Re: writing protected CF with CFStoredProc
In your example you are altering the behavior of the query based upon input which does not affect injection attacks. The idea of protecting against injection attacks is to stop invalid values from being executed within the query/SP. Take for example this query: delete from customer where customerId = 1 if this query were parameterized from CF without cfqueryparam you would have: delete from customer where customerId = #customerId# If someone were trying to inject sql they could inject "1;drop customers;" as the parameter and without the queryparam, it would be executed literally as the following and drop the customers table: delete from customer where lastname = 1; drop customers; To prevent this we utilize cfqueryparam which parameterizes the query that is passed. As I understand it, this informs the database that the value being passed is of a specific datatype. So in the previous example: delete from customer where customerId = In essense, the database sees this as: declare @custId int set @custId = 1 delete from customer where customerId = @custId This has the benefit of not allowing the additional SQL to be injected, and I just learned recently, it also creates a parameterized query which on SQL server creates a cached query execution plan, minimially increasing performance.

Re: Why do I need getters/setters?
Will, Many of the ideas within OO are to promote encapsulation, easy reuse, and increased maintainabilty. In your example, it may be much easier to submit a form to a page that takes those values and adds them to the database. But for example lets say you are storing a "customer", and that you must ensure that there are no illeagal characters in their name. In your example, this can easily be done inline in the page, but what if you have multiple places where a customer can be entered? What about the SQL necessary to store this customer? Using OO, each of these operations is in exactly one place, and all your other code leverages that single place. This is one of a myrid of problems that OO attempts to solve. You gain flexibility and maintainability but at the cost of an increased learning curve and additional complexity.

Re: CFC confusion. please help!
Lori, The reason that some people discourage the use of a query object as a return type is due to the fact that it binds whatever uses that query object directly to the database (more specifically, to the columns in the database). The use of setter/getter beans should be familiar to your boss; under the java design pattern "Transfer Object", and are used as a mechanism to transfer the data in an encapsulated fashion. Return types are used in CFCs to create a strongly typed system. There are many debates on strong typing variables within CF (see duck typing), so you will have decide what best fits your team and development style. "Gateway objects" refer to a design pattern that has grown within the CF community, and refers to an object that manages all aggregate database interaction, while a DAO (data access object) manages persisting a single object. Many of the problems that come up in traditional java OO application development apply directly to CF and many can be solved using the same solutions and design patterns. Conversly, there are also new prolbems that are introduced using CF that must be solved in much different ways. A concrete example would be in java it is typical to create large object graphs (nested sets of objects), where in CF you must limit the depth of the graph as there are high object instantiation costs. Good luck!

RE: Asynchronous Web Service Response

If your clients are more technical, you could have the client provide a 'callback' web service when they invoke the original call. So for example, if your web service method signature looked like: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name) you could update it to: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name, callback_url) It is now possible when you run your batch, to return an xml packet to the callback url (you could include status, etc. in the packet). If this solution is to technical for your clients, then Bryan's suggestion of a getStatus(employeeId) which would allow your clients to poll the application seems to be the best solution.

OT: Spry validation
Hey all,
Does anyone know a way within Spry to invoke the default validations from
within a custom validation function? What I am trying to do is verify that the
end date is prior to the start date:
The problem with the above code is that it does validate that the current date
is greater than the end date, but it fails to check that the entered date is
valid.
For example, if startDateInput.value = '3/18/2008' and the value passed in to
this function is '3/39/2008'. Spry's built in validation would flag this value
as invalid while JS parses the date as April 8th, 2008. What I'd like to do
is to utilize the existing date validation offered by Spry, but to add
additional logic for each specific use case.
I would like to add something like:
if ( endDate.validate() ) { // use spry to test validation first
return false;
}
⦠continue with custom validation
Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Rich

Java Dependencies - CF7 to CF8
Hello all, In our environment, we are using an open source java application to manage some job scheduling (http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz) and are now experiencing problems when upgrading to CF8. The problem revolves around the required dependencies for Quartz (namely the Apache Commons libs). These libraries were not present in CF7, but are in CF8, except that they are an older version than what is required by Quartz. We do not want to upgrade the versions used by coldfusion for obvious reasons. Can anyone recommend an approach to how we can make these libs available to Quartz yet not change the CF install? Is a way to put these classes / libs into a different classloader and still expose them to CF?

RE: In totally over my head with OOP and extends (OT?)
I recently ran into a lot of the same head scratching that you are currently tackling. I'm going to preface this with the fact that I am relatively new to OO in CF as well and this is by no means gospel! I started by modeling the domain, that is creating the objects I could easily identify. In your case, I would begin by modeling a single user, then creating the more specific objects like worker and manager, then move on to creating a project and an assignment. After creating each of the specific objects that model "things" in my app, I then created DAO objects. Once you have all the pieces, it then becomes a job of how they fit together. In my case I created two objects to manage aggregate access and another to manage access to that specific object type; a gateway and a service object. The gateway is intended to process all aggregate information on each object, and the service object is used to interact with the individual object. Here is a possible object architecture (indented items are composited objects): project.cfc - Project Bean - ManagerArray (will store the manager object(s) of this project) projectDAO.cfc - Data access object for a project projectService.cfc - Manages access to the project data (an example method would be projectDAO.read(project) - projectDAO - project projectGateway - Manages aggregate access to projects user - Generic user object that contains: - projectArray userDAO - Data Access Object for users userService - generic user access service - user - userDAO userGateway - Manages aggregate access to users manager extends user - more specific manager object - WorkersArray managerDAO extends userDAO - data access object for managers managerService - manages access to manager object managerGateway - Manages aggregate access to managers worker extends user - assignmentArray workerDAO - worker DAO object workerService - manages access to worker object assignment - specific assignment object assignmentDAO - DAO object for assignments assignmentService - manages access to the assignment assignmentGateway - manages aggregate access to assignments With this method, once all objects are created and populated with data, you can access the data in flexible ways. You asked how you could get the following structure: Worker Project1 Assignment1a Assignment1b Project2 Assignment2a Assignment2b Considering the worker has an array of it's project stored internally you can loop over that array, and then use the assignment service to return the assignments for that specific project. Something like: #worker.getName()# project: #projects[i].getName()# assignments: #assignements.name# I hope this gives you some ideas that will help you move forward. If anyone else has any input on this type of an architecture, I'd be glad to hear about it!

There are Projects, Managers administer Projects and Workers contribute Effort to meet a given (percent effort) Assignment.

My user.cfc acts as a bean, only populated with data from my userDAO object. The DAO object has basic querys to the db based on a user_id. It has code something like this: -- query user The gateway object has code similar to the following: If I put the gateway object into the application scope, I know that I'll have to lock the query to get the user data from the userDAO, but is there going to be any issues with thread safety from the userGateway object when calling the getUser function?

In MS SQL I've seen two ways to handle returning the last inserted primary key: INSERT INTO t_doctors (#ColNames#) VALUES (#preserveSingleQuotes(ColValues)#); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS newpkey; This will return the last inserted primary key for the current scope (session), so there is no concern of race conditions.

As it stands for us now, we have one set of code in a directory on another server that we use for testing, and have built a CF engine to roll back files if they fail QA. We currently have quite a few people working in QA that are testing different tasks yet all work on the one unified code set. If we promote these branches to testing, would it still be one code set, or would we need different virtual directories to test the different branches? We're currently using DW8, but are considering moving everyone over to eclipse for it's integration and amazing price point ;) Again, thanks for your help in getting me to understand the theory of how this type of setup would work. Rich -Original Message- From: Michael Traher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 2:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: More Sorce Control Hi Rich, You need to consider using branches. These let you isolate a set of changes from the trunk. A branch can be developed and tested and QA'd separately then when signed off can be merged back to the trunk. At this point it does need retesting because of an subsequent changes. Small issues can be fixed on the trunk. You then tag the trunk at a stable point for a release of one or more merged changes. This way different changes can be merged only when they are ready and until then stay on their branch. This is how we work and our pattern of releases sounds similar to you. There are other patterns for using branches that suit other development modes. BTW Eclipse makes the merges nice and easy!

More Sorce Control
Hello all, We are currently working on implementing a new source control system and are turning to SVN as our original VSS system was not meeting out needs. We have the development side worked out, but our problem comes when we start to consider QA. The way our codebase and development works is that we have continuous development and QA. We don't have any specific type "release". We generally have more of a tag release type of promotion, where sets of pages / objects get promoted daily. While one tag is being QA'd, someone else might create another tag that uses some of the same files. To exemplify our problem consider the following example: Developer A creates a tag set with the following files: - FileA.cfm - FileB.cfm - FileC.cfm Developer A then sends his tag to QA, and QA starts testing this tag. Developer B creates a tag set with the following files: - FileC.cfm - FileD.cfm - FileE.cfm Developer B finishes their changes and merges their changes back to the trunk. Then sends his/her task to QA. At this point QA finds a problem with Developer A's tag set and pushes it back to the developer to fix. In this scenario, Developer B has finished their work on the tag set, but it has inherent problems because of the problem with developer A's work. When developer A returns to fix their problems, the code has changed and now contains developer B's code, which has not passed QA, so you cannot promote one without the other being included. Am I over thinking this problem? I can't seem to see a way to allow this type of incremental release structure without opening a can of worms once code starts to get to QA. Has anyone else run into this type of problem before?

RE: Odd Error with Dreamweaver8
I've run into a similar problem before, and if it's the same problem, it's not DW8, its CF.

RE: A Contractor or Two
One thing I've found that you should watch out for is the concept of giving away "free" or "low flat-fee" type projects is the clients will be blown away by your work, and then expect to receive the same fees when coming back with further work. In my experience, I've found it better to charge the full amount as a line item, then to give a "new account" discount on those first few projects to help build loyalty, that way they get a feel for what the project would have cost without the discount, and that in the future know that this discount will not be applied.

Do you suggest having a set hourly rate, set in stone? Like for example, $35/hour. I guess what I am wondering is if there should be different rates based on, project planning, as opposed to actual development? Next, should there be a different rate for database development, versus application development (PHP, ColdFusion, Java coding), versus graphic design, versus straight html. Also do you recommend "padding" hours, based on the above (padding slightly higher for database, or CF Code, as opposed to html). I'm trying to establish a loyal customer base, in baby steps. I'll sometimes do small projects for free, or for a very low flat-fee, to start. I'm hoping that once they are blown away by the results, I'll get referrals, and the clients will be more than happy to pay a higher rate based on proven results.

specific tags. For example:
function stripPrice(pageHtml, prePriceString, postPriceString) {
// look for the prePriceString
preStringLoc = pageHtml.indexOf(prePriceString);
if(preStringLoc eq -1)

Hello all, Sorry for the OT, just hoping someone here might have some experience with this. I'm trying to create a DTS workflow, and am not sure if this is possible or not. We have three servers, development, staging, and live. I'm looking to promote certain elements of a database to the next server via DTS. I can create a package inside the specific database, and run it and the upload works as expected. Considering I have hundreds of individual databases, I'm hoping I can create one DTS package and somehow pass it a database name to run against to promote these elements. Has anyone worked with this type of thing, or can someone point me in a direction to find some info on this type of dynamic DTS?

SQL Passed Varchar list
Hey all,
This seems really simple but I'm a bit stuck and was hoping someone could
help. I've got a SQL UDF in MSSQL that has a variable @list that is
declared as nvarchar(100), and I want to be able to pass a value list to it
(eg. 1,2,3). I'm using this in my where clause in my query (eg. WHERE ID IN
(@list)). My problem is that since it's treating the list of integers as a
string I get errors in the query. If I manually set ID IN (1,2,3) the query
works as expected, but not as ('1,2,3'). Is there a valuelist type function
in SQL to convert this? Or is there perhaps a regex type solution?
Thanks,
Rich

Strange CFC behavior
Hello all,
I'm having a weird problem. I've crated a user.cfc that manages all my user
information. When the object is created I put all relevant information into
the variables scope like:
Then I have crud operations to populate the variables:
All of this works as expected when I create a new user object. If I set the
login with user.setLogin("test"), I can call user.getLogin(), and it returns
the value that I stored via setLogin().
My problem comes when I try to write this to the database. I've got a
createUser function that does an insert statement, and when I force it to
error, the generated SQL is correct, I can run it in query analyzer and it
inserts correctly, but when I run the function, some functions are inserting
the correct data, while anything with a string is not. I also created a
checkUser() function to ensure that the functions are not being returned
empty. Below is my createUser function:
INSERT INTO users (login,
password,
first_name,
last_name,
date_expires,
date_created,
created_by,
updated_by)
VALUES ('#getLogin()#',
'#getPassword()#',
'#getFirstName()#',
'#getLastName()#',
NULL#getDateExpires()#,
#getDateCreated()#,
#getCreatedBy()#,
#getUpdatedBy()#
)
When I run this query, the login, password, first_name, and last_name are
inserted as empty strings. If I change for example getLogin() to
variables.instance.login it will insert correctly, and all this function
does is return the exact same thing. Anyone have any ideas whats going on
here?

and application.cfm
Does anyone know of a reason why a would fail when moved to the application.cfm? I've created a set of UI components that we're going to be using site wide, and am importing them as and then using them in pages via and when I had the cfimport calls at the top of the page, it worked fine, but when I move it to the application.cfm it is no longer functioning. Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Module Security
Can you give me some more info on your framework (url?). Is this an open source project, as I would love to see how you've developed some of this functionality? Rich Kroll Application Developer -Original Message- From: Snake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 10:07 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Module Security I have created a roles based security model that is part of my framework. Create a resource. Create permissions for that resource. Create groups. Assign resourecs and permissions to that group. Assigns a user to groups. When a user logs in, all the permissions for the groups they are a member of are loaded into a session variable. I then have a UDF that checks permissions, which I can wrap around an entire resource, a page, or an object on a page. E.g. Do this #request.noaccess# And I have developed a nice UI for managing it all. -- Russ -Original Message- From: Rich Kroll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 November 2005 14:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: Module Security Hello all, I am in the process of trying to develop a new security model for a project I am working on. I've developed the base model with a hierarchy of permissions to access areas of the application. My problem is that now I need to extend this to control certain modules within a page. These modules are not consistent to a specific page, or even a sequence of pages. My first thought is to have each specific module register with the system and then authenticate against that. Has anyone set up something along these lines and have any gotcha's I may be overlooking?

For example, within an existing workflow, on the third page in the process is an graph meant for administrators. Trying to explain "Process 1 step 3 graph" might get cumbersome. Any ideas?

RE: Module Security
It was mandated that I build in group permissions that could be overridden by specific user permissions, similar to the NT security model. Unfortunately, AD won't work for me because I need to lock down parts of a specific page, while still having the containing page respect different rights. Rich Kroll Application Developer -Original Message- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 9:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Module Security Rather than create a hierarchical structure of permissions, I only use Active Directory group membership. If you are in the appropriate AD group, you have access. I can pass in multiple groups if that applies as well. It works quite well for me since our organizational structure is not very deep. Well, not deep in the respect that my security method has caused any issues. Next, I am going to give department managers the ability to add/remove members from groups. That way, they can control the security themselves.

SMS Gateway
Hello all, I'm attempting to create a simple SMS gateway example for something I'm working on. I'm trying to find a carrier that can be used to test this app against. Has anyone worked with the SMS gateway and perhaps point me in the direction of more information / example code? And does anyone know a SMS service provider that has developer accounts that I can test this against?

OT: SP & UDF parameter meta data
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can access parameters expected by a
UDF in MSSQL? I know that I can use the following to retrieve the expected
parameters for a SP, but how can I do the same for a UDF?
select name
FROM syscolumns
WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('sp_myProcedure')
Anyone have any ideas?
