Choosing an ORM

2007-06-04 Thread Robert Rawlins - Think Blue
Hello Guys,

 

I've just started work on a large scale rebuild of my core business
application, and to aid me the gruelling task I'm toying with implementing
MG, ColdSpring and one of the ORM's. I've done some small work with these in
the past but used Reactor. Now, I'm sure I've read somewhere that Reactor
and MG got a divorce, and that MG would most likely end up sleeping with
Transfer, is this the case?

 

Another thing to take into consideration is that I had planned to take all
my queries and move them into stored procs on my SQL Server as some of them
were getting pretty fat and needed a helping hand to keep performance where
I want it, will I still be able to do this when working with an ORM?

 

What are your thoughts on this stuff? What's hot? And what's not?

 

Look forward to hearing from you guys,

 

Rob

2007-06-04 Thread Mark Mandel
I'm totally biased, so I won't give you an opinion one over the other
- however, to note, if you are using stored procs, then you won't be
able to use Transfer.

Simply put - it writes all that SQL for you, so you don't have to...
so why would you need the integration?

RE: Choosing an ORM

2007-06-04 Thread Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)
Morning,

From what I can see, it had a divorce in that it is not longer intrinsically
tied into MG. With MG:U you have ORM Adaptors which means you can choose
either Reactor or Transfer (or any other should they come about or exist).
Stored Procs aren't going to really fit the ORM bill it really has to be
direct object to table access from what I can see.

What I have found with Reactor is that since it is an ActiveRecord process
it has to be a 1:1 object mapping to a real physical table.  It is less
flexible that Transfer. With Transfer you have a little bit more flexibility
with decorators but it still lacks in some areas (and excels in others) -
composite keys is one area but I know Mark is working on a fix for this so
it can support them.

Thanks Neil and Mark,

I remember the whole 'active' records and really liked that concept, but to
be honest I've gotten myself tied quite nicely into using stored procs
recently and don't really want to move back, I'm quite happy.

I've got a small CFC setup here that generates all my beans, DAO and Gateway
for my simple objects so that will probably do the job and a ORM might not
be necessary, I can probably survive without all that advance stuff for the
moment.

One thing I would like to quickly ask, whilst on the subject of data access,
how do you guys deal with encryption in an OO environment? Do you just dump
the key into your app scope? Or do you create an encryption class that
stores it as a property, along with the other settings and place that as a
singleton into your app scope? And how do you utilize that in your DAO?
Inject it as a constructor?

Thanks again for your input chaps,

Rob

RE: Choosing an ORM

2007-06-04 Thread Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)
From experience, it can be a easy to choose SP's for their speed, but I
have found that cfquery can perform just as well, and even better in some
cases.  

Sure you get the multiple recordset ability with an SP but unless you are
using CF8 you still cannot cache results - unless you roll your own
mechanism which is an arse. They are also harder to debug but that is no
doubt something you know and can live with!

I would use them but I would think about using them sparingly and if you can
to use an ORM - don't us them at all.

No worries,

Yeah, if you are working on large imports/data management then I would look
at using SP's/DTS/SSIS but I would no doubt trigger them asynchronous as
well and I would probably not use the web to control the jobs outcome (as in
a job completion notification) as long running requests like that as a bitch
to handle and are wasted resources unless you have a dedicated instance
doing all that legwork etc. 

You want to encrypt all of your data in and out of your app?

Cheers Neil,

Yeah I agree there are some issues with stored procs, but things like
caching are something I don't really have to deal with in this application,
the site isn't public facing and the majority of the data within the app
needs to be 'real-time' so we tend not to cache. However, that IS an
exciting feature in Scorpio, can't wait to upgrade :-)

I know that debugging and things can be a bit of a hassle, but generally all
the queries are written in CF as a proof of concept first, once we have a
working model then we'll migrate them over to stored procs for the
production version. Also a large amount of our more complex queries are for
data imports and moving large amount of data around, so being able to have
SQL server do all the donkey work is a god send. I've not done much testing
on performance myself but I like the concept of the separation using them
gives and if we get boosted performance as a result then that's just a
fringe benefit.

The other benefit of the stored proc method is portability of the database,
There is a possibility that in the future we'll have to bolt on some more
JAVA based apps to the server and if we can have them share the same query
set without having to rewrite it all, then that'd be nice too.

Any ideas on that encryption stuff? I'm trying to figure out the best way to
implement it, I'm almost 100% convinced giving it a class makes sense,
especially if working with a factory, I can define my key in the XML and
have it inject an instance into all my DAO's with the minimum of hassle.

Thanks again mate, where abouts in the world are you sending from? By the
way you spell 'arse' I'm guessing you're a fellow UK resident.

No worries,

Yeah, if you are working on large imports/data management then I would look
at using SP's/DTS/SSIS but I would no doubt trigger them asynchronous as
well and I would probably not use the web to control the jobs outcome (as in
a job completion notification) as long running requests like that as a bitch
to handle and are wasted resources unless you have a dedicated instance
doing all that legwork etc. 

You want to encrypt all of your data in and out of your app?

Cheers Neil,

Yeah I agree there are some issues with stored procs, but things like
caching are something I don't really have to deal with in this application,
the site isn't public facing and the majority of the data within the app
needs to be 'real-time' so we tend not to cache. However, that IS an
exciting feature in Scorpio, can't wait to upgrade :-)

I know that debugging and things can be a bit of a hassle, but generally all
the queries are written in CF as a proof of concept first, once we have a
working model then we'll migrate them over to stored procs for the
production version. Also a large amount of our more complex queries are for
data imports and moving large amount of data around, so being able to have
SQL server do all the donkey work is a god send. I've not done much testing
on performance myself but I like the concept of the separation using them
gives and if we get boosted performance as a result then that's just a
fringe benefit.

The other benefit of the stored proc method is portability of the database,
There is a possibility that in the future we'll have to bolt on some more
JAVA based apps to the server and if we can have them share the same query
set without having to rewrite it all, then that'd be nice too.

Any ideas on that encryption stuff? I'm trying to figure out the best way to
implement it, I'm almost 100% convinced giving it a class makes sense,
especially if working with a factory, I can define my key in the XML and
have it inject an instance into all my DAO's with the minimum of hassle.

One thing I would like to quickly ask, whilst on the subject of data access,
how do you guys deal with encryption in an OO environment? Do you just dump
the key into your app scope? Or do you create an encryption class that

Inject it as a constructor?

From what I can see, it had a divorce in that it is not longer intrinsically
tied into MG. With MG:U you have ORM Adaptors which means you can choose
either Reactor or Transfer (or any other should they come about or exist).
Stored Procs aren't going to really fit the ORM bill it really has to be
direct object to table access from what I can see.

What I have found with Reactor is that since it is an ActiveRecord process
it has to be a 1:1 object mapping to a real physical table.  It is less
flexible that Transfer. With Transfer you have a little bit more flexibility
with decorators but it still lacks in some areas (and excels in others) -
composite keys is one area but I know Mark is working on a fix for this so
it can support them.

RE: Content Compression

2007-06-04 Thread Dan G. Switzer, II
Neil,

Anyone using Content Compression with any of their sites/apps (on the fly
or
otherwise).  If so, what are you using what kind of speed improvements are
you getting if any?  I am particularly interested in IIS implementations.

Performance improvements are going to be relative to your app and your
servers. If you're pages contain lots of HTML overhead (which can happen to
apps that rely heavily on table / elements for layout) then you could see
a sizable difference in the bandwidth needed to xfer your output from the
server to the client.

On a recent project I migrated an older application that tends to be very
markup heavy to a new server. It's not uncommon for it to produce pages that
are 100k+ of markup. 

Using IIS6's native compression has drastically help us reduce the bandwidth
needed to xfer these files, which does make some of the larger reports on
our page appear to load faster.

However, it's important to notice that compression does not really give you
speed improvements. It actually adds more processing time to the request
(while for dynamic content--since it needs to be recompressed on every page
request.) However, it can help drastically reduce the amount of bandwidth
need to transfer files to the client.

In our situation, the time that it takes to compress most pages is barely
noticeable and the gain in delivery time far outweighs the additional
overhead.

I can't qualify these into real numbers (partly because the migration to new
servers also meant migrating to faster servers,) but in my testing there
definitely was a significant decrease in delivery times after applying
compression.

If you're paying for bandwidth usage, compression can also help reduce your
hosting costs as well (or at least allow you to serve more pages than
before.)

-Dan

Sandra,
The HTML recommendation doesn't _prohibit_ using the alt attribute value
as the tooltip explicitly, and this is controllable by the developer for
IE. If you don't want to see the tooltip in IE that is shown from the
alt attribute value, use a null title attribute on the image.  If you
_do_ want to see the tooltip in Firefox, put the desired tooltip content
into the title attribute (keeping it in the alt attribute for the image
also).

RE: Choosing an ORM

2007-06-04 Thread Ryan, Terrence
Well 

When it generates the code it's not blazingly fast.  A simple application takes 
about 5 seconds on my laptop, a more complicated one takes anywhere from 20 
seconds to a minute. (On server class hardware it is obviously much faster.)  
But that's why it's a passive code generator, instead of an active one.

However once the code is generated, it's executed pretty fast, assuming that 
the underlying table structures are properly indexed and whatnot.  Even an 
improperly indexed table will be okay, at least for awhile. I typically see 
either 0 or 16ms for individual calls.

For those of you who don't know, Coldfusion is built upon Java. Someone has
taken it upon themselves to write a Java library, called Quertus, which
parses PHP code. Someone else then built upon THAT and wrote a Coldfusion
library which references the Quertus library and allows you to combine PHP
and Coldfusion code on the same page, pass variables back and forth to each
other and more.
 
http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/ColdFusion_8_running_
PHP
 
I don't know what the speed is (probably not as fast as the native zend
interpreter, but still...PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass.
I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby.

RE: Choosing an ORM

2007-06-04 Thread Robert Rawlins - Think Blue
Yeah,

From what i've seen whilst reading the documentation it simply writes all
the laborious code for you, there is nothing to stop you modifying all those
DAO's, Gateways and Stored Procs to optimize them afterwards, it just gives
you a nice working model to start with. Like Terrence says, provided your
database is built properly in the first place then I'm sure it'll run very
efficiently. It doesn’t look like the Reactor framework, its just a CFC
generator by the look of things, I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Thanks,

Rob

Well 

When it generates the code it's not blazingly fast.  A simple application
takes about 5 seconds on my laptop, a more complicated one takes anywhere
from 20 seconds to a minute. (On server class hardware it is obviously much
faster.)  But that's why it's a passive code generator, instead of an active
one.

However once the code is generated, it's executed pretty fast, assuming that
the underlying table structures are properly indexed and whatnot.  Even an
improperly indexed table will be okay, at least for awhile. I typically see
either 0 or 16ms for individual calls.

It doesn't have hooks for any of the other frameworks yet, but it does
implement the DAO and Gateway for a MSSQL database using stored procedures.
And while it doesn't have any hooks for the frameworks, there's nothing to

In addition to writing its own CRUD in stored procs, it also reads in and
makes available your stored procedures as CFC methods. It can handle
multiple queries proc call, etc.

Hello Guys,

 

I've just started work on a large scale rebuild of my core business
application, and to aid me the gruelling task I'm toying with implementing
MG, ColdSpring and one of the ORM's. I've done some small work with these in
the past but used Reactor. Now, I'm sure I've read somewhere that Reactor
and MG got a divorce, and that MG would most likely end up sleeping with
Transfer, is this the case?

 

Another thing to take into consideration is that I had planned to take all
my queries and move them into stored procs on my SQL Server as some of them
were getting pretty fat and needed a helping hand to keep performance where
I want it, will I still be able to do this when working with an ORM?

 

What are your thoughts on this stuff? What's hot? And what's not?

 

Look forward to hearing from you guys,

I've no idea whether Adobe would consider incorporating my scripting
project (I don't work for Adobe).

There are some interop issues (between the host CF page and the
embedded script engines) since each scripting engine uses its own data
model - I'm working on documenting those on the project wiki. There
are also parts of the embedded language that just plain ol' won't work
because the execution context is different to what it expects (the
mail() function in PHP for example - but of course you can easily drop
back to CF for that).

Dude, LogoWriter on an Apple IIe was how I first fell in love with
programming.  

Seriously though.  I can see the future and it looks like this:

All you need is ColdFusion and you can successfully mix just about every
other language you would want into the SAME app.
CF already has integration with Java (obviously), .Net (In Scorpio), and
CFX tags have been around since like CF2 or something.  CF could give
just about any company the ability to glue together all of there
independent processes and leverage each of the languages benefits all
from the same place.

It did and can a la webservice... unless the language you use doesn't
conform to the current standards... or doesn't support webservices and
you've got nothing better to do than put together a parsing routine...
Or you realize that for all intents and purposes it might be easier to just
put in a VPN and query the data yourself... ah crap, I just proved myself

library which references the Quertus library and allows you to combine PHP

PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass.
I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby.

I recently did almost the exact same thing with JSP (obviously a much simpler 
task considering CF is java based). 

I didn't bother posting the code anywhere because I thought it was simple 
enough and I couldnt really think of a reason outside of the specific project 
we were working on (migrating legacy JSP code to CF) to bother with JSP code 
snippets, but if you people want to see the code, I'm happy to share it.

Does anyone even care about this stuff?

 I'm working on leveraging the javax.script.* CompiledScript machinery
 which should allow for script caching and one-time compilation which
 should make it much faster than the current Alpha version of
 scripting.

I just implemented this and committed it - go download the latest Alpha build:

You still get the compilation overhead on the first hit of a code
fragment (obviously) but subsequent hits are lightning fast (both for
PHP and Ruby).

...why would you want to?

Two words: Cost-savings

If CF can leverage existing apps written in other languages even to a modest
degree, this greatly increases the value of ColdFusion.

We are in this for the money, right? ...not just for the pure love of the
ColdFusion gospel?

The real million dollar question is why would you want to? Almost anything
PHP can do, CF can do. Almost anything CF can do, .NET can do. Almost
anything .NET can do, PHP can do.

Unless you want to take advantage of the thousands of crappy opensource PHP
apps that are out there, but if that's the case, save some time and just
open up your firewall. =]

Subject: OT: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page

For those of you who don't know, Coldfusion is built upon Java. Someone has
taken it upon themselves to write a Java library, called Quertus, which
parses PHP code. Someone else then built upon THAT and wrote a Coldfusion
library which references the Quertus library and allows you to combine PHP
and Coldfusion code on the same page, pass variables back and forth to each
other and more.

http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/ColdFusion_8_running_
PHP

I don't know what the speed is (probably not as fast as the native zend
interpreter, but still...PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass.
I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby.

Yes snippets are cool, but I loved the simple elegance of not having the 
keystroke combos to press. Call me very lazy, but with CFStudio I didn't even 
have to take my eyes off the screen to find any keystroke combos involving ctrl 
+ alt + x. I'd just keep on typing. 

Now if they'd just put the End key in a more ergonomically comfortable 
position :-)

Need hekp with INstallation of CF7 Apache

2007-06-04 Thread cf_man
I am having some trouble with the wsconfig utility.
I have CF 7 installed on its built in websercer on p[ort 8300 using the multi 
configuration setup. However I need it to be served up by apache 1.3.x which is 
on another server, seperate from the CF box - both Solaris unix servers. I 
tried the instructions below with no success. Somehow since Apache is not on 
the same server, it complains that it cannot find the directory as the Apache 
server is on another box.  How do I refer to another server using the 
instruction below???



wsconfig -server servername -ws Apache -dir apache config directory -
coldfusion -v

Thanks in advance for your help

You have three options:

* Give up.

* Move CF onto the web server or Apache onto the CF server.

* Create a proxy in Apache to pipe requests over to the ColdFusion
server.  This is basically what most Rails developers do if they don't
use CGI so there are lots of tutorials on it.

Simply sharing the files via e.g. NFS wouldn't work as you need to share
the processes, not the data.

Your best best is the second option, though the third would work pretty
well too.

I am not sure if I understand. I cannot even get the wsconfig utility to even 
work. It will just not recognize the apache server, (it can be pinged).  I need 
to disconnect the current webserver, which comes with CF (running on port 
9300), and hook up  apache as a webserver which actually runs on another 
seperate server.  Having CF and Apache on the same box is not an option at this 
time.  Are you saying that Creating  a proxy  will solve that problem

So I have been searching the net for about 3 days on this and no help so I now 
turn to you guys for help.  I have a report I built in Crystal Reports 11 and 
saved it into a dirctory called Reports.  The Reports folder is in the same 
directory as every thing else that my page uses.  I use a .cfc to the data for 
the report and on my return form the cfc to the index.cfm I call a page called 
GoalReport.cfm in it I have the cfreport tag.  It does dsiplay the report just 
fine the only thing that it dosent due is bring up the right data.  I have 
check my table time after time and the table has the right info in it but the 
report displays the old data.  How do I make it display the data that is in the 
table.  Here is the code that is in my GoalReport.cfm 

cfreport report = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Worksitenew23\Reports\Worksite Goal 
Report.rpt datasource=AgentSys username = sa password =

a test server), and then manually copying the configuration to the remote
apache server (updating ip address as necessary).

 You have three options:
 
 * Give up.
 
 * Move CF onto the web server or Apache onto the CF server.
 
 * Create a proxy in Apache to pipe requests over to the ColdFusion
 server.  This is basically what most Rails developers do if they don't
 use CGI so there are lots of tutorials on it.
 
 Simply sharing the files via e.g. NFS wouldn't work as you need to share
 the processes, not the data.
 
 Your best best is the second option, though the third would work pretty
 well too.

 I am not sure if I understand. I cannot even get the wsconfig utility to
 even work. It will just not recognize the apache server, (it can be
 pinged).  I need to disconnect the current webserver, which comes with CF
 (running on port 9300), and hook up  apache as a webserver which actually
 runs on another seperate server.  Having CF and Apache on the same box is
 not an option at this time.  Are you saying that Creating  a proxy  will
 solve that problem

RE: Need hekp with INstallation of CF7 Apache

2007-06-04 Thread Dave Watts
 I am having some trouble with the wsconfig utility.
 I have CF 7 installed on its built in websercer on p[ort 8300 
 using the multi configuration setup. However I need it to be 
 served up by apache 1.3.x which is on another server, 
 seperate from the CF box - both Solaris unix servers. I tried 
 the instructions below with no success. Somehow since Apache 
 is not on the same server, it complains that it cannot find 
 the directory as the Apache server is on another box.  How do 
 I refer to another server using the instruction below???
 
 wsconfig -server servername -ws Apache -dir apache config 
 directory - coldfusion -v

To set this up, you'd first need to install CF (or minimally wsconfig) on
the Apache box, then run wsconfig from there. You could then turn off CF on
that machine. This configuration is often called distributed mode.

However, you might find it easier to use a proxy as Damien described.

wsconfig is for adding the necessary web server configuration changes to
pass processing of CFM files to a process running on the same server.
You aren't going to be able to do that.

What you'll have to do is use a proxy.  This will make all calls to e.g.
http://mysiteonserver1.com/ pass through to http://mysiteonserver2.com/.

Alternatively you might try configuring the apache server as a
load-balancer to serve up pages from the CF server.

A few other questions:

* Can you upgrade the Apache server to v2.2?

* Can you install Apache on the CF server?

Here's some info to help:

 If CF can leverage existing apps written in other languages 
 even to a modest degree, this greatly increases the value of 
 ColdFusion.

Since PHP, Ruby, etc are free, the only possible value can come from
integration between existing apps. I can see that value with Java, where I
can use CF as essentially a replacement for a JSP view, but I just don't see
much value for PHP integration.

Sounds like CF isn't able to write to the appropriate configuration file, or

Oh I'm not knocking .NET integration. I'm sure that it helps a lot of 
folks. I'm just saying that I'd personally never use or buy a CFML 
server that was compiled in .NET. It's a personal fact, and I doubt I'm 
alone in that thought. That's all I was saying. ;)

I commend NewAtlanta for spearheading the CFML/.NET integration idea. 
It's interesting to me that Adobe is playing catch-up in this regard. NA 
is clearly an innovative company and I'm honored that they allow me to 
carry the brand of one of their products in my signature.

..NET just holds 0 interest or relevance for me.

Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page

2007-06-04 Thread Jordan Michaels
Simply because you personally immediately see the benefits of 
integrating PHP into CFML code, doesn't mean that the value is not 
there. It only means that you can't see it (yet).

Personally, I see a lot I could do with this. One example would be that 
I've been using CFEXECUTE in conjunction with command-line PHP for a 
while now in order to generate high-quality image thumbnails. The GD 
libraries that are included in PHP are far superior to anything I've 
ever seen from a Java environment. With this innovation - I can just 
write PHP code right in the middle of my CFML code to generate my 
thumbnails. No funky code separation with CFEXECUTE - and much simpler 
variable sharing. Previously I've had to pass variables via command line 
attributes. This method is much simpler.

  If you want to do PHP, use PHP.

Haha - I don't even know where to begin with this statement. Isn't using 
PHP the whole point? And why just use one language when I can combine 
them and leverage the advantages of each? Silly human. =P The power and 
freedom to choose is *always* a good thing.

OT: How best to represent this hierarchy of data

2007-06-04 Thread Will Tomlinson
I'm trying to replace a rigidly built db of data that includes divisions, which 
contains departments, which contains programs. 

I need my users to have the ability to build their own tiers of data. Ex. Some 
users might not even HAVE divisions. They might call it something entirely 
different, so this system should allow for that kind of flexibility. 

What I've come up with is adding 5 tables of data. 

tblTier1
-
tier1code  PK
tier1title
more fields
tier2code 

tblTier2
-
tier2code  PK
tier2title
more fields
tier3code

tblTier3
-
tier3code  PK
tier3title
more fields
tier4code

etc.. etc..

This would allow you to add a bottom tier of data. Then add a tier above 
containing codes from the tier just underneath, and so on. 

has anyone else tackled this? Are there better solutions?

Thanks,
Will

If I were you I would just use a single table with a parent_id concept.
That is how we store our contact manager information.  All companies,
departments, and contacts are all an entity and they can be nested n
levels deep.  We have an entity table with a type (contact, department,
company etc.) and a entity_id_parent column which points to the parent
record.  Records with a NULL parent at top level.

Depending on how many levels you have it can get tricky to figure out
ancestor or descendant relationships, but recursion lends itself nicely
to this kind of data.  The best part is it has no restrictions.

RE: How best to represent this hierarchy of data

2007-06-04 Thread Brad Wood
It's pretty simple, really.  This is a simplified version of how we
store our entities in contact manager which can be nested n levels deep.

dbo.enity
-
entity_id PK
entity_name
entity_type_id FK (entity_type.entity_type_id)
entity_id_parent FK (entity.entity_id)

dbo.entity_type
---
entity_type_id PK
entity_type_name 

The entity_type table stores all the possible types (company,
department, employee) and we store the corresponding id in the entity
table for normalization.  If you were view your data as a hierarchy,
each node would be represented by a record in the entity table where
each record's entity_id_parent value was the entity_id of it's parent
record.

Does that make sense?  I'm not entirely sure what you are storing, but
it sounds like you want to nest records in a hierarchy and have large
amount of flexibility without having to have a table for each level.

I do something similar and the nice thing is depending on the database being
used you can sometimes take advantage of the built in hierarchy features.
Oracle has some of these features and it makes it rather easy for pulling
things out of our hierarchy for display purposes.

Well, this innovation (thank you!) requires Java 6 so in terms of
Adobe ColdFusion, that means CF8 since CFMX 6.x and 7 are not
supported on Java 6. So if you're using CF8, you might just as well
use CF8's built-in - and very high quality - image manipulation tools.

Where I see this being useful is in taking existing PHP sites and
integrating them partially or wholly into ColdFusion. Or taking open
source PHP libraries and being able to use them with ColdFusion.

If people show enough interest - and I can get some dedicated
collaborators on the project - then it might be worth cracking open
the source of Quercus and wiring it more tightly into ColdFusion to
provide better native data support and library integration.

Mostly, however, I did it for fun.

Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page

Although I will point out that the way I've had to implement caching
and script compilation, each individual script block has to be single
threaded (although multiple *different* blocks can execute
concurrently). I'm being conservative here because I'm not sure of the
inner workings of the CompiledScript implementation in Quercus...

 2) The PHP apps automatically get the benefit of datasource connection
 pooling, clustering and all the other good things J2EE provides.

I haven't tried data source integration yet - that may require
cracking open the Quercus source and hacking it around some (to get
integration with ColdFusion). Remember that the ScriptEngine is
running outside of its native Servlet environment. It *may* work out
of the box (try it someone!) but it may well not.

 3) The PHP apps can integrate with Java objects and code.

Yes, and in the docs for running PHP in CF8, I show how PHP can
manipulate CF data structures (which are really just Java). That
aspect is definitely very powerful.

Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page

2007-06-04 Thread James Holmes
There are a number of reasons to run PHP from a J2EE server using
Quercus (as Sean's work does), rather than deploying PHP itself;

1) PHP should be run on a single threaded webserver, as some of the C
libraries used in PHP apps aren't thread safe. This means running
Apache 1, or Apache 2 in prefork mode. CF (for example) is quite happy
running in multithreaded configurations of Apache.

2) The PHP apps automatically get the benefit of datasource connection
pooling, clustering and all the other good things J2EE provides.

3) The PHP apps can integrate with Java objects and code.

Re: How best to represent this hierarchy of data

2007-06-04 Thread Mik Muller
At 08:54 PM 6/4/2007, you wrote:
If I were you I would just use a single table with a parent_id concept.
That is how we store our contact manager information.  All companies,
departments, and contacts are all an entity and they can be nested n
levels deep.  We have an entity table with a type (contact, department,
company etc.) and a entity_id_parent column which points to the parent
record.  Records with a NULL parent at top level.

Depending on how many levels you have it can get tricky to figure out
ancestor or descendant relationships, but recursion lends itself nicely
to this kind of data.  The best part is it has no restrictions.

~Brad


Also something to consider is a 'sortNum'

tblTier1
-
tier1code  PK
tier1title
[more fields]
tier2code / parentID
sortnum varchar(50) *


01
02
0201
020101
020102
0202
020201
03
04
0401
05
0501
050101
05010101
0501010101
050101010101
050101010102
0501010102
0501010103
0501010104
0501010105
050101010501
050101010502
05010102
05010103
0501010301
0501010302
0502
0503
06
07

Using like in your queries allows for all sorts of familial ancestry and 
descendants revelations. It may be a little redundant considering you've 
already got parentID, but for displaying deep descendantry quickly, it's pretty 
easy. Also it helps sort your entities. Moving them up and down can be tricky, 
though, especially when it involves a lot of children and siblings.

Boy, I'll tell you, that 05 entity was BUSY.

Mik

* I think 25 levels deep is probably enough, no? And up to 99 children per 
entity?
