scheduled task save output to a network share
Hello, ColdFusion 10,286680 running on a Windows 2012R2 machine. I want to create a Scheduled Task. The output should be saved to a file on a network share. The network share is accessible via Windows explorer: either using the UNC notation (\\network_share) or via a mapping (F:). When I enable the option Publish on the Server Settings Add/Edit Scheduled Task page the UNC path in the field File is not accepted. Also using the mapped drive F: is not accepted. Submitting the form gives this error âIf you want to publish the result of this task, you must use an existing, valid directory name.â Using the âBrowse Serverâ button does not give me the directory - just drives: A,C and Z. Only C gives access to the C: drive. Clicking the other two driveletters do nothing. Is Coldfusion unable to save the result of a scheduled task to a network share? ~| 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:359616 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: scheduled task save output to a network share
Are you still running cf under the system account? If so then this is why, and is also insecure. I forgot to add, CF10 is _not_ running under the local system acct - it runs as a dedicated user that has access to the share. I found a solution already: file: \\myNetworkShare\path\to\networkshare is not recognized by CF admin file: myNetworkShare\path\to\networkshare is recognized by CF admin Looks like you have to escape the \\ that is part of the UNC name... I tested this, the ST ran and it created a file on this network file location ~| 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:359618 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

How to search for all occurences of a string in a text?
Hi, I have a series of texts, each of which I want to search for the occurence of links to images. From each text I want to extract image filenames that end on one of these strings: .gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.bmp Searching a text containing the string img src=http://my.domain.com/path/to/images/testimg.gif; would give me testimg.gif, searching a text containing the strings img src=http://my.domain.com/path/to/images/testimg.gif; img src=http://my.domain.com/path/to/images/testimg.jpg; img src=http://my.domain.com/path/to/images/testimg.png; would give me testimg.gif,testimg.jpg,testimg.png I think REFindNoCase is most suitable for this since it's the only CF function that lets me search for multiple occurences of a pattern I know of. I can't get it to match _all_ occurences of the string I'm looking for. The regular expression I use: (img src ?= ?[|'][https?://]?[a-zA-Z0-9_\-/\\\.^\.jpg]+\.jpg)\s?(\1)* I do this: REFindNoCase(RE,string,1,true) where RE is the above regular expression and string is the string containing 3 img tags with an .jpg resource. This gives me an array containing the starting position and the length of the _first_ element in the string that matches with the regular expression. I can't get it to include all matches in the string. Is my regular expression wrong or is it not possible what I want?

Webservice not recognized
Hi,
Abstract:
When I make a call to a webservice in a development environment I get a
response as expected. Funny thing is, if I make the exact same call to the same
template on a different machine (the testing environment) it does not work.
Elaboration:
when I make a call in my development environment to this remote method:
{hostname}/template/skins/auc/edit/RemoteHomepageEditService.cfc?method=loadHomepageAdvertisement
I note 2 things:
1 I get the requested data. In Firebug's Net tab under the request's line
'Html' tab I see the Json response this method returns.
2 If I add cfdump var=#this#cfabort in the body of the method I see a
dump of the component in firebug as expected.
If I follow the same scenario in a testing environment
(call
{hostname}/template/skins/auc/edit/RemoteHomepageEditService.cfc?method=loadHomepageAdvertisement
1 I see in Firebug's Net tab under the request line 'Html' nothing (stays
blank, no data returned).
2 If I add cfdump var=#this#cfabort in the body of the method I _don't_
see a dump of the method in Firebug. The HTML and Response tab are empty and
the Ext component that issued the call is eternally waiting for data.
BUT
If I put the cfdump var=#this#cfabort in the pseudo-constructor area of
the cfc (still on the faulty testing environment) I _do_ get a dump of a cfc in
Firebug but it is not a dump of RemoteHomepageEditService.cfc but of
Application.cfc in the root of the application!
So the component I call is found on both environment but it behaves as if it is
Application.cfc. only on te testing environment.
I tried removing the extends attribute of the component and minimizig to
cfcomponent but that makes no difference. The cfdump still outputs a dump
of the Application.cfc instead of itself (RemoteHomepageEditService.cfc)
Any hints?

Re: Webservice not recognized
Solved! Turned out that all I needed was an Application.cfc in the same folder as the remote component. That Application extends the /Application.cfc and clears the implicit behaviors (onRequest() etc).

Re: Charge for meetings
I've done botha, and I vote iterative as well. Velocity seems to stay higher, and you can still make the bean counters happy by regularly discussing overall budget, timeline, and number/complexity of changes. It may not work for all clients, but I'd definitely encourage defining and trying both methods. Sean, it would be interesting to learn what source code repository + ticketing system you use. You can't budget on pay us $X an hour and we'll see where it goes. That's how a lot of agile practitioners do work tho'... very successfully (for both them and their clients). But I agree it doesn't work for all clients. ~| 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:341928 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
Or it could be seen as a negative sign that after ten years CF still hasn't been able to shake off the cf is dying stigma. True this. Scour the web - how many other languages have their devoted developers constantly asking this same question over and over? PHP? Ruby? Java? Etc.? Some HAVE actually died in the broadest sense of the word, by being about as low on the technologies chosen for new projects totem pole, but their communities just keep chugging away without a peep, like factory worker children. It's pretty funny how us CFers are always looking in the mirror like some collective Stuart Smalley or something. I haven't used CF9 yet (gasp! He's not on the bandwagon! GET HIM!!), but I know and have come to accept the limitations of CF8 and earlier, and I still make a huge, comfortable living writing useful code in this language. I'll just start to feel good again when someone on one of my favored lurk lists will hold up that damned mirror. CFer's, listen up! You're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You!! ;) Tongue in cheek, of course. ~| 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:340904 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

LOL Stuart Smalley, 2000-present:
I don't know what I'm doing. They're gonna cancel the show {kill my

overweight.
Let's balance it out... I was recently reminded by a relative of this useful

Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
I'm probably going to embarass the s#$t out of myself now, but.. I wrote a painfully long, meandering, stream-of-consciousness blog post on this a couple years ago. I was frustrated, angry, worried, and felt like after years of trying, I had wasted a LOT of time. http://www.advantexllc.com/blog/post.cfm/how-oo-almost-destroyed-my-business Since then, well... I've managed to get the advanced features and OO religion a little more under control. It helped that I switched to a framework that was both simple AND still promoted good OO practices, yet stayed out of my way when I needed to get something done. I'm still learning, but that's the mantra of OO... you never really get it all. Someone once told me that saying you Know OO is like saying you Know Science... it's just such a broad subject and there are always new problems that can be solved any number of ways. ColdFusion is still very easy. Someone else here already said it -- don't solve problems you don't have... if OO isn't called for, even if an entire framework would be overkill... then don't use it. As far as jobs, don't worry about not having one until you don't have one... BUT, pick another language and learn it... one that (also) has market value. For me, I chose to switch from Fusebox (where v3 was the last one with which I had efficient success) to CFWheels. It was attractive because of how it mimics RoR... and if I get time (since I'm so busy with my CF jobs, no lie!!) to actually study RoR, there will now be quite an element of familiarity for me. Aside from being well supported, well coded, and well documented, CFWheels is also a nice gateway drug if you will. Don't let the design pattern police make OO a religion. Choose a framework, when a project appears to be a certain depth, that makes OO in CF as easy as it can be (and remember it's still painfully lacking compared to true OO languages), a framework that helps foster good OO practices WHERE APPROPRIATE. Don't force it, especially with CF... it's a PITA when you go too deep down the rabbit hole with it. My position has changed only a little since my ranting, blog post... but I have been able to start using OO in a bit more sensible way, given the limitations of CF, with the help of CFW and the smart and kind community over yonder. Hope this helps.

How do I get a save/download window using Ajax?
Hi,
I have a page with a print button. When I click that button, a pdf is generated
by CF and sent to the client using cfdocument, mime-type application/pdf and a
header content-disposition so that the pdf is treated as an atachment. That
works fine if I don't use Ajax. But I can't get this to work using Ajax.
I try to do this using this Jquery:
function printInvoice(){
$.ajax({
url:/?event=invoice.print,
data:{invoiceId:$(input[name=invoiceId]).attr(value)},
success:function(data){location.href=/?event=invoice.list;},
async:false,
type:get
});
location.href=/?event=invoice.list;
return false;
}
As you can see, when the pdf is retrieved the onsuccess callback should refresh
the page. This refreshing does work but the pdf is not displayed - I don't get
a window asking me if I want to save or view the attachment I get when not
using Ajax.
How can I get this to work?
Marc
fwiw - I use ModelGlue 3.1 and CF 9.0.1 on Mac OS X. JQuery 1.4.2

pdf creation hell
Hi, I create a pdf from cf-generated HTML. Part of it is a table with numbers. Most of the table cells contain input type=text with text or numbers inside. I want the fields with numbers in one of the columns to be right-aligned so it is easy to see how they ad up but I am unable to do so. When I view the page (that is to be rendered as pdf) in the browser the numbers are perfectly right-aligned. But when the pdf is generated from that same html/css, the numbers are either left-aligned or centered. I use an included style sheet. The css rule I use to right-align text is text-align:right. I use that in a style I apply to the input field in the table cells. This is my cfdocument tag: cfdocument name=invoice format=PDF pagetype=A4 fontembed=false fontembed=yes gave me the same problem. The rest of the pdf looks Ok so the pdf generator has no problem with the HTML. Just this text - align part. I use CF 9.0.1 on Mac OS X with apache 2.2 Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Re: manipulating Excel files
I am aware of the POI utility. Would appreciate an answer to my question if possible. I don't think it's as simple as converting from binary to text and back again (as you've discovered). There's no guarantee that there'll be a one-to-one correspondence between the content of the binary file and the content of the text you pull out. If there were, utilities like POI that understand the binary representation wouldn't be all that useful.

Re: manipulating Excel files
There's no guarantee that there'll be a one-to-one correspondence between the content of the binary file and the content of the text you pull out. Yes, I figure it has to do with the way binary files like Excel are laid out. If it were straight as I supposed I should be able to do the conversion like I tried. My question was just out of curiosity why the readbinary-translateToHex-replaceHex-writeBinary method didn't work. I'll look in to the POI utility later.

manipulating Excel files
Hi, recently I wanted to stream an Excel file from the server to a client browser. Before streaming it to the user, I wanted to replace some placeholders in the file (like name,place) with their actual values (#user.name#,#user.place#). So this was the setup: 1 read binary (.xls) template file 2 read binary data and replace every occurence of the placeholder with it's actual value 3 stream the binary data to the client using cfcontent variable=... This cannot be done without converting the binary Excel data to a text format. So I tried BinaryEncode(binaryData,Hex). This gave me the binary data in Hexadecimal format. Then I translated the placeholder (e.g. name) to it's hex representation. Then translated the actual value (e.g. marc) to it's hex representation. Then I did a ReplaceNoCase(a,b,c) where a=the binarydata in HEX format, b=the place holder in hex format, c=the actual value in hex format Then I translated a back to binary using ToBinary() This didn't work since, as I found out, the hexadecimal value for the place holder was never found in the converted binary data (in ReplaceNoCase(a,b,c) ). Why is this approach not working? Is it possible at all to find and replace text values in an excel file this way - so without using things like POI utility? Btw Translating the file to xml is not an option since it contains graphics which are not supported in this format. I do this in CF 8 on WinXP Thanks, Marc ~| 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:336606 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
WAY WAY OT: Book Readers, and your own words
This is way OT, won't blame anyone a bit if you want to tell me to go pound salt... but you're a creative bunch and we've struggled with this long enough. The situation: Rock band with over 4 hours of music... lots of lyrics. Frequent set changes, meaning that standard 3-ring-binder full of lyrics has to get re-arranged in order to step through a show. Lyrics MOSTLY memorized, but nice to have on stage as back-up for brainfart moments. The Idea: An eBook reader, like a Kindle or some such device, that can flip pages by touching the screen, placed on music stand. Lyrics all assembled in a Word doc, rendered in whatever format necessary to view on said device. Words appearing on screen large enough to be viewed without having to be too up-close-and-personal with the device. Anyone have experience with eBook readers like the Kindle, and is it possible to get your own file(s) onto such a device so that one could simply modify the files when the sets change, and place on the device for performances? Any other ideas? We continue to add songs and tweak the set list order, and it's making the vocalist insane having to keep her book up-to-date. Mine too.

Re: (ot) Mail servers
SmarterMail has been GREAT. I switched from a customized qmail solution, and smartermail can handle joe-jobs really well, has great anti-spam configuration and customization per-domain, and uses ClamAV for killing viruses dead. Outbound spam mitigation too. Combined with the ActiveSync license, it works flawlessly with my Droid/touchdown app as far as push technology goes. Can't recommend it enough, and no, I don't work for SmarterTools. For those out there who actually run e-mail servers for your clients, I'm curious what you're running and how happy you are with it. We're currently using modusMail for Windows here, but it's been years since I took a look at the e-mail server landscape. So what's hot right now? SmarterMail? MDaemon still around?

Re: Seriously PO'd - cfqueryparam and/or struct dereference flakes out
Thanks everyone, You were all correct - god help me I was actually focusing on the error CF gave me, trusting that alone. Go figure. What a rotten thing to do! :) A different value was the culprit, and the suggestion below absolutely applies. Thank you all so much -- this is what happens when we get tired, and I always appreciate the fresh perspective of the community during such times! It's a bit more code, but if you switch to having a cfargument tag for each parameter and enforce the type there, you can pass in your struct as an argument collection.

The function below was written literally MONTHS ago. Worked fine the whole time, even today... then suddenly it's throwing the error: Invalid data '' for CFSQLTYPE CF_SQL_INTEGER.

Next, I purposely set the output=true on this function, and did a cfdump of #a.articleId# -- it's definitely a valid integer. but it's now choking on it for some reason. as a test, i hard coded an article id into the where clause, removing the cfqueryparam. with a hard coded number, it chokes on the next cfqueryparam up. if i reference #a.articleId# directly (outside of cfqueryparam), I also get the same error. how can a.articleId suddenly become '' right after dumping it and successfully showing it to be an integer??

Re: IE8 is killing my website
This seems to only be a problem on Windows XP. Myself nor my clients have problems with IE8 on Vista or Windows 7. I believe our problem involves XP, Vista, and 7, though I'll need to go back through some of the debug output that some of the problem users have sent. Are your users on a network on an Active Directory domain with a domain policy? If the Server hasn't been updated with the new IE8 policies, then it defaults to the IE7 policies which are different than IE8. No idea - these are all public visitors at various locations. In the Internet options, particularly the Privacy tab, the Medium setting restricts 1st party cookies that save information that can be used to contact you without consent. This setting is default in IE8. What do they classify as information that can be used to contact you without consent -- is there a specific list of things that the cookies are analyzed to contain, to meet that criteria? If you're using an older version of CF server than 8, it may be time to think about upgrading. I have not had any issues with IE8 on any Windows platform with 1st party cookies. We are on CF8. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: IE8 is killing my website
What security zone is your site in, in the affected browsers? Are the cookies the standard CF session tokens (CFID/CFTOKEN or JSESSIONID)? Or are you doing something else? Are you setting the cookies for the same host that the user is visiting? Dave Watts Security zone is usually the defaults from what i can tell. CFID/CFTOKEN are the tokens in use. I thought about switching to JSESSIONID, but I've never done it, and have no idea how it would affect the app or all the apps on the server. Advice on that is welcome, of course... it's it a transparent switch? I assume all existing cookie-holding users would be logged out...

Re: IE8 is killing my website
If you can convince a gracious user to let you, maybe try debugging the cookie settings process on their machine? Might have to go so far as doing FF plugins and whatnot, but maybe something simple like having it prompt to set cookies will shed light on what's happening? FWIW, I've seen cookie setting problems when the cookiePath wasn't rewritten, if you're doing URL rewrites-- but you'd have been having problems before IE8 if that was the case. Here's to hoping the meta-tag fixes it! :den Did in fact observe two or three users. In all cases, the cookie simply wasn't being set (through observation of the Temporary Internet Files folder). In each case, eventually it just started working -- after trying several different things -- with no consistency as to which thing worked in any of the cases. I don't believe this is a CFLOCATION or URL rewrite issue... users are all at the correct domain from the start. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: IE8 is killing my website
There are very few transparent switches in any computing environment, unfortunately. AGREED!! The same goes for life, LOL :) I would recommend that you try to set CFID and CFTOKEN as non-persistent cookies, instead of just switching to JSESSIONID (although I'd recommend that also, in the long run). You can do that by writing the cookies yourself in Application.cfc/cfm. I think I know what you mean by writing these cookies myself... but can you show me via some code?

Generating multiple pdf in a loop design problem
Hi,
I have a client that wants to be able to print certificates (pdf's) for their
clients. What I do is retrieving a query resultset.
Then i use cfdocument:
cfdocument
format=PDF
pageType=A4
margintop=0
marginbottom=0
marginright=0
marginleft=0
unit=cm
backgroundvisible=no
overwrite=no
fontembed=yes
scale=100
Then within a cfoutput tag I have html to position the dynamic content from
myQueryResultset along with static content (texts and images). I use styles to
position divs.
I use an htmlvalidator to validate my html and it validated ok.
This works fine when my query resultset contains 1 row: I get 1 pdf with all
content in the correct position.
But when myQueryResultset contains multiple rows I get multiple pdfs but the
layout of the pdfs gets messed up:
The first pdf is empty, on subsequesnt pdfs the position of the divs is changed
and also their relative position changed.
Excerpt of the stylesheet I use:
style type=text/css
body{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
..Ondergetekenden {
position: absolute;
top: 114mm;
left: 30mm;
font-size: 13pt;
}
..Cursist {
position: absolute;
top: 131mm;
left: 30mm;
font-size: 26pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
..Geboren {
position: absolute;
width: 20 cm;
top: 153 mm;
left: 30 mm;
font-size: 13pt;
}
Some other things:
HTML validates OK;
Including the styles in a style block or including it as an external style
sheet makes no difference.
Do I have to use tables instead of divs? Do I have to use inches to position
divs instead of mm? Inline styles? Also specify bottom attribute in the styles?
I hope someone can point me in the right direction to render pdfs correctly.
Thanks,
Marc

Clearing task queue for cfthreads
Hi guys, I have been working at learning to use the tag cfthread in order to update information from a large text file into a table. The text file is not formatted correctly to use a bulk insert process in SQL. Anyways, I have reached the maxxed capacity for the task queue and was wondering how I can clear the tasks out or do I have to wait for it to do it itself.

How to uninstall coldfusion on ubuntu 8.04
Hi, I am moving from Windows XP to Ubuntu 8.04 andstill have a few hurdles to take. I installed the multiuser version of Coldfusion 8.01 using an external webserver (Apache). This didn't work. Now I want to uninstall CF, reinstall CF using the built in webserver and then connect to Apache. However I can't see an option to uninstall CF and coming from windows I am used to uninstall software first before reinstallnig it. Do I have to uninstall CF first before reinstalling it or do I just install again?

Re: Application.names and sessions
Sounds plausible. I checked my session variables from the debugging window and I found values for CFID CFTOPKEN sessionId jsessionId the values of these variables do _not_ change when I go from Application A to Application B and vice versa. To check I do: in Application A: cfset session.test=test app a cfdump var=#session# label=#APPLICATION.applicationname# Here session.test show the value test Application a and in Application B cfdump var=#session# label=#APPLICATION.applicationname# cfabort When requesting a page in Application B there is no session.test So it looks like Coldfusion uses the same session variables (CFID,CFTOKEN,sessionId,JsessionId) for 2 different applications but underneath they are 2 different memory pools. Why I want to know this is because I want to retain some information when switching between Application A and Application B. In Application A I login, if I then request a page from Application B I want Application B to see I'm already logged in (sort of Single Sign on). So in App A I log in; I store the jsessionId along with a value 1 for login in a table users:login; I send id=#jsessionId# as a URL parameter to the request of a page in App B; in App B I lookup the value of login using the value of URL.id; If found I know I'm logged in and change users:login to the value of jsessionId in Application B. If I go back to app A I do the same check on table users:login so I don't lose my login status when I switch from App A to App B and vice versa, So this works event thouigh the ids for Application A and Application B are identical... Is this a failsafe approach? I don't knowe much about SSO so I am curious about your comments.

Application.names and sessions
Just for my understanding about applicationname and sessions. If I have a file named /appA/index.cfm with an Application.cfc in the same folder and this Application.cfc specifies THIS.name=A in the constructor area and if I request a page from this directory for the 1st time, onSessionStart fires and sessioncookies are set with the client. From then on, whenever I request a page from the same domain that is preceded by this Application.cfc (with THIS.name=A in the constructor area) the same session gets used (until it times out). An applicationname is merely used to tag a set of variables to belong together. (What Is A ColdFusion Application? by Ben Nadel) Right? So what happens if I request a page on the same domain but in another folder (say /appA/appB that has its own Application.cfc in that same folder (/appA/appB) but this one specifies THIS.name=B in the constructor area? I thought: since the Application.cfc specifies another THIS.name, onsessionstart gets fired, new sessioncookies are sent in the response and as long as I request pages that are preceded by this Application.cfc I use this session. I had a setup like this but found out to my surprise that when I switch from the 1st to the 2nd scenario (using the application.cfc with THIS.name=B), the value for session.sessionId did not change. And all my sessionvariables were still there.

OT - Apache Mod Rewrite
Hello,
This question is about an Apache configuration problem I have recently. I hope
someone can help here!
In order to view the websites I develop locally easily I set up Apache mod
rewrite to map a url to a directory on the local filesystem. This way I do not
have to make a Virtual directory for every project but the URL is being
rewritten to map to a directory on the local system. Here's the setup:
I set up an A record in the DNS of my domain to point back to the local machine
wjenI use a special prefix in the URL:
*.local 127.0.0.1
(saying every subdomain ending with .local is to be redirected to localhost)
I set up Apache's httpd.config Mod Rewrite like this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
(remove the comment - # - sign)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)\.local.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (/.*) D:/www/wwwroot/%1/$1
(saying: every request ending on local.mydomain.com has to be rerouted to the
directory D:/www/wwwroot/whatever preceded .local.mydomain.com/whatever
followed.local.mydomain.com)
This worked fine: if I had a directory d:/www/shipyards/q.cfm all I had to
enter in my address bar was http://shipyards.local.mydomain.com/ q.cfm and
q.cfm was served.
Until yesterday, the same url (http://shipyards.local.mydomain.com/q.cfm) only
gives me this response

I have no idea why the web browser doesn't recognize these requests anymore and
there is nothing that comes to mind I might have changed that caused this
behaviour. I tried setting up Virtual Hosts to circumevent the problemn but
there Apache won't start for other errors in the config file. And actually I
want the situations with Mod rewrite back as before.
Can anyone here help me out?
Thanks!

Convrt Access to Excel via XML

onSessionend never fires
The subject says it all- I can't get my onSessionend to execute. For testing, all I do is a call to a log file. The sessionTimeout is 2 secs. I hit the page. Wait 2 secs. Hit the page again. Switch over to the Coldfusion administrator to the logging page. There is no log by the name of onSessionEnd as specified. What can be the reason? Here's the code. Application.cfc: cfcomponent extends components.ApplicationRoot cfcomponent ApplicationRoot: cfset THIS.applicationTimeOut=CreateTimeSpan(2,0,0,0)\ cfset THIS.sessionmanagement=true cfset THIS.setclientcookies=true cfset THIS.sessionTimeOut=CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,2) cffunction name=onSessionEnd access=public description=perform actions on session end output=false cfargument name=sessionscope type=struct cfargument name=applicationscope type=struct cflog file=onSessionEnd application=true text=hello, this session has ended /cffunction You see I use a root Application.cfc that has all shared functionality. I only overide specific parts (like THIS.name) in the extending Application.cfc components Oh, if I explicitly call onSessionEnd in Application.cfc via createobject* the code executes correctly ansd a log by ythe name of onSessionEnd is created.

Extending Application.cfc using a mapping question
Hello,
I have a folder components off the webroot. I have 2 applications, A and B,
both in their own webroot. I want both of them to extend the Application.cfc in
the folder components. So:
D:www/components/ApplicationRoot.cfc
is extended by
D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationA/Application.cfc and
D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationB/Application.cfc.
To get this working I put this in D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationA/Application.cfc:
cfcomponent extends=components.ApplicationRoot. output=false
cfset THIS.name=#HTTP.REMOTE_HOST#
cfset THIS.mappings={}
cfset THIS.mappings[/components]=D:/www/components
/cfcomponent
But when I request /ApplicationA/nidex.cfm all I get is
Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface components.ApplicationCMS.
Am I doing somehing wrong here?
Thanks,
Marc

Extending Application.cfc using mappings
Hello,
I want to extend ApplicationCMS.cfc I have in an off-webroor folder. I am on a
shared hosting environment so I want to create my mappings in Application.cfc,
not in Cfadministrator. The mappings are not recognized this way. When I create
a mapping in the administrator (locally) it works. Here is the setup:
D:/www/components/ApplicationCMS.cfc
will be extended by
D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationA/Application.cfc and
D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationB/Application.cfc
In D:/www/wwwroot/ApplicationA/Application.cfc I put:
cfcomponent extends=components.ApplicationCMS output=false
cfset THIS.name=#HTTP.REMOTE_HOST#
cfset THIS.local = CGI.REMOTE_HOST eq 127.0.0.1
cfset THIS.mappings={}
cfset THIS.mappings[/components]=D:/www/components
/cfcomponent
If I request /ApplicationA/index.cfm I get
Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface
components.ApplicationCMS.
Apparently the mappping is not working. Does anyone know how it can be fixed?

Re: Extending Application.cfc using mappings
sorry for the double posting - it takes a while before posts get through here so I thought it got lost somehow (or I didn't post at all...). I googled and found this on http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-beta/browse_thread/thread/7ec1c03df22675af suggesting mappings don't work with the extend keyword. Application Specific Mappings are a furphy and do not work as advertised in CF8. It appears that cfimport and extends do not adhere to application specific mappings as defined in Application.cfc in the same way they do to CFIDE based cf mappings. The two types of mapping despite having the same name are very different in practice. As we use inheritance and cfimport a great deal in FarCry this makes using this feature near impossible. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304645 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Session variables expiration issue
Hello, Just a basic question about session variables.I can't get them to 100% work as I want. Maybe I don't understand so that's when it's time to turn to the list :) I want to use session variables that expire a) when the user closes the browser OR b) when a session times out,whatever comes first. For a) I do (all in Application.cfc): cfset THIS.sessionmanagement=yes cfset THIS.sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10)# cfset THIS.setclientcookies=false and cffunction name=onSessionStart access=public description=initialize session parameters output=false returntype=void cfcookie name=CFID value=#SESSION.CFID# cfcookie name=CFTOKEN value=#SESSION.CFTOKEN# cfreturn / /cffunction This makes that sessions expire when user closes browser. For b) add the expires tag to CFCOOKIE with the value specified in THIS.sessiontimeout: if the user does a request _after_the specified timeout period, the CFID/CFTOKEN cookies are not valid anymore (expires has a datetime value that is in the past) so coldfusion will create new values for SESSION.CFID and SESSION.CFTOKEN and call onSessionStart. Setting 2 new cookies with new values for value and expires. cffunction name=onSessionStart access=public description=initialize session parameters output=false returntype=void cfcookie name=CFID value=#SESSION.CFID# expires=#THIS.sessiontimeout# cfcookie name=CFTOKEN value=#SESSION.CFTOKEN# expires=#THIS.sessiontimeout# cfreturn / /cffunction To test this I added cfdump var=#SESSION# to the onRequest() function. It turned out that the values displayed in the dump did never change after a 2nd whether that request was within the timespan OR after. That's strange. I thought that if the 2nd request is after the timepout period new values for CFID/CFTOKEn are generated. Am I wrong? And if so, is it possible what I want?

Re: Session variables expireation issue
Ok, I found the cause: onSessionStart() cfset THIS.sessionTimeout = #CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10)# cfoutput#THIS.sessionTimeout #/cfoutput outputs 10. Which means 10 days since the createTimespan() function returns units of days (eg CreateTimespan(1,0,0,0)eq 1 and CreateTimespan(0,12,0,0) eq 0.5) onApplicationStart() THIS.sessiontimeout=CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10) cfoutput#THIS.sessiontimeout#/cfoutput outputs 0.000115740740741 which equals 10 secs. Why the same variable (THIS.sessiontimeout) gives a different value in the onApplicationStart() and onSessionStart() handler is beyound me. If I cfdump the THIS scope in both handlers they are identical except for the value of sessiontimeout and applicationtimeout.

Re: Application scope not recognized in onError()
Is it possible that the error happens during application startup? In this case, the application scoped variable would not be defined yet. -- Josh Yes I figured already out that was the problem. If I look at the processed templates in the executiontab of the debugwindow I see that only Application.cfc:onapplicationStart() was processed before the onerror method gets called.

Re: APPLICATION scope unknown in Application.cfc
Hi Brian,
You're right, I put the question wrong. Sorry about that.
The issue is this:
if I define 2 mappings like this
cfset THIS.mappings={}
cfset THIS.mappings[/components]=D:\www\components
cfset THIS.mappings[/includes]=D:\www\includes
outside onApplicationstart() but inside the constructor area and I later use
them with CreateObject() the components are instantiated correctly.
But if I put those 3 lines inside the onApplicationStart() and use
APPLICATION.mappings instead of THIS.mappings like this:
cffunction name=onApplicationStart
cfset APPLICATION.mappings={}
cfset APPLICATION.mappings[/components]=D:\www\components
cfset APPLICATION.mappings[/includes]=D:\www\includes
cfset APPLICATION.objects = {}
cfset APPLICATION.objects.security =
CreateObject('component','components.security')
I get the errormessage
Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface components.security.
when the line with CreateObject() is read. That line processed OK when using
the 1st method. I wonder why this is. Do mappings have to be stored in the THIS
scope of Application.cfc?

Element DSN.USERS is undefined in THIS
Hello,
I have this call:
cfset APPLICATION.objects.db =
CreateObject('component','components.db').init(dsn_users='users',dsn_guestbook=guestbook,dsn_irama=irama,maxStringLength=25)
This is the method definition:
cffunction name=init access=public output=no returntype=any
cfargument name=dsn_users required=false default=users
cfargument name=dsn_guestbook required=false default=guestbook
cfargument name=dsn_irama required=false default=irama
cfargument name=maxStringLength required=false default=25
cfset this.dsn.users=#arguments.dsn_users#
cfset this.dsn.guestbook=#arguments.dsn_guestbook#
cfset this.dsn.irama=#arguments.dsn_irama#
cfset this.maxStringLength=#arguments.maxStringLength#
cfreturn this
/cffunction
When later I call another method in this cfc and refer to the value of
this.dsn.users I get the errormessage:
Element DSN.USERS is undefined in THIS
Strange because:
a) I set the value of this.dns. in the init method _and_ return it;
b) the init method has a returnvalue of any (path.of.component or this
gives same result);
c) when cfdumping the variable that holds the reference to the cfc it is not
empty - all the methods are there. Seems like it's lost it's instance data...
Does anybody know whats wrong here?
Thanks,
Marc

Ok, that was the problem! Just before where I do a call to the function in the cfc I did a cfinvoke and called on the resultvar of that operation. The init() method had not been invoked. I did this because Godaddy is not supporting Createobject() so I had to rewrite parts of the app and obviously didn't bother to rewrite all... :S Anyway thanks for pointing me to this!

some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
Hi, I'm having a strange issue and I need some help resolving it
I have design a complete CFM shopping cart with auto generate discount coupon
and lots of other features however a small thing still generate a major issue
using + / - sign the customer can increase or decrease the ordered quantity of
a particular item
it is working fine when only 1 item is on the shopping cart if several item are
in it
increasing or decreasing the value of 1 of them will effect the all product
quantity in the cart
where am I wrong
cfelseif Isdefined ('FORM.plus_button.y')
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(SESSION.cart)# index=i
cfset SESSION.cart[i].quantite =
#IncrementValue(#SESSION.cart[i].quantite#)# /
/cfloop
cflocation url=contenu_commande.cfm
cfelseif Isdefined ('FORM.moins_button.y')
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(SESSION.cart)# index=i
cfset SESSION.cart[i].quantite =
#decrementValue(#SESSION.cart[i].quantite#)# /
cfif SESSION.cart[i].quantite LTE 1
cfset SESSION.cart[i].quantite = 1 /

Re: some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your prompt answer ,
In deed I do loop in to all the Session content, but how can I provent that
before I did add that increase / decrease feature , customers add to manualy
change the quantity field value to upgrade it and it was working and not
affecting the all session content
the code was
cfelseif Isdefined ('FORM.update_button.y')
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(SESSION.cart)# index=i
cfset SESSION.cart[i].quantite = FORM[quantite_ i] /
/cfloop
cflocation url=contenu_commande.cfm
the only thing I did is to duplicate the fucntion and add the increase /
decrease build in function to it.
thank you for your help

CFPARAM doesn't work as expected
In Applicationb.cfm I have these lines:
cfparam name=APPLICATION.objects.security
default=#CreateObject('component','components.security').init(authorization='public',language=Left(CGI.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE,2))#
cfparam name=APPLICATION.objects.util
default=#CreateObject('component','components.util')#
cfparam name=APPLICATION.objects.db
default=#CreateObject('component','components.db').init(dsn='irama',maxStringLength=25)#
cfparam name=APPLICATION.objects.cms
default=#CreateObject('component','components.cms').init()#
First time the page gets requested, there's nothing in the APPLICATION scope so
the lines CreateObject().init*() are executed. On subsequent calls the
APPLICATION scope contains all the objects so I expect that the default values
(CreateObject().init()) don't get assigned.
But they do! I put a cfdump in the init handler and _every_ time a page gets
requested it gets executed. So every time my objects get initialized and
previous data is lost.
I thought cfparam only assigns the default value if the variable doesn't exist
but here it executes it every time.
Is this a bug or as designed?

The required parameter APPLICATION.objects.db was not provided. IS!

Because I want to speed up access to calls to a component I put it in the
application scope. First I have to be sure it's there and if not, put it there.
So in application.cfm I do this:
cfparam name=APPLICATION.objects.db
default=#CreateObject('component','components.db').init(dns='myDNS')#
But then I get an erromessage:
The required parameter APPLICATION.objects.db was not provided.
This page uses the cfparam tag to declare the parameter APPLICATION.objects.db
as required for this template. The parameter is not available. Ensure that you
have passed or initialized the parameter correctly. To set a default value for
the parameter, use the default attribute of the cfparam tag.

Anybody knows whats wrong here???

Simple AJAX request in Prototype gives bad result
Hi,
I installed the prototype (v1.5.1). With body onload=... it calls a function
that looks up 2 parameters in a db and returns true/false if found/not found
This is the Ajax request:
function doAjax(){
var url = 'modules/login.cfc?method=logincheck';
var pars = 'username=marcpassword=123';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
method: 'get',
parameters: pars,
onComplete: showResponse
});
}
function showResponse(originalRequest){
alert(originalRequest.responseText);
}
It gives me a huge alert that is empty but too big to fit on the screen.
So I did this:
alert(originalRequest.responseText.replace( ,)):made no diffrence.
Maybe the cfc gave an error or something? To check I typed this in the browser:
http://irama.local/modules/login.cfc?method=logincheckusername=marcpassword=123
gave 'true'
To check extra I typed
http://irama.local/modules/login.cfc?method=logincheckusername=marcpassword=1233
gave 'false' (is not in db)
I put cfsilesnt around method logincheck(): no difference
I put cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes: no difference
The page from which the call is made is /index.cfm
The cfc that is called in the Ajax request is located in: /modules/login.cfc
I'm out of options here. What am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Marc

Query with dynamic criterias?
Hi, I have the following problem that I can't solve: A customer can view deliveries from/to multiple companies. I have set up the system to get all the companies this customer is allowed to see delivery from/to. !--- get the customer companies query --- cfquery name=custCompanies datasource=CATS_BE_SQL SELECT Supplier FROM calmweb_CustFinal WHERE CC_CustID = #CustId#; /cfquery I have a query that retrieve all the deliveries: cfquery name=getDeliveries datasource=CATS_BE_SQL SELECT * FROM calmweb_NextDeliveries WHERE (Cust LIKE '#custCompanies.Supplier#%') ORDER BY ETA ASC /cfquery At this stage, the system only retrieves the deliveries for the first(top 1) record on getDeliveries. It doesn't go to the next Supplier name. I tried to put the getDeliveries query inside a loop for the custCompanies, but it then only retrieves the deliveries for the last record (if no ORDER BY is given). I tried to put a WHERE (cfloop..) but of course, coldfusion rejected it. How can I fix this? I tried to put the getDeliveries query inside a loop for the custCompanies, but it then only retrieves the deliveries for the last record (if no ORDER BY is given). Thanks for all the help some of you can provide. ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285646 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: Query with dynamic criterias?
Hi Charlie, Thanks for the help. Coldfusion doesn't complain, but I have all the result coming up, not just the ones from my criterias. I should have a total of 4 results and I have the entire 22 records coming up. When I do a filter directly in SQL with the criterias, I have only 4 coming up, which are correct. Something isn't exactly right. I effectively need the wildcard on the Supplier%... I tried also to create a whereclause string, but in this case I have either no single quotes or two single quotes showing... very frustrating. If you have an idea why I get all the records, I would love to know. Thanks a lot for a so quick response.

RE: Query with dynamic criterias?
Hi Charlie, The problem seems to be with the OR 1=1 statement. It should read AND 1=1. It accept always True otherwise and all records have this. Thanks.

RE: Query with dynamic criterias?
Hi Brian, First is that I have no idea how to do that. The solution has been found anyway. But I would like to know how to achieve this with only one query. Thanks for the reply.

Convert a mapping to a full path
Hi, Is it possible to take a CFMX mapping (say /external to c:/datafiles/word/external) and use this in the cfile action=read file=fullPath tag? The mapping should be converted to a full path but since CFMX already knows this, it should be possible right?

Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have a mapping to process this request.
Hi, I installed scorpio on JRun4 on win2k3 next to an existing CFM7 JRun server. I am unable to serve .cfm pages - I get this error message instead. Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have a mapping to process this request. I use IIS 6.0; made an application mapping to C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll -the .dll that maps IIs to the JRun server with scorpio; I can see the dierctorylisting (directory browsing is on) so it's not a webserver problem. The application mapping for the IIS virtual webserver points to the newly installed server (proxy port of the JRun server); in the JRun admin console I see the server is up and running. This is as far as my JRun knowledge goes. Is there any other reason why the app server is unreachable? Thanks!

Did you have another server installed? Ii.e. Did you have CF7 on it before?

why do you suppose
Hi, what would be the reason a very basic cold fusion page loads correctly in most browsers except when it is loaded in explorer it has to be refreshed to scroll the whole page?

Re: why do you suppose
Brad, no scroll bars but the pages are quite long. There is no JS here is a example. try in fire fox and then in explorer. If you can not get it to scrol in explorer refresh the page it works fine. Thanks to help I got here once bfore I did find a extra div but that is gone. Http://www.bambu-u.com/mountain_boo.cfm I don't quite understand either. But is it also you're just not waiting long enough for the page to load and render. -Original Message- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 3:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: why do you suppose Are you sure it is a CF problem at all and not a JS problem perhaps.

Re: why do you suppose
Brad, There are no scroll bars for sure. When the page loads in any browser except explorer they are there, one has to refresh to get them in explorer. There is no JS. I went though the validator there are no extra divs or anything. Look at this example: http://www.bambu-u.com/mountain_boo.cfm T I don't quite understand either.
