Hi, i'm using an xslt file that loads my page - which does not use a body. The problem i have is that everytime i open the page the focus is on the submit button. I don't really want that - where i just want no focus when the page opens up. I geuss a javascript is needed but i also dont have a body tag! Any ideas! Please assist!

CFLDAP problem
I'm having a difficult time with a client's LDAP server. I'm using the routine 2-query CFLDAP auth scheme that first confirms the username on the nameserver using admin creds, then matches the username and password using the user's creds. The code works fine on multiple other instances. But I can't query one client's LDAP server beyond matching the username via the filter. When I add the password, even without any other attributes as filter="(unicode_Pwd=#FORM.userlogin#)", the query won't execute. I can't query at all via basic security / port 636, and using the unsecured default port acts as above. I am also unable to match on attributes their admin swears are correct. I can pull some (e.g. cn, firstName, givenName) but not others (e.g. samaccountName). And I'm at the limits of my CFLDAP experience and knowledge. The client seems not to have anyone with expert knowledge of their LDAP server. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! David -- Want an e-mail address like mine?

Re: How accurate is IP address / Geocode lookup?
From what I understand, it's usually the ISP. However, it is often the last hop before the actual client, so it would only be inaccurate if, say, the person was in TN and the ISP was in KY. That said, at my last job, we were in KY, and we showed up as in (I think) PA, since that was where the router for static IPs was. Alltel was our ISP, IIRC. So it's a good approximation, but I would not rely on it for calculating sales tax. :-) --Doom Jeff Chastain wrote: > I have a client that is looking to ascertain the state ( or country if not > US based ) of the current visitor to their web site.

Re: How accurate is IP address / Geocode lookup?
I don't know what your idea of accurate is and I've never tested a large enough sample size to be sure, but I say it's not accurate. I say this because when I checked my IP address, it said I was in NJ. Grabbed another IP and it showed PA. I'm in MD. I checked a friends IP and it nailed him to his town.

How accurate is IP address / Geocode lookup?
I have a client that is looking to ascertain the state ( or country if not US based ) of the current visitor to their web site. One possibility has been to use their IP address and a geocode lookup, which I have never done before. So, how accurate is doing a geocode lookup based upon IP? Does it really give the user's location or more often the ISP's location? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Re: An effort to make cold fusion 8 standard edition more efficient
So, use the CF8 components for rapid prototyping. Refactor with straight Ext for final app, optimizing what you need when you need it, and packed in any fashion you find appropriate. You said that App memory load with FckEditor was 1338k? I'm guessing you mean your client side memory load on your browser? And that you mean 'load', not the amount of data transferred across the wire? OK, so what's the problem? Have you seen how much memory Word or Excel or something takes? Right this moment, on my desktop, Outlook is using 68000k, Eclipse:237700, and Thunderbird: 156000. 400k is negligible.

Not all that far-out for those of us who've worked with Fusedocs for example. There's a similar XML dialect called SPEC that I created & used for documenting functions and such in the onTap framework, though the dialect itself was designed with the intention of being independent of the language or framework, so you could use SPEC to document Java (or create SPEC docs from JavaDocs) if you wanted.

I am getting no results when I run the below code - but I know they are a memember of the "Students" group. Any ideas appreciated.

Unfortunately, the answer is the usual: "it depends." Certainly, it depends on your application(s). And to some extent, it may depend on who you talk to. The issues Mark refers to are easily seen if you're using a lot of framework stuff, and in particular, with Transfer. There's a lot of class loading going on, and that can kill the performance. I ran into the issue in deploying a client site, and we went through two hosting services before Mark and Sean Corfleld blogged about this problem, and we realized it wasn't the host's fault. There was a fair amount of discussion about the problem on the Transfer list. On the other hand, many people (including, of course, Adobe), say that it's the combination of CF8 and Java 1.6 that provides the huge performance gains shown in Adobe's benchmarking for CF8. So evidently, in most CF non-framework-driven applications, the issue is overcome by other performance gains. When I ran into the problem, I discussed it with a contact I have at CrystalTech, and they actually discussed the issue with Adobe. As Mark suggests, both Adobe and Sun are aware of the problem. Sun just hasn't fixed the bug yet. But CrystalTech (and other hosting services I've talked to) are not willing to downgrade the Java version because it will hurt performance for many/most of their customers. In my case, I moved to a VPS where I was free to change the Java version, and it made a gigantic difference. Of course, the VPS made a difference in a lot of other ways. So how much of a problem the Java bug is -- or whether it's a problem for you at all -- depends very much on your situation. -- 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:300104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

But I'm also of two minds on the issue: While I wouldn't use such a feature (for all the reasons already stated) some people clearly might. In the end consistency and workability is more important to me. If this guy finds this useful and, most importantly, is consistent with his usage then great. Anything that lets us remember what the hell we were thinking a year later can't be all bad. ;^) Of course there are other considerations. I think the most important one is "are you inflicting this system on others?" If so, and they DON'T understand then your consistency means nothing - you must be consistent within your workgroup for anything like this to truly work. I've actually gone further and created my own comment tag and parsing engine for CFC development... probably "worse" that this to many people but it works wonders for me and allows me to self-document my code pretty darn well. In any case any documentation, whether it's via strict comments, code markup, naming conventions, etc is definately more good than bad. But it only works really when everybody involved works together.

Re: OT - URL Rewriting, how many rules?
mod_rewrite is a drop in a bucket compared to the ocean of a JEE stack, let alone one with CF on it. Using .htaccess is going to be more of a performance penalty, because of all the extra per-request file IO. Unless you have a compelling reason (like shared hosting), you should put all your config in the main config files. If you want to version your rewriting config with your app (usually what you want), then use an Include directive instead of .htaccess. I've used hundrends (maybe thousands?) of rewrite rules with no issue and used rewrite maps with thousands of entries, both with no discernible performance penalty.

Re: JRun Clustering problem - Instance shutting down
Right here's hoping that this doesn't start another thread as this is getting embrassing!!! That second set are logs are obviously related to the drop of the instance and JRun starting to hand the sessions across to the other server. Not very helpful but still more information I can work on. Yes you're right we do have another instance on that server and yeah it is strange that out of four instances only one is failing. Or what I should say is that the vast majority of fails are coming from there, we do get a few others "here and there" but nothing worth highlighting as an issue and related to this. We're going to move the code from the other instance over to this one in the hope that this might fix it. The idea being that we might have a mismatch somewhere that is causing a problem so this would eliminate it this. Stab in the dark really though :-(. Don't know about the shared VM side of things, I'll need to ask the System's guys about that one but again that kind of opens up the field to anything while we've definately got a lead with the JRun logs at the moment.

RE: JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down"
Interesting. I've got to give credit to someone at Macromedia for using the work "breakage". :) Well, it seems clear that IIS and the JRun connector are losing contact with the instance and subsequently removing it from the cluster. What we don't know is why. Did I understand that you have at least one other CF instance on the same physical box which does not experience this problem? That would rule out OS and general connectivity problems. I think you said it was on a VM. Is that instance along on the VM, or are there more than one instance on that VM. I don't know where to tell you to go from here. Maybe someone else will chime in with an idea. Just ignore my comment about the "dedicated IIS box". For some reason I had gotten it in my head that you had a separate physical server for IIS. I guess I've got the load-balancing diagram stuck in my head that was posted yesterday on the list. :) ~Brad -Original Message- From: James Buckingham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 9:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down" The log file was from the failing instance.

cffile and security
Good Morning, I have been working with cffile for the first time and in the process, read several places that you should upload files to a temp location outside your webroot for security reasons. My original problem was with trying to eliminate spaces from file names...so now this is the process I'm using...upload to a temp file, remove spaces and replace with _ then move the file (code below) My question is, why do I have to go to a temp file first and is this secure in it's final version/location? Also, how do I deal with naming conflicts...does move allow for the same options as upload...rename, overwrite ect.? It doesn't seem to allow for a result struc. select jobfoldername from jobs where jobId = #session.jobId# ~| 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:300085 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: SOT - SQL Union Problem
I'm not an SQL guru, so take this with a grain of salt: You could do a join on table1.firstname=table2.firstname and table1.firstname = table2.lastname to get all the results that match. You could union this to two unioned selects where there's an entry in table1 but not table2 and vice versa. You'll have to select empty strings for the columns that are only present in one or the other table. This should give you a result set where you either have the addresses from one, or the other, or both. You can make display (or further processing) decisions based on that. --Ben Doom Mark Henderson wrote: > OK, so that was working, and those are the only two fields I want to > union on, which is fine.

RE: JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down"

Re: Prevent users from voting twice.
Well ask yourself at what level would you like to be uniquely identified when visiting any website? I certainly don't want them to know my MAC address. Have a look at the cfcookie tag. Also be aware that cfcookie cannot be used with cflocation. The concept with cookies is : 1) Landing page checks that there is no "votemade" cookie set. Sets a "cansetcookies" cookie and redirects to voting page. 2) Voting page checks for the "cansetcookies" (redirects to the we use cookies page" and that "votemade" is not set. 3) Vote is made and on the thank you page the "votemade" cookie is set.

RE: Signature Capture
Just a note for future searchers- I am still looking into the PDF solution, but I found something that might do the trick. I am using the applet mentioned and linked below to collect a signature. It will basically hand out a series of coordinates representing the signature. These coordinates can be saved in the database and easily reconstituted using CF 8's image manipulation functions (ImageDrawLines(myImage,x,y)) to recreate the coordinates as an image which can be rolled into a PDF, printed, whatever...

Prevent users from voting twice.
The problem with using IPs or cookies to assure only one vote is that you're not assuring only one person vote, by one machine vote. When a machine is in a shared environment (school labs, libraries, one machine for a family), that machine will only get one vote. If that's fits your audience then that's okay. I've often wondered if then I should replace any vote with a new vote. In other words, make the most recent vote the one that is kept, rather than the first vote. Otherwise, you could have them enter an email address, which is closer to unique though still shared at times. Or log in using a unique id. -- Daniel Kessler University of Maryland College Park School of Public Health 3302E HHP Building College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://sph.umd.edu ~| 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:300067 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Prevent users from voting twice.
Okay, got it. Thank you. Yeah, I was wondering if IPs were not going to work...but didn't know that they were *that* unreliable. How exactly would I implement the cookie option? I don't have any experience with cookies, aside from knowing that they are little files on the user's computer. Would I want to make a new cookie for each vote? Or would that clutter up the user's system in a bad way? In other words, can you point me in the right direction code-wise regarding these cookies? Also, for theoretical purposes, is there any other way at all to uniquely identify the user? I mean, do we as coders have access to logging the user's MAC address on the NIC, or something like that?

Re: Prevent users from voting twice.
The simplest way to do this is through a cookie. You can't lock down an IP as this is something that may not be unique to them. (e.g. AOL) If they block cookies don't let them vote. If they vote, clear cookies, vote again, so be it. If you want to prevent that, ask them to login/register (with email confirm) but expect a far lower voting numbers (but better quality). You just cannot rely on an IP though. You can have the situation that the IP number changes between voting page display and actual vote being submitted.

Significant, in my past experience. The CFCONTENT request monopolizes a CF thread for the duration of the download.

JRun Clustering problem - Instance keeps "shutting down"
Hi there, We've been having a lot of problems recently with one of our Cluster instances whereby it keeps either shutting itself down or starts to reject threads. There isn't a set pattern to when this happens but it is only happening on one instance (we have four in total separated 50/50 on two servers). When JRun starts rejecting requests we're seeing this kind of thing in the logs: 27/02 10:44:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/10 Sessions: 4520 Total Memory=65472 Free=8732 27/02 10:45:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/11 Sessions: 4515 Total Memory=56320 Free=8533 27/02 10:46:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 1/10 Sessions: 4512 Total Memory=57600 Free=7505 27/02 10:47:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/10 Sessions: 4518 Total Memory=57920 Free=6622 27/02 10:48:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 1/10 Sessions: 4503 Total Memory=57216 Free=9725 27/02 10:49:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/10 Sessions: 4501 Total Memory=54976 Free=7224 27/02 10:50:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4431 Total Memory=61376 Free=12289 27/02 10:50:41 info Clusterable service JRunProxyClusterHelper successfully removed a peer when that peer left the cluster 27/02 10:51:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4413 Total Memory=56832 Free=11473 27/02 10:52:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4377 Total Memory=56064 Free=11637 27/02 10:53:01 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4341 Total Memory=53504 Free=11657 27/02 10:54:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4300 Total Memory=53568 Free=11636 27/02 10:55:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/9 Sessions: 4263 Total Memory=53568 Free=11543 27/02 10:56:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4213 Total Memory=53504 Free=11598 27/02 10:57:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4173 Total Memory=52544 Free=11585 27/02 10:58:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4132 Total Memory=52608 Free=11501 27/02 10:59:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4089 Total Memory=52608 Free=11370 27/02 11:00:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4051 Total Memory=52608 Free=11454 27/02 11:01:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 4014 Total Memory=52096 Free=11537 27/02 11:02:02 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 0/1 Sessions: 3967 Total Memory=52096 Free=11190 .so note that JRun rejects the instance from the cluster but the logs carry on. Also note that the Web Threads just carry on as 0/1 until the instance is started up again. The frequency of this has started to increase and we're now getting this at least once a day. The server is a virtual machine, Win Server 2003, CF7.0 with multiserver JRun. We have it setup on Round Robin with sticky sessions. Just to give you a breakdown on what we've tried already The problem started on the 29th of Jan this year and looking at our logs nothing has changed on or around this time apart from an upgrade to our backup software on the other "working" server. So I wouldn't expect this to effect the one that is now faulty. We started to add Hotfixes to the server on the 5th of Feb but this hasn't resolved the problem. These included JRun Updater 7 and CF HotFix 3 which had stability fixes for clustering. This was applied to both servers. Checking logs in IIS I'm not seeing anything abnormal. We've compared the setup of the failing instance to the other server instance and apart from a few unique configuration settings both are identifical in JRun. We are considering the option of rebuilding the instance using the working one but to be honest that drawing at straws. Has anybody else had a similar kind of problem or can think of any other ideas as to what might be causing this. Your help would be appreciated and if there is anymore information you need please let me know.

Re: Help with Rewrite Rule! (circuit.fuseaction)
Hi guys, I have one more questions on this topic. I've added a handful of rules and they work however all of the images on the site are broken. I have a virtual directory in IIS for my site called "images" and all the "img" tags on my pages start with for ex: "images/foldername/imagename.gif". I don't want to change all the img tags in my site to "http://domainname/images/etcetc.."; Is there a better solution.. Your help on this matter are much appreciated. Regards, cfcoder >Oops...

RE: Sending File Data Over Webservice
Thanks Dave, Unix? What's that? Heh, I'm only pulling your leg, I know what Unix is. I thought that cfcontent would be an intensive little monkey, it doesn't surprise me to hear you've found that in the past, it's nice to have that confirmation. I think my real goal with this is to keep it as unintensive as possible, I mean, keeping the files hidden from web access isn't the absolute end of the world, if people view and download them it has no real consequence, other than eating all my bandwidth, however, all the files are stored with a UUID as the name so it's not as if people will stumble across them by accident. One thing I'm considering as an option at the moment is maintaining the theory of passing the binary data back over a webservice, however, cutting out the compression, at least this makes the load on the server a little less and it's just the bandwidth which is going to take a bit of a hit, maybe 10-20% or something like that, quite manageable though. What do you think, does that sound a solution? Or would you still look around at the idea of making files temporarily accessible?

Significant, in my past experience. The CFCONTENT request monopolizes a CF thread for the duration of the download. As an alternative, you might consider creating temporary URLs; you can easily do this on Unix using symlinks. You can create symlinks to directories in Windows, and that might be sufficient also.

RE: Sending File Data Over Webservice
Morning Mark, That's an excellent and thorough answer, thanks. It's nice to see someone who has tried this kind of approach themselves and got a little experience with it. I like this idea of issuing a token for the files, that's quite neat. Another great little idea is delivering the files using cfcontent which means they don't have to be web accessible, this is a very nice security factor, I like it a great deal. What are the overheads like on using cfcontent to deliver a file opposed to simply having it available in a web accessible directory? Cheers Mark, Robert -Original Message- From: Mark Kruger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 February 2008 21:19 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Sending File Data Over Webservice Robert, We have a web service used for the state of California that wraps image files up as base64 - exactly as you suggest below. The image files are obviously much smaller than media files (mostly less than half a meg), but I can tell you that you are on the right track thinking that it is a resource intensive way to go. If we were doing larger files we would probably use something much "dumber" than a web service (also as you suggest) - a URL to retrieve the file via HTTP. Of course you can pass a token or something that is good for only 1 retrieval and then serve the file from a location outside the web root (for security). You could also zip it. But after zipping and using cfcontent and checking credentials you now have a second request that could be resource intensive as well. The bottom line is that there is no great "low resource" way to securely send files around in an SOA type architecture. -Mark Mark A.

The webservice isnt a standard ColdFusion webservice running over SOAP, this is a custom REST service which simply recieves POST data into the FORM scope and then spits back an XML document for the client to read. Now, I basicly offer a bunch of multimedia content over this webservice, anything from text, through to images, sound and video. With the current setup, when a request is made to the service for a particular piece or set of multimedia, the media is zipped on the server into an archive file, the binary data of which is then read into a base64 encoded string and this is then passed back to the client wrapped in some XML over the web service. The challenge I meet with this is not knowing how to weigh up the cost of bandwidth and security against the load hit this causes on the server. See, at the moment, with zipping the content I'm saving a substantial amount of bandwidth, also with zipping the files and sending them as a string I have the ability to be able to produce a HASH key checksum for the file, then when the file arrives the other end, the client can rebuild the file and checksum to make sure all is alive and well after the transmition. Now, the real downside to this option is that it must be hungry on the system, all the checksumming and zipping must be making some form of performance hit, right? especialy on what will likely become a very busy little web service in the comming months. My other planned method of attack is to not pass the files through the webservice at all, but simply pass a web accessible path for them, the client application could then simply loop through the returned XML and make http requests to download the media, this would obviously up the bandwidth but does offer less load involved with compressing the media. I'm sorry the question isnt a little more specific about what I'm asking, I'm just thinking out loud really, hoping somone will chime in and offer thier thoughts. How would you tackle this challenge? what would your priority be? bandwidth or reducing the load on the server? is it plausable to offer a checksum solution even if we're not sending the binary data over the service directly so we can still offer that level of security without the overhead of the zipping? I'm looking for the best ballance. I'd be interested to get your thoughts.
