xmlSearch() tip
Having problems performing a subsequent XML search on a array item that looks like XML and was produced from a previous XML search? Basic XPath strings returning empty arrays? Then try removing any xhtml declaration attributes, in paricular from the base node, in the array item prior to xmlSearch(). This fixed where I was not getting any results back from xmlSearch() for a known XML element even using the most basic of XPath criteria. The takeaway here is that even though isXML() may return true, that does not mean xmlSearch() will work as expected/hoped/described.

Re: SQL query question
With ColdFusion 9, we ended up replacing all the wildcard selects with actual column names, among other fortifications. We did not experience this issue on 6.1. ~| 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:341821 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: SQL Azure and Coldfusion 9
Rather that CF9 and CFQUERY handle it better To my mind, if CFQUERY does not error out, then the queryname, recordcount and column list in all cases should be set, regardless of driver or target database. For those of us with sprawling apps to maintain (1,000s of .cfm files) and where a global edit across such code base is not possible, patching this is headache. >So use isDefined(Variables.queryname) first. ~| 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:339642 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

>This is actually incredibly easy to deal with this scenario, you just have >to check for the existence of the query variable first. >You would normally check the recordcount > 0 anyway so you don't output >nothing, so it really isn't any more work. That would be true except when recordcount isn't populated, the query itself may not be populated and, depending on why, will error out. Since isQuery() will error out if the var is unset after CFQUERY, that is not very useful either. CFQUERY name="myQry" ... declare @tmp table (col1 int) -- step 1 insert into @tmp (col1) select sub.* from (select 1 as col1 where 1=2) sub -- step 2 select * from @tmp where 1=2 -- step 3 /CFQUERY CFIF isQuery(myQry) CFDUMP var="#myQry#" CFDUMP var="#myQry.recordCount#" CFDUMP var="#myQry.columnlist#" /CFIF This will (still) bomb using MS JDBC 2.0/3.0 drivers against SQL Azure or SQL Server 2008 (SQL2K8). Not so using MS SQL Server (which is actually a MM JDBC driver in CF) against SQL2K8.

Re: REQUEST.cfdumpinited
>I use cfdump in cfmail all the time, and it works fine for me (we're >on CF9 as well). Are you sure you're using the HTML format? I was using HTML format, but it turns out I also have to use cfmailpart to get the javascript generated by CFDUMP from showing in the message body. So now it looks like this: CFMAIL to= from= subject= type="HTML" CFMAILPART type="text" text version here /CFMAILPART CFMAILPART type="HTML" markup version here CFDUMP /CFMAILPART /CFMAIL Where it used to just look like this: CFMAIL to= from= subject= type="HTML" markup here CFDUMP /CFMAIL Thanks for the help, Sean ~| 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:339638 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Well, except I need the markup, just not the extra style or javascript. It
also appears that CFDUMP generates the style and javascript tags for each time
it is called.
The real issue here is that CFDUMP used to work properly inside a CFMAIL tag in
CF6, and now in CF9, it either does not work at all, or spews a bunch of
unhidden javascript into the body of the email.
Regular (not in CFMAIL) example (angle-brackets removed):
body
cfset foo=queryNew("bar")
cfset dummy=queryAddRow(foo,1)
cfset dummy=querySetCell(foo,"bar","bat")
cfset REQUEST.cfdumpinited=false
cfdump var="#foo#"
cfdump var="#REQUEST#"
/body

REQUEST.cfdumpinited
In CF9, setting REQUEST.cfdumpinited to true prevents CFDUMP from displaying at all, where in CF6 it merely prevented the STYLE and SCRIPT tags from appearing. CF9 workaround?

SQL Azure and Coldfusion 9
FYI, SQL Azure is not part of the support matrix for ColdFusion. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_support_matrix_4_ue.pdf There's an issue with SQL Azure where certain types of queries that when returning zero records, will not populate recordcount or set the query variable at all. After contacting Adobe about a patch for this for ColdFusion 9, Adobe indicated that SQL Azure is not supported and closed the support ticket. I have a ticket opon on the Microsoft side, and still trying to identify whether it is the JDBC driver itself or something specific with SQL Azure. For now, if considering SQL Azure, likely not an option for production at this time unless willing to write overly defensive code. ~| 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:339540 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFMail Send Problem
Experiencing the same issue (blank message body) this past week (as of 11/09/10) as described in this post of 11/12/2003. No changes to the template(s) calling CFMail - just started sending blank message bodies. Spam score says negative 1 (-1) where a score of 3 or more is spam, so that's not it. CF says it left the building fine. Records in db say there was indeed message content. Thankfully only happening on our test system (in office), not in production (co-lo). Anyone figure this out? Was it an ISP/content filtering issue?
