Dealing with tree node sorting
I had this awesome tree that now needs a different sort order. This has a table of parents and sub parents and then children. I have it working in this order: P C //this is P C C C C P C P C C C The parent and child tables have a sort column Now I need the following sort order: P P C C C C P C C //this is last now instead of first P C C C I'm stumped on how to get this sort order and then build it in an XML tree. I know this can be a complex process to show the code so if you could describe just the table schema? In my function, I loop the parents, then loop the children but this requires looping the parents, then looping the sub parents and keeping into account that there may be a child in between parents. ~| 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:339520 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Detect users based on country???
Use a public geo-location service: http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=#cgi.REMOTE_ADDR#"; result="response" /> Then use the response XML tree to extract the country or zip: #price# I wouldn't actually do it in this order because of the lag in http posts. I've had good luck with this method but it isn't perfect because web services can go down and then your checking system breaks. If the location service isn't working, then don't allow anyone to use the module you've built with the integrated geo-location service. Use cookies as you stated to keep from having to do this every time. ~| 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:339440 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Problem with undefined js variable set via cf...
You should be doing the following:
set all of your global vars first...
//global vars
load all scripts after.
then run the jquery onload event...
$(document).ready(function(){//functions on page load go here});
Which will set everything without needing to load the document first.

Re: CFCs for AJAX
If you avoid any output in any application methods then it will work fine and any Ajax framework (JQuery, JSON.js, etc) can convert the returned code to native JSON.

Re: CFCs for AJAX
I would do user checks in a component from onRequest and then use a proxy cfc for your ajax requests. Using onRequest, you can check the url and if it is the proxy cfc, then do your user credential checks before allowing access. Otherwise, you'll need to use the client scope in your cfc directly. ~| 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:339291 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: JQuery Ajax Error issue with Site-wide Error Handler
Not sure where this goes in CF5.5. Place it in your error handler.
In your js document:
$.ajaxSetup({
error:function(x,e){
if(x.status == 500 && x.statusText == "ColdFusion Error"){
//Server side code issue. Handle it gracefully!
}
});
You probably want to handle all server errors the same, although you can
customize the messages returned to the client. For instance, if you get a
SQL error you can do
instead.

Re: Closing Browser expires session/cookie
Okay, so I think you hit it Dave. I just need to shorten the session to 15 or 20 minutes. The system already requires a login when the user closes the browser so why not just shorten the timeout? I've already have the user sessions stored in a cookie so I was close, but didn't think about why the timeout was so long. It spawns another idea where in one instance I want the inactivity to be prolonged but some ajax calls every 10 minutes would handle this. Thanks! This really helps.

Closing Browser expires session/cookie
So I have an app that uses cflogin, which works great if the user logs in and
out from the same browser. Now here is where I am stumped:
-User logs in, then closes the browser
-System does not allow the same user to be logged in more than once
-System logs all logged in users
-System removes user from log onSessionEnd()
How can I remove the user from the log when they close the browser?
Here is my logic:
onSessionStart{
}
onSessionEnd{
delogUser(arguments.SessionScope.userid)
}
login{
logUser(uname,pword)
}
logout{
delogUser(session.userid)
}
onRequest{
if(isDefined("cookie.cfid") and session.loggedin eq false){
//this is in case the user closes the browser and then opens it again
checkCookieAgainstLogAndDelogUser(cookie.cfid)
}
}
So yeah, the user closes the browser but that doesn't fire the logout method or
clear the cookie or session. When the user tries to login with another browser
without actually hitting logout, they cant log in. The only way is to use the
same browser that they originally closed.

Re: Catching "Invalid CFML construct found" in OnError
Okay so running the code is gonna have to be the answer. The original reason for asking was because in my Ajax app I was not able to pass a custom header if I got a compile time error so catching it was a bit more difficult. It makes sense on a page request but an ajax request could be messy. Fortunately I have a dedicated server, otherwise I'd be screwed I think.

Re: Catching "Invalid CFML construct found" in OnError
How do you catch compile time errors when they occur? Regardless if a template was tested or not. I understand best practices and that your code should be tested but it doesn't mean it will never happen. So when it does, how do you deal with it? If I get a server error from my applications, I get an email but these are run time only errors. So logging is good for tracing but not for learning if and when they occur. Seems like any error regardless of how it happens should be sent through onError since ColdFusion doesn't have any build tools so to speak to check before run time occurs. I figured out a solution but it only works for ajax requests (pass back the html to a function if the error code is 500). I'm not sure about page requests. ~| 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:338400 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Catching "Invalid CFML construct found" in OnError
Dave, You are correct but stuff slips through the cracks. It's how well you can track back the error to the source when it occurs that will dictate if the code will be fixed when or if it happens. I can show a pretty nice user friendly error, but the question remains the same. How will I track errors in my site back to the template it occurs on and how did the user create that error. Simply put, Adobe has not developed much of an error tracking system. Now a days, I am tracking not only every click event and on which element up the DOM tree but also using that information when catching server errors that will help me figure out how it happened. I'd bet some of the other developers here would pay good money to have the same system in place for their websites. ~| 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:338397 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Doing it in jquery is unnecessary unless you want to use a wait icon to ensure the processing is finished before locating, which then all you need is a document.location.href="page-to-cfheader.cfm"; ~| 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:338071 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I spent some time trying to expose the methods in different structures with different access layers and it looks like the methods will not show up (as a structure) when returning out as json, web service or any other remote call. So basically, I was concerned that creating instances of objects could pass information about the methods within a cfc (like which ones are remote and what arguments would be accepted) but the only way to get this information is through public or private method calls, in which case it needs to be embedded inside of a coldfusion template after the cfc has been initiated. Does this all seem correct? ~| 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:337939 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I thought there might be a way without having to retype all of the items in the scope of that object to store them. There are work arounds I'm sure.

Thanks Matt. I think I understand the difference between the two

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I was hoping to shortcut the process of resetting the 'this' scope to a different scope for the sake of saving time. So you're saying that the only way is to specifically call on the structure members? returnObject = StructNew(); returnObject.id = this.id; returnObject.name = this.name; return returnObject; There must be a better way than a new method than resetting the structure... perhaps using the variables scope instead of the this scope? ~| 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:337879 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I have a cfc that gets instantiated and then stored in an array. I have a bunch
of different objects (arrays, queries, structures, etc) in the cfc which all
gets used but because of the way I am storing them, the methods can be called
and I want to prevent that.
So here is an example of my issue:
Animal.cfc
Cat.cfc extends Animal.cfc
Cat.cfc:
this.name="Kitty";
//instance vars go here
function init(id){
this.id=arguments.id
//setters go here
return this;
}
function meow(){
writeoutput("meow");
}
So now I am going to store the cats
catsArray = [];
for(i=1;i lte cats.recordcount;i++){
cat = createobject("component","cat.cfc").init(cats.id[i]);
//method to get structure here?
catsArray[i] = cat;
}
Now if you dump the array, you get all of the stuff in cat and animal but you
also get the methods to kill cat, feed cat and all. There must be a way to only
get the structure with members and not the option to call the cfc methods.

Replicating hints in cfc's
I have a few Interfaces that have a number of cfc's that implement them. I want to make sure that whoever is reading the cfc's understand what the methods are designed to do. I'm a bit confused about when to duplicate hints or if there is a way to speed this all up. My steps are as follows: 1.) Copy all methods in the interface 2.) Paste to new cfc 3.) Write override methods 4.) Within the methods, explain the purpose beyond the interface hints So this leads to the question, should the hint be step 4 or should I be replicating the interface hints? I'm not expecting much of an answer because this is probably not that important but I can imagine the person who has to support my code might be a little confused. ~| 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:337689 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: 3 layers of validation?
You should be doing client side validation of type checking with javascript not ajax calls to the server. It makes sense to make a call to check the database for duplicates or other non-type-checking validation but for simple checks I can't imagine trying to build a system that calls the server every time an input field changes state. This is much easier to check in javascript due to the universal nature of forms. There are only so many form element types so we can make functions that have universal behaviors to those elements and use custom scripts that can check for other definitions like max length, min length, min of 3 in the collection, etc. You should do strict type checking all the way to your database. Your input field value should be checked in every transfer from one method to the other (e.g., form post javascript method to cfc validation method to cfc object collection to cfc dbproxy method to the database stored procedure, etc). If there is an error, the server should throw an error. The client should be able to handle that error and deliver the message or respond accordingly. ~| 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:337396 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Creating a custom ajax error
You're correct if the application was something on the public end but during black box testing is when this would be useful. Before go-live I would like the user (or another client based delivery system) to catch errors and pass them back to a ticket. I can then go into my error log files and see more detail of what happened or get a little more information about how to duplicate and resolve the issue. Following, I would return something vague once black box testing is complete like 'were sorry an error has occurred' and then refresh or catch it and move on, etc. So to join the two, the real answer is yes and yes :) I would want to say whatever I want and handle it however I want based on when in the SDLC it is occurring and who is getting the error. Thanks for helping me on this. I know there are a lot of ways to do it but that's my problem. I think there is probably a better solution specific to CF/JQuery, perhaps the most common client/server combination for ColdFusion. ~| 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:336906 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Creating a custom ajax error
That's exactly what I was looking for Ray. So the $.ajaxSetup() method handles the errors and redirects expired session. I knew there was a way to do this outside of my ajax requests but wasn't sure if I needed to create a proxy method or otherwise. Also, I noticed that you are expecting a string "SessionTimeout" which is exactly what I am doing, just not in the same place (hence asking for some advice since I am duplicating this all over the place). So this leaves me with another thought about passing the error back to the client. If a ColdFusion error occurs, I would really like to have a structure to work with but how would you identify that it indeed is a server error? I would want an indicator and a structure at the same timeor maybe you can advise this as well?

Re: Bind issues - observation
Larry, It sounds like your problem is mainly the architecture that you're dealing with. It is really important to understand modern Ajax (not the old Async JavaSript & XML) and how to finely tune Ajax JavaScript libraries to do what you want. More specifically how to handle Ajax debugging and browsers that will not output debugging information. For instance, there was no way to know that you were using an Application.cfm with html and OnRequestEnd.cfm and that your markup was junking up your Ajax response without seeing the body of your respose. Your test environment was not setup well enough to work through debugging Ajax (until someone pointed out Firebug). In my testing environment, I use Firebug in Firefox to debug EVERY SINGLE REQUEST. If you cannot debug your requests/responses and view JS errors, there is no way you can build an application that uses Ajax. Even if Firebug didn't exist, there are ways around it. For instance, before firebug many developers would just log each request and response and view logfiles to see their issues. I also use a TON of jQuery because it simplifies the complexity of JSON and DOM and allows rapid Ajax development and DOM manipulation. ColdFusion has some nice built in libraries and I have used all of them at one point or another but for the sake of being able to extend JavaScript as a real programming language, I now just write scripts in jQuery and have them interact with ColdFusion components, returning JSON or strings or load a dynamic CFML page that takes care of all of the server side rendering that the browser might bark at (imagine using JSON & DOM manipulation to output 10,000 records in one go). The example I gave you in your earlier post gives you an example of both client and server rendering of a state change. Remember that you do not need to use Ajax for state change and that sometimes it is better to simply use DOM manipulation using JavaScript to change the state of your views and render it all on the server. ~| 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:336815 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: manipulating Excel files
I started to write the code answer but I'm afraid I didn't have time today. The short answer is that POI is probably the only option since there aren't really any other options within Java and your binary conversion method failed. To get the process going, I suggest reading your file in as a query object (using either Ben's POI utility or CF9). Then loop through the rows, columns. Mark each instance and store those coordinates (x,y). After looping through the sheets, columns and rows, use a method that sets the value for each occurrence.

Re: I need help with a web service FAST!!!
In your component, create a method that creates an instance of your parent
xmlDoc: this.xmlDoc = xmlNew() when you initialize it.
Then in your NEWJOB function, simply append the data to the this.xmlDoc by
creating a new node.
When you are finished, you simply use the instance name of the cfc and the
object reference. xmlcfc.xmlDoc to output it.
Does this make sense?

Re: Alternatives to CFFM?
you can add this code to the cffm.js:
function createErrorWin(msg){
var el = $(document.createElement("div"));
$(el).html(msg);
$(el).css("zIndex",999);
$("body").append(el);
}
and then do a find and replace for all alerts; find:alert replace:createErrorWin
If an error pops up, it should show up as a div (which is better IMHO). You
could probably add a link in there that deletes the div but this should get you
going. I didn't fix your problem but maybe you just need a better debugging
handler and use firebug/firefox or chrome and check out the console as others
have mentioned.

This works...
obj= createObject("component","cfc.MyClass");
obj.init(application.id);
obj.executeMethod();
But this does not?
obj= createObject("component","cfc.MyClass").init(application.id);
obj.execute();
on cfc...
this.id = arguments.id;
I swear I've chained init with arguments before... I've even seen other code
samples that do it. CFMX8.0.1

Yes you are right. I just wasn't sure if you were building an API or

Any time!
Keep in mind that anyone can call your method with Ajax so you still need to
verify the request (localhost or otherwise)

Re: Preventing use of remote method by other sites
I use a cfc that checks to see if the method being called is from within the
domain, is indeed ajax and that the method is indeed is accessed remotely,
otherwise abort the request. If you are doing cross site requests, pass a
unique key in your form.
Is it ajax?
requestHeaders = getHTTPRequestData().headers;
if(not StructKeyExists(requestHeaders, "X-Requested-With")){
return false;
}
else if(StructFind(requestHeaders,"X-Requested-With") neq
"XMLHttpRequest"){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
Called on init:
accessRemote = false;
cfcname = getmetadata(this);
for(i=1;i lte arrayLen(cfcname.FUNCTIONS);i++){
fname = cfcname.FUNCTIONS[i];
if(fname.name eq url.method && fname.access eq "remote"){
accessRemote = true;
break;
}
}
if(not isAjax() and not accessRemote){
abort();//this is a simple cfabort function for MX
}

Re: bind a method to all remotely accessed methods in a cfc
Just wanted to follow up in case anyone ever wants to try it.
On your super init method, use this code:
accessRemote = false;
cfcname = getmetadata(this);
for(i=1;i lte arrayLen(cfcname.FUNCTIONS);i++){
fname = cfcname.FUNCTIONS[i];
if(fname.name eq url.method && fname.access eq "remote"){
accessRemote = true;
break;
}
}
Call super.init() on your child cfc's. This only works with methods called via
URL and do not use only one instance of the parent cfc.

Re: bind a method to all remotely accessed methods in a cfc
ColdSpring has something like what I want but I thought someone might have something that uses GetMetaData() and then grabs the calling method and then checks the access and returns it.

bind a method to all remotely accessed methods in a cfc
Is it possible to bind a private or package method to any method with remote access within a cfc? I want run checks on each request to lock down security but not on the application level. I want to automate this procedure instead of having to place the call inside of each method. I would use reflection in Java. Any thoughts?

Re: Need Advice on Processing After a Page Has Been Rendered
I've dealt with this issue time and time again. For instance, you want the results to be downloaded in an excel document but you don't want to compromise the time it takes to render just the HTML. I have an image that is hidden and a spinner saying 'loading excel results'. Then at page load an ajax call will request the process and when it is finished, will show the image that will allow the user to download the excel document. You can do exactly the same thing where you have a notification saying that the data is being inserted and then a success message after it is complete. Be careful not to set up any process that will cancel the request or the transaction may not complete. In other words, you need to ensure that the request can still process even if the page is closed or expect incomplete transactions. You might need to take a look at cftransaction or a sql transaction statement so you aren't getting partial inserts/updates.

Re: Looking for a CF Recipe script!
>See how easy everything is in CF?
Coldfusion is different:
function manageRecipes(){
for(i=1;i lte RecipesQuery.recordcount;i++){
recipes[i].manage();
}
}
I've been writing a lot of JavaScript lately.
Why they decided to start the index at 1 and not allow relational or assignment
operators is completely baffling. It makes sense with tags but not with script.
Back on track; Ennio I would be willing to bet there are a number of people
that can dig up a recipe module and DB schema for you. Just try to be more
specific to what you need.

Re: jquery $.ajax - need help with json syntax
Okay I figured it out:
var data = {
'a': {"a":a.cat,"b":a.dog,"c":a.etc},
'b': b,
'c': c,
'd': d
};
Thanks everyone for the help. It helped me out quite a bit.

Re: jquery $.ajax - need help with json syntax
So then how would I reference an object with members? a.member, a.friend, etc.
I tried a:a and 'a':a but neither works.

Re: jquery $.ajax - need help with json syntax
If I use serialize I get nothing passed as a post argument. I am requiring all
args and I get the error as normal, "...required but not passed in".
var dat = {
'OBJ': obj,
'VAL': val,
'ATTR': attr,
'TIMESTAMP': time
};
return $.ajax({
url: "mycfc.cfc?method=dbupdate",
dataType: 'json',
data: $("dat").serialize(),
type: 'post',
success: callBack
});
Serialize() seems to return nothing.

jquery $.ajax - need help with json syntax
I need to pass 4 arguments and for this purpose, lets use a,b,c,d
var data = {"argumentCollection":{?}};
$.ajax({
url: "cfc/mycfc.cfc?method=dbupdate",
dataType: 'json',
data: data,
type: 'post',
success: callBack
});
Where data = ??? I know that when using the coldfusion ajax proxy I need to
pass argumentCollection as a parameter. Also, one of the arguments is an object
with different data types. (ie - a.string, a.int, a.boolean, etc)
Obviously the 'data' variable is wrong. Has anyone been able to post data using
this method?

Re: CF - jQuery - Javascript
You could use cfajaxproxy to get your recordset in json and then use jquery to populate the form fields with the values of each member of the json query object. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

cfNTauthenticate will pass NT authentication but you will need to have the user authenticate twice; once when they login to the machine and again per coldfusion application. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_m-o_07.html ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: recursive XML reader...
I had a similar problem with the xml structure. If I remember correctly, XML is not actually an array and so I couldn't use arraylen(). I might be wrong but I tried this once and failed so I decided to bail out and loop through the known levels of the xml structure. I'm curious of this as well ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Using javascript you can access the json as a structure; houseDetails.price
returns 45000.
So basically once the dataset is returned you can use it to build your url
string.It really helps to use a framework or library that is meant to work with
json and ajax. Try prototype or jquery.
I can write the following:
document.createElement("a").href="index.cfm?price="+houseDetails.price;
You can also access elements by their id or relative position to other easily
accessed elements in jQuery or Prototype
So really if your dev guy is a good client side developer, you should handle
all of the cfc methods for him and have him do all of the javascript and client
side development. Or are you trying to learn how to write javascript?

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
This is over the hundredth comment in this thread. I am using CFEclipse and am pretty happy over Dreamweaver. It's free and pretty sweet. I'm not going to complain about Adobe's choice to charge a high price for their new plugin. If and when it proves to be better than a free plugin, I'll buy it. Until then I'll stick to Aptana and CFEclipse as my primary web based Eclipse plugins. I'm just glad Adobe is scratching Dreamweaver. Had they done this sooner I would be a lot further in my development experience. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
