Re: Open source ColdFusion forums
what i'd really really really like to see is a fully blown cfml hosting control panel. so not just a control panel that integrates with CF but a control panel that is built on CF. probably built around Railo if you were to go the open source route. the hosting control panel would handle everything from resource allocation to billing to auto account creation and even domain registration. fancy biting that one off? :-) zac P.S. lots of individual packages already exisit that could be brought together to make this happen. FileZilla for FTP LightHouse Pro for bug tracking and support CF-works for billing you get the idea... the list goes on Hi everyone, I've recently taken a new job that has opened up some free time for me, and I'm considering a project I'd thought about long ago but never had time to implement. I'm curious if there is any interest in the development of an open source, ColdFusion-based forum application. The goal would be something comparable to vBulletin or PHPBB done in ColdFusion, done in open source style, completely free. It would seem that Ray's Galleon forums project is still alive and well, so with one open source forum application out in the wild I'm unsure if there is really need for another. So first, I want to be sure there would be interest in such a project; would the community welcome a second open source forum application in ColdFusion? Would anyone use it? Is there really a need for one? Is there some other category of software that I could invest time into that would be better served? I've been writing ColdFusion for over a decade, like many of you, and am interested in contributing back to the community. I welcome any thoughts or feedback you might have. -Justin Scott ~| 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:34 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: cfc creation best practice
Russ, This use to be a huge problem in CF 6 and to a lesser extent CF 7 (probably related to Java 1.4). But as of CF 8 the penalty for instantiation is very slight once the class is compiled. So I have flip-flopped a little bit on this. I used to use a singleton approach and stuff everything in the app scope. But now I'm more judicious and only put things in there that demonstrate a slow instantiation issue. -Mark Mark A.

Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
You have a 32bit server with CF8 which means you have limits.
The memory error may or may not be due to the overall heap size. You need to
monitor the server and see what is happening. Try enabling metrics logging and
verbose GC logging.
Enable verbose garbage collection, is by passing 4 arguments to the JVM
-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -verbose:gc
-Xloggc:GarbageCollection.log
The heap of 1024 is pretty much as big as it can get on a 32bit server. I see
other items to look at though.
Is this a multi-cpu server? If so the try the parallel GC instead.
-XX:+UseParallelGC
The -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:PermSize=64m could also be an issue. If you run
out of memory here you could get that same error. Again, with out turing on
metric logging and verbose GC you are only taking shot in the dark. But try
increasing both to 256m.

What event specifically triggers OnApplicationStart?
In Application.cfc, I know that OnApplicationStart is called when an application starts. I'd like to define that better. From what I've read, this is when the first page is requested from an app (also possible are event gateways and Flash remoting but I'm not using either). So, if I say: this.applicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0); in my Application.cfc and a day goes by since calling OnApplicationStart, isn't it true that the server doesn't invoke my code on its own (like a cron job). It waits for a day to go by and then invokes OnApplicationStart on the next page request - even if that request is hours later? I'm asking because I'm trying to track down some odd behavior in a customer's app. The OnApplicationStart code looks at CGI.SERVER_NAME to determine which config file to load (production, staging, dev, etc.). Twice in the last 6 months, the production system starts to think it's a dev system. Are there cases where CGI.SERVER_NAME could be empty or undefined or... when OnApplicationStart is called? Can I trust that CGI var's are always set correctly in this scenario? ~| 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:343352 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: What event specifically triggers OnApplicationStart?
memory variables only timeout if they are not accessed the specified timeout period. every time anyone loads a page on your site, it accesses the application scope and their session scope, so the timeout is reset back to 0. An application will restart when ColdFusion restarts, when you reach the applicationTimeout, if you force a restart via code or via the CFADMIN/server monitor When you say you use cgi.server_name to determine which variables to use, are you being VERY explicity, as in the SERVER_NAME must match EXACTLY, or are you doing an if/else to say if its this then set as live else set as dev ?

RE: Open source ColdFusion forums
If I were putting as much work as needed to meet the functional, not to mention legal requirements, I would charge a *lot* of money for it. Doctors, medical offices, and insurance providers have plenty of money to pay for it. Not to mention that there are legal requirements that demand certain functionality already, and that's just going to explode, as more medical records are required to be digitally available through Intranets and the Internet for portability and patient access. That's a nightmare of responsibility for a programmer, who is going to be on the bottom of the lawsuit food chain if something goes wrong. If I were a doctor or insurance company, I wouldn't want to utilized *any* software that wasn't backed by a company that I could sue if something were violated legally and I had a doctor/medical practice or, especially an insurance company, coming down on me with a lawsuit because something didn't function exactly as required by law. I use open-source software, such as MySQL, but I wouldn't blame anyone if it didn't exist. It's difficult to run a business on support alone, anyway. -Original Message- From: Judah McAuley [mailto:ju...@wiredotter.com] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 1:01 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Open source ColdFusion forums On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Al Musella, DPM muse...@virtualtrials.com wrote: I would love to see a good open source CF medical office management program that includes electronic medical records as well as billing.

Re: What event specifically triggers OnApplicationStart?
One thing to keep in mind, if you do not have a *unique *ApplicationName on your server, then the variables could be shared w/another application--which is especially dangerous on shared hosting. I've seen people roll out an application w/a common ApplicationName like MainApp and have issues w/their App scope being shared w/another application that also used a name of MainApp. Same thing happens if the Application.cfc/cfm doesn't define a ApplicationName. IMO, the safest thing you can do is name define ever ApplicationName with a hash of the current directory path: cfset this.name = hash(getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())) / That way you can use the same code w/every Application.cfc, but your virtually guaranteed to have a unique ApplicationName. -Dan On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 2:55 PM, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: I think I can see one possible cause of your problem Dave.

Which means that if I (or any joker poking at your site to see if they can do something) who requests your site by its IP address could set your production server into dev mode. Not necessisarily, that would depend on how the web server was set to handle requests. One of my application has a similar setup and IIS will only pass the request to the application if the IP and hostname bindings are correct. If you made a request on the IP itself you'd just get a 301 response with a redirect to the main URL. Of course, if you knew the dev URL you could get into the application in development mode (also assuming you had proper credentials), but you couldn't put the live application into dev mode just by tweaking the HTTP request. -Justin ~| 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:343371 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Is it possible that someone is accessing your site by it's ip address, in an attempt to fool it into something that could enable a hacking attempt?

RE: Open source ColdFusion forums
I didn't say it would be easy:) I wrote the first billing program that was certified by Medicare in NY to transfer claims directly from a doctors office to Medicare (Over 30 years ago:) I changed it over to a web application around the time coldfusion 2 was released and a few doctors are still using it. However, with all of the coming changes, it will soon be obsolete and I would have to start from scratch basically. Many doctors - maybe most - are in a bad position now. There have been cuts every year for the last 20 years.. and we are at the point where the profit margins are so thin that some doctors are going out of business. They close up the private offices and go to work for insurance companies or join huge groups. The HiTech act gives doctors an incentive to move to electronic medical records. The incentive is about $44,000 per doctor to use electronic medical records. And soon - if you do not use it - they will penalize you by taking a small % of your payments back. I have been evaluating many EMR packages - from open source to very expensive. None of them are really suitable for a small medical practice. There is a catch to that $44,000 incentive. You have to spend more time on record keeping and billing. A LOT more time. We basically have a first generation of programs again - and they look it. All of the old programs that went through many generations of fine tuning are obsolete. For most of the EMRs, they just slapped on more screens to qualify, without regard for the doctors who have to use it, thinking the $44,000 will offset the additional time, but it doesn't. Quick example: With my current system, it takes me about 30 seconds to write the chart and enter the bill. With the best of the new systems, it takes about 3-4 minutes to do the same thing. If an average doctor sees 30 patients in a day, that takes 15 minutes of the doctor's time for paperwork on my system, over an hour and a half for the new system.. Is over an hour a day of wasted time for 5 years worth $44,000? That works out to getting paid $33 an hour for extra paperwork - but average overhead is over $150 an hour... so by getting the bonus, you lose over $110 an hour while doing the paperwork instead of gaining. That doesn't count the huge bills being charged by most EMR vendors. I considered creating a system that could be certified under the new rules.. but I don't think it could be commercially viable - we would have to charge too much and there are way too many systems out there now to compete against. However, a group effort to produce an open source EMR might open up a big opportunity for many people to get into the support business. Most doctor offices need an IT person to keep the computers running and someone to call when there are problems. I picture all of the people who work on the project being able to list themself as support people for the program in their area. Either an hourly rate or yearly service contract. Perhaps also offer hosting of it. By having a lot of creative minds working on it - we could have numerous user interfaces to suit every type of doctor. The doctors could try out the various ways of entering the information and pick the way they like best, and offer suggestions on how to improve it. I read the qualifications to get certified.. they are not complicated - just a lot of them. Nothing that a team of CFers couldn't handle!

Doctors, medical offices, and insurance providers have plenty of money to pay for it. Not to mention that there are legal requirements that demand certain functionality already, and that's just going to explode, as more medical records are required to be digitally available through Intranets and the Internet for portability and patient access. That's a nightmare of responsibility for a programmer, who is going to be on the bottom of the lawsuit food chain if something goes wrong. If I were a doctor or insurance company, I wouldn't want to utilized *any* software that wasn't backed by a company that I could sue if something were violated legally and I had a doctor/medical practice or, especially an insurance company, coming down on me with a lawsuit because something didn't function exactly as required by law. I use open-source software, such as MySQL, but I wouldn't blame anyone if it didn't exist. It's difficult to run a business on support alone, anyway. -Original Message- From: Judah McAuley [mailto:ju...@wiredotter.com] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 1:01 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Open source ColdFusion forums On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Al Musella, DPM muse...@virtualtrials.com wrote: I would love to see a good open source CF medical office management program that includes
Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
NewGen switches are odd. I am not sure about the NewGen configured with -Xmn100m and also -XX:NewSize=48m both switches are for configuring NewGen however set to differing sizes. Perhaps the java heap error is related to this remembering that Heap is made up of NewGen and OldGen or YoungGen and Tenure (if you like those name conventions instead)? Suggest loose one or the other NewGen setting from JVM arg and see if java heap errors cease. Logging is always are good idea rather than just guessing at the problem. I do not mind the low pause collector in combination with the newgen collector. HTH, Carl. Wil, I rather like the low pause collector combined with the UseParNewGC. It works quite well for us on our high traffic multi-instance servers. -Mark I have never tried to run two garbage collectors. I'm not sure that is a good idea. On multi-cpu/core servers I have only used -XX:+UseParallelGC Also, the default time the GC runs is once per minute. This may or may not work for your application. To adjust that use the settings below. They are set to 10 minutes. Again, adjust the numbers to suite the needs of the server and application. -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=60 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=60 Wil Genovese Sr. Web Application Developer/ Systems Administrator CF Webtools www.cfwebtools.com wilg...@trunkful.com www.trunkful.com On Mar 28, 2011, at 10:48 AM, tom vallee wrote: i should replace -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC and -XX:+UseParNewGC or only -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC with : XX:+UseParallelGC ~| 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:343375 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
