CF Formatter needed
Hi, I'm looking for a free/open source CF code formatter. Currently I use the Eclipse CF plugin as IDE which does not support it (Ctrl-Shift-F would have been nice). Is there anything out there?

Re: CF Formatter needed
Can you explain what you want it to do, code reformating in my eyes is very buggy at best and is one of things I extremely hated about DW. There was one template that was based on the fact that it formated the coplor of rows and used the if mod 2 style, and everytime I opend that I was forever rewritten the code back to what it should be. But I do not see why people want this functionality either, but hey thats me I would never use it so don't see the advantages, just know of the disadvantages.

Re: SOT: Javascript undo multi-select list function
Ok I think I have come up with a better solution, on the way home in the traffic jam, it seems simple so I think it will work. Basically to store a snapshot of the select list in an array element each time before an action is made. For instance user clicks add new element to select list, function add is called, a snapshot of the current data is appended to end of an array then the add funciton is run. Clicking undo just clears the select list and then re-populates with the last array element data then removes it from the array. I guess this is the standard way to do an undo, take a snapshot of the state of the element to be undone, I am thinking an image undo might work like this though I don't know. Anyone see any flaws in my idea? Thanks for reading. ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

Re: User Authentication
Hmmm, Just seems strange I just had to implement this the last few days too. Now there maybe a better way but this is how it folded out based on the requiements of my application. The first problem I faced was that a user could only be signed in once. So the only way I cold see this and with other requirements was to hold a collection of user objects. The user object just holds all the information I need, so in a sense its a userService (is that right, or would user object surfice) anway. In that object it also holds the users roles, and permissions. Now to encapsulate that I have a userFactory, that returns the, finds or checks if the user is logged in etc. And basically is the front line to the user object. But I still have the oppurtunity to modify my approach too, so I can take more suggesations here as well.

Re: CF Formatter needed
Can you explain what you want it to do... Well at least it should take care of a proper indention so that code is (more) readable. I have some old code here that I have to understand. It is rather spaghetti and people did indent their cfifs and cfelse and HTML tags in different styles, using tabs, 0 to 8 blanks, etc. You can not grasp the control flow without reformatting (manually) first. Personally I think a 'clean' looking code is the first thing to pursue in any language (which does not prevent bugs of course). It should be done with the support of the IDE. I think the Eclipse code formatter for Java is excellent. I use it frequently and it never spoiled my code. I hope to find something like that for CF.

Re: File Size
It still depnds ont the web server too, it is no good for the scripting application server saying one thing and the Web server saying something different. Which is why, the things that have been mentioned like HD space and ram is also important. Before it hits CF the web server has to have it too, and that dependant on how they handle it.

RE: User Authentication
Morning Andrew, Glad I'm not the only one that's been working along similar lines with this one. I essentially work with the same method as you, I have a bunch of user objects which manage the profiles, credentials and roles, then in effect I have my user 'factory', although its not a factory in the strictest term as it doesn't actually generate the other beans, that is handled by coldspring for me, but it does give me a tidy point of contact for the thing, so you're right that you could probably classify this as a user 'service'. If you have any ideas I would be keen to hear them. Especially on the more security oriented elements like protection again session hijacking and thing, which I know a little about, but not enough that I'm comfortable.

Hash Algorithems
Hello Guys, For a while I've been wondering about the HASH() function and the different algorithms available on it, the cfdocs list the following. .. CFMX_COMPAT: Generates a hash string identical to that generated by ColdFusion MX and ColdFusion MX 6.1 (default). .. MD5: (Default) Generates a 32-character, hexadecimal string, using the MD5 algorithm (The algorithm used in ColdFusion MX and prior releases). .. SHA: Generates a 28-character string using the Secure Hash Standard SHA-1 algorithm specified by Nation Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-180-2. .. SHA-256: Generates a 44-character string using the SHA-256 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2. .. SHA-384: Generates a 64-character string using the SHA-384 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2. .. SHA-512: Generates an 88-character string using the SHA-1 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2. Presumably they become more complex, and therefore more secure from top to bottom, so why would you not specify the SHA-512 on all hash encryption you do, I know that hash is generally regarded as a one way encryption so why do they do different levels?

RE: improved js for form validation?
I'm not so sure I agree that it does benefit the user experience, Perhaps for some of the more complex validations, but generally when I click the 'submit' button and I get a horrible windows style 'BP!!!' and a notice window that I've missed out my name I find it to be a little offensive more than helpful. With the server side validation you can have it pass the user back to the form with subtle highlights and suggestions as to where they missed a few things, far more pleasant, far more informative. I've never really seen client side validation to be beneficial as it takes all the additional time to code and test, and then you have to consider that over 20% or browsers have JS disabled and wouldn't be able to take advantage anyway, so you're probably going to kiss good bye to the accessibility of your site. The studies run about the drop in JavaScript support by users seemed to find the core reason for disabling it was down to it being an annoyance rather than any form of benefit. Server side is accessible, quick and easy to maintain and develop, and is totally secure as its not reliant on the client to support it, it serves all purposes, I've always seen JavaScript validation to be solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Re: improved js for form validation?
I'm not so sure I agree that it does benefit the user experience, Perhaps for some of the more complex validations, but generally when I click the 'submit' button and I get a horrible windows style 'BP!!!' and a notice window that I've missed out my name I find it to be a little offensive more than helpful. There are better options that 'BP!!!' :-) Something like this is, in my opinion, does benefit the user experience: http://www.massimocorner.com/validator/samples/custom_error.htm Of course, it's just a matter of opinions. With the server side validation you can have it pass the user back to the form with subtle highlights and suggestions as to where they missed a few things, far more pleasant, far more informative. See above, you can do the same client-side, without reloading the page. I've never really seen client side validation to be beneficial as it takes all the additional time to code and test, It's, again, a matter of opinions. I developed a dedicated library just for that. I write the code just once and it implements validation both on the client and server-side. The client-side library is available for download, the server-side is not (not yet at least) and then you have to consider that over 20% or browsers have JS disabled and wouldn't be able to take advantage anyway, so you're probably going to kiss good bye to the accessibility of your site. 20%??? Come on, even the most anti-JS zealots will never agree on this number :-))) BTW Any serious stat that consider the percentage of JS disabled should exclude search engine robots, I haven't seen one that does. so you're probably going to kiss good bye to the accessibility of your site. Again, on public facing websites I use both. Server side is accessible, quick and easy to maintain and develop, and is totally secure as its not reliant on the client to support it, it serves all purposes, I've always seen JavaScript validation to be solving a problem that doesn't exist. We just disagree on this. It's fine for me.

RE: bad cfc practice but why?
Doug is right, the idea is that you keep your logic and presentation separate.

Re: bad cfc practice but why?
This is not a rule of CFCs, just a 'suggestion' from some of the people using them. There logic is to separate the logic of an application from its presentation. This allows for easy change of the presentation without touching the logic. The argument is logical, but not necessarily the rule. I ignore it when logic dictates that it should be ignored. For example, I have a single comment component that has all of the code and display to handle a comment. I see no reason to have the display in another template and if someone else was using the component and wanted a different display, they could just inherit my component and change the display method. But that might be considered bad OOP, which is an argument I also ignore when logic dictates. If you find that you have a reason to include display in the same component as logic, pay particular attention to the output attribute and what it does. Thing is I know I'm not supposed to put any presentation stuff in them. But say for example I had a poll cfc. I can run all of the actions through the CFC fine, but why not add some optional basic html (i.e. form results) so that if wanted, the whole poll could be encapsulated within the one file and in theory could be added to any site with just a couple of lines of code.

Re: bad cfc practice but why?
I remember, way back in the day, building my first e-comm application for a client. I used an open source javascript cart called Nopcart. It was fairly easy to implement and adjust, and part of the beauty of it was the ability to place a small line of code [showCart()] on any page and it laid everything out for me. I included it's .js file in dozens of sites, dropped in my method where I need it, and there she was. I am a firm believer in OO principals, separating the view from the logic and data manipulation, but there are times where it can and does make sense. Paul's suggestion is how I would handle it, use cfsavecontent and return the display as a string: i.e. myPollObj.showResults(). I personally would have these types of functions at the bottom of a CFC, grouped together, so that anytime you have to make adjustments they are always in the same place. Or, possibly, a collection of CFC's. Bean/DAO/Gateway objects, service layer, display layer type set up. Document your code well, scope your vars, and have fun with it. No one way is the right way, and every new challenge is a learning experience.

RE: CF Report Builder
While on the subject of report builder, how can you do conditional queries?
For example on a cfm template I could use the following...
cfquery
SELECT *
FROM aTable
cfif isDefined('url.someVar')
WHERE someID = #url.somevar#
/cfif
ORDER BY someID
/cfquery
However this is not possible in report builder so I currently use two
separate cfr files. Is there an alternative to this?

Re: bad cfc practice but why?
One thing to keep in mind is that best practice is not always that. Best practice is not a one size fits all type thing. Use what works for your application. If you happen to need to break out of what has been deemed best practice than so be it. I recently built an app that is all built on CFCs and a lot of them contain presentation code. This is because the presentation was reused for different sections of the site. --Dave www.dkferguson.com/BlogCFC Richard If that is what you are looking for, then what you are talking about would be a custom tag. CFC's are only available during the call to one of it's functions and cannot be cfincluded as a custom tag. There is nothing stopping you from using the old way of combining logic and presentation though in a regular cfm file.

Re: Smart Names implementation
Jake, You're getting into an area that has been wrestled with for years, and the true solutions are very, very complex. So your choices on implementation will depend on just far into the forest you want to go. Do a Google search on fuzzy name matching. You'll find links to academic white papers discussing types of algorithms that are used in some implementations. You'll also find a number of vendors selling specific software solutions to do this. Folks like the phone companies began working on this problem probably 30 years ago, for the directory software used by operators and others. I just looked into this subject for a client. In their case, we wrote some specific matching rules that fit their situation. We considered adding a nicknames table; but in their case, it seemed likely that most names in their database would have been entered as a person's full, formal name. We added soundex to the rules, and came up with our own ranking system for the matches. A word about SoundEx -- unless you keep the similarity factor set to return only very close matches, you'll get some incredibly bad attempts at matching. SoundEx would be more likely to catch typos, but would miss a lot of nickname variations. As I say, fuzzy name matching is a very large-scale software challenge that people have thrown millions of dollars at. You just have to determine what's practical for your needs. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

Re: bad cfc practice but why?
Paul, I've been doing the exact same thing... well, not with a shopping cart, so not *eaxctly*, but still... I've got a CFC that I call display.cfc. It's whole purpose in life is to generate screen layouts and return the HTML as a string to the calling page where I then display the content that was returned by the cfc. So I've got a shell file (index.cfm/htm) and it has a menu bar at the top (jdMenu for jQuery). Items on this menu bar generate different screens (a password change screen, a user add screen, a title loan worksheet, etc.). Each screen is a function in my display.cfc. I call the appropriate method using AjaxCFC, and the returned html is then displayed inside of my MainContent div. I also use the cfsavecontent method to collect all that html into a single variable. The result is that my app switches between these screens seamlessly without having to refresh the page. Meantime most of the hard work is done by ColdFusion. It's cool to see that I'm not the only one doing this sort of thing. :o) Chris Paul Vernon wrote: Thing is I know I'm not supposed to put any presentation stuff in them.

I think there are always exceptions to the rule on this, in our e-Commerce system, there are several places where I would want to render a shopping basket and I need to render it in both HTML and text only versions. If I were to do these sections of code outside of the CFC's then it would be a nightmare however, having a couple of functions in the basket CFC to renderHTMLBasket and renderTEXTBasket means that I have complete consistency across the site and I only have to bug fix/maintain a couple of functions. What those functions *don't* do is output any HTML or TEXT direct to the calling page, instead, I use cfsavecontent and return the generated content from the functions as a string. That way, I am still keeping the CFC's away from direct interaction with the pages but I am generating a small amount of content using those same CFC's.

RE: bad cfc practice but why?
I think Mike nailed it. People who say that CFC should not create html must also think that no class in java can create output, and that clearly won't fly (since java has nothing but classes). CFCs should have a single, clear purpose. If that purpose includes creating html than so be it. The OO property of encapsulation key; define your interfaces (the public functions) carefully and you'll be in a good place. These says I create Custom Tags less and less often. They are still useful, of course, and sometimes they are perfect for the problem at hand, but CFCs are so flexible and powerful that I use them for may tasks that I would had done with Custom Tags before. -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 6:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: bad cfc practice but why? This is not a rule of CFCs, just a 'suggestion' from some of the people using them. There logic is to separate the logic of an application from its presentation. This allows for easy change of the presentation without touching the logic. The argument is logical, but not necessarily the rule. I ignore it when logic dictates that it should be ignored. For example, I have a single comment component that has all of the code and display to handle a comment. I see no reason to have the display in another template and if someone else was using the component and wanted a different display, they could just inherit my component and change the display method. But that might be considered bad OOP, which is an argument I also ignore when logic dictates. If you find that you have a reason to include display in the same component as logic, pay particular attention to the output attribute and what it does.

than embed them.

SELECT *
FROM aTable
cfif isDefined('url.someVar')
WHERE someID = #url.somevar#
/cfif
ORDER BY someID
/cfquery
However this is not possible in report builder so I currently use two
separate cfr files. Is there an alternative to this?

RE: improved js for form validation?
First, thanks to everyone for responding. However, I never intended to start a flame war - the fact is I'm using JS and it's not working right. Specifically, I'm using CF's built in validation for ranges in a cfinput tag. The trouble I'm having is it's accepting a value of 1+. Technically, it contains a valid integer; however, the addition of the plus sign invalidates the value as an integer. I was really hoping to illicit commentary about the methods CF's JS routine uses to reach its decision. I don't want to use another JS validation system (unless I can find no other way), and I don't want to specially code my processing to deal with one special case. Does anyone know why CF's code would consider this valid? Has there been any attempts to improve the /CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js routines?

Automated Local Printing of Remote Report
Hello- I am wondering if anyone has come up with any ways of automatically printing (locally) a remote cfreport or pdf file. I'd like to print off some customer letters every day at 9am without human intervention, and in a robust sort of way. I am sure I haven't thought of everything, but so far, the best I could do is to automate and ftp download of the report as a PDF and then use acrobat reader's command line print options to print it. I also thought of using a macro generator that memorizes keystrokes, but I've always thought that those were a little bit quirky. Thank you for any other ideas. ps- I think it would be great if Adobe expanded the CFReport Builder with some sort of scheduler for opening and printing remote cfreports. - Now that's room service!

Passing params to CFREPORT
I have no problems using the CFREPORTPARAM tags to pass variables into my CFREPORTS, but I want to know if there is a special scope for these paramaters. In a nutshell, I'm trying to write a generic CFML wrapper for report calls. I want to loop through the FORM structure (which might contain any number of paramaters) and pass this entire structure into the report instead of using (report specific) individual CFREPORTPARAM tags.

Re: improved js for form validation?
Oblio, A lot of people on this list don't like cfforms for just the reason you are stating - there are flaws in the js such as the one you've discovered. I did some testing and found that 1$ will also slip through, as well as 1, (one with a comma). This is why people are saying to try another validation scheme. All you can do is hope the js validations are better in CF8, and get cracking with Massimo's validation, qForms or whatever. -- Josh - Original Message - From: Leitch, Oblio [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 8:45 AM Subject: RE: improved js for form validation?

Re: Passing params to CFREPORT
I don't think there is a report parameter collection that you could pass the form structure into, like you can with a cfc function call. But, you could loop through your form scope, and add a cfreportparam for each parameter you found there. Your form element names could be such that you get the fact that it's a report param and the name of the param from the name of the form element, and then, of course, the value from the value of the form element. I've made names of elements lists using the bar character, for instance, then look at the first list element from the form element name for a particular pattern, and get the name of the param from the second list element from the form element name.

Re: CF Formatter needed
You must have used an old version of Dreamweaver. I use DW and the code sweeper is great. It never re-writes code, i have never had a syntax error after running the sweeper over it. And the style sweeper is configurable. You can tell it where you want new lines where you want indentation and where you dont. Now i am always working in nicely laid out code, that's much easier to find my way around. It's nice to be able to take someone else's code, hit it with the sweeper, and then be working in code laid out how I'm used to. It helps speed up the dev work, and the end result is a much more consistent page of code. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month On 3/8/07, Andrew Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can you explain what you want it to do, code reformating in my eyes is very buggy at best and is one of things I extremely hated about DW.

Re: Hash Algorithems
MD5 is an older standard. I don't remember what it stands for. It is still widely used for signing things like software downloads (look for it where you download Linux CDs or on Sourceforge). It is not secure the same way the lock on my door isn't secure -- it's defeatable, but it's a good deterrent. IMHO, secure enough for pretty much every application you're likely to come across. SHA stands for secure hash algorithm. It was intended to be a secure replacement for MD5 and other hash algorithms. Flaws have been found since, but it is still more secure than MD5. The multiple string lengths allow for increasing levels of security. MD5 is, of course, really useful for portability and information exchange. I used it as a tool for verifying downloads on an app I wrote last year. SHA is what I would use for hashing passwords. I'd probably use the shortest version, since longer hashes require more processing time, and in most things I write, such high-level security isn't that important. --Ben Doom Robert Rawlins - Think Blue wrote: Hello Guys, For a while I've been wondering about the HASH() function and the different algorithms available on it, the cfdocs list the following. ..

Re: improved js for form validation?
I'm currently integrating Adobe's Spry form validation into most of my sites and its been wonderful so far. There's no need to have windows beeps as you call em when theres far more graceful notifications to the user that can be done. Also, providing client side validation is great for you and your client for a couple reasons outside of best practices. - if the customer is on a slow connection you've potentially saved them 2 page loads if you're action page redirects back etc vs a possibly cached script load up front that provides immediate feedback. I've seen customers who share a QoS'd T1 for their entire ... off-shore ... hundreds of employees operations ... and you know what who do you think gets blamed for slow page loading from them? =\ - saves on bandwidth to some extent possibly (unless you gorge on js files -cough- prototype :D ) not having to make multiple round trips for the same data subset. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

RE: improved js for form validation?
Thanks, that was nice and direct. I actually tracked down the problem; it lies in the fact that the cfform.js *changes* the value before validating. I can't guess why they did this, but they strip spaces, dollar, pound, yen, euro, commas, tildas and plus signs before deciding that it's good. I'm not sure how you can call that validation. At least now I have a reason/explanation and I can make an argument for retro-fitting all the forms.

Oblio, A lot of people on this list don't like cfforms for just the reason you are stating - there are flaws in the js such as the one you've discovered. I did some testing and found that 1$ will also slip through, as well as 1, (one with a comma). This is why people are saying to try another validation scheme.

I can't guess why they did this, but they strip spaces, dollar, pound, yen, euro, commas, tildas and plus signs before deciding that it's good. I'm not sure how you can call that validation. If you type 1+ into the field, and submit to a database, does the 1+ get inserted into your database, or does 1 get inserted into the database? If it's 1, then I can see the logic behind what CF is doing there. It's helping you by stripping any extra garbage that might be associated with an integer (currency symbols etc.). As long as what's left after the garbage is stripped off validates ok, it will pass through. This relieves you of the need to do that stripping yourself. But this seems somewhat arbitrary, and could lead to unexpected results, so it's probably best not to rely on it. -- Josh ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

RE: CFCs and the THIS scope
Well, it seems to me that both forms are being handled by a new instance of
temp. update1 stores the value in that new instance, which is garbage
collected some time after the POST request terminates. update2 stores the
value in the prexisting instance which has been placed in the session scope,
which of course hangs around for future reference.

RE: Coldfusion Server Issues
What could cause cross-interference between sites? Some ideas: 1. Contention for shared resources e.g. you keep a file open somewhere, or each site has a logging thread that keeps a lock on some table. 2. An insidious one can be where you inadvertently use the same application name, so the two sites keep blowing away and reinitializing the shared scopes. 3. Mapping - you've got a mapping for one site that's a real directory in the other site. The mapping takes precedence, so you're executing code in the wrong context. 4. Memory overload - if you're loading a lot of data into shared scopes, the GC could be thrashing. I'd highly recommend a management tool like Fusion Reactor. The ability to look into the guts of a running thread can clear the fog in a microsecond.

RE: Validating with hidden form fields - how to use my own format ting for error messages?
I'm using CF's built-in form validation method that uses hidden form fields for validation (see http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/1385.htm#1154690) How do I apply my own formatting to those error messages? You can use the CFERROR tag to control the display of these errors. Set TYPE=VALIDATION, and within your error page you can reference Error.ValidationHeader, Error.InvalidFields (which will contain the unordered list of error messages), and Error.ValidationFooter. All that said, I would recommend against the use of CF's built-in server-side validation if you're using validation for security purposes, as the validation fields can easily be removed from the HTTP request sent by your browser.
