Re: Redirect in Application.cfc Pseudo Contructor Area: Bad Form?
Being that the https is required on every request, having this at the top of your constructor makes sense, to prevent processing of the other functions should the request be unsecure. I would put the check and redirect in a custom function, and call the function in the beginning of your constructor.

Therefore, if cgi.https is off, I will redirect the browser to the secured location. My plan was to put this code in the pseudo-constructor area (not in any particular function body): cfif len(trim(cgi.query_string)) gt 0 cfset queryString=?#cgi.query_string# cfelse cfset queryString= /cfif cfif cgi.https is off cflocation url=https://#cgi.server_name##cgi.path_info##queryString#; addtoken=no statuscode=301 /cfif The code works fine, but I'm wondering if it is the wrong place to put this code. Would it be more-semantic if it were located in the onRequestStart function? On this particular site, every page will need to be secured.

Re: Cflayout CfMenu Problem
No, if you are placing the cfmenu inside a border region (like north) then the styles won't allow the submenu items to properly flow over your center region. You may be able to find the necessary css class for those sub-items and apply an overriding style definition, declaring a z-index that is higher than that of the center region...

[Resolved] Dynamic robots.txt
We use a custom 404 handler, so we looked at the template asked for (robots.txt) and, if that was what was called, cfincluded a robots.cfm that generated the output with a cfheader status 200 and a cfcontent type text/plain.

Re: Dynamic robots.txt
It's a little hard to explain. It's an inherited application, that is (very) slowly being refactored. To get some idea, you can read this post from last year: http://blog.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/2008/6/22/Build-Applications-That-Scale No, there aren't 2000 entries in IIS. It's a single application template engine that keys off of the domain name to decide what the site will look like/do. It's crazy to work on, and a testament to what CF is capable of. Peter Bell was brought in to help us with some planning on refactoring, and Mike Brunt was brought in post server migration to assist us with some fine tuning. As a team, it isn't what our ideal app would look like, and we're moving in that direction, but we also have to keep feeding the kids;) Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com On 5/27/2009 2:43 PM, Nathan Strutz wrote: I second Michael's suggestion of IIRF, http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF - it's pretty good.

Throw together a script that generates the content of your file, then write it to the web root of your web sites. ba-da-bing, no server installs for rewrite plugins, no strange 404 error catching and no reconfiguration of JRun to get it to parse *.txt files. Put it on a schedule to run every day or every hour or just run it when you want. Now that that's solved (...right...) what's this about an app that runs 2000 web sites? Please tell me there aren't 2000 entries in your web server for different domains and that you instead, intelligently, map them to the same web front end with some certain things switched in and out based on the domain... please?

Use jQuery. Seriously. Combine valid HTML (you need to fix that too) with
jQuery and the number of cross-browser problems you'll have will drop
massively.
Both because the jQuery authors/contributors have already done the hard bit
of figuring out browser quirks, and also just because it simplifies your
code a great deal - the simpler the code, the less that can go wrong.

Nested CFLayout doesn't work at all. This is an issue with CF's implementation of Ext border layouts. They apply the region name to the id attribute of the div (ie: region north - id=north).

Re: ajax and special characters
If, when making your Ajax calls, you pass the returnFormat = JSON attribute to your CFC method, then CF will automatically encode the result when creating the JSON output. When passing a JSON value to ColdFusion, inside your CFC method you can use the DeserializeJson() method to decode the value.

Priya, This still doesn't show us the line of code calling that file. This would determine the type of path you require. A cffile tag, for instance, would require a system path to the resource (c:\Inetpub\etc), whereas the cfinclude tag would require something like a relative path (template=/File1.cfm).

Re: Multiple ColdFusion AKA JRun Server port numbers.
Ian, We use Apache + CF 8 Multi-Instance in our local development, with each developer maintaining a mirrored environment. What we've found is that by setting a process, and building out each instance in the same order, we all retain the same ports. Changing port numbers shouldn't an issue for you, as long as you're using the ports already setup by your servers. By this I mean it won't hurt for you to change your 'sites' instance to 51002, if that is your port for your 'control' instance, as long as you're changing the 'control' instance to the 51001 previously held by the 'sites' instance. Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Ian Skinner wrote: As I have recently learned better, when one creates multiple ColdFusion instances (aka JRun Servers) each one gets a unique port number staring at 51000 and incrementing from there. One then uses this port number in the JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51000 line as part of the httpd.conf document Apache Virtual Host definition to define which Virtual Hosts run against which ColdFusion instances. I think I understand this well enough, but my question is about modifying these ports if I do not want to use the ones defined by default when one creates a new CF instance through the Administrator wizard. The reason for this in my mind is keeping multiple server environments as similar as possible. We are building a new development and production combination of servers. I would like our httpd.conf files to have as few differences as possible between the two. To not be constrained by having these port numbers be determined the order the CF instances are created on the server, I was looking for guidance on defining these ports explicitly. So if I just go through the jrun.xml file and change these ports for each server is this enough to define them. Or is there someplace else I need to modify this?

Re: cflayout annoying issue
MS, The Ext Viewport doesn't work in this fashion (that's the underlying component of cflayout).

Re: JVM Tuning and Garbage Collection
Rick,
We run very similar traffic. We found GC to be much better, for our app,
when using the 1.5.0_14 JVM, over the default CF8 JVM. We hired Mike
Brunt to come in and consult with us (some of the best money we ever
spent). This may be better with the 1.6.0_11 JVM, but we haven't tested
that yet.

peak activity between 8 and 10pm.
We spread this across 3 instances with 1gb of memory each.
Time between major GCs right now is about 14 minutes. However during
the peak time, major GCs run about every 6 minutes.
These garbage collections cause a temporary pause in the processing of
requets while memory is cleaned up, and when you're getting 8 requests
per second, they pile up quite rapidly.
Right now I have Fusion Reactor configured to only allow 15 requests
into CF at a time and queue the rest.. but during these 15-20 seconds
of slow processing (every 6 minutes on each of the 3 instances),
unusual things happen like lock timeouts in the application.cfm.
Now.. after a major garbage collection, memory usage drops from 1GB to 400MB.
We're running windows server 2003 with 2 Xeon 3ghz CPUs and 4GB of RAM

Maximum number of simultaneous Flash Remoting requests 3
Maximum number of simultaneous Web Service requests 3
Maximum number of simultaneous CFC function requests 3

Maximum number of queued JRun Threads 1000
And as I said... Fusion Reactor is configured to queue requests beyond

Re: CF8 Multi Server Config Help
Joel, I would suggest to anyone to use the multi-server install. Each cf server instance has it's own jvm and RAM allocation, plus you truly separate your applications at that point (we run an instance for front-end site display and a separate instance for the Control Panel app to configure sites). That being said, you might not want a separate instance for every site, as you can quickly eat system resources as well. The default cfusion instance is only used for it's Enterprise Manager to create new instances, otherwise we turn it off by default. The step you've probably missed is in setting up the Jrun connector. Once your new instance is running, you need to setup a webserver connector, connecting a site to a specific JRun instance. You do this with the wsconfig utility: c:\Jrun4\bin\wsconfig.exe This is a java based utility, that will show you all of the current connectors, and allow you to add or remove connectors. It is very easy to use with IIS.

Re: Connection pooling - why bother?
Not using connection pooling, in our environment, significantly slow down all process, and increases overhead to an order that eventually will bring a server to a complete non-responsive state. Basically, you end up tying up every available active thread request with long running DB requests, and the inactive thread pool 'overflows', to the point that active requests will complete, but inactive threads never transfer to active status.

Re: Connection pooling - why bother?
I guess it depends on your application, and the traffic you expect. One of our servers will process 500k db requests in a 4 hour period (according to FusionReactor), so in our environment we would be insane not to use connection pooling.

I'm getting results suggesting that turning on maintain connections does basically nothing for performance, and that using an alternative unpooled connection provider (in this case Spring's DriverManagerDataSource with jTDS) is way faster. The context to this is that Spring's doc says you shouldn't use their DriverManagerDataSource for production. Because it doesn't use pooling, it's not up to the job. So they say. However, testing on CF8.01 with 10 simultaneous requests, I'm getting about 50% better throughput with Spring's setup than going via CF's datasources. Now, benchmarking is a perilous undertaking, but this is my real-world app I'm using for testing, so the numbers are certainly meaningful for me. Seeing Spring's do not use this - it is a toy connection provider outperform CF, and not otherwise display any signs of being a toy, was a bit of a shock. Where I'm really going with this is trying to work out whether DriverManagerDataSource actually is a toy - I'm no mad performance tweaker, but a 50% hit is something I can't ignore - but I'll ask that on a Java list.

Re: Hacking into CFGrid
Check out this post on how to create a grid renderer for the CF8 Ajax Grid:
http://blog.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=924FD535-3048-71C2-1732C7C676604ABE
Don't forget, the underlying Ajax components are built upon Ext JS 1.1.
There is full API documentation available for 1.1 within the Learning

I've sucessfully used some sneaky CSS to at least get a right alignment

It would be really nice if I could also add something that will format

Yeah, I have to look at the two formats again (I think the attribute is queryFormat), but I personally like the default format over the standard format.

Re: Adobe's CF IDE, Bolt
Adam, My only issue with the Outline View is that sometimes it's broken. This isn't actually an issue with Outline View so much as some parsing issues of the current document. We've noticed that occasionally a line of code will be improperly parsed as having an error. This usually crops up with lines of code dealing with file or url paths (cflocation, cffile, cfhttp, etc) with some for of dynamic variable reference within the path string. The code is thoroughly valid, yet the parser shows an error, and the Outline View won't display at all. Again, not an extremely common issue, but very prevalent if your application makes a lot of these types of references.

Re: Cfwindow and lots of js files
ColdFusion's Ajax components are great for quick 'sauce', or rapid prototyping. That being said, since it's put together as 'do anything for anyone' implementation, you end up getting a ton you don't typically need, or at minimum an uncompressed, multi-file configuration. For true implementation you will typically be better off using the straight Ext JS library. The 'download' area of the Ext site allows you to build custom scripts, that only include the class objects you require for a specific implementation, and will show you the dependencies needed for specific objects. I would suggest taking this route.

SOT: CF conversion
OK, I need a little help. I was asked, a few months back, to co-author a
book on Learning ExtJS. When I wrote my chapters, one of them required
server-side code, which I (of course) wrote in CF. Unfortunately, the
rest of the book's server-side examples are written in PHP. They asked
me to convert, but I don't know PHP, so they had the primary author
handle the conversion.
Well, apparently the author has less knowledge of CF than I do of PHP.
I've never studied or written PHP, but it's obvious that his conversions
won't work with the examples, and are not one-for one. One of my primary
examples had a cfc method that used cfdirectory to return a query object
of a directory's contents. He turned around and wrote something that
queried a MySQL db. He also returned the value in JSON format.
Unfortunately, that format doesn't mirror the format that ColdFusion
uses, which is actually a requirement of this exercise, as this piece of
the chapter explains custom data readers, and the example is reading
JSON in this (the CF) format to populate a data store.
Is there a PHP library that does something similar to what CF does, in
returning a query object for a directory structure? Can you create PHP
'classes', with methods that can be called directly in an Ajax call?
Here's the CFC I was using in my examples:

That serverstore error is typically in creating additional CF instances with the Enterprise Manager without first adding instance folders within JRun/lib/wsconfig.

Re: form info to a cfc
This really depends on what it is you're trying to do. If it's an Ajax submission, you can change the returnFormat to 'plain', and in your CFC send back a formatted block. Your callback method would take the response, which you would write to something on your page. If you just have the cfc as the action attribute of a regular old form, that's a different story. You would really want to setup up a processor page, which would invoke your cfc, pass the FORM scope into a method as an argumentCollection, then do something from the response of the method.

SOT: Apache and Windows resources
Trying to setup some Alias paths, within Apache, exposing resources available on a Storage Area Network. These are primarily media type resources (site.com/images, site.com/media, etc.) When working with IIS, you set these up as Virtual Directories, and apply any user permissions within that directory's Properties. Access permissions are defined by a Domain Controller. So, the question is, how do you cover the same directory authorization within an Apache configuration? I've done Aliases to UNC resources in the past, but never had to worry about the DC authorization before. Anyone have an idea as to how this authorization is configured? -- Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313823 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Parse .html files with Coldfusion
If you made the change in the web.xml file then it would.

Re: remote proxy object security
Richard, We recently implemented a few webservices for our parent company. When doing these I took a multi-tier approach: 1) folder of service requires authentication (web server) 2) Application in folder required the request be made over SSL 3) Application took authentication credentials from server auth, and also verified against: a) List of authorized users b) DB check of authentication to system This applied a role to the authenticated user, for which certain services required specific roles for access as well. This is how we've handled this particular access. A lot of the data being returned from the service is also encrypted, providing another layer of security. Using Ajax for these services, you may also want to review this article from Ray Camden, http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/7/31/ColdFusion-8-Ajax-Security-Features.

Re: Upgrading CF8 to use ExtJS 2.2
You cannot upgrade the ExtJS library that is used by the CF8 Ajax components.

Re: (ot) Eclipse Question
You can write an ANT task to sync your folders. Something like:
sync todir=${server.target} includeEmptyDirs=true verbose=true
failonerror=false
fileset dir=${latest.comtemp}${today.date}
include name=**/*.cfm/
include name=**/*.cfc/
include name=**/*.xml/
include name=**/*.xsl/
include name=**/*.html/
include name=**/*.js/
include name=**/*.css/
include name=**/*.gif/
include name=**/*.GIF/
include name=**/*.JPG/
include name=**/*.jpg/
include name=**/*.txt/
include name=**/*.htm/
include name=**/*.pdf/
include name=**/*.htc/
include name=**/*.exe/
exclude name=**/*.project/
/fileset
/sync
I haven't written anything on this, though there are tons of resources
through Google. You may also find more details on Jim Priest's ANT Wiki

Re: (ot) URL Hack Attempt Leaves Me Scractching My Head...
Radek,
The point is, without the cfqueryparam it doesn't really get there. The
passed user_id isn't bound in the query, so the ;{everything else} get's
processed as additional SQL statements. When the value is bound, then
the ;{and everything else} would actually be passed into the field
(since it isn't being processed by your SQL server as a statement, just
a value), failing the field definition and throwing an error.

I will specify for ITEMOID in DB maxl = 15
Example QUERY is
SELECT location FROM item WHERE url.user_id = #url.user_id#

Now imagine the Hacker Code (Declare etc etc) will add to the end:
http://mydomain.com/index.cfm?user_id=125456;DECLARE
How can it be processed when USER_ID in database is specified for LENGHT 15
and USER_ID with Hacker code has lenght like 100?
I guess u gonna gonna say that's why u have to use :
SELECT location FROM item WHERE url.user_id = cfqueryparam
value=#url.user_id# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER
to validate it.
I undestand that, but why it is not validated already when in DB it is
specified lenght 15 and using this query:
SELECT location FROM item WHERE url.user_id = #url.user_id# it should work
and I have to use another validation in code using

Re: Code Cleaning Tool -Removing Tab characters
Will, You can't have tabs? In the deployment phase, or in development? It would be a shame to lose that formatting in the development phase, as that type of formatting (aside from being very standard practice) really does help with code readability. I would suggest you look at ANT for your task. We don't do it ourselves, but I've seen posts where people use SVNANT for code deployment, and let ANT remove all whitespace (tab, new line) from templates at that time. This helps them maintain code readability during the development phase, but helps to reduce bandwidth and storage space in the deployment phase.

Re: Coldfusion 8 install question
Qing brings up some very good points. You must treat each individual instance of CF as an individual server, and as such upgrades and changes to one will typically not be automatically applied to another. One advantage is that each instance also gets it's own JVM instance, but you must think about this in line with your JVM tuning as well. If your physical server only has 3 GB of RAM, and you're running two instances of CF, then you'll want to make sure that you don't try to allocate a full 1024 MB of memory to your JVM per instance, as you'll want a little more wiggle room for the OS to use. JRun JVM tuning is done directly in the Jrun4\bin\jvm.config, and it's arguments will apply to all JVM instances, unlike the thread tuning arguments you can control within each instance's jrun.xml.

Re: Upgrade CF 6.1 - CF 8
First, I would absolutely suggest a fresh install. Life is easier, and the install process is fairly quick and painless. We just did a datacenter migration project (which I'll detail in an upcoming blog post). We were running, for a number of reasons, 6.1, 7 and 8 concurrently. When we first looked at moving to 7 we loaded a test system with our codebase for testing. In our massive (4k+ template) system, the only changes we had to make were removing cfbreak tags from cfswitch/cfcase statements (where they weren't necessary to begin with), and some minor refactoring for the use of ExpandPath() in conjunction with cfmapping variables. The transition to 8 didn't require any code changes whatsoever, although we did replace all image.cfc and zip.cfc processing with the built in cf image handling and cfzip tags. (Side Note: Although cfbreak was unnecessary in cfswitch/cfcase statements, the break; statement is still necessary in switch/case blocks within cfscript.)

Hello folks: I am a newbie with CFEclilpse. I installed it about a week ago and so far, I am loving it. :-) Like most open-source product though, there is a dizzing array of help information online, but most of them are for advanced stuff, whereas I am only looking for tips to get me started. Would anyone recommend a good online resource for CFEclipse, please? For example, how on earth can I do an Extended Search like the one you are able to do in HomeSite+, by specifying a folder to search in?
