Re: Hosting Announcement
Am I being too forward then to suggest another low cost alternative, that DOESNT ban CFDUMP? In fact there are only a very few tags/functions we dont enable. There are some that are disabled by default, but if you want them, we'll enable them for you, after setting up a sandbox for you. We're not as low-cost as that offer was, but then we dont disable essential tags like CFDUMP. I agree that normally you wouldnt need to debug on a production system, but as you say, William, what if something DOES go wrong on the production box? How do you debug the problem without all the debugging tools. On a production box you turn off the robust error messages, so CFDUMP is very useful for quickly debugging problems. Yes you can get by without - using CFTRY/CFCATCH to grab the errors and sending them to yourself by email, but sometimes a CFDUMP is the quick way to see what's going on if you are on a shared server. Have a look at http://afpwebworks.com and see if that won't help you out. (Currently showing our server is CF7 but in fact new accounts are going on a CF8 box, and we're changing everyone to CF8 in teh next week or so) Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 3:53 PM, William Seiter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Their technical support knows and knew that the cfdump tag was not > permitted, regardless of how it functions behind the scenes.

RE: Hosting Announcement
Their technical support knows and knew that the cfdump tag was not
permitted, regardless of how it functions behind the scenes. They should
have shown that in their advertised list of tags they don't support.
Of course I have a development environment. The intention was to build a
quick and easy system that wouldn't necessitate me to replicate everything.
Besides, it isn't unheard of to have to debug a system after launching it to
someone else's box.

Multiple queries from a CFC? Drop in Array?
I am trying to move some of my database access to cfcs and am trying to figure out how to get a set of five query results in a stored procedure out of a cffunction. I think I would use an array but am having a hard time visualizing how it would work. The stored proc returns: An order. Each order can have n parts. Each part can have n line items. The order can also have multiple gift certificates and status comments attached to it.

Re: Report Builder Question
Mike, So how is it passed to the report? Through a Query? Does each product (item per invoice) have a set number of lines, or does each product take a single line. If it does, then you could just write a function in the report that took the number of items passed and divide by the number of items per page and then you can figure out the total number of pages. Again, not sure how the report is being hooked into the database, but I am sure that there will be someway to get consistent footer into it.

Most likely they do allow access to the cfdump tag, but cfdump is trying
to inspect a variable by using a CreateObject("java", ...) internally.
You could ask Adobe to fix that: http://adobe.com/go/wish/

What do you need cfdump for anyway? Don't you have a development

I've seen runaway queries that return far more records that expected cause memory to ramp up. Others have asked how much are your storing in memory. This is critical to know and well as knowing how much memory you have configured in your jvm.config file for overall JVM memory and for the various other memory settings and garbage collection settings. Also, the version of JVM matters. Move up to the newest version of 1.4.2_1x. We've been using 1.4.2_16 with very few issues. In my opinion everything before _13 had way too many problems. You need to do a few things. Monitor the server 24/7 to see what the cause of the memory shortage may be. Check out Seefusion or fusion reactor. Both record 24/7 and can profile your JDBC connections as well as the rest of CF memory and requests. The other (cheap?) option is to continuously what your CF logs, but somethings like large query result sets just won't be recorded in a log file. Upgrade your JVM and figure out the best memory settings for your usage. Some apps need to use more memory due to the sheer size of the app and the number of users on at a time. I know we usually have 4k to 7k user sessions at any given point in time and our JVM memory hovers around 500mb to 600mb of memory used at any given time. As far as your first question, if you were running Linux I have BASH scripts that monitor CF for memory usage and timeouts and can restart the CF service if needed. I wrote these scripts for the same reasons. We needed something to handle the server restarts at all hours of the day or night while we debugged millions of lines of CF code in hundreds of CF applications. In the Windows Services panel I think you can define actions to take when the service becomes unresponsive. I've never tried this feature, but it might work. Just select the Coldfusion service and view properties. There is a tab for Recovery. Of course, since your using Server 2003 it may be a bit different. I've never used that version of Windows server. I switched to almost all non-windows computers. Cheers and good luck.

Re: Report Builder Question
JasperReports is built right into coldfusion. You can create a jasperreport JRXML file using iReport, and use createObject to run the report, etc. I don't do it any more because report generation takes such a toll on the server, and it's just waay better to have report stuff running on a separate server, pulling from a replication database. So now I use JasperServer, and it's KICK ASS! For anyone doing a lot of reporting, I'd recommend it. Simply the best! But if you're "stuck" with pure CF, and need to do those common reporting things that are just impossible with reportbuilder, then createObject and jasperrepoerts might be the way to go, because you can build the reports with iReport, which is a STELLAR report-builder (cross platform y todo).

Re: IsDefined()
> so cf will always be undefined until there is a page refresh?. Close. When you output the form you are simply outputting HTML for the *client* to process; that's it (so yes, the variables are not available). When the client sends a POST or GET request using the form, those variables are sent over http to the *server* (ie. ColdFusion) and are then available. If they refresh the page, they are simply requesting the same original request and so the variables will still not be available.
