Now, the reason I say black magic (earlier) is because if you don't use the jrun web connector, things work much the way explained above, where your CF files need to be below the CF application mapping (jrun/servers/instancename/). I'm using tomcat and jboss for one app, and the proxyPass directive as a connector, and it works that way. But by default, with the jrun web connector, your CF files can be located anywhere you like, and I assume your cf instance could be located where ever you want (/cfusion, for instance :P), and the connector takes care of the details. But it is a bit confusing, since CF is an app server, which runs on an app server... And you can deploy CF apps in their own CF instances... And how it's all set up can vary... Yeah...

The problem with it is that 95% of the time people put business logic right into the view page, hence they are not separating out the logic from the view (separation of concerns). As Dinner has stated you can use cfincludes or even cflocation to keep the business logic on a separate page for better maintainability, but for most spaghetti coders the whole purpose of self-posting forms is to not have to create a new page. Spaghetti coders like to keep all the meatballs, noodles and sauce mixed together because it takes less time to plan and organize, which speeds up development, but makes it almost impossible to maintain. BTW, I have been a spaghetti coder all the way up until now and I am currently only working on one project where I have implemented OOP for the entire application. Also, I am not a computer science major (though I may minor in it eventually) but I am learning OOP just to get my AS at my local junior college.

I don't have a lot of experience with VMWare ESX, but running VMWare server on top of Windows, if I allocate 2GB to a VM, but the VM only uses 256mb, that's all that it will use, the host or other VMs can use the free RAM.

date compare
I've tried many approaches to this, but cannot get it to work right. Below I have a date compare which just does not work correctly. I'm using Access with a date/time field. If this is not the best solution, should I work with SQL then? I'm trying to find a date match in our database, minus 7 days, with the current date.

RE: Targetting an instance
Your webserver passes the request to CF. CF looks at the relative URL in the forwarded request and maps that to the known context roots (the list of them is in application.xml in the MEAT-INF directory). If there is a match the request is handled by that application and antyhing after the context root is appended to the location of the .war. Any virtual directories you need are in the xxx.web.jrun.xml file (xxx depends on the name of the application). == OK, so when I hit IIS for an image, does it bother JRUN for it, or does it just serve it up? I was under the impression that IIS would automatically serve all static content. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Uhmm, it just works??? The default behaviour for the webserver connector for clusters is to provide sticky sessions based on the first 4 bytes of the J2EE sessionID. Have you enabled J2EE sessions? === Per my original post, I have disabled sticky sessions and do not intend to enable them. JREE sessions ARE enabled in each instance, and I am sharing sessions among instances in my cluster. My sessions are not, however, sticky. Now, since I have three instances in my cluster only 1 out of 3 cfcharts on a page work, since the other two hit another instance which is apparently not able to generate the .png for it the chart. (Round Robin) I don't know how I can make that any clearer. My question is WITHOUT enabling sticky sessions, how can I force my cfcharts to go back to the correct instance to retrieve the image. Or whatever else would work. Has anyone else EVER had their cfcharts break when they started using a cluster and didn't use sticky sessions? ~Brad ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:273726 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

RE: date compare
Firstly, what you have to keep in mind is that you said you have date/time fields. When you are trying: WHERE myDate = '03/26/2007' what you are really saying is: WHERE myDate = '2007-03-26 00:00:00.000' This comparison will fail on a record such as '2007-03-26 17:56:22.000'. To get around that you can convert the date/time field to get it to drop the time: CONVERT(char(8), myDate, 1) will give you '03/26/07' cfquery name=Getnow datasource=trials Select * from trials_info /cfquery CFSET sevendaysback = DateAdd(d, -7, getnow.expiration) Select * from trials_info Where '#DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(now()), mm/dd/)#' = '#DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(sevendaysback), mm/dd/)#' /cfquery I get from your code that you are trying to find all records that have an expiration column equal to 7 days ago. You could do this all in one query like the following (MSSQL syntax): SELECT * FROMtrials_info WHERE CONVERT(char(8), dateadd(dd, -7, expiration), 1) = CONVERT(CHAR(8), getDate(), 1) HTH, Rich Kroll ~| 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:273728 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Targetting an instance
Yes. If you really want CF to have sources outside the EAR you need to create a mapping in jrun-web.xml, but I wouldn't bother. Are you suggesting that all my cfm files should always reside under jrun/servers/instance_name/... Right now, all my cfml is on an entirely separate drive. We did this because we wanted multiple instances to share the same code. In our environment we need the ability to deploy hot fixes any time throughout the day quickly and easily by simply moving a single file. Maybe, this is all possible and easy and we just don't know what we are doing (most likely scenario) but it seems that we would be greatly complicating our release process by having to create and deploy an EAR or something when all we need to update is a single line of code. From my experiences so far, creating and deploying WARs seems to be a very time consuming process. Thoughts? ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Targetting an instance
But by default, with the jrun web connector, your CF files can be located anywhere you like, and I assume your cf instance could be located where ever you want (/cfusion, for instance :P), and the connector takes care of the details. It is not the connector that does that. The connector just makes sure that the request is forwarded to a certain port on a certain IP address. After that it is all in the XML configuration files. But yes, you have considerable freedom to customize those configuration files. So, at what level does the cluster load balancing occur? Does the WS connector know what instances are in the cluster? If I have three instances on three separate servers with three separate IPs all in one cluster, and one web server is connected to that instance (heck let's say its on a separate server too), which IP address does it send the request to? What if one physical box goes down? Does the connector know all of the ip address for all of the instances in my cluster? ~Brad ~| 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:273736 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Targetting an instance
Brad Wood wrote: Yes. If you really want CF to have sources outside the EAR you need to create a mapping in jrun-web.xml, but I wouldn't bother. Are you suggesting that all my cfm files should always reside under jrun/servers/instance_name/... I am suggesting you put all your code in an EAR file and leave it there. Whether you create your instances under /jrun/servers/ or not is up to you. Right now, all my cfml is on an entirely separate drive. We did this because we wanted multiple instances to share the same code. In our environment we need the ability to deploy hot fixes any time throughout the day quickly and easily by simply moving a single file. Maybe, this is all possible and easy and we just don't know what we are doing (most likely scenario) but it seems that we would be greatly complicating our release process by having to create and deploy an EAR or something when all we need to update is a single line of code. Our scenario is designed to make it hard to mess with the contents of the application and change files. You get one EAR file, not a bunch of ..cfm/cfc files. And changing individual files is a bit hard if they are all compiled. We have had too many issues with people that alter our applications. From my experiences so far, creating and deploying WARs seems to be a very time consuming process. Depends on your definition of long. Generating an EAR straight from source control takes about 80 seconds for uncompiled and 120 seconds for compiled applications. For the more complicated applications running automated regression tests easily takes several hours. Deployment on a three node cluster takes 2 minutes if it is an incompatible change (old and new version can not be active at the same time due to incompatible database schema's) or up to an hour if we do a slow and controlled update of the cluster where we update one instance at a time. But our scenario is designed with a clearly different goal.

RE: More questions on Multiple Instances
In your jrun.xml, you can configure persistent storage. If it is enabled your sessions will be saved to disk when the instance goes down. The problem arises when the instance comes back up and stale session data is restored into the session and other cluster members. There is a KB article on the Adobe website about this. === Ahh, that makes sense. I have not started modifying any xml files yet. I guess I figured that if a setting was important enough, Adobe would make a checkbox for it in CFIDE somewhere. I guess that's probably not the case though.

RE: Targetting an instance
OK, so when I hit IIS for an image, does it bother JRUN for it, or does it just serve it up? I was under the impression that IIS would automatically serve all static content. That is a common misconception. By default, when you install the web server connector, it creates a wildcard mapping as Jochem mentioned. This allows JRun/CF to process generic servlet requests, which have no file extension. By default, also, the default context root is /, which of course is common to every request. So, when someone requests a static file, the connector forwards the request to JRun, which quickly determines that it's a static file and returns that request to the web server for processing. (At least, that's my understanding of how the process works; I could very well be wrong on some of the details.) Per my original post, I have disabled sticky sessions and do not intend to enable them. JREE sessions ARE enabled in each instance, and I am sharing sessions among instances in my cluster. My sessions are not, however, sticky. Now, since I have three instances in my cluster only 1 out of 3 cfcharts on a page work, since the other two hit another instance which is apparently not able to generate the .png for it the chart. (Round Robin) I don't know how I can make that any clearer. My question is WITHOUT enabling sticky sessions, how can I force my cfcharts to go back to the correct instance to retrieve the image. Or whatever else would work. Has anyone else EVER had their cfcharts break when they started using a cluster and didn't use sticky sessions? I would not expect anything which depends on the creation of a file at runtime, to work by default in a non-sticky clustered environment. You should expect that you'll have to take special measures in those cases. In this particular case, you could use a different instance just for handling these requests; this instance would presumably be hooked to a separate web server instance, and would guarantee that requests that generate charts are only run from one place. Jochem may well have some better alternatives up his sleeve; I haven't read through the entire thread yet.

RE: Targetting an instance
I think the default web connector handles stuff a bit differently- And you say CF, but you mean JRun, right? The way I see it, and this is using apache for an example, but with the default web connector, you add a handler for the .cfm, .cfc, .jsp file types-- This means that if httpd sees a request for fun.htm, it serves it directly, but if it sees a request for fun.cfm, it lets JRun/CF handle it, and just returns whatever CF returns. While the handler is there in httpd.conf, my experience with Apache and CF/JRun has been that JRun will be able to handle other requests, such as requests for servlets (which aren't mapped to any file extension at all). This indicates that JRun is able to examine every request, whether it matches one of the listed extensions or not.

RE: CF (VMWare ESX Server Vs Physical Hardware)?
+) Each VM slice get's a specific amount of RAM dedicated to it (no +other VM or the host OS can use it). Make sure that this is enough. I'm not sure if this is true. I don't have a lot of experience with VMWare ESX, but running VMWare server on top of Windows, if I allocate 2GB to a VM, but the VM only uses 256mb, that's all that it will use, the host or other VMs can use the free RAM. This is the default behavior for ESX 3 as well, I think. However, you can't dynamically increase the amount of memory that a guest OS will use; you must set a maximum, which is what the guest will think is the actual physical memory. To change the maximum, you must stop the VM, edit its settings, then restart it. Within ESX, memory management can get pretty complicated. While this was written for a previous version of ESX, it's a good explanation for how memory management works within ESX: http://www.waldspurger.org/carl/papers/esx-mem-osdi02.pdf (PDF version) http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:xvUNqOqWAdQJ:www.waldspurger.org/carl/pa pers/esx-mem-osdi02.pdf+vmware+esx+guest+memory+allocationhl=enct=clnkcd= 3gl=usclient=firefox-a (HTML from Google cache) Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.

RE: Targetting an instance
Well, I supposed the primary reason why I was hoping not to use them is they just don't make sense. The idea of load balancing to me is that my CURRENT traffic load would be evenly spread across the servers. In light of that concept, the whole idea of taking each user, lassoing them down, and tying them to one server just seems to fly in the face of evenly proportioned traffic. If 8 users logon to a site clustered in round robin fashion to two instances, and then the 4 on one server all log off that leaves 100% of remaining traffic bound to one and only one server. That just doesn't seem right. Why should my traffic 2 hours ago determine the server load now. (On our internal site the average session lasts all day long-- from when people come to work and log in, till when they go home and log off.) We have had very poor load spread here with our current hardware load balancer which divides traffic up between 5 single instance installs of CF. Sticky sessions are enabled on the HW Load Balancer and somehow I think they might be to blame for some of the lop-sided traffic. For instance, right at this very moment according to my live SeeFusion stats one of my web servers has served 45% of all page hits today, and another server has only served 5%!! What the heck? So, when we decided to move to Enterprise, I thought GREAT now I can share sessions amongst the servers and never have to worry about our servers being lopsided again. But now, every problem I run into enable sticky sessions is the bloody answer! Enabling sticky sessions seems to completely undo pretty much all the good I was hoping to gain from replicating my session and letting the users jump from one server to another as they used the site. Of course, what frustrates be about BOTH are hardware balancer and a JRun cluster, is that they are not aware of things like CPU usage on the servers. They just keep round robining traffic as long as the server/instance is up regardless of how many other requests that server may still be churning through. I would definitely like suggestions on how to make our load balancing more aware. I know our hardware balancer (Foundry ServerIron) supports checking a hear-beat page, but to my understanding that only tells it that the application server is running-- not how busy it is. ~Brad -Original Message- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 1:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Targetting an instance Maybe I missed a part of the thread, but what exactly is the reason that you don't want to enable sticky sessions?

RE: Targetting an instance
What actually happens is mod_jrun passes the request to the jrun connector. If it is a cfm file or some other file that JRUN handles, then JRUN returns true, and handles the request. If it's a file that JRUN doesn't handle, then it returns false, and apache looks for another module that can handle the request. You can see this in action if you enable the verbose logging.

Yes, but unless you're using the JRun Web Server, that doesn't really matter. Apache receives HTTP requests, and forwards them to JRun. Some part of JRun (the web connector, JRun proper, both; I'm not sure) figures out whether JRun should handle the request or not.

RE: Targetting an instance
Of course, what frustrates be about BOTH are hardware balancer and a JRun cluster, is that they are not aware of things like CPU usage on the servers. They just keep round robining traffic as long as the server/instance is up regardless of how many other requests that server may still be churning through. I would definitely like suggestions on how to make our load balancing more aware. I know our hardware balancer (Foundry ServerIron) supports checking a hear-beat page, but to my understanding that only tells it that the application server is running-- not how busy it is. I don't know about ServerIron specifically, but I do know that some hardware load balancers can pull metric data if it's in a heartbeat page. If so, you could use CF to provide that data using the GetMetricData function.

RE: Targetting an instance
In most environments, when you are load balancing, you will have a large amount of users, and thus the traffic will be proportionally distributed even with sticky sessions. It seems that you are running high intensity web applications with few users. In this scenario, it's possible that traffic will be lopsided. If this affects user performance for you, then perhaps sticky sessions are not the answer. Personally, I would set up a shared directory that both servers can write their CFCHARTS to as has been suggested by other members. If you want fairer load balancing that takes into account CPU utilization, perhaps you can set up a health check page that returns the CPU utilization (which doesn't seem to be very easy, but you can return the number of currently running requests, or number of current sessions, etc), and have ServerIron distribute the requests based on those values. I haven't personally tried this, but I'm guessing it should be possible. Russ -Original Message- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 3:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Targetting an instance Well, I supposed the primary reason why I was hoping not to use them is they just don't make sense. The idea of load balancing to me is that my CURRENT traffic load would be evenly spread across the servers. In light of that concept, the whole idea of taking each user, lassoing them down, and tying them to one server just seems to fly in the face of evenly proportioned traffic. If 8 users logon to a site clustered in round robin fashion to two instances, and then the 4 on one server all log off that leaves 100% of remaining traffic bound to one and only one server. That just doesn't seem right. Why should my traffic 2 hours ago determine the server load now. (On our internal site the average session lasts all day long-- from when people come to work and log in, till when they go home and log off.) We have had very poor load spread here with our current hardware load balancer which divides traffic up between 5 single instance installs of CF. Sticky sessions are enabled on the HW Load Balancer and somehow I think they might be to blame for some of the lop-sided traffic. For instance, right at this very moment according to my live SeeFusion stats one of my web servers has served 45% of all page hits today, and another server has only served 5%!! What the heck? So, when we decided to move to Enterprise, I thought GREAT now I can share sessions amongst the servers and never have to worry about our servers being lopsided again. But now, every problem I run into enable sticky sessions is the bloody answer! Enabling sticky sessions seems to completely undo pretty much all the good I was hoping to gain from replicating my session and letting the users jump from one server to another as they used the site. Of course, what frustrates be about BOTH are hardware balancer and a JRun cluster, is that they are not aware of things like CPU usage on the servers.

There are no like, virtual directories for every place HTTPD serves CF content from (which can be anywhere, with the JRun connector). IIRC it works 2 ways. The webserver forwards the request to JRun and lets JRun do its thing based on the configuration in web.xml (for the wildcard handler). But the webserver also translates the path according to its own virtaul directories and sends the translated path along as a cgi variable (for extensions). That gives JRun another option to figure out which template to run. (You could really see this with the 'cacherealpath' issue in CF 6 where one CGI variable was translated and another wasn't.)

csv importing problem and setting existing query column type
Hi all, I am having problems with a couple cfx tags I'm using for importing a csv file into a query. Not really a problem with them but rather the fact that they don't set the column types for the queries they create. This is a problem because when I go to do a query of query, ColdFusion guesses that a field is a number and later errors when a row has the field blank instead of 0 or null. Does anyone know how to set the type of a column outside of recreating the query (slow) or CAST in cfquery (errors due to guessing type)?

RE: Targetting an instance
This is actually what I meant, having a health check page on each instance that you can hit with the load balancer and see what the current CPU utilization is. As far as having JRUN handle this with IIS, I think you're pretty much SOL. IIS connector is not open source, so unless you get Adobe to implement it for you, which isn't likely to happen unless they decide to release something like this in Scorpio. You can of course use Apache instead of IIS, and modify the connector source and compile your own connector. I am not sure, however, if JRUN returns any sort of metrics data that you would be able to use. You might be able to solve this with some JRUN modules, but my guess is this solution is way overkill for what you're trying to achieve. A simple health check that works with the hardware loadbalancer that returns metrics data should work, assuming your loadbalancer supports this.

I would absolutely love to know if I can organize my cluster balancing to be aware of CPU etc. I don't think that's possible with JRun. If that is true, it makes me very sad. Maybe I am setting my sites too high again, but having actual load-aware clustering seems like one of those bread-and-butter pieces of load balancing-- I'm kind of surprised an Enterprise Level app such as JRun would not support it. Let me guess, I would have to start deploying my app on another J2EE app server like IBM WebSphere to get functionality like that? ~Brad ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

Brad Wood wrote: Well, since you asked, I would have expected there to be a setting you could send in through the URL which would force the web server to hand your request to a specific instance. Then would expect an attribute of the cfchart tag called forcesameinstance=true or something which would generate a fully qualified URL for the img src which specified the same instance which was currently processing the cfchart tag. That makes sense to me anyway. So how would that work if CF were deployed on a J2EE server that is not JRun?

RE: Targetting an instance
A simple health check that works with the hardware loadbalancer that returns metrics data should work, assuming your loadbalancer supports this. Not from my understanding-- though I could be very wrong. It is my understanding that if I have a group of servers running IIS, and a separate group of clustered servers running CF, then I have load balancing going on at two different levels. The first level is between the user and IIS, and the second level is between IIS and my CF Instances. My Hardware load balancer only sits between the user and the servers running IIS. Keep in mind CF might not even be installed on those servers. Now once IIS gets the request from the hardware load balancer, the web server connector uses my cluster algorithm (Let's say Round Robin) to choose an instance in the cluster (assuming it is not static content being served).At this point the hardware load balancer is out of the picture. It is also at this point that I want my balancing to be based on things like CPU. From what people are telling me though, the IIS connectors aren't smart enough to do that. ~Brad ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
