Re: jar launcher crashes randomly
xmlol It really depends on the trajectory you are planning and the type of condiment in the jar. Here in Australia we use Vegemite jars, although the Nutella jar is also popular. The majority of jar launcher crashes occur when the release mechanism is triggered but the jar is too firmly (or not firmly enough) attached to the device. The key is to make sure the lid is tight, and the bottom of the jar is wiped clean of all and any stickiness. A loose lid can lead to instability as the jar approaches escape velocity, causing havoc with the jar launcher's jar release mechanism. Sticky jar bottoms cause a similar problem. Having the correct density of condiment (eg Vegemite or Nutella) also play a major part in successful launches, where as the jams (jelly) and other toppings tend to be either too light or too dense, causing misfires and consequent launcher crashes. A secondary problem occurs when the jar launcher trajectory is too ambitious: any launch really needs to be between 27.5 and 67.5 degrees to the horizon, or the force vectors at the moment of release tend to reach a level of dissonanace that leads to a dirty jar release and subsequent launcher crash. Make sure you have the jar launcher tripod firmly locked into position on a firm, stable surface; have a fresh jar of suitably dense condiment, with the lid screwed on firmly and bottom surface wiped perfectly clean; remember to keep the trajectory angle reasonable and you should be fine. Good luck! /xmlol - Original Message - From: stylo stylo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 5:14 PM Subject: jar launcher crashes randomly No one has ever heard of this? ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: best way to invoke a cfc
Hey Dave,
Just a quick note to clarify... the end result of any call to a CFC is an
instance of an object.
Whether you're using cfinvoke, cfobject, or createObject(), you're still
creating an instance of an object that can be used to store data and execute
methods.
The difference is how that object works. Some objects are stateless (i.e.
they don't store data and they generally have a minimal lifespan), and
others are stateful (i.e. they do store data and they're the kind of object
you'd keep in the application or session scope). If you have something like
math.cfc, and it has a method called addition(), it might work like this:
cfset num1 = 10
cfset num2 = 11
cfinvoke component=math method=addition number1=#num1#
number2=#num2 returnvariable=added /
Internally, addition has this to say:
cffunction name=addition
cfargument name=number1 type=numeric /
cfargument name=number2 type=numeric /
cfreturn arguments.number1+arguments.number2 /
/cffunction
That's a method where CFMX would create the object, do the calculation,
return the data, and then destroy the object... but internally CFMX still
has an instance of math.cfc.
That process is less efficient under load because of the need to read the
file and operate on it before executing the method in question, so often we
put instances of things in the application scope and session scope... but,
functionally, it's still doing the same thing. Even if it's in the
application scope on a shared server, unless there's confidential data (bad,
bad idea) or a danger that just reading the info might cause, it's not a bad
thing really.
The CFINVOKE tag above is functionally exactly the same as this:
cfset added=createObject{component,math).addition(num1,num2)
For any practical purpose, that is identical to cfinvoke (except it's
shorter hehe). Because the variable named added ends up containing
whatever addition() returns, it's a numeric value. You don't end up with a
live instance of an object unless your cfreturn / returns an object...
like this:
cfreturn this /
or
cfreturn createObject(component,someOtherObject).init(num1,num2)
You just need to be careful what you expose by caching... and do everything
you can to get a dedicated server. ;)
Laterz,
J

Subject: RE: best way to invoke a cfc
On a shared server, it's important to ensure that a unique name is used.
If you have a mapping or a custom tag path, putting a unique directory
name in the calling path and then using the dotted notation (e.g.
myuniquename.somecfc) helps. If not, you have to rely on the default
searching mechanism and hope it gets the right one, so prefacing the CFC
filename with your account name may help (e.g.
myaccountname_somecfc.cfc).
As for DreamWeaver, you could cache the cfc in the application scope, if
that's appropriate, so that it is only instantiated once when you change
it (but then when you do change it you have to manually delete it from
the application scope again). Of course this has implications on a
shared server when the code goes live, in that anyone on that server has
access to your application scope if they want it.

is see a lot of ppl on here using different ways to invoke a cfc, any
best practices? (on a shared server)
the one thing i am really tired of is having the files on a local dev
puter and having the cfc's to be called with the live settings and dw
choking for a few minutes while it looks for component (while in code
view), anyway around that that's practical?

RE: CF on shared hosting
If no-one comes up with any existing resources I'd be happy to collect the info and blog it. I've been going on about shared host security for a while and many of the people on this list have had various experiences with shared hosting. Some basic ideas that come to mind as being worth discussion (i.e. I'm not claiming they are cast in stone as best practices but they make sense to me) are: - Shared CF should be done on CF Enterprise; security is near impossible on shared CF standard - All accounts need to be sandboxed for file access - For security, sandboxing should disable CFOBJECT/Createobject() (to prevent Java objects being instantiated) - JSP should not be allowed to run on the CF server (for security reasons) - Server accounts (FTP, SSH) need to be set up such that people can't read others' files via directory browsing - Either datasource usernames and passwords should be in the code and not saved in the CF Admin or all datasources should be sandboxed - Application scope data should contain no vital info as everyone one the sever has access to your application scope if they can determine the application name (which should be hard to predict and unique server-wide) - Tags and CFCs in custom tag paths and mappings should have a server-wide unique name and should have a unique directory name in the calling path in the case of CFCs I demonstrated the results possible when some of the above are missing here: http://www.robrohan.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=EDCB81D8-C8F0-B5 37-1824A53C962059D3 -Original Message- From: Anthony Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 12 June 2005 10:39 To: CF-Talk Subject: CF on shared hosting Hi I am wondering if there are any resources on the net that describe best practices or FAQ's wrt building apps that are hosted on shared accounts. thanks ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:209251 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: CFC's and limiting DB queries
I asked the question so here it is http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/messages.cfm/forumid:4/threadid:40469 My concern is that sometimes we get too much or too little information from the database and end up making too many trips to the database. OR We end up writing too many queries to get the right amount of information we need. Sometimes I find myself writing too many similar queries or even the exact same one without knowing it. Since the database processes faster than Coldfusion, we would want the database to do most of the processing. So we end up with hundreds of queries for every condition we need - bad. It doesn't seem to have an easy answer. So we have to find the balance when to do what and it is not easy to find that balance either. OO is great for processing one record. It makes update so easy. But when multiple records involve, it is such a headache. Johnny Does someone have the link to the previous thread where Sean explained this?

RE: input type=image doesn't work in IE?
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but when you use an image submit in IE (not sure about firefox) you actually get two variables returned: buttonname.x and buttonname.y - representing the x/y coordinates of the actual click. It's not often useful (but sometimes VERY useful) but is something you have to code for. Also you might not want to use the name submit as the name of the element since this a reserved word. It'll probably work, but it's generally considered good practice (in other words I doubt it has anything to do with your problems).

If I try uploading the image I've downloaded earlier from the c:\cfusionmx7\charting\cache folder, then I get the following in the log file: 2005-06-13 00:21:52 W3SVC1171077089 CCM 203.167.250.62 GET /15.jpg - 80 - 202.0.37.177 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) - 200 0 0 1 1147 Which has what I'd think is an appropriate number for sc-bytes (i.e. slightly bigger than the file size rather than slightly smaller). That's about all I can figure out though. -Original Message- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 11 June 2005 3:38 p.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfchart not working on new server Matthew, you said these image files were being created correctly, right? Do they look like they should even if they're not being sent back to the browser? Have you checked (or had the host check) windows and CF error logs? There should be something. If the issue was the result of a headless Win install, chances are that the graphing subsystem would fail during CFMX bootstrap... that's how it works on Linux, and also the primary cause of CFCHART issues on linux. People fail to understand that CFMX needs the basic X libraries to get cfchart to work. If you do a view source after hitting a page that's got a CFChart in it, you should see some URL information that's used to transfer the images/movies from the Chart servlet to the browser... trying hitting that URL alone and seeing what error message you get.

RE: Source control PLUS Deployment control...
Hi Russ, Does Homesite+/CFStudio have any CVS support (especially for subversion?). We're planning to move to SVN from developing from ftp, but wondering how to set the whole thing up. Bunch of ways to do this with Homesite. The easiest I know of is to use TortoiseSVN. From Homesite, all of the Tortoise right-click menus will be available in the directory browsing pane (but NOT in the file browser below it). When you change a file and want to update your server version, right click its parent directory and COMMIT. Simple. If you want to use Homesite's Project-thingy with its source control integration, you will have to install something like Jalinidi Igloo which emulates SourceSafe's API (called SCC). Hasn't been worth it for me. SO, that's the client side We have a development server, where all the changes are made and tested by editing the files directly through ftp and testing them through the web browser. When they're ready, we ftp them over to the production server and use Araxis Merge to compare the changes with the old files and merge them (just for safety, and also certain files only get parts of them deployed, such as the cfc files which contain all the DAO logic). How can we make this type of set up work with SVN? I mean if we retrieve a file from CVS through Homesite+ or CFEClipse, how do we save the file to the dev server so that we can test it, and then when we're done, how do we deploy the changes to production? Is this even possible? Russ The environment Here's the thing: you need to think about source control a bit differently than you thought about the FTP method you setup. Ideally, you would have a souce control server, a staging server (you call that dev server above), a production server and your local development machine. Developing You develop on a local standalone CF server- you should be able to test anything here (except load) that you can test on your staging server. When you are happy with a certain file (or directory), you commit it to your SVN repository. On the SVN machine there is no web server, cf server, whatever- it is just a place to keep track of your changes and make sure that if everything else blows up you keep your job. Deploying to staging When you want to deploy the code to staging (to demo for a client, beta test, whatever) you go to the staging box and use tortoise (or a shell script call to cvsnt) to UPDATE (or if this is the first deployment CHECKOUT) the code from the SVN box. If you are strict, you will include in your staging deployment process a step to encrypt your CF code. This keeps you honest and doesn't allow you to make code changes on staging (from where you would likely forget to commit them). In fact, you should really do a CHECKOUT RELEASE (this is TortoiseCVS terminology- may be different on SVN) which ensures that your fresh files are not COMMITable from their new home. Deploying to production Same as deploying to staging. You don't move a thing from staging. You don't have to. All of your changes are in SVN right? If your deployment to staging worked and all other environment variables are the same, your deployment to production will be as simple as pie. Using CF Enterprise to help You could alternately create a CAR on Staging when you are ready to deploy and push that to Production. This is an additional insurance that the deployment is a success as the CAR wraps up all the CF server settings nicely for you: when you restore the CAR on the target, CF is setup exactly as it was on the source server. Saving money If you don't have an extra server for the source control, no prob. Use your staging box- but do NOT put your SVN repository in the webroot. The key is to keep source control separate from the normal running location of your apps. Scripting it all You could setup all of this to run as batch files in windows or linux. The staging process could be scheduled. You could trigger the running of the staging deployment by calling a CF page with a CFExecute that runs the batch file. If you are extra crafty you might use a nifty new CF Gateway to watch for some file system chage or listen for a ping from somewhere to tell it to run and get the latest release You're on the right path- it is less complicated than it sounds!

RE: best way to invoke a cfc
If the host does disable cfobject, you can get the same effect by using cfinvoke on a special method in the CFC that returns THIS. That way you get the instantiated component once, rather than having one instantiation for every cfinvoke call. -Original Message- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 13 June 2005 5:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: best way to invoke a cfc Thanks Jared, the reason I asked is I am back to working on a friends site that I haven't messed with for awhile and I was creating the cfc objects in the Application.cfm with cfobject name=getNewestListings component=cfc.newListings. and I was thinking that if at some point the host disables cfobject then I would be f*cked, it works well but maybe I should be changing this one now. ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:209262 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: Source control PLUS Deployment control...
I'm jumping into this SCC/deployment discussion pretty late, but wanted to echo the votes for Subversion for source control. On the client side, TortoiseSVN on the Windows client side is excellent and Subclipse is there for Eclipse users. (I haven't seen any Mac users chime in about how it works for them on Dreamweaver, but my Mac friends tell me Subversion repositories can be mounted pretty easily on OS X since it's all Web_DAV under the hood -- that's probably even easier than dealing with Tortoise for simple tasks) And the latest Subversion (1.2) added reserved checkout functionality, which is the model Visual SourceSafe (among others) uses -- files are locked until the user checks them back in. This is in addition to the base functionality of Subversion, which follows the model used by CVS and other SCC that allows anyone to check out any files and focuses on merging to resolve changes. Scripting it all You could setup all of this to run as batch files in windows or linux. The staging process could be scheduled. You could trigger the running of the staging deployment by calling a CF page with a CFExecute that runs the batch file. If you are extra crafty you might use a nifty new CF Gateway to watch for some file system chage or listen for a ping from somewhere to tell it to run and get the latest release I'm pretty suprised no one's mentioned Ant and the many, many tools around it for the deployment side of things. Regardless of the SCC system, Ant is a nobrainer for automating deployment, especially if you need to do things like reset databases, run test or acceptance suites, or any other of the additional quality control steps as part of an automated deployment process. Plug in CruiseControl and you've got a pretty robust system for deploying for test, stage, and production/delivery. As an aside, I'll be talking about these tools at CF-United in the Open Source Java Tools session and they are certainly topics that can come up at the BOF. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
