Music previewing
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a custom tag or a method that will allow me to have a preview of a music file. I know that we have all of the image tags to handle thumbnailing images, but do we have any that will pull a fragment out of the uploaded music file? I am trying to get a temporary fix of having an embed object created dynamically through javascript and then using a settimeout to replace that object with a blank one that will 'stop' the music playing, but since the music isn't 'streaming' the song takes too much time to download to the users' machine before starting the playback. Other than having the preview created separately and uploaded separately, does anyone here have any ideas on how to crack this nut?

RE: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
Sounds like there are definite pros and cons to UUID usage. And, too, this seems to be a case of need driving functionality. With high traffic sites, I can see the need for various indexes, etc. My db's will all be relatively small and won't have issues with high traffic. I've never even had to use indexes to speed up db data flow. Initial impression is that working with UUID's, etc., may prove to be more effort than it's worth just to save users a step in adding unlimited photos to, say, a Real Estate property. Instead of all on one page, using the UUID as a relational key, I just have the user create the property record, then on the success confirmation page, offer a link to add photos to the property. When updating an existing property, there's no issue since the user has had to click a link with an id embedded in the URL anyway.

RE: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
I'd agree with Dominic. My company used to use GUIDs for OK and it's a pain in the arse. When you start getting hundreds of millions of records in the database, that varchar field for the GUID starts to take up a lot of space. Using it as the key for joins is trouble waiting to happen because now, you've got the GUID in not only one table, but MULTIPLE tables. Stick with the integer field for PK. -Original Message- From: Dominic Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 6:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key? Hi Rick, Personally, I would still use an auto-incrementing integer for the PK but have the UUID as a separate field with a unique constraint. Primary keys are not for making a single row unique but for facilitating the relational bit of relational databases (i.e. defining Foreign Key relationships). Having PKs as narrow as possible is better for performance when querying a database across relationships (i.e. using Joins, etc). Of course, as well as having the unique constraint on the GUID, your table should also define a constraint/index that logically defines what makes a row unique (i.e. a combination of account number and sort-code is a logical unique identifier for a bank account and should have a unique index or constraint - but not be a PK).

RE: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
For what it's worth I kind of agree with the others about the performance benefits... but at the same time the busiest site I've ever worked on (and my personal site, since it's built using the same engine) uses only UUIDs for PKs and never had an issue because of it. We used them, as I assume you are, to ensure that cross-domain information could be easy combined (something we actually didn't end up doing) and used in the application (the same PKs were used as StructKeys in session management) but we took millions of hits on moderate hardware using CF 6, Windows and SQL Server and it never winced. At the same time I kind of DON'T agree with them if you're doing what we were doing: if you're using the key to link tables (so that you can combine multiple databases easily) and using them to link to non-DB information (log files, etc) then it seems like extra work to do a "real" auto-increment PK as well.

RE: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
I have two tables with alternate keys...one is the user table that has a auto incrementing PK with the email (user name in this application) as a unique alternate key and one table of uploaded file info with an auto incrementing PK with file name (combination of file name and job name) as a unique alternate key. When records are added to either of these tables, records are added to other tables that have to relate to these new records and we can't be sure, with multiple users, of what the auto incrementing PK is (because that is set by the DB), but we do know the alternate key, bacause we actually insert that with the new record. So we can use that alternate key to be sure, 100% sure, we are grabbing the right record's PK.

I'd go with Dominic's idea personally. From a DBA perspective I've *hated* apps that used only GUIDs for their PK... especially when I have to either manually enter data or perform manual joins.

Re: Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
Hi Rick, Personally, I would still use an auto-incrementing integer for the PK but have the UUID as a separate field with a unique constraint. Primary keys are not for making a single row unique but for facilitating the relational bit of relational databases (i.e. defining Foreign Key relationships). Having PKs as narrow as possible is better for performance when querying a database across relationships (i.e. using Joins, etc). Of course, as well as having the unique constraint on the GUID, your table should also define a constraint/index that logically defines what makes a row unique (i.e. a combination of account number and sort-code is a logical unique identifier for a bank account and should have a unique index or constraint - but not be a PK).

Any "Gotcha's" in using CF UUID for db record primary key?
Hi, all... I'm thinking about changing from using auto-incrementing integers to CF-generated UUID's for primary keys in my mysql db's. Any drawbacks in doing that? The main reason I'm thinking about swapping is so I can eliminate the two-step process of creating, say, a database record for a new Real Estate development community for the textual information, and then requiring a user to click a link with the record id in the URL to add photos for the community. With a UUID, I can apparently create the UUID in advance and use it for the primary key in the community and also for adding the photos, all on the same page. This is my *first* time using a UUID, so don't leave anything out!

Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
I think I mentioned this previously but have you looked at CFC Stub Generator? http://cfcstub.riaforge.org/ >From the web site: -- Code generator that takes a simple text file and generates CFC stubs, unit tests (either CFUnit or CFCUnit), mock objects, ColdSpring.xml, ANT unit test build script, and test runners. In the latest update, the Stub Generator can also generate components based on an XMI data file. XMI is a standard XML format for describing UML diagrams. I have only tested this with Poseidon UML, but as far as I know any UML tool that can export to XMI should work. Note that the location of the XMI file used in the generation will be used as the base location for the test suite files (the test suite files will be placed in a subdirectory called 'testsuite' beneath the folder containing the XMI file). -- hth, larry > hi steve > > sorry i should have been more specific what i mean by this is code > generation... i was wondering whether there was a uml tool that took > the models to build cfc and cfm code. > > thanks > > richard ~| 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:301860 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
At work I use Magic Draw, along with the Team Server. Its very good, very powerful, but too powerful for a lot of my development work. But it has some very nice round trip features if you're moving back and forth between your diagrams and test code. Recently I used it to help me reverse engineer a set of java classes. I found it awkward in some ways, but that seemed more personal preference. Its biggest drawback is that its very expensive. Even more so when you're using their team server to collaboratively design a system. Magic Draw has both PC and Mac versions, it also has an eclipse plugin. Unfortunately I cannot use that because its incompatible with the Team Server we use at work Another more basic UML tool is Blu-Jay. It has all the basic diagrams etc. Its free and offers some round trip capacities. What I've found I've been using more and more often at work is the UML Diagram plugin that is a part of the MyEclipse package. It has all the necessary tools and diagrams etc. It exports the diagram in XMI 1.0 format, so you can import it into cfc stub generator. Its a fairly quick way to set up the basic skeleton of your application, along with all the necessary files for coldspring, ant deployment and cfunit tests. > >ArgoUML or Poseidon are two. there are quite a few, just do a google > search on it. > > > hi, thanks we have done a Google search in the pass which led to us > using argouml. it needs alot of improvement before it can be of any > serious use. so what we are after is not google search results but > recommendations from people that use the software and find it great. > > it doesnt have to be opensource actually as we are just after some > great software. ideally it is specifically for coldfusion and flex > applications > > thanks, we look forward to your replies > > richard > ~| 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:301859 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Cgrid needs Java Runtime Environment while Windows XP doesnt have it by defalut.
Hi: Thanks it worked just fine. I have another question if you don't mind. Can I set grid cells that if I double click on one of them I can select one from a combobox(list/menu)? Right now it works just fine with Yes/No cells and when I double click on them a check box appears, exactly the way I need it but I need to select from a list of months and a list of Genders (male , female). Is it possible? Thanks ALi On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 4:19 PM, Dan Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Make sure you use format="html".

Re: Cgrid needs Java Runtime Environment while Windows XP doesnt have it by defalut.
Make sure you use format="html". If you do not provide a format attribute it defaults to applet. - applet - generates a java applet - flash - generates a flash grid control - html - generates an ajax based html grid control that supports data binding - xml - generates an xml representation of the grid Dan On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 8:35 AM, Ali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi: I was very excited when I tried using CFGRID cause it could make a > very > nice difference in my application but when I tested the page I saw FireFox > returned an error and wanted JRE.

Cgrid needs Java Runtime Environment while Windows XP doesnt have it by defalut.
Hi: I was very excited when I tried using CFGRID cause it could make a very nice difference in my application but when I tested the page I saw FireFox returned an error and wanted JRE. Windows Vista seems to have it by default but Windows XP doesn't and still most of the users/customers use XP. Is there anyway to use CFGRID without the need of JRE?

Andrew, I actually had Matthew's MAMP way of doing things working for about an hour and then it just stopped running and I couldn't get it back up again.

I can't tell you anything about it or if I am actually in it and I can't tell you that it runs wonderfully and I can't tell you that it could save you many hours of headaches :-) J.J.
