Re: Fusion Reactor issues
Hello Rick, Actually ColdFusion is running within a FusionReactor container, so even when CF is overloaded you should still be able to access FR. It was designed this way. What URL are you using to access FR? Over a normal URL your webserver (IIS?) could become unresponsive when CF starts to clog up. This is why FusionReactor runs it's own backup web server, so you can always access it as long as your JAVA RUNTIME is still alive (which in this case it is). By default the FR Webserver is on port 8088, so your URL should look like this: http://your.machineName.com:8088/fusionreactor/fhtml.cfm?mode=login I also recommend setting up crash protection to limit the number of simultanious requests, requests which run for too long or use too much memory. This will help your server stay responsive. For more information on how to configure FR please take a look at: http://www.fusion-reactor.com/support.html I hope that helps! If you need more detailed information you could always email the FR support guys at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Andreas FusionReactor Sales Team === ORIGINAL MESSAGE === Maureen Barger wrote: Can you: -adjust your jvm memory settings so you have more available memory for CF? -adjust your FR settings so it doesn't kill threads, or at least allow more threads until it starts killing them off? Raise the level of the rivers, and the rocks won't be noticeable. Unfortunately FR is within the CF container, so if CF is unresponsive, FR will be too. :( Okay, however, once CF becomes responsive again, how do I get Fusion Reactor to reconnect to my instance? It seems that the only way to do so is to restart Coldfusion, which is undesirable.

I'm now just as dedicated to not using as you are too using it :-) I am not attached to use DW as it may seems. If you read the comments I posted along the years (including this thread) you can see by yourself. I currently use a mix of DW, Homesite and CFEclipse to write CFML, I think they are all missing in different areas. I actually think that the number one issue CF developers are facing is the lack of a state of the art IDE. Something equivalent to Visual Studio for ..NET, Zend Studio for PHP, IntellJ or Eclipse for Java. CFEclipse could have the potential to be that kind of tool but, in my own opinion, it's not there yet. 2) It's too much hassle to download and install it in WINE or VMWare 3) The 'specific tag' option does more than finding by tag name ?

Re: setting info in an application
I have a directory without an application file where there is Why not just write out to a 'includethistext.txt' file on the protected form's action, ideally outside the webroot, but if all you need is protection you can do it in the protected directory. Then on the unprotected form, read that file in using CFFILE from the location that you know you wrote it out to and then display it on the unprotected form. That way, if the application goes down, when it comes back up, it still has the file to read from. I feel I'm missing something in your explanation though. No, I don't think that you're missing anything. I was thinking of includes and application variables and hadn't used cfFile in quite a while so I didn't think of it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just write out a .cfm so that I can easily include it and that can designate multiple variables instead of 1 piece of text. I find it talking over the project that there's probably 3 pieces of text. thank you. daniel ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252959 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I've found that the best way is to do two commands: DBCC CHECKIDENT (authors, RESEED, 0) DBCC CHECKIDENT (authors, RESEED) The first sets the auto-increment number to zero (then it counts up till it finds an open number), and the second moves the auto-increment beyond the largest existing value.

In short if the events are important to the application, its central part, do the normalized approach.

I think there are (at least) two ways of doing it: 1. Have a master event table that captures all the information that is common to all events and then have other tables that capture information that is specifically to each category linked to the master table. 2. Use just one table to capture all the information needed for all types of events. Not sure which one will be the best approach from a point of view of speed and maintenance. In the first case I will need a joint between the tables to retrieve all the info about an event, but has the advantage that if a new event type is required I can add it without modifying the existing code. In the second case no joint, so easier retrieval but maybe a little bit more involved if I need to expend it. Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks Victor PS Platform will be CFMX 7.x, MS-SQL 2005 and I estimate about 5k events per year with about 45-50 columns if using just one table ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252976 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

The sample apps are good for this. Any official documentation is on the respective websites for Model Glue (http://model-glue.com/) and Mach II (http://www.mach-ii.com/). Docs are also included in the download. Join the lists for each if you have questions and to follow developments. Sean Corfield has sample apps in both. So does Brian Kotek. Matt Woodward and Peter Farrell are the guys for Mach II. Go to their blogs and filter by category. Also see MachBlog.org for full blown blog built in MachII. Probably the best tutorial to get you going in Model Glue is Raymond Camden's. This is a pre-Unity tutorial, but I would actually recommend first learning the pre-Unity version. That way you are focused only on the MG framework. Then learn ColdSpring and Reactor. Then see how Joe Rinehart took the three and created Unity. FYI - Mach II also plays well with ColdSpring and Reactor. The Mach II guys have decided not to incorporate those directly into that framework, but to do so yourself is quite easy. Brian has his sample bookstore app in this. I can't remember if Sean did M2/CS/Reactor or not.

Re: Framework
If I may take a brief break from the admittedly well-deserved praise for MG:U and discuss why I am choosing not to use it. I was using MG 1.1 but I have decided to switch to Mach ii because I, personally, am not fond of the integrated MG:U/Reactor. I know you can use MG without Reactor, but that doesn't seem to be the focus of it (and I know I have seen posts mentioning that Reactor can impact your load times unless you specifically disable it in MG:U). I have on my blog expressed my dislike of three things that you need to consider when choosing MG:U (some of which specifically relate to the Reactor integration). One is the active record pattern, which Reactor uses. I think the active record pattern reduces the flexibility of your application - I always use the example that if you decide that Reactor is too much of a drag on your site's performance, you will have a hell of a time ripping it out or trying to recreate aspects of it. I also am not fond of scaffolds, as I think in most cases they aren't very useful - however they are totally optional I suppose so I am not going to make a big fuss about them. Lastly, I just don't think Reactor is there yet. It is a great concept that Doug has put a lot of work into, but it seems to me that enormous scope and complexity has caused it to be error plagued. I am on the list and I often feel inundated with Reactor issues. Personally, I have chosen to move to Mach ii. I believe it is a solid framework and isn't all that different from straight MG (i.e. like the 1.1days) - mostly some verb changes. I like that it wants to be a solid framework and only that. If you want added functionality, there are a number of plugins available from the community (and some pre-packaged but not pre-loaded). I am also finding it is not as complex as it is portrayed - I compare it to driving stick while MG:U is automatic. I prefer stick...I like the fine tuned control it gives you. Anyway, as this post is full of MG:U fans, I am not ripping on MG:U or trying to start some framework flame war. I just think that you need to get past the hype a bit when choosing a framework. This may mean that you still choose MG:U, but it is worth considering the alternatives (Mach ii, Fusebox and ColdBox). -- - Brian Rinaldi blog - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog CF Open Source List - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist Boston CFUG - http://www.bostoncfug.org ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252980 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Odd installation issue
That has been my experience every other time too. This is the first time I've ever had any issue with installation and that's a LOT of installations! I'll try disabling everything else that's running on the box that I can disable and see if I can get it to go past that step. The strangest thing is that it serves CF pages just fine; it's just the admin that I can't get into. Surely there should be a method for making an end-run around that bit and configuring anything that it missed by hand? I was hoping I'd get someone post who had this exact same problem last week and fixed it by doing x. No such luck though, huh?

In CFCs, the variables scope is global, meaning that any method of the CFC (and any sub-classes, by the way), has access to its value. If you want a truly local variable for a method, use the var setting, as noted above.

Re: CFC question
Syntax like that is usually used within an init() method to set a passed
variable to the CFCs global variable scope to be used by other methods. When
a CFC is cached or called outside of a one shot invoke, this is a must to
prevent having to pass the variable in again and again.
For example, someone would do the following:
CFSET objectreference=Createobject('component',
'testobject').init('datasourcename')
CFSET objectreference.getuser(userid)
In the second line, there is no need to send in the datasource name as it
was sent in when the object was created.
Hi,
I have seen in a number of examples the following:
cfset variables.myVar = arguments.someArg /

variable inside a cfc function instead of using it directly?

For the webserver to capture it, I think it would have to be sent with an HTTP request (e.g. as a CGI variable) which I don't think it is.

Re: Framework
To add my 2c, Denny, Reactor isn't really a framework. It is a way to automate the persistence of objects. In OO programming, you often create DAOs and Gateways (data access objects and table data gateways) to abstract your database access code for single records and recordsets. Firstly, I have some issues with the idea of Gateays returning queries, but that is neither here nor there. Reactor just auto creates those. You probably want to create a set of service objects (one per object - singletons created using a factory or ColdSpring if you want to be fancy!) for doing all of the business logic and the business objects themselves will often have logic (Product.getPrice() may calculate price based on your discounts or whatever). Then you need a controller which you can write yourself or use Model Glue (classic - not Unity!) or Mach -II for. If you are only getting started with OO, I'd thorough recommend checkout out all of the great blog postings on OO programming and would start there. I think it's quite a leap from procedural CF straight to MG Unity, and if yu had to jump straight to a framework, I'd consider mach-ii or Model Glue without Reactor and ColdSpring. ColdSpring solves a real probvlem, but have the problem first and then enjoy the relief i provides. Reactor also speeds development, but I don't think you'll fully understand the trade offs until you've written a few DAOs and agonized over where to put the code for joined objects (how you you get all of the Users in a Company - CompanyService.getUsers()? and if so, what DAO does it call - CompanyDAO or UserDAO). Once you've played with that for a while, you'll be able to choose between Reactor, Transfer (which is looking very interesting - Mark keep up the great work and the shameless plugs!), cfhibernate, or rolling your own ORM.

RE: Linux webserver
Executables are usually not a problem... although if they are around and they have security holes... In general, unless you're using linux as a desktop, I've never found a need for X-Windows. Most programs need to be installed from the command line anyway. Servers run a lot more stable and faster without any sort of GUI present. This is one of the reasons that linux beats the pants off of windows. Webmin is more then enough and plesk makes things too easy for my taste. Plesk also doesn't give you as much control as webmin does. You should probably get a semi-dedicated box to play around with, get it with webmin if possible (if not the installation if fairly simple as far as I remember). Then start playing around with it through ssh, and learn the commands. Maybe pick up a linux book somewhere. My favorite flavor is Redhat, but I haven't really played around with other flavors, so perhaps someone can chime in here.

Re: CFC question
The variables scope, when used within a CFC, is a protected private scope (only accessible from within the CFC). Within the head of your object (after the cfcomponent tag, but prior to any functions) you may have a block like this: cfscript variables.instance = structnew(); variables.instance.firstname = ; variables.instance.lastname = ; variables.instance.age = 0; /cfscript Then you might have an init method like this: cffunction name=init access=public output=false returntype=person hint=This initializes your person object cfreturn this /cffunction You would then get or set the properties of your object using getter and setter methods, which can access the private variables scope: cffunction name=setFirstName access=public output=false returntype=void hint=Sets the firstname property of this instance cfargument name=firstname type=string required=true hint=firstname to set in this instance of person cfset variables.instance.firstname = arguments.firstname /cffunction cffunction name=getFirstName access=public output=false returntype=string hint=Returns the firstname of this person instance cfreturn variables.instance.firstname /cffunction So, within your calling template you might have: cfset variables.personObj = createobject(component,person).init() After which, the following attempt to access it's properties would fail/error: #variables.personObj.firstname# But using this would give you access: #variables.personObj.getFirstName()# Hope this helps:) Cutter _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Victor Moore wrote: Hi, I have seen in a number of examples the following: cfset variables.myVar = arguments.someArg / any particular reason/advantage why the arguments are assigned to a local variable inside a cfc function instead of using it directly?

Re: XML Integration - ASP equivalent in CF
-Original Message- You would definitely add another cfhttpparam - each param equates to a single form field (POST parameter). Also in this case you can drop the cfoutput tags - CFOUTPUT is limited strictly to outputting CFML expressions outside of other tags - never within them. Lastly your original ASP code sends the information as a plain query string so I would think that CF should as well. The CFHTTPPARM type value xml has a very special meaning - it changes the whole request in fact. Instead use the type formfield. This will automatically URLEncode the information (which is what the ASP code is doing). Here's an (untested, obviously) shot at what you need: cfhttpurl=https://secure.internetsecure.com/process.cgi; method=post cfhttpparamname=xxxRequestData type=formField value=#xmlStr# cfhttpparamname= xxxRequestMode type=formField value=X /cfhttp Hope this helps.

Re: Boolean use of Recordcount
i've been told (by someone much smarter than me) -not- to use implicit boolean conversion. yes, in CF cfif recordcount/cfif will work (where 0 evaluates to false and any other number evaluates to true)...but what you really mean is: cfif recordcount GT 0/cfif you're looking to see if the recordcount is greater than a specific number. now, to be perfectly blunt, i can't tell you if it's for performance reasons or just good practice...but the person who told me this was Sean Corfield, and he's just got a -tad- more experience than I do when it comes to programming...so I tend to trust what he says (except i'm not falling for that pull my finger thing again). bottom line is, according to what I consider to be a reputable source...avoid implicit boolean conversion.

Re: Framework
To sound off here, All of the points above are very valid. I've used Mach-II pretty heavily now for a while and MG:U to varying degrees and I really see where the frameworks add value. All three Front Controller frameworks ( Model Glue, MachII and Fusebox) are quite solid and are worth learning. I am decidedly framework agnostic. I choose to use a framework now even if I am the only developer on a small app. While frameworks sort of 'force' certain solutions to problems, this is actually a feature, not a bug and is quite nice when making enhancements or bug-fixes to your application later on. As mentioned above, some of the frameworks offer different features, but all of them will help organize your code in an easy to understand manner. To Peters point, some of the problems solved by the frameworks ( M2, MG, CS, Reactor, Transfer, Etc) are indeed not completely obvious before you have taken the plunge into OO ColdFusion. Dependency resolution ( by ColdSpring) doesn't seem to be a major pain until your app has some complexity around it. When you do run into dependency problems, ColdSpring is a godsend. Same with the ORMs ( a la Reactor / Transfer ) . Pulling and Persisting information in a database is a vital application task. It is a problem that has been solved in various degrees by the ORM tools and helps get on with the meat of the application, the rules and other important logic. Give Transfer and Reactor a shot. Each has a nice blog sample application to toy with. You can immediately see the benefits of using an ORM in your application. Being a coder who had your very same questions at one point, let me offer a few suggestions (gained from my blood sweat and tears ): 1) Get familiar with http://www.fullasagoog.com/index.cfm?blogcat=ColdFusionMX There is a wealth of very important information catalogued there. 2) Get familiar with www.google.com. If you run into a sticky problem whilst learning, you can be assured someone else ran into it also and there is probably a blog post or two about it somewhere. 3) Download sample apps and customize the mess out of them. You will break and fix plenty of things and this really accelerates the learning process. I definately learn more from looking at others' code than I do my own. 4) Yes, it does seem like you are writing a ton more code. This will prove its value soon enough.

Re: Framework
I know you can use MG without Reactor, but that doesn't seem to be the focus of it I think it's a bit short-sighted to drop MG just because it has added some optional components you don't like... If you don't have Reactor installed, MG starts up without it and scaffolding and GDMs (Generic Data Messages) are simply disabled. No big issue. You get Model-Glue 1.1 compatibility with the added option of using ColdSpring for configuration. The only difference is that ColdSpring is required to run MG:U - but you, yourself, don't have to use it. One is the active record pattern, which Reactor uses. I think the active record pattern reduces the flexibility of your application I agree to some extent. However, I have built some apps where I have a data tier that hides the Active Record pattern and that works well, decoupling the business model from the persistence tier (which is a good practice anyway). I always use the example that if you decide that Reactor is too much of a drag on your site's performance, you will have a hell of a time ripping it out or trying to recreate aspects of it. Not if you've designed your application properly. I just switched most of my persistence layer from Reactor to Transfer with very few code changes. My business tier dealt with beans (which Active Records are) and my data tier dealt with persistence so the changes were fairly localized. I even have a prototype TransferAdapter for MG:U so I actually have basic scaffolding and all the GDM machinery working with Transfer (with the exception of the gatewayMethod extension to MG:U that was added recently). I also am not fond of scaffolds, as I think in most cases they aren't very useful - however they are totally optional I suppose so I am not going to make a big fuss about them. I've found them useful for quick'n'dirty prototypes and then I typically fold the Scaffolds.xml file into the main ModelGlue.xml file and copy the generated views into my main view directory and work from there. It saves me writing some otherwise tedious event handling logic and basic display / list / edit form stuff. Lastly, I just don't think Reactor is there yet. Since it's only at a beta candidate, I think that's only to be expected. Transfer is a 0.5 version release. MG:U itself is only a beta product. ColdSpring is the only 1.0 portion of it. If using pre-release software is an issue, then definitely MG 1.1 and ColdSpring 1.0 is a great, solid combination. However, since Reactor is totally optional for MG:U, I don't think this should be a reason to abandon Model-Glue. It is a great concept that Doug has put a lot of work into, but it seems to me that enormous scope and complexity has caused it to be error plagued. I am on the list and I often feel inundated with Reactor issues. ORMs *are* complex. Look at Hibernate. I think the volume of traffic on the Reactor list is a testament to just how many people are using it for real projects. And, for the most part, they are actually *succeeding* with Reactor. Personally, I have chosen to move to Mach ii. I believe it is a solid framework and isn't all that different from straight MG (i.e. like the 1.1days) - mostly some verb changes. I think there are some really problematic constructs in Mach II that make it harder for people to learn than MG 1.1 but I will also agree that it is a very solid framework. I introduced it to macromedia.com and it now powers about a quarter of the applications on the site (now adobe.com). I switched to MG 1.x to take advantage of ChiliBeans initially because ColdSpring did not seem approachable. Then I went to MG 1.x + ColdSpring. Whilst I could have then moved to Mach II + ColdSpring via the plugin, I found that I didn't like the complexities of the Mach II architecture (listeners *and* filters *and* plugins) compared to the simplicity and consistency of the Model-Glue architecture. I also no longer like the way that Mach II allows you to intermix calls to the model with view rendering and invocations of filters etc... I think it leads to messy event handlers. I also no longer like the way that listener methods are tied directly into the event handlers - Model-Glue's implicit invocation is much cleaner with multiple listeners registered for a given message broadcast. Anyway, as this post is full of MG:U fans, I am not ripping on MG:U or trying to start some framework flame war. I just think that you need to get past the hype a bit when choosing a framework. This may mean that you still choose MG:U, but it is worth considering the alternatives (Mach ii, Fusebox and ColdBox). Again, agreed. I don't know much about ColdBox (reading the initial blurb about it just confused me so I put it down - if I find time, I'll definitely go back and look at it again). Fusebox is a good framework for established CFers who aren't yet familiar with frameworks but may be a bit alien for someone coming to CF from VB.NET (which I seem to

Re: Boolean use of Recordcount
Also, be cognitive that ColdFusion converts the words yes and no into boolean equivalent 1 and 0. For code legibility and maintainability, I would agree with Sean C. on this point of not using implicit boolean conversion. cfif query.recordcount logically will mean true for any returned records or false for 0 records returned. This is kind of inferred logic makes sense to a ColdFusion developer. ColdFusion converts the variables to a number and then applies boolean logic against the 0 or non 0 number. Now a more dfinitive result would be to to have cfif query.recordcount gt 0 and this is just comparing 0 or non 0 against a great than statement. You are not coverting anything here other than comapring two numbers that are of the same data type. I would probably even go as far that non-implicit logic would make ColdFusion's short-circuit boolean expressions quicker.

To be more exact: any *non zero* integer evaluates as true in a Boolean expression. although recordcount here cannot be negative. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: CFC question
Another reason to use the variables scope outside of a method like init() would be when you extend a CFC from another CFC. The variables defined in the variables scope will act like a psuedo constructor if you are not calling that CFC via a cfinvoke, cfobject ...etc. It provides a little flexibility on how the CFC can be consumed. Teddy On 9/13/06, Cutter (CFRelated) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The variables scope, when used within a CFC, is a protected private scope (only accessible from within the CFC). Within the head of your object (after the cfcomponent tag, but prior to any functions) you may have a block like this: cfscript variables.instance = structnew(); variables.instance.firstname = ; variables.instance.lastname = ; variables.instance.age = 0; /cfscript Then you might have an init method like this: cffunction name=init access=public output=false returntype=person hint=This initializes your person object cfreturn this /cffunction You would then get or set the properties of your object using getter and setter methods, which can access the private variables scope: cffunction name=setFirstName access=public output=false returntype=void hint=Sets the firstname property of this instance cfargument name=firstname type=string required=true hint=firstname to set in this instance of person cfset variables.instance.firstname = arguments.firstname /cffunction cffunction name=getFirstName access=public output=false returntype=string hint=Returns the firstname of this person instance cfreturn variables.instance.firstname /cffunction So, within your calling template you might have: cfset variables.personObj = createobject(component,person).init() After which, the following attempt to access it's properties would fail/error: #variables.personObj.firstname# But using this would give you access: #variables.personObj.getFirstName()# Hope this helps:) Cutter _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Victor Moore wrote: Hi, I have seen in a number of examples the following: cfset variables.myVar = arguments.someArg / any particular reason/advantage why the arguments are assigned to a local variable inside a cfc function instead of using it directly?
