Re: ColdFusion Tech Talk (CF-Talk): Digest every 2 hours
Just curious, but why would you val() the myVar when you already have it set as a numeric value? (since it isn't set in quotes then it wouldn't be considered a string, right?) Not sure about your test there. Haven't really seen this isValid() function yet... Cutter Tim Lux wrote: Small typo in the cfoutput section. it should be myVar, not myVal.

Nor does it provide any info on a forthcoming fix. Can someone from Adobe please respond to this! I'm amazed I have to say this, but I think Dave is wrong. :p From everything i have read the change will be included in a security update on April 11. This means people WILL install it. Most organizations have become very diligent in installing these security patches. I downloaded the IE update to test myself and all the CF generated flash loads inactive. I've already rewritten the code to display my cfdocuments using the Microsoft workaround example. (document.write() in included javascript) However, cfdocument is easy because it will leave the actual flash/pdf binary in its place. When CF processes a cfform tag it only leaves the html to load the flash in its place. Because of this I do not know how to use and of the included JavaScript workarounds for flash forms.

Building a string

cffile copy
OK, rewriting some old code here, and I have a question. I'm seeing two different things happening here. In one instance it says cffile action='copy' source='#thefullsourcefilepath#' destination='#afulldestinationpathwithfilename#' in another instance it reads like cffile action='copy' source='#thefullsourcefilepath# destination='#justapathwithoutafilename#' and yet another instance reads cffile action='copy' source='#thefullsourcefilepath#' destination='#justapathwithoutafilename#' cffile action='rename' source='#thisnewfilepathandname#' destination='#samepathwithnewfilename#' It seems to me that the first option makes the most sense. LiveDocs says that action='copy' can take just a path or a path with filename for the destination attribute, but if the intent of the code is to rename the file in the new location anyway then option 1 seems like the best option.

Re: check out this CS response
We did the trial of ReactorFusion, and now we're buying several licenses. There were some processes (related to java libraries used by a few apps) that occasionally would over flood the system(s) with long running thread processes. Upon installing ReactorFusion, our uptime improved considerably because it automatically reigned in many of those processes, without additional configuration of the utility. We can further extend that functionality if we define some specific crash protection rules. Ray, I'm not going to say that they're FOS, just that they might be ignorant of all of their options.

The main problem is that all customers' scripts are running in a single process and a single customer with faulty scripts can keep shutting down the server. Moving the customer from server to server will not help as this problem is exhibited by all ColdFusion servers.

Still In The Works (OpenBiz)
This morning I sent this out to the Nashville CFUG mailing list and thought it important to copy it to drop in here as well. --C-- - By the way, didn't get the chance to mention this last night so I thought I'd bring it up here. Before I begin let me just say that I am not trying to start a flame war on a low traffic local cfug list, please read through the entire message and think about it's text before blindly responding. For some reason there appears to be a growing need, within the CF community, to defend the validity of programming within CF. The uninformed/unitiated either a) don't know that ColdFusion exists, or b) think of it as a low-level tag-based scripting language with no power and a high price tag. Now, I don't know about ya'll, but I'd like to beat these people with their own arms for being dumber than a stump. But, since that's not an option and we all have to work to feed our families, many in the community are working towards giving CF 'validity'. Now, not all of these people look at their contributions like this. Some of this are 'just trying to help out.' But the bottom line is (in the many discussions that are out there) that there aren't a ton of high level, enterprise marketable, applications out there written in CF. There are hundreds of little snippet programs for doing this and that. There are thousands of SOHO business applications written in CF 2/3/4/5 un-modifiable, non-configurable spaghetti code. There ARE NOT many high end Open Source enterprise level applications written in ColdFusion. So? That's the response I get a lot. But what are we, as CF developers, competing with? How about the hundreds of thousands of open source applications written in C++, PHP, or Python, or even ASP (shudder). Applications that companies download, install, and work with every day. With such a great development community, why don't we have more/better to offer for ColdFusion? Don't get me wrong, I love and applaud the efforts of all of the framework developers we have (Hal, Ben, S. Isaac, Rob, et. al.) and appreciate those who crank it out just for our benefit, learning and enjoyment (thanks Ray), but CF needs some well-designed, well-coded, well-documented Open Source programs to offer to the world. Something that tells people We're serious about what we do. We're good at it, and only work with the best tools available. That's ColdFusion. So, having said all of that, and having stated my opinion for all to poke, prod, and plunder, I finally come down to my point and request. Not long ago a few people spoke out on the CF-Talk (houseoffusion.com) list for developing an Open Source E-Commerce application. For anyone who's really looked out there for a good CF cart, you may have seen that a) none are free, b) there aren't really that many, and c) few are worth a damn. Some of the higher priced ones are rather nice, but that doesn't mean that they are very configurable (by John Doe, shop owner and all around nice, non-programming guy), nor does that mean they are stable and well written (some haven't had their core business logic updated since FB 3). So, now there is an Open Source project on SourceForge.net for openSource Business Services (keyword openbizservices). The project started just before the holidays, so there hasn't been a lot of activity yet. I've only seen posts from three people in the forums so far (one of 'em being me). The overall scope of the project is 'in process' and is quickly taking shape. This morning I received an initial Design Document from Andy and it is fantastic for a first draft. This project, though still being scoped, is to be very full featured, well formed and documented, as well as extensible. Part of the core process is to design component objects that can be easily extensible for platform and db independence, that can be used in almost any framework or within a basic format we include. But, we need help. There are very few of us in this right now, giving only a few hours a week. The project will be broken down into many small sub-projects that will complete/compliment the overall design, so the more help the faster and more full-featured it will be. So, anyone interested in helping out (even just an hour or two a week) should please go over to SourceForge.net and sign up for the lists. We, and eventually the community at large, will greatly appreciate it.

Re: Coldfusion CFMX 6.1 on Red Hat
There was something in the CFPodcasts about this (can't remember which, but I know it was somewhere between 1 and three). Apparently there was a new Security Engine layer built into the latest version of RedHat as part of an initiative from NSA to create a more secure computing environment. Support is built into CF7, but not into 6.1, although they may have said in the podcast that there were workarounds (I don't remember). You can check Adobe's technotes, as well as the summaries of the podcasts on coldfusionpodcast.com (I think it's Episode 2 in the section on Stephen Collins guide, but I could be wrong. It could just be part of the podcast where they mention one of the updater releases, which they talked about in Episodes 1 2).

I'm a late convert to the WIKI seen.. but I quite like working with them once you get going. I think however you need the right content project and a community of wiki users ie people who know how it works or are prepared to learn -- this isn't the general public just yet. Navigational concepts get a bit blurry and its important that people who really do know what they are doing constantly keep pruning the wiki so to speak, otherwise it gets out of hand, and/or whithers and dies.

Re: Tracking downloads of mp3 files
Mike, Another possible issue to consider, is the production server Windows or Linux? A Linux machine will be case sensitive to file and folder names, and won't allow spaces either. Another simple test you might (and probably should) use: fileexists(string path). The 'file' attribute of the cfcontent tag won't do you diddly if it can't find the file you're looking for (you may have thought of this already, but it's the simple stupid stuff that always catches me with my pants down...)

Re: Open Source Shopping Cart Architecture
Looks great. Only two things I might have issue with: 1. Only writing for CFMX 7 will alienate the many out there who finally moved to 6.1 (once achieving corporate approval) or who have moved to BlueDragon. An option within the install to define the server environment can enable/disable features that might be version specific (like Flash or XForms or CFDocument). 2. Use of stored procedures will alienate anyone using MySQL prior to version 5. Many shops may not upgrade for a year or more to guarantee (in their minds) stability as well as testing (kinda the same reasoning you may night want to write exclusively for MX 7...). I would suggest a DAO architecture that you could then extend for different database platforms (MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, etc.) and include the need within the install to define the db platform being used. A good example of this can be seen by DAO CFC's written by CFCCreator. I would also suggest defining some basic coding guidelines. Code indentation, variable naming conventions, db table and column naming conventions, documentation specifications (I suggest JavaDoc), etc. This will keep everyone on the same sheet of music, make code review and revision easier, and implement some design consistency to make final packaging much cleaner.

Although the initial planning may take longer it is definitely worth while to make this an OO application. It is actually easier (by far) to modify and extend a well documented OO app over a procedural app. It is easier to design and apply extension modules/components. It is easier to track your program flow. Using DAO CFC's will allow you to extend the app from a multitude of database platforms. A complete separation of the business logic from you control and presentation layers will force a developer to concentrate on the data to be presented rather than the presentation (which could then be output in HTML, XHTML, XML, or even Flash). And, since you are already planning on using CFC's, a loosely coupled MVC OO approach will break down the project into easily defined subprojects. This type of approach would also make it very easy to port into most existing frameworks (Mach II, Fusebox, Model-Glue, etc.) Would an OO approach alienate a majority of users? I don't think so. If you offer a superior product, with the features they want, then the users will take the time to read documentation to make it work for them. These aren't advanced programming concepts, they're good programming practices. Those of you looking to turn this into a learning experience will gain a much better learning experience by moving forward from an OO standpoint. My two $.02. Hope it helps. Cutter dave wrote: most of that sounds good but some of it is a bit over the top. If you make it 00 then it will alienate a good majority of users, needs to be simple enough that the average user can modify it. Some of the xml stuff is over most peoples heads, maybe we could end up with 2 versions and the 2nd can be a paid version with all that stuff. I know a lot of people will want to show off their skills but i think it needs to be user friendly enough for beginners to use it since they will be using it probably the most and for those ppl we try to get from php and such it will be an easier conversion. Have you noticed the ppl (including myself) that are volenteering aren't the experts on here? If it's gunna be 00 then you lose those helpers and since most of the higher end coders on here won't be helping so who's gunna go in and make all our stuff 00? other than that good plan. While you are doing that I will start on the base code and css. What are your opinions on that? I personally am using xhtml strict and mostly cssp on my current stuff, I don't mind being in charge of the base code stuff but lets agree on what to start with. I'll be more than happy to take each persons code and make it validate and all that good cross browser stuff. ~Dave the disruptor~ Some people just don't appreciate how difficult it is to dispense wisdom and abuse at the same time.

At each stage, we create a forum for the individual parts, each of use signs up for those that they can contribute to, someone takes lead for each...We finish then move to the next step of the design. Continue until done, then move to Detailed Design. While Use Cases are being created, the Archeticts can start creating the framework within which detailed design and coding will operate within.

Hi guys,
I'm quite happy with myself because after so long i've been using CF
i haven't always been using it in 'rapid development'... but today
instead of keep re-writing code, usually in a copy paste style then
a re-hash of variable names etc I decided I was going to create an
include file so I could reuse a form. In this case it was a 'contact
us form'.
I created an include file that had a form in it and also a cfif
isDefined type thingy so that if the form had been submitted then it
would action that.
So I have on my main page:
-
!--- contact us form ---
cfset actionPage = /index_02005ii.cfm?cp=13
cfinclude template=/webs/02005/includes/
include_formContactUs.cfm
!--- end of contact us form ---
-
AND ON my include_formContactUs.cfm I have:
-
cfif isDefined('sendContact')
Blah blah
/cfif
My form
-
However, I know this is probably the right time for me to do it
another way, but i'm just not sure how to do it. It works fine the
way it is but i know that for instance i have set the actionPage but
i'm sure there is a different way of doing that? It's not a
CFFUNCTION i have to make is it?
Is it worth doing it for this? I'm sure it would come handy because
so often I have written 'contact us' type action forms.
Thanks for your help,

Re: Outlook integration?
Aw, come on now Damien. Why don't we give some good advice and possible recommendations, rather than off handedly trash DRE's client for poor program choices;) I do agree with Damien, Outlook is a very poor choice for this (or any other) type of application. That being said, what you ask is not entirely impossible. It really depends upon your client's internal architecture. Is your client using Exchange? Is their app an Exchange based app? Are they using a custom form Outlook application? Where is Outlook housed (client machine, server, etc.)? Is there currently scripting within Outlook to prevent double location bookings, or is this something you must build into the server side processing of your application? Having answered these questions, if you are still using Outlook, you'll want to look at the specs for vCal. You can find a great deal of information on programming for Outlook at msdn.microsoft.com. Sue Mosher's slipstick.com has been a resource for Outlook developer's since the Office '97 days (she has also written several informative books). Doing a search, I see that she's expanded to OutlookCode.com. CFComet has always been a good resource for CF/MS Office integration as well (http://cfregex.com/cfcomet/outlook/ for outlook specific help). Chris Wigginton posted a vCal UDF library (http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=385). I personally can't imagine why anyone would write a reservations or property management package based upon Outlook? But, then again, every music scheduling program (that I know of) for radio stations are built on top of Access databases (which may be part of the reason you hear the same 1,000 or so songs over and over again on most radio stations). In any event, I hope some of the above information assists you.

Re: CSS and Firefox
Inconsistencies between browsers (IE, Firefox, etc.) does present minor
issues on occasion, not just in basic terms (like slight differences to
the DOM style references), but also in broader issues (like how each
browser is affected by the use of a particular DTD). When IE7 is finally
released hopefully some of this will be relieved (if they can convince
everyone to upgrade [yeah, right...]).
All of that being said though, it's worth the tradeoff. I've been slowly
implementing styles in my work for the last few years. I've even totally
rewritten 3rd party code to make it HTML 4/XHTML compliant with styles
(and later stylesheets) so that they were easier to change/maintain.
It's nice to change one line of CSS to change the appearance of an item
across an entire site (like changing the font-type, or the font-size, or
the background color). Sure, sometimes there are issues (especially with
the box model), but generally a little time of tweaking/testing will
work it out, with an occasional trip to Google or the W3CSchool.
I generally start with a layout that works with Firefox (my browser of
choice) and then look at it within IE to see what needs to be
changed/adjusted. I pre-plan my layout prior to coding, which helps me
develop with an eye for encapsulating pods of content and pre-defining
default and block level styles. Since the view layer is usually the last
area of code I work on it typically doesn't take much of my time. Since
code/dev is only about 10% of my current work week then that is time
well spent (I can't wait to get back to core dev. Now, where was that
resume?...)
Minor things will drive you nuts, but typically only you will notice.
It's worth the initial effort.

It does seem an elegant and efficient way to design,

design issues.
I'm just wondering if I'll be spending too much time trying
to make CSS design behave and not enough time coding CF.
I guess there's probably a common set of functional design
patterns that work well with all (mostly all) browsers and I
could learn what to stay away from...
What's been the key for making CSS work well for you

it just seem that there are a lot of issues because the problems

For instance, on http://i05.irieradio.com, on pages other than the home page and the blogs page, my central content area has decided to displace itself to below the left nav.

Experience with CFC development strongly recommended...if you grok OOP and MVC, so much the better but don't be discouraged if you don't! We'll review some of these core concepts briefly before getting into the code. By the end of the session you'll have just enough familiarity with OOP and Mach-ii to go back to work in the morning wanting to clean up many of your apps.

OT: CSS and Firefox
I can't get my head around this. Small but significant problem with external stylesheets. I've got this page (http://s05.seacrets.com) where the flash item in the middle of the page is supposed to be flush on the top of the div containing it (#primaryContent). This (oddly) is working great in IE 6.x, but isn't working within Firefox 1.0.5. I have a global.css file loading first, setting initial style properties of all base elements of the site (header graphic, nav menu, etc.). I use another stylesheet to define styles for elements specific to the page being viewed. This file may also be used to override style settings set previously by the global stylesheet. In this case I'm overriding the padding property of the primaryContent Div (well, I am in IE anyway). I just can't seem to get this secondary style sheet to take. I've run the W3C Validators on the page. CSS validates fine, the XHTML only bombs on the embed tag used for the flash element (anyone know how to get around that?).

hhhmmm, sounds like mach-ii, or fusebox, or... Cutter Matthew Small wrote: You wind up with all this controller code spread through hundreds of pages / components What does that mean? Controller code? You write a page that does one small section of your entire application, and you use code-behind to abstract the business logic from the presentation. It even makes it nice because you can write an entire application and give the presentation to a graphic designer to work around and he can't mess with the code. Allaire was preaching that 5 years ago. And most regular applications are scary! What's so scary about writing an application? I don't mean to be snide, but it sounds like you haven't figured out how to break up the application into smaller sub-applications. A lot of VB apps I've seen are very anti-architecture So what? There's plenty of good ones, and there are plenty of bad ones. But one point I'll concede - I've never seen a poorly written CF application... wait a second, there was that one... (redneck voice: Hey y'all, we'll just stick the logic on this here button's OnClick!) So you don't like event-based architecture? Go look at Mach-II then ask Mr. Corfield what he thinks about it. How about javascript? Why not look at something like the two-selects-related CF tag and tell me that it's not event-based?

You wind up with all this controller code spread through hundreds of pages / components, and when your model changes, you have to automagically remember which code behinds deal with that portion of the model, and go update them.

Re: MM - Adobe discussions
While I admit that the initial news is important to all of us, and the various predictions and debates have been enlightening and/or amusing, isn't it now time for much of this talk to move over to cf-community? Matt Woodward wrote: I agree when you are talking about RIA for the desktop, but even then, where do you draw the line between a RIA or a common Windows application? I believe there is too much going about the term RIA. Can we call a P2P application a RIA since it has internet connectivity? Or can we only call it a RIA when technologies like Flex, XAML come in place. What defines a RIA? Internet connectivity? Used technologies? Amount of interactivity? Type of application? That was my point I suppose--the line is getting so blurred that the distinctions become a bit irrelevant. If I had to make a distinction I'd say it really falls to the delivery and update mechanism. With a browser-based app you (potentially) get a new version of the app every time you open the browser. With a desktop app you have to explicitly download the new version and install it. Tools like Sash, Rebol, and Central put this process somewhere in-between--you get notified a new version is available, hit update and you're done. This is what's so interesting to me about this space right now, the fact that it's being defined while we watch. Whatever comes out of it it's going to change the way we think about these traditional distinctions in my opinion.

Re: Graphic Manipulation in Coldfusion question.
Jeff, Well, that does change things a little. You could always layer a transparent spacer gif over your image. Then if they try the right click save option they are actually saving the transparent gif. Or you could have a custom right click menu associated with the image that doesn't give them the option at all. Unless you want them to be able to save your finalized image (cropped), at which point I would suggest using the JAI, maybe through the alagad image component or one of the other ones that are out there...

Re: [CFCDev] CFC webservice issues - round two
Ok, that explains a few things. The CategoryServices.cfc is a facade for
the category.cfc (which is a catagory object). Man, this stuff is too
confusing. I wonder if I'm even on the right track now. I have a
subcategory complex datatype object which has complex datatypes within
it's own properties. I just read a technote that said I wouldn't be able
to use CF webservices for Flash connection with these types of objects
(although it wouldn't have a problem with .Net webservices? I hope that
technote was out of date...), that I would have to use Flash Remoting.
My biggest problem is finding a solid example of this kind/type of CF
programming. I am writing a custom e-comm application. Currently I have
several custom objects written (size, color, design, category,
subcategory, subsubcategory, itementity, apparelitem, shirtitem,
appcolor, appsize). Several of these objects are extensions of their
super object types. Most have been tested, but new requirement has been
the need for a Flash (MX 2004 Pro) front end (oh fun...) Moving to a
(somewhat) OO architecture has been interesting enough (though a
terrific time saver in the end run), but this is placing some whole new
twists in the equation (with a quickly shortening deadline). If I can
just get around the first object I think I can get this. Any and all
help is greatly appreciated, and I will gladly share some solutions when
I come to them.

I'm jumping into this thread late (been out of town for 5 weeks), so
hopefully I'm not repeating stuff you've already heard.
The issue is that the web service client (in your example, CF itself) is not
holding onto the session identifiers (either CFID/CFTOKEN or JSESSIONID,
depending on whether you are using J2EE sessions on your CF server).Each
request would need to contain that information for session variables to
work.
What's worse, it's not that the CF server is not keeping the session
variables, it's that CF is actually creating a NEW session every time you
call a method via web services (in the way you have it set up).
You could make part of your API a session identifier that needs to be passed
with each request, where you would have your clients call some kind of
getSession method, then use the identifier as one of the arguments each
time -- you would have to semi-manually set the session identifiers for the
request then.
More generally, statefulness and web services don't often mix well.If you
do go down that road, it's usually recommended that you create a separate
facade that handles the web service interface and session stuff and calls
back into a separate component that deals with the actual logic -- that
creates cleaner encapsulation and makes the logic code much more reusable
in other contexts.

Subject: Re: [CFCDev] CFC webservice issues - round two
Thanks to all who have been assisting here. After reading all of the
various replies, as well as a lot of time reading over two tons of
articles, I appear to be (slowly) making some progress.
Currently I am using a CategoryServices.cfc to access the category
object created by my category.cfc. I am able to initialize the object
using the following init() method:
cffunction name=getCategory access=remote returnType=struct
output=false
cfargument name=ID type=numeric
cfscript
variables.returnStruct = StructNew();
variables.returnStruct.ID = 0;
variables.returnStruct.catName = ;
variables.returnStruct.status = 1;
if (arguments.ID neq 0)
session.newCat =
CreateObject('component','category5').init(arguments.ID);
else
session.newCat =
CreateObject('component','category5').init();
variables.returnStruct.ID = session.newCat.getID();
variables.returnStruct.catName =
session.newCat.getCategoryName();
variables.returnStruct.status =
session.newCat.getStatus();
/cfscript
cfreturn variables.returnStruct
/cffunction
I thought that be instantiating the object within a session variable
that it would perpetuate for further method calls along these lines:
cffunction name=deleteCat access=remote returntype=void
output=false
cfargument name=ID type=numeric
cfif arguments.ID neq 0
cfset session.newCat.delete(arguments.ID)
/cfif
/cffunction
cffunction name=setCatName access=remote returntype=void
output=false
cfargument name=catName type=string
cfset
session.newCat.setCategoryName(#arguments.catName#)
/cffunction
cffunction name=setCatStatus access=remote returntype=void
output=false
cfargument name=status type=boolean
cfset session.newCat.setStatus(arguments.status)
/cffunction
cffunction name=createCat access=remote returntype=numeric
output=false
cfscript
session.newCat.create();
returnID = session.newCat.getID();

Re: CFC webservice issues - round two
Thank you all again for your assistance. Yeah, it was doing it for both create and update, I didn't realize which error I had up at the time (looking at this too long.) Ok, I think I'm beginning to understand a little bit. So, when I called my init method I created an object (aCat). Calling update or create is effectively creating a new object, not really updating or creating (sql calls) from the changes I've made to the object (aCat) through the set methods I had called to change the object's properties (which, from what it seems you are telling me, aren't really changing the 'aCat' object at all, unless the get/set methods CF automatically creates when you define cfproperties are 'public' rather than 'remote'.) I've never really tried to do webservices, and wouldn't normally mess with it in this instance except we're experimenting with a Flash 7 front end interface. So, how should I go about this? Should my init() method be 'remote' while my other methods are 'public'? What about instances where a 'property' of my object is another custom object? Is it just me, or is there really a lack of material out there on how to do this sort of thing effectively? I recently got a CD with 450+ articles from CFDJ over the last 4 years, and none of this seems to be covered very well...

CFC webservice objects
Sorry for cross posting this to more than one list, I'm sure some of you will see this twice. OK, maybe I'm just going crazy. I still can't get a CFC object to work correctly. I've seen 75 examples, and each one is different in even it's most basic form (many from the same authors). I even resorted to using DWMX 2004 to create a CFC, and create the call for it in another page (shiver). What's going on? I created a cfc to use as a webservice with 3 properties and a single init() method. I know that CF automatically creates get() and set() methods for each of the properties. Not rocket science (at least I didn't think so) but I'm just not getting anything. Here's the code: //** Here's the category5.cfc **// cfcomponent displayName=category5 cfproperty name=ID type=numeric cfproperty name=categoryName type=string cfproperty name=status type=boolean cffunction name=init access=remote returnType=category5 cfargument name=ID type=numeric default=0 cfif arguments.ID neq 0 cfquery name=cat datasource=#application.config.DSN# select txtBoutCat as category, blActive as status from tblboutcat2 where intBoutCatID = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer value=#arguments.ID# /cfquery cfif cat.recordcount eq 1 cfscript this.ID = arguments.ID; this.category = cat.category; this.status = cat.status; /cfscript /cfif /cfif cfreturn this /cffunction /cfcomponent //** Here's a call to the init **// cfinvoke webservice=#[the path]#/category5.cfc?wsdl method=init returnvariable=aCat cfinvokeargument name=ID value=1/ /cfinvoke //** And here's the cfdump of #aCat#.

CFC webservice issues - round two
OK, I finally have my init() method working, as well as learning some of the bugs (like the cfargument required=...now that's annoying). Here's a new one. I have a create method to write to the db. In the DWMX WebServices panel I can see the method (this applies to my update method as well). But when I call the method [aCat.create()] I get the following error on the page: Error Occurred While Processing Request The selected method update was not found. Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the method update is overloaded with arguments types that ColdFusion can't decipher reliably. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, you may need to use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity. Here is the code of the method: cffunction name=create access=remote returntype=void hint=Requires that you have already called the setCategoryName() and setStatus() methods of this object cftransaction cfquery name=qCat datasource=#application.config.DSN# insert into tblboutcat2 ( txtBoutCat, blActive ) values ( cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#this.categoryName# null=#YesNoFormat(NOT Len(Trim(this.categoryName)))#, cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_tinyint value=#this.status# null=#YesNoFormat(NOT Len(Trim(this.status)))# ) /cfquery cfquery name=qID datasource=#application.config.DSN# select max(intBoutCatID) as ID from tblboutcat2 /cfquery cfset this.ID = qID.ID /cftransaction /cffunction And here's the lines of the wsdl document that make me wonder: - wsdl:operation name=create wsdl:input name=createRequest message=impl:createRequest / wsdl:output name=createResponse message=impl:createResponse / wsdl:fault name=CFCInvocationException message=impl:CFCInvocationException / /wsdl:operation Once again, any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: MediaPlayer
Rick,
I would look into using WM9 as opposed to WM7 (fairly wide distribution,
so it shouldn't be much of a stretch.) MS has full documentation for
control in the SDK, and an active forum on their developer's site, which
may give you the information you need. If I had a little more time I
would try to research this for you, but I can tell you from experience
that the WM9 codec is much better than the WM7 codec, with better
compression and less loss.
