RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
Personally, the advantages of cfmodule outweigh those of cfinclude. The performance hit of cfmodule is really low, and cfmodule provides you with encapsulation. Variables defined within a template called by cfmodule have no effect on the executed code outside that template (unless you are using variables in request, session, application, client, server, or use the caller). What you need to keep in mind, when you call a cfmodule template within a CFC, and use caller in that template, the variable is returned to the CFC. So if you want to use returned data from the template, you need to put business logic in your CFC which handles that.

RE: unix user cfexecute

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
I've was thinking about this post last night - don't ask. To give you a little background im mainly a solid Fuseboxer so issues of layout have always been in the back of my head as it is something FB accomodates for. But the one thing i love about the move from FB2 to FB3 was having the layout file in one file. Well after reading this post it got me thinking about the Layout process again (mainly because i am also looking at doing a small app without FB for a change). And i was wondering why the cfsavecontent tag isn't used here? Basically your page would be: cfsavecontent variable=content Content Goes Here /cfsavecontent This would allow several options at the bottom of the page 1) cfinclude template=layout.cfm This would take the variable content and display its contents 2) cfmodule template=layout.cfm body=#content# 3) cf_foo#content#/cf_foo 4) Plus you could even put the layout template reference in the onRequestEnd.cfm and put some logic for each page?

To give you some background I don't have any control over the SP. I'm using the user credentials that gives them access to another application as a form front-end to access some dynamic reports. I've had a look at the SP and with my limited knowledge of Oracle SP's it looks as though the column id's are created based on what the user's enter. column :B1 is created if the user's login details are ok. Y is then dumped into the column. column 'N'(single quotes)is created if the user enters an incorrect password. This produces an N. column 'A' is created if the user exceeds three attempts to login. This produces an A. column 'W' is created if the passworrd is due to expire soon. This produces a W. column P_KEY remains the same.

cfx_google on cf5 and linux
I'm trying to get cfx_google up and running on CF5 on Linux. I've got the default cf5 jvm registered. I've got the full path to the googleapi.jar in the class path field (its the only one there) I've been lazy and put the jar in to the default /opt/coldfusion/Java/classes directory, so CFX Jar Path is just that and so is the Dynamic Class Load Path. In the CFX Tags I've created a java cfx tag entry with CFX_GOOGLE for the tag name and CFX_Google for the Class Name. The jar has the same ownership and rights as the other jar files in the Java/classes folder and I've checked that I've got the right case for the class name in the jar. I've restarted CF a number of times and rebooted the whole server once. Despite all this I'm still getting : The JVM library could not be found. Please check if the file specified in the ColdFusion Administrator actually exists. I'm kinda rusty on java cfx's, but I think I've covered all the bases, so not sure why this is failing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Clickthroughs updated also through this maintenance thread The goals for me: 1) No ad-related DB access is in the CF response threads 2) Ad contribution to response time is minimal because always reading from memory 3) DB use is better optimized for a site with alot of hits (since the existing fuseads inserts a row in an impression table every time a banner is displayed, and aggregates it nightly.

SOT: Garbage Data Detection/Prevention
Hi All, I've got a CF/SQL Server 2k application that serves several hundred users and is designed to store large amounts of data. I have built in many checks and restrictions into the application to prevent incorrect data being inserted. But there is a proportion of users who are circumventing these restrictions by entering garbage data. For instance, where a name is required, they would enter jdsl. There is only so far I can go to do checks as data is input, so I need to concentrate on user education by finding the culprits. There is full auditing of the data and to this end, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on ways to find garbage data, or other steps I could take to prevent it. Most of the data in the system is fine, so I was thinking maybe somehow comparing data with other examples of correct info to root out the garbage. I'm just not sure how!

Re: SOT: Garbage Data Detection/Prevention
The only thing i would suggest is that you don't alienate your users by implmenting some flawed garbage detection scheme. There will be some users whose name really is Sadf Dsij (even if it's not an international site). If you do anything, i would run your algorithm in the background and simply flag the accounts for human review if they seem off. One method would be to run a spelling-type check and based on the number of possible errors, you can flag the entry. The last thing you want to do is piss of your users so that you have less work to do :) -R On Wed, 1 Dec 2004 13:39:24 -, Gavin Brook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've got a CF/SQL Server 2k application that serves several hundred users and is designed to store large amounts of data.

Web services, complex compound objects and axis
I see that CF uses Apache Axis 1.1 for web services.

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
If I remember correctly, doesn't cfmodule create a whole new memory block for every call, where as the cfinclude will only use the existing memory space and be part of the normal page cache? Yes. In fact, that's at least part of the point. cfmodule -- and custom tags in general -- provide encapsulation. I would only use cfinclude only if you really want the included tag to be able to step all over your variables and vise-versa. Even if this isn't true for CFMX any more, personally, I'd probably lean towards the cfinclude method, because a) thats what I'm used to, b) I find it visually easier to read My preference is to use custom tags. I keep all the tags having to do with the look and feel of a site in a directory called /tagLibs/layout. I then use the cfimport tag to import them with the prefix layout. It ends up looking something like this: layout:page htmlTitle=MySite.com - Home Page pageTitle=Welcome layout:navigation section=Home /layout:navigation /layout:page Personally, I find that much easier to read. More importantly (almost as important as encapsulation), it also affords me the ability to pass in parameters via the tag attributes. The tags have corresponding cfparam tags which check to ensure that parameters have been passed and supply defaults if necessary. c) I feel like can tinker with the header and footer dynamically with a cfinclude than a cfmodule. I assume by using the phrase I feel like you mean that there isn't a practical difference? I would agree that the use of includes establishes less of a contract between the caller and the tag/template. However, I think that's a very bad thing. You, on the other hand, seem to prefer a less formal interface between your cfm templates. andd) Easier to get to the header and footers if I need to change them or simply replace them. I'm not sure I understand this. Why would you have to put your cfm template anywhere different if you're using the cfmodule tag as opposed to cfinclude? As far as I know, the path attribute of both tags obey all the same rules. cfimport, on the other hand, does not accept dynamic values in the taglib attribute. As I said, I store all my tags in directories beneath a /tagLibs/ directory and import them as necessary. However, you could put your files all in the root directory of your site and use the cfmodule tag or even the cf_tagName sytax. What goes on inside the the cfmodule? Is the header and footer actually inside the cfmodule template or does it include the header and footer templates? If it includes them, then it'd be a bit of a pointless call to the cfmodule, if its in the cfmodule template, then refer to my point (d) above. ;) You're ignoring several key points, all mentioned above. In brief, though, tags afford you 1) a degree of encapsulation; 2) specify parameters in a more formal way; 3) the ability to enforce whether or not the end tag has been specified (thisTag.hasEndTag); and 4) the ability to control the naming of your tags (cfimport prefix attribute) and, by extension, their color coding and such in your editor of choice.

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
Ben, Imagine this situation. You have a CMS, and it has a shared directory with templates for all customers. Each customer has also its own directory with templates. These template function as overriding templates instead of those shared templates (see them as virtual and those of the customer as sealed), and such the taglib attribute needs to be set dynamically depending on the overriding situation.

Re: jsessionid cookies
Thank you so much for the helpful answer (finally!). If it is JRUN that is setting the jsessionid (regardless of whether you have told CF to store session variables in the j2ee object) then what explains why there is no jsessionid coming from the hosted site - does this suggest they are not running CFMX on top of JRUN? Also, any idea why there the jsessionid cookie is set and then immediately reset when I first access the dev site that is running on top of JRUN? From what you say, that cannot be anything I am doing since it is done by the j2ee software. CFMX doesn't set the jsessionid cookie itself, it's set by the J2EE application server. Setting CMFX to use J2EE session management means CFMX session variables are stored in the J2EE HTTP session object (and can thus be accessed through Java calls). Setting CFMX for J2EE session management on a shared host would require some coordination, but seems feasible. best, Chris Norloff http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18232.htm ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185804 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

They only take a few minutes to go in and would be quicker if I disabled the indexes, just never gone back to that project to change things since everyone is plenty happy with it. For some reason I think CFExecute is disabled on the servers here though so it may not be an option for me on this new project. -- Aaron Rouse http://www.happyhacker.com/ On Wed, 1 Dec 2004 10:06:41 -0600, Greg Morphis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use sqlldr from a cfexecute call in CF.

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
Our framework here uses the custom tag approach, not to imply it is the best way to go, just what has been in use here for years. So a typical page could be something like: cf_headertag title=Blah check=Yes userlevel=GenUp cf_tableheader title=Something trtdBlah/td/tr cf_tablefooter cf_button label=Back;Menu cf_footer links=Yes Now each tag may call other tags, for instance the header one calls a tag that checks to see if logged in, checks to see if you have a user level that is at the level attribute or above and so on. Just glancing at one simple page, looks like 18 total CFM files are called for this page to be displayed, that includes the Application.cfm and OnRequestEnd.cfm files. This same framework uses cfmodule a lot for the database table management section. It essentially is setup so you make one file per table that you need to manage and that file is a huge switch/case and other pages that build your output via cfmodule calls to the switch/case. That section allows for updating/inserting/deleting/viewing/exporting data into whatever database table. I'd almost hate to know how resource wasteful all this comes out to be, but does make it easy for the non-CF people to whip out some applications which is why it is still in use to this day. -- Aaron Rouse http://www.happyhacker.com/ ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185813 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
Ben Rogers wrote: If I remember correctly, doesn't cfmodule create a whole new memory block for every call, where as the cfinclude will only use the existing memory space and be part of the normal page cache? Yes. In fact, that's at least part of the point. cfmodule -- and custom tags in general -- provide encapsulation. I would only use cfinclude only if you really want the included tag to be able to step all over your variables and vise-versa. You are quite correct. However, using cfmodule and custom tags is potentially is server killer because it is EVERY call to the cfmodule/tag and not just the first call that grabs additional memory. So for every page call for every site visitor more memory is allocated for each cfmodule. Showing my age a bit now.. cfmodule and cf in general used to have a few problems with letting go of and reusing of allocated memory, so I've become acustom to using cfincludes rather than cfmodule, because of low resources in the memory department years back and a need to make stable applications that didn't require me to restart the server every couple of hours. (A slight exageration, but that did used to happen with one of the sites I built back in 1997. It used to get extremely high peeks of traffic at certain times of the day and it used to take the server down by taking all the available memory. We eventually worked out what the problem was, reworked a load of stuff in the site and then site was rock solid - so solid that our poor old 128kb line used to get topped out) With regards step all over your variables. Never had a problem. All it takes is a little care, attention to detail and meaningful variable names. Even if this isn't true for CFMX any more, personally, I'd probably lean towards the cfinclude method, because a) thats what I'm used to, b) I find it visually easier to read My preference is to use custom tags. I keep all the tags having to do with the look and feel of a site in a directory called /tagLibs/layout. I then use the cfimport tag to import them with the prefix layout. It ends up looking something like this: What's CFIMPORT? ~joke~ Most of my clients are still on CF5 (don't fix what aint broke). Personally, I find that much easier to read. More importantly (almost as important as encapsulation), it also affords me the ability to pass in parameters via the tag attributes. The tags have corresponding cfparam tags which check to ensure that parameters have been passed and supply defaults if necessary. Personal feelings. Don't rag on mine just because I don't agree with you. c) I feel like can tinker with the header and footer dynamically with a cfinclude than a cfmodule. I assume by using the phrase I feel like you mean that there isn't a practical difference? I would agree that the use of includes establishes less of a contract between the caller and the tag/template. However, I think that's a very bad thing. You, on the other hand, seem to prefer a less formal interface between your cfm templates. In a sense yes that is correct. By tinker dynamically I mean I can replace the headers much more easily dynamically with cfinclude than I can with cfmodule. I can have a directory full of different headers for different occasions (images of Wurzel Gummage come to mind). I can easily switch between headers by changing a single variable. Using a CFMODULE, I have to pass some information into the tag that tells the logic in the tag which bit of html to use. That html is either hard coded into the module (yak!) or you cfinclude it (pointless call to cfmodule). andd) Easier to get to the header and footers if I need to change them or simply replace them. I'm not sure I understand this. Why would you have to put your cfm template anywhere different if you're using the cfmodule tag as opposed to cfinclude? As far as I know, the path attribute of both tags obey all the same rules. So you've never had a client ask you to re-skin a site? Here's a new design now go implement it. I'm not talking about simple CSS changes here. We're talking structural changes. If you have display code embedded inside logic, which happens the second you use a cfmodule or a call to custom tag, you would have to fiddle on changing the HTML buried in the logic or take the html out of the logic and replace it with the new html. Both of these methods are prone to simple time consuming mistakes - one slip and away goes a bit of logic you didn't want to remove. Seperate your html into individual files that can be included, set up a few standard variables for things like page titles etc and you can hand it off to a designer and let them get on with it with no fear that they are going to break anything more disasterous than the page title. What goes on inside the the cfmodule? Is the header and footer actually inside the cfmodule template or does it include

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
I can imagine such a situation. In fact, I wrote an e-commerce app that functions somewhat similarly. However, I still maintain that the inability to specify a dynamic taglib path at runtime does not preclude the use of the cfimport tag in all ASP apps. As a side note, the aforementioned e-commerce app does, in fact use the cfimport tag. Each system provided tag is responsible for checking to see if there is a customer supplied template and including it if so. This allowed the system app to put certain restrictions on what templates could be called and providing certain environment variables. Obviously, the customers can not define new tags. Well, they can, but they have to use the cfmodule tag to use them, thus skirting the framework. But that's an option they have. Anyway, the point is that each application has different requirements, regardless of whether or not it will be hosted in an ASP environment.

CFSCHEDULE and https..PLEASE HELP URGENT
Help needed! We are trying to run a Scheduled task in CFMX 6.1 using CFScheduler. The site is SSL protected and we are using Basic Authentication to authorize the users. When we try to give the URL parameter as http://localhost:443/page.cfm the scheduler never completes the task. Meaning it does not display any error or success message. We tried the following URLs also https://localhost/page.cfm https://localhost:443/page.cfm In the above cases we get an error stating the URL is a redirection URL... URL is invalid.. Site is an SSL site and the portnumber is not specified .. .. We also tried replacing the localhost with IP address of the server. But it never worked. We provided the NT username and password in the Username and password fields. Should We give any other parameters or change any other setting in the CFServer or in IIS (The Web server used).

Re: CFC required arguments
I usually want to know if the argument was passed, not if the argument is the default value. With a default value, that value necessarily has to be a legal value for the argument. Therefore there's no way to tell if it was omitted or if the default value was explicitly passed. Take this function for example: cffunction name=test cfargument name=myArg type=string required=false default= / cfif myArg EQ ... /cfif /cffunction The conditional will execute for both of these invocations: test(); test(); However, if I use this function: cffunction name=test cfargument name=myArg type=string required=false / cfif NOT structKeyExists(arguments, myArg) ... /cfif /cffunction The conditional will only execute for the former (where the argument wasn't passed), and it'll treat just like it would treat any other passed value. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 1 Dec 2004 10:27:54 -0500, Sparrow-Hood, Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Barney, I'm curious - why do you prefer structKeyExists() vs. setting default values?

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
You are quite correct. However, using cfmodule and custom tags is potentially is server killer because it is EVERY call to the cfmodule/tag and not just the first call that grabs additional memory. So for every page call for every site visitor more memory is allocated for each cfmodule. You'd have to use a hell of a lot custom tags for this to ever become an issue. As noted in previous messages, I make extensive use of custom tags and have yet to run into a performance problem caused by the use of custom tags in the manners described. I think this type of thinking goes back to a period of ColdFusion development where custom tags were over used to compensate for the lack of user-defined functions. This lead to writing recursive custom tags that performed relatively simple mathematical operations. The overhead of the tag invocation was incommensurate with the work being performed. Showing my age a bit now.. cfmodule and cf in general used to have a few problems with letting go of and reusing of allocated memory, so I've become acustom to using cfincludes rather than cfmodule, because of low resources in the memory department years back and a need to make stable applications that didn't require me to restart the server every couple of hours. (A slight exageration, but that did used to happen with one of the sites I built back in 1997. It used to get extremely high peeks of traffic at certain times of the day and it used to take the server down by taking all the available memory. We eventually worked out what the problem was, reworked a load of stuff in the site and then site was rock solid - so solid that our poor old 128kb line used to get topped out) I'm aware of other similar workarounds. Some developers would put all data in a structure, copy that structure to another structure before calling cfinclude, and then copying it back after the call. This turned out to be faster/require less memory than using cfmodule. That said, I have yet to see a situation since ColdFusion 5 (which introduced UDFs) which necessitates such drastic measures. With regards step all over your variables. Never had a problem. All it takes is a little care, attention to detail and meaningful variable names. What size projects do you tend to work on? I myself do not work on large projects. Most of the apps I've written fall in the 10,000 to 50,000 lines of code range and have anywhere from 1 to 5 developers working on them. I just finished a project which I spent 20 months on (35,000 lines of code). I find that even under these relatively modest circumstances, it's difficult to prevent stepping on data that doesn't belong to you unless you make good use of the encapsulation features inherent in the language. And, frankly, I find if very difficult to believe that you've never had a problem. I can see where the use of naming conventions and such would help prevent such problems. But to say you've never had a problem -- well, I assume you're making use of hyperbole. What's CFIMPORT? ~joke~ Most of my clients are still on CF5 About half our sites are on ColdFusion MX. I'm porting one of the larger ones right now, actually. It was written for ColdFusion 4. Consequently, even though it is currently running on ColdFusion 5, it doesn't even make extensive use of UDFs. I say this because I'm very cognizant of how far ColdFusion has come in the last 2 major versions -- first with UDFs, then with components. To this extent, I thought the point of the thread was to discuss the best practice now and how they may have changed from previous versions of ColdFusion. (don't fix what aint broke). Unfortunately, the don't fix what ain't broke mantra (a favorite or mine) doesn't work so well with publicly facing Web sites. The Web sites we design are more of a process, constantly revised and evolving. We have to support newer browsers, upgrade server software for better security, handle ever increasing loads, etc. Personal feelings. Don't rag on mine just because I don't agree with you. No, this discussion is not just about personal feelings. Legibility may be largely personal preference. However, color coding (and even tag insight) provides very tangible benefits. And there's no way you can call encapsulation and parameter passing via attributes personal feelings. In a sense yes that is correct. By tinker dynamically I mean I can replace the headers much more easily dynamically with cfinclude than I can with cfmodule. I can have a directory full of different headers for different occasions (images of Wurzel Gummage come to mind). I can easily switch between headers by changing a single variable. Using a CFMODULE, I have to pass some information into the tag that tells the logic in the tag which bit of html to use. That html is either hard coded into the module (yak!) or you cfinclude it (pointless call to cfmodule). There are many other ways to accomplish what you've described, but I
RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
We use this style too (for skinning) and the only difficulty we run into is the constraint that the opening and closing tags have to remain in the same logical scope on the page, so you can't conditionally open the tag at the top of the page and then conditionally close it at the bottom. This doesn't really turn out to be a problem but occasionally it requires some awkward maneuvering.

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
And, frankly, I find if very difficult to believe that you've never had a problem. I can see where the use of naming conventions and such would help prevent such problems. But to say you've never had a problem -- well, I assume you're making use of hyperbole. Wow, we're in the midst of another list jihad and its not about FuseBox. Go figure. Anyway, he's probably using includes that don't contain a significant degree of CF logic, which is arguably exactly what a simple display header/footer is, or should be. Includes are not brain surgery, and perhaps thats the point. Use them for simpler, quickee, in-and-out needs. Don't build a 5000-line include loaded with complex logic, fresh variable assignments and 500 output values. By all means feel free to build one of any size that *reads* values (from whatever source) and decides what to do based on the reads. And of course you can blur the lines as you see fit in between since you are an intelligent developer who knows how to pick the right tool for the job. -- --Matt Robertson-- President, Janitor MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185850 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
I had some problems in ColdFusion 4.0, though I think (besides not giving up memory) most were squared away by 4.1. I don't think I deployed anything to (nor load tested on) 4.5. ColdFusion 5 seemed to be better about giving up resources that weren't in use. CF 5 did release memory, while CF 4.0.1 didn't. I don't remember whether CF 4.5.1 did or not. If remember correctly 4.5.1/2 were better, but still not the best.

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
CF 5 did release memory, while CF 4.0.1 didn't. I don't remember whether CF 4.5.1 did or not. Thanks for the correction. I meant 4.0.1. We developed for and hosted on ColdFusion 4.0.1 until some time after 5 was released. Then we moved most of our stuff to 5. We are now migrating most of our stuff to ColdFusion MX 6.1, which seems to perform much better and seems to be much more stable than ColdFusion MX itself (I guess the version number was 6.0?). We have had clients with CF 4 and CF 5 who had poor response times when they heavily used custom tags, even for relatively simple tasks. After restructuring their application to use fewer custom tags where possible, they saw significantly improved response times with load testing and on their live site. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be nearly as serious an issue with CFMX. That's good to know. We were load testing to ensure sites could handle a certain load (preventative). We do not get much in the way of customers looking for us to host applications that we did not write, much less performance tuning such sites. As noted in a previous message in this thread, we're not building large scale sites. Our sites tend to host under 1 million user sessions a month. Most of our sites see much less than this. No single site requires more than one Web server. When we load test, we're looking for bottlenecks, stability, and performance under a moderate load. Thanks for the clarification.

Understood. It's a common practice. I've done it -- recently. Most people have done it. Before custom tags, it was the only method of code reuse in ColdFusion. It's easy. It provides the most rudimentary form of code reuse. In fact, I usually use cfincludes in my custom tags to shorten them up if they are over 50 lines. However, I try not to use cfinclude for the purpose of code reuse these days. It's not a particularly safe practice. Recent versions of ColdFusion provide much more appropriate methods for code reuse. There are other benefits to using custom tags, many of which I've noted. I started out trying to convey that. :) Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185863 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: jsessionid cookies
If it's CFMX for J2EE, it could be running on any one of several different J2EE app servers (JRun, WebSphere, WebLogic, SunONE, etc.). The only reason a J2EE app server would set the jsessionid cookie again is if it didn't see the first cookie. Check your http headers and see if you can see what's happening. We had a case of running a CFMX app on WebSphere and a Java app on Oracle's 9iAS app server - each app server wanted to set its own jsessionid cookie, so the browser ended up losing the session everytime it went from one to the other. We ended up setting a flag in the database to tell if there was an active session for that user, so he could go to the one app on WebSphere or the other app on Oracle. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Nick Cabell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 10:45:22 -0400 Thank you so much for the helpful answer (finally!). If it is JRUN that is setting the jsessionid (regardless of whether you have told CF to store session variables in the j2ee object) then what explains why there is no jsessionid coming from the hosted site - does this suggest they are not running CFMX on top of JRUN? Also, any idea why there the jsessionid cookie is set and then immediately reset when I first access the dev site that is running on top of JRUN? From what you say, that cannot be anything I am doing since it is done by the j2ee software. CFMX doesn't set the jsessionid cookie itself, it's set by the J2EE application server. Setting CMFX to use J2EE session management means CFMX session variables are stored in the J2EE HTTP session object (and can thus be accessed through Java calls). Setting CFMX for J2EE session management on a shared host would require some coordination, but seems feasible. best, Chris Norloff http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18232.htm ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185865 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: cfcatch scope just says [unknown type]
OK thanks. I just checked and my live server does indeed have the cfdump fix on it, which isn't working here. Its Martin Parry's BeetrootStreet.com cfdump update. Maybe its not a fix for the same thing. At least I can loop over the scope, though. One heck of a lot easier to revise my error templates than it is disabling them all.

RE: CF MX developer edition with no network connection.
I run CFMX that way w/o a network connection on my laptop. Not sure that helps, but I wanted to state that it can be done. Perhaps your config has CFMX looking for something on a remote computer? -Original Message- From: Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 1:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF MX developer edition with no network connection.

I'm running it on my laptop, along with blackstone, and both work fine. You're on a PC? Or a Mac? Are you running CF as a service under XP Pro or something? Or do you have it installed under j2ee?

Re: URGENT - My Login works but ONLY on 2nd attempt.
Scott, This is CFMX. If this is the case then do you have another resolution?? Anyone?? Sifu Depends on the version of CF. This was the case with CF5 and earlier, but is no longer an issue with CFMX.
