arguments.exception.type values
Is there anywhere I can get a list of all the possible values for arguments.exception.type that is passed to onError? We want to handle some specific occurrences of errors in different ways, so I'd like to see what the options are.

error emails firing for no reason
I have a page that is acting extremely strange. It's a simple form processing page that runs validation against some of the passed form fields. If it fails any of the checks, it displays a basic error message and asks the user to go back to the form to fix the changes (this was not my work, it's legacy code). In order to do the checks, obviously the form fields have to exist. When I run the page and it finds a validation issue, the warning messages are put into an array as the checks are done, and if that array is found to have anything in it, the contents of the array are displayed. If nothing is found, the database is updated. This processes completely normally, nothing out of the ordinary. But for some weird reason, when the warning messages are displayed, the error emails that my onError function in Application.cfc creates are also triggering, claiming the form field being checked in the very first validation check cannot be found. To make matters weirder, the HTML page that the onError code creates (in addition to the email that is sent) is NOT displayed. I have debugging turned on, and it shows all the form fields passed to the page. Sure enough the field the error email claims is not there, is in fact there. I have tried wrapping the block the error email references in a CFTRY/CFCATCH to try and muzzle it. The email still is being sent. So I am really lost as to what is triggering these emails. I have Ray Camden's code regarding the CFABORT/CFLOCATION issues with onError already in. Any ideas at all? thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267325 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Update: error emails firing for no reason (I still need help)
Update: I have the cause for why this is happening. The reason is that the form processing page is calling itself mere seconds after it is first called. The second time around, the form field do not exist, and that's the reason for the error. The problem is, there is nothing in the code that would cause that. And it's all happening in the background. The logs show that my computer's IP address makes a POST to the form submission page, as it should when I submit the form. But anywhere from 1-3 seconds later, a GET request is sent from the same IP address for the form submission page, and the listed referring page is the forms processing page. Here's the log entries. Can anyone help me as to why this might be happening? On the form processing page there are no CFLOCATION, CFHTTP, Javascript calls, anything that would cause a page to make an HTTP request for itself. (Sidebar: I have had this happen to me before on a personal site of mine. I never understood what was happening until now. That code was written back in CF5, so whatever is happening is something longstanding). 172.16.27.0 - - [23/Jan/2007:15:12:48 -0500] POST /Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC HTTP/1.1 200 40472 http://wdchqdcold04.dev.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=editresource_id=47; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 172.16.27.0 - - [23/Jan/2007:15:12:49 -0500] GET /Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC HTTP/1.1 200 34400 http://wdchqdcold04.dev.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 - 172.16.27.0 - - [23/Jan/2007:15:13:13 -0500] POST /Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC HTTP/1.1 200 40472 http://wdchqdcold04.dev.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=editresource_id=47; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 172.16.27.0 - - [23/Jan/2007:15:13:14 -0500] GET /Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC HTTP/1.1 200 34400 http://wdchqdcold04.dev.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/admin/index.cfm?action=saveCFID=2061637CFTOKEN=4bc5e5d-1002f118-a0ea-49e8-8c36-e3ff42f85e05jsessionid=d6302ff0144c6545b1d3submit=searchtext=searchtitle=order_by=resource_create_dtorder=ASC; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 -Original Message- From: Barthle, Robert (Contractor) Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 11:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: error emails firing for no reason I have a page that is acting extremely strange.

nested Application.cfc question
I am having a problem with nesting Application CFCs. I have an Application.cfc in the root directory with a call to onRequestStart, and in there I have a variety of variables set in the request scope. I have another Application.cfc in a sub directory that I built primarily to handle user authentication (the only files needing to be protected reside there, so I was going to set the authentication checks in that Application.cfc so it's only referenced when needed). I set it up so that this second Application.cfc extends the root Application.cfc by using the dot-notation mapping to the root Application - like extends=SharedSites.Site1.Application. In this file's onRequestStart function, I try and access the request scope variables set in the parent Application.cfc. I am getting errors saying these variables have not been set. This is a legacy application that I am converting over to Application.cfc, so I cannot unscope those variables, I have to use them in the request scope.

matching phrases with verity simple search

Using CFSERACH with type=simple (and case-insensitive), we find the following: - searching for the phrase, american painting, returns all records with either american or painting - searching for american AND painting returns only records with both - searching for american painting (with quotes) returns no rows According to the documentation, the first case should have returned only rows with the phrase american painting in it. I have confirmed that there are 4 records in the collection that have that phrase, so it should be returning something. == In doing other tests since I first sent this message, I have determined that wrapping a search term in quotes will only return records that match the phrase if it whole words. In the example above, american painting returned nothing, but american paintings (note the plural) returned the 4 records that had the exact term american paintings in it. So why would it not return the same for american painting, which to me it should have.

Clustering SQL Server
Need some pointers on something. I have just been tasked to lead a project that will involve moving our single SQL Server 2000 database into a cluster. I'll state up front I have no experience in a clustered environment, so a lot of these questions are definitely newbie. My understanding is that this cluster will be what they are calling active/active, which I understood to mean that both servers will be running and taking connections at the same time. I do not know if the balancing could and will send people from one database to the other during the course of a session, and I am assuming the data will be constantly synced between the two servers. What I need to know is this: When CF applications go from using a single database server to a clustered database server, are there any issues with how the applications interact? For example, some of our apps use client variables that are stored on the database, is there any issues with this? Also, is there any coding practices we need to implement that we do not currently? The practices we do perform include things like using CFTRANSACTION around multiple queries to keep it to one connection, using CFQUERYPARAM for data validation, and using stored procedures for some advanced queries. Basically I'm looking for some tips on clustering in general, and also what landmines I might could expect to hit, and how to avoid them. thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:236732 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: site mapping tool recommendations
Does anyone have some ideas? Perhaps I can rephrase the needs. We want something that can accurately find all kinds of orphans (images and files) as well as different entry points into a site (if possible). Some are linear sites, some are fusebox. All are CF. 99% of the projects we work on are legacy projects done by another company who literally did not understand the importance of documentation of any kind, and we've gotten bitten a few times by orphans causing problems in the applications. Because of the nature of our project timelines, some of these applications have not been touched yet by us, so we're flying blind with them. We're going through the code by hand, but that is really tedious and any tool we can find to make our lives easier, the better it is for us. thanks -r ___ Rob Barthle Sr. Web Developer (Dept. of Ed Contractor) Nortel Government Solutions, Inc. 202-245-6484 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Barthle, Robert (Contractor) Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: site mapping tool recommendations I have been tasked to look at some site mapping tools.

As long as the system DSN connects successfully to the database, this will work. thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 -Original Message- From: Brian Yager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Upgraded to MX7, SQL Server datasources no longer work I've got both Named Pipes and TCP/IP enabled.

Although, it's not free to use, it does incorporate a lot of other useful tools. HTML validator, auto submission etc. Everything mentioned in this thread is also techniques that I use to make the site more relevant depending on which engine your targeting. I wouldn't concentrate too much on the smaller ones, only go for the Google and Yahoo to start out. The rest should follow suit if you get good rankings in these two. The other thing I've noticed in the past is the length of the domain renewal has a direct effect if you purchase the domain for say ten years instead of renewing it every year, it will make a difference by about 4 or 5 places in the listings (that might have changed though, but it did make a difference in my experience). Also if you have multiple relevant sub-sites of your own that point back to the main governing site, it will build link weight and more relevancy. Placed inside the content of one of the subsites you could add keywords/phrases that are linked to other pages in the main site describing more information about a subject while packing in that keyword a few times. The other thing is to make the title of the page have the keyword and name of the file contain the keyword. Relevant content is the key, not flashy intros and sites packed with images. But you need to also account for how new the subsites are and how long they have been around which goes back to what Josh had mentioned earlier. Seniority does take priority in my experience, but if you rank the site well, it will still take less time to get on the first page. You might also want to make the additional sub-sites hosted in separate parts of the country, or hosted with two different providers, this way you'll have two different site from two sides of the country talking about the same relevant site and linked together by matching keywords and headers. Basically, create an infrastructure that makes the main site the governing body or authority on the subject your promoting, while still applying all the other SEO rules you've read about in the rest of this thread. There is no need to fool the search engines if you building a huge infrastructure of sites, but it can cost a lot more $$ and take longer to build. So I guess it would really depend on your products or services and how much your ROI is compared to the time and desire to rank higher.

RE: Upgraded to MX7, SQL Server datasources no longer work
While I do not disagree with that statement, again I fail to see where using ODBC on a personal laptop is going to cause such terrible problems. Server load? Nope. Problems handling the SQL? Not unless you're a terrible SQL coder (I have seem some issues when people used non-standard syntax, but they didn't know what they were doing really when they wrote it). So again, if all else is failing, where's the problem in this? I don't see it, other than a bunch of nice-to-have's that really mean squat if JDBC can't connect. thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 -Original Message- From: Robert Everland III [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 9:20 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Upgraded to MX7, SQL Server datasources no longer work The enviroment on the laptop should be exactly what the server enviroment is.

RE: Developing for 800 x 600 on monitor at higher resolution
Not approved = no dice. IS people are a paranoid lot, if there ever was, especially in the Fed. CYA is a way of life, and the first time one of these unapproved third party apps fails, they're in hot water. For good or bad, Microsoft is a trusted name and that carries a lot of weight. It will take a long time for Firefox to be accepted fully. Too many unknowns. Like Dave, I'm not saying Firefox is not better, but it is a riskier proposition at this point.

In the sector I work in, that's the real-world question. When you start to get into the scale of things, the answers change greatly. And remember, in most cases these are networks made up of mostly non-technical people. To many, a web browser is a web browser is a web browser. They don't care about anything other than will it get me to the site I want?, so the cool factor of Firefox is negligible. It has to work, and be easy to maintain. Should Firefox become easy to manage over a network in large scale, then it will become a much more major player in the intranet arena.
