Re: Railo and CF8 speed contest

[dcooper]

I posted this but it hasn't been published:

It’s hardly fair to post a set of performance benchmarks without full open 
disclosure, including everything needed to reproduce the test results. 

Please post all this and I can promise you the CF team will respond (I run it).

Thanks!

Re: JReport anyone?

[dcooper]

Hmmm..how do you create reports without access to the database?  As far as RDS 
access goes, it's just HTTP over port 80, so firewall stuff shouldn't be a 
concern (don't know if that is for you or not).  

In CF8 you'll have RDS Sanboxing (limit DSN and file access to a sandbos per 
user/group) and per-user Admin access, so this can be properly locked down, 
while using the Query Builder portion of Report Builder.

Having said all that...you can aboslutely run CF Report Builder and create 
reports without RDS access...you just don't use the Query Builder.  Just tell 
the end user the schema of the query(ies) you're going to feed the report at 
runtime, and you're good to go.

RDS-free.

For CF7 & SMS info: start here.  Lots of campuses can use this, and in the case 
of the shootings last week, had a warning system bee in place it, could have 
saved lives.  

The Event Gateway architecture in CF7 is very, very fast, scalable and is 
carrier certified (passed all SMPP provider Cigular/ATT Wireless certification 
tests).  You can run American Idol on it, it's that fast and resilient, and you 
can notify your entire campus in seconds.

Re: FlashPaper vs PDF

[dcooper]

Actuall, JD, ColdFusion dynamically generates both PDF and FlashPaper SWF 
output for CF reports and CFDOCUMENT (and reports also outputs Excel and RTF, 
etc as well).

While you are correct that the "FlashPaper" product used a printer-driver 
technology, we chose a different route that yields super-high quality fonts, 
etc natively as a Flex app would, directly aseembling the documents ourselves, 
without using the proiblematic "printer driver" approach.

The FlashPaper 2 output you get as a result (espcially with the latest 
FlashPlayer 9 player) is very, very, good and very lightweight.

I normally don't bother to respond to stuff like this, since it's so plainly 
wrong, but just for the record, I can absolutely confirm that ColdFusion, Flex 
and LiveCycle are all alive and well at Adobe as part of the Enterprise and 
Developer Business Unit (EDBU) under Dave Mendels (and we have some kick-ass 
stuff in store).

Re: CF 8 feature survey

[dcooper]

This is detailed in the 7.0.2 FAQ, but since many folks don't read docs 
anymore :)

That's correct: download or buy CF7 (online or CD/box) and you'll now get the 
7.0.2 full installer.  CF 7.0.0 is no longer available for sale or download 
(except perhaps in older box copies in stock in retail channels).

1) Folks running 7.0.1 download the 7.0.2 Updater Kit.
2) Folks doing new installs of CF7 should get the Full Kit (they're 7.0.2).

Folks who are still running CF 7.0.0 either first update to 7.0.1, then 7.0.2 
OR (in the case of non-JRun J2EE installs, for example), follow the instrutions 
in the 7.0.2 Install Instructions to backup settings, undeploy, install/deploy 
7.0.2 Full Kits and restire settings.

Folks, we include security fixes in these releases that are needed to protect 
you and help keep your sites safe from actack. 

Please let anyone you know running old versions of CF to visit the CF update 
page and get current as a matter of best practice.

I did note it IS PHP :)

Re: Low-tech asychronous call to ColdFusion

[dcooper]

FYI, just doing some testing on these tags (cfthread and cfjoin) and I hope to 
have them posted on my blog today or tomorow.  They'l require CF7, but Standard 
Edition is fine (Enterprise not required).  

Using the these tags with CF7 won't give you the thread pooling and other 
fine-grained control, such as the number of dedicated threads for processing, 
etc that you get with the Async Gateway and Event Gateway architecture, but 
hopefully they'll still be useful.

Glad to see our developers used their plane ride back from CFUNITED 
constructively :)

Re: CFReport performance

[dcooper]

How big are the PDF's (MB and # pages)?  You could possibly be memory bound if 
they're very large and you could ease that by increasing MAXMEM, etc.  One 
minute (60,000 milliseconds) per PDF is a very, very long time...somethings 
definitely not right there.

Are these batched (ie one request sequentially generating 100 PDFs)?  If there 
are no or minimal interdependencies, and the large per-report time is needed 
(whatever it could be doing for a minute I don't know), but you could also look 
at using the CFML Async Gateway to run multiple batches (say 10 PDF's each) in 
parallel (be sure to bump up the "Maximun number of Report Threads" that 
ColdFusion can use to process report requests AND the Event Gateway Processing 
Threads in the in the Admin.  

Also what are the specs on the machine?  And (probably most importantly), what 
is the processing time of a very simple PDF with one qeury row from the same 
DSN, etc for comparison?  Anything especially complex about these reports (ie 
many subreports, across 500 pages, etc?)

Re: Low-tech asychronous call to ColdFusion

[dcooper]

I should add: 

1) This was built by one of our developers in his personal time, so it'd be 
unsupported by us officially, etc, but we'll see if it makes sense to post on 
something like the Adobe Exchange, etc, and/or roll into the product in a 
future update. 

2) Customers using CF7 Enterprise have this capability now with the Async 
Gateway, but this might be a nice add-on to simplify things.

Re: 7.02 BUG - getBaseTemplatePath() and CFCs / Web Services

[dcooper]

Confirmed (and undesired) change in behavior in 7.0.2:

When getBaseTemplatePath() is inside a CFC, it always returns the file system 
path for the CFC file itself, on both CFMX 7.01 and CFMX 7.02.  The output is 
the same whether it the CFC is called as a webservice or not.

The change in behavior between 7.01 and 7.02 is that when the Application.cfm 
sets a request variable equal to getBaseTemplatePath() and that variable is 
returned from a CFC function, the result is that in 7.01 the CFC file system 
path is returned but in 7.02 the Application.cfm path is returned.

We'll see what we can do for a hotfix.

Thanks for reporting!

Re: CFMX 7.0.2 Upgrade errors

[dcooper]

The installer checks to verify that CF 7.0.1 is installed.  It's a requirement 
for the "update" installers.  

There's also a "full" installer available if you're not running Server or 
"Multi-srever" configs in a J2EE deployment scenario.  See the Release Notes 
for more details.

(If you are running CF 7.0.0 in multi-server mode, you can first run the CF 
7.0.1 Updater, then the CF 7.0.2 Updater, or uninstall/reinstall the full CF 
7.0.2 kits.)

If you just wanted to try out the drivers and see if they solve your problem, 
perhaps you can install the CF7 Enterprise trial (on another machine or

Re: SMS Gateway won't start

[dcooper]

Do you hae the SMSC Test Server running (start from the Admin)?

The SMS Gateway needs to bind to an SMSC server that talks SMPP.

The test SMS Phone Client (Java app launched from your ColdFusion start menu) 
then talks to the SMSC Test Server as well.

So the order is: 

1) Start the SMSC Server fro the CF Admin
2) Start the SMS Gateway that talks to the SMSC Server
3) Start the SMS Phone Simulator

Re: More CRUD

[dcooper]

FYI, the new CF Eclipse plugins (for use with FlexBuilder 2) use RDS and 
generate both ActiveRecord and DAO-style CFC's for virtually any CF-registered 
DB datasource.

The resulting CFC code can be used independantly of the front end, although we 
generate the full Flex 2 front end app for you as well.  But you can just as 
easily use the backend CFC's and write your CFML/HTML app as usual.

Available on labs, and all you need is Eclipse installed.

Re: cflogin and load balancing

[dcooper]

Just to complete this thread, since it's been linked to by several folks:

One customer in particular had issues ad we walked them through their code 
issues.  In particular, the following problems were found that prevented 
CFLOGIN working in a clustered environment:

- There are nested cflogin tags.  
Resolution: Remove the cflogin code in login.cfm

- CFLoginUser is not executed in onRequestStart.  
Resolution: do user validation in onRequestStart instead of in login.cfm

- Checking a session variable (which is replicated in a cluster) to decide if 
login code should be executed.
Resolution: Don’t do this; always check if the cflogin scope exists (see docs 
and sample code).

Here is some example code, note that this is onRequest, not onRequestStart.  
Either will work.









select u.userid
from users u
where username = 
and password = 














For more sample CFLOGIN code, see the CF Developers Guide:

CF/Flex 2 OO/MVC/RIA/RAD Wizard = Your First Flex 2 App

[dcooper]

http://www.dcooper.org for an intro and a screencast demo by the CF team.

If you ever wanted to get into RIA's as a CF developer but didn't think it was 
for you, or thought the on-ramp was too steep, check this out.

You are guaranteed to have your first CF-powered, OO, MVC, Asynchronous, 
Hyper-RAD, ActiveRecord/CRUD, Event-Driven Flex 2 Flash 9 application created, 
against YOUR DB, and have it up and running with validation, edit masking, 
lookups, select lookup-dropdowns, with best-practice code and working in an 
Internet environment (so people don't overwrite each others code IN LESS THAN 
10 MINUTES.

Just install CF 7.0.2 + FlexBuilder + Plugins installed and follow the Wizard 
instructions.

(And then you can show your boss and take the rest of the month off.)

Enjoy.

Re: SMS in Canada?

[dcooper]

One-way SMS can be accomplished by email in most cases (a little clunky, and I 
woldn't build a production app like this, but it can be done for demonstration 
purposes).

Two-way interactive SMS (or high-volume) needs either a specialized web service 
API from an aggregator (aggregator-specific), or the use of an SMS gateway 
talking the SMPP protocol (what wireless carriers use to transfer SMS messages 
between themselves, and used by high-end TV voting apps, etc).

CF7 ships with a two-way, wireless carrier-certified SMPP Gateway.
See the Chapter 40-44 of the CF Deveopers' Guide for more info.

Re: What is High-Performance in the statement High-Performance Reporting and Document Generation

[dcooper]

Correct: Enterprise Edition takes out all all the stops...(and kicks butt 
compared to Crystal and other "Enterprise Class" Java-based reporting engine 
report generation, in our internal tests prior to CF7 ship).

Standard Edition is effectively single-threaded for doc and report generation.  
Any more than a couple simultanous docs or reports and you start to feel it.

Re: CF Mystic Beta 2 Now Available

[dcooper]

The Beta 2 installer is good for Windows "Option #1" and "Option #2" installs - 
(ColdFusion Server or ColdFusion Multi-Server configurations).  

It will not work for J2EE (even with JRun) with a manually-deployed cfusion.war 
or cfusion.ear file.

We'll try to have something put together for J2EE and non-Windows configs for 
Beta 3.

CF Mystic Beta 2 Now Available

[dcooper]

The ColdFusion/Flex Connectivity ("Mystic") Beta 2 has been released (along 
with Flex 2 Beta 2) and is now available for download on the Adobe "Labs" site 
here: http://labs.adobe.com. 

The ColdFusion/Flex Connectivity Beta 2 release represents an important 
milestone for ColdFusion customers wanting to build Rich Internet Applications 
with Flex and ColdFusion. 

With this release, not only have we improved the previously delivered support 
for the Flash Remoting Update and the Flex Asynchronous Messaging Gateway, 
we've also added support for Flex Data Services 2.0 and included the first of a 
set of Flex Builder plug-ins for ColdFusion developers that can dramatically 
improve development productivity for some key coding tasks when you are 
building ColdFusion-powered Flex applications. 

We're excited about Beta 2, and grateful for your participation. 

I believe ColdFusion + Flex 2 will empower you to quickly and easily create 
amazing new Rich Internet Applications faster and easier than with any other 
technology, anywhere. And there's more to come...we're not done yet! 

Of course, we recommend that you install Mystic Beta 2 on development and 
testing servers only at this point, but I'd encourage everyone to take Flex 2 
Beta 2 and CF Mystic Beta 2 for a spin. 

PS: Using Flex Builder 2, then adding CFEclipse and the Mystic Flex Builder 
plugins will make for a very productive environment, and will let you use RDS 
and the CF Query Builder for your FB/CFEclipse development! 

Please visit the Labs site for more information about this beta release, to 
interact directly with ColdFusion engineering and quality assurance engineers 
and other ColdFusion/Flex Connectivity beta 2 users, and to access the 
ColdFusion/Flex Connectivity Beta 2 Bug Tracker.

FYI, the CF Flex 2 Adapter Alpha bits have (as of now) been updated on the MM 
Labs site here: http://labs.macromedia.com/wiki/index.php/CF_Adapter

This "0.3" update alows the CF/Flex 2 Adapter to work well with the ColdFusion 
MX 7.0.1 CHF1 bits we released late last week.

To clarify: the hotfix is good, but the CF/Flex 2 Adapter uses an older copy of 
a class that's included in the hotfix, which causes a web service issue when 
they're both installed right now.  We'll update the CF/Flex 2 Adapter with the 
hotfix classes and re-post the Adapter next week sometime on the MM Labs site.

Yes, sorry about that. We chose the "one-off hotfix" method to deliver the Flex 
2 Adapter Alpha, and could probably have done something more sophisticated with 
more time.  

For now, yes, everything should be good to go as you are.

The general plan is to have the Flex 2 Adapter made part of the product going 
forward, so it'll be a baked-in part of the bits in the future.

Correct, you can enter your CF7 serial during install or post-install via the 
Admin.

The latest downloadable CF7 bits are 7.0.1.  You can apply the CHF1 for CFMX 
7.0.1 to that install also via the Admin on the System Information page (click 
the "Update" button).

Re: Benefits of Upgrading to MX6.1 or MX7

[dcooper]

Performance and scalability is significantly enhanced in CFMX 6.1 and CFMX7 
than CF5 or previous.  This can translate into direct HW savings for large 
sites.

Details here for CF5 vs CFMX 6.1 (CFMX7 adds a few more points on top of CFMX 
6.1): 

http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_performancebrief.pdf

(Watch the wrap)

Here's the "Statistics Summary" from the testing performed in the whitepaper:

• Windows 2000: Approximately 23 times faster than ColdFusion 4.5, 3 times 
faster than ColdFusion 5, and 2.5 times faster than ColdFusion MX
• Windows 2003: Approximately 3 times faster than ColdFusion 5
• Linux: Approximately 5 times faster than ColdFusion 5
• Solaris: Approximately 4 times faster than ColdFusion 5

Re: Cfdocument hangs

[dcooper]

Please contact me offline with an example and we can take a look.  For VREY 
large documents, CFDOCUMENT can be memory intensive for sure.

Increasing the MAX Heap Size in the CF Admin can help if you're on the edge 
(Java VM's still don't behave all that well under out-of-memory conditions, 
even years into the implementation.)

Welcome to Merrimack: An Even Better ColdFusion MX 7

[dcooper]

FYI, Macromedia has released Merrimack (the code name for the latest version of 
ColdFusion, v7.0.1) which extends platform support and refines several of the 
new features in ColdFusion MX 7. This new release builds upon the success of 
ColdFusion MX 7 and adds "polish" to what has proven to be a really incredible 
ColdFusion release.

Get an introduction to Merrimack in the http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/logged_in/dcooper_merrimack.html"; 
target=_blank>"Welcome to Merrimack: An Even Better ColdFusion MX 7" DevNet 
article.  

I'd like to especially extend a special "Welcome!" to Apple Mac OS X customers! 
 Sorry it took so long, but I think this ColdFusion release is truly the 
perfect combination of Power, Productivity and Polish you've come to love and 
expect from this excellent platform.

To all of the many Merrimack Beta testers, "Thank you!" Once again you've 
helped produce a great release (and kept us on our toes!)  

To everyone, welcome to the best release of ColdFusion ever!

Check out the following details for more information on the ColdFusion MX 7 
Updater (7.0.1):

Re: cfdocument PDF killing my jrun.exe

[dcooper]

PDF creation is definitely memory intensive.  We recently had a customer 
creating a memory-intensive 
1,500 page document and had to raise his maxheap value in the CF Admin to get 
by this.  We'll see if 
we can't get more efficiant about things going forward.

Re: Formatting text in IM Gateway

You might try sending one to your bot with formatted text and see what it comes 
across as pretty easily.  It might be that each service uses it's own scheme 
(or something standard such as RTF).

Re: Can CF do this?

fyi, here's a simple little business card designer we ship this as a simple 
sample app with ColdFuison 7 (done with simple Flash Forms):

http://www.macromedia.com/examples/cfgettingstarted/experience/snippets/Tags/cfform/examples/Business%20Card%20Wizard/index.cfm?locale=en

(mind the wrap)

It's in the Snippets Explorer if you installed Sample Apps and the "Getting 
Started Experience" when you installed ColdFusion 7.

Re: Event Gatways: session scope?

[dcooper]

Yes, both session scope and client variables are available to you in Event 
Gateway apps, including the IM gateways as well. 

Check out Chapter 44-48 in the Developing Apps book for an excellent tour and 
walkthrough of building Event Gateway apps.  Good stuff and well worth the read.

Just enable session variables and/or client variables in your app as you would 
for a web app and things should work fine.

Re: Coldfusion7 CFDocument error

[dcooper]

Yes, currently CFDCOUMENT doesn't support rendering SWF's, ActiveX's or Java 
Applets.  It's an enhancement request we have received, though and we'll 
consider for the future. 

If there's anyway to get the first frame of your SWF movie (or your diagram) 
rendered to an image (bytes or file), you could include that in your document 
just fine, and that might be the way to go.  

Can the diagram be output as an image?

Re: mx 6.1 & 7

[dcooper]

Sure, you could do that.  If you'd like CFMX7 to pick up your CF5 or CFMX6.x 
settings, then installing CFMX7 last makes that easy.

You could also have diff web server instances/sites configured to point at 
different CF versions.

Or you could use the built-in JWS if you like.

Re: MM and CFEclipse

[dcooper]

Ah, in case you missed it, Zorn is...

"...the code name for a next-generation rich Internet application development 
tool currently being built by Macromedia. Zorn will leverage the Macromedia 
Flex framework and build on the success of the Macromedia Flex Server. 
Macromedia plans to develop Zorn using the Eclipse tools platform. In 
association with this project, Macromedia recently announced that it has joined 
the Eclipse Foundation, which manages the Eclipse project."

(From http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/productinfo/faq/#item-f15)

Re: MM and CFEclipse

[dcooper]

:) yikes..all this talk of weapons and arsenals, I thought I'd repeat what we 
actually said at the conference:

We're signed up to be yet another contributor to the CFEclipse project.  That's 
pretty much it.  Just like the CF team helps support CF development in 
HomeSite+ and DW, we think it makes sense to help developers wanting to develop 
in CFEclipse have a good experience as well. There's stuff we think we might be 
able to help out with that would be difficult to do properly without us, and we 
want folks to have a good development experience with CFEclipse and CF, for 
sure. 

If you look longer term, we've already said Zorn will be Eclipse-based, so it 
might also makes sense that the CF team would be interested in helping make 
sure that if you're using an Eclipse-based environment for Zorn work, for 
example, you have a good development environment to build Zorn/CF apps in one 
space.

Again, though, we're just helping out...we don't want to own or run the 
CFEclipse project, and I think the folks running the project would tell you the 
same: we've been very respectful of their ownership of the project, and our 
position as a contributor.  We have helped come up with some ideas and 
suggestions, but not any more or less than I think any other contributor has.  
We also bring to the table some of our know-how in supporting various editors 
for CF development, we're pretty good at writing specs, managing projects, 
delivering quality code, etc, so hopefully we can help make CFEclipse better 
through our participation.  That's really the only goal.

We’ve already started the process of identifying the features that are most 
wanted/needed that we can uniquely help out with, and hopefully you’ll see 
some of this become more discussed in the next few weeks as we flush some of 
this out.

CFDOCUMENT image zooming problem not resolved with MX7 hotfix 3?

[dcooper]

The hotfix actually fixes a slightly different issue, but we do have a handle 
on the issue you describe and I believe 2 other fixes for issues people have 
run into with CFDOCUMENT.

These should be fixed addressed in the Merrimack release.  Ping me offline if 
you'd like to particpate in the Beta.

Thanks

Can CFMX 6.1 and CFMX 7 co-exist?

[dcooper]

Yes, CFMX7 was designed to co-exist peacefully with CFMX 6.1 and CF5.  

When you install CFMX7, if asked (UNIX), just point to your previous config and 
we'll copy/migrate your CF5 or CFMX6.1 settings into the new CFMX7 installation 
for you (the post-install wizard that runs the first time you log into the CF 
Administrator does this work).

The one caveat is with the web server connectors.  When installing and 
co-existence with a previous version is your goal, it's probably a good idea to 
chose the "integrated development web server" option during installation so 
your previous version's web server connectors are not replaced and still route 
".CFM" calls to the older version.  Unless, of course, you know you want to 
configure-and-go with CFMX7 right away.

You can always run "wsconfig" (Web Server config utility) from the 
{cfusion}\bin directory later and configure your web servers, and use the 
integrated web server (on default port 8500) for development and testing until 
you're ready to configure your web server with CFMX7.

You can use the CFDOCUMENT "filename" attribute to save the doc to a file, for

RE: HTML to PDF

[dcooper]

If you have a repro case, BTW, shoot it at me offline and I'd like to check it 
out.

But for manual breaking, the idea is you'll want use cfdocumentitem 
type="pagebreak" in your cfloop or whatever you're using after closing the 
table tag, then re-open the table tag after the page break.  

How dynamic the amount of data is that's being output in a particular doc table 
(affecting table row height), affects the amount of work required to close the 
table by page end and startup with a new table after issuing a page break.

The simplest case, of course, is if you have a case where table row heights 
don't vary wildly, and you can simply row-count and issue a page break after 
"N" rows.

Embedded tables, etc can add complexity of course.  

Automatically closing open tables at page break time and reprinting headers is 
on our enhancement list as well (#59306), but didn't make it into CFMX7 (maybe 
next time :)

RE: HTML to PDF

[dcooper]

For that matter, actual browsers themseleves have some differences in 
implementation and rendering complex table layouts and CSS. 

For the most part, the I think you'll find the HTML 4.01 and CSS 1 and 2 
support is very good in CFDOCUMENT and far more complete than any other 
solution, IMO.

CF7 Install woes....

[dcooper]

Signs of a corrupt installer download, unfortunately.  We're exploring a 
possible FATP site that might have better results.  Sorry about that.

RE: HTML to PDF

[dcooper]

Yeah, tracking row counts in table rendering sometimes is an imprecise science, 
but I've seen it done with good results.  It's a little discocerting for users 
to split onto a new page without new headers re-rendered on printed copy 
anyway, so oming up with a counter, ending the tabel and re-starting the table 
on the next page is probably a good thing to do for the best user experience 
anyway.  

Perhaps someone here could share their code with splitting tables at page 
breaks...

RE: HTML to PDF

[dcooper]

You'll want to make sure you have resolveURL set for the CFHTTP call, that you 
have background images enabled for CFDOCUMENT, and watch the iframes on that 
page.  I'll take a look at the result of this page in CFDOC later today, but 
those are a few tings I can think of off the top of my head.  Also, if you're 
going after images or other assets from behind a proxy, you need to setup CFDOC 
to know about it to traverse the proxy on the way to resolving the assets.

I'll post back ater today...

Not sure what "complex HTML" is, but full HTML 4.01 and CSS 1 and 2 are 
supported.  If a browser can render it, we liely can as well.  No HTML->XHTML 
re-formatting is required.

RE: HTML to PDF

[dcooper]

Hmmm...this could be a known issue where if a table cell extends across pages, 
long text or images in that table cell can get cut off if CFDOC is doing 
auto-page breaking.  It's on our radar to look at in the future, as is table 
header cell auto-duplication across pages when page breaks are encountered 
before a table is closed.  

The workaround can be to do the break using the CFDOC subtags, and things 
should render properly.

asynch cfml gateway - working example

[dcooper]

Here's a quick example of using the Asynchronous CFML Gateway that is setup to 
demonstrate a 100X performance improvement (from a user's perspective) vs 
synchronous CFML execution for long-running tasks that can be run in parallel.

Hope that helps (watch the URL wrap):

CF Precompilation filenames

[dcooper]

FYI, with CFMX7, code can be precompiled from command prompt or via a checkbox 
option in the Administrator when building and deploying standalone J2EE WAR/EAR 
files. 

Also note that (as of CFMX 6.1) we no longer compile to an intermediate Java 
source step before generating Java bytecode.  We now parse, complile and 
generate Java bytecode directly from CFML for additional comple-time 
performance and super-efficient Java bytecode, resulting in improved runtime 
performance.

async gateway issue

[dcooper]

This simple example demonstrates how to spawn and run many long-running tasks 
simultaneously using the Async CFML Gateway from a regular CFML web page, and 
creates a "synchronization point" in the CFML page that waits for all threads 
to complete before continuing.

Communication between threads in this example is done using Server variables 
(with CFLOCK).

(Watch the wrap): 
http://www.dcooper.org/blog/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=24BEF3D6-4E22-1671-55146EEC011D18D4

No, the "default value" is in effect if you do nothing, so requests will get 
killed off when the Request Timeout expires, just like with CFM requests 
processed via the web server.

This is a Devloper Edition restriction.  Me giving you an Enterprise serial 
number  is what I recall fixed it :)

30-day Evaluation mode should allow this setting to be set.

Really?  SendGatewayMessage(), man.  That's it, really. We take care of all the 
thread pooling, management, handling, etc, and you write your CFC CFML business 
logic you want to run.

Not sure if it gets any simpler than that.
