I want to see this WAS - JSP 10X faster than CFM?
This is a great article. I'm still waiting for the article that compares .Net framework/asp.net, Java J2EE/jsp, and CFMX. I have gotten deep into .net yet, but all of the good stuff I hear about it reminds me a whole lot of java and cf. CFMX is sounding a whole lot like java as well. I'd love to read some sort of comparison article between these three technologies. What sorts of features they share, and what sorts of features are unique. If anybody has already seen one of these, I'd love to read it.

EG : cftry cfquery datasource=#doesThisExist# /cfquery cfcatch type=database What would happen if no query was specified? /cfcatch /cftry I'd like to assume that cfServer still tries to make a physical connection before running the query.

Re: Is Flash really THAT good?
Ok, first off, that article was written years ago. Although there are probably more flash animations online than back then, Flash has still made leaps and bounds of progress. Secondly, how much DHTML have you done? Now, how much cross browser DHTML have you done? How much database driven DHTML have you done? Although it's not apples to apples, you can deliver cross browser / stand alone apps, in flash that are practically impossible in DHTML. Thirdly, if we didn't have flash, it'd be some other replacement for the animated gifs that people would be complaining about. Fourthly, I understand where you are coming from since I have heard other people say the same thing about flash. However, with a thread like this, it makes me think that you are like the others who bitch about flash yet haven't seen any flash movies worth while. Here are a few flash sites that I consider to be worth your viewing. http://www.2advanced.com/flashindex.htm http://www.egomedia.com http://www.estudio.com just about any flash site on http://www.cwd.dk http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html (had to throw this is for the humor) Just to name a few.

Even though it has database connectivity, I still see it as a frustrating way to create needless animations. Maybe I'm wrong. I admit I have only got into Flash a little bit but every time I do, I end up asking myself why I am wasting my time with this tool. As application developers, do you take Flash seriously? Do you think it does or will ever make since to use it for your full blown applications?

Yes. Flash is like so many other technologies, it has it's place. Unfortunately, too many people see simple uses for flash, and not the good uses.

F*( the customer. We're not talking about customers. Yikes! Do you develop business-related web apps? If so, double yikes! I'll stand by what I said, but only in this context only. Unfortunately, too many people see simple uses for flash, and not the good uses. Again, yikes! Simple vs. good? These are rarely opposites. They are almost always synonymous. Yes. That was poor choice of wording (just like above) on my part because I was trying to describe the constant pop-ups/downs or over web site ads that seem to be the rage right now. The never mind the customer and fancy/complicated = good mindset leads to user-unfriendly designs and--even worse from a business standpoint--lost customers. It's OK among techies, but it's horrible in the business world. Yes, the sites I submitted fall into this category, and despite my earlier customer comment, I like lists like this because I consider it mostly if not only techies. ~| 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 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

CFMX and JSP connections
I've got a question about CFMX and connections to datasources. It seems that CF5 was able to connect even more than previous versions. Now I'm starting to get the feeling that CFMX can only connect to datasources that Java can connect to. Can anybody clear this up for me? I was all excited about DSN-less connections in CF5, but now I'm wondering if that only works for sources that a JDBC provider exists for.

Folks,
On a CF 5 server I'd like to make a dynamic connection to an excel file
using the dynamic query option. I have 2 issues. First, I can't seem to
get the connection string right. This one seems to access the file:
Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)}; DBQ=d:\test.xls; FIL=MSExcel;
MaxBufferSize=2048; PageTimeout=5
The call to the driver is returning an error FROM the odbc excel driver
that says installable ISAM could not be found. Does anyone have the
proper syntax for this?
Secondly, once I connect successfully - what do I use to query with? Is it
sheet1 or workbook1.sheet1 or ... what? Any clues are helpful. Thanks!

Re: CF clarification
What is cold fusion exactly? MM's site can give you a better definition, but I always tell people that Cold Fusion is another server side web language just like ASP, PHP, JSP, etc. Granted, if you get granular it's not 'just like' the others, but IMO it was created to solve the same web problems that all of the other languages try to solve. Why use it if you already have an XSLT processor and say Tomcat running on apache? If you already know JSP, there's no need since Tomcat is the JSP container. What is it's advantages over just running Java or PHP on apache? Cold Fusion is cake to learn, but you can solve all the same problems with CF that you can with other popular languages.

Re: Saving CF output to Excel and comma delimited text
George, I have done two things relating to Excel and CF/ASP. 1.Write results to .csv file and then import into XL. This one is pretty simple. A.Run query B.Use CFSAVECONTENT to store the contents of your csv file C.Use CFFILE to write the contents to a .csv file 2.Use the XL ActiveX spreadsheet control in IE. This one is totally sweet, but you are restricted to IE5.5+. Basically you drop the ActiveX control into your .cfm page using the OBJECT tag and you can send the results of a query inot the spreadsheet control itself. Then, for users who have Excel installed on their computer, they can click the green XL button in the toolbar (of the control) and export it directly to excel. Option two is really cool for this specific scenario. If you'd like, I can send you a copy of the .cfm file I used way back when. Eric - Original Message - From: Earl, George [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are using CF 5.0 to generate some pretty complex report output from answer sets we return from DB2 and Oracle. One of our requirements is to allow users to save the final formatted report output to Excel and to text files on their workstations (either directly in place of sending output to the browser or after having received it in the browser). We are an inTRAnet MS shop that has standardized on MSIE 6.0 and Office XP, though we are in transition from MSIE 5.01/5.5 and Office 97 . . . I've seen and I've played with the usual cfcontent examples for dumping query results to Excel and text files and they work fine for that purpose, however we manipulate the answer sets before generating the reports and for our final formatted report output these examples fall short. I've also seen the examples (Ben Forta's WACK) for using Microsoft's Excel-HTML that Excel can import as a .xls file. I need to look at this more, but I'm concerned about the additional overhead considering the large number of reports we have. Is anyone using this MS Excel-HTML approach? What other approaches are people using to dump their HTML reports into Excel and text files? (XML is not an option for us right now . . .) Thanks!

Re: Learn ASP?
Oliver, I am currently doing the ASP thing as well and I highly suggest you do not pass go without first going here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=01592C48-207D-4BE1-8A76-1C4099D7BBB9displaylang=en and downloading scrdoc56en.exe. The documentation it will install is invaluable since it contains all of the latest VBScript, JScript, etc, that you will find yourself using in ASP. Also, ASP doesn't suck, it's just a PITA. It's good that you're not CF only. While you'll find your ASP project to be a royal pain, in the end you will find yourself with more skills and most likely a better understanding of scripting in general As far as best practices, here are a few suggestions that I try to live by. 1.Use Option Explicit. Although you may find this time consuming, I can not tell you how important this is to do. 2.Use DSN-less connections with your OLEDB provider. 3.If possible, use SELECT CASE instead of multiple If Then's. SELECT CASE is the ASP equivalent of CFSWITCH 4.When debugging variables, wrapping a variable in TypeName(variable) can be so helpful. It's one of the few things I wish CF had. Even though ASP is a typeless enviornment, the data stored in a variable will still have a data type. 5.When querying a database using ADO, use the .GetRows() method of the ADODB.Recordset object. This is the fastest way to retrieve a results back from a query. In a nutshell, you will connect to your db, run the query, return the results into an ADODB.Recordset object, and then rs.GetRows() will copy the contents of your recordset into a 2d array object. Then all you have to do is deal with an array. If you are not already familiar with 2D arrays, learn them. I could probably squeeze a few more out, but I'll wait until you get into the project. If you need any further ASP assistance feel free to email me offlist. Eric - Original Message - From: Oliver Cookson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Sorry for the off-topic post but I have been thrown in the deep end and need to learn ASP for a project which will soon be landing on my desk, so I was hoping someone could recommend a book which teaches me the syntax and best practises in ASP. I can\have wrote code in CF, JSP PHP so I am not looking for a book which includes general web programming skills just specific to ASP. ~| 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 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: CFMX Datasource connection string
It's been a while since my JSP days, but I know for a fact that you can do DSN-less connections from JSP. I'm having a hard time finding my code but this page may offer some assistance http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=48thread=137157message=369435 E - Original Message - From: Bryan Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Markthere's a totally different way of doing this in MXhere's a reply to my request for the same info months ago...reply from Samual R. Neff: --- Bryan, As earlier posters stated, DSN-less connections are no longer directly supported in CFMX because they are not supported in JDBC. However, there is an easy work around. Jet (MS Access database engine) supports a special use of the IN keyword in the FROM clause of a query to specify another source database. The secondary source can be a Jet (Access) database or any Jet accessible source (Excel, DBase, Text, etc.) or any ODBC connection (dynamic connect string). To set this up create an empty Access database and then create a datasource for this database named PassThroughMDB. Then you can run queries like: cfquery name=getFromDynamicConnection datasource=PassThroughMDB SELECT * FROM some_table_in_another_db IN 'c:\wherever\other_database.mdb' /cfquery You can experiment with paths to an MDB, XLS, etc. or you can use an ODBC connect string. To use ODBC I believe you have prepend it with ODBC; as in FROM wherever IN 'ODBC; [dynamic odbc connect string]' See MS Access help for more information. You can also view some examples in MSDN Library. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/off2000/htm l/acsqlINX.asp Another option is to create linked tables in the Access database. I know you can do this with DAO, and you may be able to do it with some combination of ADOX/JRO or even with DDL through CFQUERY. If using MSSQL or Oracle (and if so why would you need a dynamic connect string?) you can use linked databases (perhaps they use a different term, but the concept exists in both). Good luck!

With CF5 I used a DSN-less connection string to connect to a SQL2000 shared db. Now, as I know, CFMX won't accept DSN-less strings. Problem is, I don't know how to plug in the parameters into a CFQUERY. Specifically, where do I put the network connection string that the ISP supplies? I notice that since its left off in my CFMX query statements, performance in doing a query is extremely slow (because the query is looking all over the network for my db). The DSN string supplied to me to use is as follows: dsn=abcd;uid=myUserID;pwd=myPassword;network=dbmssql Here's my cfquery statement: cfquery name=qProduct datasource=abcd username=myUserID password=myPassword This works, albeit slow. So what setting do I use to point to the network? There's so many Cfquery parameters that are deprecated in CFMX I'm at a loss of what to do.

Re: Finding parts to a string
If I'm reading this correctly, you've got sText and you want to get sPart1 and sPart2 where your delimiter will always be nbsp; If you will always have that same delimiter, you can split sText into an array using ListToArray(list [, delimiter ]) EX : cfset sText = Green Acres nbsp; USA cfset vStuff = ListToArray(sText , nbsp;) Then you've got yourself an array you can use. cfset sPart1 = vStuff[1] cfset sPart1 = vStuff[2] (Forgive me if my cf array syntax is wrong, I'm deep in ASP hell right now) Hope this helps!

Why XHTML in cftags WAS - XHTML syntax (self-closing tags)
I don't understand why you would decide to XHTML-ize your cftags when cftags are server side. EG : br / is client side and is xhtml cfset foo = bar = cfset foo = bar / with the exception being you are typing more than you need to. Did I misunderstand the original post? Eric Oh yeah, instead of cfdump var=#session# /, why don't you do this ? cfdump var=session - Original Message - From: Charlie Griefer [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK...i like to keep consistent, so I've started doing things likse cfset foo = bar / etc. Certain tags tho, will display twice (eg cfdump var=#session# /). So here's an exception to the rule (the consistency that I was striving to maintain begins to break down). Furthermore, it has me wondering if cfset foo = bar / actually sets the variable twice. Obviously, not an issue as far as the value of the variable, but certainly not terribly efficient. Is anybody actively/currently using this syntax? Any definitive answer on whether or not cfset / executes twice? ~| 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 Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.

Re: Why XHTML in cftags WAS - XHTML syntax (self-closing tags)
I certainly agree with that, but I still find it to be un-needed. Especially if you are able to seperate most of your CF code from your xHtml code. Just my two cents E - Original Message - From: Sean A Corfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] So that the mix of HTML and CFML in your source file is consistent (and attempts to be XHTML styled). If you get into the habit and closing all tags, you're less likely to write HTML that isn't XHTML, IMO. ~| 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 Your ad could be here.
