Re: Bad DSN causing CF to crash
Well, there are no doubt a few things to check here. Get them to check their disk space on the ColdFusion box and ensure the neo-query.xml file is not corrupt. Easiest way to tell us by loading it in IE, if it doesn't load, it's broken. Is the SQL Server 64-bit? The connection reset could be a network issue as well.

Client running CFMX7.02 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 with all updates. Connecting to MSSQL2000 database on separate shared db server. App is nothing particularly fancy, CF5-compliant with a couple of MX-specific uses of CFFORM and a couple of CFCs. For the last week or so, we've been getting progressively increasing numbers of errors saying connection reset when trying to make db calls. I posted about it here and got one response indicating a problem with drivers back on MX6.1. We decided to relocate the db to MSSQL2005 on the webserver and off of the shared environment, because the ISP was unwilling to try to fix the problem since it wasn't consistent. Yesterday, prior to moving the db (it was tentatively scheduled for last night), the db stopped responding. Or rather, what appeared to be the case was CF up and died. It would time and end conclude with a JRun Closed Connection error. Thinking that CF was hosed, I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled CF. We ended up doing this twice. Nothing worked. Get it back up, recreate the DSN to the shared server, and CF was dead again within a minute or two. Finally, I had an idea... I restarted the CF service and killed the DSN. I recreated it pointing to a copy of the database running on an entirely different server on my own personal network. Now the site ran just fine. So I started suspecting the shared db server. To test my theory, I copied the site's code to our development server at another ISP (this time a Linux box), and pointed it to the shared db server. CF immediately went down. Once more... I did the same thing on my home development machine. CF once again died. So I contacted the ISP and rather than try to explain this to them, I just asked that a backup copy of the db be put on the webserver, which they managed to do within an hour (wow!). I imported it into the local MSSQL2005 and setup the DSN... bingo! Everything was running again. What's odd is that you can talk to the shared db server using MS SQL Management Studio, with RDS, or even with SQL Explorer under Eclipse just fine. But try to get the CF application server to talk to it means certain death. I can't explain it, but everybody is relieved that things are good again. And we're avoiding that shared db server like the plague.

Re: CFQUERY vs SQL Server Stored Procedures
Indeed, I used to be in the camp of SPs were faster in ColdFusion but in most cases they are not. What we do now is use them where we actually need them - multiple recordsets for example. Also one of the major benefits is that they can be shared by our ColdFusion and .NET developers etc..

And they don't directly touch on performance. 1. A belief that keeping SQL code in the database is of itself a good thing. By keeping the database interaction in the database you make it easier for DBA's to do their job. Especially when a query goes awry, and your SQL server starts bombing. It's in my humble opinion easier to troubleshoot SQL problems on the SQL server when the actual SQL is present. Especially during a crisis. Now, if you're a one person development team, or all of your CF developers are also doing their own DBA work it might not make a whole lot of sense for this argument. However, having all of the SQL there allows you to more easily use SQL tuning tools, which can improve indexing, which can make either inline queries or stored procedures run faster. 2. It forces developers to concentrate on the database first, as that seems to be the hardest thing to change once an application gets past the planning stage. Granted this is just enforcing good programming practices (taking a good long look at the database in this case) through policy. But considering that the database side of things was causing the majority of our server problems, it was the right call. So... Someone who tells you that all stored procedures are faster than inline queries is wrong. Someone who tells you that all stored procedures are better, is probably wrong. Someone who tells you that stored procedures are better for their organization, group or specific problem might be right.

Specifically I am experimenting with the instance manager and such. So, one thing I never knew you could do was to have a web server (IIS) on one physical computer bound to a CF instance (or cluster) on another physical server. So, just to get this straight in my head how it would work: I would run the Web Server Configuration Tool on the web server and specify the DNS name or IP address of the application server where JRUN was installed and the CF application was deployed. I wouldn't even need to have CF installed on the web server-- but wait a minute-- the Web Server Configuration Tool is part of the CFMX install. Even if I wasn't going to run my CF application from that server, would I still have to install it just to use the Web Server Configuration Tool? Would I need a license for that install? Is there another way to bind my web server to my CF instance/cluster without using the Web Server Configuration Tool? Oh, ones of great knowledge, enlighten me. This is one of a few millions questions I have thought of and HAVEN'T answered after pouring through the livedocs.

Re: viviotech vps, non-admin linux newbie, rambling questions
My thoughts below: On 3/23/07, stylo stylo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thinking about a viviotech vps but I'm not an admin and never used linux. Wondering how hard it would be and what people are using there. I've searched and read the good feedback. It's either that or shared hosting somewhere like hostmysite/ct. I know there is a managed solution but wondering if I could toy with an unmanaged one and set it up slowly myself. Would like to hear from anyone but especially people who were in the same boat. This is essentially where I was, although to be fair I had basic Linux/UNIX experience when I started. The control panel lets you do most things without needing to know Linux and the support forum will help you do the rest. Rambling thoughts: Is a basic package with 256mb enough for Bluedragon and mysql4/5 on a not too busy niche commerce site? I thought much more memory would be needed. I added 256MB just to be sure (since it costs stuff all), but here's what top shows me right now: Mem: 524288k av, 107468k used, 416820k free So it's up to you. Don't forget you get a larger amount of swap space to go with that physical memory. Is the line fast enough? Seems good to me. Let me know: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ Find much difference between BD and cfmx on linux? (I know the tag differences.) Not much - the odd thing is different but all the important stuff works as you would expect. Are there problems monitoring BD in case it pegs the cpu? I know you can't use cfmx monitors. What do people do? (I also don't want to be tied to a computer 24hrs a day.) Big issue, small issue? You could set up a cron job to do this kind of thing with shell scripts. It could restart BD automatically etc. What sort of monitoring does viviotech do for you themselves? If something is obviously wrong with their hardware etc they get on it. You can ask Jordan for more details if you need to (I imagine he'll be responding here soon enough anyway). Is it a full-time job for you now monitoring the site yourself and jumping in to fix things all the time? BD had a hiccup once. Updating the system is as hard as typing yum update or using the control panel to do the same thing. How difficult was it to set up such an environment there with a couple extra very minor domains, ftp, email and such? Control Panel does this for you - fill in a form and click a button. Mysql backup has to be done manually? Do you also have to monitor mysql somehow? You could schedule this. MySQL hasn't broken so far. Do you install phpadmin to handle mysql, or something else? I'm not really a command-line guy. I use the MySQL Windows GUI tools - I've given a specific IP access to do this (via the control panel, btw). Navicat is good too. Did you have to become BD/mysql/apache gurus just in order to use them for the site, or left them as-is? I'm afraid I'd do this then find I'd never tweaked some obvious setting which was causing big problems. Nope, worked out of the box. What do you do to ensure security? You can set up firewall rules, schedule updates etc. It's set up quite securely by default. What were the biggest hurdles you faced going it alone? N/A - I haven't looked back. After the service I got at the old provider, I decided I'd do a better job. You can always ask for help on the forums if you get stuck and Jordan often helps for free (and of course you can pay for support if some simple advice is not going to cut it). -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.

RE: LDAP Anyone?
I second this. Remember, because CF is typeless, when it tries to write to output binary in the cfldap tage, it might be expecting a string, not binary. How they've chosen to output the attributes, I don't know, but that might cause it to fail. I would double (triple?) check that the data sent through LDAP is, in fact, binary or encoded (base64 or hex or uuencode, etc). I wouldn't use a tool to do that as it might be altering results. Rather, try a packet sniffer to see what the actual contents are. If it's encoded, your life will be easier. If not, then you're probably going to have to investigate some Java-based alternative. My experience: I wanted a way to compress data. Specifically, I thought there should be a way to feed data through a CF function and get a compressed result. Since there's nothing that does it natively, I turned to Java. Java has a native GZipDataStream - very slick. The trouble was getting the data from CF -- it could only come and go as a String. I ended up requiring it to be base64 encoded to and from, and decode it once it was inside Java. (now I have a tag that will compress a datastream without writing to disk. I use it for squashing wddx packets for storage in a database) I think it was the interface they've written for custom CFX that's the limiter. -Original Message- From: Dinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: LDAP Anyone?

You don't have to be a linux guru, but it's nice because if you want to 'customize' some aspects of your VPS (at some point), you have that freedom. That's 2 cents worth.

Rambling thoughts: Is a basic package with 256mb enough for Bluedragon and mysql4/5 on a not too busy niche commerce site? I thought much more memory would be needed. I added 256MB just to be sure (since it costs stuff all), but here's what top shows me right now: Mem: 524288k av, 107468k used, 416820k free So it's up to you. Don't forget you get a larger amount of swap space to go with that physical memory. Is the line fast enough? Seems good to me. Let me know: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ Find much difference between BD and cfmx on linux? (I know the tag differences.) Not much - the odd thing is different but all the important stuff works as you would expect. Are there problems monitoring BD in case it pegs the cpu? I know you can't use cfmx monitors. What do people do? (I also don't want to be tied to a computer 24hrs a day.) Big issue, small issue? You could set up a cron job to do this kind of thing with shell scripts. It could restart BD automatically etc. What sort of monitoring does viviotech do for you themselves? If something is obviously wrong with their hardware etc they get on it. You can ask Jordan for more details if you need to (I imagine he'll be responding here soon enough anyway). Is it a full-time job for you now monitoring the site yourself and jumping in to fix things all the time? BD had a hiccup once. Updating the system is as hard as typing yum update or using the control panel to do the same thing. How difficult was it to set up such an environment there with a couple extra very minor domains, ftp, email and such? Control Panel does this for you - fill in a form and click a button. Mysql backup has to be done manually? Do you also have to monitor mysql somehow? You could schedule this. MySQL hasn't broken so far. Do you install phpadmin to handle mysql, or something else? I'm not really a command-line guy. I use the MySQL Windows GUI tools - I've given a specific IP access to do this (via the control panel, btw). Navicat is good too. Did you have to become BD/mysql/apache gurus just in order to use them for the site, or left them as-is? I'm afraid I'd do this then find I'd never tweaked some obvious setting which was causing big problems. Nope, worked out of the box. What do you do to ensure security? You can set up firewall rules, schedule updates etc. It's set up quite securely by default. What were the biggest hurdles you faced going it alone? N/A - I haven't looked back. After the service I got at the old provider, I decided I'd do a better job. You can always ask for help on the forums if you get stuck and Jordan often helps for free (and of course you can pay for support if some simple advice is not going to cut it). -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:273500 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Here are my thoughts On 3/23/07, stylo stylo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thinking about a viviotech vps but I'm not an admin and never used linux. Wondering how hard it would be and what people are using there. I've searched and read the good feedback. It's either that or shared hosting somewhere like hostmysite/ct. I know there is a managed solution but wondering if I could toy with an unmanaged one and set it up slowly myself. Would like to hear from anyone but especially people who were in the same boat. Out of the box, the Viviotech VPSs are pretty easy to manage, if you are happy with the default setup... I'm more of al inux person so I actually configured and installed my own mail server (qmail) instead of using the default (postfix)... but there's really no need for that. Is a basic package with 256mb enough for Bluedragon and mysql4/5 on a not too busy niche commerce site? I thought much more memory would be needed. I run www.bobguiney.com on a VPS.. it's not a particularly active web site... it's running BlueDragon and currently is only using 75MB of 256MB physical memory, though the swap file is using 400MB of 512MB I've never had a problem with response time on it though. Find much difference between BD and cfmx on linux? (I know the tag differences.) For basic CFML functionality, bluedragon is a pretty good substitute. I try to make sure all my open source software runs on Bluedragon, and don't usually have much trouble at all. CFMBB, imageCFC, CFOpenChat, BlogCFM, etc... Are there problems monitoring BD in case it pegs the cpu? I know you can't use cfmx monitors. What do people do? (I also don't want to be tied to a computer 24hrs a day.) Big issue, small issue? I don't use any monitors on the VPS and I don't think I've ever had a problem with Bluedragon crashing. Current uptime is 131 days. What sort of monitoring does viviotech do for you themselves? On the unmanaged VPS, I'm not sure they do any monitoring, but you'd have to ask them to be sure. Is it a full-time job for you now monitoring the site yourself and jumping in to fix things all the time? I suppose that depends on your web site. I don't monitor bobguiney.com, I've made very few changes to it over the years, and it quite happily runs itself. The only thing I've really done to it in the last two years is post his blog entries for him. How difficult was it to set up such an environment there with a couple extra very minor domains, ftp, email and such? CP+ makes this all relatively easy. Do you install phpadmin to handle mysql, or something else? I'm not really a command-line guy. You can do that.. or get a GUI to run on your desktop and just grant privileges (through CP+) allowing you to access MySQL remotely. What were the biggest hurdles you faced going it alone? Changing the initial setup from Postfix to Qmail... I'm pretty good with qmail but figuring out how to get CP+ to itnegrate with qmail was a little difficult.. lots of different settings. You should be fine with postfix though. Rick -- CFMBB - Coldfusion Message Boards, Version 1.21 Now Available! http://www.cfmbb.org ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

Re: LDAP Anyone?
I was told when I began this project by the LDAP administrator that it is storing images in base64. So I just encoded the binary file as toBase64() and the database took it just fine but it actually wasn't just fine. All images uploaded my my tool where corrupt. By using a third party tool, the images showed as corrupt with errors like may be partially truncated or otherwise invalid. Using a third party tool it also qualified my newly uploaded images at Text Attributes while the other good images were qualified as Binary Attributes. As you say, it appears something might be lost in translation between cfldap and the underlying Java code. I have never worked with Java before and am a bit nervous venturing into it today but at this point, if I'm going to call myself a programmer, I suppose I better attempt to actually be one and take this challenge on. Thanks for your help, I will now look into trying to figure out what CFLDAP is calling and go from there. Best Regards, Leitch, Oblio wrote: I second this. Remember, because CF is typeless, when it tries to write to output binary in the cfldap tage, it might be expecting a string, not binary. How they've chosen to output the attributes, I don't know, but that might cause it to fail. I would double (triple?) check that the data sent through LDAP is, in fact, binary or encoded (base64 or hex or uuencode, etc). I wouldn't use a tool to do that as it might be altering results. Rather, try a packet sniffer to see what the actual contents are. If it's encoded, your life will be easier. If not, then you're probably going to have to investigate some Java-based alternative. My experience: I wanted a way to compress data. Specifically, I thought there should be a way to feed data through a CF function and get a compressed result. Since there's nothing that does it natively, I turned to Java. Java has a native GZipDataStream - very slick. The trouble was getting the data from CF -- it could only come and go as a String. I ended up requiring it to be base64 encoded to and from, and decode it once it was inside Java. (now I have a tag that will compress a datastream without writing to disk. I use it for squashing wddx packets for storage in a database) I think it was the interface they've written for custom CFX that's the limiter. -Original Message- From: Dinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: LDAP Anyone?

Re: Just a tidbit for those who might not have use iif before
First better way: Don't use strings for booleans!
cfinput type=radio name=myField id=myField value=myValue
checked=#IIF(something eq 'somethingelse', 1, 0)# /
Second better way: Don't write if True then True else False!
cfinput type=radio name=myField id=myField value=myValue
checked=#(something eq 'somethingelse')# /
(parenthesis are unnecessary here, but I feel they make it more readable)
Third better way: Don't use cfform!
form:select id=myField options=myValue value=somethingelse/
(that's from my form custom tag library, not yet released)
:)
I'm assuming there is a noticeable difference in using IFF? Recently
I've been using it quite heavily in forms now i.e.
cfinput type=radio name=myField id=myField value=myValue
checked=#IIF(something eq 'somethingelse', DE('Yes'), DE('No'))# /
Are there better ways of doing this?

Specifically I am experimenting with the instance manager and such. So, one thing I never knew you could do was to have a web server (IIS) on one physical computer bound to a CF instance (or cluster) on another physical server. So, just to get this straight in my head how it would work: I would run the Web Server Configuration Tool on the web server and specify the DNS name or IP address of the application server where JRUN was installed and the CF application was deployed. I wouldn't even need to have CF installed on the web server-- but wait a minute-- the Web Server Configuration Tool is part of the CFMX install. Even if I wasn't going to run my CF application from that server, would I still have to install it just to use the Web Server Configuration Tool? Would I need a license for that install? Is there another way to bind my web server to my CF instance/cluster without using the Web Server Configuration Tool? Oh, ones of great knowledge, enlighten me. This is one of a few millions questions I have thought of and HAVEN'T answered after pouring through the livedocs. Thanks. ~Brad ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

Re: CFQUERY vs SQL Server Stored Procedures
Cached queries will execute faster than stored procedures in many cases. The problem of queries inside of ColdFusion deals directly with looping over the data of performing a Query of a Query against the data set. I tend to stay away from Query of a Query as the performance is not to my liking. The real problem is when you have data from two different data sets from two database servers that are not linked. Unless you perform an extract of the data and move it regularly, you will have an intermediary step of having ColdFusion combined data sets. Cached queries also introduce limitations. You set in the administrator how many cached queries to store in RAM. Database servers do not give you this limitation. In the SQL Server land, the execution plan of a stored procedure is calculated once and stored there. This does not affect your CF server and also gives you flexibility. You do have to query the database, but recalculation similar to the first cached query creation is the cost. If you are on a shared host, this could make your life easier. Now there is the business and model approach. I tend to use CF to handle framework dynamics and display logic. if I cannot abstract business logic into a CFC domain, I will keep it in the stored procedure. I tend to choose one or the other. I would consider this a good practice that I would recommend, but again it is my recommendation and you can take it for a grain of salt. Business logic really should be centralized so you can change configurations, rules and flow easily. As for performance gain, I typically see about a 25-30% performance boost when using cached queries. Now this sounds great, but the data set was 40K records and returned by a cached query and a stored procedure. They both executed in less than 100ms. In more business to business setting, this is negligible for the most part. Facing pages on high performing sites should tweak as much as they can. My other case for stored procedures is the increased functionality and control over my data. TSQL in the SQL Server realm gives me additional logic and commands to get low level information. ETL based tools like DTS and SSIS being invoked from my stored procedures creates automation avenues. Built in mail support can alleviate taxing my CF server on data notifications.

And they don't directly touch on performance. 1. A belief that keeping SQL code in the database is of itself a good thing. By keeping the database interaction in the database you make it easier for DBA's to do their job. Especially when a query goes awry, and your SQL server starts bombing. It's in my humble opinion easier to troubleshoot SQL problems on the SQL server when the actual SQL is present. Especially during a crisis. Now, if you're a one person development team, or all of your CF developers are also doing their own DBA work it might not make a whole lot of sense for this argument. However, having all of the SQL there allows you to more easily use SQL tuning tools, which can improve indexing, which can make either inline queries or stored procedures run faster. 2. It forces developers to concentrate on the database first, as that seems to be the hardest thing to change once an application gets past the planning stage. Granted this is just enforcing good programming practices (taking a good long look at the database in this case) through policy.

I had a similar discussion last week :-) Free support might be better, but the fact you can turn to (your bosses bosses boss) and say 'it's OK to use X, if it goes wrong we can ring them up and they'll fix it' is a real deal winner sometimes. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to challengingly coordinate killer e-commerce On: http://thefalken.livejournal.com This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

RE: Web Server Configuration Tool
OK, so I am still hoping for other's input, but I have been doing some Googling on my own. Here is the live docs for Running the Web Server Configuration tool http://livedocs.adobe.com/jrun/4/Installing_JRun/servconf3.htm It tells me I must install JRUN, and gives me this page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/jrun/4/Installing_JRun/install.htm#1132147 But installing JRUN requires a serial number and, well-- it puts the whole JRUN environment on that server complete with the JMC. Nowhere did I see anything that said, Oh by the way you can still run the wsconfig WITHOUT installing all of JRUN. I'm sure it is possible, just not documented to well.

I don't think there is any :/ Install CF on your app server, then copy the wsconfig.jar to your webserver - it can go anywhere - but maybe stick it in something like d:/jrun4/lib Then you simply run: java -jar d:\jrun4\lib\wsconfig.jar ADD OTHER ATTRIBUTES -host IP_ADDRESS_OF_APP_SERVER It's not quite as simply as that, but thats the starting point.

CFOBJECT calling Word.Application for Spell checker problem
Hi guys, I'm currently migrating some of our applications from CF5.0/Win'2000 to CFMX7.02/Win' 2003. I've hit a problem with one of the pages which uses a CFOBJECT to call Microsoft Word's Spell checker and runs the page content through it. The CF5.0 server used Word 97 but I've installed Word 2007 on the new server. The page is giving me the following error: An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x80080005 - Server execution failed. Note that Windows 95 does not support automatic launch of a server, it must be running already. I found this article on something similiar which seems to think that the problem is related to DCOM permissions not being setup... http://cf-bill.blogspot.com/2006/08/instantiating-excel-com-component.html I've now done this but I'm still getting the error message. The code I'm using to call this is: cfobject action=create type=com class=Word.Application name=objWord Has anybody else been able to resolve this or have any suggestions?

RE: Just a question/discussion point RE: Web services..
What's the approach here? What's the next step to making something that people using .net or PHP can return and use? Create an array of transfer objects (objects with just cfproperty tags) or convert it to XML. Any pages anyone can recommend dealing with this? Tutorials? Best Practices, etc? Beuller? Beuller?

RE: Web Server Configuration Tool
So, I'm toying around with CF Enterprise and it is a lot of fun. Specifically I am experimenting with the instance manager and such. So, one thing I never knew you could do was to have a web server (IIS) on one physical computer bound to a CF instance (or cluster) on another physical server. So, just to get this straight in my head how it would work: I would run the Web Server Configuration Tool on the web server and specify the DNS name or IP address of the application server where JRUN was installed and the CF application was deployed. I wouldn't even need to have CF installed on the web server-- but wait a minute-- the Web Server Configuration Tool is part of the CFMX install. Even if I wasn't going to run my CF application from that server, would I still have to install it just to use the Web Server Configuration Tool? Would I need a license for that install? Is there another way to bind my web server to my CF instance/cluster without using the Web Server Configuration Tool? The approach that's been recommended to me in the past by Adobe/MM people was to install CF on both servers, and turn off CF services on the web server. My understanding has been that no additional license is required in this case. That said, I don't see why you couldn't copy the wsconfig.jar file from one server to the other, and run it manually. The web server configuration tool is just one file - wsconfig.jar. You will, of course, need some JVM on this other server to run this Java program, but there may already be one installed.

Scorpio - What to do until then?
Hi, all... Well, what I figured was going to happen is happening. There seems to be an emphasis in Scorpio in increasing the number of pre-built components, especially are Ajax functionality. And the Ajax bug has finally bitten me, via jQuery, but I'm running into limitations about what I can do server-side with CF 4.5... I'm planning to upgrade Scorpio when it becomes available proves itself reliable, but I want to use Ajax functionality now with CF 4.5 sp2 Is WDDX is the only option for accomplishing this with 4.5? I've been working with jQuery and using Ajax to send info to .cfm pages for processing, but I'm bumping up against the need to implement Ajax functionality on the server back to jQuery. Am I just out of luck without Json or is it worth the effort to develop in WDDX (if appropriate for my situation) until Scorpio is released? Perhaps there are free versions of a CF Server (Coral Web Builder, Smith Project, and one more I can't think of that is free) that can be utilized until Scorpio becomes available?

If I recall correctly, it's actually discussed directly within the CF documentation. But basically, it boils down to creating CFC instances to replace structures. For example, if you wanted to have information about a person in a structure, you would instead define and use a CFC to represent that information. Your CFC would have nothing but CFPROPERTY tags, which would essentially be used to provide named properties that would correspond to your structure keys; something like this: cfcomponent cfproperty name=FirstName type=string ... cfproperty name=LastName type=string ... /cfcomponent Man, I've re-read that three times now, and I'm just NOT following it. I'm so sorry Dave, but isn't the CFC the webservice? So you'd call for instance, getPerson() but that's not a method? Then, within your web service, instead of returning a structure (or an array of structures), you'd return a Person object (or an array of Person objects). But would an object be a cross platform object simply because I said it was? Who defines what a person object is? Is a person object the same in PHP as it is in CF as it is in .Net? Again, I apologize, but there seems to be something here that I'm just missing. This all stems from a web service that I'm trying to access that's just not returning ANYTHING that resembles the results I'm expecting. So I decided to just try and write my own web service that could be invoked remotely and return live data.

Rick, What are you missing that has to do with JSON? Will jsonencode() and jsondecode() not work for you on 4.5?

RE: Scorpio - What to do until then?
And the Ajax bug has finally bitten me, via jQuery, but I'm running into limitations about what I can do server-side with CF 4.5... There's no reason why you can't use AJAX functionality with CF 4.5. AJAX function calls simply return text. Newer versions of CF provide amenities, like CFCs and native XML handling, but you can still generate whatever text you like in CF 4.5. It will be up to you to make sure that the text contains valid XML, or JavaScript objects, or whatever your AJAX library expects to receive.

Railo is free for community, low-budget business, and developer use, and has a very cheap professional edition (â¬200). I suspect IgniteFusion is the freeware one you're thinking of. I've looked at that and wasn't too impressed; whilst I haven't done a proper evaluation of them, I suspect Smith might be better.

RE: Just a question/discussion point RE: Web services..
Man, I've re-read that three times now, and I'm just NOT following it. I'm so sorry Dave, but isn't the CFC the webservice? So you'd call for instance, getPerson() but that's not a method? You'd have a CFC that contains the web service method(s), and that CFC would use another CFC to define the return value datatype. The CFC example that I included would be the latter one, which just contains CFPROPERTY tags. Your getPerson method would return one of these CFC instances instead of returning a structure. But would an object be a cross platform object simply because I said it was? Who defines what a person object is? Is a person object the same in PHP as it is in CF as it is in .Net? The point of SOAP is to take care of these things for you. (If only it did a better job at this!) So, yes, your person object would have the same attributes regardless of the language. This all stems from a web service that I'm trying to access that's just not returning ANYTHING that resembles the results I'm expecting. So I decided to just try and write my own web service that could be invoked remotely and return live data. I got that working really easily, but then realized that I was just returning CF objects (structs, arrays, query objects) that were fine in CF, but would be worthless to anyone else. That's when I started to realize that maybe there's a problem with the form of the data that this web service was returning, and I started down this road... I just haven't had an opportunity to work with WSDL and web services or XML very much, so I'm just in WAY unfamiliar territory... Queries and structures aren't defined in SOAP, but arrays are. If you define custom objects as described previously, and use those in place of structures, those will be properly represented in SOAP.

Yes, the CFC is the webservice, yes it has a method getPerson() you can call

Inside the CFC, you do:
cfquery name=q
select first,last

/cf
cfset ret= ArrayNew()

cfset ret[q.currentRow]=createObject('component','com.valueObject')

Because you said so :-)
The cfproperty's get built into the WSDL that other people use to connect to
the webservice, so they know what you mean by 'person'.
Open the WSDL in your favourite plain text editor and you should recognise
(some) bits of it straight off.

RE: CF Enterprise
Interesting. So it looks like nobody actually USES the create new instance from war file in CF... So Jochem, if I create a new empty instance, do I just dump the EAR file in there and restart? Is that all? Is there any documentation anywhere on this? (Sadly there doesn't seem to be much documentation on anything anymore...) When you deploy do you delete the old cfusion.ear folder, or is it replaced automatically? Do you place the new EAR at the same level of the cfusion.ear folder?

This is driving me crazy-- it's like there's this really cool feature right in front of me, but it blows up at step one and no one acts like they have ever seen this before. What is the average size of an EAR or WAR? A clean and stripped 7.02 EAR is 67 MB excluding all code but including the CF Administrator. If you compile your code the size in bytes of your templates usually doubles. How long SHOULD it take to deploy? 1 minute? 5 Minutes? 30 minutes? We don't exactly deploy them but just dump them in the root of the JRun instance and cycle the instance. That takes about 1 minute.

Re: Converting CMYK images to RGB
Well, this took some time to figure out, but I found a program which can convert images (and a lot of other stuff) via the command prompt. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php convert C:\photos\cmyk.jpg -profile C:\icc\EuropeISOCoatedFOGRA27.icc -profile C:\icc\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm C:\photos\rgb.jpg ... which is simply called with cfexecute. And it works, and because it can use the color profiles, the colors in the resulting converted image are actually pretty decent. Only trouble is that it is fairly slow, with high resolution images causing time-outs. I'm not sure if that's really something we can live with, but for now, this will be the way to go.

I know I've taken part in a couple of your threads on this similar subject, but I forget. Those two functions are UDFs that you can obtain from CFLib.org... oh wait. Does 4.5 have UDFs?

RE: Deploying Fusebox application as a J2EE war/ear
Thing that I'm mostly concerned is moving parsed directory outside of application root directory since it's now inside war and can't be written into (or at least shouldn't be written to if it's possible) And what is the problem with moving it? Let's say that new parsed directory is C:\projects\clientname\parsed\ Now I'll need to create mapping so that cfinclude works properly. I'm quite sure I can get it to work eventually; I was hoping to avoid pitfalls by asking from people who have already done this before.

RE: Scorpio - What to do until then?
Hi, Dave... Any tutorials with examples on the subject that you can point me to? I'm totally new to Ajax and XML... I think that's what's causing my problem... just ignorance. Rick -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 1:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Scorpio - What to do until then? And the Ajax bug has finally bitten me, via jQuery, but I'm running into limitations about what I can do server-side with CF 4.5... There's no reason why you can't use AJAX functionality with CF 4.5. AJAX function calls simply return text. Newer versions of CF provide amenities, like CFCs and native XML handling, but you can still generate whatever text you like in CF 4.5. It will be up to you to make sure that the text contains valid XML, or JavaScript objects, or whatever your AJAX library expects to receive.

RE: Scorpio - What to do until then?
Hi, Peter... Railo would actually end up costing me more than MM CF Pro. I would need quite a few additional licenses for each website that I host and that would quite costly. While it's not free, Coral Web Builder is reasonably priced at $225, which I believe would include one developer license for me... that's all I would need. However, I don't think it supports, among other tags and functions, CFSCHEDULE, which I use heavily. So that's a killer. However, it's free to deploy as much as I want on client's machines without any additional fees. And I'm beginning to develop more office/webware. Looks like it doesn't support LSParseDateTime, ParseDateTime, ,or LSParseCurrency either... According to IgniteFusion's compatibility list, they don't support CFSCHEDULE, either, so that would be out. Smith Project doesn't support CFSCHEDULE. Doesn't support LSParseDateTime, ParseDateTime, or LSParseCurrency, all of which I use a lot... so it looks like Smith is too lacking... The alternatives just aren't satisfactory... Rick -Original Message- From: Peter Boughton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 12:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Scorpio - What to do until then? Perhaps there are free versions of a CF Server (Coral Web Builder, Smith Project, and one more I can't think of that is free) that can be utilized until Scorpio becomes available? Railo is free for community, low-budget business, and developer use, and has a very cheap professional edition (â¬200). I suspect IgniteFusion is the freeware one you're thinking of. I've looked at that and wasn't too impressed; whilst I haven't done a proper evaluation of them, I suspect Smith might be better. Coral Web Builder isn't free, it costs $225, plus $50 for each developer license. Unfortunately I haven't really looked at jQuery yet, so can't tell you which of these might be most suitable. Hi, all... Well, what I figured was going to happen is happening. There seems to be an emphasis in Scorpio in increasing the number of pre-built components, especially are Ajax functionality. And the Ajax bug has finally bitten me, via jQuery, but I'm running into limitations about what I can do server-side with CF 4.5... I'm planning to upgrade Scorpio when it becomes available proves itself reliable, but I want to use Ajax functionality now with CF 4.5 sp2 Is WDDX is the only option for accomplishing this with 4.5? I've been working with jQuery and using Ajax to send info to .cfm pages for processing, but I'm bumping up against the need to implement Ajax functionality on the server back to jQuery. Am I just out of luck without Json or is it worth the effort to develop in WDDX (if appropriate for my situation) until Scorpio is released? Perhaps there are free versions of a CF Server (Coral Web Builder, Smith Project, and one more I can't think of that is free) that can be utilized until Scorpio becomes available?

RE: WDDX v.s. CF 7 XML functionality
-Original Message- From: Dan O'Keefe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 7:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: WDDX v.s. CF 7 XML functionality While having a few legacy apps myself making use of WDDX, I was wondering if WDDX still has value that is not currently offered in the XML support of CF 7.02. Seems like opedwddx.org is pretty stale. It's just as valuable as it ever was. OpenWDDX.org is definitely getting long in the tooth however. I've created an updated WDDX JS parser here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_W DDX/ It's a more concise and modern. And (at least in my tests) quite a bit faster on most operations. Also, in case you're interested I've also designed my own data exchange layer that tries to improve on the basic ideas of WDDX (passing structured data) here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/YODEL/Index.cfm I'm using it very successfully on several projects. It works very similar to WDDX but (unlike WDDX) can be validated using XML Schema, supports methods for shrinking file size and some other (I think) neat stuff.

Re: Scorpio - What to do until then?
Heheh i cant wait till Rick gets ScorpioWhat a quantum leap he's going to be making! Things the rest of us take for granted - cfforms that work, native XML tags, functions, CFCs, And thats before considering all the goodness wrapped up in teh Scorpio package - the PDF manipulation, the native image tags, the reporting, the server monitoring . . RICK You wont be able to believe what a jump you're going to make! CF405 was a good product - I came in to the CF world just before CF4.5 came out, but that was SO long ago. Think of how far your other computer apps have come in 10 years. Or you microwave. Or cameras, or TVs or cars anything else that has a lot of high technology in it. You're going to make a similar jump with coldfusion.

and have the result returned via Ajax.
So, by post the form, you just mean that once all has been validated,
that you need the Form fields (all inputs -- hidden, radio, textarea,
select, etc.) to be passed to the server via Ajax right?
Have you tried something like this:
script
function CreateDataObject(){
var obj = new Object;
// all inputs of type text, hidden, select and textarea
$(input:text,input:hidden,select,textarea).each(function(){
obj[this.name] = this.value;
//eval(obj. + this.name + = ' + this.value + ';);
});
//dump(obj,false);
return obj
}
var HasBeenSubmitted = false;
function SaveApplication(){
if(!HasBeenSubmitted){
// first validate the form
if(ValidateForm(true)){
HasBeenSubmitted = true;
var myStruct = CreateDataObject();
//dump(myStruct);
var parms = ApplicationData= + $.toJSON(myStruct);
$.ajax({
type: POST,
url: ProcessEmploymentApp.cfm,
datatype: html,
data: parms,
success: function(data){
location.href=thankyou.cfm;
},
error: function(data){
alert(There was a problem submitting/);
}
});
}
}
else{
alert(can't submit more than once.);
return;
}
}
script
The CreateDataObject (a lousy name for it probably), creates what you
can think of as a struct which contains name/value pairs which I then
pass to the handling CFM page via ajax.
Have you tried a method like this? I've mentioned this code to someone
on the jQuery list once (it may have been you). Daemach and I were
tag-team helping someone and this was my proposed solution. This is code
that I'm actually using in a production environment.
Does this help? Let me know if any of it doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Chris
