RE: Access Error? CF7
Tip:
Store all dates as dates in the database and not as formatted date strings.
Format the dates when you want to display them. It will
provide consistency for all of your inserts and keep you from having to jump
through possible extra hurdles if you want to change
the formatting or do date math on those dates after grabbing them from the
database.

In other words, do this:
cfoutput#request.dtStamp#/cfoutput

cfoutput#createODBCDateTime(request.dtStamp)#/cfoutput

His/our guess is that the variable is not correctly set.

Re: CFUnit Help ... assertEqualsBoolean?
Jeff, cfcUnit and CFUnit are a bit different in how assertions are made. In CFUnit (like JUnit) there is a single function name asserEquals. JUnit can take advantage of method overloading, so a single method name with different argument types will work. CFUnit takes the same approach and only has one assertEquals method that can accept any type for its expected and actual arguments, and it determines the type of assertion/comparison that needs to be done based on the determined type of the expected argument. cfcUnit is done differently. I have found that implying the type of test that needs to be done based on the types of the arguments gives up too much control and is harder to understand down the road. Instead, each type of assertion has its own method that is called explicitly by the test case methods. This is the default behavior for cfcUnit and does not require the use of any special base class. As far as testing for the presense of application variables within your test cases or making your objects under test aware of them, it is a bad practice (except in certain cases) and leads to untestable code. If you need these values to be available to your objects, it is best to pass them in explicitly via the constuctor or other method arguments. I hope this helps.

Re: Query of Queries (QoQ) performance question
It seems as if that's one area where they may be a benefit (try it and see) - another may be if you had a large, complex query with many joins that took a long time to execute - once that dataset is in memory it may be quicker to extract smaller subsets via QoQ. Of course it may not; if you use bind parameters on the initial query, the execution plan is cached by the DB system and the indexing is good (e.g. gathered stats are up-to-date, if using Oracle), the initial query may still perform really well on subsequent tries.

CFUnit takes the same approach and only has one assertEquals method that can accept any type for its expected and actual arguments, and it determines the type of assertion/comparison that needs to be done based on the determined type of the expected argument. cfcUnit is done differently. I have found that implying the type of test that needs to be done based on the types of the arguments gives up too much control and is harder to understand down the road. Instead, each type of assertion has its own method that is called explicitly by the test case methods. This is the default behavior for cfcUnit and does not require the use of any special base class. As far as testing for the presense of application variables within your test cases or making your objects under test aware of them, it is a bad practice (except in certain cases) and leads to untestable code. If you need these values to be available to your objects, it is best to pass them in explicitly via the constuctor or other method arguments. I hope this helps.

Now that I change the extends to grab the extra functions though, I am still getting the error above. It is not the most descriptive as to where the problem is . As a brief aside, I went and checked out CFCUnit to see if it was any better documented. However, when setting up a test case there, it does not appear that the execution of the test case includes the Application.cfc file for the project. Am I missing something here or am I doing something wrong by utilizing application level variables (dsn, cfc mapping, etc.) in my test cases to pass to the object?

RE: Creating dynamically array variables
I need to create a dynamically variable inside this code: cfset FormVariable = Subject cfset form.fieldnames = ListSort(form.fieldnames,textnocase) cfloop list=form.fieldnames index=ThisItem cfif ThisItem is not fieldnames AND Len(Evaluate(ThisItem)) !--- HERE BEGIN THE TROUBLE--- cfset ArrayAppend(session.forms.[FormVariable][1],ThisItem) cfset ArrayAppend(session.forms.[FormVariable][2],Evaluate(ThisItem)) /cfif /cfloop Using that code CF 6.1 shows me this error: A CFML variable name cannot end with a . character. What's wrong? You can't use dot and array notation simultaneously. If you have a form variable called myname, you can refer to it as Form.myname or Form[myname], but not Form.[myname].

RE: GIF Pipes/AJAX/async gateway
-Original Message- From: James Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2005 8:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: GIF Pipes/AJAX/async gateway One could also use YODEL as a transport by sending and returning a YODEL string via CFAJAX, if you wanted to move complex variables around. This would save re-writing the xmlhttprequest calls etc. 'Xactly. ;^) YODEL doesn't have any internal infrastructure for data transfer - you'd need something like CFAJAX (or whatever else you like) to actually pass the data around. The next release of the CF and JS serializers (which should be out soon since I'm on vacation this week) will also add in some automation for Objects/CFCs. I think this will work like this (I'm still building it, this is the theory): 1) You build a CFC-representation of the object your need. For example a drop down list might be represented as an array of structs (each struct an option). 2) The (soon to be released) CF YODEL serializer will automatically generate the value of the Custom attribute based on the name of the CFC. 3) You generate a YODEL custom handler for that custom data type in JavaScript. For example a function which takes an array of objects (structs) an generates an array of Option objects. From that point on the act of deserialization will also generate your Option objects automatically. Both the JavaScript and the CF YODEL implementations already support custom handlers - I just want to automate them based on the object name. Once that's done I'd like to start a canned library of handlers to make implementation even easier.

AFAIK, there is no work around. Just an FYI DK On 11/25/05, John Paul Ashenfelter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 11/23/05, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do you span sessions across ColdFusion servers if you aren't using Enterprise? You don't. Isn't it all a matter of how you cluster the machines though? I mean, if you want to use sessions in a clustered environment, you just need to make sure that your load balancer uses sticky sessions. Basically, the goal is not to ever toss users between servers, but just assign users to a server based on the load balancing parameters when they first land on your site. If you do that, you aren't spanning sessions across CF servers. This approach is often referred to as sticky sessions. If you use sticky sessions, you don't get failover, only load-balancing. This may or may not be acceptable, depending on your business needs and general server stability. Furthermore, you get a less powerful version of load-balancing -- incoming initial user sessions are balanced according to load (or whatever balancing scheme is being used) but once the user is *on* a server, they're on it for the sessions (thus the sticky). So if a server slows down b/c of a runaway process for example, *new* users get balanced to the less loaded servers, but the folks on the server with the slowdown are stuck. This is in contrast to active loadbalancing without sticky sessions where the user gets the least loaded server (or whatever is set in the balancing rubric) on *every* request. As an aside, implementing session-aware clustering can actually degrade performance, even when done right. Using files to store session for example, is a common approach in both the LAMP stack and RubyOnRails for scaling horizontally across N servers -- but your chokepoint becomes the SAN or whatever storing the data. Even more advanced solutions like memcached (eg LiveJournal and Slashdot) or J2EE session clustering (eg CFMX) have problems b/c replicating data between multiple nodes takes time when the data is very active. It's always a balance of reliability vs performance. -- 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.
