Re: Coldfusion + Flex

[Gerald Guido]

I would take a look at Flash Catalyst

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/

I took a 20% day to play with Flash Catalyst, Flash builder beta etc.. and
ran into Ryan Stewart's screen cast.

http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2009/05/flash-builder-and-flash-catalyst-betas-now-available/

Catalyst + Flash Builder + CF Builder + ORM + Code Generation + Abstract
Service layer = Paradigm shift

This is a total game changer for me. The world looks 100% different right
now.

My head is still spinning.

That is a left outer join. It's mixing new and old styles of joining tables.
Not sure if there's a benefit to the mix, but I reckon this is clearer:

SELECT a.id, b.name

LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON a.id = b.id

Is this code actually used or an example for the question?

RE: How to Make Layers Visible with OnMouseOver

[Adrian Lynch]

Way too much code to look at!

But using jQuery:


.hidden {
display: none;
}




$(function() {
$("#show").mouseover(function() {
$("#hiddenDiv").show();
}).mouseout(function() {
$("#hiddenDiv").hide();
});
});


Show that div

A hidden div

Rolling off will hide it again. Not sure if you want that or not.

Re: Coldfusion + Flex

[Mike Chabot]

I have used both Flex Builder standalone and the Flex Builder Eclipse
plug-in for substantial periods of time. The stand-alone Flex Builder
is easier to use, unless you are already an experienced user of
Eclipse. The reason it is easier to use is that a typical Eclipse
install has all this extra stuff unrelated to Flex, and the menu
choices aren't as specific to Flex work. If you are learning the
technology, the books and videos are going to show you how to do
things in Flex Builder. Also, unless you clean up your Eclipse install
to remove all the unnecessary plug-ins, it is going to be slower.

The best combination is personal preference. I prefer HomeSite over
Eclipse when editing CF code (not considering ColdFusion Builder).
HomeSite is light-weight, simple to use, quick to load, doesn't use a
lot of computer resources, and does one thing very well. Once
ColdFusion Builder is released, the question of the best IDE will
hopefully be answered definitively.

There are IDEs for Flex other than what Adobe provides. One person I
know who does full-time Flex and Flash work insists that FDT is a much
better IDE. http://fdt.powerflasher.de/
There are other IDEs as well, some of which interface with the free
Flex SDK, allowing you to program in Flex for free.

I heard (possibly from Terrence Ryan) that if you install both
Flash/Flex Builder and ColdFusion Builder, that you should install
Flash/Flex Builder first. Whatever issues led to this recommendation
might be fixed by the time CF Builder is released for sale.

If you are installing these programs for the first time, I recommend
using Flex Builder stand-alone and the ColdFusion Builder beta
version.

Re: Coldfusion + Flex

[Tom McNeer]

As Andy says, no matter how you install it, if you run FlexBuilder, it's
running as a plugin for Eclipse.

The same is true for CFBuilder. It's just another Eclipse plug-in, no matter
how you install it.

So to handle both CF and Flex, you need some combination of Eclipse
plug-ins, either FB and CFB, or FB and CFEclipse. No way around it.

If you have FlexBuilder, even installed as a "standalone," you can just add
CFEclipse as a plugin. That's simple enough, and that's how I have things
running on one of my machines.

Although there's obviously been no official word, I have received strong
suggestions that there will be some sort of Flex Builder 4/CF Builder combo
pricing.

FlexBuilder is the same as running Flex within CFEclipse. They're both built
on Eclipse.

CFBuilder won't let you build Flex apps as it's not Flex Builder.

I have to pay for FB and than run it as a plugin for Eclipse. I don't like

You can use Eclipse with a CFEclipse and FlexBuilder plugins.  Personally I
use Flexbuilder standalone for Flex and CFEclipse separately.

For the officially released products, FlexBuilder and CFEclipse (on
Eclipse) or IntelliJ's counterparts.  If you don't mind beta,
FlashBuilder and CFBuilder (on Eclipse).  I use the first pair
personally.

Re: Simultaneous Web Service Requests From Same Template

[Agha Mehdi]

I'd first try to call a WS method that returns all the rooms inventory (if
one exists). Also, it might be better to schedule the inventory check. that
will depend on how frequently the inventory changes and how important it is
to show real time inventory. I'd even run the schedule task every 2-3
minutes and grab all the inventory and store it in my db. that way, your
site visitors won't have to wait 15+ sec (which is a lot in web world)

Sounds like it might be a job for CFTHREAD  Then the request can
run all web services requests simultaneously then join back together
after all 7 have completed.

re: Simultaneous Web Service Requests From Same Template

[Jason Fisher]

Depends on the web service, I would guess.  Does its API allow you to do a 
search that pulls back all inventory, across the various room types?  Then 
you could iterate over a single collection within the room type loop on 
your server, instead of having to make the round-trip to their server each 
time ...

Simultaneous Web Service Requests From Same Template

[Jason Neidert]

I have an app I am building that hits a web service and returns lodging
inventory.

 

Sometimes there can be as many as 7 room types in a search result.

 

That means it calls the web service 7 times and returns the inventory data
each time.

 

I loop through the 7 room types on the server side and send the room type
and arrival/departure dates to the web service.

 

Is there a way to hit that web service concurrently and store the results in
array or something as they come in?

 

Visual example:

 

Room #1 --- hits web service - returns dataset - 1-3 seconds response

 

Next-Room #2 --- hits web service - returns dataset- 1-3 seconds response

 

Next-Room #3 --- hits web service - returns dataset- 1-3 seconds response

 

And so on...

 

Total execution time can be around 15+ seconds for the page to retrieve
inventory for all rooms before displaying available ones.

 

Thoughts??

Re: ColdFusion 8 Installation Problems

[Al Musella, DPM]

Look in the services applet and make sure all of the cold fusion 
services are there and running..  Check windows event log

Re: ColdFusion 8 Installation Problems

[Dan Baughman]

First thing to try:
Use a browser that will actually show you the error message so we can
actually help you figure out what the problem is.  Nothing against IE here,
but when the server returns an error code IE just throws up it's garbage
error page instead of showing you the message the server returned.

Next you may consider changing coldfusion to stand alone mode, where it
listens on port 8500 without having to interface with IIS.

Let me know what the error is and I'll let you know what I think is up.

Try a reboot after the fail, then go back to the page that failed. Worked for 
me on Monday.

ColdFusion 8 Installation Problems

[Mark Kolaric]

Hi,

I've been trying to set up a web server using ColdFusion 8.0.1 and IIS.
The machine it's installed on is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x86, set up as 
an application server only. It's a fresh install, nothing else done to it, IIS 
is as "out of the box" as it comes. Only changes are full Windows updates.

ColdFusion runs through it's install and the install log reports all files as 
successful with no warnings, non fatal errors or fatal errors. I am installing 
CF with all options except for LiveCycle Data Serives ES.

HOWEVER - Once the install finishes and IE fires up to run the configuration 
wizard (http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm), I get a 'Internet 
Explorer cannot display this webpage' error. This happens no matter wether I 
use 127.0.0.1, localhost or the machine IP, or add port 8500 to the address.

I do note the following is wrong - 
- Both ODBC services were not installed even though it was specified during the 
installation.
- There is no cfdocs folder, again specified to be installed during the 
installation.
- If I install CF by entering the serial numbers (it is an upgrade licence from 
MX 7 to 8), I am not prompted during the install to specify what kind of server 
configuration I would like. Id does propmpt me to choose if I select 30-day 
trial or Developer edition. This might be normal, I'm not sure.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled ColdFusion more times than I'd like to 
remember, as well as removing & reconfiguring the server as an application 
server.
I have run through the "Configuring the Web Server" troubleshooting guide in 
Adobe Online Help and verified all the items in there are installed correctly. 
All the extension mappings and IIS configs are correct from what I can see.

There are no error messages in the system event logs.
This occurs wether I install Coldfusion on the same drive as the inetpub folder 
or if the ColdFusion and inetpub are on different drive, etc.
The other ColdFusion services are running normally, as is the Default Website 
and Default AppPool in IIS. I am able to browse the Default Website otherwise.

Sorry about the lengthy 1st post, I'm just trying to be detailed :)

Can someone help pls?
Mark.
