CFPDF Performance Issues
I'm having a bit of a weird issue with the creation of PDFs. The issue is quite simple, we have two servers and one is generating PDFs much faster than the other. The weird thing is that the server which is slow is our 64bit production server running CF 8.0.1 Enterprise and the faster server is the old 32bit CF 8.0.1 standard box. One would logically expect the big fast production server to process the PDF much faster. I'm using the exact same CFML page to generate the PDF including the same data, images, etc. The problem I'm having is trying to get to the bottom of what is causing the difference in speed. To that end does anyone know what might cause the CFPDF service to take a long time to create the PDF? I'm seeing nothing in my logs and the performance monitor only tells me that the page is slow. Any ideas are most welcome because this one has me completely stumped. :) ~| 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:345249 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: assigning javascript variable to coldfusion.Please assist
OK. It looks like I misread your code earlier -- I thought you were hard-coding the variable, when you were actually getting it from a cfinput. Unfortunately, I haven't used Dreamweaver in years (since MX 2004, I believe), so not sure how you'd do it in there. Others here probably have experience with that. But, I guess I'm not certain what exactly the goal is. If the URL is being provided by user-input in a cfinput, then a cfmodule at the end of that page won't be able to get that (because the cfmodule is processed before the page is displayed to the user). Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to accomplish a bit more, and I (or someone else on here) would be able to help you accomplish that (or provide a better way to do it).

Re: Homesite 5.5
I hate to sound like I'm hating on CFB - I love CFB - but I'm giving up on using it for front end dev and just going to use it for pure CF. I agree 100% with this. And it's not hating on CF. It's just using CF's stronger attributes (server side computing) and using other tools for client-side. It is very tempting anytime someone asks a question about cfform or cflayout to advise someone to switch to an alternative method, but I hold my tongue. To each their own.

Re: CFPDF Performance Issues
What type of speed differences are you seeing? Milliseconds or seconds? Is it consistently slower at creating any PDF, or is it only a particular PDF that is slow? Is the more powerful server also handling a lot more traffic/processing activity, outside of the PDF creation event? If you remove all the images from the PDF, is there still a noticeable speed difference? -Mike Chabot On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 4:48 AM, Edward Chanter firew...@cc.uk.com wrote: I'm having a bit of a weird issue with the creation of PDFs.

RE: CFPDF Performance Issues
On the dev server generating a simple page takes about 7 seconds, on the fast production server it takes about 15 seconds. That's including images and stuff. I created simple HTML page with the word test on it and that comes through very quickly so it does feel like the issue is related to images or CSS or something. I've seen a lot of posts online (and in cf-talk) about calling the images using file:// instead of the http. I tried that in my code but it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm using a CFHTTP request to grab a page URL and then taking the #fileContent# and embedding that into the cfdocument tags. It's weird though because both servers talk to the same code and database so if there was an issue with images then one might expect it to happen on both servers. -Original Message- From: Mike Chabot [mailto:mcha...@gmail.com] Sent: 14 June 2011 14:03 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFPDF Performance Issues What type of speed differences are you seeing?

Re: CFPDF Performance Issues
We've seen that when we have CFPDF's with Images that as ridiculous as this sounds sometimes we need to move the images to different domains (multi domain system on same CF server) or sometimes just different folders.

Re: CFPDF Performance Issues
Image handling is the most likely cause of the slowness. The first test I would do is to temporarily take out every image, or knock out all HTML tags if you are pulling content from CFHTTP, to see how many seconds those tags contribute to the creation time. -Mike Chabot On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 9:31 AM, Edward Chanter firew...@cc.uk.com wrote: I will try that, thanks :) It'll take me a while because the pages are relative complex but I will let you know how it goes. -Original Message- From: Patrick Kerley [mailto:kerl...@yahoo.com] Sent: 14 June 2011 14:14 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFPDF Performance Issues We've seen that when we have CFPDF's with Images that as ridiculous as this sounds sometimes we need to move the images to different domains (multi domain system on same CF server) or sometimes just different folders.

RE: CFPDF Performance Issues
I tried a very simple test of using replace() to edit the URL of the images to our dev box so the image come from a different domain. The loading time of one 4 page PDF went from 2+ minutes to about 6 seconds so it seems like this is the problem. I don't understand why it's just started happening; this code has been live for over a year without anyone complaining.

So to flog the preverbial undead horse
I've been a CF developer for over 8 years. in that time I've seen I don't know how many threads on how CF is a dying language. In my experience however it seems to have a consistent level of demand. Recruiters have told me that in the future I should move out the CF field and more into C#/ASP realm. I'm very happy in my current position and I am compensated quite well. But as someone who is 36 and with 2 children there is some concern about future career. So my question to all of you is easy: can you convince me that CF will continue to pay my bills, clothe my children and put bacon in the beans? If not, suggest some alternative pathways (honestly with a CIS/Business minor degree I've thought about IT management.).

This is not a CF issue as much as it is a don't be a one trick pony issue.

Re: Regular Expression Help
Give this a go:
cfset Result = InputText.replaceAll
( '~\{(?:(?!/a).)+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'
, '$0}~'
) /
It uses the java replaceAll regex function so that it can do the negative
lookbehind to ensure existing correct items are not changed, meaning it can be
run multiple times.
Accepts any character (except newline) until it finds a closing A tag.
If newlines are required, that's just a one character change:
'~\{(?s:(?!/a).)+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'
(Which adds the 's' flag into what was a non-capturing group, meaning '.' also
matches newlines.)
If there's the possibly of a '~{' appearing outside this context, it may need
extra limits applied to work correctly.
Assuming there should not be any tags inside the ~{...}~ part, I would change
the '.' for a '[^]' which makes it a bit 'safer':
'~\{(?:(?!/a)[^])+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'

To be clear, you _don't_ have to pay for the editor. If you don't want Flash Builder you can write your code anywhere and compile via the command line. Flex is free. Flash Builder is not.

Re: 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
I'm migrating an app and just ran into the same thing.
it's still a function, just another one the effing bozzos at adobe loused up...
The moveTo method is expecting the 'el' property of the window to contain an
Ext.Element object but the CF constructor only loads the window id in there and
the moveTo method doesn't check or validate it (this is the same as in CF8, but
in CF8 the window constructor wisely uses the Ext BasicDialog constructor which
correctly allocates an Ext.Element to the el member )
I haven't exhaustively researched this yet, but this will certainly break other
Ext methods as well.
As far as I can tell from looking at the script it doesn't appear that there
would be any fallout from correcting their mistake an assigning an instance of
an Ext.Element to the el member of the object like this:
myWin.el=Ext.get(myWin.el);
do this after you create the window object.
btw in CF8 you had to create the window and then get a reference to it
separately, now the window constructor returns an object reference:
old:
ColdFusion.Window.create('myWin','title',null,})
var myWin=ColdFusion.objectCache['myWin'];
new:
var myWin=ColdFusion.Window.create('myWin','title',null,});
if you really really want to fix it so you don't have to do that assignment
every time you create a window you can modify you cfwindow.js file line 139:
flawed:
_de.el=_de.divid;
fixed:
_de.el=Ext.get(_de.divid);
if you can't modify that line because you're on a shared server you can opt to
copy the whole createJSObj() function to a localized file and override the
default version of the function for your clients. Lines 126 - 204 in cfwindow.js

Re: moveTo on cfwindow no longer working in CF9?
Unless I read you wrong, this is not something the effiing bozos
(real classy there) at Adobe loused up.
The version of Ext that shipped in CF9 is updated from CF8.
This means that if you performed any _native_ functions on the
objects, then there is a chance the API was dropped in the newer
version of Ext.
This is not a CF bug. At worst, you can blame Adobe for updating their
version of Ext, but I guess they assumed that if you were going to be
using Ext natively then you can probably handle checking the docs and
updating your code.
A lot of people ran into this with CFGRID. They would write code to
get the grid object, ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject, and then do stuff
with that result.

Give this a go:
cfset Result = InputText.replaceAll
( '~\{(?:(?!/a).)+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'
, '$0}~'
) /
It uses the java replaceAll regex function so that it can do the negative
lookbehind to ensure existing correct items are not changed, meaning it can be
run multiple times.
Accepts any character (except newline) until it finds a closing A tag.
If newlines are required, that's just a one character change:
'~\{(?s:(?!/a).)+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'
(Which adds the 's' flag into what was a non-capturing group, meaning '.' also
matches newlines.)
If there's the possibly of a '~{' appearing outside this context, it may need
extra limits applied to work correctly.
Assuming there should not be any tags inside the ~{...}~ part, I would change
the '.' for a '[^]' which makes it a bit 'safer':
'~\{(?:(?!/a)[^])+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'

Prior to rendering the el member may be a string and the body, header, footer properties aren't present; and of course calling certain methods (such as alignTo) prior to rendering is ill advised. Once rendered the el is resolved to an Ext.Element and the body, header, and footer properties are accessible. -- === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master Email : r...@camdenfamily.com Blog : www.coldfusionjedi.com Twitter : cfjedimaster Keep up to date with Android news: http://www.androidgat ~| 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:345303 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?
Yes, and another mistake is your sample program: 10: open mouth ; 20: insert (foot || keyboard); 30: goto 10 This creates a never ending loop, so I hope you like the taste of feet / keyboard :-) Robert B.

I used to write loops like this on the Apple 2s at Sears. Or any machine I could run BASIC on. 60 seconds to type, run it, walk away. Sad. That's what passed for me being naughty when I was 10.

Re: Homesite 5.5
FWIW, the other Eclipse based IDE for CF, CFEclipse runs on Linux. On the Dev UI discussion...I have a related question... Does the CFBuilder Plugin work on Eclipse on a linux box? I can understand the standalone being a windows only thing as they put the package together using the Windows Binaries...but would the plugin work? I wanted to give it a try again with the new version...but I didn't see a *nix version anywhere.

CF 32bit or 64bit
I'm running Windows Server 2008 and I'm not sure which version of CF was installed on the server, 32-bit or 64-bit. I've looked in the settings summary and I can't see. I tried to install the 9.0.1 64-bit updater and got some error The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service could not be started. Check the server coldfusion log files for more information. And then something about a specified file not being found. So I'm wondering if I installed the wrong version of the updater. Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks! I reverted back successfully by moving the files in the updater_backup back to the ColdFusion9 directory and the the files in the jre_preinstaller folder (I think that was the name...) ~| 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:345314 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
