Re: ColdFusion Consultant as a Java Consultant?
The person who is deciding on the platform will usually have their own biases. It's very difficult to persuade people to go away from their own favorite platform, but it is possible if you can make a case based on saving a lot of money on development costs, while also mitigating the perceived negatives of ColdFusion. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Dakota Burns" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 11:55 AM Subject: Re: ColdFusion Consultant as a Java Consultant? > Wow ... thanks for the enlightenment Dave.

Re: Totally inexplicable server crash
> How is your overall memory travelling?

We were on 32 bit Linux before.
Not sure what you mean by memory travelling - here are some stats from the
server monitor:
Total memory: 1.42 GB
Used memory: 900 - 1100 MB (up and down when garbage collection occurs)
Session scope: 1.175 MB
Application scope: 304K
Query cache: 20 MB
JVM: min and max heap sizes set to 1.512 GB
JVM
arguments: -server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../
-Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib
One thing I don't get - we used to use SeeFusion on our CF7 installation,
and the memory in use fluctuated at around 20% all the time. It seems like
now on CF8 we are consistently using 70-80% of the JVM allotment, but the
application hasn't changed at all.
When I look at the sawtooth pattern that is shown by the memory tracker, it
consistently goes up to 1.1 GB used and then drops down to about 800 MB used
when garbage collection occurs, but it never goes below 800 MB used.
I guess I'm not sure what is using up 700 MB of memory when we've only got ~
22 MB usage in the session/app scopes and cached queries. I know CF 8 has a
bigger footprint, but that much bigger?

Totally inexplicable server crash
A little history: we moved our ecommerce site to a new CF8 installation a couple of months ago. Prior to that, we had been on CF7 and never had any problems. Everything went smoothly during the move. It's on Linux, 64-Bit CF dedicated box. We have two servers, one for the db (MySQL 5) and one for CF/Apache. We average about 1 to 3 requests per second, around 500 concurrent sessions and our Session and Application scopes are very light. Last Saturday, during a time of not too heavy traffic, CF apparently crashed and any CF requests were returned with an Apache 503 error "Request timed out." There was nothing in any of the logs to indicate any problems prior to the crash: no error messages, no indication of any odd or heavy traffic before CF went down. We restarted the server and everything seemed fine. Again this morning, same thing -- sudden crash and any CF requests returned with a 503 error. Again we restarted the server and everything seems fine again. We have been running the Server Monitor, and I've seen mixed messages as to whether that might be related to the problem. Some folks seem to say "don't run it in production", others say it's ok to do that. Anyway, I'm just fishing for any leads or suggestions as to what we might need to look for so we can nip this issue in the bud. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312792 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

It depends on what you mean by "a lot". But, if you'd been hanging out on this list at all, you'd have heard of cfqueryparam. It's discussed quite often.

Re: MIVA
Oh gosh, run fast in the other direction. The company I'm with now was using Miva when I got here (this was a couple of years ago). It is written in a proprietary language which is specific to Miva. So unless you want to learn that language, you'll be dependent on using modules written by third party developers.

Re: Using jQuery to access the JSON that CF8 returns?
Your console.log output is showing a string. If you set the $.get parameter
dataType='json' or use $.getJSON, it will make this into an object whose
properties you can access. You should see an object in the console rather
than a string. I just had this issue the other day.

Re: CDN and Cookies
Mike, I did a test run about an hour ago. The cookies were handled fine, so I assume the CDN provider has their proxy servers set up to handle this, as you say. On the other hand, I found out they do not accept https requests. I had taken this to mean they would pass through https requests to the origin server for handling; however, the request simply is halted entirely and the page times out after a long wait. Not exactly a robust solution. So, a little rearchitecting on my part will be needed to account for that. FWIW, the company is called Velocix.

Re: CDN and Cookies
Mike, All the requests will be going through www.mysite.com and intercepted by the CDN via a cname directive. There are no requests from the end user to origin.mysite.com. The CDN then decides, based on the expires header, whether to go get fresh content from origin.mysite.com. It's called "reverse proxy acquisition". So, only cookies from www.mysite.com will be sent in the request, not cookies from origin.mysite.com. The dns will look like this: www.mysite.com CNAME www.CDNsite.com origin.mysite.com CNAME mysite.com As you say, only images and videos will be cached on the CDN, and all dynamic content will be fetched by the CDN from origin.mysite.com (no dynamic requests are cached). origin.mysite.com is where the sessions will be living as well. My question is, given that scenario, if I start a session on the site and then open up the cookies panel in Firefox, will the cookie folder say www.mysite.com or origin.mysite.com? There is no information on their site as regards sessions.

CDN and Cookies
Hello, We are set to start using a Content Delivery Network shortly. For those not familiar, the idea is that when someone requests www.mysite.com, the CDN intercepts that request, and either sends back cached content if it has it, or goes to origin.mysite.com to retrieve fresh content. Because of this, I believe I need to set setDomainCookies=true in Application.cfc so that the sessions are maintained whether the request is from origin.mysite.com or www.mysite.com. 1) Is this correct? I mean when the CDN sends the request to origin.mysite.com for fresh content, CF will try to set cookies for origin.mysite.com, yes? 2) If I do this change to setDomainCookies=true, will it kill all the current sessions on the server? -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310305 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Unknown JS error when doing AJAX.
Your bracketing looks fine.
Don't you have to do some kind of Active-X thingamabob for IE's xmlHttp
implementation, or do you have that in another part of the code?
Also, did you console.log the final url content to make sure it's what
you're expecting?
Finally, I don't think it's strictly required that you have a semicolon
after the below line of code but I'd put one there anyway, just to make sure
that's not the problem.
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=
function()
{
document.getElementById("character").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
}; <== semicolon there

Re: jsmx and progress bar
Richard, it sounds like you might be able to implement the process I mentioned. If you were able to determine a "baseline" processing time for a simple data set, you could use this to estimate the amount of time it would take for more complex data sets. You'd have to do a lot of testing to see how long different scenarios would take, and which things had what effect on the processing time. For example, if a certain variable exists it might take 10X as long as it would if that variable didn't exist. If you have a very complex processing task with many variables, this will be somewhat difficult...however, I think this would be your only option, as there isn't really a way (that I know of anyway) to pass back progress information from the server. Maybe you could try or something but I don't know if that could be captured by javascript, or what that would entail. And remember, even an estimated completion time is better than nothing at all, from the user's perspective. - Original Message - From: "Richard White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 12:25 PM Subject: Re: jsmx and progress bar > Hi Josh > > we are doing something very complex actually that has so many different > things that could effect the time it takes. > > jsmx only passes back information when it is done but if we could get it > to pass back at various stages in the cycle then it would be perfect > > we are generating a spreadsheet with data but the data needs to be > processed and formatted with sql and cf and based on many many different > scenarios. > > currently the user selects to generate a spreadsheet and it says > 'generating spreadsheet...' but if they have selected a large amount of > data then it could take some time so we need to provide them with feedback > on the progress > > this is the issue we have right now > > thanks > > > >>What sort of thing are you doing on the server exactly? >> >>I don't think you can really get the exact progress, but you can do sort >>of >>an estimation that is better than nothing. >> >>I do this when doing multiple inserts into a database that can be a bit >>slow.

Re: jsmx and progress bar
What sort of thing are you doing on the server exactly? I don't think you can really get the exact progress, but you can do sort of an estimation that is better than nothing. I do this when doing multiple inserts into a database that can be a bit slow. You do a test single insert via ajax, record the time it took, then use that time to calculate the total estimated time for all inserts, and use that total time to do the progress bar. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Richard White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 11:58 AM Subject: Re: jsmx and progress bar > for 'JSMX', it allows us to make calls to the server to do functions that > can return results. > > we want to show a progress bar while it is on the server running the > function to show the user how long it will be before the server returns > the result > > >>Progress bar for what?

That is more a function of the db. I know that by default, MySQL does not allow multiple sql statements. You have to change a setting to allow this.

Re: Why do I need getters/setters?
One word: encapsulation. The variables scope allows you to have instance data that is specific to a particular instantiation of an object. So does the "this" scope, but this is less preferred, as it makes the properties directly available outside the CFC. You cannot set or get the variables scope directly, so you need the getter and setter to do this. It sounds like maybe you are talking about singletons, where you only have one instance of an object. In this case you don't need getters and setters, since you are not setting instance data, other than perhaps a datasource name, which can be set the init method. In your example below with the LastName getter and setter, you might have a Person class which has those getters and setters. So you might do this: #person1.getLastName()#, #person2.getLastName()# -- outputs "Jones, Smith" Now, you might want to get fancy and "do something" with the last name, for example remove any commas so it won't break a cfmail. You can then do this in your getter: This will be done for all and any last names, and you never have to worry about it again. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Will Tomlinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 9:46 AM Subject: Why do I need getters/setters? > I'm just not understanding why I'd need a getter and a setter in my cfc. > > My app works just fine without setting anything in the variables scope of > my cfcs.

Re: Clarification Required Concerning CFC...
Rick - in the CFC function, variables.DSN refers to the variables scope within the CFC only. So, you are setting the variables.DSN value, in the instance of the object you're creating, to the value that is passed in as an argument, arguments.DSN. The variables scope within a CFC is local to that CFC, and cannot be accessed from outside it. Thus, any use of the variables scope from your calling page, will be entirely separate from any use of the variables scope within the CFC. This is why you have to pass in values to your CFC via arguments, so that the CFC variable values (the "object instance" values more specifically) can be set in the init function of the CFC. This is quite different than the use of cfinclude -- it's a whole different way of thinking about things so it takes a while to wrap your mind around it. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2008 9:44 AM Subject: Clarification Required Concerning CFC... > Hi, all... > > This statement in a CFC function confuses me: > > > > Why?

Re: null pointer? need your expertise!
Richard, I found this on the CF7 livedocs comments: == "Null Pointers are another name for undefined values." If this error is returned when trying to use the LIKE operator it is likely because there are NULL values in the column in question. Try the following variation: SELECT * FROM aQuery WHERE aField IS NOT NULL AND aField LIKE 'right_string_exp' The IS NOT NULL clause causes a NULL row to be discounted before the LIKE clause is executed. ===== -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Richard White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 3:39 PM Subject: Re: null pointer? need your expertise! > how do i get extra debugging information about the null pointers as just > saying it tried to reference a null value isnt helping me find what the > issue is? > > thanks > > richard > >> Hi, >> >> i am running the following query on query: >> >> > >> select * from query >> >> >> where #columnName# like '%,#queryListArray[fl2]#,%' >> >> or #columnName# like '%,#queryListArray[fl2]#,%' >> >> > >> >> >> if i output the sql for this it produces the text: >> >> select * from query where T_Site like '%,ICH,%' >> >> this is the correct statement but when i actually run the query on >> query then it just says the following error message: The system has >> attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a >> programming error, either in your code or some system code. >> Null Pointers are another name for undefined values. >> >> i have checked all the variables and they are defined: >> >> query = a query with 1032 rows and does have a column named T_Site >> columnName = 'T_Site' >> queryListArray = an array with 1 element with the contents 'ICH' in >> that element >> >> does anyone know what null pointer it is referring to. >> >> Thanks >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307874 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: (ot) javascript help
Quite a few issues there...
First off, you can generally use one or the other of "visibility" or
"display" properties. In your case you'd probably want to use "display"
since this will actually create or destroy the space that the br occupies.
Then, in makeNewEntry you'd want this one line:
document.getElementById('FTDTYPEe').style.display = 'block';
// since it is an id, you can reference it directly, independent of the form
Finally, you can remove the visibility property from the br:
That should get you where you need to be.

I'm right there with you Kay. People are afraid to admit they use DW because of the Eclipse gestapo. I find DW much easier to work with, and if/when I occasionally need to use the design view, it's very helpful. I've tried CFEclipse a few times, and it's nice for some things, but I end up coming back to DW.

Re: Problem with onSessionStart
>I would keep trying. onSessionStart works. Trust me. So something else > is going on instead and it makes sense to keep digging until you find > the issue. Yup. There are a couple things you mentioned which are not squaring up: - you said that you are setting setClientCookies to false, but then you said each time you close and reopen the browser, new CFID and CFTOKEN cookies are being set. How is that possible? I just did a test and these cookies are not set when setClientCookies is set to false. So, something is amiss there. - you asked about having to pass cftoken and cfid in the url as well as jsessionid. You might want to check the CF docs to see if that is necessary. You might want to try (in your development environment) setting setClientCookies to true, and then doing some more testing by clearing your CFID and CFTOKEN cookies and reloading your site. This should always give you a fresh session and run onSessionStart. Once you have that working, go back to settings setClientCookies to false and pass the CFID and CFTOKEN in the url. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:24 PM Subject: Re: Problem with onSessionStart >I would keep trying. onSessionStart works.

Are you in a situation where you can't use cookies? If so you'll need to pass the cfid and cftoken in the url string on every request to maintain a session.

The session is probably still active. You need to delete your cftoken and

You can access the form field name by either looping over the form as a
collection, or looping over the property FIELDNAMES. Here is what the
former might look like:

I guess you'd have to consider how you'd handle updating existing records. Would you expose the primary key ID (or UID if you're using that) in the xls file? I'd think you would have to. Then there'd be the possiblity that they'd change that ID data inadvertently, and so violate the data integrity. If you're talking about just dumping the table, and then on import clearing the table and just using the edited xls file as the new data, that could really be a nightmare. Also, if they add a column or something, and you were using a cfhttp call to turn the xls file into a query, the import would fail. Sounds like there are a lot of challenges involved. Maybe you could create a multi-row edit form for them instead, that would mimic what they want to do with the spreadsheet. I've done something like this in javascript using jQuery and a plugin called jEditable that creates an Excel-like environment. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304108 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Some JS help please
Does using rather than a regular select change the id value
somehow? The error you're getting would indicate that the element with id
"Site_ID" is not found. You might want to use Firefox/Firebug and use
"Inspect" to make sure the id is what you think it is.

Rick, Why not create a session variable to hold the search parameters? Then if the form is re-submitted, i.e. the search parameters are changed, you can re-assign the new form values to the session variables.

Is task manager correct?
Ok, i'll first start off by saying thank you to all of the previous people who have given information on here about JRUN and the memory issues; you have kept me partly sane past few weeks. I'm a bit new to coldfusion but not to computers in general and my company is having a bit of a problem, or so i think... We are running Coldfusion 8 on a Win2003 server with 3 servers running in multiserver mode. The web sites that they host are small and nothing flashy but mainly used for transfering and receiving mass amounts of numbers and figures. One of the servers had almost all of the traffic and other two very few clients on them. Basically what we were seeing (on only the heavy loaded server) is the memory for JRUN.exe going up throughout the day and never ever going back down. Eventually the pages would lock up and we had to just restart jrun and everything was fine. Since then, I've been searching the google-web in search for some fixes, we've tried thread dumps to try and pinpoint when the problem was occuring and what was causing it, but all i could get is JRUN was running. So i've spread out the load a bit moving a handful of my heavily used sites to the other two servers. Since i've done that there have been no freezes in the pages or errors on the sites. My concern however is the fact that on the task manager my JRUN will still climb steadily throughout the day on the main heavy server. For example yesterday it started out around 200k and by the time i left it was around 850k memory used. Just to be safe i restarted JRUN before i left. In the server monitor my graphs look ok no real high peaks and i can see where garbage collection is bringing everything back down. SO after all that i ask my question. Should i trust my taskmanager or the graphs in coldfusion server monitor? My other two servers all stay at 280-310k memory usage and we've never gotten this error on them.

Re: Weird
> Yeh, causing chaos and destruction to all who use the usefulness that such > ambiguity offers! I just didn't realise that cgi was included in that lot. >From the CF7 docs: "If you use a variable name without a scope prefix, ColdFusion checks the scopes in the following order to find the variable: 1.. Function local (UDFs and CFCs only) 2.. Arguments 3.. Variables (local scope) 4.. CGI 5.. Cffile 6.. URL 7.. Form 8.. Cookie 9..

When confronted with an unscoped variable, CF will check the variables scope first I think, then search through the other scopes in a predetermined order - there's more information about it in the docs. Someone will probably post the exact scope order. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:302191 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Date Range Search Problem - when it's integers stored and not dates
> I'd been trying to come up with a way to do this, but the columns with a > "0" in them are throwing me off, since "0" isn't a valid date value. You could use CASE or IF to fill in dummy values for those zeroes, but then, if you substituted 1 (January) for the month for example, it wouldn't be found in a date range search from Feb - April for example. If a record only has the year entered, for example 2007, I suppose you'd want to return it for any search that had 2007 in the date range. So maybe you could do a conditional check for that in the subquery, and then return any of those records that match the year -- something like CASE WHEN day = 0 and month = 0 and year <> 0 then 'true' else 'false' END AS 'matchonlyyear' Then maybe do a query of queries or something to check for those "year only" records.

You might be able to join the table to itself in a query, and on that join concat your date integers into actual date values. Something like... SELECT whatever FROM thetable t INNER JOIN ( SELECT id, CONCAT(yearcol,'/',monthcol,'/',daycol) AS gooddate FROM thetable ) gooddates ON t.id = gooddates.id WHERE gooddates.gooddate BETWEEN datea AND dateb The idea being to parse the separate date columns into usable dates in the subquery, and then join that to the superquery as needed. That syntax may or may not work in your db, the example above would be for MySQL. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Les Mizzell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 4:06 PM Subject: Date Range Search Problem - when it's integers stored and not dates > I've got a database in which dates are stored as integers in three > separate columns as: day|month|year > > This was done because the client wished to create records that could > contain only a year, or just a year and month, or year, month, and day, > or no date at all.

Re: Seeking Spreadsheet App Simulation in CF

Rick - I have used a jQuery plugin called "jEditable" to achieve something like this. Basically it allows you to click on a div or table cell, and it turns it into an input field. Then when you enter data and hit return, it executes a callback function (which can be an ajax call to update your db if you like) and changes the input field back into whatever it was before, and displays the value that was entered inserted into the cell or div. I suppose if you wanted to get real fancy, you could style your inputs so that it wasn't even noticeable to the end user that it had changed into an input field. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301925 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

RE: query help
I think you've made a bit of an error there. With inner joins, the query returns no results. This is what I expected. Using a left outer join also returns no rows. This makes sense as you're maintaining the rows from the wrong table. Changing it to a right outer join creates a cross dependency error. The user table has all of the users. The doc table has all of the docs. The user_doc table has one entry for each time a user has signed off on having read a document. A row is inserted with the user id and the doc id. What I'm trying to return is the users who have not signed off on viewing one or more documents and the documents on which they've failed to sign off.

re: query help
I'm really looking for a solution with only one query using joins. It should be possible to do this with a couple of joins. This query, suggested by Steve, would work well if the tables remained small: SELECT user_id,user_name,doc_id,doc_name FROM USERS,DOCS WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT signoff_id FROM USER_DOCS WHERE user_id = USERS.user_id AND doc_id = DOCS.doc_id) In large tables, though, I don't think it's going to be a very good solution. It seems like something along the lines of this should work: select u.user_name, d.doc_name from docs d left join( users u left join user_docs ud on u.user_id = ud.user_id ) where ud.user_id is null Actually, I just tried that and it does work on my test db, which is mysql. Strangely enough, I tried it on the production db which is SQL Server (tables are different, but relationships are the same) and it doesn't work.

Each scheduled task has a "timeout" setting so you can enter a big value there. I'm not sure how that's handled on a shared server though, if that's your environment.

I wasn't aware that the default behavior of gzip was to delete the file being compressed and write the compressed file automatically, thus making the outputfile attribute unnecessary. Probably what was happening was a threading/race condition issue of some sort, where sometimes the outputfile attribute was overwriting the compressed file and sometimes not. Thanks a bunch, I probably never would have figured that out. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299138 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
A little CFEXECUTE help
Hey all, I'm trying to do a little CFEXECUTE magic on a Linux box, gzipping an xml file on the fly. All is well except that the resulting file is occasionally empty. It seems to work about 50% of the time, then the other 50% I get an empty .gz file. My code looks like this: The paths are all correct -- as I mentioned it does work about half the time so there are no path or permission issues. I also tried adding in the arguments -f (force) and -q (quiet), but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Re: Alert component
You could load the user's reminder data into the client either by outputting directly into javascript, or via an ajax call...then set up a timer using setInterval that runs every minute or so to check the client time against their reminder times.

I don't have any good answers as to why the owners of CF haven't done some of the obvious things that would improve its adoption, other than that they haven't been "forced" to do so. With Macromedia and now Adobe, their success as a whole is not dependent on the success of CF, so I imagine they focus their marketing efforts on their more popular product lines. There are only so many person-hours to go around, and I imagine that any product line that is profitable with essentially zero marketing effort is not going to have additional person-hours assigned to it. This is probably much less frustrating for Adobe than it is for us developers. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298450 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

All the evidence we can gather points to the fact that Allaire, Macromedia and now Adobe are profitable with the ColdFusion pricing model exactly as it stands. So, there's very little motivation to address their marketing approach. If they were losing money on ColdFusion, I think you'd see them either doing more marketing, or dropping the product line entirely. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298446 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CFC, YES OR NO

One good reason is you can cache the CFC in the Application scope (as long as it is a "singleton"), so it's always in RAM thus the performance is better, and then you can do Application.mycfc.mymethod() which is handy. -- Josh ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298393 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
