I'm glad that the legal battles have played out as they have, for the most part, so far. Regarding source and whatnot. I love the idea that I couldn't legally fix, or even diagnose a problem, with something I own. Really I don't love that idea. I love watching chefs do battle. That's for real. Void a warranty?, sure, but go to jail for tearing the tags off? Lame! :-P There's this whole strange idea about ownership these days. Do you know that long ago, things went into the public domain faster than they do now? Why has that changed? Oh well. That's good stuff to know, Adam. I guess we can debate the merit of copyright and whatnot over on community or OT (assuming I sign up with OT-- where I most likely belong|]). Guess any submissions I'd make would be suspect. Hopefully it takes more than just knowing about such things as decompilers-- maybe poor Brad and anyone who read this thread is now suspect... sorry folks. * Is decompilation legal? Yes, if restricted to legal uses in the section "Why is a Java decompiler useful?" For the same reasons that one can photocopy a few pages from a book, a developer may disassemble or decompile executable content. We are protected by the notion of "fair-use". Reverse engineering of an entire application and shiping under a different name clearly violates both our license agreement with our end users, and this notion of "fair-use". It is not our objective to see our tool used in this manner. (I hope whoever I "decompiled" this from is ok with the excerpt!) LOL. I'm getting out of hand.

Re: Jrun Memory Usage Problem: could fileexists() be the culprit?
We had a similiar issue. Let me preface by saying I have not read this entire thread so if the info I give is redundant.. sorry. Anyways, we had a similiar issue. Code that worked fine under CFMX 7 would cause Jrun & cfmx 8 to suck down memory until it crashed. We narrowed it down to a piece of code that read in a large xml documented, parsed it, and then displayed it on the screen. Hit it once after the server would start and it would take 200 megs, hit it quickly a couple times and it would jump to 800 meg(max jvm memsize was 1.2g), do it a couple more times and the instance would crash. I was able to catch the ear of an Adobe support engineer and we have solved my problem. First, I upgraded to the lastest JVM 1.6_06 also, scaled down the memory quite a lot. Here is my jvm.config: java.home=d:/jdk1.6.0_06 java.args=-server -Xmx512m -Xms256m -XX:MaxPermSize=178m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -XX:+UseParallelGC This has totally solved my problem our servers have been running great ever since. Plus 1.6 is much faster. Hope this helps. - Alex ~| 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:307374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Disable "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked"?
Reinstalling the web server connector did nothing, but uninstalling the 4 security patches that we had recently installed (NONE OF THEM having ANYTHING to do with IIS) got rid of the random/intermittent "HTTP 500" problem. In case any of you start getting this problem, the 4 security patches were: KB950762 KB950759 KB951698 KB950760 I dont know if it was all or one or some combo of the patches, but it was pretty bad. Again, it was only CF that had this problem. It recurred through multiple reboots and numerous "Revert to inherited" attempts as well as the reinstallation of the web server connector. For comparison, the server is a CF8.01/IIS7/Windows Server 2008 x64 box on a dual Xeon quad-core processor. I hope this doesnt happen to any of you. >> Is there any way to force CF to use a different transfer >> encoding on all pages (without going into every page on every >> site on my server)? > >I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the web server connector using the >web server configuration utility. > >Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software >http://www.figleaf.com/ > >Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized >instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, >Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location. >Visit http://training.figleaf.com/ for more information! ~| 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:307373 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Jrun Memory Usage Problem: could fileexists() be the culprit?
Hey everyone, An update: * We installed FusionReactor * Deployed the site on a development box running CF Enterprise * Ran a number of load tests and tests on discrete parts of the application * Did various application and memory monitoring using both FusionReactor and CF's Server Monitor * Tweaked some more code based on the tests, including: ** fixing a few application errors; ** optimizing a few cfc methods and queries that were slow: ** reconfirming that we don't have any improperly scoped variables in the app, and that there wasn't any weird recursion or referencing of objects ** converting some pages that require complex but more or less static database queries into includes that get generated when the data changes in the database when a new data import is performed. ** temporarily commenting out some code that invokes cfx_image3 to generate artifact thumbnails. * Changed CF's Query Caching settings to zero, temporarily. * Retested * Played with various JVM settings that people suggested. No luck. Memory still keeps climbing. In fact, on some of the search results requests that return a large number of records you can watch Jrun grab a good 15-25 megs and not let it go. If you keep hitting the same page you can quickly force Jrun to hit it's buffer and stop responding. You shut this site down and restart Jrun in either dev or production and the server runs beautifully, no memory problems. Here's the weird thing: when you analyze these requests and the server state while running the load test, the total amount of memory being consumed by application and session variables, objects created and destroyed during the request cycle, even the size of the data returned from the queries, is completely insignificant: * The total amount of memory the application's objects that are being stored in the application scope is less than a Meg. * User sessions rarely take up more than a few kilobytes. * There's nothing in the server scope. * The largest query object clocks in at well under a megabyte. Moreover, in the CF Server Monitor it shows that CF is actually destroying the objects as expected and releasing memory back into the pool. However, if you actually look at Jrun in the Task Manager, it's not. And, hitting Run GC to invoke garbage collection in the Server Monitor doesn't get the memory back either. I'm running out of ideas. The last couple of things on our list are to rewrite some of the SQL to use SQL 2005's paging functionality (haven't got to that yet), and to try eliminating one technique we've been using. Some of our application-scoped singletons store a reference to our app's SessionFacade within themselves. This should be fine, because the SessionFacade has NO private/public properties, and when we invoke the SessionFacade's methods inside the other objects we're doing so according to best practices: declaring a variable that is private, i.e., Might we have run into a memory leak in the native SQL Server database driver? Or some kind of obscure JVM problem? Or maybe some kind of recursion hidden way in some cfc or view code that isn't causing a request to hang, but is somehow chewing up memory? My next steps after this might be to engage Adobe or maybe Charlie Arehart's company. Anyone have experience dealing with either?

This is not true for PDFs protected through LCES Rights Management. They will only open in newer versions of Acrobat or Reader. They won't open at all in third-party PDF readers. They can't be unlocked with third-party tools. Arguably, they're not even PDFs at all any more; they're encrypted envelopes that contain a PDF.

RE: urlencoded content type
From: Peterson, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I guess I was just givin ya crap because the problem as stated had nothing at all to do with coldfusion. Maybe you should just include the entire problem? ;) Chris I thought about that, and I have a theory that states the likelyhood of getting a reply on the talk list decreases as the length/complexity/details of your question grow. People basically skip over the tough-looking threads in favor of the latest "Best CF Editor" nonsense. :) You asked for it, so here's the readers digest version. I am attempting to build an interface for a lovely little piece of title software called Calyx Point. Our customers fill in data in a little ..exe program (made by Calyx), click a button, and an HTTP post is sent to my server. ASSERTATION: I have absolutely no control over the HTTP post I am expected to process. Here's the problem: The post sent by this program uses a content type of "urlencoded" which based on the RFC is required to url encode any form variables it sends. Well, guess what-- they don't. They send the XML over in plain text. I have brought this to their attention and they told me basically, "Yeah, we don't *really* think it's a bug-- you should just modify your server to parse the post differently" First off, I think that's a pile of crap. Second off, how the heck would I even do that? Visit this page to see the sample HTTP post again and the form scope that is produced: http://bradwood.com/encoding/ The un-encoded ampersands clearly confuse ColdFusion and make it think there are multiple request parameters. If these Calyx clowns are going to insist on sending what I perceive as an illegal request body with a content type of urlencoded, I need some kind of work around to get to the actual request body of my page, since the form scope in ColdFusion uses the underlying Java methods which FOLLOW THE RULES. Basically, if people agreed that I was correct in my thinking of how encoding types should work, then I was going to begin soliciting work-arounds. I'm thinking some way to get at the underlying Java HttpServletRequest object to do my own parsing of the request body. There, ya happy? :) Let me have it. ~Brad ~| 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:307356 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Exception Thrown and Not Caught in IE
Thanks James that does do the trick.
Is this a hack or a good way of handling this? What if the page takes a long
time to load? Or the browser takes a long time to process the content? Will
half a second suffice?

Just rename the onLoadFunction function to
onLoadFunction_delayed()
and create a new "onLoadFunction" that has only the following line of code in
it:
window.setTimeout("onLoadFunction_delayed()",500);
That will call the onLoadFunction_delayed function half a second after the page
finishes loading and you should be fine

Re: Disable "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked"?
I forgot to mention that in fiddler I see the request (complete with the chunk size) and also what is probably the strangest part of all: The requests will randomly come back with the first line reading: "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" I can click "reissue request" in fiddler (which sends EXACTLY THE SAME request to the server) and I may get back the 500 or I may get back "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" It's totally random. I can get ten 200s in a row or waver back and forth each request or only get 500s for a minute or two. I haven't seen any decipherable pattern. Also, that header is THE ONLY DIFFERENCE in the response. Everything else works great. It produces the content correctly. Its well formed. Its just that the server randomly decides to return the response as a 500, sometimes. I'm running IIS7 and this ONLY happens with CF requests.

Disable "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked"?
I am getting the weirdest error. My server lost power on Saturday night and (obviously) therefore restarted. When that happened it must have finished installing something that was started earlier because all my pages started being delivered in "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" Now you might think thats not so bad, but apparently it prefixes the HTTP response of the file content with a block size (e.g. "5309") so that it can know how big the chunks are and suffixes it with a "0" Flex doesnt recognize this as part of the HTTP header/footer and therefore thinks every XML object I load is malformed. These objects are all produced by CF and they load properly in IE/FireFox (who are savvy enough to know what HTTP headers are supposed to look like) but in Flex its all borked. Is there any way to force CF to use a different transfer encoding on all pages (without going into every page on every site on my server)? Any idea what might have caused CF to start doing this to begin with? I couldnt find anything that I installed recently that had anything to do with this.

When that happened it must have finished installing something that was started earlier because all my pages started being delivered in "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" Now you might think thats not so bad, but apparently it prefixes the HTTP response of the file content with a block size (e.g. "5309") so that it can know how big the chunks are and suffixes it with a "0" Flex doesnt recognize this as part of the HTTP header/footer and therefore thinks every XML object I load is malformed. These objects are all produced by CF and they load properly in IE/FireFox (who are savvy enough to know what HTTP headers are supposed to look like) but in Flex its all borked. Is there any way to force CF to use a different transfer encoding on all pages (without going into every page on every site on my server)? Any idea what might have caused CF to start doing this to begin with? I couldnt find anything that I installed recently that had anything to do with this. The only CF thing that we installed at all (in the past few months) is a patch to address some cfimage issues (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403411&sliceId=1). ~| 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:307343 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Exception Thrown and Not Caught in IE
I am experimenting with and I am running into a strange error that
only happens in IE:
"Exception Thrown and Not Caught"
It works fine in Firefox.
What I want to do is display a tab in if that tab is in my Query
result. If that tab is not in my query results I hide it.
So I am using javascript to hide/unhide tabs inside of a cfloop to decide that
needs hidden and what does not.
I load the javascript in the tags onLoad attribute. Should I be loading
the JS differently?
function onLoadFunction() {
ColdFusion.Layout.showTab('ticketTabs','#item#');
ColdFusion.Layout.hideTab('ticketTabs','#item#');
}

lowagie PDF Libs
Does anybody use the lowagie PDF libraries and ever receive the following error when merging PDFs? "Rebuild failed: trailer not found." We use it on an older app and occasionally get that message. Googling it is a waste of time, but it seems to always be related to a corrupt PDF file. Of course, what is weird is the PDF will always open up fine in Adobe Acrobat Reader which makes it difficult to convince our users that their PDF is corrupted. ~Brad ~| 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:307338 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

We are running CF6.1 Enterprise on a W2K box. We use Oracle 10g to store client variables. Things have been running fine for years on this box.

In fact our Production server is sporadic with the error. We run CF7 from a couple of different servers hitting the same CF data source and there are no errors on those servers.

The process currently process ~1300 letters each time it is run. We understood that JVM tunning would not necessarily solve the problem, but figured it would help since we were still running out-of-the-box settings that where not fully utilizing available resources. We figure that ultimately we will need to somehow throttle the PDF generation so that it takes more time, but makes more reasonable usage of resources.

Re: More iText RTF Questions
Page events don't work with RTF creation, as the client renders the
document when it is opened.
That being said there is a footerheader object as part of the rtf
writer. I called it, it isn't throwing an error, and I can see my text
in the document when opened in notepad, but not in word.
The last two posts have really helped me out a lot, let me clean up what
I have and see where I am.
Thanks man. I've sen you all over the iText forums and mailing list,
you seem to be the CF community expert :)

Re: CFDIRECTORY and Multiple Spaces Between Filename
What I can suggest you is to surrround your output with #name# so all spaces are intact in the browser display. The issue is only with browser displaying it after ignoring whitespaces. In HTML, the following will be displayed as breaksplease: breaks please You can't expect your manual line-breaks automatically convert to tag.

Convrt Access to Excel via XML
Hello, I have an Access DB that has to be converted to a Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains formatting and formulas (it's used as an analysis tool). I have an example of the spreadsheet in XML format. So that example also contains the styling, formulas and data. What I need to make is a cf page that reads the db, converts it to XML so that it can be read by Excel. The formatting and formulas (as they are in the example) have to applied to it as well. Whats the best approach? ~| 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:307322 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
