Re: refreshing application variables
Of course, for people on shared hosting, production might be when you need it most (because you can't restart CF). But, then you should use some additional factor (as Dave said).

Re: refreshing application variables
Normally Dave Watts really knows his stuff, but I have to disagree with one of his suggestions. I definitely would NOT refresh an application by renaming it. While this will work, I would think that would leave the old Application scope running on the server. This isn't something that the GC would know to come by and pick up as there are still variables referencing the data - there just aren't any pages using the variables. The upshot of that is that all of the data stored in Application scope under the old Application name continues to exist after you have renamed the application - you have just created an entirely new copy of all of those application variables. Do this a few times and you eventually have a lot of RAM tied up keeping track of variables that you aren't using at all.

Those are the two ways I know to accomplish the requested task. I prefer the second approach usually, unless I'm really in a hurry I guess. But the first option isn't really harmful to the server, especially in the typical case when you'd do it - in development. The orphaned application will go out of scope normally after the specified period of inactivity.

RE: Accessing Session and Application variables from another app
Couldn't you create a CFC in your main app that will return a value of a variable, something like this: cffunction name=getVar cfargument name=scope cfargument name=varname cfreturn #arguments.scope#.#arguments.varname# / /cffunction Expose the CFC to public and use CFINVOKE from your 'child' app. You could also access it with cfhttp if you would rather do that. Similar to your solution below, but more secure as it doesn't just dump all the variables - you have to know the name of it to get the value. You might want to add some error checking in case the varname or scope passed doesn't exist. In your 'child' app, you could set up a process that grabs those values and populates your application and session scope in the child app automatically on each request.

The onApplicationStart function doesn't clear the scope cache or anything else by default. It does whatever you tell it to.

StructKeyExists is faster since it targets a specific variable scope instead of incrementally searching though all scopes.

besides all the above/below suggestions. There are times you may want to do this. We have a server wide SSO setup that does this by having one cfapplication called MAIN and every other application having cfapplication names that differ. The way to access both is to use two cfapplication tags. I wouldn't suggest to use this all over a application though, maybe just in a couple places to grab the data and run.

Re: Accessing application variables between 2 different applications?
Yeah, it's probably doable; reasons for not doing it include lack of power (createobject) and use of undocumented, and thus changeable, methods. But if you can grab session vars from various sessions (you can), I'm betting you can grab app vars as well. I can dig up the get at session vars code, but IIRC, Snake has it blogged somewhere, and it has comments, unlike my code. :Den On 8/15/06, Andy Mcshane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this is probably a stupid question, as it most likely has security inplications, but I have 2 applications running on the same server and I was wondering if it is possible to access an application variables in one application from the other application, is this possible and if it is what would be the reasons against doing such a thing? ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250079 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Accessing application variables between 2 different applications?
Let me ask the next logical question, these variables you want to access... Are they dynamic in some way, or are you looking to simplify updating a large number of static variables? If you are looking to just share a large group of static variables you can simply create an external file that gets included in both application.cfms. This include file would contain the set code for all of those variables and you would then have all of the same variables and values in each application. Keep in mind this method would not actually allow you to share the variables, but rather mirror them.

RE: Accessing application variables between 2 different applications?
There are two ways this could be done, each with different implications. If the applications have the same name in the cfapplicaiton... tag, they will share the same application scope, and basically be the same application. You could also use the server scope which as accessible by all CFML running on the same server. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

application variables

RE: Losing Application Variables Randomly...
Are you using more than one cfapplication tag in your site with a different application name? Is there any logic around your cfapplication tag which could cause it to not be executed, and therefore the page request would be outside of the application? Can you try/catch your access to that variable and in the catch dump the application scope to see what it looks like, or even the application name, to make sure you are in the application you expect to be? Just a couple random ideas. ~Brad -Original Message- From: John Skrotzki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 3:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Losing Application Variables Randomly...

Thanks for the reply, I have 3 apps called: RAW and RAW_Reps and COW ( customer order website 8-) and define the same app variables in each one - I know I should be using server scope but I designed it yeas ago when I was still green.

Re: Losing Application Variables Randomly...
Hi John, I am having a possibly related issue in a VPS/Linux setup, although it is using Blue Dragon rather than CF. It seems to not be able to properly recurse up the directory tree to find an Application.cfm file if there is not an Application.cfm file in the same directory as the calling template. In my situation I get a session scope not enabled error; since it can't find the App.cfm file it's unable to set session management for the application. Could be that you're getting undefined in application because it's not including your Application.cfm file at all. Maybe you could do a test to see if it's even including the App.cfm file, and go from there. This issue is still not resolved in my case, so I'm curious to see if it's similar to the issue I'm having and if you're able to resolve it. -- Josh - Original Message - From: John Skrotzki [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 1:50 PM Subject: Losing Application Variables Randomly...

Re: Losing Application Variables Randomly...
No I don't. But I am sure it is my coding somewhere as I still don't have a solid grasp on the inner workings of apps and app files. I will try the try / catch idea to see if I can narrow it down. It was more of a minor irrantant as refreshing works but when sending emails it becomes serious. Is there any defintive tutorial on the net on the proper way to deal with multiple applications and how to set it up properly as I am sure I still don't fully understand it.

Application variables from db?
Hi. Is it ok to set certain application variables in application.cfm from values stored in the database? There are certain site-wide settings that I need to store in the database. Then do this in the application.cfm file: CFIF NOT IsDefined Application.MySetting1 cfquery name=myquery dsn=dsn Select Settings from db Where /cfquery cfset Application.MySetting1 = myquery..MySetting1 /CFIF My questions are: 1. Is it ok to set application variables using the above method? 2. If I need to update the above Application.MySetting1 variable to a new value, how will I do so?

I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with having variables that are both in your database and in the application scope. I would recomment a slightly different approach. I would construct a CFC which accepts your dsn and clientid in its init method. I assume each row of this table represents a different client using the same application. I would then have the init method call a fetch method which fetches the row for the indicated client and populates values in the CFC's variables scope. Once that had been done I would implement a getSetting method for fetching an individual setting, and store the CFC in your application scope, thus, rather than referencing application.setting1 in your application, you would reference application.appMgr.getSetting(setting1) or possibly application.appMgr.getSetting1() if you prefer individual accessor methods. The advantage of this is that if you need to change the manner in which the settings are stored or managed later, it will be easiest to do that internally within the CFC if your application references this method, instead of directly referencing an application variable. Another setSetting() or individual setSetting1() methods can then update the CFC and the database (or other storage medium) simultanously. Now here's the rub. Do you need to manage these settings in a central application (one that can manage multiple client applications simultanously) or only within each individual application? If you don't need a centralized application for managing these, then it's pretty straightforward, and you can use the onApplicationStart method of your Application.cfc to instantiate and store your appMgr cfc in the application scope. If you need a centralized application then you'll have to find some way to get the data into each individual application when you update it. One way to do this is to use the cfapplication tag in your central application to temporarily relocate the current request into the target application and update its appMgr cfc -- the problem you'll experience with this approach will be to ensure that the application has already started, because if you use cfapplication to initialize the application name, the ColdFusion server won't know where to look for the Application.cfc and so it won't execute the onApplicationStart method. Using a simple http request for the application's login or home page using the cfhttp tag may be enough to ensure it's started before making changes. An alternative would be to build a webservice into each subordinate application, which of course brings other challenges with it. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237305 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: Application variables from db?
Hi Charles. Got a question for you. Say you updated the value of the field OrgShortname in the database, for one of the websites. How soon would the application variable associated with it get updated? Also, in your code, are you not loading the database too much, since you have the query in your application.cfm file. How often is this query going to run?

How often is this query going to run? Since it's in Application.cfm, which gets run once per request, it's getting run every request. Which means it's being get and set with each request. Sound place for a cgi type if deal, but the downside of having the query in the application.cfm is it's getting run each request as well, and depending on how you have your error trapping set up, you could hit a DB error before you've set you db error handling, or whatnot. Might make more sense, if there aren't a lot of sites, to store the list in memory and compare against that instead of running the query. You can use a structClear() to clear the application and session scopes, not to sure if the structClear on Application is kosher or not. :Denny -ps sorry for the lack of trimming/whatnot of my posts.

Application Variables
Hi Everyone I have an application that is storing information in applications variables. I need each of this variables to be available for about 1 hour . I have created a application.cfm file with a CFAPPLICATION tag as follows: cfapplication name=theWebSite applicationTimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)# Will this automatically remove variables after the timeout time if they are not re-wrote, or will they stay there until the whole application is not used by anyone for 1 hour?

Disappearing/reappearing application variables...
Is there any reason application variables would disappear before the application timeout set in Application.cfm file? I have the following code, which initializes an application based CFC if it does not already exist.I put in a cflog tag to let me know how often it rebuilds itself and it seems to re-initialize every 1-2 hours, even though I have the application timeout set to 12 hours in the cfapplication tag (and the server timeout is still set to the default 2 days for application vars.) cfif NOT StructKeyExists(application, SomeCFC) OR 0 cflock name=CreateSomeCFC#application.ApplicationName# timeout=10 throwontimeout=Yes type=Exclusive cfscript // i create the SomeCFC application.SomeCFC=CreateObject(component, SomeCFC).Init(); /cfscript /cflock !--- i update the SomeCFC log file --- cflog text=SomeCFC initialized [#GetBaseTemplatePath()# :: #cgi.Remote_Addr#] file=SomeCFC /cfif The CFC contains a semi-boatload of configuration data, cached structs, etc; but I've definitely worked with larger amounts of persistent data before...could this be an issue?Is there anyway to check how much is too much with memory vars?As usual, any help would be greatly appreciated- Tyler S PS: I'm also going to add another conditional statement within the lock to re-check if the struct exists, I've just been forcing the re-init by changing the 0 to a 1 [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
