onTap Framework 3.0 - p.s. I'm not dead
I've had several people contact me in the last couple months to inquire about the framework, which had been on something of a hiatus due to various circumstances on my end. So -- yes I'm still maintaining it, no I'm not dead. :) I just reset my subscription to the cf-talk list to receive emails signed up on RIAForge this week and set up a project there so Ray can host my SVN repository, etc. because I couldn't afford to maintain my dedicated server last year and had to let it go.

RE: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values

Adrian -Original Message- From: Dave Sent: 17 December 2007 22:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values We have have an issue here that I thought I had solved via locking and transactions, but it appears that the issue still exists.

Multiple users of the same client can obviously place orders simultaneously all drawing their base number from the same location.

If I'm understanding locking correctly, the exclusive named lock should prevent any other execution of that same code within the same application. The serialized transaction should restrict access to the tables required to that single transaction, again if I'm understanding it correctly. Also, if you're generating this Request number on a page before you actually submit to database, then a user clicking the submit multiple times would generate duplicate records with the same request number. Example: on Page A you generate the request number so you can display it to the user. Page A allows the user to confirm the creation process. When the user clicks the submit button, it goes to Page B which actually inserts the data into the database. If the user clicks the submit button multiple times it can create multiple requests. Are you ever storing this request number in any scope (Session, Form, Url, etc?) Also, are you absolutely positive your code is returning unique numbers? You're locking may be working, but if there's an error in the logic you could still produce duplicate request numbers. For example, let's say you were creating a number based upon the current date time stamp: cfset dtNow = dateFormat(now(), mmdd) timeFormat(now(), HHmmss) / cflock !--// insert unique number //-- /cflock By creating the dtNow number outside of the lock, I'm opening myself up to duplicate values.

RE: memory issues
Jonathon, Robi Sen has some excellent information on memory issues like you're experiencing: http://www.robisen.com/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=FD4BE2FC-55DC-F2B1-FED0717 CC1C7E0AF Are you using the default JRE? If so, you might consider upgrading to JRE SDK 1.4.2_13--which I believe is the most recent version that CF officially supports. Also, prior to CF8 the cffile / implementation for reading files was notoriously problematic when reading large files (although it should be ok on files from the 200K to 5MB range.) Java is just not really good with large strings--it's always been a weakness of the language. You might want to consider going straight to Java to read a file line-by-line (instead of the entire file.) Here's a UDF from CFlib that shows reading a file by line: http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=417enable=1 This might help you reduce the memory needed for each request. Lastly, make sure you're caching whatever results you can. If you're constantly parsing the same files over and over, just cache the results once you've generated them. There's no reason to keep doing expensive CPU operations if it's unnecessary. -Dan -Original Message- From: Jonathon Stierman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 10:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: memory issues An application of mine has recently been acting up -- memory has been shooting up at a fairly rapid pace this past week, and I'm at my wits end! Can't seem to find any way to fix it. Here's the symptoms: After rebooting the CF service, memory starts out at about 60mb for the jrun.exe process. After that all hell breaks loose ;) It continues to consume about 4 megs a minute until it plateau's at about 590mb. At that point, the server starts delivering 500 null errors, and my application/exception.log files fill up with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError messages. The site gets a couple hits a second, and those hits are fairly heavy in processing. Most involve file-reading and then parsing that file for the relevant data. I have downloaded a trial version of FusionReactor and got that set up on the system. If I'm reading it right, it looks like every request coming in is consuming large amounts of memory. I can understand why they'd take up lots of memory -- each one has to read a text file that is between 200k and 5 megs, and that seems to correlate with the memory jumps -- but why wouldn't that memory be released after the request is complete? It just keeps piling up. Is this to be expected from high volumes of file-reading/parsing requests? What advice can you give for getting some of that memory free and available? Server monitoring and tweaking is definitely not my forte -- any help and knowledge will be much appreciated! TIA! Oh -- incase the box info helps.

RE: QofQ insert
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I was just tring not to do a possible 1k db calls. Just tring to cut down on the network traffic. I will do a few test runs and see if there is enough of a performance improvement to not do the loop. Thanks Rodney -Original Message- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 4:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: QofQ insert I do not believe what you are looking for is possible. Depending on your DBMS you have a couple different options. Instead of creating a query object, perhaps you could re-factor your code to insert into a table variable in a cfquery tag and then to the insert from there. Another solution would be to serialize the query object into XML, and pass it into a proc or SQL statement where the XML could be parsed on the SQL server into a result set and do your insert from their. That would be pretty dependant on SQL Server 2000, or 2005 though. Why are you opposed to looping over the result set? If you are trying to avoid a performance problem, the methods above wouldn't be much better since they all involve looping at some level. You could at least try to minimalize locks open on the table by doing the insert all at once as opposed to one at a time. You could move the cfloop inside the cfquery and produce sql like such: Insert into table (col1, col2) (select 'foo1', 'bar1' Union all select 'foo2', 'bar2' Union all select 'foo3', 'bar3' Union all select 'foo'4, 'bar4') ~Brad -Original Message- ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:294991 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Using Mac Mini as web server
I'm going to be using a Mac Mini running Leopard as a local development and web server. I'm still in the process of getting it set up, and getting files transferred over to it. Last night I went to put some files from my PC over to the Mini and it said that it couldn't connect. It didn't even give me a login screen. So I clicked over to the Mini on my KVM switch and the Mini was asleep. I woke it up, and all of a sudden I could connect to it from the PC. So my question is, will this happen everytime the Mac goes to sleep? How can I prevent this from happening? I need for the Mini to be always on as my wife and I will both be using the file server for access. I don't ever want to have to manually wake up the Mini, and I would prefer to have my login stored for as long as the Mini is running. If it gets restarted, then that's one thing, but I don't want to have to login each time I try to connect to it. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values
cflock name=#session.st#ProcessLock timeout=20 type=exclusive I'm taking a bit of a guess here, but I think your name may be the problem. I'm assuming that by having a session variable in the name, each user will have a different name for the lock. Named locks are only locked from blocks with the same name. If each user is getting a unique name, then the block will not be locked between users. That is my understanding of locks at least. If this is the case, you want a single, discreet name for the lock so that all users use the same named lock and thus can only use the block of code one at a time, which I believe is your requirement. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:294999 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: memory issues
but why wouldn't that memory be released after the request is complete? Where is this data being stored? Is there code to clear the data? I.E. If the application makes use of session variables for the data, it is not going to be cleared until after the session times out. That is twenty minutes by default but is often defined to be longer. If one is getting two hits a second averaging 2 megs a hit that is ~4,800 megs or 4.8 gigs of accumulated memory in even twenty minutes before the first request start timing out to be cleared. At this point, I think an investigation of the application and how it uses and releases memory is in order. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295004 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: memory issues
Using 1.4.2_12-b03. Not sure if that's the default JRE or not. I'll look into Robi's blog post. A line-by-line file reader could definitely help -- The idea being I'd only save into memory one line at a time and only keep the lines I want to display to the user. I hadn't thought of that solution! As far as caching -- after I left the office last night, I had the idea that might be part of the problem rather than the solution. I didn't remember the caching part until last night, but here's the jist of how it works: 1. User logs in and requests a file. 2. Application reads file, and builds a Query object out of it. Every line of the file is saved to the Query. 3. A SELECT statement is performed on the Query to only get the relevant data for that user (cached for 30 minutes) 4. Results of SELECT shown to user The caching was added to speed up the processing on that page, but I'm wondering if it's causing my memory issues. Assuming the Query object is probably about the same size as the file the user reads, then I'd be caching the 200kb-5mb for every user. Sounds great for CPU/speed performance, but not so good for memory conservation. Am I off my rocker, or could this be the culprit?

RE: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values
Dan, We only create the requisition number prior or to the actual order placement in very specific circumstances and store it in a structure in the session scope, but those numbers are not being duplicated due to the very nature of the hows and whys. Only the numbers generated at the time of the order are having this issue. I see what you are saying about the multiple submits, but the exclusive named lock should be preventing the code that is generating the number from running more than once in the application at any given time. This should end up creating duplicate orders, but not duplicate request numbers. The generation of the number is where we are getting our duplicate values, but the logic around the generation of the number is fairly simple: Query the database for the next value Add a prefix or suffix and formatting depending on customer preference Increment and update the value in the database There are two clients that are generating part of the number in a Julian date format where we have done some manipulation to handle duplicate numbers. This is, however, happening across multiple higher volume clients. The simple read, increment, update clients are producing duplicate numbers from within a named exclusive lock inside a serialized transaction. I replied to an earlier request to include the lock/transaction block. All of this takes place within that block. Dave -Original Message- From: Dan G. Switzer, II [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 8:20 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values Dave, Also, if you're generating this Request number on a page before you actually submit to database, then a user clicking the submit multiple times would generate duplicate records with the same request number. Example: on Page A you generate the request number so you can display it to the user. Page A allows the user to confirm the creation process. When the user clicks the submit button, it goes to Page B which actually inserts the data into the database. If the user clicks the submit button multiple times it can create multiple requests. Are you ever storing this request number in any scope (Session, Form, Url, etc?) Also, are you absolutely positive your code is returning unique numbers? You're locking may be working, but if there's an error in the logic you could still produce duplicate request numbers. For example, let's say you were creating a number based upon the current date time stamp: cfset dtNow = dateFormat(now(), mmdd) timeFormat(now(), HHmmss) / cflock !--// insert unique number //-- /cflock By creating the dtNow number outside of the lock, I'm opening myself up to duplicate values.

CFLOCATION, but with a form
Hello folks, As I understand it, cflocation sends a redirect to the browser, navigating it to a new page, potentially including url parameters. Is there any way to do a similar thing, but emulating a form, so passed parameters can be kept out of the url? Only thing I can think of is to render an actual html form, along with javascript to submit it. Is there an alternative?

Re: memory issues
Am I off my rocker, or could this be the culprit? If you are storing .2 to 5mb of data per user for an unknown period of time, yes you are using a lot of memory. You have entered the relm of serious design where trade offs between file reads versus memory versus cpu time have to be weighed and considered. For a lot of sites there is more computing power in a modern server then the application will ever need. But when you are dealing with one as larger as yours this is not true and you the developer now have to consider the ramifications of code design. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295012 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

RE: Exclusive locks still producing duplicate values
cflock name=#session.st#ProcessLock timeout=20 type=exclusive I'm taking a bit of a guess here, but I think your name may be the problem. I'm assuming that by having a session variable in the name, each user will have a different name for the lock. Named locks are only locked from blocks with the same name. If each user is getting a unique name, then the block will not be locked between users. That is my understanding of locks at least. If this is the case, you want a single, discreet name for the lock so that all users use the same named lock and thus can only use the block of code one at a time, which I believe is your requirement. The fact that the lock is given a name based upon a session variable is definitely a problem--that only guarantees that the locked code won't run for sessions where the variable session.st is identical. I'm guessing that variable is unique per session. Also, just because you lock code calling the ReqNumbering.cfc component, the code in that component is not necessarily locked. That means if RegNumbering.cfc is called from other places outside of this locked code, it would run unlocked. -Dan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295018 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Changing JRE to 1.5
Hi, This is a double post -- sorry -- but while I'd like to get it out on CF-Talk, this issue has been discussed more specifically on the Transfer list. So I'm sending to both, knowing that many of you will get duplications. I apologize. There's been a lot of discussion lately, including blog entries by Sean Corfield and Mark Mandel, regarding the class loading problem in Java 1.6, installed by default in Windows versions of CF8. The suggestion has been to switch to Java 1.5, editing CF's jvm.config file. I'm trying to do just that, but without success. And I'd appreciate any advice. I downloaded Java 1.5.0_14 to my server and allowed the installer to place it in its default location, within the C:\Program Files\Java directory. I then changed jvm.config as follows: I changed this line: java.home=C:/ColdFusion8/runtime/jre to this: java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.5.0_14 After doing so, the CF service would not restart. The bin directory seems to be in the correct place. Files seem okay. The one difference I noted is that in C:/ColdFusion8/runtime/jre/bin, there is a server directory, with its own jvm.dll. This directory does not seem to exist either within the 1.5.9_14/bin directory OR within the Java/jre1.6.0_03/bin directory. The latter is not the version used by the default CF installation (the one there seems to be 1.6.0_01), but one might think it would have the same structure. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295020 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: memory issues
1. User logs in and requests a file. 2. Application reads file, and builds a Query object out of it. Every line of the file is saved to the Query. 3. A SELECT statement is performed on the Query to only get the relevant data for that user (cached for 30 minutes) 4. Results of SELECT shown to user The caching was added to speed up the processing on that page, but I'm wondering if it's causing my memory issues. Assuming the Query object is probably about the same size as the file the user reads, then I'd be caching the 200kb-5mb for every user. Sounds great for CPU/speed performance, but not so good for memory conservation. Am I off my rocker, or could this be the culprit? A query object of a text file I'm sure would use more memory than just the text file stored as a string. It also depends on how much of the cached queries contents you're keeping around (you indicated that your doing a QoQ and caching those results.) That caching could definitely be the cause of the problem. I'd recommend poking around your application and session scopes to see just how much data you're actually caching. Check out this post by Steve Brownlee: http://www.fusioncube.net/?p=66 The section labeled All ColdFusion Sessions shows you how can get to all the sessions on the server. I believe one of the associated SessionTracker classes has a method that will actually allow you to determine the memory being used by a session (but that may only be in CF8.) -Dan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295022 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

But if i refresh a second time it renders ok. Any user seeing hte page sees it fine because they're not refreshing the page with some changes. I'm not sure it's anything you can eiher control or need to worry about. I fretted about it a lot on my site before i realised that it doesnt really happen in a real world situation.

RE: memory issues
Thanks again Dan Ian for keeping with me here! Much love for that Steve Brownlee link -- I've been wanting a way to see all Sessions stored on an application by application basis, and it looks like that's the object I was looking for (createObject(java,coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker))! Ian -- Definitely agree with you on the trade-offs. What I've been pondering recently is whether I ought to just sidestep the problem caused by heavy file-reading. Convert those text files into database records on upload, and then rely on SQL to do the heavy lifting for me. Sure, it'll take a little longer for the upload to process, but after that it would be relatively smooth sailing. The files come in to the application, and never need to be modified or passed out to an external application, so I've got pretty much free reign on what I do with them. I think an intial SQL import on upload, and then SQL SELECTS will make my life (and hopefully the servers') much easier.

A lot more effort then you or I are ever going to have. Good database management systems have the capability to directly import structured text files.

RE: memory issues
I will second that, the one thing (and yes I will include me on this one) is that even though the Garbage collection does a good job. Under heavy load it is not smart enough to know what we want when we want it. And it is a trap that most do not think about. So in the old days of allocating memory in C/C++, it is also a good idea to destroy a variable as soon as it is no longer needed. I am not saying all, but at least in cases like this. I'm not exactly sure what you're recommending here, but deleting variables in CF doesn't cause the value to be removed from memory. It simply removes the reference to the value from the stack, making the value available for garbage collection. I'm not sure whether deleting a variable within a page will allow it to be garbage collected before the page has finished, or not, but in any event it's relatively unlikely that garbage collection will run frequently enough to make a difference.

Re: OT: Need a Javascript Wizard...
When a checkbox is checked, its value needs to be passed to a hidden form field (it will become a comma seperated list). When it is unchecked, it needs to be removed from the list. Well, you don't actually need any Javascript to do that. Just give the same name to all your checkboxes, and the value passed to CF unde that name will be the list of all values for those which are checked. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

What I'm looking for is just like that, but navigating the browser to that submitted pg. Dave Merrill I am not seeing how this mechanism would work. You want the server to build a request for the client so that the client ends up somewhere else by submitting a form post? This sounds like a mixing of the server/client - request/response schema. cflocation... generates a response to the client request. This is a response (HTTP status 301 IIRC) that the client recognizes. Most browsers then handle this response by sending a new request to the suggested location. But of course they do not have to do this. There are no responses that I know of that suggests the browser to make a new form post request. I have done something like this in the ancient past (10 years ago) by building an HTML form with a JavaScript auto-submit that is sent to the browser. Of course this may not be looked on too friendly in todays environment and would be easily defeated. Bottom line: NO I know of no way to do this and it does not make sense to me from a client/server perspective. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295052 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: memory issues
It'd definitely be nice to get everything database-driven. That would save me some headaches. But keeping with the same train of thought here. I reduced the caching timeout from 30 minutes down to 1 minute -- I hoped to see my memory start clearing up fairly quickly: cfquery name=#queryName# dbtype=query cachedwithin=#createTimeSpan(0,0,1,0)# SQL /cfquery Most users on the site don't stick around for longer than 1 minute, so I'm not worried about users having to do another lookup. And while it definitely seems to slow down the memory consumption rate, it still doesn't appear to be freeing up any RAM. I did some test runs, loading some of the larger files. I saw the corresponding RAM increase, but never seeing that memory released. I plan on converting it all to being database-driven, but I'm still confused as to why this memory isn't being released. Are the Queries being eliminated, but not removed from memory just yet? Is there a way to force garbage collection while CF is running so that I could test this theory?

RE: memory issues
Jonathon, And while it definitely seems to slow down the memory consumption rate, it still doesn't appear to be freeing up any RAM. I did some test runs, loading some of the larger files. I saw the corresponding RAM increase, but never seeing that memory released. I plan on converting it all to being database-driven, but I'm still confused as to why this memory isn't being released. Are the Queries being eliminated, but not removed from memory just yet? Is there a way to force garbage collection while CF is running so that I could test this theory? Just because you're not using the memory, it doesn't mean that Java will free it up immediately. Since Garbage Collection is an expensive CPU operation, it tries to do the GC as infrequently as possible by default. You can think of Java and its Garbage Collection sort of like the Windows Recycling Bin. Just because you delete a file and put it in the Recycling Bin, it doesn't actually free up disk space right away. The file is in the Recycling Bin and still takes up disk space. Windows will eventually remove the files and reclaim the disk space when it needs to based upon your Recycling Bin settings. -Dan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295060 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

'The selected method functionName was not found.' error.
So I've recently become a temporary maintainer of some ColdFusion CMS software at work, which I'm definitely not ready for, so forgive my idiocy. Anyway, I'm having a problem with a 'The selected method functionName was not found.' error. The extended error info is: 'Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the method getRootIDofChildPage is overloaded with arguments types that ColdFusion can't decipher reliably.

RE: CFLOCATION, but with a form
Ian, that's exactly what I was looking for, a server response that asks the browser to submit a form, the form analog of what cflocation does. It doesn't surprise me that no such thing exists. Dave Merrill -Original Message- From: Ian Skinner Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 3:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFLOCATION, but with a form Semi-relevant: cfhttp can submit a form with specified data to a specified url, but the whole thing happens on the server, without the browser relocating anywhere. What I'm looking for is just like that, but navigating the browser to that submitted pg. Dave Merrill I am not seeing how this mechanism would work. You want the server to build a request for the client so that the client ends up somewhere else by submitting a form post? This sounds like a mixing of the server/client - request/response schema. cflocation... generates a response to the client request. This is a response (HTTP status 301 IIRC) that the client recognizes. Most browsers then handle this response by sending a new request to the suggested location. But of course they do not have to do this. There are no responses that I know of that suggests the browser to make a new form post request. I have done something like this in the ancient past (10 years ago) by building an HTML form with a JavaScript auto-submit that is sent to the browser. Of course this may not be looked on too friendly in todays environment and would be easily defeated. Bottom line: NO I know of no way to do this and it does not make sense to me from a client/server perspective. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295068 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Multple CFWINDOWS - cannot identify
Hello, I am trying to move our Intranet app to use CFWINDOWs. One of the
things I would like to do is migrate over time. This being the case, I want
to make a routine that saves the X and Y coordinates of a window to a
cookie, so that on the next page load the CFWINDOW is created in the same
position it was at. This gives the impression to the user that the Windows
are persistant. I have this successfully working with ONE window.
I run into problems with more than one window because there seems to be no
way to check for the existence of a certain window by name, or to extract
the name of whatever window passed the move event. I am running into is that
I need to get the name of the Window (or some other identifying
characteristic) so that I know which cookie to write to. Unfortunately NAME
does not seem to be exposed. Here is my JavaScript code (called via
AJAXOnLoad):
moveListener = function()
{
if (ColdFusion.Window != null)
{
var w =
ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject('todayAtWindow');
w.on('move',setCoordsTODAYAT,w);
w.on('hide',closeWindowTODAYAT,w);
}
setCoordsTODAYAT = function(ob,x,y)
{
Set_Cookie('TODAYATWINDOW_X', x, 10, '/', '', '');
Set_Cookie('TODAYATWINDOW_Y', y, 10, '/', '', '');
}
closeWindowTODAYAT = function(ob)
{
Set_Cookie('TODAYATWINDOW_SHOW', false, 10, '/', '', '');
}
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm coming into this on the tail end, so I didn't see the original message. I wouldn't recommend Access for anything that will be used in production, particularly now that SQL Sever Express (2005 lite) is available. Back when it wasn't available I designed my SQL Abstraction library to work with Access (along with MySQL, SQL Server Oracle). So if for some reason you had problems installing one of the other 3, if you were using the onTap framework (or something like it) that abstracts the database access and were pretty monogamous about not using ad-hoc queries, then you could use an MS Access database locally for minimal development and testing to create a proof of concept and all your code would then still work for the other databases. But I agree that you really wouldn't want to use an Access database beyond the larval stages. I personally prefer using SQL 2005 on my notebook. The new SQL Server Management Studio that replaced Enterprise Manager + Query Analyzer is imo in some ways a step back from the older tools in spite of some minor improvements to the interface. Still, at least for my purposes it seems easier to manage than MySQL. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295075 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Could you post the TSQL for your stored procedure and/or the cfstoredproc tags your using to fetch that query? ike -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295079 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

I would look at those divs and work them in one by one to find the one that is causing the problem.. Hopefully someone will see this and add it as a bug to cfdocument.

Re: data not outputting correctly
I'll do that tomorrow when I get to work. Cannot access the SQL Server from home. Oh, and it is good to see you back Issac. Thanks Bruce. I always figure when I'm replying after 6pm that there's a good chance there'll be that 12hr delay. :) -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295082 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CFDOCUMENT creating a PDF - Getting Somewhere..
OK, this is *sorta* working... Let's look at real files for a second: Here's a .cfm page. Ignore the low resolution header graphic. This is also probably IE 7 only compatable at this point too (it's the only browser the suits use...) Watch the wrap : http://www.nelsonmullins.com/TOMBSTONES/index.cfm?action=cmf.makeMAPDFpdfID=EFAA15B9-B6FE-F54D-A4446D9E2853DBCE OK, the cards stack left to right and then wrap to the next row. After X number of cards, there would be a page break and a small header that would show up on any subsequent pages on the PDF. According to the docs, I can program the damn cfdocument tag to do this. Yea, right. Let's take the *same* file as above, and simply add cfdocument format=pdf and nothing else: http://www.nelsonmullins.com/TOMBSTONES/index.cfm?action=cmf.makeMAPDFTESTpdfID=EFAA15B9-B6FE-F54D-A4446D9E2853DBCE Hmmm - background images for each card have covered the text? Interesting. It's a start though. This seems to be *way* more buggy and picky than the docs indicate, huh? Anybody got ideas about background images here? The project manager for this is *really* picky about the layouts. If I'm one freaking pixel off somewhere, I get yelled at. I'm beginning to have my doubts about the PDF stuff at this point. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295083 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
