RE: CFHTTP Question!
Allan, What is the URL you need to type into a browser in order to run menu.asp? That is the URL you need to specify for using CFHTTP. (Remember when using CFHTTP it is the ColdFusion server running the request so the URL needs to be from the perspective of what the ColdFusion server can see the menu.asp page as which could mean using a 127.0.0.1 or localhost address since it is on the same server. Also, in general better to use IP addresses to avoid domain name resolution issues though you loose the obvious benefits.)

RE: Dynamic page processing
2) Create actual blank pages on the filesystem named astronomy.cfm, etc when the content is created, then use application.cfm to get the ball rolling.Is there much, if any, overhead in using the application.cfm file in this manner? A variant of this approach that is used by content management systems like CommonSpot (http://www.paperthin.com http://www.paperthin.com/ ) is to have stub pages which set up various variables etc. that the framework uses e.g. have an astronomy.cfm stub page which simply includes/redirects/modules the actual content. This requires the publishing and synchronizing of these stub pages when content is being added/updated but you can utilize this to your advantage by allowing them to cache various page settings. This approach is somewhere in between having fully published static pages which are very fast to serve and fully dynamic pages which are always up to date but draining on the server.

RE: Nesting CFTRANSACTION?
Jim, There are several approaches one can take here. One of those possibilities is to utilize the Composite Design Pattern (google will give you endless examples including: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2002/jw-0913-designpatterns_p.h tml) perhaps in combination with the Strategy Design Pattern to implement the transaction control (again google will help) Another approach, if Composite is not appropriate for your parent-child hierarchy is to allow transaction control to be handled by a service-oriented CFC leaving the finer granular CFCs free to ignore the issues of transactions. After all, once you include the transaction control at the lowest level, it precludes that CFC being used as part of any larger transaction in the future and that includes ones you havent thought of yet. Andr -Original Message- From: Jim Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 October 2003 06:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: Nesting CFTRANSACTION? I'm in a position where a component can have a parent/child relationship with other components of the same type. When I delete a single component, no problem - the method starts a transaction, deletes the component information from the database, cleans up references to it in several join tables and updates a couple of administrative tables. When a component has Children I would like to delete them as well in the same transaction.The best way to do this, of course, is to loop through the children and call their delete() methods. However when I do this (as I am) from with the parents delete() method (making the call sorta recursive-like) I get the error we all know and love: Cannot nest CFTRANSACTIONS In short I don't want to really nest a transaction (that makes no real sense) I simply want a way to include all the work in a single transaction.Some way to determine if I'm in a transaction already and not try to start a new one. I'm trying to find some way to do this, perhaps by catching and using the nesting error itself - but nothing remotely elegant is presenting itself. Any solutions, ideas or workarounds?

HTH, Calvin - Original Message - From: Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 8:38 AM Subject: RE: dreamweaver stuff I'm trying to acclimatize to dreamweaver and I'm hoping somebody on the list can tell me if theres a way to do these 2 things: 1) display the entire file path in the dreamweaver title bar. Having only the file name and the last directory visible and not being able to get the full path from file properties, etc. makes it really difficult for me to keep track of what I'm doing, especially when I've got more than one site with the same directory and I need to know which site I'm editing. 2) eliminate the Update Files: Scan site for links to renamed files? dialog when I remove or rename files. First, let me preface this by saying I haven't worked much with DWMX 2004; I have worked quite a bit with DWMX 6.1, though. Unfortunately, I don't have definitive answers for either question, and suspect that for both of them, the answer is no, you can't do that. However, within the site-based work style encouraged by Dreamweaver, these behaviors make sense. When you create a site, one of the benefits of this is that you don't have to deal with file paths directly, when working with that site. Dreamweaver provides a site-relative path in the title bar, and in theory, you shouldn't have to worry too much about where on the filesystem the site files actually are - after all, you may have local and remote site information within your site definition, and those paths may well change between the two. It would be nice, though, if the Site panel updated to show the site containing the file you're actually working on. Also, when you move or rename a file through Dreamweaver, the Update files dialog box is one of the benefits - it automatically fixes any references to that file. If you do these operations through your filesystem browser instead of through Dreamweaver, you won't get a prompt within Dreamweaver, though. A lot of the Site stuff is best suited to a specific way of working, and if you work that way, it's very helpful. If you don't, though, it may be less helpful. I find it very useful for working with static HTML, and for managing Contribute users. For application development, I find it less helpful, although I still typically use it anyway. DWMX 2004 deemphasizes the reliance on setting up sites, as I understand it, so you may want to take a look at it.

RE: wanted features (was Re: (Admin) disclosure)
Michael, You should be able to utilize the underlying HttpSessionListener interface to monitor session creations and destructions, though that requires writing an appropriate Java class which isn't a big deal if you don't mind getting your hands dirty with Java. You'll also need to use J2EE sessions. Admittedly, having a native ColdFusion hook for these events would be useful i.e. you register a CFC that listens for these events and when the event occurs all the listening CFCs get notified with the appropriate event. Unfortunately, CFCs don't support interfaces so this might be a little tricky to implement i.e. deciding which method in the CFC to call. Are you aware of the SessionTracker class that maintains a collection of sessions for a given ColdFusion application? André -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 September 2003 06:07 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: wanted features (was Re: (Admin) disclosure) The two biggest requests for new functionality I here are: 1) End of session processing (however it's done, an event model, a special template handler, etc - people are always asking how do I tell when a user is about to time-out). That would be great. OnEventEnd as a setting of some sort in the CFAPPLICATION tag to run a template when the specific event ends (OnSessionEnd, OnApplicationEnd). An admin or programatic way of watching the current session information would also be great. You can hack such a thing now, but built in would be so much nicer. 2) Direct Image manipulation (at the very least information access and resizing - it seems like every other week somebody is asking how to do a thumbnail gallery). This is pretty easy nowadays if you know a little Java - but many CFers don't. Direct image, PDF, RTF, etc. manipulation/creation. We can create graphs on the fly nativly in CF, we can create images using the CFX_Image tag, we can use X,Y, or Z product to create PDFs. Why not make it all native to CF. Even if NNTP's not in demand it does seem like one of the only major protocols that CF doesn't support natively. For that reason alone it might be nice to see it in there (Supports all major Internet protocols). My point. :) ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:137508 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm

RE: Massaged query output to Excel file (was query output to Excel fi le)
George, I have done this and it works quite successfully. I use XSLT to transform the XML into both tab delimited and csv format amongst others then in combination with cfcontent I allow the user to export/save the data in their desired format. The XML document is built up at the same time as it is being displayed in HTML e.g. In your cfloop cfloop td#column1#/td cfset xmlDoc.xmlRoot.xmlChildren[rowIndex].xmlChildren[i].xmlText = column1 /cfloop You could of course generate the HTML/Report output using XSL too but I found it more efficient to generate the HTML and XML document concurrently because the HTML view will always be seen before the user optionally exports it to another format.

RE: Load Balancing
Shahzad,
A few pointers:
If you locate the relevant services via the services applet you can
specify files to run on various events including:
First Failure
Second Failure
Subsequent Failures
In addition to specifying a file to execute you can indicate you want
the service automatically restarted.
If you go with the batch file route, its just a matter of using net
start with the appropriate service name e.g.
Net start ColdFusion MX Application Server
You can find the name of the service name by right clicking on the
appropriate service and looking at the general tab.
There are already batch files provided for stopping and starting MX
services:
Start.bat
Stop.bat
Located here:

RE: Problem calling CFC from .NET
In other words you need to come up with your own mechanism for maintaining a session across web service invocations. This is fairly trivial and there are different approaches you can take. If you called the CFC as a web service from within ColdFusion you'd have the same problem. However, you called it as a local object which meant it would maintain its state. The access attribute being set to remote only indicates that the CFC can be called as a web service not that it IS a web service only CFC.

Sorry, I thought this was very obvious but I guess I'm making assumptions - no offense intended :( That would make sense, I just was not aware that CF will not maintain state on calls to web services. Well, it's more that the *client* isn't maintaining session so each time CF is called, it treats it as a new session (imagine turning off cookies and not being able to add tokens to the URL). I was hoping that it could maintain state through some mechanism similar to session management, which I don't believe is unreasonable to fathom. Normally session management occurs through collaboration between the server and the client. It relies on the client following a protocol, either through cookies being passed back and forth or through URL data. Web Services can be called by a wide variety of clients that know nothing about cookies or URL parameters - so there is nothing for the server to hang on to...

GetPageContext() allows you to gain access to the underlying JSP/Servlet page context.

RE: CFUnit
Although I haven't got the DRK or seen the code for CFUnit, what I gather from Christian's article is that the CFUnit framework is merely just one single CFC!! i.e. it is vastly simplified compared with JUnit. Again, this is mostly guess work but it probably goes something like this: A singe CFC called TestCase.cfc containing a method run(). This run method implements the Template Method design pattern i.e. it calls some other private methods like setUp() and teardown() etc. At some point during the proceedings CFC metadata is used to introspect the CFC for all methods beginning with test. These test methods are called one by one. Inside of each of the test methods you invoke the CFC you are testing and subsequently invoke some assertion methods (which are defined in the base TestCase.cfc). These assertion methods are presumably fairly trivial and comprise of things like assertEquals, assertTrue etc. Obviously you can add your own assert methods to the base class as needed. Again, I'm guessing but I think all these assert methods do is output an HTML table row with the results of the assertion. I could be way off because as I said I haven't seen the implementation of CFUnit but I think that's pretty much it i.e. ONE CFC! And no where near as complex as JUnit. On your point about having an equals method: This would be feasible if the CFC you were testing implemented and equals method which was able to tell whether it was equal to another CFC by way of comparing instance variables/object state etc. i.e. it would require a custom implementation of an equals() method for every CFC that you built - just as you would have to do in Java (using the default implementation of equals() defined in the Object base class that everything extends USUALLY doesn't provide the results you are after) André -Original Message- From: webguy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 July 2003 18:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFUnit It can quite easily be transferred to CFC.

RE: Caching cfc objects in the application scope
Raymond, Can you perhaps quantify a little in terms of the level of stress that you have found to trigger this behavior? If it does turn out to be a bug and it isn't rectified in Red Sky then there are some serious implications for CFC based application frameworks such as FBMX which of course relies on an application level CFC. In addition, migrating to use of the server scope instead (if that turns out to be a solution) would not be practical in most cases.

The bugs I found were confirmed by MACR engineering, however, they were always stored in the application scope, so maybe that had an impact.

RE: CF Flash (crazy idea?)
Is there a particular reason why Flash is being mandated or needs to be used? If not, it would be just as possible to build using DHTML though that doesn't mean Flash shouldn't be used after all you'll have to deal with cross browser issues with the DHTML approach - however I believe the database interaction would be slightly easier. I would perhaps implement this as a two step process: 1) The user builds up a list of form elements - no wysiwyg involved - just normal web application stuff selecting from a pre-defined set. Then they would set properties for each element they add. You could allow the ability of setting maximum and minimum sizes, mandatory/non-mandatory, look up values etc. This list is then persisted - perhaps to a database of some sort. You can also create a table which would be able to hold the contents of the form. 2) Step 2 allows the user to arrange the elements they selected in step 1 on the screen via drag and drop techniques. In addition, you could allow the appropriate styling of the elements at this stage. Once this is done, the co-ordinates and positioning can be persisted - again perhaps to a database. It should then be feasible to build the form dynamically on-demand - including client-side and server-side validation and also perform the database insert into the newly created table by automatically creating the appropriate SQL provided you captured enough data initially. There doesn't seem to be any reason why this can't be done and indeed it has been done to varying degrees e.g. CommonSpot's simple form builder etc. André -Original Message- From: Michael T. Tangorre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 July 2003 15:59 To: CF-Talk Subject: CF Flash (crazy idea?) Hi everyone. I have an idea and need to know if it is within the capabilities of Flash and CF. What I would like to do is provide an interface for users to come to, where they can create forms and position the form elements and element labels wherever they wish (within a maximum area). How I envision this working would be to provide within the interface an area that contained a list of possible form elements to choose from (text input, text area, radio, check). When a user dragged one of these into the form area they could give it a label and fill in the attributes of that element as well as position the element and its label wherever they wanted (within the bounds of course). Now for the crazy part... Would it be possible to take that Flash movie that the user interacted with to create the initial form and process it into an HTML form where the layout was almost identical if not exactly identical to how it was created via the Flash interface (from a positioning and layout standpoint)? I was thinking maybe there are some functions in flash to get element coordinates, etc... The idea would be that this form could be used within an HTML email or website to gather user feedback. The second part would be to build some kind of container on the backend whereas those results/responses could be stored. Obviously this is a complex idea, one in which is beyond the scope of my abilities at this time. Anyone have thoughts, ideas, technologies to look at, etc... ?

RE: Active PDF?
I couldn't agree more.
I have achieved a similar work flow using FDFs and ColdFusion without
problems (except some people not having Acrobat Reader installed) at a
rate of approximately 100 per hour.
I also have used Active PDF and believe it to be overpriced and overkill
for the requirements outlined though for certain things relating to PDF
generation it is the most suitable solution on the market.

Jim,
I'm using cfml to dynamically create fdf files. The link you supply to
your interface calls the fdf. Within the fdf are all your dynamic data.
The fdf itself hold a pointer to a blank pdf template. The template is
loaded and all the data goes in the right holes. Acrobat reader (free
version) supports form submission. Basically all the data comes back to
you via http and is in the form scope when you go to process it.
Overall there are many ways to do this , but this one is free.

RE: Parse cfm templates stored in a variable?
Mathew,
Actually you can evaluate functions too e.g.
#Evaluate(Len('foo'))#
Naturally, you cant easily deal with loop constructs or conditional
logic.
When I said it would technically be possible - I meant it would be
possible by using a suitable mechanism e.g.
You could parse the file by semi-colon and then Evaluate each line
e.g.
If the file contained this:
Foo = 'bar';
Bar = 'foo';
Baz = Left(foo bar,3);
Then you could turn that into:
Evaluate(foo = 'bar',Bar = 'foo',Baz = Left(foo bar,3));
Or a separate Evaluate for each line. I have done this successfully in
the past when it was advantageous to allow a knowledgable user to enter
some scripting which could then get executed at run time - much like you
would do with VBScript/Javascript.
HOWEVER, this is all way too much for what the original question was.
It all depends on the context of why the include files are being put
into the application scope for in the first place.
If they are being held there to be used dynamically whereby the output
or result of the include is going to be different each time (this is
what I understood) then caching the output using cfsavecontent is not an
appropriate solution.
If, however, it is the output of the include that needs to be cached
then using cfsavecontent to save the output is obviously the way to go.
Under any circumstances it makes no sense to read the file in using
cffile only to have to write it out again when you want to include it!
The most suitable approach is just to cfinclude the file as needed.
Regards,
André

Actually you can only evaluate expressions, not whole chunks of cfscript

What's wrong with cfincluding them? Also BTW instead of using cffile why
not
simply use cfsavecontent and cfinclude?
Perhaps you might consider cfincluding the CF templates and caching the
result for a given period of time?

RE: Consuming CFMX Web Services in ASP.NET
This is a known issue and has I believe been acknowleged by various parties. It is the result of a limitation of the underlying Axis engine that CFMX uses. I believe there were plans for Axis in the future (possibly the version that is used in the next point release of MX - I haven't tried yet) to mitigate problems concerning result set incompatibilities between .NET and CFMX. Since, the issue could be construed as lying with Axis it is somewhat out of Macromedia's hands.

RE: Prevent Refresh
To avoid the refresh problem the best way to handle idempotent actions i.e form submissions is to perform a redirection after the relevant action has occurred. Note: This requires a client-side redirect which cflocation will do for you. So the page flow becomes this: 1) Form 2) Action Page - Database insert/update etc. 3) Redirect 4) End Page/Confirmation/Form again... If a refresh is done once on step 4, the Action page will not be run again.

Unfortunately its not quite as simple as being able to see each others session or application variables in the same way. Request variables can be seen as you would expect.

RE: Can someone help me understand how to import com.allaire.cfx
You need to make sure com.allaire.cfx is on your classpath by setting a
system variable.
Alternatively you can compile with the -c switch specifiying where the
library is e.g.
Javac -c c:/cfusionmx/lib/ SimpleMessage.java
Etc.

Subject: Can someone help me understand how to import com.allaire.cfx
Hi all,
Im trying to write a small java app with the view to pulling them in
with CF
for some
tasks suited to the job.
This app has been copied straight from Java for CF Developers,
//SimpleMessage.java
import com.allaire.cfx.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
public class SimpleMessage implements CustomTag{
Date now=new Date();
DateFormat
f=DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL,Local.US);
public void processRequest(Request request, Response response)
throws Exception
{
f.format(now);
String name=request.getAttribute(NAME);
response.write(Hello, +name+! Today is +f);
}
}
this file sits in c:/cfusionmx/wwwroot/web-inf/public/
obviously I want to implement this as a custom tag so Im trying to
import
the Allaire interfaces - com.allaire.cfx,
this sits at c:\cfusionmx\lib\cfx.jar
The problem is I can't,
the classpath is set in administrator as c:\cfusionmx\lib\cfx.jar,
I tried putting the jar file in the same directory as my java file,
I also tried javac -classpath %classpath%;c:cfusionmx\lib\cfx.jar
c:\cfusionmx\wwwroot\web-inf\public\SimpleMessage.java,
anyway this command gave this error,

The compiler just doesnt know where the jar file is,
I don't understand either how com.allaire is being called in the package
reference either,
I dont know where com.allaire is coming from, I know about designing
packages, and if i'm right packages are directories,
well cfx.jar is sitting in cfusionmx/lib/ not com/allaire/
overall error, I do understand the falling errors are caused due the tag
having not been inplemented, well some!

RE: Removing bad emails from newsletter db
Blood, It's fairly straight forward to code yourself. You can access the undeliverables folder using CFDIRECTORY and then parse the messages for the e-mail address that bounced and use that to update the database. If on MX I suggest using server.coldfusion.rootDir etc. to locate the undeliverable folder etc. On CF5 and Windows you can use CFREGISTRY etc. Note: the .cfmail file formats are different from CF5 to CFMX. Also, if you want to re-spool messages in CFMX you need to rename the file and restart the CF's mail spool service...which is technically possible to do programmatically using yet more undocumented functions. André -Original Message- From: Blood Python [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 May 2003 16:40 To: CF-Talk Subject: Removing bad emails from newsletter db One of my client's has about 103k people in his mailing list. He's running his website since 99 and many of these e-mails are bad ones. He wants me to remove the bad e-mails from this list. I used to do that using a software called worldcast, from fairlogic (www.fairlogic.com). It uses DNS to validate e-mails, pretending to send an e-mail and stopping just after he got the 250 code (user exists) or 550 (unknow). Unfortunatly, many networks are not allowing DNS sends, because of spam, so it its not a good solution anymore. I will need to build a tool that interprets the returned e-mails from an actual send (those Undeliverable e-mails) and delete the user based on this e-mail's content. Do you guys knows any software or code that do such thing? Doesn't need to be in cf... I will need to code it myself if i don't find something like that to use, because client needs it very bad (he needs to reduce bandwidth costs). Thank you for your repplies in advance.

RE: is an object with a lot of methods a memory buster?
Dave, Another possibility: Perhaps all of the instances of the persisted CFC merely carry a name/pointer pair which points to a singe stale copy of the method and hence Sean's statement still holds partially true regarding not taking up a great deal of space. However, I'm merely making a similar conjecture. André -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 May 2003 17:25 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: is an object with a lot of methods a memory buster? However, I believe that when you create a CFC instance, you get (effectively) a Java Map (actually an implementation of a Map) that has entries for each method. Each entry is merely a 'pointer' to the representation of the method. I'm guessing that based on the fact that you can access methods of a CFC instance as variables: fn.cfc: cfcomponent cffunction name=foo /cffunction /cfcomponent tfn.cfm: cfscript x = createObject(component,fn); y = x[foo]; y = x.foo; /cfscript So, in each CFC instance you create, you will get entries in the Map for every method (or, at least, every public method) but those entries won't take up a great deal of space (since they are just name, pointer pairs). Good answer; that's just what I wanted to hear. Thanks very much! While that may be what you wanted to hear, I have my doubts about it. When you create an instance from a CFC and put it in a persistent scope, then change one of the methods within the CFC code, the instance doesn't use the new code, but rather the original code that was there when it was instantiated. This leads me to believe that it carries its own copy of the method code with it.

MySQL has an AUTO_INCREMENT column type (well it used to).

RE: site wide error handling
A few additions: You don't really need the conditional logic around the cferror tag. It might be wise to also include a request error handler e.g. cferror type=request... Although you are restricted to the number of variables you can use in this template (and you can't log/mail etc.) it provides a fallback in case there happens to be an error in your exception handler defined by cferror type=exception... And thus you avoid being hosed. If you want to replace try/catch for queries then the most appropriate exception type to specify is database e.g. cferror type=exception exception=database Naturally, the most logical place to put these tags is in Application.cfm though, as with cfapplication etc., you are not restricted to doing so i.e. you can override the exception handler on any given page as necessary or appropriate. You also need to be aware that if an error or exception occurs before you have called cferror e.g. somewhere high up in Application.cfm then your error handlers won't run. This contribution is purely for my own benefit as I wanted something to type. André -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 March 2003 18:05 To: CF-Talk Subject: site wide error handling Instead of using the try/catch blocks around each query, use a site-wide error catcher that you set up in the Application.cfm file: cfif (#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# NEQ /includes/errorhandler.cfm) cferror template=/includes/errorhandler.cfm type=exception exception=ANY /cfif The key is to use the type of exception and exception=any (I think this came in to either v4.51 or v5). So if an error is caught, the users is tossed to the errorhandler.cfm page, where you display a Sorry, error occured or whatever message and you set the following params: cfparam name=error.template default=unknown cfparam name=error.querystring default=unknown cfparam name=error.remoteaddress default=unknown cfparam name=error.HTTPreferer default/index.cfm cfparam name=error.diagnostics default=unknown You can use the error structure (error.[whatever]) to then send mail to an admin and/or dump into a database (I do both). Just make sure to CFPARAM everything that will be called, or you will get an error in the error-handler page and you'll be hosed. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Is it possible to achieve workflow in Coldfusion ???
Ian, Perhaps I can clarify/expand on what Adam suggested: 1) You do not stop the data entering the database when a story is submitted. Instead, it is inserted as normal but you also set another column probably in the same table, perhaps named status with a value of P for pending when you perform the insert e.g. insert into stories (story_id, foo, bar, status) values (666,'Foo','Bar','P') 2) Only display stories on the website if the status column is not P, perhaps only if the status column is A for approved e.g. select foo, bar from stories where status = 'A' 3) When the approver approves a story to be published, the appropriate row in the database gets updated and the status column is changed appropriately. e.g. update stories set status = 'A' where story_id = 666 You could extend this model quite simply to allow for multi-level approvals and multiple types of status.

RE: Is it possible to achieve workflow in Coldfusion ???
Ian, I see no flaws the logic you outlined; seems perfectly acceptable to me. As for adding more features and or more advanced settings, that is entirely dependent on whether they are justified, required or are likely to be required - something which only you are in a position to judge at present. If what you outlined is all that you need then I see no reason to expand. It is conceivable, as in other workflow systems, that you may in the future need more than one level of approval i.e. the article/story may go through a whole chain of people before it is finally ready to be published e.g. author - editor - creative/formatting - publisher etc. however, I don't know if that is appropriate for your circumstances but it might be worth bearing in mind. Hope you are successful in your endeavors.

(Is this process correct ?) The approver clicks on the link in the e-mail and they are taken to the 'Pending Jobs' Screen. The approver opens the relevant pending job. At the bottom of this page there are two buttons 'Approve' and 'Decline' If the aprrover clicks approve the 'status' field changes to 'approve' However if the approver clicks decline then the 'status' field stays the same and an e-mail is sent back to the content owner informing them that the content has been declined.

You'll have to locate this patch yourself because I'm supposed to be working right now! (also, not sure if its included in the updaters) Thanks, André -Original Message- From: Rich Wild [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 February 2003 13:27 To: CF-Talk Subject: dsn on cfmx - can't create I've checked the archive on this + the forums + the technotes, but haven't been able to resolve it. We cannot add a DSN to a SQL Server 2000 database through CFMX. we have 2 cfmx machines and 3 sql server machines. 2 of these machines are sql server 2000, and 1 is SQL 7. Each cfmx machine is win2000 with sp3 installed (mdac 2.7 etc). each install of cfmx is patched to updater 2. We can't add a DSN either via the type 4 drivers (SQL server) or via an ODBC socket to a DSN setup successfully to connect to the a database on a sql2000 machine. We *can* add type 4 and type 3 DSNs that connect to any SQL server 7 machine. Oddly, we also have some CF5 machines that can connect to the sql 2000 databases using exactly the same details that were used for the cfmx machines' DSNs. All machines have the same firewall configuration. We also tried adding the ODBC Server service in CFMX to a new security account in win2000, but this hasn't worked either. We've now run out of options. Can anyone help?

RE: Converting a recordset to XML
Brook, If you're going via CF, you could try using WDDX as long as wherever you are sending it to can understand it. You'd this via the cfwddx tags passing in a CF variable e.g. a recordset. If converting a recordset into XML the quickest and EASIEST way is your MAIN criteria then this is probably the way to go. If WDDX isn't what you want then there are a bunch of options, including using a Servlet filters to transform the WDDX XML into another XML format if need be but that requires some knowledge of XSLT etc. You could also just loop through the recordset and manually create the XML document in CF but this probably isn't recommended if the number of rows is large. Naturally, you could also do this inside of a stored procedure.

RE: Correct Syntax for this piece of SQL ??
Just a stab in the dark:
Is orgname always uppercase in your DB? If so, that might explain why
searching by orgname always works but searching by the others doesn't.
You might have to do this:
...AND UPPER(funding) LIKE UPPER('%#Form.funding#%')
or EVEN (the same):
...AND UPPER(funding) LIKE '%#UCase(Form.funding)#%'
etc.

RE: Set HTTP Headers
Jeff, It may well be that PlumTree is manipulating the headers before calling third party pages but that doesn't necessarily mean it is doing it via CF code. You can do v.limited header manipulation using CFHTTP...well, you can set the user-agent header, and you can set some cookies but other than that I'm not aware of another way using purely CF. It is not that difficult to write a CFX or JSP Custom Tag...or indeed access java.net.URL class to open a connection to port 80 or whatever and then manually/programmatically create an HTTP request (including the desired headers) to another resource...well, its not that difficult if you know some Java, but may be you don't! As other people have suggested, a quick and dirty way of testing is to use Telnet and manually create the requests- headers included. How much work do you want to do? André -Original Message- From: Jeff Chastain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 February 2003 17:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Set HTTP Headers Okay, let me clear this up then, because setting http header variables can be done. I have an instance of a PlumTree portal sitting on a set of production servers. I am trying to put together another application that PlumTree can be nice and talk to. Now, PlumTree passes information from the portal itself to third party applications via the http header. So somehow the PlumTree portal is manipulating the http header before it calls my function. The http header when I receive it (i.e. I can dump the header variables and see the values) includes things like ... CSP-CAN-SET = 'Gadget,User' CSP-GATEWAY-TYPE = 'PlumTree' CSP-PROTOCOL-VERSION = '1.1' My function can then, through the use of getHttpRequestData, see/read/use these header values. I am attempting to test my function on a development box - separate from the PlumTree system - and was trying to figure out how to set these variables before calling my function - i.e. make it look like PlumTree is doing the calling. Hopefully this is more clear.

I am just trying to figure out how to pass in some test data. You need a custom browser for that. Telnet is a nice one ;-) The reason for this is quite simple actually. Suppose that just any website could tell any browser from now on you will send this header, with 'this' being a unique identification. Sounds like something the EFF and the /. crowd would go rather nuts about, wouldn't they?

RE: changing mx serial number from developer to professional
Craig, Not sure if the license file is in the same location/format on nix versions of CF but on Win versions the license file is located here: installation_root\lib\license.properties e.g. C:\CFusionMX\lib\license.properties You might like to try doing a find for this file when you SSH providing you have permissions for the relevant directory etc. André -Original Message- From: Craig Zingerline [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 February 2003 19:00 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: changing mx serial number from developer to professional Matt, thanks for the reply. The problem is that my box is at a co-location provider so I don't have direct access to the box other than through SSH. Any ideas? Thanks!

Not sure how you are connected to the server, but are you able to open a browser on it? If so, you should be able to get into the cfadmin from there without worrying about the IP restrictions. Matt -Original Message- From: Craig Zingerline [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 1:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: changing mx serial number from developer to professional Hello, I have a dedicated Linux box and I installed Coldfusion MX a month ago on it and was using as the 1 IP development version. Since then I bought MX Professional and I want to update my serial number so I have unlimited users. However, I cannot log into the administrator because my IP is not the IP that is allowed by ColdFusion on my server. Someone else must have been on the site when the 30 day trial timed out, and their IP is locked in. I've tried shutting down and restarting ColdFusion to no avail. Does anyone know how to change the serial number through SSH, or without having to be in the CF administrator?? Help would be greatly appreciated!
