Yes, indeed.  You want something like this:

keyword = "star";
myString = "The dog sniffed at the starfish and growled"; regEx = "\b" & 
keyword & "\b"; if (reFindNoCase(regEx, myString)) {
 writeOutput("found it");
} else {
 writeOutput("did not find it");
}

matching a whole word

[Nathan C. Smith]

If I want to scan a string to match only a whole word should I be looking at 
regular expressions?  I want to scan a string like 

"The dog sniffed at the starfish and growled"

And if I scan for "star" not match "starfish".

Are regular expressions the most effective way to do that?

Thank you.

Don't forget about case-sensitivity of filenames.  Especially on includes and

I'm not actually looking for an interface to twitter, I'm looking for a

Thanks though, this may have other uses.

Small scale Twitter Clone for CF?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I know somebody is working on an identi.ca type software in CF but I wondered 
if anyone had a smaller-scale twitter-like application.  I'm not looking for 
super-fancy APIs or the ability to federate sites.  This would be something 
used experimentally on an intranet for now.

Thanks for any pointers.

RE: cfdocument pdf generation

[Nathan C. Smith]

If it is possible to do what you want to do in cfreport you might want to look 
into that.  I remember a thread a year or two ago where somebody switched from 
raw CF to cfreport and was blown away by the speed difference.

RE: MS Index Server and CF

[Nathan C. Smith]

There is/was an OLE provider for Index Server.  I had it working with 
ColdFusion once, but then the architecture of CF changed (it must have been in 
the CF 4.0 or 5.0 timeframe) and OLE Data sources were no longer supported or 
were not easily accessed.

Hopefully somebody else can share more.

Mail list manager recommendations

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'm looking for a relatively simple mailing list manager or newsletter-type
system.  This would be for an outbound only newsletter-style list.  I'd like
to find something with a double opt-in option (invitees have to click a link
in order to approve their subscription).  And a link to unsubscribe from the
list.

I saw some good looking Php stuff but I was really hoping to find something
based on ColdFusion.  I prefer FOSS but reasonable licenses are fine too.

Thanks for any pointers.

Bingo, I should have been using cfimage to read the file!

Thanks Dave!  BTW, the SQL you fixed works the same with the VarBinary(MAX)

Now if they can just get that image bug fixed...  Resizing my images is
causing a page timout.

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

Are you using CF8? what SQL data type is the column you are inserting into
and what does the SQL query look like?

I was hoping to avoid the tired old in-DB v. Out-of-DB conversation.  These
are small pictures and fewer than 100 so it shouldn't be a big deal.

insert/retrieve image into database SQL Server 2005/CF8?

[Nathan C. Smith]

Hi,

I'm trying to insert an Image into MS SQL Server 2005 database using CF 8.
I started to work with the SQL Server 'Image' data type but I'm not sure
this data type is the best/correct choice.

Somebody has probably done this before, so what data-type should/could I use
in SQL Server - The choices include Image, binary, varbinary, and
varbinary(max).  Should I be using the new image tags or resorting to older
methods to achieve the path of least resistance?

Here is a sample of what I am working on, here I am just trying to read a
file and place it in the database




Update tblStaff
Set staffphoto = 
Where StaffID = #staffID#;




I'm getting 
"The source file should contain an extension, so that ColdFusion can
determine the image format.  Verify your inputs. The source file should
contain an extension, so that ColdFusion can determine the image format." 
as an error.  It isn't clear, at least to me, where I can be more specific
about setting the image format - is this an error from SQL server?  The
manual says "If you do not specify a source image, an "unknown source image
format" error is generated", am I not pointing to my variable correctly?
The examples in the manual show an insert statement and I am trying to do an
update, is my query syntax messed up?

My next question is obviously about getting the images out of the DB, so if
there are any tricks to that, please feel free to elaborate.

Many thanks,

-Nate

cfimage - read, resize, write to browser & resize options

[Nathan C. Smith]

I ran into a cfimage behavior that was not quite what I expected, perhaps it
will be more obvious to others.
I wanted to resize an image.  I wanted to use cfimage to read the image,
resize it, and write it to the browser without saving it back to disk.

The resize action is what had me stumped for a bit.  I was expecting to be
able to resize the image "in place".  I tried some code like below:






It Turns out that resize always needs a place defined to put the output,
either the name of a variable(NAME), or a file location(DESTINATION), even
if it is the same as the source.  I ended up using it like this because I
didn't know if there would be issues writing it back to the same variable
name I was using as a source.






I just wanted to share this for a couple reasons: in case a like-minded
individual runs into it and to ask if there /could/ be issues writing back
to the same variable name during a resize.

Thanks.

cfmenu is rendering under other page content

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'm having a problem where cfmenu and related menu items are rendering
beneath other content on the page.  Both pictures and images.  What kind of
things should I be looking for as a cause for this?  I don't have any styles
specified for cfmenu or cfmenuitems.

I'm using some simple css to style the content but nothing crazy with
layers.  At least nothing intentional.

Thanks for tips and pointers.  Has anyone else run into this?

If I work backwards and read a feed into cffeed there is a "linkhref" in the
guid struct.  I'm pretty sure I tried that one going the other direction
though.

Gave those a try.  Cfdump shows the values are making it into the struct,
but something goes wrong in cffeed.

The error: "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 assume that means that the name of the vlue they expect is empty and
different from the one I have given them.

I tried url, href, permalink, link, guid, value and among others.

Cffeed - creating RSS Feeds and guid

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'm trying to use cffeed in ColdFusion 8 to create an RSS 2.0 feed.  I
basically lifted the example from the docs.I'm running into problems
with the guid field.  I used Feed validator to check what I had
(http://feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/MissingGuid.html) and it told me I
was missing a GUID field.  

I added the field in my code:


And CF told me it had to be a struct.  So if I create a new struct for guid,
what do I use as names to refer to the fields?  I don't think it is clear in
the docs.  Can someone correct me?

I'm not entirely comfortable with structures so if I'm being daft please
point that out gently.  Thanks.

There might be some stuff in a coldfusion wiki you could borrow.  Although

Verity spidering

[Nathan C. Smith]

CFMX7 

I have a real hodge-podge of links on our intranet index page.  Some of them
are FQDN URLs and some are relative links.  When using vspider.exe it seems
to skip the FQDN URLs.  When I tried to use the FQDN instead of localhost
for indexing it gave me a message about being licensed for local searching
only.

Do I need to rework all my Intranet links to relative links to use vspider?
Is there way to educate vspider about different names for the localhost?

I found a few pages on vspider on macromedia and on a blog, but if somebody
knows of a super definitive (tricks and traps) vspider page feel free to
send me there.

Many Thanks!

Some Lessons Learned - the hard way of course

[Nathan C. Smith]

For those of us in 

* Do not use 'client' as the name of a variable.  Try to avoid the word
'client' as a database field name - alias it if you have to.  Client is a
Coldfusion Variable scope and can cause strangeness when used as a variable.

* valuelist() and quotedvaluelist() can save you from doing a lot of stupid
lists and concatenation.  You can immediately get a list (and a string) of
the elements of a column in a query using these two handy functions.
PreserveSingleQuotes is helpful in league with quotedvaluelist to prevent
single quotes from being stripped.

* Learning a language is easy, mastering one takes time.

RE: moving from CF 4.5 to 7.0

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'm in the process of doing this now.  And 4.0 to 6.1 before that - on
another box.  For the most part the update is going well.  I have a few
niggling details with how variables are referenced, but that has been the
biggest issue to date.

The "code-scanner"  in the administrator can be helpful but it will not
catch everything.

It will probably depend a lot on how many less obscure features you use too
- if any.  The one that reads and writes windows registry is the one that
comes to mind.

Referring to a specific field in a query

[Nathan C. Smith]

Hi All,

I have two queries that have some overlapping names that I am using in a
cfoutput together (CF MX7)

#QueryName.field usually seems to do the trick, but if I wanted to be really
specific, is there something like 

Queries.queryname.tablename.field 

In order to refer very specifically to a field.  It becomes a bit confusing
using a fieldname from one query as a variable in another query.  (normally
I try to let the database do the work, but this database is Access and the
fields are a little convoluted).  I realize I could rename the fields in the
query if I need to.

Thanks.

ColdFusion News Aggregators

[Nathan C. Smith]

Are there any free/low cost news aggregators/readers for ColdFusion?

I would like to put something on our intranet that would let people read

Searching, I found mention of some aggregators, but most of them seem to be
sites and not software.

Thanks.

imatterno, left(imatterno,6) as thisImatterno, patentno,issue,status
FROM qryPatents

would be grateful.  Especially if I am overlooking something obvious.
Thanks.

RE: Web page thumbnails

Amazon.com has an inexpensive (I think) web service that will do this.
I don't know if the web page has to already be in their library or if it is
dynamic.

Complex object types - a little help?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I have a query (well, database) with a field in it that is a hack.  It
basically contains a list.

This|that|other

In CF 4.5 I could treat this as a list an loop through it.  It is drawing an
error in CF 7.02: "Complex object types cannot be converted to simple
values."

In the case below I assigned the query field to a variable -
practicearealisting hoping that might help.


#client#


In short, what I am asking, is for a way to convert this list-in-a-string to
a real list.  And if there is a regular way of doing this?  I've a feeling
the answer is staring me in the face.  Maybe somebody could poke my eye with
it?  Thanks.

RE:[OT] some advice needed to choose a switch

[Nathan C. Smith]

Ask yourself if you really need layer 3 or higher.  That's going to get
expensive.  Maybe you can accomplish what you want using your
router/firewall and/or vlans?  Gigabit may be overkill if the servers are
only talking to the Internet.

I have good luck with adtran Netvanta products - great warranty and support.
Solid conservative designs.
Dell switches are made by a variety of companies including netgear
Some people like netgear, but they look at them as being "disposable".  As
in, have one ready in the wings in case it dies.  They have performance on
par with more expensive brands.
I also hear good things about HP procurve line.  A lot of people go this way
instead of Cisco.
Extreme makes an incredible, but expensive product.  If you say "cisco" to
your extreme sales person they will beat cisco prices.  You can get about
anything you need in the Extreme line-up of products.
Nortel makes a solid product.
3com is an option.  Most 3com products are made by Huawei and Huawei will be
a major telecom player within the decade.  I dropped 3com because of their
new support policies and pricing.

Security Best Practices?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I am aware of the documents at the Adobe/Macromedia Knowledgebase about
securing ColdFusion.  However, I wonder if there is another definitive
checklist or document somewhere else?  I'm mostly concerned with
configuration of the servers (coldfusion/IIS) even though I realize
application design is an important aspect of security too.

Thanks for any pointers.

CF MX6 to MX7 upgrade uses old data sources?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I updated a machine from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 (server) and then ran
the install for CF MX7.  I think it did a side by side install with MX6.  

The web site, an intranet, is now running from MX7, except it seems to be
using the MX6 data sources for MS Access databases.

All the data sources are listed in the MX7 data source configuration pages.
If I stop the MX6 ODBC services and restart MX7 (MX6 is stopped) I get
errors on the pages that are trying to draw from these access databases.

So I'm wondering, has anybody else seen this?  I recreated one of the data
sources in the database administrator and then stopped the MX 6 services and
it verified OK.  Is there a program or script to migrate the Data source
settings?  If this is a FAQ I must be using the wrong keywords.

I appreciate any and all pointers.  Thanks much.

How Updated am I?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I just installed a recent download of CF MX7.  My version reads:
7,0,1,116466   

The hotfix released on 3/2/2006 doesn't indicate on the web page what the
version will be once applied.  I'm trying to determine if I need to apply
this or not.  Has anyone who has applied it checked their version?

Also, can anyone comment on this:
"Macromedia recommends that CHF2 only be applied to ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 if
you are experiencing one or more of the specific fixed issues listed below,
and then only to ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 (specifically)."

Is that truly the best practice, or should I apply regardless if necessary?

Thanks.

Creating a string of len(x)

[Nathan C. Smith]

So I want to create a function to create string of arbitrary length before I
put anything into it (well, printable characters anyway)

So I'm thinking there must be something better than

Loop 1 to x time

Loop

And it's probably really obvious, but can somebody shoot me a clue.  (list?
Array of char?)

Thanks.

RE: Print to a printer

[Nathan C. Smith]

Some printers now have the ability to print from a mailbox using pop3.  You
might be able to set ColdFusion up to send a printer formatted message to
the pop3 mailbox that the printer could print from.

I think HPs and Xeroxes do this, maybe Lexmark, and probably others.

RE: Current Status of MySQL 5 with CF MX

[Nathan C. Smith]

Thanks for all the feedback on this.
Based on comments so far, I don't think I'm going to go to 5.0 quite yet.
Many thanks.

-Nate



I have been running MySQL 5 with CF since it was still in Beta.  Granted, I
am not running large applications with it, but it is working as expected.
You need to use the MySQl JConnector JDBC drivers, a bit more difficult to
set up in CFAdmin than the included drivers, but not difficult by any
stretch of the imagination.

Current Status of MySQL 5 with CF MX

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'm wondering if anyone is using MySQL 5 with ColdFusion MX and if there are
any gotchas or tips they could impart for making them work together.  I have
an application I want to run that is asking for a later version than I have
installed (4.0x or so). 

I assume it would be necessary to use a newer ODBC driver too?

Tips pointers and links much appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello,

http://somesite/UserFiles/File/"; 
extensions=".pdf, .doc" 
custom1="pdf"

This will index the word documents in the folder, but not the PDFs.

When i search i get no results for the PDFs.  I will get results for the

If i run this exact same code on my windows box it indexes PDFs and Word
docs just fine.

Any Ideas?

cfMail senior moment - including grouped query results

[Nathan C. Smith]

Sorry to burden the list with my stupid question, but my brain is
withholding CF knowledge from me today.

I'm trying to send a single message to a single address that contains a
"grouped Query".

I want to send a list of items grouped by individual.  When I use 
inside  the  tags I get an error.

If I add query="my query" and group="personName" to the cfmail tag it sends
multiple messages broken by the personname.

I only want to send a single e-mail message that contains the output of a
grouped query, what am I missing?

Thanks.

RE: excel files

How many people will be querying the excel file?  

 
Could you create an Excel DSN with a file of a given name, but copy the
active file to the DSN file and name as it was being used?

 
Somebody else may be able to jump in here, but I think there is a way to
stop and restart a DSN programmatically, so perhaps you could stop the DSN,
copy the file and then access the DSN...

 
Maybe you've already been down this road?

Subject: Crystal 8.5 with CF MX 6.1

We are trying to run a simple Crystal Report (built using version 8.5) using
a CFREPORT tag in a Cold Fusion page. My understanding is that this should
be relatively routine. 

The tag reads: 

It is the only significant code in the BODY of the page (to keep the test
simple).

When we try to run the page, we get the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine. Error number
599 ocurred (Cannot open SQL server.)." 

We are running Windows 2000 Server with SP3, IIS, MDAC 2.6 SP 2, Crystal
Reports 8.5 (loaded as recommended in cfmx_crystal85.htm on the MacroMedia
site...Crystal loaded as Custom, adding Crystal SQL Designer to be loaded,
checking that CRPE32.dll is in the system32 directory), and CF MX 6.1.

We defined the ODBC connection to our SQL server database and it verified.
We ran a simple Cold Fusion test page that accessed that database and it
worked. We ran the crystal report in crystal (using that database in the
report) and it worked. When we try to run the crystal report from CFREPORT
in CF, it fails with the error above.

Any suggestions?

Actually we use CICS on our mainframe. I've just started a project where I

Also, just to round this out, it was IBM Consulting Services that
"recommended" WebSphere as the obvious solution for the enterprise.  The
management hired them to examine our then-current applications (written for

How surprised were we when they settled on WebSphere on AIX?  Not very.  ;^)

I used to work for IBM Data Processing Division and many IBM products 
were (rumored to be) priced this way (high) because they had a 
"perceived" greater worth.

One specific product comes to mind, CICS.

This was a back-end terminal to MaimFrame CPU (no network) information 
system.

It was a good system, but nowhere near the capability, power, 
ease-of-use, etc. of CFMX.

Work was essentially completed on the product in the 1980's and it went 
into maintenance mode (no new development)

The last I heard the number of users of the CICS (MaimFrame DOS) 
version was over 30,000 users.

The average cost to IBM customers was $3,000

per month

You do the math!

OT Whois MM NetTools

I am working with the whois in the Nettools from one of the DRKs.  Trying to
make a web-based tool for staff to easily query whois.

I don't know anything about whois but I'm finding when I query a name
registered with register.com on network solutions' whois I don't get a
result.  Is that correct behavior.

My real question is when I do a whois in Linux, near the top of the response
it says 

[Querying whois.internic.net]
[Redirected to whois.networksolutions.com]
[Querying whois.networksolutions.com]
[whois.networksolutions.com]

Why and how does it know to do this or is networksolutions simply the first
stop after whois.internic.net?

Thanks for the insight.

Hey All,

If you have a spare moment can you stop by:
http://142.179.101.53/internal/test/cf_brow_test.cfm

and report back to me (offlist please) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
what it spits out for browser and version (and what your browser and version
actually are).

I'm especially interested in hearing from those NOT using IE4+ and Netscape
7+

Please note this does not detect all browsers and versionsbut it is
meant to identify those that are not using IE 4+ and Netscape 4+.

Basically I'm weeding out any Netscape browser below version 6 and any IE
browser below version 4.  All other will be identified as an unknown browser
and a version of zero (so I can say "We don't know what browser you are
using but we did not test this site on your browser...proceed at your own
risk or get a mainstream browser").  If Netscape less than 6 or IE less than
4 is detected we will say..."You can't come in and play unless you get out
of the 90's" ;-)

BTW this is not a browser debate...we all know the stats show IE is the
hands down winner and various versions of Netscape are next in lineyes
Firefox might be cool or Opera is sweet...I just don't care ;-)

RE: How many class files do YOU have?

[Nathan C. Smith]

There is a slick utility offered by Sysinternals
'http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pagedefrag.shtml' called
pagedefrag that does a great job defragmenting your pagefile (if you don't
have the luxury of putting it on another disk.  I've been using it for a
year now on all our windows NT+ class systems, at the worst it doesn't seem
to create problems, at the best I think it helps machines start and stop
faster.

Dave's recommendation of setting the minimum size to the same as the maximum
size is mandatory on our systems (one of the first performance setting we
make).

Also, if you have a lot of memory you can disable paging
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management' 'DisablePagingExecutive' to stop the OS from putting peices of
itself in swap.

Even if you do have a lot of memory many programs will not work unless you
have a paging file, I guess even computer programs like to have a place to
doodle?

Subject: How many class files do YOU have?

I repoted to this list awhile ago about really long start up times for one 
of my apps on the first run. It seems that this problem has been resolved 
by defragging the HD? The C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses folder had 
a lot of fragmented files as well as other areas on the HD. Does that make 
sense?

Anyhow, I have 6,591 class files in my class folder taking up about 80 
megs. So, I am curious now how many class files ya'll have on your servers?

And another question related to disk usage; what are the guidelines for a 
paging file and is it needed if you have lots of physical ram? The reason I 
ask is because I wonder if a fragmented HD, and a page file on that disk 
might cause problems. I've had some JavaOutOfMemory errors, so I am looking 
for answers everywhere :)

the problem that I think I see with yours is that you put both the dD and
the space within character classes, which only match a single character.  By
taking the space (\s) out of the character class, you're saying, "one upper

RE: Breaking up table for printing (long)

I see, sorry for the confusion.

 
If it were me I might try "getting old school" on this problem.  Use a
non-proportional font, and get out my data-processing ruler that measures in
picas and points and then try to limit how many characters occur across the
page.

 
I was having the same problem on the reports I learned the printed CSS stuff
for.  My ultimate solution was to limit the table widths and use a smaller
font.

 
Good luck.

If I'm reading the spec right, this isn't quite what I am looking for.

What I probably didn't make clear was that in this example:
(Example #2)
PANEL 1 DATE1 DATE2 DATE3
Test1   result1   result2   result3
Test2   result6   result7   result8
Test3   result11  result12  result13
Test4   result16  result17  result18

PANEL 1 DATE4 DATE5
Test1   result4    result5
Test2   result9    result10
Test3   result14   result15
Test4   result19   result20

PANEL 2 DATE1 DATE2 DATE3
Test5   result21  result22  result23
Test6   result26  result27  result28
Test7   result31  result32  result33
Test8   result36  result37  result38

PANEL 2 DATE4 DATE5
Test5   result24  result25
Test6   result29  result30
Test7   result34  result35
Test8   result39  result40

those are all on one page.  (If I left it so that all 5 date columns were in
the same "row", it would spill out onto a page to the right -- something we
want to avoid).  "Vertical" page breaks are ok (and I already have code to
handle that), but we want the layout on a page to look like the above so
that we don't have "horizontal" page breaks.

Does that make any more sense?  (I've struggled with this for a while, so I
know it's hard to explain clearly.)

Check out the style sheet (CSS) extensions for printing.  They helped me

The above, as you can guess causes the table not to be broen where possible
and causes a page-break before the able is printed.

It isn't a report writer but it helps a lot.

It is actually pretty simple. Just use . There is one thing to
worry about. In IE, the browser "helps" by not displaying content until it
gets "enough" content. Let's all pause for a minute to thank MS and it's
infinite wisdom. Anyway, sometimes you have to push IE to force it to
display something. So, I would use code like this:

Please stand by while we do the foo.
#repeatString(" ",250)#


The repeatString function just outputs a big block of white space that the
browser will display as _one_ space. Normally folks have HTML and other bits
already output so this hack isn't needed. 

Also, note that you can't use tags like cfcontent, cfcookie, cfheader, etc,
after using cfflush.

I think I need to use cfflush, but if anybody has any pointers on how to
accomplish this I would be very appreciative.

I'd the form to be submitted, then a page would come up that says processing
- don't touch that browser  and then the results and a new form come up
on the page.  If it could be more descriptive - like say 6 of 42 processed
that would be neat too.  (processing occurs inside a loop)

I could really use a clue.

Subject: SOT: Distinct


SELECT distinct email, customerid
FROM customers
Where customer != 'test'
Order by customerid desc


In the above Query, how do I distinct just the email and not the customerid.
Because of the Order by SQL requires me to put customer id in the Distinct
part of Select. This throws things off since some customers have distinct
customerid's but their emails are similar.

How do I do an order by customerid, but still display just distinct email
addresses not duplicates?

Thx.

RE: uploading large file - how to tell when it is uploaded

[Nathan C. Smith]

Check the file size a couple times and confirm that it stays the same each
time you check it.  how long to wait to check might vary based on the
speed/reliability of your connection.  Make sure the last date/time modified
stays the same.

Subject: uploading large file - how to tell when it is uploaded

Hi

I have a website where a large file is uploaded externally via  
ftp from another site (so I have no control over it) 
I then have a file which checks to see if this file exists - if it  
does I do an update then delete the original upload file.

I need to know that when my file checks to see if the upload file  
exists that the upload file has actually uploaded completely  
(sometimes it will be a quite large file)

I thought that maybe I could see (somehow) if the file was in use  
- but I can't work out how to do this? (I'm on Windows server)

Does anyone know how to do this - or - is there a better way

MTIA

post CFMX 6.1 Updaters

[Nathan C. Smith]

I see there are some post-CFMX 6.1 hotfixes available, but are there any
updaters or "hot-fix rollups" for post MX 6.1?

I've been dredging the Macromedia WS and can only find references to
hotfixes.  

Thanks.

[OT] SSL Certificate Source

[Nathan C. Smith]

For one reason or another I choose not to do business with Verisign.  I just
found out Thawte is associated with Verisign.  I am now wondering what
independent Certificate authorities are left that are unassociated with
Verisign.

Anybody feel the same and been through this already?

Thanks.

RE: jRockit

[Nathan C. Smith]

"fully compatible" is a dangerous term.

 
I think JRockit meets the compatibility tests.  There are many alternatives
to SUN that claim to be faster.  The MS engine was supposed to be very fast.

 
I think the thing to remember is that when something appears broken, you
need to switch back to the Macromedia-provided JVM and test before you
declare something is broken or buggy.

Subject: jRockit

Hi All,

A few days ago, someone quoted Charlie Arehart regarding CFMX  optimization
tips.  One of the things that was mentioned was that you should replace the
Sun JRE with jRockit.  I did some research and learned that jRockit is
distributed by BEA (for free).

Can anyone tell me more about jRockit?  Why is it better than the Sun JRE?
Is it fully compatible with the Sun version? Is it fully compatible with
CFMX?

Charlie, are you out there?

Thanks,

Charlie Airehart had an article on tuning.  Recommended changing to Rockit
JRE and making sure hardware was current (duh?).

We're doing some performance tuning.  The only MM technotes I found 
covered CF 3 and JRun 3.1...

Is there a good, current article on performance tuning CFMX 6.1?  I'm 
specifically looking for the ideal # of Max simulataneous requests.

RE: Certs for Site Users

[Nathan C. Smith]

Most of the certificate signers - Verisign, Thawte, what-have-you have
online info about certs.  Also check iisanswers, brett Hill's site.  He has
a mini-tutorial/Faq about certs on IIS.

  Sounds like HTTPS client certificates.
  How easy it is depends on your web server.

Just install your JRE, then CFMX normally, then edit jvm.config to point to
your new JRE. The jvm.config file is located in \cfusionmx\runtime\bin with
the "server configuration" install option.

Install CF MX on newer SUN JRE (Windows 2K)

[Nathan C. Smith]

Can anyone explain how, or point me to instructions on how to Install MX on
a different JRE than the one that installs by default with MX?

I am installing to windows 2000 on a mini-itx (CPU = VI C3 Ezra) machine and
it crashes on older versions of JAVA.  I have downloaded and installed
j2re1.4.2_03.

I have googled for instructions, visited the MM KB and tried the silent
install option, which seems to offer the choice of a different JRE, but I
have been unable to make it work.

Any hints appreciated.

TIA.
