Re: CF and SQL Server temporary tables
That's my understanding too - CF gets a connection from the pool on the first query in a request and keeps that connection for the duration of the request, using it for all subsequent queries.

Proxy Authentication with Oracle - Does ColdFusion Support this?
Dear CF-Users, In order to have proper auditing and for other benefits like identity preservation we cannot just make use of a single username/password as is traditionally required for connection pooling. There is more than one way to handle this, but a common method that can be used to avoid this type of problem is to make use of proxy authentication. With proxy authentication, we can keep the advantages of connection pooling whilst at the same time we are able to, a certain extent, identify users. In Java proxy authentication is implemented as shown below (David Knox code): 1. Connect to middle tier using the proxy user: OracleOCIConnectionPool ods = new OracleOCIConnectionPool(); ods.setURL(jdbc:oracle:oci:@ + tnsAlias); ods.setUser(coldFusion); ods.setPassword(password); 2. Connect using Proxy Authentication: java.util.Properties userNameProp = new java.util.Properties(); userNameProp.setProperty(OracleOCIConnectionPool.PROXY_DISTINGUISHED_NAME, scott); Connection conn = ods.getProxyConnection(OracleOCIConnectionPool.PROXYTYPE_DISTINGUISHED_NAME, userNameProp); Basically, I would like to know, if possible, if ColdFusion natively supports this kind of authentication. Thanks all for your kind assistance.

ColdFusion and IIS as an external Web Server - Is JRun required o n both machines?
Dear CF-Users, We are using ColdFusion 8 Enterprise Edition and we want to check if it is possible to separate the ColdFusion application server from the IIS Web Server. In our scenario, we have two separate machines - one dedicated for ColdFusion and the other dedicated to the Web Server. The machines are on the same LAN but only the web server is accessible from the Web (this is in DMZ). The Web Server Configuration Tool that comes with ColdFusion/JRun allows us to discover and connect with a remote JRun host, but my question is whether we need to install JRun on both the web server and the application server. Apparently, IIS requires jrun.dll locally to successfully handle the application extensions .cf, .cfm, etc. Thanks all for your help.

RE: CF and SQL Server temporary tables
I'm with Dave... The connection persists for the length of the request. I wonder however about scoping and components. For example, what if I did the following: 1) createobject(component,com.dbObj).createTempTable() 2) createobject(component,com.dbObj).getDataFromTempTable(firstname='Bob'); Could the second instantiation of the object result in the use of a different connection? Since the scope is sort of agnostic of the request I wonder if that would be the case. It might be interesting to find out. -Mark Mark A.

Re: ColdFusion and IIS as an external Web Server - Is JRun required o n both machines?
You don't need the full blown install to do this, however it's going to be a completely manual process. You can find instructions for that at this link http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19575. The only thing that's not reflected in the kb entry is that IIS6 now uses a wildcard ISAPI reference. It may help you to configure a webserver locally on the ColdFusion box, and then mirror these settings on your DMZ server (from the IIS standpoint). Or, even better, create the website locally and just save the site for import into the DMZ.

RE: ColdFusion and IIS as an external Web Server - Is JRun requir ed o n both machines?
Hello Sir, Thanks for your reply. I agree with you on the mirroring and the website importing option. I think this is the way to go. I went through that kb article a couple of days ago however it assumes that the Coldfusion and the WebServer are located on the same machine, and this is not our case. I believe that it is not a simple replace all the localhost entries in wsconfig.properties to our IP address to work? Related to this, if we install ColdFusion on another application server, like WebSphere, then do we still need jrun.dll. I guess or I hope no?

One thing you'll have to take into account (because you're using richetext) is the underlying HTML.

You'll also have to make sure you point your target at the underlying code window (an iframe I think) and not the display window or your count will be off. -Original Message- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 8:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cftextarea: how to count characters? maxlength hey guys i am using cf8 and in my cftextarea richtext=true and maxlength=8000 is there a js or function that would show the user how many charecters the have used and how many are left in a textarea or text field? thanks much -paul ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303740 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: CF8 - Auto Populate a city text field based on zip code field?
Not sure if it's fixed in 8.0.1 or not, but up through 8.0 hf3, CFCs that were accessed through a mapping would not work with the CFForm input/select bind attributes. Documented bug. Hopefully it is fixed in 8.0.1. Cheers, Kris Update: My CFIDE mapping was fine which was going to a internal CF secure webserver with my admin. I didn't need to add a virtual directory to CFIDE or add scriptsrc. I just added a blank application.cfc and it works now. My issue seems to be something in a old application.cfm that the directory folder was inheriting from causing the issue. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303744 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

OT: Adobe Spry Menu and Flash
I know this is a bit OT, but it's still a problem maybe someone on list has seen. In CS3 Adobe provides a new function for generating fly out menus called Spry menus. The work well, but they don't seem to play very nicely with flash animation files (swfs). The flash animation and Spry menus seem to be interfering with each other. Here's an example: http://www.austin-williams.com/clients/Danfords/sprytest/index_testing4.html Spry does work OK if you convert the flash to an .flv, but you can't always do that. Here's an example of how they are supposed to work: http://danfords.com . Does anyone have any familiarity with this issue or have more insight they can provide? This is clearly a case of an Adobe product killing an Adobe product. Thanks, Robert B.

In order to have proper auditing and for other benefits like identity preservation we cannot just make use of a single username/password as is traditionally required for connection pooling.

Re: cftextarea: how to count characters? maxlength
There is some info in the fckeditor forums on getting the correct count. I think the CF8 cftextarea is repackaging fckeditor, and if so, this should work (although I haven't tried it in CF8 myself). You need to reference the object.GetXHTML() function. The example below is just for checking for any length, but you could use the referenced function for your situation as well. var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('theBody'); var theBodyTest = oEditor.GetXHTML(true); if (theBodyTest.length==0) { alert('You need to enter something for the body of your story.'); return false; } HTH, Kris ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303764 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: cfmail... and fonts.
That's what I thought, but then the documentation for my mail client threw me for a loop ... Well, there are two things to consider. When you send plain text, you can't specify fonts, as Sonny pointed out. But even if you send formatted mail, the mail client may be configured to discard some or all of that formatting. For example, in Outlook 2003, all mail I receive is displayed as unformatted text. My guess is that your documentation refers to this latter case.

RE: Prevent Cross Site scripting
I'm not sure if you're directing that question at Dave or me, so I will clarify my recommendation just in case. == Any time you embed text which a user/third party enters or has control over into another media, ensure that the potentially-unsafe text has any necessary meta-characters escaped. == That means if you want to output a name from the database into a JavaScript variable, you should run it through jsstringformat to remove any single ticks etc. var users_name = '#jsstringformat(my_query.users_name)#'; If you are building an XML document out of user-entered form fields, use xmlformat. rootemployee#xmlformat(form.name)#/employee/root If you are outputting a message in an HTML page, use htmleditformat. table tr td #htmleditformat(qry_message.message_text)# /td /tr /table Any time you are evaluating a string as code like as in a JSON string returned from an external web service, use a JSON parser instead of just throwing it into an eval() function. I know those are all generic examples, but I don't think there is necessarily a silver bullet snippet of code you can paste at the top of your page that will catch everything. In theory, if ALL data were properly escaped/sanitized according to the environment it was being embedded in, XSS attacks would not exist. In my opinion, _most_ XSS attacks happen because programmers get lazy-- a sin I've certainly been guilty of myself. ~Brad -Original Message- From: Ian Rutherford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 2:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Prevent Cross Site scripting So what do you recommend instead?

Re: output column average using coldfusion
I have to point out that this approach is terribly inefficient. Calculations like this should be in at the database level using SQL, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. Any time you're looping over queries to run more queries, or to total things up, it should be a big red flag, because in almost every situation the same thing can be done in SQL more easily and far more quickly.

Hello All -- I am working on a database driven website that can access individual records with a URL like this: http://www.domainname.com/index.cfm?pg=listing_detailsid=83hit=1popup=0 p review=1 In order to make the URL more SEO friendly, we are using a URL handler that lets us structure the URL this way: http://www.domainname.com/index.cfm/pg/listing_details/id/83/hit/1/popup/0 /p review/1 By removing the ? and symbols, we make the URL easier for search engines to navigate. Now, the SEO company is suggesting that we shorten the URL right down to the following: http://www.domainname.com/83/ I've seen many sites use more human readable URLs like the above or like so: http://www.domainname.com/gardentools Which would take you to the garden tool category of a data driven web catalogue (instead of explicitly passing the category ID via the URL).

If everyone wanted to talk about Ajax enough to expand the list, they'd be on the Ajax list.

Re: Prevent Cross Site scripting
Why store junk? if you're going to store data shouldn't it be escaped/purified before you store it? then you're escaping it once as opposed to escaping it 1000's of times every time you display/output it?

RE: Prevent Cross Site scripting
How do you know it's junk? Let's say you have a last name of O'reilly entered into a form field. That string will break the following of code: script language=javascript alert('#last_name#'); /script You would not want to remove the tick from the name in the database, as now you have lost part of your data. Instead you sanitize it at the time you output it with jsstringformat. Now, some of you are probably thinking, Why don't you just escape it when you put it into the database? My answer to that is, How do you know in what context that data might need to be displayed? If you escape the data for a JavaScript string at the time you store it, then it won't look right when you want to output it in HTML. OK, so you might think you should escape it for HTML at the time you store it-- now you write a flex front-end for your app and wish to display it in Flash. There are reasons other than malicious attacks to clean your data, and it is my option that the interface responsible for displaying the data should also be responsible for cleaning it appropriately. If that is done, O'Reilly won't be an issue and neither will XSS. If you are concerned about the performance implications of formatting the data over and over again you could cache static pages and serve them up.

Re: CFPOD - dynamic width?
cfpod is just a regular styled div with class=ypod and a unique id asigned by cf. so unless you have several of those on a page, which will make it harder to get their div's, you can easily use js to change the pod's width to 100%. i prefer jQuery for such things (DOM manipulation)... Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ Kevin Ross wrote: It was requested of me to use cfpod for a project and I've run into a roadblock early on. I've found out that the width of a cfpod can only be set in pixels. It seems odd to me that this tag does not support widths as percentages, but that's how it is. I've searched and can't find much info on plausible workarounds, so I figured I'd ask here if anyone has a solution to making a cfpod width=100%?

As Brad pointed out, who's to say what's junk? It is impossible, practically speaking, to identify every possible bad character that may exist in your data, and you may want to use that data in different ways and different places. You may, in fact, want to use data in new ways in the future, only to find that you have new vulnerabilities for which your current data is unsanitized.

RE: Prevent Cross Site scripting
Displaying or using data now in one way doesn't necessarily mean that's how you or someone else may need or want to display or use it later. It has been my experience that storing data just as it was entered is the better solution all around. Once you strip information out that you deem unsafe for your current needs, you can't get it back later if/when you or someone else decides otherwise. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
