Clearing external IP access list in CF 8 Developer Edition
Hi, I have the developer edition of ColdFusion 8 installed which allows for two external machines (IPs) to access the server. CF apparently holds onto the first two external IPs that access the server and refuses any further external connections. Is anyone aware of a way to clear these IPs to allow a new machine to get into the IP access list? Thanks for reading. Eric P ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Running CF in English within Japanese language environment in Linux
Hi, I'm running ColdFusion 8 in a (normally) Japanese environment (LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8) in Linux. When I installed CF 8 a few months back I thought I had selected an English install, as I'd like CF to run in English. However, when I run CF, the CF admin and all debug output is in Japanese. I've tried the following approach (which works for most other apps I need to run in English): export LANG=en_US.utf8 /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion start But ColdFusion must be getting the environment language from somewhere else. Or possibly I did actually Japanese at install, and CF isn't robust enough to bounce back and forth between languages by switching the LANG var. Thanks for reading. Any ideas are appreciated!

Setting up CSV datasource in CF 8

Re: SQL injection attack on House of Fusion
We've also noticed these SQL injection attempts rear their head the last day or so; saw almost the exact same type of attack (I.e., same injection payload) back in April as well. The attack we're seeing is very (MS) SQL Server specific as they're trying to hit some SQL Server system tables and inject some HTML links in any fields that can hold text. We put in place a simple filter at the tops of our pages to cfabort any requests that contain T-SQL cruft in the URL/FORM vars (I.e., DECLARE, EXEC(, CAST(, etc.). We're also noticing some URL var snooping going on that may or may not be related to the above attacks. Basically an apostrophe is being tried at the end of known URL vars combinations. For example, we'll see three successive errant query strings come through like this. ?a=1'b=2c=3 ?a=1b=2'c=3 ?a=1b=2c=3' where they're trying the apostrophe at the end of each var trying to escape a potential var being use as an SQL string in the back end. IP address bounces around too much, so it's tough to monitor/ban. Something like fail2ban (www.fail2ban.org) may be useful for those running Unix/Linux servers.

Re: Returning a sequence of complex objects in web service in MX
On 6/19/07, Nathan Wells [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Assuming these are data objects with defined public properties, everything should just work, I think. If they're objects with methods instead of public properties, I've seen that work in some cases, but would not want to go so far as to say it should just work. How would the function definition in the CF look like though? Let's say we have a component defined in zip.cfc to represent a zip code that looks like this: cfcomponent cfproperty name=City type=string cfproperty name=State type=string cfproperty name=Zip type=string cfproperty name=Latitude type=numeric cfproperty name=Longitude type=numeric /cfcomponent Then we have a different component called zipInfo.cfc that lies in the same package as zip.cfc. The zipInfo component has a method that returns a zip object that looks like this: cffunction name=getZipInfo access=remote returntype=zip cfargument name=zip type=string required=true /cffunction Now let's say we want to add a function to the zipInfo component that would return an array of zip objects. I think the real question that Eric P is asking is, How would a function that returns an array of objects be defined? This doesn't work: cffunction name=zipCodesInCity access=remote returntype=zip[] cfargument name=City type=string required=true cfargument name=State type=string required=true ... /cffunction You could have the return type be defined as an array or even a query, but in both cases the fact that the returned data is a list of zip objects gets lost. Any web service client to this CFC would have no way of knowing the what the data structure being passed back actually was. Yeah, I'm curious how this would need to be defined in CF as well.

I've seen this quite a bit with open-source software. Everything goes great for a while then they slip up for a while. This happened to the PHP developers early in the v4 release cycle and they finally set up a security team to be in full charge of it - RoR needs to do likewise.

Also, I don't have any problems with Eclipse having a problem because single tags aren't closed. Is that poster using the CFEclipse module and perspective in Eclipse?

Hi, I'm having a problem with a verity collection that works for a while and then goes bad. The collection is indexed from a query. The query is ~3,500 records, 17 fields (half of which are varchar), and the 3 largest fields are varchar (500). After a while (not sure how long; hours to days), we get the following in our log: 'Error: Collection failed to open' I've tried deleting the collection and creating/indexing it from scratch, but I still have the same problem after a period w/o any issue. Other info. Running CF 5, 0, 0, 0 (Pro) The size of the collection file system is ~3.1 MB.
