Re: Cleaner way to retrieve a value from an XML node (XML-RPC)

2009-07-01 Thread Dave Watts

 I'm retrieving an XML packet from an API that uses the XML-RPC standard
 (http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec).

First, have you looked at this?
http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/index.cfm?mode=articleentry=362

 When I connect to the Login method of this API, I need to pull the session ID 
 out of
 the packet. I can do that long-hand with this:

 cfset local.loginResponseSID =
 local.requestXMLObject.XMLRoot.XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].
 XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[2].XMLChildren[1].XMLText /

 But, there must be a cleaner way to do this, right?

Almost certainly. In general, you can simply refer to XML elements as
nested arrays and structures, using the names of the elements; if
they're repeated within a single parent, you use array notation to get
to the one you want.

So, if you had a document like this in myXmlObj:

xmldoc
 child
  grandchildvalue1/grandchild
 /child
 child
  grandchildvalue2/grandchild
 /child
/xmldoc

you could get to value2 using:

myXmlObj.child[2].grandchild.xmlText

(Actually, since it's nearly 3am, I could very well have a minor error
in that, but the basic point stands.)

Re: Flash, XML CF 7

2009-07-01 Thread Dave Watts

 The form submit is
 Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

 When I save out the posted xml file, I just save it with a text editor.
 I have no idea what that encoding is.

Try saving it with CFFILE on the CF side, and compare it to what's in
your text editor using a hex editor.

Killing a thread without cfide.adminapi.servermonitoring

2009-07-01 Thread Bobby Hartsfield

Does anyone know if it's possible to view and/or kill threads without server
monitor running?

 

I ask because I built a component that starts, stops and displays threads as
part of a much bigger project. The thread management methods work fine as
long as server monitor is running. If it is disabled,
createobject(component,cfide.adminapi.servermonitoring).getAllActiveCFTh
reads() returns an array full of empty strings.

 

What makes me curious is that Fusion Reactor is able to view and kill
threads on the servers where server monitor is not running. If I don't have
to depend on it either, I'd much rather go that route.

 

Any ideas?

Re: Killing a thread without cfide.adminapi.servermonitoring

2009-07-01 Thread James Holmes

cfide.adminapi.servermonitoring is an interface into the server
monitoring processes; if these aren't running, you won't get any info
back.

Fusion reactor is a separate process, independent of the CF server monitor.

RE: Coldfusion Sport Software

2009-07-01 Thread Paul Alkema

I love ColdFusion, but when people talk shared hosting there's no
comparative to between CF shared hosting and php shared hosting.

Here is Mike Kear's Offer of CF Hosting According to his website.

CF Shared Hosting
afpwebworks.com - Advertised Hosting Plan
Monthly price   - $15/M
Disk Space  - 20mb
Bandwidth   - 500mb/mo
MySQL Databases - None

PHP Shared Hosting
alkemadesigns.com/hosting - Advertised Hosting Plan
Monthly price   - $4.95/M
Disk Space  - UNLIMITED
Bandwidth   - UNLIMITED
MySQL Databases - UNLIMITED

I'm not insulting Mike Kear's offer.. at all, I actually think this is low
for coldfusion hosting. The matter of the fact is, is that good CF shared
hosting costs more than good PHP hosting.

If I can get my clients to get a dedicated CF server I always encourage them
to do so, but if they can't afford it there is no comparison between PHP
shared hosting and CF shared hosting. Also, I think another downside to CF
shared hosting is the lack of control, between Cpanel, php.ini file and your
.htaccess file you have so much control of your hosting, but with CF hosting
in order to get things changed many times you have to call the hosting
company ask them to change IIS setting etc...

My recommendation is, if you're looking for shared hosting, use a PHP server
and learn PHP. If your company can afford it, go with a dedicated CF server
because CF is so much easier to write, easier to read and development time
is so much faster. :)

problems in doing a redirect - can someone assist

2009-07-01 Thread Toby King

Hi there

This may not be the correct place to put this message - hopefully someone can 
point me to another group if need be.

I have a site on a webserver that I want to have setup to redirect to another 
site.

I have everything setup but not doing what I want:

The current url is:

www.cosmeticsurgerymagazine.com.au and if I browse to it I get the message It 
Works - i.e. Apache

I want to redirect the site to www.bellamedia.com.au

Have tried redirect in an index.html file, also tried a redirect in a virtual 
hosts  file - but still get the same result.

Any tips/hints would be greatly appreciated.

RE: problems in doing a redirect - can someone assist

2009-07-01 Thread Justin Scott

 I have a site on a webserver that I want to have setup to 
 redirect to another site.

If you have ColdFusion, you could use the CFLOCATION tag in an index.cfm
file.  If you don't have ColdFusion, you can use the mod_rewrite module.
That is beyond the scope of this list though.

Re: Coldfusion Sport Software

2009-07-01 Thread Mike Kear

Thanks Paul.  The reason CF costs more than PHP is that the Enterprise
CF costs a lot of money.   It costs more, the faster new versions come
out, because the cost of one version has to be recovered before you
can consider upgrading to the next version.

As to the unlimited disk space - that is really a bit of smoke and
mirrors.The logic goes like this.

The company might have have 90% of the clients web sites who wont use
more than 10MB (for example) no matter what their quota is.  So if
they work out the numbers based on an average of 30MB usage,  they can
afford to say 'unlimited disk space' knowing that even if some use
large amounts of space,   the average will still be less than 30MB.

We use the same logic saying they can have unlimited number of email
accounts.   We know that the vast majority of our clients have only 2
or 3 email accounts,  so if a one or two clients have a hundred email
accounts,  the average is still only a few.It all depends on the
client profile.

And with our system, the clients can change almost anything about
their sites including set up CF Datasources and new databases using
the great HELM control panel, which integrates seamlessly with many
aspects of the CFAdministrator - at least those aspects that we want
the clients to have access to.

Oh, one more thing.   Our prices are displayed in AUD - which is not
the same as the USD.   So at the moment i think our smallest plan of
AUD$15/month i think translates to about US$10/month.

 I'm not insulting Mike Kear's offer.. at all, I actually think this is low
 for coldfusion hosting. The matter of the fact is, is that good CF shared
 hosting costs more than good PHP hosting.

 If I can get my clients to get a dedicated CF server I always encourage them
 to do so, but if they can't afford it there is no comparison between PHP
 shared hosting and CF shared hosting. Also, I think another downside to CF
 shared hosting is the lack of control, between Cpanel, php.ini file and your
 .htaccess file you have so much control of your hosting, but with CF hosting
 in order to get things changed many times you have to call the hosting
 company ask them to change IIS setting etc...

 My recommendation is, if you're looking for shared hosting, use a PHP server
 and learn PHP. If your company can afford it, go with a dedicated CF server
 because CF is so much easier to write, easier to read and development time
 is so much faster. :)

Re: problems in doing a redirect - can someone assist

 I have a site on a webserver that I want to have setup to

If you have ColdFusion, you could use the CFLOCATION tag in an index.cfm
file.  If you don't have ColdFusion, you can use the mod_rewrite module.
That is beyond the scope of this list though.

Re: Coldfusion Sport Software

2009-07-01 Thread Mike Kear

I just checked the stats for my client base and I have the average
usage for that category of package well within the limits.   I have
one user paying for that 20MB disk space, but he's actually using
550MB because he has a lot of emails in his account taking up space.
 I assume it's a while since his mail was cleared.  I'll have a look
at his usage in a week or so and ask him to clear his emails out if
it's sill that high.  But the average usage for that category of
client over our whole system is only 18MB.So it doesn't really
matter to me if one client uses 550MB.

Our clients are mostly CF developers using the space for test sites,
so therefore we only have two functions disabled and no tags disabled.
   Most  hosting companies cant do that, but because of our client
profile, we have found over a number of years that there has been no
problems.If we ever get anyone who does something dumb and breaks
something we might have to change the policy but in the mean time,
most of us think its best to allow people to build test versions of
the production sites with all the features running.

RE: Coldfusion Sport Software

2009-07-01 Thread Andy Matthews

If your client is complaining about the difference in price between $5 a
month ($60 per year) and $15 a month ($180 per year), then maybe it's time
to find yourself a new client.

Until Adobe starts offering a free version, or Railo and Open BD start
gaining more traction, PHP hosting will always be cheaper. The catch is the
speed of development. Sure you could save $120 per year, but that amounts to
ONE billable hour for some developers. Do you think your website could get
done faster if that developer had ONE more hour to work on it? Probably not.

(ot) quick Ext question

2009-07-01 Thread Don L

Sorry for the ot but this is a quick one.

How to use the bodyStyle attribute for Window object?

// Ext 2

var ewin = new Ext.Window ({
  // x:200,
  // y:200,
  width:350,
  height:350,
  border:true,
  resizable:true, 
  // try 1
  // bodyStyle: [{background-color:white; color:black; padding-left:10px}]

  // try 2
  // bodyStyle: [{background-color:'white', color:'black', padding-left:10px}]

  });

// results
neither try 1 nor try 2 worked in IE7 nor Firefox 3.0.11 on XP SP3.

How to?

Also, when I include the x and y attributes, the window failed to be opened, 
weird.

Thanks.

I love that movie, but I don't think I get your example. :)

It's ok though. I fully agree with you. Honestly my php clients are few,
most of which are friends, family or non-profit organizations that I did
cheap or free work for. That's why I was recommending php hosting because I
can relate to the original non-profit website email.

I encourage my good customers to use CF as the development time is quicker,
though, honestly if they want to use php and which takes longer to develop I
usually don't mind the extra hours as well. :)

Re: Cleaner way to retrieve a value from an XML node (XML-RPC)

2009-07-01 Thread Cameron Johnson

Thank you, Dave.

First, have you looked at this?
http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/index.cfm?mode=articleentry=362

Great! I was searching for a component like that, and I never came across this 
one; just the two old ones that the author references. 

xmldoc
 child
  grandchildvalue1/grandchild
 /child
 child
  grandchildvalue2/grandchild
 /child
/xmldoc

I see. Going by the names of the nodes makes sense, and it's easier to 
read/manage. In that case, I've got this:

cfset local.loginResponseSID = 
local.requestXMLObject.methodResponse.params.param.value.struct.member.value.string.xmlText
 /

Is that the simplest/cleanest that this is going to get?

Much appreciated.

Cameron

web service API problems (data conversion)

2009-07-01 Thread sam Detweiler

one of the products I need to talk to with my CF application, provides a web 
service interface.  CF generates the stubs underneath..  
I CreateObject() the web service 

wsparm = StructNew();
wsparm[refreshWSDL]=yes;
wsparm[saveJava]=yes;
wsparm[wsdl2javaArgs]=-p com.ca.dsm.webservice;
wsparm[port]=DSMWebServiceAPIService;
if(arguments.server eq )
   arguments.server=this.server;
this.ws=CreateObject(webservice,http://; arguments.server   
  this.wsdl_path,wsparm);

then call methods on this object. 

one in particular is giving me fits. 
the (wsdl2java called by CF) generated stub looks like this

public void openUnitGroupComputerMembersList(java.lang.String sessionId,
 java.lang.String unitGroupId,
com.ca.dsm.webservice.ComputerPropertyFilter[]computerPropertyFilters,
com.ca.dsm.webservice.ComputerPropertiesRequired computerPropertiesRequired,
 javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder openListHandle,
 javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder 
totalNoOfComputers){}

I call it like this

outcount = 
CreateObject(java,javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder).init();
handle = CreateObject(java,javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder).init();

this.ws.openUnitGroupComputerMembersList(this.session, 
group_uuid,toJavaArray(com.ca.dsm.webservice.UnitPropertyFilter,filter),  
parms , handle, outcount);
 
handle and outcount in quotes tells CF to to the mapping conversions.

but..
I get this error 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set java.lang.Long field 
javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder.value to 
javax.xml.rpc.holders.LongWrapperHolder

---

now, this code has worked since Jan this year without problem.. but I had to 
reinstall the server with the web service provider on it. (using the same CD I 
used before), and the wsdl (used for the stubs), is identical to that used 
before. 
CF on my development/test system has not changed since then. 

the error points to the line of code above calling 
openUnitGroupComputerMembersList

at cfDSMWs2ecfc1883901126$funcGETCOMPUTERS.runFunction(C:\Program 
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\cfusion\home1\DSMWs.cfc:171)

SO, what am I missing? 
if the last two parms were correct, the stub code copies the results from the 
web service response data like this (into the long variable 'value' in the 
holder class.

try {
openListHandle.value = (java.lang.Long) _output.get(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName(urn://www.ca.com/Unicenter/DSM/r11, 
OpenListHandle));
} catch (java.lang.Exception _exception) {
openListHandle.value = (java.lang.Long) 
org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils.convert(_output.get(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName(urn://www.ca.com/Unicenter/DSM/r11, 
OpenListHandle)), java.lang.Long.class);
}
try {
totalNoOfComputers.value = (java.lang.Long) _output.get(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName(urn://www.ca.com/Unicenter/DSM/r11, 
totalNoOfComputers));
} catch (java.lang.Exception _exception) {
totalNoOfComputers.value = (java.lang.Long) 
org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils.convert(_output.get(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName(urn://www.ca.com/Unicenter/DSM/r11, 
totalNoOfComputers)), java.lang.Long.class);
}

Do you always know how many children will be returned for a specific node?

If not you want to check this out. It will loop over children and you can
work specifically with those items.

cfinput question

2009-07-01 Thread Les Irvin

I'm using the cfinput type=file tag to upload pdfs to the server.
Is there a way in Cold Fusion to, when the file upload / browse dialog
comes up, restrict it to only show pdf files?  Or is that an operating
system / java / something else function?

Thanks in advance,
Les

Yes.  There is no way that I am aware of to put a filter on the file
selector box triggered by an input tag.

Only Flash based uploaders can filter the user's choice of file types.

Best you can do is check it after the upload.

Yup that is an operating system/ Java / Something else function.  
Browsers do not support this type of functionality.

using this the browser will ask for *.pdf files INITIALLY.. there is NO way to 
enforce ONLY a certain file extension/type.. (unless as noted you have code 
running a the client side (flash, plugin, etc)..

You didn't ask for enforcement, you asked for 'show'..

RE: cfinput question

2009-07-01 Thread Paul Alkema

Believe it or not, browsers are supposed too be able to do this. According
to W3C the input attribute accept should be able to be applied which would
filter out results. Unfortunately most browsers don't follow this feature. I
think Opera is the only one that actually does this. Which is very unlike
Opera.

See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html - 17.4 The INPUT element

You should be able to do this...

cfinput name=uploadAFile type=file accept=application/pdf

That's easy! It's in the same place as all the money your bank would

all the bandwidth that your wireless provider would need if everyone
actually took unlimited seriously in their unlimited data plans.

Cfexchangecontact synchronization

2009-07-01 Thread Victor Moore

Is there a way to get the modified date out of exchange calendar
events or contacts when using
the cfexchange tags?
Basically I need to provide two way synchronization between a web app
and exchange.
I envision having a scheduled task that runs every x min and picks
items modified since last run but
I cannot find how to determine the date an item has been modified.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
