argue against me then you have to stay in the context of the thread of positions don't make sense. Didn't realize it was in that context... but okay -- since I read the other one where you quoted the context you were speaking within specifically -- the _minor_ revision then is -- if you don't like the way the pre-built gateways work, buy or use one someone else has built, which is still a lot easier than building one yourself if you don't have lots of Java expertise. The fact that CF provides a consistent framework for that means that it will be easier for people who have Java expertise to provide them to people who don't. Even if it's only a linguistic thing, the fact that people are talking about the CF native feature will mean they will be more accessible in all likelyhood - there will be more information about them, etc and likely more people will be looking for them (and on the other side of the supply-demand system building) once it's a part of the common language of native CF features. cfset mystruct.mykey = 0 I use the CF -- CF uses the Java object. This is not the same thing as me using the underlying Java object. What about cfset mystruct.put(foo, bar)? I could, but I don't. So... that doesn't change my statement any. Probably. But very few (if any) are using their own application schemes instead of cfapplication. What does that have to do with cflogin or frameworks? You'd made the comment that MM is historically not good at creating frameworks for people to use in comparison to the CF community.

RE: Event Gateway on BlueDragon, etc. ( was:BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article)
That would mean the app server would have to poll the message queue and then invoke a CFC as needed, which could certainly work. However, then you would still need some other application to respond to 3rd party events and put them on the queue. At that point, if seems easier just to have a gateway that invokes a CFC directly.

That is a fair argument, but I think it is too early to tell whether the event gateway will provide this consistency. Again, the framework it provides could be great, but it could also suck. That is the great thing about community frameworks; if they suck you can avoid them and use something that doesn't. If the framework is built-in then you have little choice to use something else. I could, but I don't. So... that doesn't change my statement any. My point is that the following are all the same: cfset mystruct.foo = bar cfset mystruct[foo] = bar cfset mystruct.put(foo, bar) The first two lines are CFML syntax, while the last line is Java syntax. They all work because a struct is in fact a Java object. Therefore, any of those lines above are uses of a Java object. You'd made the comment that MM is historically not good at creating frameworks for people to use in comparison to the CF community. I was just pointing out a notable exception.

RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article
Hmmm...the answer to that is unclear, and depends on your perspective and what features you need most. If you rely heavily on Flash integration, then my guess is the ColdFusion will always be a better choice than BlueDragon. On the other hand, if you're looking for ASP.NET integration (for example), then BlueDragon is the obvious (only) choice. As for lagging big time in the compatibility dept, I'll only point out the Blackstone is finally delivering in 2005 features that were pioneered by BlueDragon and have been in use by our customers since 2002 (standard J2EE WAR/EAR deployment, precompiled CFML templates for source-less deployment, CFIMAGE tag, etc.). Other more recent features, such as CFC serialization, are supported by BlueDragon 6.1 now, but won't be in Blackstone until 2005. So, again, the question of who is leading and who is lagging isn't as clear-cut as you might think. The feature sets of ColdFusion and BlueDragon will never be exactly the same, so the choice will come down to: which features do you need the most? Repeat slowly: choice is good...choice is good...choice is good...

Re: Blackstone summary
On Aug 18, 2004, at 10:12 AM, Matt Liotta wrote: This brings me to the event gateway, which is supposed to liberate CFML from HTTP. Sure there are tons of reasons why you would want to have a CFML-based web application integrate with protocols other than HTTP. I have integrated CFML-based web applications in the past with a variety of protocols without the support of an event gateway. Certainly it would have been easier and more elegant with an event gateway, but I am not so sure the event gateway is the missing piece. To me, it seems the missing piece is the ability to invoke CFML from other sources than an HTTP request. While the event gateway will provide that, it seems it will also provide more than that. Ahhh... I understand what you are saying -- you want ti invoke a CFM or CFC directly. from outside CFMX without theindirection/overhead of listening for and triggering an event. That's certainly valid! I can think of several places where this approach would be superior. But that doesn't negate the value of an event gateway. That said, it should be possible to implement Both ways of invoking a CFC/CFM--- Isn't what you want an API that provides the same interface that (part of) the event gateway uses to invoke the CFC? If so, I suspect that it would be relatively easy (from a technical standpoint) for Macromedia to provide that API. Whether that is in Macromedia's best interest is a consideration. Because what you are asking for is the ability to incorporate CFML Classes (CFCs, CFMs) into a Java (or other) program. Does that mean thatyour package includes: 1) Your Java app 2) Your CFMs CFCs 3) The CFMX/Blackstone Redistro jar I can see this as being viable as long as the manufacturer (Macromedia in this case) can make acceptable income on 3. Do we really need a whole bunch of infrastructure to allow invocation of CFML from other sources? I don't think we do. The reason I feel that way is because I think it is far too easy for the community and 3rd party companies to provide various protocol adapters. With a simple Java API for the invocation of CFML it would be quite easy for someone with Java experience to write these adapters. Whether Macromedia or someone else supplies event gateways or protocol adapters is of little importance to the average CFML person. In either case, someone with Java expertise must create them and your average CFML developer will just make use of them. True, but... There are are a series of events that occur within the CFMX system, itself. Logically, it seems that it would be easier to process these with an enternal event gateway, rather that attempt to do this from outside the system. The set of applications that monitor things internal to CFMX and application activity come to mind. Consider that you you could write a fantastic performance monitoring/tuning/debugging tool. Certainly you could that external to CFMX, but it would likely be easier with an event gateway (where you could intercept events without consuming them). And, yes, you would need to write some Java code to do this ... unless we have something like cfmessage that allowsus to setup the listener - processor linkage. The real difference is constraints placed on the implementation by the event gateway. We have already heard that the event gateway will invoke CFC methods. What if we don't want CFC methods to be invoked? Will we have to write CFCs that then in turn call CFMs? What if the event gateway framework makes assumptions that aren't true for all protocols thus making it hard or impossible to implement some other protocol Macromedia didn't think about? All of these problems go away if there is a simply Java API for the invocation of CFML. Heck, Macromedia can even supply a bunch of protocol adapters if they want; they just don't need to create a framework and force it on others. Not only that, but if Macromedia didn't spend time on building stuff the community is perfectly capable of doing they might have time to work on other things the community can't deliver. Let's see if we can convince them to do both! Dick [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

That is the great thing about community frameworks; if they suck you can avoid them and use something that doesn't. If the framework is built-in then you have little choice to use something else.

Where: 1) the cfmessage tag sets up the listener and denotes a cfc. to be invoked when the listener fires 2) the CFC method receives the message in the argument named its input parameter processes the message as desired. Certainly there are a lot more details, but this would be the overall approach Practical?

RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article
In that case, isn't it too early to be having this discussion? Or at least, to expect it to be a meaningful discussion? Not at all! This is the perfect time to air concerns regarding Blackstone as it allows Macromedia time to address them before the product ships if they choose to. They may have already addressed the issue or they may not have thought of it. Better to be safe and discuss it now. Just because something is built-in doesn't mean you have to use it. There are plenty of CFMX applications using something other than CFLOGIN and IsUserInRole for authentication and authorization, just as there were plenty of CF 5 applications that didn't use CFAUTHENTICATE, etc. Maybe, but it also might not be possible to invoke CFC's from alternate protocols without using the event gateway thus requiring you to use it. -Matt [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article
You are missing the context of the thread though. Maybe I am. I don't think so, but it's always possible. :) This thread has been very long, and, as most mailing list conversations go, it's covered quite a bit of territory. The original statement was as follows. Which itself was a reply to previous message. As you can see, the poster suggested that a new gateway could be written, so yes it does indeed require knowledge of Java. Since this particular use can is not made easier by CF and requires knowledge of Java then the argument that CF makes it easier is not valid. I disagree. I'm sure ColdFusion (the platform) will provide an infrastructure which makes developing gateways relatively easy. Further, as I stated in my previous post, I think it provides ColdFusion developers, gateway developers, and the ColdFusion community with a common interface and language for describing it. Now, as to your argument as a whole, I don't think it's a mistake to say you've spent a good deal of your time in this thread arguing that ColdFusion gateways offer very little. You've argued that very few applications built in ColdFusion will have a use for gateways because very few J2EE applications utilize JMS. Though I agree that a small percentage of applications will use them, I think most developers will use gateways in their applications at some point. By way of example, a relatively small percentage of my applications use COM interoperability, Web services, or even the cfdirectory tag. Nevertheless, I find those features indispensable. You've also stated that you don't believe the built in gateways will be enough: What is the likelihood of the built-in gateways doing everything you need? In my previous message, I stated that I think the gateways already announced sound like they'll suffice for most of what I've already dreamed up. I hope to be proven wrong because that means I will have found new uses for gateways. :) All in all, you've been arguing that you can already build gateway-like interfaces which invoke ColdFusion pages (ostensibly using Java or another lower level language to detect the event and invoke a ColdFusion page via HTTP?). For these reasons, you've implied (strongly) that gateways are a waste of Macromedia's resources. Do you still think I'm missing the context? -ben [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

fileReader = createObject(java, java.io.FileReader);
fileReader = fileReader.init(filename);
lineReader = createObject(java,java.io.LineNumberReader);
lineReader = lineReader.init(fileReader);
thisLine = true;
while (isDefined(thisLine)) {
thisLine = lineReader.readLine();
lineCount = LineCount + 1; // do any processing of the line here
}
/cfscript

brcount = #lineCount# | #GetTickCount() - timer#
/cfoutput

Re: Blackstone summary
you want ti invoke a CFM or CFC directly. from outside CFMX without theindirection/overhead of listening for and triggering an event. What would much more intersting IMHO would be the contrary: Invoke external functions from CF just like if it was a CF function. Yes, there are CFXs, but having extra libraries of functions that could just be added to the basic library would be great. You could just install a DLL like for a CFX, and all the functions it contains are automatically callable, with no need to include the source. And functions could be developped in any language, including CF. Third parties could be more interested in developing tools since they would only have to give the executable. I duno, but this feature was definitely one of the key factors in the popularity of a language like Clipper, and a hudge advantage over dBase some 10 years ago. Clipper was so popular, because many third party tools were availaible on the marked. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: CFX_MyHelloColdFusion
Joe,
It appears as though you the cfx.jar is not in your class path.This JAR
contains all of the interface classes that the ColdFusion Server uses to
connect to your Java CFX.
For CFMX this can be located in the lib subdirectory of your server
installation.
For CF 5 you can locate this in the Java subdirectory of your server
installation.

Re: SOLVED: Re: Log file reader
So, I have a question after playing around with this (wow is it much faster
than the easycfm way!):
I read up a little on cfscript, is it really true that there is no way to
use SQL queries inside a cfscript block?I am VERY new to cfscript, but I
thought that there was a way that has been mentioned in here before.This
method is not going to do me much good if I can't parse out and put vals in
the DB...
Thanks Dick, this is pretty cool...

Hey Joe
Your No Class Reader Works Great!
much faster than the other! (almost as fast as a cffile read of
the
entire file).
I simplified the EOF test so I could use a While loop.
Thanks

Here's the revised code:
cfsetting enableCFOutputOnly=yes /
cfset lineCount = 0 /
cfset timer = GetTickCount() /
cfscript
filename = /Users/Richard/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml;
fileReader = createObject(java, java.io.FileReader);
fileReader = fileReader.init(filename);
lineReader = createObject(java,java.io.LineNumberReader);
lineReader = lineReader.init(fileReader);
thisLine = true;
while (isDefined(thisLine)) {
thisLine = lineReader.readLine();
lineCount = LineCount + 1; // do any processing of the line here
}
/cfscript
cfoutput
brcount = #lineCount# | #GetTickCount() - timer#
/cfoutput
cfsetting enableCFOutputOnly=no /
I always forget to kill blank lineson this sort of thing --

RE: CFX_MyHelloColdFusion
Trying the most basic cfx tag to see if i can get one working.

Re: cfx_MyHelloColdFusion
ok - let me play w/ the env. vars...
i also get similar errors (same w/o text from Sun One Studio) compling from the command line as: javac -classpath CFusionMX\lib\cfx.jar c:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes\MyHelloColdFusion.java

Joe,
It appears as though you the cfx.jar is not in your class path.This JAR
contains all of the interface classes that the ColdFusion Server uses to
connect to your Java CFX.
For CFMX this can be located in the lib subdirectory of your server
installation.
For CF 5 you can locate this in the Java subdirectory of your server
installation.

Re: unicode with cf5 and mysql
Try adding useUnicode=truecharacterEncoding=UTF8 to the connection string field on the datasource's advanced settings page.I don't know if CF5 has such a thing though, so you might not be able to. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 18 Aug 2004 16:37:46 -0400, dan martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone know the trick to get utf-8 data stored in a database to display properly in cf-5?

Fusebox Conf interviews 5: Steve Nelson on Fusedocs

Steve: Yes, I think Fusedocs may be the most underused aspect of FLiP. Hal: Well, no one likes documentation. Steve: I started off not liking it either. I couldn't see the point of it, other than for posterity. It's like those admonitions to eat your vegetables or be nice. It's hard to argue against, but it's even harder to take seriously. Hal: I remember we used to have long, passionate arguments about this. Steve: Yes, when you first came up with these crazy things called Fusedocs, I thought, There's Crazy Hal again. Hal: It's nice to be held in high regard by one's peers... Steve: But one day, I had a realization. You weren't talking about documenting your code; you were talking about coding your documentation! Hal: Exactly right, Steve. Steve: A lot of people use Fusedocs simply to document the existing app, which is OK, but writing them BEFORE the app gets written is where the power is. Hal: I think everyone's probably tired of hearing my story about my friend from Boston who got a contract to develop a large, ecommerce site. Steve: The one that had to be done in one month? Hal: That's the one. When he asked me for help, I thought it was impossible, especially since I was working on a huge project under a very tight deadline, but we were able to do it using FLiP. We wrote the Fusedocs and sent them off overseas. The coding took 48 hours and the job was successful. Steve: That's what SecretAgents.com is based on: a well-architected application that can be distributed to many developers, wherever they live. And the secret behind SecretAgents is Fusedocing before you write the app. Hal: Well, gee, now that we've told everyone about Fusedocs, why should anyone come to the conference? Steve: Because just knowing ABOUT them won't do anyone any good. And there are a LOT of ways to screw Fusedocs up so that they just cost extra time, but don't help out much. Hal: Ah! So you're going to show people how to write good Fusedocs? Steve: Yes, how to write Fusedocs that can enormously affect the speed and quality of code that's written. I've got some great tools for helping with Fusedocs. And Sandy Clark wrote tag completion files that plug into HomeSite, Studio, or Dreamweaver to make writing Fusedocs really easy. Hal: Maybe you can take this occasion of your talk to finally agree with me on all the other stuff we've argued about? Sort of make a clean breast of it in front of all the Fuseboxers? Steve: Yeah, that's gonna happen. Everybody come to the conference so they can see me reduce Hal to tears with the power of my argument! Hal: I've often been reduced to tears in my attempts to follow your arguments. There's only so much illogic a man can take. Steve: Well, one thing we can agree on: Fusedocs rock when they're done right. Hal: Amen, brother. --- Fusebox Conference is organized by TeraTech who received four CFDJ awards.

Re: SOLVED: Re: Log file reader
Thank Joe Rinehart -- he created the code.
As to executing a query within cfscript
Know you can't --- but you can fudge it
create a function (or CFC that issues the query based on a string
passed toit.The string contains the SQL statements).
within the script tag invoke the function which returns the record set
Howie Hamlin had a thread on this earlier today.
BTW, It is generally thought to be a good idea to generalize this
approach and put all your db calls into CFCs ( code reusability).I
have even seen recommendations that you write these CFCs like like OOP
objects with getters and setters for each field in the db.I don't
know if that level of implementation is warranted on most projects.
But I do find it useful to gather all my queries into a CFC (or CFCs)
where a function has a default columnlist and action that can be
overridden when the function is called.

Re: Dreamweaver Find RE
I know this is true of HS+, so I assume it of Dreamweaver: First, $ represents end of file, not end of line, so use whatever literal linebreak your system or setup uses. That's odd since the Help built in to DW states $ is end of line Second, backreferences are done using backslashes instead of dollar signs, so use \1 instead of $1. I was used to using \1 but in the DW help it says... Use parentheses to set off groupings within the regular _expression_ to be referred to later. Then use $1, $2, $3, and so on in the Replace With field to refer to the first, second, third, and later parenthetical groupings. Note: In the Search For text box, to refer to a parenthetical grouping earlier in the regular _expression_, use \1, \2, \3, and so on instead of $1, $2, $3. I'm actually stalling on the Find portion even before I actually try to replace anything. Finally, the regex you wrote (if it worked) would add the option tags to every line in the file.I'm not sure if that was your intent. Yes that is what I wanted.I have a stack of column text I want to wrap in the before and after strings in my example.DW lets you find and replace line by line so I was going to step forward 20-30 lines then cancel. --Ben CF Coder2 wrote: [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Web Form Data Security
So is that adequate? yes.You are invulnerable to sql injection if you use it on all of your inputs.As in from-the-planet-Krypton invulnerable. What other best practices are there to ensure nothing can happen? Unplug your web server from the internet and turn it off. No, seriously, there is no way you can be absoultely secure.You can do your due diligence but you will never be safe from *everything* a determined attacker will throw at you. Some other things you can do are scrub your url parms for funny stuff. In the most recent discussion on this Jochem mentioned that simply plugging in htmleditformat() around your vars will proof them agaist cross-site scripting.I toss this into Application.cfm. cfif Len(Trim(cgi.query_string)) gt 0 cfset variables.QueryDelim = ? cfelse cfset variables.QueryDelim = /cfif cfset variables.thisURLVar=cgi.script_namevariables.QueryDelimurldecode(cgi.query_string) CF_CodeCleaner input=#variables.thisurlvar# r_output=myURL cfif CompareNoCase(variables.thisURLVar,variables.myURL) cfheader statuscode=500 statustext=Server Error cfabort /cfif This uses a custom tag you can get out of the DevEx and may be overkill. Still, it only eats about 10ms per page view and brings a beatific albeit somewhat vacant look into my eyes. You can also test for a valid referer on your forms, but those can be easily faked by anyone who is serious.The only way to put that one to bed is to use those graphical thingies on a form where a human user has read it and type in the letters in the graphic.I forget what they are called.

Re: Web Form Data Security
XSS is cross site scripting, which is where a malicious user injects
some code that will be displayed on your site (and consequently
assumed to come from you by your users).Comments on blogs are an
example.If I drop a SCRIPT tag into a blog comment that launches a
popup window to porn site X, that's an example of XSS.
So I submit scriptwindow.open('http://www.google.com')/script' as
a comment.Next time someone views the page, a window will pop up,
because that string was insert into the body of the page with all the
other comments.Running it through HTMLEditFormat(), however, would
yield this string
lt;scriptgt;window.open('http://www.google.com')lt;/scriptgt;
which, when inserted into the body of the comments page, will render
as the text I submitted.No more unauthorized popup.
It gets trickier if you want to allow some HTML (like B, I, U, A and
IMG) tags, but nothing else.
cheers,
barneyb

However, when a field is left empty such ss company_name, it will send me back and it will display the values I had previously entered (using cfwddx) that were ok...but it WONT show me the variables.msg for those invalid entries (variables.msg is always ) What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is output the relevant error messages in a list when the user is returned to the form and keep previously entered form data. Help! Or is there another more efficient way of achieving this? I've heard of cf_reuseform but know nothing about it. All help greatly appreciated.

Sorry for being such a noob: I'm working on my first application! I hope to become a useful member of the CF community one day. But first you will have to put up with my stupid questions for a while. Stupid question the second: I have a select element in a form. The options are populated from a database. It looks a bit like this: CFQUERY name=get_projects datasource=datasource SELECT projectname FROM projects /CFQUERY ... SELECT name=project CFOUTPUT query=get_projects OPTION#projectname#/OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT It works beautifully so far, giving me a list of all the projects in my database. But I'd like it to default to a certain value from another query. So I added some more code: CFQUERY name=get_details datasource=datasource SELECT projectname FROM projects WHERE ID=[a certain value] /CFQUERY CFOUTPUT query=get_details SELECT name=project value=#projectname# /CFOUTPUT CFOUTPUT query=get_projects OPTION#projectname#/OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT But it just doesn't work: it won't default to the value from the new query.

Re: SOLVED: setting a default value in my SELECT tag
we all cringe at our first app(s) .. or atleast I hope WE do : ) glad to help and good luck! - Original Message - From: Chris Kavanagh To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: SOLVED: setting a default value in my SELECT tag Dear Ewok, Thank you, you're a genius.I was just fumbling around the edges of that solution, but my way involved all kinds of CFSETs and stuff: using the scope is much more elegant. My first app is working quite nicely but I bet the code is flabby.I will probably look back on it and cringe one day. Thanks again. CK.

Re: blackstone, what would be sweet
what else would be sweet is auto queryparams ;) oh yeah a select all option on the damn extention manager they also should buy out MM exporter too build that into their products too and.. make a cf_smile tag 4 matt ;) (run in java of course) Ha! ... You scoff, but the onTap framework has auto queryparams... #request.tapi.sql.structToFilters(attributes)# attributes is the default, so it could also be request.tapi.sql.structToFilters() and it uses the old FB trick of copying form and url variables into the attributes scope (actually it's just a local structure, but the syntax is the same) to let you call a base template as a custom tag. This function is then used as the default set of filters for the sql.select() functions (several of them actually) so if you don't specify your own filters, it automatically filters on any variables passed in the form and url scope. Any filters without matching columns in the table are ignored. It's real handy for creating sortable list pages. Saves a lot of time that I would otherwise be manually copying lists of column names into the where clause of my queries. I'll see what I can do about the cf_smile tag. :P s. isaac dealey954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Lightweight CMS
All, I'm trying to help out a family member who is not at all Web savvy. They need to put together a Web site and I don't mind helping them set it up (I'm even donating the server space... aren't I nice?), but I don't want to deal with the many minor updates they're almost certainly going to be doing. Can anyone suggest an easy to use, free, Access-compatible CMS of some sort? Thanks! Jake [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
