Error creating dir with period/full stop in CF8 and IIS
Hey all, got a bit of a weird one here. Running the following, CF8 on Win2K Server with IIS. Creating a new dir with a period/full stop and an index.cfm file causes a 403 when accessing the file. Running the following will highlight this: New folder Just run it at home on CF7 with Apache and CF8 on the built in CF server on Win XP Pro and it works. Any ideas about why this won't work? Is it an IIS problem maybe? I'm stumped and I'm still searching the google machine!

RE: "Dynamic" CSS
I just use a .cfm as my dynamic stylesheets and use at the top. Then you just call it the same way you would a normal .css You can use all the CF you want in it now. It will be up to you to decide what is global and 'static' though for performance sake. I would have a main.css that has all the style info that is global and static then use the .cfm method only for those dynamic needs and use a separate when that dynamic info is needed If it is just a couple classes/IDs then I would just put them all in a static style and use CF to decide which class to call. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Error Casting an Object.
I've been trying for quite some time now to figure out why I'm getting this error: Error casting an object of type to an incompatible type. This usually indicates a programming error in Java, although it could also mean you have tried to use a foreign object in a different way than it was designed. I've seen it on a number of other forums including Ben Nadel's. I've tried the JavaCast function but it doesn't seem to help :( Here's a sample: #Insert_Value1# Based upon some dynamically generated form fields, this actually displays the value as text when I dump it to the screen, but when I try to insert the value it into the database four lines below this code, I get the above generated error... any thoughts?

Re: Odd database behavior: duplicate key error
You probably have a race condition, where two people execute the code
at the "same time", and the order goes like this:
A - delete
B - delete
A - insert
B - insert
In this case, you'd expect the fourth statement (the second insert) to
throw the dupe key exception.

Odd database behavior: duplicate key error
Hey all,
In an inherited application, we have the following pseudo-code - two
queries, one right after the other:
DELETE FROM table
WHERE ID = '#myidstring#'
INSERT INTO table
(ID)
VALUES
('#myidstring#')
Given this scenario, it would seem that you could never have a duplicate key
error, since you are deleting any rows with the string in question, before
trying to do an insert. However, occasionally this throws a "duplicate key"
error.
Is it possible that somehow the insert occasionally runs before the delete?
Do I need to use cftransaction to ensure the proper order of execution here?

Better to ask CF to render multiple files than have to manage multiple

Among the many other options, another method that would not involve using
CFML to generate the CSS is this:
* Create a base CSS which has all the CSS rules you want in it.
* For each set of color variations, create a new CSS file. In this you'll
want to place CSS rules to just overwrite the colors you need overwritten.
* Load the base CSS file first
* Then right after, load the correct CSS file that overwrites the colors for
that style.
Using this method all the core CSS rules (that set position, font styling,
etc) are in one place. The additional CSS files you contain would just
contain rules to overwrite the colors.
For example:
default.css
h1 {
margin: 0px;
font: Arial;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cc;
}
--- style_red.css ---
h1 {
border-color: #ff;
}
--- style_green.css ---
h1 {
border-color: #00ff00;
}
--- style_blue.css ---
h1 {
border-color: #ff;
}
Now if you load the CSS files like:
--- Example 1 ---
Grey Border
--- Example 2 ---
Red Border
Depending on which "style_*.css" file you load, you can change just the key
aspects of the CSS to support style.
The nice thing about this method is you don't have to push another file
through the CFML engine. If you push CSS files through the CFML engine, that
means for every page request a browser is going to need at least 2 CF
threads.
You could create a script to generate static versions of the style_*.css
files if you wanted to generate those files automatically based upon data in
the database.

Re: "Dynamic" CSS
I can think of several different ways to handle this. 1) Process .css files. Bad plan -- it eats resources processing what should be static files. B) Put the static classes in one file, and the changing ones in css files that are dynamically linked. Three) Put the static classes in one file, and link to a second file that's a cfm page. The CSS files don't have to be named *.css, remember. HTH. --BenD Bruce Sorge wrote: > Good morning everyone. > I have a question.

RE: "Dynamic" CSS
What I do is dynamically set an ID in the body tag.
So, if I have the following class:
div.main {...}
I can add the color by setting
#typeA div.main {background-color:#xx;}
Repeat for each color:
#typeB div.main {background-color:#xx;}
#typeC div.main {background-color:#xx;}
#typeD div.main {background-color:#xx;}
#typeE div.main {background-color:#xx;}

Good morning everyone.
I have a question. I am working on our school's websites and rather than
have 12 different style sheets, I would like to have one style sheet that
has three classes where the background-color attribute is dynamic. So how
would I go about doing this? Now I can create a css.cfm page and load the
colors into the database, making sure that the proper school ID is
associated with their respective colors, but I thought that I might be able
to use the .css page instead.

Re: Odd behavior when using cfform inside a CFC
You could try dumping the variables scope of the CFC to see if cfform is putting something in there. But whatever the problem is, I'm pretty sure it must be related to the fact that the CFC is being stored in a shared scope. Does switching to a per-request CFC allow the JavaScript to work correctly? While I don't recommend doing it in general, you might also see if doing a cfinclude of a template that contains the cfform tags makes a difference.

Report Builder - Is there really no "can grow" feature?
Hello, Does Report Builder have a "can grow" / "can shrink" feature in either version 7 or 8 that we can't find? We're issuing news releases as pdf files via report builder. The body of the report has one field - "content" that may have one page worth of text, or it may have more. If it has two pages worth of text, but we have set the field size to less than the length of one page, the 2nd page of the news release gets cut off because there is no "can grow" feature that we can find. If we extend the field size to beyond the length of the page, thereby extending it to two pages, the second page automatically gets printed regardless of whether there is no text to print or not because there's no "can shrink" feature! And CFDocument can't be used because it cannot render images through a firewall. And so I ask again :-), does Report Builder have a can grow / can shrink feature in either version 7 or 8?

Re: charting solution for using with CF

If you receive proper HTML that has a distinction between structure and layout the images for formatting will only be referenced from the CSS and the images for content will be referenced from the HTML. If you do not receive proper HTML there is no way to distinguish between images embedded for structure and images embedded for layout. But you can still distinguish between embedded and attached images, the one is multipart/related and the other multipart/mixed. > E-mails could be coming in from a variety of different users and different > e-mail clients.

RE: Odd behavior when using cfform inside a CFC
Well, this really is just a wild guess, but maybe it's worth trying re-instantiating the CFC on every request. CFFORM could be stashing some state in that CFC.

Re: Odd behavior when using cfform inside a CFC
Jaime interesting question, and yes, the CFC in this case is stored in the session scope. Andrew ... for a lot of reasons, I chose to have the "view" layer implemented in a CFC. The application is set up such that a user creates their own templates, and then uses keywords inside those templates which are equivalent to various widgets, etc. For example, the user might put the following into their template, which is stored in the database: %title% other stuff some header and formatting stuff %blog_entry% some footer and formatting stuff All of the above is stored in the database. When the page is actually executed, the OnRequest in application CFC looks something like this: #APPLICATION.PG.RENDER(TEMPLATE, REQUEST.RQ)# So this calls a function that determines which of those templates to use, then renders it, calling the correct routines on the fly. So basically all of the content in any given user website is driven by the render method in the page processing CFC. I ended up building it this way because the app was a nightmarish chaos of code before. While I appreciate the suggestion to separate out the page processing into CFM templates, I've just spent about six months undoing that, so it's not really an option at this point. That said, the "view" CFCs are separated out from the business logic, but yes, it's completely CFC driven. I don't have any CFM templates in the entire app. > > Also, I know that was only pseudocode, but given that "var" is a > reserved > word it looks a bit dodgy.

And if you think it is bad now, just wait until you run it under load. The total number of UUIDs created per second is independent of the number of threads or processors, but fixed at some multiple of the number of clock ticks per second Java has on your platform. > Does anyone have any suggestions to reliably replace CreateUUID() for > performance but still remain unique? Thread names do not have to be unique, they only have to be unique for the request. Using something like name="t#request.threadcounter++#" should work just fine.

It isn't really unchangeable, you just have to edit neo-runtime.xml by hand to change it. What I prefer to do is move /cfide/ directly under /cfusion.war/ (outside the IIS webroot) and add a mapping of /cfide/* to the FileServlet in web.xml and it works automagically for every website that is tied to the JRun instance with the wildcard adapter. (Use the FileServlet so other filetypes work too, the CfmServlet will take precedence when a .cfm or .cfc template is requested based on the suffix mapping.)
