The system is completely CFC based and provides only the services for security - you provide the interface.

Re: Application Security Framework or model available?
If you're willing to accept the framework it comes with. :) There's a complete security suite in the Members onTap plugin that would be able to provide the kind of access you describe. You would probably need to implement a RuleManager component to augment the security suite that's built into the plugin -- which I did in the Blogs onTap sample application. In fact, the security suite actually lends itself to this quite well as there's a relatively simple method that can be used in the application stage to override the default security settings. Thus a user can have permission to CRUD in general, which can then be overridden for an individual project at the beginning of the request to disable C, U, or D. The RuleManager component would then simply provide a mechanism for layering the security rules (and an interface for users to assign the 2nd layer) to determine who has access to which projects. The first layer of permissions is role-based (although a single user can be a member of multiple roles) -- the RuleManager components would allow you to assign any kind of logic you'd like to override the default rules, so it can be role-based but wouldn't need to be, for example, the Blog can allow you to let a user edit their own comments or not (at least I think I wrote in that ability), where the current user being synonymous with the comment author of course has no relationship to the role system at all. > CRUD: Create, Read, Update, Delete. > Does anyone know where I could find information and > examples of > applying access control on parts of a web application and > its data? > For example: I could have a list of users with permissions > to projects like so: > User1: > RUD: Project 1 > RU: Project 2 > R: Project 3 (Can Read Only Part of the Project) > User 2 > R: Project 1 (Can Read All of the Project) > RU: Project 2 > RUD: Project 3 > I have been searching the internet and I have found a > couple ideas so > far.

Yes and no. :) It may just be that the system is genuinely so complex that routine use of multi-hundred line queries is really necessary. It may be that I would have to actually sit down and look over the code and the db schema myself to understand that... But as a general rule I'm not inclined to think so... My money would be hedged on the idea that there is _some_ similarity between the payroll for one department and the next. If there's not, then I'd love to write a business case for your company outlining how they're hemoraging hundreds of thousands of dollars every year by making their programmers spend many, many extra hours coding by (among other things) reinventing payroll every time they create a new business unit. :P Actually (and I mean absolutely no disrespect by this) this conversation reminds me of another thread where someone was asking about how to programatically add columns to a table (or maybe tables to the db, I'm not sure). It turned out that their use for the extra tables was to create extra dimensions in a crud application. I don't remember the _precise_ details of their environment, but in essence they had a table that held the core records (example: workflow event) and then for each property that a user wanted to apply to those core records (example: status, priority) they would have the system programatically create another table for them. I was of course trying to explain that I felt this was a poor choice of architecture and they said, with no sarcasm "how am I supposed to do this without adding columns/tables"? I ended up sending a fairly detailed response which explained how to store id's and labels for the properties in one table and the values for properties in a 3rd so that the application would have only 3 tables and require no additional schema changes rather than continually adding columns or tables. (I had myself just recently implemented a similar 3-table workflow system.) If I remember correctly they never responded afterward. In any event, as I said, no disrespect intended. All I'm saying is that, while you could be correct in the assumption that there's not a good way to compress that code so it's not so verbose and easier to manage, I'm not inclined to think so because my own personal experience has been consistently different, but that it may be rather difficult for a) you to adequately explain your environment enough for me to fully understand the issues at hand or b) for me to adequately explain a proposed solution enough for you to implement it, particularly without my having a lot more (likely first-hand) exposure to your environment. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~

Pulling the feeds and storing into a database, then display and sort. Should I run a script every few minutes to check the feeds for new entries? And when the page is loaded, I would use some query caching so as not to . Having never done a whole lot with rss feeds other than simply displaying their contents... just trying to find the most efficiant way to go about.

RE: Application Security Framework or model available?
If you are using Fusebox, I have a roles based security system that plugs into the Fusebox permissions. Alternatively you could use it to secure parts by simply making calls to application.security.validatepermissions(). You can create profiles which apply privileges. Sample app and stuff are on my site. Works in Access and MSSql right now, but since its a database abstraction layer, you could redo the db stuff in MySql, or Oracle and have it work.

Re: JRun High Memory Usage on CFMX 7
Well, another problem I've had like that was when the file backup services were eating up 80 to 90% of the bandwidth of the internal NIC card. coldfusion was stuck using ill amounts of transfer space to get and send data to the SQL server. Simular issue. Jrun would just hang. you can see this if you remote desktop into the server and run task monitor... on the network tab you will see what's going through your internal and external NIC cards. Normally this sits around under 10% but if you see it spikeing to 80 or 90% I'd bet on that as the issue.

The Software is great too. The gzip compression works great and there hasn't been any noticeable performance increase using it. I would suggest giving the demo a try.

Thanks, Nick. The problem with this method is that if I click on any part of
the row, it drills down. So if I have two columns, one that's just text and
another that's an editable text field, clicking on either one ends up drilling
down. I need the drilldown to only happen on the static text column.

Well You'll notice I didn't bring up "Check boxes" I haven't gone there yet but it might have it's use. I guess that data could sit in the SelectOptions table... , just need to loop though the boxes upon submit of the form to get all of the answers inserted.

RE: video files
>> what fomat have you found to have the most widespread >> ease of use/acceptance. I host hundreds of video files and serve about 1.5 to 2 terabytes a month from www.halomovies.org a machinima website. I typically host them in WMP9 (.WMV) and QuickTime (.MOV) formats and also in Flash Movie formats (.FLV). All the above formats are capable of progressive downloads (WMV and MOV and FLV) however I found that the bandwidth issues were such that it was better to place the WMP9 and QuickTime files into Zip files and deliver them to the desktop. That actually cut our bandwidth requirements nearly in half. We still have .FLV files that play in a browser using a simple Flash Player. What I found has more to do with social behavior than technical issues. When we presented them in the web browser with progressive downloads the users would watch (download) them several times over a period of a week, but when they downloaded them to their PC in a zip archive they would download them once. This bandwidth savings was very important since it is a hobby (no money) website I pay for. >> what are the best programs out there for compressing those into >> whatever that best format is I use Sorenson's Squeeze program to convert, compress and re-encode the videos. For progressive in browser videos The Flash Movie format is pretty compact for progressive downloads. >> does anyone know of hosts which provide reliable "media" hosting? Any major host can do media hosting provided they have the bandwidth to support it. Like I said my little hobby website uses 1.5 to 2 terabytes a month in bandwidth. With media files bandwidth is the issue. 95% of the files I serve are done via FTP because I archive them into zip files. As an example of what can happen, one of the people I host for (www.thisspartanlife.com) a machinima was written up on www.gismodo.com and www.boingboing.net on the same day. For about three hours we saturated an OC3 connection with downloads until I scaled back the bandwidth on the FTP server.

re: Coldfusion online photo gallery creator?
I have a small simple flash one that i need to finish up, nothing special but good for a quick use. I been using them everywhere this last week and my clients love'm here is a test page http://www.jamwerx.com/photogallery/index.cfm its not made to be a big huge production just to get a simple gallery going. It uses a flash drag n drop component, rick roots imagecfc to do the resizing and thumbs, cfm, xml and is in xhtml strict 1.0 and can be very easily matched to fit your site, i basically made it as a very basic template to just drop into my apps and then cutomize them from there, takes like 5 minutes to get going. Like the code is fairly basic and I left it that way so the user can decide on what methods they want to add stuff like error and file checking. The flash component is $10 but very well worth it, if anyone is interested in the code I will zip it up, you can buy the component from me. ~Dave the disruptor~ From: "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 9:21 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Coldfusion online photo gallery creator?

Subject: Flash Form CFGRID Hyperlink
The more I use Flash Forms, the more I find how restrictive they are.
Case in point:
I'm trying to create a simple CFGRID with two columns: car name and a
text field for color. I want the user to be able to type in anything
for the color, and I want this information to be saved to a table.
All of this is fine -- it's within the scope of CFGRID -- but I want one
other thing. I want the user to be able to click on the car name and
have it drill down to another page (picture and specs of the car, let's
say).
It seems like it isn't possible, at least not to me, to have an
updatable grid that allows for a hyperlink in one of its columns. If
there's a workaround, I'd like to hear it.
FYI: I can't use onChange="xx" because if I click on the text field,
it drills down.

Dynamic form creation
I have a custom CMS that I use for most all of my clients. With each iteration, I take a chance to add extra bits of code and improvements. The aim is to cut down the amount of time needed to build out for each client. One of the things that has been on my list for a LONG time is dynamic form element creation. Passing in a few values (field name, labels, whether the field is required, etc) and have the corresponding code generated for me. This would reduce the amount of code on the actual template page, splitting it out to CFCs or custom tags. I'm wondering if any of you have done something like this before and might care to share your methodolgy. Text and textarea fields would obviously be VERY simple, but what about radio buttons? Checkboxes, or even worse, select drop-downs? I'm not asking for code, just ideas. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234530 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: OOP, why me?
Thanks Isaac, I think you answered my question by stating that most frameworks don't help you with data access. If that is the case, then I could use FB/MG/whatever and then do the data access how I like. They might suggest I put my queries in a specific location, but after that I can make them 10 lines or 500 lines, and the framework will work the same. As far as using views: we do use views here, and they are very nice. But let me give a simple example to explain why our queries can be complex. Say you have financial data in 3 different databases, all built by 3 different people. The reason there are 3 different databases is because the data is gathered by 3 different business units in the company. The Budgeting system needs to gather data from all 3 systems. For example, one page in the budget tool allows you to budget for a department's payroll. In order to put the necessary data on the screen (all of the info a manager needs to create his payroll budget), you have to query the budget database itself (for historical comparisons), as well as the human resources and the ERP databases. The reason for the first two is obvious, but the ERP system is where employees charge their work orders when they do capital labor jobs throughout the year. So a data query for the payroll budget screen has to join data from all three databases, hitting multiple tables in each. This is not a simple report though, because /every/ manager in the company will use this tool, so every query will be unique to that manager's department. Also, most of the data queries behind this page are virtually useless in the rest of the budget tool. We /could/ create a view that would simplify the above queries, however this view would be useless to any other page or tool because this specific situation is very unique.

RE: OOP, why me?
[quote = "Mike"] CFCs are simply magic. Whoever thought of them deserves a nobel prize. [/quote] Well, Mike that depends on who you are talking to. (Personally, I like CFCs and I think they are really great.) But when CF start coming out, it boasts as (and it is true) simple yet powerful server side language. With a line or two in CF can accomplish the same thing with more lines of codes in other programming language (like Java for example). Anyway, that was the reason I started learning CF in CF 4 days. But with CFCs and OO introduced into CF, CF is starting to sound like Java (more like J2EE actually). And people who shams from OO languages because of their complexity choose ColdFusion in the first place, but not they face the somewhat similar complexities that is introduced into CF. That confuses a lot of old-timers of CF. In a way, there will always be push and pull with OO paradigm. Who wins and who lose, only time will tell I guess. Meanwhile, I think we mere mortal developers have to choose what is the best for our own situation.

In IIS, you can do this with a third-party ISAPI filter, such as ISAPI_Rewrite (http://www.isapirewrite.com/). In CF, you can do this by examining the requested URL in Application.cfc/cfm and redirecting as appropriate.

RE: OOP, why me?
Hi Gareth, As long as you are the only one developer who codes and maintain the application till its sunset and the code reuser is only you (you are using your own code so you know where to find one), then you do not need the OOP. As long as your code is modular (not OOP) and you don't forget what you have coded or done, you are pretty well on your way without OOP. Otherwise, OOP will benefit you. Thanks & Regards, Pine -Original Message- From: Gareth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 8:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OOP, why me? I'm the sort of person who likes to understand why I'm doing something rather than just do it. If I download a UDF I analyse it and try to learn rather than just stick it into my app and smile because it's worked. With that in mind, I wonder if someone could explain to me in super simple, beginer speak, layman terms what Object Oriented Programming means in terms of CF and why I should use it? My very basic understanding is that you have different 'layers' to perform different tasks, so when someone visits mygroovyform.cfm the processing behind the form is not done on the form page itself but passed to another page which then passes back the results. The back end processing is then done using components (cfc's). I know that's a very simplified explanation but hopefully it's true in principle. I've written a few very simple CFC's more for the sake of it than because I understood the need. The main arguments I've heard for using this approach is that it's good for code re-use and promotes clean coding. But what I can't get my head around is why? I mean, code isn't necessarily unclean because it's not built using this approach and can't code just as easily be reused using a cfmodule or even a cfinclude? I've also heard it's good in a multi-developer environment, but I'm only me so perhaps there isn't a practical reason for me to learn it at all? I've read a lot on the subject and I'd like to read more but it's difficult to enthuse myself without understanding what the real end benefit is. Model glue, mach ii, fusebox, etc. I'm sure there's a bloody good reason for 'em but what is it? Words of wisdom / good reading (including book recommendations) most appreciated.

If you continue to write your reports the same way then a DAO may not
help you reuse that code much if at all. A framework in general isn't
going to help with data access in particular (unless it happens to be
a DAO framework - I haven't looked at Reactor, so I can't comment on
that front). Although it really sounds to me like what your particular
environment lacks isn't so much OO but views... The power of a view to
simplify data access can be PHENOMENAL. I would be very surprised if
quite a few of your hundreds of line queries don't ultimately boil
down to a dozen or so well conceived views and would then be able to
produce very simple queries in your reports which probably could be
reused quite easily. Being able to reduce your queries from hundreds
of lines to tens of lines or less than ten lines I suspect would make
putting all those queries related to the same subject in a single DAO
make a lot more sense for you. May God have mercy on your soul if you
put dozens of queries with hundreds of lines each in a single DAO.
Templates (CFC or otherwise) with thousands of lines in them are
_NO_FUN_.

A DAO object typically has a collection of related data access methods
in it, so the same object would be used in several places, even if a
given method only appears on one page. Which may seem like a waste on
an individual page, and you might not be wrong if you create the
object for each request (instead of storing the object in memory)
because the server has to create the object and every method in that
object means one more thing the server has to create (an object called
a "functor" if you're curious enough to look it up on Wikipedia).
However the amount of time required to create a single method is
typically very small, so even if you do recreate the object on each
request sometimes the benefit of having all that database access in
one place for simple organizational reasons can be beneficial in
helping you see the bigger data-access picture in your application.

There are two types of caching which may or may not be relevant here.
The first is the type I described above where you have a CFC which
you've stored in memory, however, having stored that component in
memory doesn't require you to store the returned data in memory (the
second type of caching). Typically with a report you would not cache
the returned data, you would simply write a function ("method") in
your CFC which executes your query. Caching of data is typically used
for individual records when you're using "object-relational mapping"
(ORM) to provide data to "beans". The performance gained from this
scenario is mostly in the CRUD portions of an application -- an
individual detail view page may not need to access the database if the
information for the desired record is already stored in memory.

I suspect that most frameworks don't really address these issues in
particular. Most frameworks actually say very little about data access
(unless it happens to be a data-access framework, which is uncommon)
-- their authors may mention or recommend DAO's, but as is the case
with Fusebox, Mach-II, Model-Glue, the Hub, etc. most of them don't
more than hint really at what they think might be a good place to put
your ad-hoc queries.
The onTap framework is a whole other animal together -- I'm not
convinced it would do much for your issue of having hundreds of lines
of query code... It could if you used the sql-abstraction API and you
have foreign key constraints in your database, it might save you a
fair lot of keystrokes (particularly if you're using a lot of

Well...I followed your instructions...twice. IE7 was extracted and run, and I can get on the Internet with no problem...everything seems fine, except when I try to use a select.

RE: PDF Upload Problems
I remembered reading something like it in Ben Forta's book (CFMX7 Web Application Construction Kit) and I went back and searched. This is what I found: " ...illustrates one of Internet Explorer 6's policies. Unlike most other browsers, it thinks the file extension-and the format of the actual content itself-is more important than the specified content type. The content type considered only if the file extension doesn't have an associated program, or when there is no file extension. To get consistent behavior with IE, add a content-disposition header to the page request, using a tag, such as the following. The tag is the way ColdFusion enables you to send custom HTTP headers back to the browser, along with the content your template generates. You would add this line right before the line in Listing 33.3: " So, I guess you can use Content-Disposition tag somewhere? I am not exactly sure though..Just a thought.

Re: JRUN Metrics
Hey Chad. Another point to add to this is that the behavior you're seeing is far from normal. In our consulting practice we've regularly seen the number of sessions reach the default 1,000 session limit (at which point swapping kicks in), and with much higher memory utilization (in these session-intensive situations, you'd typically see the VM at max memory allocation/utilization, or ~1.5G on Windows). If your server is unresponsive at 21 sessions while only utilizing 400K of memory, then that's a significant performance bottleneck. You'll need to do some VM memory tuning at the least, and likely some substantial application tuning as well. Hope that helps.

Re: Flash Forms: Checkbox Repeater loop?
Okay, I figured this out. The checkboxes are in an array, and their
true/false state is stored in the value property. Here is my final
function which seems to work well. I'm sure it could be optimized
more, but I'll save that for version 2 :)
function globalSelect():Void {
var i:Number = 0;
var trueCount:Number = 0;
// Check value of global, and if it is 0, and more than 1 region is
selected, unselect all regions and display a popup
if (multiRegionsAllowed() == false) {
for (i = 0; i < regions.length; i++) {
if (regions[i].value == true) {
trueCount++;
if (trueCount > 1) {
regions[i].value = false;
}
}
}
if (trueCount > 1) {
alert("You may only select multiple regions if you have
selected a
global option other than 'None'.");
}
}
}

Coldfusion 7 Jrun Memory Problem
I am trying to figure out what exactly the "Sessions" refer to on my coldfusion-event.log. Does the "Sessions" refer to how many total session variables are set on my application? I am having a problem with that number causing my JRUN.exe to take up a lot of memory. When the number of sessions gets to around 21 my JRUN memory is usually around 400+k and becomes unresponsive.

Date Validation Three Digit Year
I've got an interesting form date validation problem. I'm using the standard built in cfinput date validation code. I'm also using CreateODBCDate and cfQueryParam in the query End_Date <= My problem is that if a user enters a year less than 1000 (01/01/500), it gets through the CF validation but errors at the SQL level. The SQL Server settings are not available to me. I wan't to avoid adding JavaScript or doing anything server side. Are there any other possibilities?

RE: OOP, why me?
Thanks for the verification...I figured it would
work that way.
And, yes, all my apps are customized and
relatively small at this point...no general
consumption apps. Which is probably
why I haven't been terribly concerned with
framewords, OOP, etc., since I don't
reuse much code...
However, I am starting to develop "modules"
that I can plug into any site that I develop...
like announcments, calendar, email newsletter, etc.
That does help make site development a lot faster.
I still go through the modules and customize the
code for the site, however.
