Re: Which NoSQL?
The biggest reason for breaking the existing convention is that it makes the thing a nightmare to maintain right now and has a lot of overhead. It's not an unacceptable level of overhead, but I feel changing its structure will improve it significantly. Though the point Maureen makes is a good one. I don't have access to SQL 12 yet (budgets in educational institutions being what they are), but I probably will after the first of the year so maybe I'll just put this project off till then and look at that feature to see if it meets my needs. Hi Kris, One thing to consider is the flexibility that SQL 12 has regarding XML data structures. You can store all kinds of things in it dynamically and retrieve that data, search on it, etc. Of course, it warps the minds of those of us brought up in the EF Codd approach to relational database theory, more than a little bit. But it does work well. That said, is there a reason a newer design wouldn't be able to follow the prior developer's precedent? --Ben ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357045 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Which NoSQL?
I realize I'm a little behind the curve on this. In my defense this is the first time since becoming a full time developer that I've dealt with data that didn't come from spreadsheets, so I've not really had a reason to look very far into NoSQL other than just far enough to understand what it was. I've played with Mongo a little on my personal web server (which runs PHP but not CF so that I can keep those skills fresh while I spend my days working with CF), but I've not had any serious projects involving unstructured data. The project I have now involves replacing an existing web app. Currently the application follows its initial design, circa 2003, well before it's original designer (my predecessor) had heard of NoSQL. The app works with data by creating new tables for each data structure it needs. After being in use for 10 years we have somewhere around 1000 tables. Clearly this is an app that begs for a NoSQL solution. Which brings me to my question. What's the best NoSQL database for use with ColdFusion? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357017 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Getting a datasource list
I have a small app I've been using for a number of years on my local machine's developer CF install to interface with my databases without having to remote to the SQL server. You wouldn't believe how much time it's saved me. Last week I upgraded this installation to CF10 to match what's on my production server (yeah, yeah, I should have upgraded both at the same time, I know). Anyway, the upgrade broke my app. Specifically, it can't pull a list of my data sources anymore. It seems the coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory java class I've always used to pull the list of datasources is no longer present in CF10. Google has failed me in finding an equivalent that does. Do any of you know how I can get this working again? For now I'm hardcoding the datasources I need into a select, but I really want to get back the functionality I had before. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355797 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Wierd error from bots
I just switched over from an old Application.cfm to a new Application.cfc a couple weeks ago.

It's always on line 35, which is: cfif isSimpleValue(evaluate(formelement)) AND refindNoCase(sqlregex,#Evaluate(formelement)#) formelement is the index of a loop through URL elements and sqlregex is a regex expression that matches SQL strings.

Re: HTML 5, has anyone done anything more than played with it
I've seen a couple of Javascript libraries that create support for the semantic tags (header, footer etc), but support for canvas, video and audio won't be mainstream unitl IE9 comes out (I'm not a M$ fanboy, but it is the most widely used browser). It won't even be mainstream then. There's still an awful lot of people out there running XP who won't be able to upgrade to IE9. Plus remember that at least 15% of web traffic (a hair over by my stats actually) is still on IE6. It's going to be years before IE9 peaks over the 50% mark, and that assumes that Firefox/Chrome/Opera haven't gotten to half market share by that point, which they may at the rate they're growing. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334206 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: cflayout accordion collapsed initially
Hi
I am using cflayout accordion with only one item which I want
collapsed on page load.
I've eventually put this code in:
body onload=ColdFusion.Layout.collapseAccordion('accordionLayout',
'panel01')
This works in FF and Chrome but NOT in IE8, which 1) does NOT open
collapsed and 2) gives a javascript error
Message: Exception thrown and not caught
Line: 90
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/package/cfajax.js
So my questions are
1. Is using the onLoad function the best way to have the accordion
closed on page load
2. How do I get it to work in IE? And with no errors?
Hope someone can help - this is driving me nuts
Ta
Seamus
I ran into this exact problem yesterday. I found that the only way to make it
work right was to use the CF ajaxonload function like so:
cfset
ajaxonload=ColdFusion.Layout.collapseAccordion('accordionLayout','panel01')
For some reason IE runs any onloads you define through javascript before it
gets the accordion loaded, as I found out when I added an alert to my function
to collapse an accordion. Annoying, yes? Anyway the ajaxonload function works
the way you'd expect it to.

Re: Coldfusion 9 Windows vs Linux
As others have said the big difference is that Linux is case sensative. I have a friend who switched her web server over to Debian from Windows several years back. Her husband is a massive Linux geek and handled setting it up for her so she had no learning curve with the switch but she did a lot of grumbling about having to rewrite a bunch of code because of the case sensativity. As for Linux itself it's a whole lot easier to make that switch these days than it used to be. There's still a learning curve but there are a whole lot more user friendly GUIs than what there were even just a couple years ago. In some distros you can get away with never looking at the shell if you really wanted to, but that's not recommended. The shell makes your life easier once you learn it even with all those spiffy GUIs. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333958 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
You guys are a bunch of whiners. I don't know if I'll buy ColdFusion Builder yet, but if I do...$300 is cheap, for any software. What do you guys want?! Free? How much work do you do for free? Don't buy it...fine, but don't whine about $300. $300 cheap for any software? What kind of Kool Aid have you been drinking? Don't get me wrong. ColdFusion Builder is a great IDE and I'll probably shell out the $300 for it (or get my company to buy it). The issue is that we're already shelling out at least $1200 to Adobe for a product that has free products as its chief competition. It would have been wise, given that price tag versus the price tag of PHP (or even Railo) to give us a free, or at least inexpensive, IDE. As is, I'm feeling shafted. I almost certainly won't use Flash Builder so I fell like I'm being forced to buy a $250 IDE that I won't use to get a $50 IDE that I will. That said, I'm on my way to my boss' office to ask if we've got the money in the budget for it now. Most likely it won't happen due to the budget cuts we're facing, and working for public schools certainly doesn't give me the kind of financial flexibility I'd need to buy a $300 IDE any time soon. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Set session variable via AJAX
I have a dropdown with an onchange that calls a CFC via cfajaxproxy and I'm
trying to set a session variable in that CFC. For some reason this session
variable isn't taking. Here's the code I'm working with (excess code removed):
cfajaxproxy cfc=components.Translate jsclassname=translate/
script type=text/javascript
function buildTrans(lang,n) {
var trans=new translate();
excess code removed
newString=trans.Translate(language, lang, data);
}
/script
And the function:
cffunction name=Translate access=remote returnFormat=JSON
cfargument name=SrcLang type=string required=true/
cfargument name=DestLang type=string required=true/
cfargument name=transString type=string required=true/
cfset session.language=arguments.DestLang/
Excess code removed
cfreturn returnString
/cffunction
This whole thing is intended to facilitate machine translation of our site. The
session variable in question is supposed to specify what language the user
wants so that they don't have to call the translation manually on each page.
The problem is that session.language isn't defined when I call another page. Is
there another way to do this?

Reading xls with Java HSSFWorkbook object
I'm trying to read a spreadsheet using the HSSFWorkbook object.
First off, I know that it would probably be better to save it to a csv first,
but some of the people this is going to be used by would probably loose their
minds if they tried to save into anything other than an xls from Excel.
Ironically, this extremely computer illiterate bunch are literacy teachers, but
I digress.
Anyway, here's the problem I have. I'm trying to run the sheet through loops to
read the whole thing. The problem is that when I try to call getRow or getCell
from within a loop with the loop index as the argument, it throws an error.
Specifically, it throws The selected method getRow was not found. Either there
are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the method
getRow is overloaded with arguments types that ColdFusion can't decipher
reliably. Since it works fine if I pass a number instead of a variable, I'm
assuming the method is overloaded. Frankly, I'm stuck. Here's my code (this is
just a test script, the final product will use the spreadsheet to populate a
database).
code
cfscript
infile=createObject('java','java.io.FileInputStream').init(D:\inetpub\wwwroot\non-live
code\test.xls);
fs=createObject('java','org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem').init(infile);
wb=createObject('java','org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook').init(fs);
sheet=wb.getSheetAt(0);
noRows=sheet.getLastRowNum();
