This packet: prop1 val1prop2val2< /string>1 Through your parser produces two arrays (an outer one with one element and an inner one with the two specified elements). That don't seem right... I'm making the assumption (probably a good one) that the problem is on my end... but I'm stumped as to what it is. Any ideas? What'd I do wrong?

Very Cool - thanks! With some quick passes the serializer seems to work with it. I've just finished the JS deserializer (well - at least the first draft - it's not tested yet). Feel like throwing me some test packets? ;^) It's not fully tested but I've now got a single JavaScript object that will serialize and deserialize from JSON, WDDX, XMLRPC (data only) and my own YODEL format. I'm sure it's buggy as hell... but everything works with simple stuff so far. I'm too beat right now but I'll post it for download tomorrow.

Re: Control USB Camera through COLDFUSION
There are a couple of ways to do this--- many think them oddball, but the do the job. 1) You can run CF on the client desktop (CFEverywhere) where you have complete access to the Client (programs, devices, file system, etc) thru cfexecute. 2) You can run a Dashboard widget on OS X Tiger (programmed in HTML/ Javascript with an interface to the web and to the underlying OS applications, devices file system) In the latter case, there are several widgets (free) that already do this-- all you need do is supply the VideoCam. I just checked and there were 50 webcam widgets at : http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/ Since these are written in JavaScript, the source is available, I am currently watching SoftCam which shows a pic of a New York intersection, updated every 5 sec Dick On Aug 21, 2005, at 9:20 PM, Jim Davis wrote: >> -Original Message- >> From: ekcien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 12:02 AM >> To: CF-Talk >> Subject: Control USB Camera through COLDFUSION >> >> We want to capture a 30 seconds video from a PC client and upload >> the >> video >> file to our database: >> >> Can we control the video/camera port to be able to start capture, end >> capture, save file in COLDFUSION. >> > > You could finagle such a thing on the _server_ (where ColdFusion is > running) > but not on the _client_ - ColdFusion isn't there to do anything! > > To do this on the client you would need some thing "active" and > trusted: a > Signed Java Applet, an ActiveX control or a Flash movie that was given > permission to use the camera (the latter is probably the simplest > option > overall unless you find something off the shelf). > > There are other options... but those three cover the broadest range of > possibility. > > Jim Davis ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

I'm gonna guess you're in the latter group. :D > - Convert a null into an empty value: . > - Convert a null into an empty string: . > - Throw an error. I can't say conclusively, but I would opt for the first or third choice. If you can afford the ambiguity, the first is the best... most implementations (including mine) will interpret an empty as a zero-length string, but at least it leaves open the possibility for other implementations. > Any idea about what's "right"? Technically, XML-RPC dates have no timezone. Apps are expected to set timezones in another method, or within another param in the current method. In practice, my (de)serializer respects the above... but the instant it returns the value to my main code, I promptly assume that it is UTC and go from there. :-) > +) String formatting seems... odd. The spec claims that only ampersands and > less-than signs should be escaped - is this right? Not even greater-than > signs? Nothing for control characters? Basically, it's saying "do what you would normally do to escape any off-limits XML characters". Technically, greater-than signs don't need to be escaped as long as you escape any less-thans, but most of us do it anyway, just to be safe. Probably the easiest thing to do is just wrap strings in , although there may be an oddball deserializer out there that will barf. > If you have some time I'd much appreciate you going over my XMLRPC > implementation to see if it measures up.

You could finagle such a thing on the _server_ (where ColdFusion is running) but not on the _client_ - ColdFusion isn't there to do anything! To do this on the client you would need some thing "active" and trusted: a Signed Java Applet, an ActiveX control or a Flash movie that was given permission to use the camera (the latter is probably the simplest option overall unless you find something off the shelf). There are other options... but those three cover the broadest range of possibility.

It won't impact line numbering if it's implemented the same way as in Dreamweaver and HomeSite which both have a "soft wrap" option. If a wrapped line of code takes up 3 lines for example, only the first "line" shows a line number in either HomeSite or DW. Code collapse also works fine with line wrap on in both HomeSite and in the new DW 8.

Re: CFEclipse 1.2 - How do you wrap text?
This is correct... we discussed the usefulness of the line-wrapping feature and basically it come down that most coders didnt use it (personally I turn it off in most editors) Being a semi-democratic plugin, it isn't a feature that will appear until the great masses tell us otherwise Of course... if someone REALLY wants it they could go and implement an extension or code it and send me the path :) MD On 20 Aug 2005, at 08:29, James Holmes wrote: > When it was discussed on the CFE lists, a number of people protested > against line wrapping (myself included) - hence the low priority. > Spike et-al can correct me if I am wrong... > > ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
