RE: Is CFMAIL reliable??
I can only say I've not ran into any issues with the spool needing to be kick started and we send ridiculous amounts of email all day from about 20 different CF 8.01 enterprise servers... all via cfmail. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Brook... Haven't used CFMail heavily for a year or so, but I've always found it fairly reliable.

Changing Application settings at runtime
So I have something like this at the top of application.cfc: But I want to be able to change these settings when I (somehow) detect that the server is down. From what I have read the only way to do this would in onRequestStart or onRequestEnd. So I can set up a request scoped flag that triggers the update, fine, but is that really the only way? Is there no way to call a method of application.cfc within the scope of the application?

Re: PDF maker tag
Jim, You can buy a PDF creation custom tag for CF5, that I think was called CFX_PDF, although it has been a while since I last saw that. With CF5 I have also used the commercial ActivePDF Toolkit COM object. There was a popular free HTML to PDF converter that I used with CF back in the CF5 days, that had some generic name like HTMLtoPDF, although these days I might first look to the open source library that powers the modern cfdocument tag in CF9 called iText. Or you could upgrade to CF9. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 8:54 AM, Jim Mixon wrote: > > Can anyone point me to a tag or whatever that I can use with CF5 to create > .pdf's on the fly? > > Does one exist for CF5? > > thanks a mill! > > jim ~| 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:348957 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Is the CF scheduler Reliable?
I think the ColdFusion scheduler works great and can be used for mission-critical applications. I don't think you will find too many fundamental complaints about using it, unless perhaps you are looking at complaints from 10 years ago. Occasionally you will see comments about a scheduled task not executing, but I think all of these end up being user error where people don't enter a configuration setting correctly, or they have an error in the page being executed. Other times you will see comments about a task running more than once, but most of these are people forgetting that they set up the same scheduled task on a development or test server. I can't think of too many issues with using the cfscheduler that are not ultimately the result of user error. The daylight saving time clock adjustment can be a source of uncertainty, but this would be the case for any task scheduler. If a page execution takes longer than the scheduled repeating interval, say it takes 15 minutes to run a page that is scheduled to run every five minutes, and there is no multi-threading protection in the code, then this can be another source of problems. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 6:25 PM, Brook Davies wrote: > > How reliable is the CF Scheduler?

Is the CF scheduler Reliable?
How reliable is the CF Scheduler? For years we have used the infusion mailserver and its Infusion Scheduler App/Service. Its always worked great but since that product is dead/no longer supported, we need to find a new way of running scheduled tasks and adding/removing scheduled task programmatically. In the past I have seen lots of posts about the built in scheduler being unreliable. What I need to know is can the built in scheduler be used reliably for mission critical applications?

cfstored proc question
Hi All - In our coldfusion code, there is a cfstoredproc block in which some parameters are being passed in. Couple of paramaters are of "out" type. In the above code, the third paramter is a out type, and the variable attribute is surrounded by hashes. What does that mean? In some cases, the procedure works fine, but in some cases it throws the following error You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members. ~| 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:348950 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
SOT: Mobile Web App Dev Problem
Anyone working Android web apps? If so, have you run into an issue when creating a form such that your first select field (particularly if it's the first field in the form) will not change values when another value in selected on an Android Smartphone? Not sure at this point if this is happening in iPhones, not. You can see this effect right here... http://hre-mobile.wsm-dev.com/modules/search-properties/search-properties.cf m Just click on the "search form" button and the search form will pop up. Try to change the first value and see what happens. I tried to fix this using JS focus events with hidden fields, etc., but nothing effects this. On another form in another web app, I was able to put a text input first and let users click out of that field and into the first select. That works, but that's not a good option here.
