CFMX Secure FTP
Here's my task: Create a web-based mechanism that can provide a means to transmit large blocks of data (XML data dumps to be exact) from one location to another (usually thousands of miles away). The key requirement is that the data travel encrypted and that it have resume capability. My gut tells me to go w/ some form of secured FTP to transmit the data. I could probably piece together some sort of front-end that shows progress in some manner (I think) through a web console.

Odd XML parsing behavior
Maybe I'm just being a NAG here, but here's what's happening: I'm parsing 2 RSS feeds when a page loads with MX's xmlparse function. First thing I noticed was that even though the files were local, it wasn't very quick. I put some trace code in and noticed that the first time the xmlparse function is used (on the first RSS), it takes approx. 150-200 MS, the second time its used - it takes almost no time. Any ideas? And while we're on the topic: are there better alternatives to MX's native XML support? -Rich [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Odd XML parsing behavior
Ouch. Heheh. Sorry I asked. It turned out to have been something else - this particular RSS (BBC feed in fact) was for whatever reason taking an extra long time to build.

You can call a Java parser directly and do pretty much whatever you want with it... BTW I have an old quote on this: I have yet to come across an XML system where the true performance bottleneck is XML parser speed. Moreover, the people I meet who are infatuated with parser speed are the same people who thought the Web would never work because HTTP was too slow or that Java would never succeed because it is too slow.

Efficient way to handle undefined variables
What is the best/most efficient way to handle a scenario where you're
populating variables from other variables that may or may not exist. If
they don't exist, an empty string should be assigned. I wrote a little
function to do this with a simple if statement inside:
If (isDefined(inVal)
{
outVal = inVal;
}
else
{
outVal = ;
}
Is this the best way to go about this? I'm going to end up wrapping
quite a few variables in this function, that's why I'm curious (I'm
puling in an XML that potentially has MANY optional variables).
Thanks,
Rich

RE: Objects Everywhere!
Umm, not sure really. Lemme throw out an extreme example. Let's say a user (to further the illustration below) has 230 bookmarks. Let's also assume that there are all sorts of properties associated with a bookmark (e.g. description, date added, title, url, etc.) but all I need to display are the url's on the user page. It just seems that to use a getter for each of the 230 bookmarks for 1 or 2 fields is overkill. An alternative I suppose is to just have a person.bookmarks property that carries an array (or query) with the information that is populated from the bookmark object? I guess all I'm asking is - as far as OO approaches is concerned - how should one handle a scenario where an object's composition includes many instances of the same object?

Right, so the issue here is all about which 'objects' in your model are really important objects that actually have behaviors and which are just data. While a bookmark object may be very reasonable if you are focusing on the bookmarks themselves, that implementation may be overkill if you're really focused on the user. An alternative I suppose is to just have a person.bookmarks property that carries an array (or query) with the information that is populated from the bookmark object? Yes, or have a bookmarks object that holds all the bookmarks in some internal format (such as a query, for example) with some methods to make it easier to retrieve data from that internal format. Again, it's the decision about whether an individual bookmark is important enough to model on its own or whether you really just want to model the collection of bookmarks. I guess all I'm asking is - as far as OO approaches is concerned - how should one handle a scenario where an object's composition includes many instances of the same object? There's no hard and fast rule. If the collection itself is important, model that as an object. If the contents of the collection are the most important part, an array of objects is reasonable.

Objects Everywhere!
I've coding CF for a few years, and I'm digging into using CFC's as objects rather than just invoking them. I've got a couple of questions if anyone can help: 1. One of the things I'd like to do is populate a user's session with a user object that persists. Now my concern here is that this object is being created for each authenticated user. I'm assuming that all methods effectively get copied ot every user as well (again I'm assuming). This sounds expensive. If I get to 200, 300, etc. concurrent logged-in users, is this an inefficient way to do things? 2. Another sort of related quesiton is the idea of an object having other objects (i.e. composition). Here's my concern here. Let's say I've got a user object that has one to many bookmarks associated with it. If a user has say 15 bookmarks, this also seems inefficient. Hal Helms explained composition nicely with a simple Person-Address composition relationship (i.e. a person has an address). This makes sense and isn't worrisome b/c it is more or less a one-to-one relationship (or close to it). But if an object is composed of potentially many objects - is this still the best way to go? The alternative obviously is to just pull back the bookmarks as part parcel of the person object's get method and just make it a native property of person (structure/query/whatever). Any insight here would be greatly appreciated. -Rich ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Writing Custom Tags in XML?
Is it possible to write custom tags in well-formed XML? The reason I ask is that I'd like to take advantage of CFMX's XML parsing to create documented views by simply pointing to the custom tag. Will this render the tags unusable? For example: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? CustomTag name=makebold description=This tag makes the passed on text attribute bold. CFPARAM default=YourText name=text type=string hint=The text passed in that will be made bold. CFOUTPUTb#attributes.text#/b/CFOUTPUT /CustomTag Notice I added attributes to the CFPARAM tags (attributes I'm assuming CFMX will ignore?) as well as wrapped the whole thing in a root element.

Does it cache them? Does it cache them along with parameters? Each CFC and each method within a CFC is converted to a Java class file, just like each CFM file, and that compiled class file is loaded (and cached in memory). As Ray said, the lifetime of each CFC instance is whatever you tell it to be, i.e., depending on how you use and store it. 2.Let's assume a CFC method requires 3 seconds for output in testing. Once in production, let's assume that load is significant enough such that the CFC will be invoked every second. Will the invocation have to wait for the CFC to finish processing the previous one? I guess another question I'm asking is - do CFC's support multi-threading? This is no different to having any CFM page that takes three seconds and still being able to support many concurrent users. 3.If they don't, is there something I can tweak/change/do to make them better handle near-simultaneous requests? It depends on how you are trying to use CFCs. If you have stateless CFCs, you can create a single cached issue in application scope and use that instance for all your cfinvoke's. If you have stateful CFCs, you need to manage their lifetimes according to whatever rules the state has - it may be per page, per request, per session.

FYI, here it is: http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=writings.displayOnScreenwr iting=TenReasonsCompaniesLikeJava.htm Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using ColdFusion. A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of simultaneous requests that ColdFusion can.. Can you scale CF by adding hardware? Sure, but each server costs both hardware and software licensing money and all these must be administered. I'm assuming the reference is to CFMX? Not sure.

However, I (and others) have found issues with CFCs that are cached and under load. (And I don't mean big honkin amazon.com load, just medium level load.) Issues like: 1) Methods not working anymore - in other words, you call foo() and the CFC forgets it has foo() (This happened on my blog.) 2) Method blah() has a query inside. It returns the query. I kept getting errors stating that it wasn't returning a query, however, I never saw any db errors. For some reason, the cfquery would run, make a recordset called whatever, whatever exists, but wasn't a real recordset. (Happens on cflib.org.) Both issues disappeared if I remove the CFC from cache.

RE: CFC performance difficulties
Michael: I'll admit that I don't have years of OO experience behind me, but in my experience I've found that many of the applications I've designed/built share a very common paradigm: objects that require a line-item view (e.g. lists and search results) and a zoomed-in or detailed view (often used for full view of a single object or an edit/modify page of that object). With that assumption, I think it makes the most sense to reserve object instantiation for those full views of your object while creating other CFC's that simply build queries for search results. I suppose the better question to ask is - why would I need all the glorious details and methods of a particular object if all I can really do in a line-item sort of view is click on it? Again, I'm not an OO expert by any means, so if someone out there can enlighten us further, I'd look forward to it. I just try to use business (or more specifically end-user) goals to drive the design. -Rich -Original Message- From: Pacella, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 11:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFC performance difficulties Has anyone experienced slow downs when passing around several CFCs as objects ? Here's the problem we have run in to: To encapsulate information about all of the Campuses in our database, a CFC was created to act sort of like a Java object representing campus (complete with properties such as campusName, campusCode, campusBeginDate, campusContact, etc.. -- and settors and gettors to retrieve them)... Another CFC was created to access the database, performing functionality such as search. Search would query the DB, and then step thru the results, creating Campus CFC objects for EACH campus returned. The end result of the function would be a Structure whose Keys were the CampusCode and whose Value were the actual, aforementioned Campus CFC object. Passing around over 100 of these CFC objects encapsulated in a Structure causes a massive performance hitUsing GetTickCount(), it was determined that simply writing a query and looping through it took about 27 milliseconds. Whereas, creating this structure of Campus CFCs, looping through that and having an actual OO programmatic concept took about 563 milliseconds. That seems a little bit excessive. The question is, (1) am I misconstruing the power of CFCs (2) can/have they been implemented in a similar fashion (3) was it intended for several to be encapsulated in structures (which old Java guys might look at as Hashtables whose values are Objects)...

Web Service Woes
I'm trying ot turn a CFC into a web service and I'm getting all sorts of
silliness. I have confirmed that the CFC is intact and funtioning
properly if I just call it as component. Here is the code in the header
of the function:
cfinvoke
method=execRulesetSimple
returnvariable=result
webservice=http://localhost:87/c/cfc/ruleset.cfc?wsdl;
cfinvokeargument
name=rulesetID value=#form.uid_ruleset#
cfinvokeargument
name=operator value=#form.operator#
cfinvokeargument
name=fields value=#form#
/cfinvoke
Here is the relevant function:
cffunction name=execRulesetSimple

returntype=string
cfargument name=RulesetID
type=string
required=yes
cfargument name=fields
type=struct
required=yes
cfargument name=operator
type=string
required=yes default=AND

CFRETURN result
/cffunciton
And here's the error I get:

Note, I'm passing the form structure into the 'fields' argument in the
method (that's why you see all that silliness above.). I guess my first
question is: why is it saying could not be found above?
Any help would be great.

I can give you my experience having used CF seriously since version 1.54 and having worked for Allaire and MM as a field based Consultant (read Troubleshooter). My view is very much from a CF angle. From a coding standpoint in terms of getting an application coded well and out of the door nothing has ever bettered CF. The advent of Fusebox also added the possibility of using a well distributed framework which we find is greatly in demand in the larger enterprise operations. Fusebox is moving into other paradigms (PHP, ASP, JSP) etc but it much more evolved for CF. In my time at Allaire and Macromedia I saw applications of all sizes. Wherever there were perfomance issues they always related back to bad coding or dodgy infrastructure. Once these items were corrected CF was always able to scream. I had two large CF user clients paranoid that they had lost most of their site users because stability and system loads were suddenly amazingly better. One of them was one of the worlds large Auto manufacturers and they had bloody busy sites. So my point of view is that CF Sites coded well in a workable scalable and understandable framework cannot be beaten from a web application standpoint and this is historical. When you add to that the possibilities before us with the MX Family, all the rest really do pale IMHO.

The cfm page send.cfm looks like this:: cfcontent type=unknown file=c:\archive\file.mp3 deletefile=No The problem is, instead of sending that file, it sends the right file but it names it send.cfm instead of the actual file name. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks, Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Sending MP3's Through CF
I figured out a way to send mp3's through a web server on demand (pseudo-streaming by using CFCONTENT w/ a mime-type of audio/mpegurl. The page that does the sending looks like this: CFCONTENT TYPE=audio/x-mpegurl cfoutput #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,#title# http://my.server/mp3/#streamurl# /cfoutput My question: I'd like to still do the above without mapping my mp3 folder on the web server and referring to my own server. As it is - people can snoop around the /mp3 folder on the web server. Any suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks, Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Bizarre Browser Problem
I'm using a CF web hosting service and I'm getting an absolutely bizarre scenario: When I open the CF pages on my PC at home, they come into the browser with all the CF code intact (i.e. unprocessed). I thought this was an issue at the host, but it turns out if I surf anywhere else, it works fine. Any suggestions/help? Thanks, Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

SQL Question: Limiting results against a particular grouping
How would I go about limiting the number of results against a particular grouping in SQL. For example, the query returned 16 rows in 'Los Angeles' and 23 rows in 'New York', but I would like to only show 10 of each. Thanks in advance, Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
