Re: Error recovery
>>1.

In this case, yes, you cannot use a try/catch block (well, you can, but not simply for debugging sessions if the error cannot be reproduced). This is it. When you have an error in some template, after weeks of operation with no trouble, sometimes, something special happens, some rare case you didn't think was possible, you can't even reproduce the problem, so it is out of question to track the problem with try/catch or anything.

RE: client side and server side validation
Snide? I think you meant comical. :-) No one said anything about BLOCKING users either. He mentioned client side AND server side from the start (with the subject) which meant he was prepared to cater to both. Server side was just assumed to be understood and taken care of since the actual question was about client side. Snide remarks aside, anyone who depends solely on JS to "secure" ANYTHING shouldn't be writing commercial applications. (or any other application that sees the light of day on the net). That includes server side validation that is only triggered via JS using jQuery or 'AJAX'. JS is meant to ENHANCE user experience and that's it. It's in no way shape or form 'secure'. It's also in no way shape or form insecure; people make it that way when they start tying it into server side routines and depending on the client side to trigger it. -Original Message- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 1:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: client side and server side validation >>> What if the user has javascript turned off? >> Furthermore: what if he does not have Internet?

They're not going to turn it on, even if they knew how, and they represent a good portion of the core customers of the client in question. So, form validation is going to *have* to work, and report meaningful messages back to the user, *without* javascript. You're going to have to decide whether you can afford to block these people, or work with methods that will provide them a meaningful user experience plus the needed security for your site. I've really had to think about the methods I've been using on my sites. Validation using Javascript/CFFORM plus cfqueryparam ain't cutting it.

RE: Error recovery
I am not saying that your application should never throw errors. That's simply not gonna happen. Sorry if that is the way I am coming off. What I meant was that if this is an error that you are quite easily able to reproduce, then instead of killing yourself getting at the VARIABLES scope, start off by putting debugging code into the template that is throwing the error. Think about it this way - an error happens in one of two ways: 1. The error is happening on a page that is *likely* to throw an error (which might be if you are reading from the file system or talking to a web service). In cases like that, don't depend on the CFERROR tag or onerror method. You should put try /catch info around those action and deal with the error locally. 2. The error is happening randomly and is not easily repeatable. In this case, yes, you cannot use a try/catch block (well, you can, but not simply for debugging sessions if the error cannot be reproduced). I guess the confusion comes from me interpruting you as trying to handle case #1 using CFERROR, but perhaps you are just trying to get the VARIABLES scope using case #2? The error you are getting right now - is it something you can easily reproduce? ..

In these cases I immediately get an email with the error details and all the scopes (except variables) dumped so I can diagnose and fix it quickly. This doesn't mean my code throws tons of errors -- just that it does happen occasionally, and I need to know about it immediately if it does. And yes the goal is to have no errors! -- Josh ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Error recovery
Try putting a CFTRY / CFCATCH around the code that is throwing the error (even if you put it around the entire contents of a template) and then CFMAIL yourself the VARIABLES scope in the CFCATCH code. Bottom line Your page should NOT be throwing errors. I assume we are talking about debugging here. Put in temp code to help debug, narrow it down, fix, then remove the debugging code.

Re: To cache or not to cache...
Mike, I guess it all depends (ymmv etc.), but I'll give you some tips. Query of queries are not really great if you're trying to speed things up. It's not the worst way to go, but if you make better original queries and minimize the number of QoQs, you'll do a bit better. Now the question is do you want to make a stored procedure or a query - SPs are generally a little better because their execution plan is precompiled, but they're typically not much better than queries with bound parameters (cfqueryparams for us). However, you may want to look into a database view, which actually caches the results of a query, which works great for huge amounts of data. Then, do you want to cache the query in CF? That depends on how often the data changes, how much data there is (over 1GB of one type of data probably shouldn't just be stored in java memory, imho), and if you can work around any problems there may be if and when the data changes. Then perhaps you can do some smarter caching of your data - cache a small part of it as it's requested, or cache just the most popular parts of your dataset, if possible. This could help you get around needing to do QoQ's. Last, remember you can cache your queries, even queries of queries, in a shared scope, for instance, your application, or better yet, a CFC in your application scope where you can control access to the data. Ok, well just some thought to muse over on one of my favorite subjects.

I'm looking for a graphic app for MacOSX that's a little more advanced than OmniGraffle Pro.

Things I don't need: * Code export * Reverse engineering Any recommendations? OmniGraffle doesn't have the multiple connection points so that you can't cleanly do schema diagrams and easily visually show the foreign keys relationships. Thanks.

Re: Error recovery

I would think the form scope would be empty if the error template is treated as a new HTTP request; but in my experience, the form struct does dump correctly. If it were passing the form struct through to the error template somehow, it could also pass the variables struct. I'm in the same boat -- although I'm using onError in Application.cfc, it seems to work the same way as CFERROR.

Re: Error recovery
>>My guess would be the reason you can't do it, is because the variables struct is probably only completely populated AFTER the page has been checked for errors.

Re: client side and server side validation
>>> What if the user has javascript turned off? >> Furthermore: what if he does not have Internet? Hmmm? > or a computer Well, snide remarks aside - it *is* an issue. I have a particular application running where I've found that almost 35% of the folks using it do not have javascript enabled. They're not going to turn it on, even if they knew how, and they represent a good portion of the core customers of the client in question. So, form validation is going to *have* to work, and report meaningful messages back to the user, *without* javascript.

Moving from cookie to session for shopping cart
What I want to do it move away from storing shopping cart information in a cookie. We currently do this because we have multiple servers that handle the shopping cart. What I want to do it use only two servers in a cluster, one active and the other passive, and use session variables to control the shopping cart. I know you still need a cookie for the session variable. What I thought was I could insert the session ID in a table with the stock number, quantity, and price. After the order is completed, the session ID is deleted and all information about the order is purged from the table. Also, I would probably set to purge sessions that are inactive for 7 days. So.. may table would look like this: SessionID Stock Qty Price AddDate - - - -- - 1234567 123 1 9.9504/30/2007 Sound good? Also, would CF Enterprise be idea for this?

sql - querying number fields as dates
I have Oracle db entries where three numbers represent a date. This is because the user can enter in just the year, or just the year and month, or the whole dang thing. Now though, I have to query on this to find if the "date" is between two other dates in the search parameters. Also, the month or day entries that weren't used are left blank (null), so that when editing is done, they still appear as not selected. Do I do: dbYear < searchYear AND dbyear > searchYear2 if so dbMonth < searchMonth AND dbMonth > searchMonth2 if so dbDay < searchDay AND dbMonth > searchDay2 or do I figure out some way to create a date in SQL variables, which I really don't know how to do, and put in base numbers where the entries are blank, like using 1 for a beginDay that is left blank and 28,30, or 31 for endDays that are left blank and similar for months.

In my applications, I query the database to setup my entire navigation systems (an array of structures) then I store it in the application scope. I also store DSN information in application scope. In some frameworks, information is pulled from an XML configuration file. Fusebox has these abstract circuits that I think are stored in the application scope. I am not sure what Mach-II stores in the application scope upon application initiation. The question is not how to use application.cfm but what makes up a solid application scope variable enviornment?

RE: Which Framework do you use... (if any)
Relating to Frameworks, is there a certain one that scales better between 2 or more servers, or do they all scale the same as long as you setup client vars to be in a DB and shared? Does any framework specifically store internal variables in such a way as to preclude the use of multiple servers with a shared client scope? Chris ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

I think a few fairly high profile people have talked publicly about using several frameworks. I don't think any real "research" would should that "people fleet between them". Most people seem to settle on a given set of frameworks and stick with them. Sure, there are always going to be a few "switchers" but those really are the outliers in the community. I know a lot of hardcore Fuseboxers using FB3, for example, and also a lot of Model-Glue folks using MG1.x. You can hardly accuse them of "fleeting" between frameworks! > There must be one which > is faster, more productive and which just seems "the best"? Like Dave Watts I'll ask "why?"... different frameworks suit different people and different projects. It's not a decision anyone can - or should - make for you. I liked "Zaphod"s comment about the Accord - very applicable here. Ask this question on the FB forums and they'll probably tell you Fusebox is the answer. Ask it on the MG forums and they'll tell you Model-Glue. Ask it on the M2 forums and they'll tell you Mach II. > Which one has the most backing? Hard to say - they all have active communities and mailing lists. > The most long-term vision and lifecycle? Again, hard to say. Most of the frameworks' teams have an idea about the next two or three releases. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
