Does ORM scale?
Just starting to look at the CF ORM stuff, pretty nice API, Hibernate underneath, all good. But as I understand it, ORM queries return arrays of cfc objects, and I'm concerned about performance at scale. On a gut level, I'd rather be able to get a native CF query, which I could deal with in straight CF as usual, or through an IBO if I wanted object-like behavior for that whole collection. So... - Is it possible to have CF ORM return a query, when I want it to? - What's people's experience with this stuff at scale, meaning large result sets, more than departmental traffic etc? Are there any largish sites doing that?

RE: Does ORM scale?
Well if you are doing A LOT of database transactions then you have to consider the additional processing time and memory required by creating all those objects. Instantiating objects is nowhere near as much of a bottleneck as it used to be, so it depends on your application and requirements. It is a trade off at the end of the day, ORM increases productivity and reduces complexity but at the same time you lose flexibility and control and of course performance. If performance and scalability if your big concern for your database then you should perhaps be looking at using stored procedures, I don't know how hibernate copes with these, if at all but as the SQL and logic is in the SP, I can't see benefit to using ORM to call the SP anyway. -- Russ Michaels FREE CFML hosting for developers www.cfmldeveloper.com ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338470 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Does ORM scale?
Not so much thinking about transactions, or avoiding straight queries with stored procs, more about returning large result sets as native queries rather than collections of cfc objects. One possibility of course is to use ORM for single/composite record detail, and native cf queries for search/list etc. That would be looking at result lists as a reporting function, where you'd use different (non-ORM) techniques. Really just wondering if people are using ORM at scale, if they're running into performance/memory issues, and how they're being dealt with if so.

Re: Does ORM scale?
I haven't followed this entire chain, but I have always maintained that when using an ORM, or I call a DAO ( Data Access Object ) there is always the need to append custom functions that do crazy queries when you need to be as efficient as possible. When your using tools like an ORM, it's so that 80% of your work is handled for you, fast and efficient, but it's not to ensure you have to use it for everything. Another thing to think about, when you can't seem to get the speed from an ORM you would like, in order to get the best performance from your code, and to keep your code DB independent, that's when stored procedures come into play. This will keep your code generic, and put the emphasis on the DB of choice, and you can't get better scale or speed for complex needs than just developing the process on the DB.

cfdocument convert ppt to pdf loosing format
Hi, Did anybody managed to use cfdocument to convert a ppt to a pdf and retain the original file formatting and images? If I open the ppt file and then convert to pdf all is well. But if I try to do it from cf using cfdocument it fails miserably. Of course I told the customer it can be done (before actually testing it, just from the docs) and now I'm on the hook. Any ideas how (if) it can be done?

Re: OOP vs cfinvoke
Not 100% sure, but cfinvoke only calls a method, which in theory has to load the object.

Re: OOP vs cfinvoke
No - cfinvoke can be used with an instantiated component. cfset booger = new booger() cfinvoke component=#booger# method=pick ... Why would you bother? Well if a method has a complex API, you may find it nicer to do in tags (cfinvoke+cfinvokeargument). Then again, a method with a complex API is probably asking for a refactoring.

RE: OOP vs cfinvoke
David, IT makes no difference which you use as far a performance is concerned, at least not that I have noticed. I actually prefer to use cfinvoke for readability. You can also make it stateful just as easy using cfinvoke simply by putting it in application scope, then do a search an replace on your code and replace componentname with #application.myvar# in all the cfinvokes.

Re: Does ORM scale?
The rule of thumb we (myself, Brian Kotek, Marc Esher, and Scott Stroz) are using on our first large CF ORM project is: 1. If a service is working with changing data, use ORM. 2. If an operation largely works with one item (e.g. a form or detail page), use ORM. 3. If we're going to show a list of things, especially across tables, get off our butts and write a decent SELECT statement to return a query. The common argument against using a select/vanilla query is What it the getters in my objects model formatting/custom logic? Our response to that is to factor that logic into a helper class that is a) used by the object and b) used where the query is cfoutput'd. -Joe On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 8:44 AM, enigment enigm...@gmail.com wrote: Just starting to look at the CF ORM stuff, pretty nice API, Hibernate underneath, all good.

Re: Does ORM scale?
Thanks Joe, that's pretty much where I was headed too, with the possible/probable exception of using something IBO-like to leverage objects while iterating over a query. I grew up w SQL, never wanted something to just make it go away, but clearly life should be domain-object-centric, not db-centric. Still haven't heard from anyone actually in production with a large-scale ORM app yet. Maybe there just aren't any out there, around a year after CF 9.0. Or maybe they don't read this list, at least this quickly. We'll see...

moveTo on cfwindow no longer working in CF9?
I recently upgraded to CF9 and have noticed that the moveTo function no
longer seems to work to reposition a cfwindow.
I still have a CF8 server running and the same code works perfectly in
CF8, but throws the following JS error in CF9:
Mywindow.moveTo is not a function
Here's the JS code:
rePositionWindow = function(windowName,x,y){
//Get window object
myWindow = ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject(windowName);
winEl = myWindow.getEl();
//move the window
myWindow.moveTo(x,y);
}
Anyone got any ideas? Or another way to position a cfwindow where the
user clicks?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Importing from CSV to a database
I agree using something like Navicat to load the data would be a much better solution, but if you must use code, then I would parse those table names and replace all of the bad characters and spaces before creating the tables. Special characters and spaces just cause too many problems to even try to use in table names. The only non-alphanumeric character I EVER use in a table name is an underscore. Is there some reason you can't rename the tables when they're created to strip away the offensive characters? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338488 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: moveTo on cfwindow no longer working in CF9?
Yeah there are major differences between ExtJS1.1 (ColdFusion 8) and ExtJS
3.1 (ColdFusion 9) you might want to try this instead:
Sets the page XY position of the component. To set the left and top instead,
use setPosition. This method fires the move event.
Parameters:
* x : Number
The new x position
* y : Number
The new y position
Returns:
* Ext.BoxComponent

I recently upgraded to CF9 and have noticed that the moveTo function no
longer seems to work to reposition a cfwindow.
I still have a CF8 server running and the same code works perfectly in
CF8,
but throws the following JS error in CF9:
Mywindow.moveTo is not a function
Here's the JS code:
rePositionWindow = function(windowName,x,y){
//Get window object
myWindow = ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject(windowName);
winEl = myWindow.getEl();
//move the window
myWindow.moveTo(x,y);
}
Anyone got any ideas? Or another way to position a cfwindow where the
user clicks?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: moveTo on cfwindow no longer working in CF9?
the version of ExtJS/Sencha (js library behind cfwindow) in cf9 is
different than in cf8, so a method name could have easily been changed
and is not moveTo() any longer.
try using setPagePosition() method instead of moveTo()
setPagePosition() is the method to move an Ext.Window object in current
version of ExtJS (and hopefully is in cf9's implementation of Ext.Window
too)

Re: CF based Poll?
I normally consider a poll a one question thing. Ie, do you support X. Soundings is meant to be more a survey. That's my opinion anyway.

Re: CF based Poll?
Odd - I don't have any emails from you with your feedback. :) Seriously though - if Soundings was horrible, you could have let me know. Perhaps there was something I could have added, or perhaps you could have contributed something to improve the product. As a free, and open source solution, it can only get better with feedback and contributions.

I would rather develop my own before trying to work with that again. Just my experience with it, I am sure the client and the situation had more to do with it than the product.
