Remote COM+
Hi All, Does anyone have some example code to call and instantiate a COM+ component residing on a different Win 2k3 machine? I've made several attempts but just get an exception saying An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. Any help would be much appreciated.

Flash Error Handling
All,
I'm just implementing a Flash Remoting system and I'm encountering a
strange problem with exception handling. Basically, I want to be able to
cfthrow and error and the flash application to pick that up and handle
it. I have a fault handler in Flash which successfully detects there is
an exception and calls the code within. The problem is the error that is
detected is not the message I have thrown, its an exception cannot
convert the value of type class coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy to a
Boolean
Here is my flash handler code:
function gotCategories_Fault(fault:FaultEvent):Void
{
trace(Categories Fault: + fault.fault.faultstring);
}
Anyone else experienced this or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Gavin

Weird Flash Remoting Problem and Solution
All, I experienced a strange issue with Flash MX 2004 Pro and CFMX7. When calling functions through the gateway with flash, it appeared that the gateway was being cached. This meant that function names could not change and new functions added would not be available to Flash. A Service Invocation error was experienced on the CF server when calling them. I tried restarting both the CF server and flash, hotfixes, updater, etc and still the problem was there. Eventually I investigated the gateway configuration on the CF server. This is a standard install, with everything at default (except caching CFC's). The solution was to change the \WEB-INF\gateway-config.xml file on the CF server. Near the top there is a section called Service-Adapters. I simply uncommented all relating to Flash there and restarted CF. The Flash SWF is now calling them correctly. As how this fixed, I'm not sure. Maybe someone has an idea out there??? Just thought I'd post this info in case anyone else experienced this strange problem.

Securing Flash Gateways
Hi All, I'm currently designing an application that will utilise a Flash frontend and talk to a CFMX7 Flash gateway for performing business logic. This connection needs to be secure and the users authenticated via the business objects. I am familiar with how to perform the authentication and I've read a few articles on security. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or experiences with securing this process both at the application and request levels. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Ideas - Your Help Needed
Hi All, I've got a little bit of a problem and I hope that you guys would be able to give me advice or shed a little light on a situation I have The Setup 1xApplication Server - Windows 2003 Web Edition - CFMX 6.1 Standard, all patches 1xDatabase Server - Windows 2003 Standard Edition - SQL Server 2000 SP3a This setup is running an application that our company wrote to store data relating people. This information is entered through a dynamic form which is configured through an admin interface. The whole application has been developed using Mach-II. The system has been live for a year now and was thouroughly tested by all parties before go live. There have been a couple of bugs since, but the code has been unchanged and stable for at 8months now. The problem is this. We have been getting reports of data corruption on a very small number of forms. I have investigated this corruption. The system logs who made what changes to the system to provide an audit trail for each form. The audit trail shows users have made the corrupt changes to the form and I presented this to the client. They will not accept this response. I'll give you an example, a name had been changed from one to another. I checked the live database and a backup and they both show that a user changed the name. The user insists that he did not change the name. I cannot see in light of this evidence and problem with my code or the system. My question to the forum is basically, is there anything I'm missing? Sorry for the longwinded explanation, but I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall! Any ideas you might will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Ideas - Your Help Needed
The session is only used to store the details of the user who has logged in. Everything is through the forms. Even manipulating the form would show up in the audit log. As an update, I've now added logging to log everything being sent to the server, so we can effectively track every mouse click. All the evidence points to user error, so hopefully when confronted with the extensive logs, it will carry more weight.

Sharing Application Sessions
Hi All, I'm trying to create a single sign on system for several of my CFMX apps. They all utilise the same security model and security objects, so I figure there must be a way to allow me to log into 1 app, and switch to the others without being prompted to login. This isn't currently a clustered environment, but will move to that at some point. Has anybody implemented anything similar to this? The login details are held in the users session, so I guess there must be an easy way to tell CF to use an alternate session, or transfer it, to the other app. Any ideas??

SOT: Garbage Data Detection/Prevention
Hi All, I've got a CF/SQL Server 2k application that serves several hundred users and is designed to store large amounts of data. I have built in many checks and restrictions into the application to prevent incorrect data being inserted. But there is a proportion of users who are circumventing these restrictions by entering garbage data. For instance, where a name is required, they would enter jdsl. There is only so far I can go to do checks as data is input, so I need to concentrate on user education by finding the culprits. There is full auditing of the data and to this end, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on ways to find garbage data, or other steps I could take to prevent it. Most of the data in the system is fine, so I was thinking maybe somehow comparing data with other examples of correct info to root out the garbage. I'm just not sure how! Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Write large amount of data to text..
Just a suggestion, but could you not just use Oracle to write the text file out? As you already format the text with SQL, this would bypass going to ColdFusion altogether and streamline the process. Gavin -Original Message- From: Greg Morphis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 November 2004 17:56 To: CF-Talk Subject: Write large amount of data to text.. I have a application that writes loads of data to a text file. I use SQL to format the text as I pull the data from the DB. But my problem is that this is loading 11,000+ rows into a text file. I believe this is timing out. I was wondering if there is a better way of putting this into a file than cfsavecontent variable=ecount_file cfloop query=fetchReferrals cfoutput#record_data#/cfoutput /cfloop /cfsavecontent cffile action=WRITE file=#g_EcountFileDirectory#\#eCountFilename# output=#ecount_header##ecount_file##ecount_footer# addnewline=Yes The query takes only around 20 seconds to process but the page is still loading after 15 minutes.

RE: Primary Key Justification
Personally I use an individual primary key myself. In the past I have seen oracle databases with two fields as the primary key, but never a whole record. The only justification I can see for having the whole record as the primary key is to save space. Adding an extra column to store a primary key requires the space to store it and the storage for the sequence. On modern servers storage is not usually a problem, particularly with such a small field. On older mainframes, it was. One major justification for a single primary key is replication. If you have multiple fields as a primary key, on a replicated system, there is a higher chance that the same values will appear. It will at least cause more headaches and more setting up initially. Gavin -Original Message- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 November 2004 14:01 To: CF-Talk Subject: Primary Key Justification I'm well aware of the need for a primary key, in addition to a sound table design, however, I'd like someone else to word a response for me. A co-worker built a data file (a data table on an AS400) with six fields. The only unique key of the record is the entire record, itself. The combination of all six fields must be used to identify the exact record. This is how it's done, is the reply I get. (I've been building web-based apps using relational DBs for 8 years. I have never used an entire record as the primary key.) I'm not passing an entire record through a URL or in hidden form fields. Imagine the nightmare of maintaining this application... A discussion of the existence of Oracle's sequences and SQL's identity fields did little to sway this person's opinion. This person's entire development background is AS400 with a history of bad database design. Now, I'm creating the table myself to do it right. ;-) Any thoughts?

RE: AOL and spam filtering
I've recently had to go through the whole AOL white listing process. Our mail server was experiencing a temporary block at AOL's mail servers. I phoned AOL and they explained that this temporary block was due to the fact that a certain percentage of the mail we were sending was being reported as spam. They weren't sure of the exact threshold to trigger this block, and were cagey as to the reporting spam process. I went through the white list application, which was relatively painless. Your emails must conform to their standards, which basically means putting contact details on them, and clear instructions on how to be remove from the list. There also needs to be a reverse DNS entry for the mail server. To be sure of acceptance we made our newsletter conform to all of the requirements exactly and we were added to the white list. Part of this process is being added to a list which returns emails that have been reported as spam. Even with the white list status, I get around 5-10% reported as spam. We've even had end users complain that they've signed up for the email and haven't received it. I'm not sure how exactly the default spam setup on AOL works as these bounced emails seem to be random, as opposed to the same user bouncing the email back. We've got a list of around 50,000 subscribers to our newsletter, and the only trouble we have is with AOL. Our newsletter is written exactly as AOL requires, yet still some are being bounced back as spam from users, and they complain about not receiving them. You would think conforming to their standards meant that their default spam settings wouldn't reject your emails!

RE: Naïve Dual Processor Question
One thing to bear in mind is that upgrading to dual processors may affect software licences. For instance, SQL Server 2000 can be licensed on a per processor basis. It might be worth checking licences for software on the box prior to adding a second processor. With regards to that, if licences are fine, I'd recommend it. I added a second processor cheaply and I ended up with a dual P3 933 setup for a while, and it was pretty fast for all the applications I was building. Adding a second processor will improve performance, particularly if you've got a DB on there that makes use of them both, like SQL server. I was running Win2k, CFMX, SQL Server 2k on the one machine and I found a significant improvement across the board.

RE: application testing
I've recently evaluated the following packages to load test our application. Our main objectives were to choose something that allowed us to load and functionally test our CF, and Java, apps with an emphasis on low cost. Segue SilkPerformer Empirix E-Test OpenSTA Here's a very brief summary of what I found: SilkPerformer - very flexible package that requires some programming knowledge to alter the generated scripts. The main drawback for us was the cost, as it can run into several thousand pounds. This does have excellent analysis routines which makes getting some sense out of the resulting data very easy. I've used this at other companies in the past. E-Test Suite - this was my favourite. Very quick and easy to use. Setting up dynamic elements in the scripts could be easily accomplished. We had to create thousands of unique data elements to fully test our application and this allowed us to query an existing database and re-use those elements in the load testing. The cost can be less than SilkPerformer. OpenSTA - This is an open source package and consequently free. It did the job although the interface was a little rough around the edges. The results were also very rough. By rough I mean it was very difficult to actually interpret what they mean. There was only a few set graphs and these didn't make much sense on their own. On the plus side it did have a good concept whereby reusable objects are defined. For instance, you have to create probes to monitor certain elements and then create scripts. These were then combined to create test suites. I know this is only very brief and biased towards cost, but hopefully you'll find it useful. Incidentally, Empirix offered me an online session with one of their representatives to demonstrate the product. This proved very useful as I had some experience of testing with SilkPerformer.

RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article
I've been following this thread and I wanted to share my thoughts... I've been developing for many years now and I'm a firm believer in using the right technology for the right job. Arguing about whether to use a Macromedia supplied tag or to write something in Java is a personal choice. If the Macromedia supplied tags will do the job and do it well, then that maybe that's the best route. If more advanced functionality is needed then then maybe Java, or other appropriate technology. Choosing the right technology depends on a number of factors, including available resources, money, time, skills,etc. Macromedia, New Atlanta, etc are in business to make money. The best way to do that is to sell products to as many people as possible. To do that these products have to appeal to as many people as possible. I agree with Doug. Macromedia, by building in higher level, easier to use features, they appeal to more high-end users. It should also be bore in mind that one of the key features of Blackstone is that there will be something for everyone. From the advanced developer who's been using ColdFusion or Java for years, down to the beginner who's just started writing applications. Personally I'm looking forward to trying Blackstone out. There's so many things I'd like to try, and from the very brief details around I can think of several uses for the features that have been mentioned. As to whether they will fit in with my applications, that will be seen when the full documentation or product is ready for testing.

As for BD, I think the perception is that MM is mainly targeting the high end user, while the low end and middle is where most of us operate.For this area BD fills a vacant spot.. It does have most of the functionality we use from day to day, but it is not the end-all Of course, we all realize that not all web sites are requiring rich media, flash glitz, etc, and, in fact are much simpler in concept and layout.Of course, CSS is being more widely used, and that alone helps a lot with load times, and site appearance without having to copy and pase duplicate code all over the place. CSS makes it easier to completely change the appearance of a site making it very useful in development of multiople sites whose layout may be similar but still have an individually desinged look and feel. Many of the higher priority items which are so often overlooked is the ease of use, user friendly navigation throughout the site.When every site you visit have a different concept of navigation, use of popups, popunders, etc, seems to turn a lot of visitors off and shortens both their visit time but their visit frequency. I personally have much admiraton for the develoeprs who do the sites for music and artistic sites, because just like with their live performances flashy and glitzy is what it is all about.On the other hand, many web sites, just by their nature can be actually harmed by the addition of complicated flash, and weird navigation schemes, and even more admiration must be given tothe developer who can tell the difference and use it in theor approach to marketing their skills. == Our Anti-spam solution works!! http://www.clickdoug.com/mailfilter.cfm For hosting solutions http://www.clickdoug.com http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/isp.cfm?isp_id=1069 == - Original Message - From: Micha Schopman To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 8:10 AM Subject: RE: BLACKSTONE: Software Development Times Article Personally, the moment BlueDragon came out I thought.. those guys actually give us what the community always wanted.

RE: SQL Server admin/tuning
A free eBook I found quite useful can be found at http://www.realtimepublishers.com/ It's called The Definitive Guide to SQL Server Performance and Optimisation. It covers a lot of tuning aspects, including monitoring the server itself. Very useful stuff. -Original Message- From: Scott Mulholland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 August 2004 13:32 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: SQL Server admin/tuning I was looking for a recommendation on a book that would give one a basis or better understanding of SQL server admin/performance tuning. I'm looking for a book that would be useful to someone with a working knowledge of SQL server from the queries/stored procedures/DTS package/table/db design standpoint, but looking to gain some more knowledge on the maintenance and admin of the server itself.Only admin type functions I have done are some scripts to truncate logs. Any recommendations? Thanks, Scott --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

MX Performance Data
Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a way I can reset the performance data for ColdFusion MX 6.1? Not sure if there is an internal mechanism or it or if I need to call an external object. Any ideas?? Thanks [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Quick Address/Postcode Lookup
I've integrated Allies PostCoder pro into our application. For this there was a COM object supplied with the package which I wrote a CFC wrapper for. This was then integrated into my Mach-II application. It took a few phone calls to the developers at Allies to get the relevant methods for the object. I also added a couple of my own functions to calculate distances, etc. I've not used QAS, but I guess there must be a COM object or something that could be leveraged.

RE: trim numbers
If you know roughly the maximum price to be displayed you could use: NumberFormat(number,999,999,999) for 1 million dollars -Original Message- From: Duane Boudreau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 August 2004 17:25 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: trim numbers I usually use the following: replace(dollarformat(number), .00, , All) hope this helps Duane _ From: Robert Orlini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 12:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: trim numbers I need to trim numbers from a price. For example, I want the price displayed as $120 not $120.00 as it is now. Is the code for this using LTRIM? I need it to count how many characters then trim the last three so that $50.00 would look like $50 the same as $120.00 would look like $120.
