Coldfusion Date
Hi the Community, I just discover Coldfusion. It's really a so powerfull language that i would like to ask if a function which take a month and a year as parameters and return the number of days (for this month and this year) exist in Coldfusion. Thnx for future answers.

Re: basic cfc/oo design question
as an extra helper i would say if you are migrating from procedural to OO i would suggest MG, as it is fantastic and forces you down an OO route. i havent done too much research on the others but when i was deciding, i posted a message on this forum and was told that MG is def more OO than others I'm planning on using one of the MVC frameworks (probably MG, but I'll look at Mach ii and OO Fusebox again as well) for a seperate project that can be built from the ground up. This project has enough quirks (like an existing url rewriter scheme) that I'd prefer not to try and shoehorn in a whole framework. I agree though that having a framework that you make yourself use will certainly aid in getting it down. As for the getters/setters, I just read a posting and comments discussion on Brian Kotek's blog that helps clarify the getter/setter argument and I think I'll go ahead and do the extra work for getters/setters.

RE: Proper Authentication with CFLDAP?
It depends on your LDAP server. It appears that you are not using Active Directory due to the way you have handled your start and username attributes. AD allows any domain user to query the directory. Other servers, such as Novell DS, may require you to first query the directory for the DN of the user who is trying to authenticate. This first query will require a known username and password. Then, the second query will take the first query's DN and use it as the username. If all works, then, the user is authenticated. However, I have worked with a Novell server that doesn't require a username/password at all. From what I am told, this is common for Novell servers. There are a couple of improvements I would suggest. 1. As Shannon said, for the START, you can specify the root of the users container, rather than the DN of the user object. If you are told to specify the DN in the START, then change your SCOPE to BASE. There is no SUBTREE for a single object. Therefore, there is no need to ask the LDAP server to search through sub-OUs when you just told it the exact destination. It doesn't hurt, but it's confusing when reading the code. 2. While authenticating, you can also bring out other attributes such as givenName, sn, mail, etc. Currently, you are returning only cn. You may need other attributes within your application, so why not authenticate, and get their values, in a single request? 3. You don't need the cfelse part of your condition. You already know the UserIsValid variable is 0.

Re: Proper Authentication with CFLDAP?
There are three types of binds that a LDAP server can be configured for: 1. anonymous - the tree is world readable, so no credentials are checked, and your search has all of the rights granted to anonymous 2. user bind - the user authenticates against the tree, and has rights granted based upon the users rights. (no anonymous reads usually). 3. unauthenticated - anonymous binding with user dn, but no password. 1 and 2 are the most prevalent. I don't have as much experience with Active Directory, so they may have extended these possibilities. speeves On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 8:38 AM, Dawson, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: It depends on your LDAP server.

Re: Alternative to coldfusion8
Part of the reason for Adobe Coldfusion 8 having features that the open source competitors do not is commercial licensing. Adobe either owns the license for some of the cool new tag features or paid the bucks to use a third party license. The open source products may not have the money to pay out to buy those licenses. NewAtlanta's Bluedragon may have a better shot at being fully compatable on their next release since they have commercial licensing for Bluedragon. Also, timing of releases plays a part in feature comparisons. Example, Bluedragon 7 was released before Coldfusion 8 but after Coldfusion 7. Thus Bluedragon 7 had features that Coldfusion 7 did not but now Coldfusion 8 has leaped ahead those features and with newer features. In addition Bluedragon had CFTHREAD and CFIMAGE before Coldfusion and thus Bluedragon's implimentation is different than Coldfusion's implimentations of those tags that were later added to Coldfusion 8. BlueDragon now has an open source version and they are looking for community developers. Feel free to jump in and help. Also, I did not address the other flavs of CFML engines since I am not familar with them. I only use Coldfusion and Bluedragon. I was the lucky one at the ColderFusion UG (Twin Cities, MN) to win a fully licensed copy of Bluedragon. So I use it.

cfexchange
I am just starting to play around with cfexchange because I have not really needed it up until now. I see its pretty easy to get a list of contacts using the following code. cfexchangeconnection action=open connection=myExchangeConnection server=* username=* password=* / cfexchangecontact action=get name=myContacts connection=myExchangeConnection / cfexchangeconnection action=close connection=myExchangeConnection / cfdump var=#myContacts# However I do not store any contacts locally. When I click to we have lists of employees based on company, location and department. Is there anyone to interact with these lists as it would be easier for me to grab all employees at once. I don't know much about exchange so forgive my ignorance.

RE: cfexchange
When you say you don't store contacts, locally, I assume you mean your mailbox's Contacts folder is empty. However, you use Active Directory for your employee lists. If this is true, then you should use CFLDAP rather than CFEXCHANGE. Since Exchanges uses AD as the source of all user accounts, AD is where you should look. If you have setup different Address Book lists, then you can find that information using CFLDAP as well. The LDAP attribute you want is showInAddressBook. That attribute will return a DN for each address list you created. If you search (CFLDAP) for any users within a particular address list, by specifying the DN of the address list, you will get a query object of all users that have that attribute value set. In other words, perform a CFLDAP query for users. The filter attribute should contain something like this: CFLDAP FILTER=showInAddressBook=CN=All Users,CN=All Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=MyOrg,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com Copy and run the code from this page: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7thr eadid=1400638 This will show you the attribute values for showInAddressBook. It makes it easier to know what values CFLDAP would expect. If you need a better example, let me know.

Also, I did not address the other flavs of CFML engines since I am not familar with them. I only use Coldfusion and Bluedragon. I was the lucky one at the ColderFusion UG (Twin Cities, MN) to win a fully licensed copy of Bluedragon. So I use it.

Re: basic cfc/oo design question
All fine point there Gerald, thank you. I've looked at Illudium in the past and plan on doing so again for this project. Right now though I'm trying to map out all my classes in UML to make sure that I have it together conceptually, then move to the actual coding part. The database already exists from the previous iteration of the project though I plan on modifying parts of it. So I will most likely start at the conceptual level and work down, then start generating from the persistence level and work up, then try and hopefully meet those two somewhere in a happy middle :) Judah Judah, You may want to check out Brian Kotek's CFCStubGenerator, http://cfcstub.riaforge.org/. Basically what you do is develop your class diagram in your favourite UML app. Then export it as an XMI 1.1 file. Next run the CFCStubGenerator app and import your xmi file. The stub generator will output stubs with all you CFC's, as well as many other useful stuff (xml files for MG and Coldspring, test cases for CFCUnit or CFUnit etc.). hth, larry ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314355 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Apache/CF8 problems
I'm helping a friend setup his Vista machine to run Apache/CF8, like my XP Pro machine. The problem we're having is, whenever he hits one of his domains we setup in his windows hosts file, it directs you to the default apache website. It works! But we have virtualhost directives in the httpd.config file to direct to C:\webRoot\somesite Here's the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 local.ApacheTestSite 127.0.0.1 local.ApacheTestSite2 Here's the bottom of his config file: NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 VirtualHost 127.0.0.1 DocumentRoot C:\webRoot\testSite2 ServerName local.ApacheTestSite2 /VirtualHost VirtualHost 127.0.0.1 DocumentRoot C:\webRoot\InfoSite ServerName local.infotest /VirtualHost What's strange is, this all works on my XP Pro machine. I can't figure out why you hit one of those domains in the URL, and it will not take you to the right website in the webroot. Any ideas? Thanks!

If I understand the question... Some thing like this?

It uses Evaluate for which I have been scolded for... but performance wise
there is very little difference between evaluating the string and calling

Re: Ben Forta for president?
Thanks Michael. My original posting had a flippant start to it, but a serious question that no one has responded to - how do they do the video on the fly for this? IF you didn't see the video, i suggest you have a look .. it's an amazing piece. There's this amusing video, you put your first name and last name in the form, and click 'submit'. Then on the fly, there's a news report using the name you just put in. I'd like to know how they do that. - i can think of several serious applications for such a thing on sites I work on. . If you missed seeing the video, have a look at http://www.tsgnet.com/pres.php?id=370617altf=Njlfaltl=Lfbs It's really a classy piece of work to do such customised video on the fly like that.

musings...
Some musings for a Friday... Just got another offer from one of my consulting clients to come on board full-time. A bit of background: I've been coding for close to 20 years, CF for 10 years. I currently have three clients: a local county government, a major local utility and a national financial services firm. The utility has just asked me to come on board as an employee. They are my primary client; I currently work for them for between 30 and 40 hours a week. I work from home four days a week and work on-site one day. So they offer me a permanent jobBUT I won't be able to telecommute (maybe one day a week), I will only get one week vacation (I generally take three full weeks and lots of long weekends) to start and my starting salary will be half of my billable rate. Even taking into account the cost of paying my own payroll tax, it's still a huge cut. So, my musing is Why do these companies think that consultants will accept these offers? If they really want to hire us, why aren't they more flexible? Or are they just asking on the off chance that they can get us cheap? This is not the first time I have been asked to come full-time, either by this client or others. In each case I would have been giving up so much and for what? In today's world, taking a full-time position does not give you greater job security than being a consultant. I have seen two rounds of layoffs at one client site, but there was never a question of letting me go. Just musing...
