Recommend a good CF-based LMS/WBT Application?

2005-10-13 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Hello All,

Anyone have experience with a CFML-based Learning Management System 
and/or Web Based Training Application? We are considering purchasing vs. 
rolling our own, so any links/resources would be helpful.

Thanks much,

Re: Loop through a structure of structures

Try this:

[CFLOOP collection=RSStructure item=itm]

[cfset thisQuery  =RSStructure[itm]]

Hi all, I think I have been looking at this for too long and cannot figure out 
how to loop through and output a structure of query results.

I have a CFC that will return multiple recordsets. I figured that the only way 
that I could return multiple recordsets from a CFC was to return them within a 
structure. My query runs inside my CFC and returns 17 individual recordsets. I 
create a structure and add each of these recordsets to it so my structure now 
looks like this;

RSStructure
RS1   query - Rows 2
AGE   ID   NAME
  1  221   Wibble
  2  212   Wobble
RS2   query - Rows 3
AGE   ID   NAME
  1  223   Wibble
  2  214   Wobble
  3  305   Woo
RS3   query - Rows 3
AGE   ID   NAME
  1  346   Wibble
  2  237   Wobble
  3  338   Woo

This continues until I have 17 recordsets within my structure. I then return 
this structure to my calling page. Now I must be having a really brain dead 
day because for the life of me I cannot remeber how to reference each of my 
recordsets within this structure so that I can output the data, it must be 
simple but then again so must I be at the moment! Can anybody help this 
flagging programmer?

Dan

Yeah. It's twice as fast as Mach-II, and roughly 4 times as fast as FuseBox 4.

FuseBox uses the FuseDocs standard, which slows it down a little. With Mach-IV, you 
get true MVC coding, together with smart caching that is done through nested structs.

I don't have the site handy, but do a search for Mach 4 structs qry on Google and 
you'll find it.

I'm sorry, I just can't help myself. I just find it interesting how a common theme on

What do you have against the FuseDoc process?

Absolutely nothing. I've always been amazed at the lengthy threads that result from a 
defense or criticism of parts of the different frameworks. I've seen threads where 
people swear by FuseDocs and others where FuseDocs are call a huge waste of time.

It's the bickering of the camps that amuses me. I was trying to bait someone, albeit 
selfishly.

Use Mach-II. It's really fast.

Mach-II uses OO and the new MVC technology. FLiP is good, but compared to MVC, it's like comparing a Chevette to a Corvette.

Right. Mach-II can make an apple faster with OO and MVC and CFML and CFCs than FLiP ever could with .QRY or .DSP files.

Here's a link to some mp3's about FLIP from Jeff Peters and Hal Helms.
It will give you a good idea of what FLIP is.

CFCONTENT and GetPageContext()

2004-10-07 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Greetings.

Anyone run into problems with using GetPageContext().Include()and CFCONTENT to serve, say a PDF file, on the same page.

If I use the following code at the top of a template, everything works as expected: the download dialog pops up in the browser:

cfheader name=Content-disposition VALUE=attachment;filename=document.pdf
cfcontent file=#PathToFileOnDisk# type=application/pdf deletefile=yes

If, however, I do a GetPageContext().Include() to include the file with the CFCONTENT and CFHEADER tags, the PDF binary data gets displayed as a string, right in the browser (instead of prompting for download, or opening directly in Acrobat Reader).

Any ideas on a possible conflict with using GetPageContext().Include() and changing HTML head content?

Any pointers would help!

Any word on what's new in 4.1? I'm very interested, though I'm not a 
full-fledged fuseboxer.

I am a full-fledged FuseBoxer. My recent pre-nuptual agreement was written using the FLiP process as a FuseDoc.

4.1 is supposed to introduce some new MVC tags that really keep the business logic hidden. Rumor has it that Mach-II will be blown away by the OO-oriented style of this new framework. We'll just wait and see.

Re: Microsoft Case Study on BlueDragon.NET

2004-09-20 Thread Alexander Sherwood
At 04:03 PM 9/20/2004, you wrote:

I have to chuckle at the testimonial given by Jerry Goguen, President and CEO of IntraLearn:

When Java came along, we evaluated it and tried building Java-based products, but at the time Java was unstable and had no security.

Oh really? No security...hmmthat seems a little general to me. I guess those nicely protected Win2K boxes made them feel nice and snuggly!

Shortly after Java appeared, Microsoft let us know about ASP and its future ASP.NET strategy. ASP wasn't compelling enough to make us switch from ColdFusion, but when ASP.NET and Visual Studio .NET came out, we were sold, and we made the commitment to switch over to Microsoft tools and servers.

But by this time, Java was well mature, and quite secure. So just when the very objection to switching to Java was overcome, they decided to switch to a relatively new and untested and far more insecure (based on the server products it uses) .NET framework.

BlueDragon is no doubt a solid product, but I hate smarmy crap like this. Why not just say that .NET developers are cheaper and a nice break on licenses from MSFT was the reason for the switch?

Microsoft has written and published a case study on BlueDragon.NET:

Help with GetPageContext().Include()!!!

2004-09-16 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Hello all.

Some strange or (so it seems so) behavior with GetPageContext().Include() function.

If you set a session variable at the top of a page, execute a GetPageContext().Include() below, and try to access the session variable from the included page, CF cannot find the session variable.

If I change the GetPageContext().Include() to a standard [CFINCLUDE], the included page can see the session variable just fine.

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks much,

Why switch to begin with? Do you need functionality in BD that is not in CFMX, or is it the price of the license?

I am going to start doing the planning for my first custom shopping cart

At any rate, ANY advice that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Nope.

If the gateway doesn't support FuseBox 4.5 circuits and the FLiP process (not to mention .qry and .dsp files), then MACR should go with Mach-II listeners.

Mach-II is really the best choice to build the forthcoming remote Java -- CFC invocation event-based gateway, by far.

Decoupling CFMX from the jaws of HTTP has opended new doors for legacy integration. And FB4 makes this possible.

I'm sorry...I just can't help myself. As I was typing the above response, I could see a red-faced FuseBoxer knee-deep in a nested circuit just blowing a gasket at the insinuation that Struts or JSF could be mentioned in the same breath as FuseBox.

You need something to kick this off on a daily basis? You could always use the NT scheduler or another program to automatically open Explorer and hit the URL to do the updating.it's just like the scheduler, only the process is kicked off remotely on a client machine rather than the server.

IIS 5.0/NTLM Authentication

2004-07-01 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Greetings all. 2 Questions:

1) Is there a way to capture 401 authentication errors from within CF? I'm assuming that the request never gets to CF if a 401 is thrown. I know I could create an intermediate template to trap all of the data from the HTTP request and then do a CFHTTP to the protected file and inspect the returned CFHTTP struct. Any ideas on how to do this by making the HTTP request directly to the protected file?

2) Anywway to use basic HTTP authentication with IIS and not have the user credentials be stored in the NT user database?

Thanks much!

The examples shown at CFUN demonstrated how CFFORM could be used to generate

the reponse stream for the user agent to process.However, this would
require a UA that supports XForms.Do any mainstream browsers support it?

Gotcha. So I guess it's really not technically Xforms support, but the ability to use CFFORM to generate an Xforms form instance and then transform it. Pretty interesting.

How 'bout embedding Xforms support in the Flash player?! (I know Denji or Dengi exists.but native support would be nice!).

One could also theoretically write an XSLT that converted the XForms XML to
HTML and included _javascript_ to format the data into the proper XForms
specified data XML file and store that in a form field when the form is
submitted.Would be compliated and not worth the effort, but it seems
technically possible.

Yes, but the spec was designed to incorporate the binding of the form data to the instance documentthereby eliminating the need for the JS hack! ;-)

Gotcha. So if I understand correctly, CFFORM can generate the actual UI XML that a normal Xforms-compliant browser would render. This XML, however, is what the developer has access to and can supply a style sheet to transform this XML instance and have the resulting transformation returned in place of the normal HTML generated between the CFFORM tags?

Anyone catch Ben's Blackstone keynote(s) at CF-FUN? It was rumored that he was going to demo some features not previously shown on the User Group tour this summer.

Anyone have the details?!;-)

Thanks!

yes. We've got a nice VRML config app running off a mixture of FuseDocs and FuseBox 4.0 .qry and .dsp files. Very little manipulation of the .fbx files is required.

Your specific error may be due to text in a document you're working on. It also could be another application interfering with DW by chewing up resources (seen this once or twice).

The SOAP fault looks pretty vanilla (HTTP 401 Error), so I wouldn't look to deep. Now, if the service you're calling (that returns the SOAP fault) is itself using CFHTTP to access a resource, then you might need to check permissions there, too.

Slightly OT: Help with CF/IIS

2004-06-08 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated:

I know you can use host headers with IIS to serve 2 domains with one IP. Can you map a subdomain to the same IP as the root domain entry, and have the same IIS web site/application server the same files for both domain names? I assume this is the default behavior.

For example

DNS entry: www.mydomain.com = 123.45.678.99
DNS entry: sub1.mydomain.com = 123.45.678.99

Will IIS just serve the same pages, regardless of the requested host name, because they are mapped to the same IP?

Thanks for guidance here!

It's worth pointing out that this doesn't have anything to do with
subdomains. I'm pretty sure that you can specify whatever host header string
you like within IIS, and as long as a request to the IP address of the
virtual server contains a Host header with that string, IIS will process it.
For example. I could create a host header string within IIS: foo.bar.baz,
and as long as any HTTP request contained the line Host: foo.bar.baz, IIS
would respond normally. Of course, most nameservers won't know what to do
with a baz TLD, so you probably wouldn't want to do that in real life.

Gotcha. Most of the docs as MS were configuring different hosts to feed off the same IP. I dig deeper and found the docs on giving 1 IIS virtual site multiple identities. I have to say, MS has done a good job of enhancing their search and organizing KB articles!

Thanks for your help, Dave.

Tip: escaping XML delclarations

2004-06-08 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Helpful tidbit that will now be archived:

Trying to strip the XML declaration from the top of XML documents created by CF?

escapedXMLString = ListRest(xmlString, '');

Nothing earth shattering, but cleaner that what I've seen suggested in the various forums.

Yup. The visual Studio.NET is a deal breaker. But, doesn't CS.NET just generate RDF, which is a well known XML vocabulary? You could write the XML yourself and still use the server component, no?

 OK, wait a minute! I've been looking for a reliable alternative to Crystal
Reports for a long, long time. Am I reading this correctly? I'd like nothing
better (in my world of programming) than to never have to deal with Crystal
again. Really :-) If I can get a formatted report (with groupings, sortings,
page numbers, etc), it would save me days of troubleshooting and issue
resolution. I know there are Create PDFs on the Fly alternatives out there
now, but those that I have tried have left me almost as frustrated as
Crystal itself. 

 Any more info on this (screen prints, etc w/o violating NDA) greatly
appreciated.

I wholeheartedly know that CF-Talk is NOT run on FuseBox or some other Framework for that matter! I was hoping the vague reference to .dsp files would provide the [wink wink] needed, but some took this literally!

On the other hand, I find that OnTap framework is better then fuseboxKIDDING!

RE: Mach-II

2004-05-27 Thread Alexander Sherwood

 just plan it very well at first and document it very well. This might 
 account for a large portion of the 9500h you plan to spent on 
 it. But it is well worth it, even on relatively small projects.

Tom stated it perfectly. It's all about planning. Well planned projects are
more likely to be successful regardless of framework or methodology.

No way Jose. Nearly a decade of programming with CF and other languages, I can tell you this is dead wrong. You can plan for 2 years on the best way to cross the Atlantic. If you planned to use a canoe, regardless of how well you planned, you're doomed. You're better of flying. The same goes for frameworks.

Ever heard the _expression_ that The road to hell is paved with good intentions.? The same applies for software development. You can plan till the cows come home, but unless you ** build and execute ** the project plan properly, then you are likely in incur steep software maintenance costs. No matter what, the bottom line is that CF needs to execute code, and unless that code is actually structured and written well, you're up the creek, regardless of how well or how much you planned.

This is what is missed in the typical framework debates. It ** does** matter what framework you use. The notion that any framework will work is hogwash! My guess is this notion stems from the fact that CF developers typically work in small groups where they pick and pull at an application themselves over time and consider this maintenance. A large development team (25-50 developers) must rely on a pre-determined contract on how software will be structured and executed to reduce dependence on each other. This is where the framework comes in. 

Have I used Mach-II? Once, on one project. Will I use it in the future? Without a doubt. Why? Because it provides an incredibly flexible foundation for building web applications that can be (as others have mentioned on this list) maintained and updated with minimal impact on the whole system. This saves money - typically not a concern for someone who's day is filled with deciding between CFSTOREDPROC and CFQUERY.

Don't fall for the some framework is better than none argument.

Dead wrong? I disagree. Well planned applications are bound for success. I
have been programming for a long time as well, in a lot harder languages
than CF and can tell you first hand that a lack of planning and organization
directly leads to software failure (among many other reasons but we are
talking about planning). 

Right. But planning well, by the same token, isn't a guarantee that the project will succeed!

My code is structured and well written, so the emphasis is on the plan. You
can't build a house without a blue print, well you could, but you'd do a
much better job with a plan... Just like with software development.

Yup, and this is what I was getting at: even if you have a blueprint, your house will crumble unless the concrete for the foundation is mixed correctly. It will be weak if the primary support beams aren't positioned properly. It will leak water when you flush if the PVC plumbing joints aren't glued correctlyyou see what I'm getting at here. Blueprints are great, but unless the plan is ** executed ** and built properly, you can wipe your rear with them! ;-)

I have been playing with Mach-II In my spare time and when I get comfortable
enough with it will use it more. Fusebox has been my choice for quite some
time now and it works great: provides great organization, structure,
conventions, etc... This saves money too.

I agree. What gets me is people who claim that Mach-II doesn't scale well. I'd like to see some empirical evidence of this. I know that leaving debugging enabled in the early days slowed a Mach-II app down, but if you've got debugging turned on a production server then you ought to be CFLOG'ed, CFDUMPED'ed and CFFLUSHED'ed! ;-) What is it with the scatological tags, anyway? What's next? CFTURTLEHEAD or CFMONKEYTAIL?

My point here is that both the nitty gritty AND the framework mattergood planning and any framework is not a replacement for writing solid, maintainable software!

In what way is it better at this than Fusebox?I find that my FB3 apps 
are extremely modular and can be easily maintained.

In particular, I found extending the base MachII.Listener and the event-based processing to be really, really flexible. Handling complex execution paths (Like Spectra's old PLPs) is quite easy, all while keeping the model or service layer independent of the UI.

I am finishing up a ** HUGE ** project that is basically a customizable data entry application. A month ago, the specs were updated to require that all of the services accessed by the UI be made available as a SOAP API, completely devoid of a UI. Very few changes needed to be made because of the way Mach-II requires an application to be structured. It forces separation of UI from the model, and I just don't think FB does this nearly as well. Just my $.02.

But if you like FB or OnTap or anyother framework, stick with it, for sure!

Right.

I started my carreer in the end 60ies, on a 1Mhz 16bit processor with 28k RAM, with no hardware floating arithmetic,
and I swear we Re-used any %$/ piece of code we could!
Even a 10 assembler instructions routine was made re-usable if it could be re-used.

Nice.

And event programming is not new either: this 28k processor did use a fairly complex interrupt
system with 16 priority levels, processing queue, dispatcher, you name it.

Sure, but what did the software do? The point is that software toolsets like CFML have so much flexibility, that adopting a standardized way of writing software and modeling interactions between it's pieces is a sound practice. FuseBox, Mach-II, OnTap, etc., just offer different ways to do this.

Pretending that OOP or any new technique has introduced re-usable code is the greater joke of
all the computer industry in 50 years! ;-))

'Cmon, dude! Are you telling me that writing a subroutine in BASIC that is called twice from 2 different GOTO statements is the same as things like Object Inheritence and polymorphism? I get what your saying, but there are major differences, even if at the root you're looking at the principle of reuse.

Frameworks, OOP are just like sects: they set up rules for those who don't know how to behave by themselves;
they are just hobble for others.

Interesting. The next time you need a tooth pulled, just throw back a shot of Cognac and get out your pliers!Replacing cognac with Novacain and pliers with sterile forceps is fooey! We walked 5 miles uphill to school...both ways!... ;-)

And I did not say that OOP claims it is the only way to accomplish this.
But when everybody says OOP allows or enables, or whatever, re-using the code, it promotes the idea that
no code was re-used before, and THIS is just not true. OPP makes re-using code just a bit more systematic,
no more, and good programers will still re-use code just as before, and even with OOP, bad programmers may not.

The reg. fee should be similar for MAX2004. But hotels and flights might be more $$$.

To be honest with you, this sounds like a quite complex application. When you say, must work with their internal system, this sounds, on the surface, like it could be quite complex. If by start looking you mean you're looking for a pre-built application, I'm sure there are a few on the DevExchange. Don't know if they're free, though.

Are you toying with the notion of writing as complete application on your own if you don't find one?

You could also FUSEBOXIFY the form and bury the form name in .DSP and .QRY files nested 8-10 levels deep amd call its FUSEACTION ;-)

Seriously, if you have several forms, why not add a hidden form field in each form with the name of the form as the value? Then your action page could look at the one hidden field, grab its value and then know what form was submitted?

Hope this helps.

I don't really know what that means.

 Are you calling the CFC via a SOAP request?

Yes.

VB does not understand the Map or QueryBean datatypes, so I can't 
return those.I also can't find any information about serializing these 
objects within VB.

Right. This is what I meant above. VB is trying to convert the data types returned from your CFC into native VB data types. This is definitely an issue for many people, particularly when non-CFMX-based services are consuming CFMX based webservices.

You might want to check at the Apache website and see what data types they support in their implementation (Axis) of the Webservices Spec.

AFIK, Map and QueryBean are common SOAP data types, so it might be VB that is crippled in this situation.

Dave Watts is really knowledgeable about SOAP and CFMX's webservice infrastructure.you might look to him for some guidance..

Also rumored: a good bit of gateway functionality, largely centered around SMS. Apparently you can create gateways and assign components to listen to the gateway and respond.

Just a rumor, though.

COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPAuthFailure

2004-05-19 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Has anyone gotten CFHTTP to throw this error?

I can dump the CFHTTP result struct and plainly see that authentication is failing, but I cannot get CFHTTP to throw the COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPAuthFailure exception as annotated in the docs.

Anyone else run into this?

Exception Handling Frameworks?

2004-05-18 Thread Alexander Sherwood
A CFC/modeling/design related question:

I am in the process of creating an application that CFTHROWS several different types of custom exceptions in several parts of the application. They include:

1) Form validation errors
2) Business logic validation errors
3) Database errors
4) Unexpected application errors..plus a few more

Each error type differs slightly in the type of context-sensitive custom information that is added to the CFCATCH struct when the exception in caught. Form validation errors and business logic errors often include a hint that is added in the catch block, then read and output by the UI layer. Other errors caught in the application have other custom data items added used for logging and debugging.

The end result is that various parts of the application listen for specific types of errors and process them when they're found. ** The problem is there is no consistency between the error data structures, how the data is analyzed, and how the application decides what to do with the error information. **

So, the question: has anyone done a Java-style system of using something like ErrorManager.cfc/Error.cfc, where each exception creates a new error object, and the ErrorManager.cfc is queried to receive error information?

Not looking to copy anyone's code here - just some guidance on a solid approach!

Much appreciated!

I'm using a CFC to create a Web service. One of the columns in my query past

I think the markup needs to be stripped from the data and then I think the data

relate each record back to this original table primary id.

Agree? Disagree?

You could encode the HTML text, but then you'll have to escape your entities.

Tricky XML/XPath Question!

2003-12-19 Thread Alexander Sherwood
Here's an XML samplefile:

addresses
address city=New York /
address city=Tampa /
address city=Bethesda /
/addresses

Using the following Xpath and instruction:

Xpath: /addresses/address[2]
Instruction: Insert a new address element before (as a preceding-sibling) 
the element selected with the above Xpath. In this case, it would read 
Insert a new address element between the 'Tampa' and 'Bethesda' address 
elements.

The Problem:

The problem here is that using XMLSearch() with the supplied XPath will 
return the address city=Tampa / without reference to any of the other 
sibling address elements.

What would you do to address this? So far, I have an idea, but it seems too 
hackish:

1) Cache the index of the last location step in the xpath (in this case, 2).
2) Remove the last location step of the Xpath, XMLSearch() again to return 
address[2]'s parent (with siblings now in XmlChildren)
3) Add 1 to the cached index (2+1=3).
4) Create the new address element with XMLElemNew()
5) Use ArrayInsertAt() to add the element to the parent.XMLChildren array, 
using 3 as the insert point.

Anyone see an easier way, perhaps by using the XMLChildPos() function?

Thanks in advance!

Hi All I have the following code that throws an error that I don't

The error is: The type for attribute url of tag page could not be

Looks like an attribute validation error in being performed in the .jar 
file. Perhaps its trying to type the URL variable and cannot determine that 
it is a string? Try it with a simple string like myString and see if you 
get the error again (although the tag might not perform its function 
without a proper URL in the attribute!).

See how that goes.

XMLSearch() woes

2003-12-18 Thread Alexander Sherwood
If you do the following:

XMLSearch(xmlDoc, '/addresses/address[1]/@city'),

you get back an array with one element that contains an empty string. 
Wouldn't you expect it to either return and empty array (because it found 
nothing), or an array with the value of the attribute? I know the docs 
state that XMLSearch returns and XMLElement object, but in this case, it 
most certainly does not!

Anyone have the same problem?!
