Web Services position
Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, but this is my first time posting to cf-talk. I am sure it won't be the last. I thought I would post this to cf-talk before cf-jobs, since this listserv gets more traffic than cf-jobs does. We have a contract position that's slated to go 12-18 months that's available in Nitro, WV for a Web Services project. We'd like someone who has Java and XML experience, as well as CF (of course). The project will also connect to an Oracle 8i database and will use CFMX for J2EE, running on top of JRun, running on a Windows 2000 server. PAY RATE: Don't ask me what the rate is - I have no idea!!! But I can put you in contact with someone who will know... It should be competitive. If interested, send me an e-mail off the listserv to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Brian Meloche, User Group Manager, West Virginia Macromedia Users Group http://www.wvmug.org Macromedia Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5.0 Developer 130 pounds lost and counting! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
100% CPU on CF5 - but patch has already applied!
Hello all... I thought I would post this to the list, since my attempts to solve the problem have failed. I have run into an old problem. Well, sort of. I have the developer version of CF5 installed on my desktop at work, which is running XP Pro on a 2.8 GHz P4... and I am running into the 100% CPU usage caused by NTconsoleJava.exe - the ColdFusion Management Repository Server. But... here's the problem: I have applied the patches from Macromedia and deleted the logs, as according to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18000.htm BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM!!! It's still doing it! Other than disabling the service, is there anything I can do to fix the problem? Has anyone run into this problem AFTER applying the patch? Is there another patch that I can't find?

SQL Syntax Errors with CF and Oracle
How I would deal with it would be to pass this to a variable first, and manipulate as needed.

CFC not a recognized text document in Homesite+
Has anyone seen where Homesite+ 5.2 doesn't recognize a CFC as a text document? I guess it might be because settings were migrated from CF Studio 5. Does anyone know how to fix this? It says it's recognized in the Extension Manager, but... obviously... it's not.

Content Management Systems - a short list...
I would be interested in hearing opinions on some good CF-based CMSs. I need to develop a short list so that I can evaluate a few systems. If you could pick one... which one? And why? Any experience with one system or another? We have a CMS here, which is the biggest piece of... well, let's just say that I may finally win the battle that this system needs a replacement. I would upgrade the existing system, but I think that will take too many man hours to fix the flaws in the system and... right now, I am a one-man development team. Here are my requirements: Permissions Workflow Images and documents stored in Database, but are published to website. Static pages that can be stored in Database - allow versioning. DB should act as a STORAGE mechanism and NOT DYNAMIC, in most cases (This is not how the existing system works). Oracle 8i/9i - DB maintenance available OUTSIDE of system (Isn't this an issue with NQCONTENT?) CF5 preferred; CFMX Enterprise possible (we'd have to upgrade; there may be COM object issues if we do) EASY TO USE for the USERS!!! (CMS users have to be able to use the admin, not fight with it every time they want to do something.) Uses stylesheets I should be able to make CMS and site interface changes, if needed. Simple URLs! - e.g. http://www.easynavigate.com/section/page.cfm (our current CMS does not do this and that is the single biggest complaint from the executives) RELATIVELY EASY TO GET UP AND RUNNING Relatively easy to customize, if necessary I can elaborate more if needed. Here are a list of CF-based systems that I know of... Ektron - CMS 100/200/300 & eMPower (I am not sure what the differences are between CMS 300 and eMPower - I didn't find that very clear from their website) PaperThin - Common Spot Server NetQuest - NQContent Systems Alliance - Site Executive FarCry - Open Source - inspired by Spectra (CFMX based - more of a framework than a finished system?) Spectra - Allaire/Macromedia, now Open Source (framework) Oasis - RemoteSite Technologies (I couldn't get to their site) SparkPlug - 13amp.com There may be others I don't know of... Are there any open source CMSs that are CF-based that are ready to go, out of the box? For something like FarCry, how quickly can it be configured so that an existing CMS can be converted, users, permissions, workflow and content? I am not really interested right now in hearing from sales people... I want to hear from developers that have tried out systems and have an opinion. Looking forward to the responses!

Content Management Systems - a short list...
Thanks, Matt. I will take a look at your website. It sounds like your solution would require an upgrade to CFMX, which I am not opposed to, but it would have to be coordinated with another department, as some of their apps may break. Still, it is something that I want to happen sooner or later. We do have one CFMX for J2EE license, so it's possible we could test your system out. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Content Management Systems - a short list...
Dave, thanks for the reply. CommonSpot and Site Executive seem to be pretty common recommendations. I know both were covered in recent CFDJ articles, as well as a few other systems (NQContent and Ektron). Time to dig out my old issues! :-) >Most CMSs don't actually store the images themselves in the database, but >rather just where the images are stored on the filesystem. True. Ours stores images on the file system, but documents are stored in the database. Both have led to many problems. See below. >> DB should act as a STORAGE mechanism and NOT DYNAMIC, in most >> cases (This is not how the existing system works). > >I'm not sure what you mean by this. I would like the actual content to be static on the web server. It would be managed from the system. Versions would be stored in the database and published to the server via FTP or CFFILE, so that the content would exist statically. Right now, almost all of the content on the website is served up dynamically from the database. This leads to a complete collapse of the website when the database goes down. This seems pointless, since most of the content doesn't change much. If the content was published statically, but stored in the database for management purposes, that would eliminate this problem. Only dynamic pages would be affected by the database going down. >> Oracle 8i/9i - DB maintenance available OUTSIDE of system >> (Isn't this an issue with NQCONTENT?) > >I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, either. I took a look at NQCONTENT while at Devcon, and read its review in CFDJ. The problem with it, if I remember correctly, is you have to surrender database maintenance to the CMS. In other words, the DBAs and I couldn't use Oracle software, SQLPlus, TOAD or SQL Navigator to maintain the database. It's set up almost like you would use PHPMyAdmin to manage a MySQL database online (just an example - I know there are MySQL clients - I like MySQLCC, and have had good experiences with it so far). If anyone's used NQCONTENT out there, and can prove/disprove this, I would love to hear from you in this thread! >CommonSpot meets all these requirements, and I think Site Executive does >too.

I would like something that would allow both, if possible. Of course, I am a customization wizard :-), so I am not too worried about that.

I had a chance to look at AssetNow. It looks very interesting... the concerns I have are no Oracle... and I am not too keen on the splash screen that comes up after you log in. A lot of the users of this system are not computer savvy, so it shouldn't overwhelm them. Otherwise, I like the price a lot and the features look great, too.

I agree with Jochem's original statement that he wouldn't want to deal with an ISP
that has those kinds of restrictions. I know: I have one right now, and am about to
switch to one that doesn't have these restrictions.
I like the threaded model of lessening restrictions based on the sophistication of the
coders. The best idea would be to use a CMS that could do simple queries and not
require any coding knowledge. You could have a tiered development system that would
allow different complexities according to skill, but this might be just as difficult
to manage.
That said, I strongly believe in "learning by doing". You don't learn until you do
it. If you don't give them a chance to do it, they will never learn.
If students don't know SQL, then they probably shouldn't be coding. That's taught
right away in the Fast Track course, and in practically any CF book you could find.
Knowing SQL is the most basic building block of any web development, regardless of
language, and if you can't do basic SQL, you're going to have a hard time developing
any web applications.
I agree that these college websites would all have different needs, and it's going to
be difficult restricting them with custom tags. It seems to me that you would have
more trouble with support dealing with the use of those custom tags than having them
doing it in a more unrestricted fashion.
Besides, if they don't use the proper CFQUERY statements, how the heck are they ever
going to learn even BASIC best practices?

Slightly OT: Experiences with Contribute?
This is along the same lines as my Content Management Systems thread... Have any of you out there had a chance to use Contribute in a real world situation? I am curious to get some feedback on Contribute, and how it compares to a CMS in terms of administration requirements and problems users have using Contribute versus a CMS. I don't need details on how Contribute works versus a CMS. I am looking for some feedback on maintenance and tech support of Contribute users and setup versus what we see now using our CMS, which is a bad system, and in need of an upgrade/replacement. Has anyone scrapped a CMS for Contribute? How did it go? Any Contribute horror stories? We are considering using Contribute instead of upgrading the CMS or replacing it with a new one. We think that users might find it easier to update content using Contribute versus doing it in an upgraded/better CMS. Thanks in advance.

Content Management Systems - a short list...
Geoff: I am very happy you replied!!! I have been very interested in FarCry, and have checked out the website several times, and even played around in the demo. I joined the FarCry-dev list as well, and saw your e-mail last night about this post. I wasn't sure if FarCry's open source version came fully featured, even with the demo. It seems that it is. Other than the support, can you point out what the differences are between the purchased version and the open source version? I have been a little unclear about what you don't get in the open source version. In our piece of sh... CMS, because of security concerns, the CMS exists on a different server than the public website. On the caching issue, what happens in the event of a CMS change? How do you trigger that a new version of a page has been published? How would/do you do it if the website exists on a different server than the CMS? CFMX shouldn't be a problem. We just got a new development server TODAY for a new project, and we have a new license of CFMX for J2EE and JRun (which I will upgrade to MX Enterprise 6.1 as soon as it's installed). We will have a chance to get the server up and running and the content in place in time for January, when we might be ready to upgrade the production servers to MX. As soon as the server's up, FarCry's going on it.

Server Testing Software...
Anyone know of/recommend a good server testing software? Specifically, we need it for the following: We have an impending domain change coming, and we would like to run software/application that could spider the site and find areas where the website is/will be broken when the old domain gets turned off, and we need to know if everything's working with the new domain. I would also like to have software that might be able to identify problem areas of the site, errors, and other performance issues.

ColdFusion/w Fusebox position available in Charleston, West Virginia
All: CDI, my employer in WV, passed this position onto me today. NOTE (VERY IMPORTANT): If anyone from this list applies to this position, make sure they mention that they heard about it from the West Virginia Macromedia Users Group posting on this list. The position is a contract position at a different state agency as my own, and is based in the Charleston area. I believe the position is long term, but I have requested some clarification on that.

Re: Code mapping software?
Mike, I actually wrote something like that about a year or so ago,
when I had to produce documentation for a content management system
that I inherited that had no documentation. It didn't handle CFCs (a
CF 5 environment), but it could with minor adjustments. It did a lot
of it automatically. I can see if I can find the code. It ran with
an Access DB (was just running on my local machine).

Alternative to cgi.http_referer - single signon
At the office, we've run into a bit of a snag with a script that a consultant did for us that authenticates from the URL of a referring page hosted on a third party site to auto-generate single signon authentication, so that an account from their site is automatically generates an account on our system and doesn't require the user to sign into our system. This feature is a requirement to our application by the third party (our client). In this case, the consultant's code tries to authenticate from cgi.http_referer. The problem we're getting is that we're not getting back a value. I have looked around the web, on this list and elsewhere, and know that this is a potential problem both with firewalls and certain browsers, but I haven't been able to find an alternative. We NEED an alternative, and we need it ASAP.

Re: ATTN Duke / Durham area CFers
Rick, I can't say for sure, but I think TAMMUG may have been one of the MMUGs that were affected by the web hosting outage at ClickDoug. The Cleveland MMUG (which I manage) is one of about two dozen MMUG and CFUGs affected. TAMMUG is still listed on macromedia.com as official. That said, new groups are always welcome. Cleveland State University's MMUG was started this month, and their meetings are about a five minute walk from ours. The larger the community, the better.

Re: Feedback on this approach to "many sites, one codebase" (MSOC)
I'm late to the thread, but like Eric and Sean have indicated, having all domains under the same application name is the way to go. We've got a big multi-tenant application here (several hundred thousand lines of code) designed that way and it works great. Reinitializing an application is quick and easy (taking servers out of the farm before doing it, of course) - seconds, not minutes, and that is for all domains at a time, not for each one at a time. That's all because of how it's designed. I was hoping to speak on the same subject at CFObjective, but Sean got picked to speak over me. :-( On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Matt Robertson wrote: > > Even though my own CMS can handle multiple sites running off of a > single installation, I don't run it that way.

Re: Feedback on this approach to "many sites, one codebase" (MSOC)
In the application scope... but you have a structure, such as: application.settings.sites["CHR"]["config"]["adminEmail"] As I said, it works great for us. We don't have a "tear off" site structure, and a client can't ask for the code, since it would be impossible to replicate due to the business we provide, so I imagine we'd have to tweak things if that were a requirement.

An extremely disturbing CF bug
I have just run across a very strange bug, one that I have never seen before. http://www.clevelandmmug.org/index.cfm?dsp=Meetings Do a View Source... How is it possible that I can see my CF code in the View Source? I thought that was impossible. This server is running CFMX 6.1 on a Linux environment.

Re: Anyone ever heard of not allowing FTP?
I have run into FTP being blocked this several times, including where I am working now. One unscrupulous developer (someone I used to see post on CF-Community a lot, although I haven't seen him on there in some time) actually created a honey pot on a public server where I was contracted BEFORE I was there, so I can certainly see the I only see the need for blocking FTP. Many use network drives to push code, but don't even allow VPN, so you have to push code on site. I usually only see FTP allowed for shared hosting, and certainly no PDS turned on anywhere I have worked except for some development environments.

OT: User Group Managers' Portal - Speakers Bureau
All: Some of you may know involved in the user group community may know that I am one of the people working on the user group managers' portal. I am collecting names for the speakers' bureau - which will be used to find speakers for user group meetings (both live and using Breeze), conferences, and the ability to find and borrow presentations from speakers that a local person can present. Many of you that have spoken at conferences before and Team Macromedia members have been identified, but I would like to get AUTHORIZATION that we can add your name to our list... and for those of you that would be willing to speak/present but may not be Team Macromedia and have not spoken at conferences, I would like to add you as well. Note: Macromedia people can shoot me an email if you are interested, but all MM speakers will be contacted through Ed Sullivan, as is the standard policy, and will not appear on the portal. We're shooting for a portal launch date in time for MAX 2005 (October 16th). If you are interested in being added to the user group speakers' bureau, please contact me OFF LIST. Please give me as much information as possible, including topics you are willing to present and languages you are willing to present in (e.g. English, German, Dutch, etc.). -- Sincerely, Brian Meloche http://www.brianmeloche.com User Group Manager, Cleveland Macromedia Users Group, http://www.clevelandmmug.org Co-Manager, Cleveland ColdFusion Users Group, http://www.clevelandcfug.org ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Anything wrong with these JVM settings? Jrun updater? CF 6.1 J2EE
We upgraded to JVM 1.4.2_13 over the weekend. Yesterday, we were getting
server timeouts. We're running MX6.1 J2EE install.
First thing... since there's a similar message thread on JVM settings, I
thought I'd start with that.
JDK path (JAVA_HOME): C:/j2sdk1.4.2_13
Max Heap Size: 1GB
VM Arguments: -server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -Xbootclasspath/a:"{
application.home}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/webchartsJava2D.jar"
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=28999,suspend=n
We're running MX 6.1 on Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers - Dual Xeon 3.06 GHz
processors - 4GB RAM. W2000 Advanced SP4. Page file is 8GB. Hard Drives
are 30GB SCSI.
We're running SQL Server 2000 SP4 as our DB... on another server, of course.
There are 9 clustered CF servers in a Cisco array. Each running only one CF
instance and one IIS website. We do operate multiple sites off a single
code base. Those web domains are controlled at the array... but they all
hit the same code. They just behave differently depending on which domain
and what site they belong to. All 9 servers, with the exception of one
server that had been restarted the previous day, experienced issues.
One final point which may be relevant... I thought we were running JRun 4
Updater 5... but when I looked in JRun Admin, it's showing build 84683.
Wouldn't that indicate Updater 4? If correct, would updating to Updater 5
or 6 be advisable?
Any thoughts would be helpful...

Re: Anything wrong with these JVM settings? Jrun updater? CF 6.1 J2EE
Thanks, Brad. People I have talked have told me no issues going to _13, in fact, they have recommended it... but that may be under the assumption that we are running Updater 6, which we aren't. What's the fallback, here? Use the time zone updater and go back to the original JVM, go back to _11 (which I have installed, just in case), or go ahead and update JRun to Updater 6? Currently, we're not experiencing issues... it's been temporarily handled (we've temporarily disabled some functionality not critical to the site that was taxing the server), but we're looking for a more long term fix.

Re: OT: Free WIKI web services?
If you are not looking to host it yourself, Seedwiki is an option. Although Seedwiki, technically, has downloadable code, I can say from personal experience NOT to try to install it and configure it yourself. The install files are virtually uninstallable - I gave up after 2 days, and they haven't been updated since that time. There are a couple of versions of CFWiki out there on the web, a wiki written a few years back that SeedWiki is based upon. Although functional, it's not as fully functional as a lot of other wikis, and doesn't offer the password protection you seek. If that is an issue, and you are hosting yourself, there are many Wikis out there you could use, but the ones I mentioned are the only Wikis programmed in the CF world. Writing a decent one in CF is on my list of "to dos", but it's low on the list! :-) On Tue, 1 Feb 2005 07:46:30 -0800, Sean Corfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 14:16:49 -0600, Jake McKee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry for the off-topic post, but > > > > Does anyone know of a good, free, and password-protectable WIKI? > > > > I might be willing to pay a reasonable amount if I can keep the content > > private and the service is stable. > > I don't know how 'good' it is but http://www.seedwiki.com/ ought to > suit your needs. > -- > Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ > Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ > Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme > Got Gmail? -- I have 5 invites to give away! > > "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." > -- Margaret Atwood > > ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:192607 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: Moving from CF 5 to MX6 or MX7
We went through a big migration that took us six weeks. Thankfully,
we planned for that. We ran into significant problems with
structures, WDDX, null values, and integration components, and
significant query of queries issues. Thankfully, we did take the
time, and we also went through the application and fixed CF5 problems
that had gotten lost in cyberspace because no one was paying attention
to them. Our application, that runs differently depending on the
client, now runs better than it used to - faster with less bugs.
We're slowly putting in CFCs and other MX 6.1 logic. I think it will
be a while before we go MX 7 though.
