Re: cfm captchas
Hi Dave, Ironically, I'm going to open source a new CFC based Captcha called LylaCaptcha in the next week. It's loosely based off of Mark Mandel's Open Source Captcha (this derivative work has been blessed by Mark already). However, this is a full featured Captcha which includes definable font lists, coloring options, JPEG quality/anti-aliasing, LRU caching of hash reference (a must have if you wish to stream an image instead of saving the file), and much much more. The XML config file hs 34 options as well as font lists as it stands currently. I'm going to unveil LylaCaptcha at the cf.Objective() conference this weekend and will get the package up for download at my blog next week. Best of all this Captcha is open source and free to use commerically (very few restrictions are listed in the file headers). I'm releasing it under an Apache 2.0 license. Best, ...Peter -- Peter J.

RE: Ok, I give...how can I do this...
What seems to have covered all the bases in my situation is to run two error traps: Not Len(Trim(Form.Amount)) - Catches empty formfields Len(Trim(Form.Ammount)) and Not IsNumeric(REReplace(Form.Premium, [.$,],,All)) - This code makes sure there is data in the field - Allows for $ , . to be entered, but stripped out. This is important because many times for dollar amounts, those characters are used and should not trigger an error for the user - Catches data entered into the field which is just a garbage entry, such as oweinfe9, does not assign it a value as using VAL would, but doesn't accept this garbage entry by stripping out all the non-numeric characters and turning the entry into $9.00, for example - It would catch the entry as incorrect, redisplay the entry in the formfield for the user to inspect and allow changes - By using this line of code, I can also redisplay the entry in DollarFormat for the user, then have the $., stripped back out by this line for processing Those two trapping statements seems to cover all the bases, but it's hard to anticipate everything someone might throw in a formfield.

RE: RSS site like fullasagoog.com
Feed Aggregation is becoming an entire business niche. - The most popular open source aggregator is Planet:Planet. But it's Python. - There are a number of plugins for the various popular blog engines for the smaller scale needs. But nothing CF there. - Then there's the big business aggregators like NewsGator that offer both online aggregators or Enterprise installs and Private Label customized options. Their enterprise version is .NET but appears to have an API and webservices for integrating into intranet portals and such. Not much to get you started in CF, unfortunately. As for implementations for keeping the feeds current, I've seen three approaches: 1. Scheduled polling like you mentioned. This is the easiest to do, but obviously it's a brute force approach that puts the most strain on all the resources involved. 2. User triggered retrieve and cache. When someone actually looks at the aggregator information for a particular content area, do a lookup at that point and then cache that for a period of time so that it's not updating for each user hit. This is similar to how many desktop aggregator tools work. 3. Webservice triggers in the blogs you poll. For instance, in the WordPress software there's a screen in the admin to add any webservices you want to notify of updates to the blog. This is the most elegant technically, but obviously only works with feeds that can notify a webservice of updates. And of course, there's the mix and blend of all the above. For instance, using method 2's user triggers to make sure that blogs being aggregated are actually of use to the viewer and then adding it to method 1's scheduled polling queue for a period of time. Here's a blog covering the Aggregation industry. http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/archives/software/feed_aggregators/ Have fun! --- Kevin Graeme Cooperative Extension Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Extension -Original Message- From: Yves Arsenault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 7:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RSS site like fullasagoog.com Hey there, I'm considering attempting to build a similar site to fullasagoog.com.

BTW, it looks like you might be removing extra notations from a number. If that's the case, you might have problems if people enter other bogus data (like letters, other special characters). It's always better to only allow the data you want, instead of removing possible bad data (like what virus scanners do, and why you /always/ have to update your definitions).

RE: OOP, why me?
...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 Well, I will say that we don't have to routinely write these nasty queries, it's only a few specific cases like what I described before. But the problem is that each business unit has different rules for how they do payroll. If we wanted to simplify things, we'd make /everybody/ follow the same set of rules, but unfortunately that's not possible in a large company like this. Also, part of the problem is that some of these databases were poorly designed (some of them are large enterprise applications the company bought, so there's no changing of the design). So we find ourselves fighting with bad designs, and thus producing nasty queries to get things to work. ...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. So you described a 1-to-many bridge table. :) I know exactly what you mean. In fact, what you described is what we have to fight with all the time, because some of the designers of the databases we use don't understand good relational DB practices.

RE: How do I write a Regex for this?
Rick... The period and dollar sign are called meta-characters. They allow really cool stuff to happen using regex, but to treat them as themselves you have to escape them with a backslash. The period matches ANY one character. The dollar sign anchors a match at the end of a string. string = abc REReplace (string , .$, , all) would replace c I'll go a little further and say these other meta-characters are also VERY useful. [] = a character set. [0-9] = any number [a-z] = any lowercase letter [abc123] = the letters a,b,c and the numbers 1,2,3 * = as many as are there. .* would replace EVERY character in a string + = matches one or more characters string = abc123 REReplace (string , .+, , all) replaces the entire string ? = matches 0 or 1 string = abc123 REReplace (string , [0-9]?$, , all) | replaces 3 ^ = anchors at the beginning of a string REReplace (string , ^[0-9]$, , all) | replaces nothing !//-- andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

RE: How do I write a Regex for this?
Hi, Jacob... Actually, it seems the opposite approach has resulted in the error trapping I was looking for. One of the things I wanted to do was allow garbage entries to be caught and an error message and the garbage input to be redisplayed in the form. By taking out only the good stuff, in this case, a comma, a period, and a dollar sign, I'm able to still trap everything else that is non-numeric and still be able to process data that is legitmately entered (from the user's perspective) and does use a comma, period, or dollar sign. Other thoughts on this? Thanks for your input...oh, btw, I sent an email in earlier to the list that describes my (hopefully) final solution.

BTW, it looks like you might be removing extra notations from a number. If that's the case, you might have problems if people enter other bogus data (like letters, other special characters). It's always better to only allow the data you want, instead of removing possible bad data (like what virus scanners do, and why you /always/ have to update your definitions).

The period and dollar sign are called meta-characters. They allow really cool stuff to happen using regex, but to treat them as themselves you have to escape them with a backslash. The period matches ANY one character. The dollar sign anchors a match at the end of a string. string = abc REReplace (string , .$, , all) would replace c I'll go a little further and say these other meta-characters are also VERY useful.

Re: RSS site like fullasagoog.com
Should I run a script every few minutes to check the feeds for new entries? Yves: Only if you want to be hunted down by a bunch of irritated server admins for abusing their bandwidth. :) In general, you don't want to poll a given feed more than once an hour. If you must poll more frequently, you should HEAD each feed before doing a full GET... that way you can check the headers to see if anything has changed before requesting a feed full of redundant items. Hey Roger, Is there a standard method for providing head information for RSS feeds? I built some RSS syndication into the Blogs onTap plugin and wouldn't mind tweaking it to be more useful to people when I've got some time. I'm also wondering if there's a standard cut-off point for a full feed, like a certain number of records or period of time? Right now I think the main feed (if you're not looking at the feed for a specific category or a specific article) never stops... which I suppose could be considered a good thing, but I would imagine that over time if you posted regularly eventually the feed would become problematically large (on my end if not on the receiving end, since the feed itself is built with CF). I've also considered the possibility of writing the rss feeds to static files, but haven't gone that route as of yet -- I like the idea of writing to static files for a CMS (to avoid the problem of gratuitous runtime page assembly - GRUPA) but with the blog I'm hesitant to add more files because of course each new file means another something that the system may need to update or delete later and I guess because I perceive this as being more of an issue with a blog, probably because I perceive blogs as being more transient (don't ask me why). 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 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234612 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: How do I write a Regex for this?
Jacob...I realized my solution was posted in another thread, so I've included it below...

This is important because many times for dollar amounts, those characters are used and should not trigger an error for the user - Catches data entered into the field which is just a garbage entry, such as oweinfe9, does not assign it a value as using VAL would, but doesn't accept this garbage entry by stripping out all the non-numeric characters and turning the entry into $9.00, for example - It would catch the entry as incorrect, redisplay the entry in the formfield for the user to inspect and allow changes - By using this line of code, I can also redisplay the entry in DollarFormat for the user, then have the $., stripped back out by this line for processing Those two trapping statements seems to cover all the bases, but it's hard to anticipate everything someone might throw in a formfield.

RE: How do I write a Regex for this?
I think that's perfect. You are following the principle of only allowing a SPECIFIC set of characters. It doesn't matter what other crap your users might try (or hackers, for that matter), because you are saying I will only allow this specific thing. It's the same thing that Unix/Linux does for security, and exactly what Windows generally doesn't (although the more recent versions are better). In Linux, everything is turned off by default, and you have to manually allow the small set of things you want. However, in Windows everything is allowed by default, and you have to disallow things you don't want. I am oversimplifying things, as Windows isn't as bad as I'm making it sound.

Re: How do I write a Regex for this?
In Regular Expressions, just like life, there are often about a bazillion ways to do something. For example, in CF6+, you can identify digits with [0-9], [1234567890], or [[:digit:]]. In a character class (anything in []) there are odd rules about what needs to be escaped when. For example, this: [[]] will correctly match square brackets. However, to add a backslash, you can't just escape the backslash: [\\[]] -- you now need to escape all the special chars: [\\\[\]] Weird, eh?

RE: OOP, why me?
Okay, I give, it's hopeless... :P Once you get to a) someone else wrote it and they didn't know better and b) I'm not allowed to change it, then you're screwed. :P So anyway, back to my original point, frameworks /can/ work fine with complex data queries, but we've proven that in most cases complex data queries shouldn't be necessary. So my original concern was that frameworks don't work very will with complex joins and such. But you've helped me understand that's not the case, so now I'm one step closer to actually using a framework. :) -- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Building a string
OK, I've got one that has me stumped. I am in the process of building a text string to be passed into a plain text email, which will later be parsed according to it's line breaks. Not building within the cfmail tags (because that's a nightmare in it's own right) but within a variable: cfset msgBody = Here's the start.#chr(13)##chr(10)# cfset msgBody = msgBody A little more here.#chr(13)##chr(10)# cfloop list=#form.fieldnames# index=x cfif not listfindnocase(listexclude,x) cfset msgBody = msgBody replace(x,_, ,all) : cfif form[x] neq cfset msgBody = msgBody form[x] cfelse cfset msgBody = msgBody (not required and empty) /cfif cfset msgBody = msgBody #chr(13)##chr(10)# /cfif /cfloop My problem is, sometimes I don't get line breaks. There does not appear to be any rhyme nor reason, it just happens. I'm still getting my fieldnames and values (or lack of) for all fields, just, on occasion, without warning or reason, I lose my linebreaks. Not always. 18 fields and it might lose it for two or three, but they justdon't appear. Anyone?

RE: Site-wide redirect?
If you're using apache, look into the Rewrite module, you can just rewrite
all the old pages to go to the new ones. For example:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/oldpage.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/.*$ /index.cfm?page=oldpage [R=301]
You can also use regular expressions and rewrite your url's in a more
generic way, but it will probably be easier to do 10 of these if you only
have 10 pages.

Hey Roger, Is there a standard method for providing head information for RSS feeds? I built some RSS syndication into the Blogs onTap plugin and wouldn't mind tweaking it to be more useful to people when I've got some time. I'm also wondering if there's a standard cut-off point for a full feed, like a certain number of records or period of time? Right now I think the main feed (if you're not looking at the feed for a specific category or a specific article) never stops... which I suppose could be considered a good thing, but I would imagine that over time if you posted regularly eventually the feed would become problematically large (on my end if not on the receiving end, since the feed itself is built with CF). I've also considered the possibility of writing the rss feeds to static files, but haven't gone that route as of yet -- I like the idea of writing to static files for a CMS (to avoid the problem of gratuitous runtime page assembly - GRUPA) but with the blog I'm hesitant to add more files because of course each new file means another something that the system may need to update or delete later and I guess because I perceive this as being more of an issue with a blog, probably because I perceive blogs as being more transient (don't ask me why). 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 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234641 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: Faulting application jrun.exe
Subject: Faulting application jrun.exe Below is an error I sometimes see that brings down CFMX. I thought I would see if anyone has experience with this problem. One suggestion I have read is to upgrade the JVM that CF is using to 1.4.2_05. The server is running Windows 2003sp1, CFMX 6.1, JVM 1.4.2_b28. faulting application jrun.exe, version 4.0.3.10455, faulting module jvm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0003cfd4. Don't have any advice though I'd be interested to see how it works if you upgrade. I've got a new install of CFMX 6.1 (same JVM) on Win2003sp1 as well and am having crashing issues that seem related to JVM... Yesterday I got: JAR launcher encountered a problem and needed to close Which I had never seen before... I've got a load of JVM tuning bookmarks saved - the odd thing is the server always crashes in the middle of the night under no load.

I could certainly add a cfheader tag to the template to produce the 304 response, but not modified is useless without a reference point (and then once you have a reference point it's moot).

Re: CFEclipse - Lost my snipTree?
You shouldn't need to get rid of the 1.2 directory. Eclipse will automatically use the largest version number if you have multiple versions of the same plugin installed. That way upgrading is as simple as dropping in the new plugin(s), and if you need to downgrade, you just delete the newest version, and any older version will automatically become active again. cheers, barneyb On 3/8/06, Sandra Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got rid of the 1.2 plugin in the plugins directory then installed the nightly build.

I've always been under the impression that to match a meta-character, you have to escape it. In general, yes. But under some circumstances, like in a range of characters, some special characters are not special anymore, so they don't need to ne escaped. However, escaping them anyway will work as well. There are so many things to remenber about Regex, that the rule always escape special chars is simpler to remember. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

The BULK INSERT doesn't accept values like that (at least as far as I'm

and WITH clauses. Here's an example from Books Online:
BULK INSERT Northwind.dbo.[Order Details]
FROM 'f:\orders\lineitem.tbl'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '|\n'
)
Here's the full syntax description:
BULK INSERT [ [ 'database_name'.] [ 'owner' ].] { 'table_name' FROM
'data_file' }
[ WITH
(
[ BATCHSIZE [ = batch_size ] ]
[ [ , ] CHECK_CONSTRAINTS ]

]
I'm using the SQL Server 2000 reference - it may be different for other DBs

Null Pointer Exception Creating a CFC Object
On Monday, I updated our CF servers to the most-recent updater. Now, when I try to create an instance of a CFC, in the same directory as the calling page, I get a Null Pointer exception. The CFC worked before the updater was applied. My CFC is named LiberumHelpDeskReportDataGateway.cfc. My CF code is: cfset gw = createObject(component, LiberumHelpDeskReportDataGateway) If I change the name of the component, it breaks, as it should, and tells me it can not find the component. I don't have any code in the body of the CFC that is outside of any functions, so I don't believe that any code is being called before I actually call my .init() method. I restarted the CF service and removed all .class files as well. The error continues. Any ideas?

XML/XSL newbie question
I'm putting together an app that will create an XML doc on-the-fly that can then be stored for use in email output. I have three child nodes - one for the Story Link, one for the Story Headline and one for the Story Teaser Text (bodytext). I've been able to build the first two, no problems, just use XMLFormat on the variable string I'm passing to the XML doc. The third has the possibility of having one or many paragraphs, so I'm using #XMLFormat(ParagraphFormat(bodytext))# to convert the string before I store it in the XML doc. The problem I'm having is that when I use my XSL Stylesheet to format the XML for output, I am getting the raw p tags being output in the bodytext, like this: Here is line one P Here is line two P P Skipped three lines P When I want it to look like this: Here is line one Here is line two Skipped three lines Any ideas on how to properly do this? I'm an XML noob, so I'm sure there is a function or two I'm missing here.

Re: Arrays within the Application Scope disappearing
I have inherited this application that stores all the navigation information for the web site in a structure within the application scope. The structure contains a series of arrays one array for the top navigation,one for the side navigation and yet another for the footer information. The problem I'm having is every now and then one of the arrays within the structure disappears so the site throws an error. I know I could just put a band-aid on the problem but I want to try figure out why the array is disappearing. The application scope is set to expire every 2 days. Cfmx 6.1 Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 Where and how are these arrays being created? It's possible that you could have a race condition which is causing the system to error out during the creation of one of the arrays and then the array would be un-built on subsequent requests because the test for building them is passing as a result of code executed before the error.

RE: RSS site like fullasagoog.com
Hmmm... okay... I'm having a tough time seeing how that would work... I could certainly add a cfheader tag to the template to produce the 304 response, but not modified is useless without a reference point (and then once you have a reference point it's moot). Maybe I should go google search for another header that indicates when the file was last modified... If I recall correctly, in the HEAD request you'd send an if modified since header to see if the file has been modified. The 304 response would tell you that it hadn't.

OT - Manage threads in list email (when users use exchange, pine, etc)
Guys, I need to draw from your internet/email expertise for a sec... I'm trying to parse message headers to correlate messages from a list into Conversation Threads. The list sends to recipients, etc. I basically make a fake account which becomes a Recipient and track msgs on a web forum. If you submit from the webforum, it sends it to the list. So you can get a message, when you send to the list, or compose/reply from the forum. I have a JavaMail client with a special mail account which I subscribe to the list. Whenever it gets a message, it tries using the Message-ID, In-Reply-To, and vaguely tries interpreting (for outlook) the Thread-Index Here are some questions I have 1) How does outlook/exchange, etc create Thread-Index (I know the basic structure of the string, and what it's trying to do, but could I generate a thread-index on my own and send to outlook/exchange? If so how do I generate them?) 2) How can I get outlook to respond with a In-Reply-To... Right now it doesn't seem to do that, so I don't know which thread/post to associate the message with. 3) Whats the best way, in java with JavaMail API, to convert a (possibly html only) message into text-only content for insertion into a DB? 4) Is there a way/trick for me to insert headers into a message, and have outlook send them when responding to a message?

Re: RSS site like fullasagoog.com
Is there a standard method for providing head information for RSS feeds? Isaac: Yep... it's called Conditional GET. The idea is that the server provides ETag and Last-Modified headers on every request, and the client stores them away. The next time the client sends a request, it sends that info back, and the server determines in things have changed since the last request. If there have been changes, the server responds with the feed... if not, it responds with a 304. Here's a couple entries on the subject... me: http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/?mode=articleentry=1853 Pete Freitag: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/235.cfm Mine is a walkthrough of the process, his is more code-specific. Now, there's also a further step you can take to conserve bandwidth, one that is primarily useful with large feeds of rapidly updating info. It's described in RFC3229, which covers delta encoding. Basically, the concept is this: - The client sends an A-IM header with a value of feed to the server, along with If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since. (A-IM stands for Accepts-Instance Manipulation.) - The server spots the extra header and recognizes that the client supports feed deltas. - Instead of returning the default feed, the server returns only the entries added/updated since If-Modified-Since. - The server also returns the following with the feed: a Vary header set to If-None-Match, an IM header with a value of feed, and a response code 226 IM Used. Again, this is primarily of interest to high-volume feed producers... the average blog is probably better off saving the extra CPU cycles chewed up by the process than trying to preserve a few extra MB of bandwidth. But on the client side, aggregator developers should try to support it... it requires very little extra code, and can make a big difference in some situations. -- Roger Benningfield http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234683 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: XML/XSL newbie question
Any ideas on how to properly do this? I'm an XML noob, so I'm sure there is a function or two I'm missing here. Couple of pointers: 1) When creating XML nodes with XmlElemNew, it's unnecessary to use XMLFormat() to format either text nodes appended to the node array or to attributes added to the XmlAttributes collection. So if you're using functions to build your doc and using XMLFormat() to format your nodes: stop. :) 2) With prior versions of CF (6.0 and possibly 6.1) the XML engine by default didn't understand the apos; entity (which is used in XmlFormat() to replace apostrophes). Although for the majority of XML packets, the apos; entity is unnecessary (because the doc uses double-quotes for its attributes). Thus with these versions of CF, using XmlFormat() on a value with an apostrophe in it can actually _create_ an error that wouldn't otherwise occur. You can get around this by either adding the entity to the XML doc or by wrapping XmlFormat() with another function to replace the apos; entities with #39; (oddly enough, I had a similar problem with JSStringFormat() being broken -- although I believe they've fixed the XmlFormat() issue with CF7). 3) When a string goes into an XML doc as an attribute or a text node, it comes out exactly the way it went in. So if you add she said this it will come out as she said this or if you add she said quot;thisquot; it will come out as she said quot;thisquot; -- I know, seems obvious -- but the nuance may be what's troubling you. Because you don't need to use XmlFormat() when building elements with XmlElemNew(), if you then add a text node with XmlFormat() it will go in with the extra and ; characters, so when the XML packet is serialized (to a string) it will become amp;lt;pamp;gt;some stuffamp;lt;/pamp;gt; which will then come back out of the packet as: lt;pgt;some stufflt;/pgt; instead of coming out as psome stuff/p So it may be that just removing XmlFormat() will solve your issue. On the flip side, I generally find it easier to creat XML packets either with cfxml or cfsavecontent (which is more efficient if you're creating a packet for someone else because there's less overhead to create the string because CF doesn't automatically parse the XML). If you decide to use either of these, then you do need to use XmlFormat() when ouputting variables within your cfsavecontent or cfxml tags. What's really funny is I had this same conversation with Matt Woodward (one of the other Team Macromedia / Adobe Community Experts members who's speaking at cf.Objective this weekend) a couple years ago when I was still in Dallas. The funny part (more so than the fact that I was surprised that he was having any trouble figuring it out) is that iirc this was just _after_ he'd written an article about using XSL for the ColdFusion Developer's Journal. :P p.s. I've got some code for generating an RSS feed that uses XmlFormat() to allow html content in the rss body which might help illustrate this nuance if you're interested. I think the standard for RSS basically specifies what you're trying to accomplish with regard to embedding html content. 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 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234684 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: Building a string
I appreciate everyone's assistance. Turns out that Outlook (I hate it, but am required to use it for my work email) was removing what it deemed 'extra line breaks'.

RE: Null Pointer Exception Creating a CFC Object
OK. Now, I'm really getting pissed at CF!! I created a mapping that pointed to the same directory as the CFC. I created a custom tag path that pointed to the same directory as the CFC. Neither worked. In fact, after removing those two items, CF is not giving a different error. I thought you could call a CFC, from the same directory, as another page without having to specify a path, setup a mapping or setup a custom tag path. Did this break in the Updater? Hi Mike, Not that I'm aware of... I'd be willing to bet that the problem you're having with the null pointer error is a result of this somewhere in your cfc: cfargument name=x required=false Null pointer errors happen a lot when a default is not specified for a cfargument tag. This to me is the most frustrating thing about the lack of nulls in recent versions of CF -- not that we can't use them in general (although that's frustrating) but that there is an _EXTREMELY_ common circumstance which causes them OFTEN and is neither intuitive nor well documented. If the error occurs while creating the object (before init) I would bet that it calls method in the soft-constructor which doesn't provide a not-required argument with no default value -- and then of course attempts to use that undefined argument which results in the null pointer error. 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 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234688 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: XML/XSL newbie question
OK, Issac, that makes a little more sense. I'm going to re-read the whole thing again right now, but if you have that example you were referring to, I'd love to see it. Seeing other's examples in conjunction with the info you just gave should clear this all up. You can send it offline to my CrystalVision account. Thanks for the explanation. S. Isaac Dealey wrote: Any ideas on how to properly do this? I'm an XML noob, so I'm sure there is a function or two I'm missing here. Couple of pointers: 1) When creating XML nodes with XmlElemNew, it's unnecessary to use XMLFormat() to format either text nodes appended to the node array or to attributes added to the XmlAttributes collection. So if you're using functions to build your doc and using XMLFormat() to format your nodes: stop. :) 2) With prior versions of CF (6.0 and possibly 6.1) the XML engine by default didn't understand the apos; entity (which is used in XmlFormat() to replace apostrophes). Although for the majority of XML packets, the apos; entity is unnecessary (because the doc uses double-quotes for its attributes). Thus with these versions of CF, using XmlFormat() on a value with an apostrophe in it can actually _create_ an error that wouldn't otherwise occur. You can get around this by either adding the entity to the XML doc or by wrapping XmlFormat() with another function to replace the apos; entities with #39; (oddly enough, I had a similar problem with JSStringFormat() being broken -- although I believe they've fixed the XmlFormat() issue with CF7). 3) When a string goes into an XML doc as an attribute or a text node, it comes out exactly the way it went in. So if you add she said this it will come out as she said this or if you add she said quot;thisquot; it will come out as she said quot;thisquot; -- I know, seems obvious -- but the nuance may be what's troubling you. Because you don't need to use XmlFormat() when building elements with XmlElemNew(), if you then add a text node with XmlFormat() it will go in with the extra and ; characters, so when the XML packet is serialized (to a string) it will become amp;lt;pamp;gt;some stuffamp;lt;/pamp;gt; which will then come back out of the packet as: lt;pgt;some stufflt;/pgt; instead of coming out as psome stuff/p So it may be that just removing XmlFormat() will solve your issue. On the flip side, I generally find it easier to creat XML packets either with cfxml or cfsavecontent (which is more efficient if you're creating a packet for someone else because there's less overhead to create the string because CF doesn't automatically parse the XML). If you decide to use either of these, then you do need to use XmlFormat() when ouputting variables within your cfsavecontent or cfxml tags.
