Subject: ANN: Introducing YODEL

YODEL (Yet another Open Data Exchange Language) is an XML dialect designed
to represent structured data.  I've finished (what I consider to be drafts
of) the specification and an initial FAQ and posted them here:

http://www.depressedpress.com/depressedpress/Content/Development/YODEL/Index
..cfm

Before you ask the FAQ has my explanation for why I decided to do this
rather than use on of the other, existing options.  ;^)

Right now there are no posted implementations: I'm nearly completed with the
JavaScript implementation (I've got some more testing, but all of the grunt
work is done) for both serialization and deserialization.  I hope to release
this within the next day or two.

Then this weekend will be the CF version (probably CFMX or higher only...
but I'm not sure).

The reason I post the spec before the implementations are done are first to
get any feedback on the spec before I work on the code.

I'm open to all suggestions and criticism on the subject.

Secondly I want to allow anybody that might be interested in doing an
implementation to begin working.

This would, of course, be VERY welcome.  It's not a hugely difficult task
(the JavaScript version was perhaps six-eight hours of coding an huge amount
of that was figuring out the date and string parsing).

I would truly love to see implementations for all other popular platforms
(Java, .NET, PHP, ActionScript, PERL, etc) as well as alternative (and
perhaps better) CFML and JavaScript versions.

So, if you know another language and want a moderate challenge please
consider it!

I plan to work up a test suite of packets soon to assist with this.  But if
you're interested in doing an implementation please feel free to write me
with any questions you may have.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Session Variables and returning to finish web forms

2005-09-07 Thread Ian Vaughan
Ok I will use a CFLOCK and CFTransaction for the data processing.

At present all the data entered in the form is stored as session
variables, which enables the form to be split up over several screens
which works well.

i.e.
 cfinput name=jobdesc size=50 required=Yes message=Please
provide the job description value=#SESSION.app.jobdesc#


The final option below I am trying to implement into the form and am
just looking for ideas on how this can best be achieved using
Coldfusion.

If the users have logged in as a member, they have the ability to save a
partially completed online application and complete it later (by
clicking the 'Finish Later' button at the bottom of the form)

How would this be best achieved ?

Would you save the form field session variables entered on the form into
a database table with a relationship to the members table ?  

If so when the user returns to the form to complete it what would be the
best way of ensuring that the data returned from the database table to
populate the form fields works in conjunction with the
value=#SESSION.app.jobdesc# that is set on the form fields by default
that enables the form to be split over several screens ?

Thanks

Ian

Subject: Re: Session Variables in CFMX 7

Hi Ian, Here are a few ideas regarding this.
 Best deal with session variables within a CFLOCK statement (see docs
for details of possible race conditions) and therefore a useful way to
go about this is to copy any session structures to the request scope on
each request.
 I have a similar 'wizard' style process and I create a structure
(inside
cflock) session.wizard
 For each wizard step I create session.wizard.stepN (where N is step
number). 
 I then duplicate this structure to the request scope so that I can
forget about locking from now on.
 In each form page I CFPARAM request.wizard.stepN.formfieldN for all my
form fields for this step with any default values.
 When the form is submitted I cfloop thru the form structure and copy
the form values to the request.wizard.stepN.formfieldN values. Finally I
duplicate the request scope to the session scope inside a CFLOCK so the
values are remembered to the next request.
 In terms of keeping this data in some way, you might consider using
CFWDDX which can convert complex CFML variables (like your wizard
structure) and convert them to a XML string. You could then write this
string to a file or database. CFWDDX can then be used to convert it back
again. There are many ways to store this data but this in my mind would
be the neatest.

CFCHART Problem with tipstyle attribute?

2005-09-07 Thread Dan G. Switzer, II
Ok, I'm playing around with CFCHART on CFMX 7 Dev Edition, and I'm getting
the following error when using the tipstyle attribute:

Attribute validation error for tag CFGRAPH.
The tag does not allow the attribute(s) TIPSTYLE. The valid attribute(s) are
BACKGROUNDCOLOR,BARSPACING,BORDERCOLOR,BORDERWIDTH,COLORLIST,DEPTH,FILEFORMA
T,GRAPHHEIGHT,GRAPHWIDTH,GRIDLINES,ITEMCOLUMN,ITEMLABELFONT,ITEMLABELORIENTA
TION,ITEMLABELSIZE,QUERY,SCALEFROM,SCALETO,SHOWITEMLABEL,SHOWVALUELABEL,TITL
E,TITLEFONT,TYPE,URL,URLCOLUMN,VALUECOLUMN,VALUELABELFONT,VALUELABELSIZE,VAL
UELOCATION.
 
The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\giva\test\cfchart_test.cfm: line
9

Here's the template I'm using:
html

head
titleCFCHART Test/title
/head

body

cfgraph type=bar fileformat=jpg tipstyle=none
cfgraphdata item=Alpha value=#randRange(1, 100)# color=Red /
cfgraphdata item=Beta value=#randRange(1, 100)# color=Blue /
cfgraphdata item=Gamma value=#randRange(1, 100)# color=Green
/
/cfgraph

/body

/html

This is supposedly a valid attribute for CFMX 6.1 and 7, so I'm not sure why
it's throwing this error. I need to turn off the mouseover effects as the
goal is to send the chart via an e-mail.

I believe the tipstyle and mouseover attributes are valid but only for

do a tip or mouseover in a jpg.  And of course, if this is true, a

It doesn't matter what format value I use, even flash causes the

Also, as an FYI, the reason I need to get this attribute working is because
when you specify either JPG or PNG there is some DHTML generated to provide
mouseovers. I don't want this code generated in the output stream.

Please help correct an assumption regarding Application.cfm

2005-09-07 Thread Damien McKenna
I have an assumption regarding Application.cfm that I'm starting to
question.

It was my understanding that the Application.cfm file was
loaded+compiled the first time when a file in that directory was loaded,
e.g. the first time someone loads index.cfm the Application.cfm file for
that directory was loaded.  After that the file was not loaded+compiled
again until it was changed, i.e. a new version was uploaded.  Further
from that, it was also my understanding that the same was true for all
files cfinclude'd from Application.cfm.  Are my assumptions correct?

The reason I ask is that today one of our sites trapped an error that
suggests otherwise.  The Application.cfm for all of our sites loads a
shared file which sets some common variables - DSN names, common URLs,
etc, all of which are stored in the Application scope.  The error that
was logged said that one of these variables was not set, which does not
make sense based on my assumptions above.

So any ideas on why this might have happened?

Thanks.

Better yet:

cfhttp url=http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif;
getasbinary=yes
path=C:\DIRECTORYTOSAVEIMAGEIN
/cfhttp

There is also a file attribute if you want to specify the file, but if you just 
want it to be the same filename as the one you GET, then leave it off (like I 
did above).  Otherwise, specify the file attribute with the new filename.

Obviously, you can replace the path above with any path available to your 
server.

Re: Session Variables and returning to finish web forms

2005-09-07 Thread Robert Munn
Unless you plan to do something with the partially completed application, there 
is no reason to store it in a normalized way. You could just WDDX session.app 
and save the resulting packet into a database table; then, when the user comes 
back you just de-serialize the packet and repopulate session.app. Your table 
might look something like this:

appStore{
   userid int NOT NULL (FK),
   appData text,
   dateUpdated datetime  
}



Ok I will use a CFLOCK and CFTransaction for the data processing.

At present all the data entered in the form is stored as session
variables, which enables the form to be split up over several screens
which works well.

i.e.
 cfinput name=jobdesc size=50 required=Yes message=Please
provide the job description value=#SESSION.app.jobdesc#


The final option below I am trying to implement into the form and am
just looking for ideas on how this can best be achieved using
Coldfusion.

If the users have logged in as a member, they have the ability to save a
partially completed online application and complete it later (by
clicking the 'Finish Later' button at the bottom of the form)

How would this be best achieved ?

Would you save the form field session variables entered on the form into
a database table with a relationship to the members table ?  

If so when the user returns to the form to complete it what would be the
best way of ensuring that the data returned from the database table to
populate the form fields works in conjunction with the
value=#SESSION.app.jobdesc# that is set on the form fields by default
that enables the form to be split over several screens ?

Thanks

Ian

Subject: Re: Session Variables in CFMX 7

Hi Ian, Here are a few ideas regarding this.
 Best deal with session variables within a CFLOCK statement (see docs
for details of possible race conditions) and therefore a useful way to
go about this is to copy any session structures to the request scope on
each request.
 I have a similar 'wizard' style process and I create a structure
(inside
cflock) session.wizard
 For each wizard step I create session.wizard.stepN (where N is step
number). 
 I then duplicate this structure to the request scope so that I can
forget about locking from now on.
 In each form page I CFPARAM request.wizard.stepN.formfieldN for all my
form fields for this step with any default values.
 When the form is submitted I cfloop thru the form structure and copy
the form values to the request.wizard.stepN.formfieldN values. Finally I
duplicate the request scope to the session scope inside a CFLOCK so the
values are remembered to the next request.
 In terms of keeping this data in some way, you might consider using
CFWDDX which can convert complex CFML variables (like your wizard
structure) and convert them to a XML string. You could then write this
string to a file or database. CFWDDX can then be used to convert it back
again. There are many ways to store this data but this in my mind would
be the neatest.

Damien,

It's likely that you are setting application variables because you say they
are stored in the application scope. Application variables are designed to
be set once and read many times - or at least ap variables like DSN are
designed this way.  Just changing the file will not reload these variables
per se - unless your code is written to write to the variables over and over
(as some code is).

I have a blog on Ap variables that might shed some light.

One other possible hitch that just recently hit us (when moving an app from
CF 4.5 to MX7): Application NAMES in MX are case-sensitive.

So, in our case there was an extraneous cfapplication tag deep in the code
that spelled the app name the same, but used different case.  Although this
worked fine in 4.5 it creates a brand new (empty) application in MX.

Once we removed the (unneeded anyway) cfapplication tag everything worked
again.

 It's likely that you are setting application variables
 because you say they are stored in the application scope.

 I have a blog on Ap variables that might shed some light.

 cation.variables

Thanks for that, the article itself and Sean's replies helped clear up a
few things.

 Damien,

 It's likely that you are setting application variables because you say
 they
 are stored in the application scope. Application variables are designed
 to
 be set once and read many times - or at least ap variables like DSN are
 designed this way.  Just changing the file will not reload these variables
 per se - unless your code is written to write to the variables over and
 over
 (as some code is).

One other possible hitch that just recently hit us (when moving an app from
CF 4.5 to MX7): Application NAMES in MX are case-sensitive.

So, in our case there was an extraneous cfapplication tag deep in the code
that spelled the app name the same, but used different case.  Although this
worked fine in 4.5 it creates a brand new (empty) application in MX.

Once we removed the (unneeded anyway) cfapplication tag everything worked
again.

cfform / flex stylesheet explorer

2005-09-07 Thread Ryan Guill
Hey guys,

Not that long ago I remember seeing someone had developed a cfform (i
believe, it may have been flex) explorer that showed all of the
different styles available and updated it all on the clientside.  I
cannot find it for anything now, ive tried google and mxna.  Does
anyone know what im talking about and can point me in the right
direction?  I am doing a user group meeting tonight and wanted to
include it.

Thanks,

Is there a way to send an attachment via CFMAIL w/out pulling it from disk?

2005-09-07 Thread Dan G. Switzer, II
I'm using CFCHART (yes, CFCHART, not CFGRAPH--I doubled checked it this time
g) and need to send the charts via e-mail.

When using the name attribute with CFCHART, it will store the binary in a
variable in memory. I'd like to take this output and attach it to the e-mail
w/out writing the file to disk first. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I can find a way to use toBase64() and
manually format the CFMAIL message anymore (in older versions of CF you
could manually format the CFMAIL message.)

Is there a way to use cfmailparam / to encode an attachment to the message
straight from memory?

I'm trying to avoid having the spooled message be dependent on other files
on the disk. I have my reasons...

Yeah - that's has to be the case being on a java platform an oversite.

If they do fix it it will probably break all thos apps out there that depend

Converting from cf5 to mx6.1 compatibility issues

2005-09-07 Thread Terry Troxel
I am new to MX6.1 and have an existing program that works
fine in CF5 and I am getting this error in 6.1.
Could someone show me what I have to change as I am not
sure.

Terry Troxel


Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.  
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate
expression result as a simple value, however, the result
cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are
strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values.
Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex
values. 
The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to
use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might
be trying to use a query variable in a CFIF tag. This was
possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in later
versions. 
 
  
The error occurred in

Re: Converting from cf5 to mx6.1 compatibility issues

It is #URL# you can not have a variable named that or at least can not 
reference it without a scope since URL is a scope within itself.

 Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
 The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate
 expression result as a simple value, however, the result
 cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are
 strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values.

looks like the #url# would probably be the suspicious canidate.  #url#
is a scope or structure, not a simple string.

Compiling Java ?%$/%??

2005-09-07 Thread Claude Schneegans
Hi,

In the CFMX docs about Writing a Java CFX tag, it looks so simple:
 Compile the java source file into a class file using the Java 
compiler. If you are using the command-line tools bundled with the JDK, 
use the following command line, which you execute from within the 
classes directory:
javac -classpath cf_root\lib\cfx.jar MyHelloColdFusion.java
...
If you receive errors during compilation, check the source code to make 
sure you entered it correctly. If no errors occur, you successfully 
wrote your first Java CFX tag.

 Now what if you get no error message and no tag compiled and no cab 
library updated, NO NOTHING?
When I run the compiler, I see some black window open a fraction of a 
second, then POUF! it is gone!
Where are my error messages?

I tried to redirect text results from the compiler with some errors.txt 
file,
like in good old days under DOS, I get a file, but it is empty :-(

Can someone help?

Thanks.

RE: ColdFusion Installation - more FREAKING JNDI problems

Incidentally I discovered this beast of an issue when setting up CFMX 7 on
Win2k3 on VMWare 5 some time ago.

Naturally installs in VMWare are much slower, so this was quite a pain to
troubleshoot and figure out exactly why I couldn't just install it.

I never did determine a viable work around aside from installing CFMX 7
before installing SP 1, has anyone else?

If you run the Java compiler from the command line, it should send all

Fusebox Conf interview 6: Adv FB, Security plugin, Ruby on Rails

2005-09-07 Thread Michael Smith
In this issue of ColdFusion conference and training news:

1. Fusebox and Frameworks Conference News - hotel price ends 9/12/05
2. Advanced Fusebox interview with Jeff Peters
3. Lock/key security plugin interview with Sandy Clark
4. Ruby on Rails for CF Developers interview with John Paul Ashenfelter

Happy coding
- Michael Smith,
   TeraTech, Inc  http://www.teratech.com/
   Creating excellent custom software since 1989

1. Fusebox and Frameworks News
**

* Win a gigabyte memory stick - if you sign up for the Advanced Fusebox class
by Wed 9/21/05 5pm you will be entered in a raffle to win a gigabyte memory
stick. If you have already signed up you are entered already!

* We have cancelled the following classes
MT101 Mach-II with Hal Helms   Wed 9/28/05
FB103 Intro to Fusebox Wed 9/28/05

* Repeat sessions - from our attendee survey
This Glue Dries Fast - Joe Rinehart
Best Practices and Frameworks - Simon Horwith
Head First Mach-II - Matt Woodward

* Hotel price deadline is 9/12/05
The group rate is $199 (regular is $289) using group code FUSFUSA
and is good through Monday  9/12/05
http://www.cfconf.org/fusebox2005/hotel.cfm

* The winner of the survey competition is Clark Valberg who wrote on why
you should go to the conference:
Because if you DON’T go, life will go on as usual… That is to say you’ll be
sitting in your drab sunless cubicle breathing stale air, drinking stale
coffee, and pretending to work, while at the same time bobbing your head
around trying to watch your back for the boss. You’ll find yourself feeling
depressed as you read Simon Horwith's blog entries going on about how much
fun everyone’s having at the conference. Then, inevitably, in a moment of
weakness the boss will sneak up on you. Startled, you’ll accidentally 
ALT+TAB
one too many times right onto the adult video trailer you muted, but forgot
to close. The boss will ask you back to his office where you’ll be informed
of your termination. Since you really never used any kind of real 
development
methodology – and your code was a total mess you probably won’t even get a
letter of recommendation. So there you'll be - managing a Bennigan's and
living in your parent’s attic. Maybe you should have just gone to the
conference, eh?

* The Fusebox and Frameworks conference http://www.cfconf.org/fusebox2005/
   is only 3 weeks away

* Long time CFer Cameron Childress set up a site to help displaced NOMMUG
   members: Help a fellow developer from New Orleans -  if you think you could 
offer
anything at all in the way of networking, a place to stay while they get on
their feet, a friendly face, even a job opportunity, please join the
temporary NOMMUG Help list at
http://www.sdcfug.org/nommug

* CFUNITED student wrote Katrina help site - CF rapid development succeeds 
again.

* CF Underground VII will be in Anaheim CA 10/15/05 before MAX
   The call for speakers is up at
   http://www.cfconf.org/cf_underground7/survey.cfm
   Please complete by Friday 9/9/05


2. Advanced Fusebox interview with Jeff Peters
**
Michael Smith:  Today I'm talking to Jeff Peters about his preconference class,
Advanced Fusebox.  Welcome back, Jeff.

Jeff Peters:  Thanks, Michael.  It's hard to believe we're on top of another
Fusebox conference already!

MS:  It sure is.  And you're teaching another class the day before the
conference.  Tell me a little about what attendees can expect.

JP:  Well, I'm really looking forward to it.  I've been doing a lot of intro-
level training lately, and it should be a lot of fun to do an advanced class.
We're going to get into the grit of Fusebox 4 and really look at how to make it
work for you in a professional setting.

MS:  So students should have some experience with Fusebox already?

JP:  I would highly recommend it, not only because we're going to be working
with advanced-level material, but also because it's a one-day class and we're
going to be moving fairly quickly.

MS:  That's good to know.  What sorts of topics will you be teaching?

JP:  We'll be looking at the Fusebox process in detail, examining what Fusebox
does when and how to leverage settings in the application configuration file.
We'll also examine using CFCs with Fusebox, some advanced layout techniques, and
how to integrate Fusebox with other applications.

MS:  Sounds like a lot for a one-day session.

JP:  It should be a full session, but hopefully interesting and fun enough to
make the material useful and memorable.

MS:  Great.  I'm sure your students are in for a good day.  What should they
bring to class?

JP:  A laptop with ColdFusion ready to go, and preferably the Fusebox 4 core
files downloaded.  I'll have them available as well, but it will save time if
students already have them.

MS:  I'll make sure we get the word out.

JP:  Thanks.  Good luck

You could just fix the headless system so that it works. Use XServ or
a similar virtual XServer to provide a vurtual head and take away the
headless arguments in the CF JVM startup string. Then everything will
work (Java, CF, CFCHART etc).

 You can also use/call php.exe from the command-line,

  If you want to do away with PHP altogether, there are a couple

Multiple Processors and CFMX 7

2005-09-07 Thread Gonzo Rock
I am getting ready to install our application at a new client site by 
downloading the CFMX7 trial software and then registering it once all is 
well and happy. However I have a couple of quick questions first.

1.) Will the CFMX 7 trial software run on a quad processor machine?
2.) Can it convert to a Standard Edition CFMX7 version by entering the Reg 
Code once purchased?
3.) It's very vanilla CF code and battle hardened on 6.1... never tested on 
7... am I crazy?

thanks to all who might know,

Generally, yes. However, I don't think you can run Standard Edition on a
four-processor machine according to the license. I'm no licensing expert,
though.

 3.) It's very vanilla CF code and battle hardened on 6.1... 
 never tested on 7... am I crazy?

Is it a production server? If so, yes, you're crazy. If not, no, you're not
crazy.

Re: ColdFusion Installation - more FREAKING JNDI problems

2005-09-07 Thread Laura Stewart
I had a problem with MSDE setup and CF7 as well.  This turned out to be the 
solution for me, if it's any help. 
http://www.robisen.com/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=BE1AB594-55DC-F2B1-F392552E0A41542A

The specific error I was getting when attempting to verify datasources in CF 
was:
 [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection 
refused: connect

Frustrating, but at least it's set up now... now I'm dealing with a
totally different problem, trying to set up an MSDE server on that
machine and not having any luck... I was able to get it installed once
but then couldn't connect to it with anything (MS SQL Enterprise
Manager, CF, ODBC) except a 3rd party tool called MSDE Manager (from
WhiteBear I think it was)... Good to know the thing was working, but
completely unhelpful if I can't connect to it with CF... So I
uninstalled it to try again and now I can't get it reinstalled...
sigh... just another day in freaking nothing works as advertised
land...

Re: Compiling Java ?%$/%??

2005-09-07 Thread Claude Schneegans
 If you run the Java compiler from the command line, it should send all
errors to STDOUT and you should see them right there in your command prompt
window.

Yeah, but it has been so long before I used a command prompt, it looks 
like stone age.
So I'm trying to define a command in a custom button in CF Studio, and I 
have problem
to get the stdout to be piped to a file.

I was hoping Eclipse could help me, but I see no settings no nothing for 
Java compiling :-(

Although it appears full of features, I'm still looking for simple 
things I'm using a lot in Studio,
like drag and drop to move a selection a couple of lines higher or lower.

ColdFusion Security Vulnerabilities

2005-09-07 Thread Mike Nicholls
Does anyone have any experience with reporting security vulnerabilities
to Macromedia?  I reported a vulnerability in ColdFusion using the
Macromedia Security Report Form
(http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/alertus.html)
three days ago, and haven't heard anything back yet.  From what I can
tell, the example code I provided a URL for hasn't been downloaded
either.

 

Does anyone know if it is usual to receive a response in this situation?
Obviously I'm not expecting a hotfix the very next day, but just an
acknowledgement that my report has been received and is being
investigated would be reassuring.

XML, XSD, XSL

2005-09-07 Thread Andy
Ok, I've made the decision to use XML as the format to pass data between
objects in my application.  This approach seems to have lots of advantages
as opposed to using lists of parameters or structures.  My question now is
how and why use XSD's and XSL.  

 

1.  Is there a better list to post this to?
2.  XSD's don't seem to provide much benefit in a stand-alone
application besides helping create test data via tools like xmlSpy.  I don't
even see how in ColdFusion you can validate an XML using an associated XSD.
And it doesn't look like XSL documents are based off of an XSD, so you still
have to validate if field lengths, etc using code.  Am I missing something
here?
3.  Lastly, since the XSL doesn't use data off of the XSD, it appears to
be just a different, not necessarily better, mechanism for displaying data.
I am not sure of the value for me to learn this at this point in time and I
see no value in converting screens from CF/HTML to XSL/HTML.  Again, am I
missing something here?  What type of situations cry out for XSL vs.
CF/HTML?

 

Thanks,

Andy

Re: Question about my security system

2005-09-07 Thread Mike Soultanian
 I see the point but I'm not sure if I agree with the implementation.
 
 What you talking about here is metadata: information about the file.  By
 putting all of this in the data base you're adding a level of complexity
 that I just wouldn't be comfortable with.

Well, it adds flexibility at the price of complexity.  It's not *that*
hard to implement it.  My first implementation was actually quite easy
to code.  And yes, while it is a database lookup, it's a very small 
lookup at that so I don't think it should take that much time.  I'll 
have to research how bad the performance degredation will really be...

 The cf_Security tag has to be used (it doesn't have to be used in every
 file, by the way, just a common include that's run for every request).  So
 you already have a requirement to put something in every file (or in some
 common place) but let's say it's included on every page.

Well, yes, it does need to be included on any template that needs to be
secured (every template in my case).  At the time of coding a template,
I will identify what actions are to be performed in that template.  I
will then update the cf_security tag to read like this:

cf_security permissions=read,write,delete

What happens is when the cf_security tag runs, it will update the
database with those permissions (if it hasn't already been done) and
then I can go into the GUI and find that file and assign groups to each
of those permissions.

Then, when a user requests the template, cf_security runs and spits out
a structure or some variables set to TRUE for whatever permissions that
the user's group has access to.  This is how I am abstracting any
group/user references from the template.  The cf_security tag does the
lookup and spits out variables that the calling template can use for its
processing.

 But you're also inheriting a need to make every file uniquely named (or else
 moving files would be a nightmare) and this doesn't mesh with most web sites
 (which use the same root for every directory).

Ahh, yes, I've thought this out.  Obviously it's a problem if every file
on my site is called index.cfm ;)  So, instead, the cf_security tag will
include a unique file security identifier that is automatically placed
in every file that the cf_security tag is place:

cf_security permissinos=read,write,delete FileSID=jasjdj32j42kj3

The way that the SID is inserted is also handled by the cf_security tag.
  If the tag notices that it wasn't called with a FileSID, it will
generate a unique ID, register that ID in the database, then rewrite the
calling template with that ID.  This will obviously only be performed once.

As of now, I know of no other way to uniquely identify other than giving
it a unique identifier.

 You're also using a database which has no real connection to the file to
 store important information about the file.
 
 New files must be added the filesystem and then registered in the security
 system.  All changes will require a trip to this UI (and when you're talking
 about doing this on the file level I'm not sure if that's any easier than
 just changing something in the file).

Again, this is handled by cf_security automatically.  I just didn't
include that in my previous post because it was somewhat unrelated to
the overall concept.. and to keep the discussion simple.

 The parallel of the Windows permission system (well... at least NTFS) is a
 good one: the file permissions are maintained in the file or directory.
 Move a file and it still has the same permissions.

Yeah, that was exactly what I was going for.  The problem is that there
is no GUI for editing a file and dropping in the correct name.  For
example, you edit a file in NTFS and add a group or user to that file.
It looks that up the group's name in a database and then stores that SID 
in the file or wherever it stores it.

If I were to completely parallel that concept, I'd open up dreamweaver
and I'd (me, mike) be the database lookup mechanism as I open up my app
and look what groups I've created.  So, I kinda have to shift the
storage of file-level permissions into the database so that association 
can happen automatically.

 There is no centralized database of file-level permissions.
 
 In a, let's say average system, you might put your security groups in the
 file:
 
 isEntitled(User, admin,member)
 
 Which returns true if the user is an admin or a member.
 
 This isn't a bad thing in and of itself, I think.  The security information
 is where I think it should be: in the file.

You know, no, it's not that bad.  Where it gets annoying is if you
rename a group.  Now you've got a big uh oh.  Suppose Admin is now
called Support Staff and I've added a new group called System
Administrators.  Now I'd have to edit every file that makes a reference
to each of those groups and could possibly compromise my security by a
stupid editing mistake.

While I think I could try really hard to plan out my application pretty
well in the beginning to avoid any 

RE: XML, XSD, XSL

2005-09-07 Thread Dave Watts
 Ok, I've made the decision to use XML as the format to pass 
 data between objects in my application. This approach seems 
 to have lots of advantages as opposed to using lists of 
 parameters or structures. My question now is how and why 
 use XSD's and XSL.  

What exactly are these advantages? I can't see any advantages for using XML
to transport data within an application. If you want to transport data from
one application to another, then XML provides advantages, but otherwise
you're making more work for yourself.

 2.XSD's don't seem to provide much benefit in a stand-alone
 application besides helping create test data via tools like 
 xmlSpy. 

I agree; if you're not passing data around between applications, you
probably don't need DTDs or schemas. Of course, I don't think XML is
especially useful at all in those cases either, as I mentioned above.

 I don't even see how in ColdFusion you can validate an XML
 using an associated XSD.

CFMX 7 provides the XmlValidate function for this.

 And it doesn't look like XSL documents are based off of an 
 XSD, so you still have to validate if field lengths, etc 
 using code. Am I missing something here?

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, exactly. XSL documents follow
the XSL schema - that defines all the different elements and attributes you
can use within an XSL stylesheet. By itself, this won't help you with data
validation, but then again that's not what XSL is for - it's for formatting
and transforming XML documents.

 3.Lastly, since the XSL doesn't use data off of the XSD, 
 it appears to be just a different, not necessarily better, 
 mechanism for displaying data. I am not sure of the value 
 for me to learn this at this point in time and I see no 
 value in converting screens from CF/HTML to XSL/HTML.  
 Again, am I missing something here? What type of situations 
 cry out for XSL vs. CF/HTML?

If you already have a bunch of XML documents, it may be easier (and will
almost certainly be more efficient) to write XSL stylesheets and
transformations than to write CFML programs to read one XML language, then
write something else. But if your data isn't already in XML, it's usually
kind of silly to generate XML then use XSL to transform it to something else
when you could just write what you want in the first place with CF.

RE: Question about my security system

 As of now, I know of no other way to uniquely identify other 
 than giving it a unique identifier.

The file name and path is, by definition, unique within a filesystem. Why
not just use that? CF itself uses this mechanism to track which files have
been compiled, for example.

 The file name and path is, by definition, unique within a filesystem. Why
 not just use that? CF itself uses this mechanism to track which files have
 been compiled, for example.

Unfortunately, that's making the assumption that either the filename 
won't be renamed (which yes, is unlikely) or the file will not move 
(this could happen easily within the life of the app).

It's not that big of a deal for CF because it just recompiles.  It would 
suck if it lost it's permissions because then you'd have to go reassign 
them again.

 Ok, I've made the decision to use XML as the format to pass data between
 objects in my application.  This approach seems to have lots of advantages
 as opposed to using lists of parameters or structures.  My question now is
 how and why use XSD's and XSL.

Within an application?  This sounds odd... why not just pass objects?

In my option XML is really only a good option where you're forced into a
text-only mechanism (like HTTP).  Other than that keeping things native is
nearly always the way to go.

 1.Is there a better list to post this to?

Probably. ;^)

 2.XSD's don't seem to provide much benefit in a stand-alone
 application besides helping create test data via tools like xmlSpy.  I
 don't
 even see how in ColdFusion you can validate an XML using an associated
 XSD.
 And it doesn't look like XSL documents are based off of an XSD, so you
 still
 have to validate if field lengths, etc using code.  Am I missing something
 here?

Nope... XSDs are far from a panacea... they check structure and dialect.
Dat's it.

CF 7 can validate an XSD and previous versions can do with outside help (COM
or Java).

 3.Lastly, since the XSL doesn't use data off of the XSD, it appears to
 be just a different, not necessarily better, mechanism for displaying
 data.

Well - for formatting and displaying data.  That's it, nothing more.

 I am not sure of the value for me to learn this at this point in time and
 I
 see no value in converting screens from CF/HTML to XSL/HTML.  Again, am I
 missing something here?  What type of situations cry out for XSL vs.
 CF/HTML?

The interesting promise of XSL is to send plain XML data to the browser and
have the XSL applied there - you send plain data and you get pretty pages.:
a complete separation of data and presentation.

The plain data is SO VERY MUCH easier for automated systems to deal with
(the promise of the semantic web) and the pretty pages are only of use to
humans so why not have them generated in the browser?

Of course it hasn't really worked out that way (yet?)

Personally I don't see much value for XSL on the server-side for the exact
reasons already mentioned: 1) Why pass XML within an application in the
first place?  And 2) why not just format it in the old fashioned way?
