Re: XML Security
I was presented with some questions regarding XML and was wondering if there are any setting in Coldfusion to disable any of these or I do not need to worry about it since we do not use any XML in our code: 1. How application employs methods for XML schema validation. 2. How application disables use of inline XML Document Type Definition (DTD) schemas in XML parsing objects. 3. How application manages DTD parsing behavior as a key to preventing the invocation of XML bombs. Is it safe to say IF we were to use XML we could use the XML validation function built in CF9? Honestly, I don't know whether CF's validation would prevent any of these issues. CF's parser does allow you to declare DTD entities directly within an XML document, I think. You'd need to pre-parse the document yourself to prevent this, perhaps. But since your application doesn't use XML, your best bet is to say just that, and no more.

Re: XML Security
That's correct Chad. If you run linux or strict casing this is also a security improvement over loose DTD as well. It eerily close to SOX compliance questions that auditors generally ask when reviewing apps.

If you are just after products, you can dramatically simplify the code by
using xmlsearch() to get them with xpath instead of manually looping

Re: XML! Aaargh! How do I do this?
Rick, I generally find the easiest way to work through an XML doc is to create a page that just converts it to an XMLDOC first using cfxml or xmlparse() and them CFDUMP the result. This makes it must easier to find the node references you need to loop through or reference. I also prefer to simplify my code by creating a new reference out deep nested blocks, such as nodes I need to loop over, as this results in shorter references, especially if they contains array counters, dynamic evaluations etc to get at the correct element. If your still struggling, then I would suggest posting the full code and XML at pastebin.com so we can see it and test it. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~| 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:349285 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I just haven't gotten to the point where I understand how

well i guess to make things easy, i may just need a loop that can split a list
of 5000 numbers into batches of 100 each. so i can send via http post. The one
i am using splits and does not validate how many numbers are left, so i get a

3. SMS message
then i send with the following cfhttp code:

/cfhttp
this works perfectly.
But i noticed that if i send to more that 100 numbers, the SMS is not
delivered. Maybe something about amount of characters the address bar can
hold.
So, i was asked to submit via XML POST formatted like this:
SMS
authentification

gsm messageId=âclientmsgID1â/gsm

$request.= ''; //append the ampersand () sign after each paramter/value
pair
}
$len = strlen($request)-1;
$request = substr($request, 0, $len); //remove the final ampersand sign
from the request
$url = http://www.infobip.com/Addon/SMSService/SendSMS.aspx;;
$ch = curl_init(); //initialize curl handle

worry, the server has over 9000 clients, this means that their service

I think you missed my point. If you're not sure whether you're
building your POST correctly in CF, you can test sending an HTTP POST
directly using any number of HTTP test tools, or using telnet, and see
what kind of response you get. That will let you determine whether (a)
the service even accepts HTTP POST, (b) your XML is malformed or not
what the service expects, or (c) you're having a specific issue with
CF sending the data, as opposed to the format of the data itself.
But in any case, you will need to learn how to help yourself. You
simply aren't providing enough information for anyone else to help
you.

Re: XML POST with Coldfusion
GET and POST are both HTTP methods. XML is not a protocol. You can however send xml as string data over either HTTP GET or POST. You will need to start providing some more information if anyone is to help you efficiently / at all; e.g. how have you successfully been using the service using GET?

Re: XML POST with Coldfusion
Chuka, All the SMS services I've ever used send a response code back when you try to send an SMS - a success code or an error code. If you're not gettting anything back, then I'd assume you're not sending anything - or if you are, you're not authenticating correctly on the SMS service. Dave's advice is good advice - verify that if you send an XML packet without involving CF, that it will work.That will prove that their XML service is listening, and that you are authenticating correctly. Then create your CF code to produce the same XML that you send manually. As Dave said (and I always listen to Dave Watts - he's about the most wise and experienced CF Programmer there is anywhere) there are lots of reasons why it might not work. You need to eliminate all the possible reasons one by one until you have only one left - then you know the problem you have to solve.

Re: XML POST with Coldfusion
Also find out how they are expecting the POST. You can send a field involving a name/value pair (like a name field in a form post) or you could have the xml be the entire body of the post. If it works via GET, then you might need to be sending the xml as the right field name. There is no way (that I am aware of) to send data in the body of a get, it is all name/value pairs in the request string. If they expect the same field name in the body of a post, you'll have to name your cfhttpparam accordingly.

Re: XML POST with Coldfusion
ok, let me be very explicit.
I presently have a form with the following fields for clients to submit data:
1. mobile numbers (either single or bulk. ie uploading a text file.
numbers are separated by ,)
2. Sender's Name
3. SMS message
then i send with the following cfhttp code:
cfhttpparam type=body value=This is a URL variable
/cfhttp
this works perfectly.
But i noticed that if i send to more that 100 numbers, the SMS is not
delivered. Maybe something about amount of characters the address bar can hold.
So, i was asked to submit via XML POST formatted like this:
SMS
authentification
username/username
password/password
/authentification
message
sender/sender
text/text
/message
recipients
gsm messageId=âclientmsgID1â/gsm
gsm messageId=âclientmsgID2â/gsm
gsm messageId=âclientmsgID3â/gsm
gsm messageId=âclientmsgID4â/gsm
/recipients
/SMS
Now this is the huddle i need to scale. Someone gave me a cURL code, but its in
PHP.:
?php
// Saint Tosins version of Curl for infobip
// for your own sms gateway copy, call 08035898361
$request = ; //initialize the request variable
$param[user] = $username;
$param[password] = $password;
$param[SMSText] = $message; //this is the message that we want to send
$param[GSM] = $numbers; //these are the recipients of the message
$param[sender] = $sender; //this is our sender
$param[IsFlash] = 0; //we want to send the message via global route
$param[type] = LongSMS; //message type is plain text
foreach($param as $key=$val) //traverse through each member of the param array
{
$request.= $key.=.urlencode($val); //we have to urlencode the values
$request.= ''; //append the ampersand () sign after each paramter/value pair
}
$len = strlen($request)-1;
$request = substr($request, 0, $len); //remove the final ampersand sign from
the request
$url = http://www.infobip.com/Addon/SMSService/SendSMS.aspx;;
$ch = curl_init(); //initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); //set the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); //header param
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); //return as a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); //set POST method
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request); //set the POST variables
$response = curl_exec($ch); //run the whole process and return the response
curl_close($ch); //close the curl handle
?
Well all these codes have managed to mess up my head. So i called for instant
help and will not mind giving $20 to the guide that will make it work.
Happy Hunting!

Re: XML Issues with webservices
Ok I've discovered what I think is the root of the problem. I have got the cfc to do a dump of the arguments scope into a cfsavecontent tag and pass that back. When the component is called locally it passes back my orginal xml request. However when I call it as a webservice I get back what looks like a java class named object of org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl This means that any operations I perform on this object fail as it is no longer an xml object. Is this a bug with Coldfusion, or should it be doing this for some reason? Surely I can't be the only person that wants to feed a cfc xml via a webservice, or can I? I'm running CF8.01 on IIS, so if it is a bug there's probably not a lot I can do. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Off the top of my head, I wouldn't be surprised if you have to convert it to a string first. Most Java classes have a toString() method you can invoke. You'd then have to use xmlParse to convert it back into XML. Alternatively, you could just return a string in the first place, instead of XML.

Re: XML Issues with webservices
And what are the errors? Are you sure the xml is still valid? I have recently worked with a couple of webservices talking in XML. I have generally returned things as a string as opposed to type=xml. Just something else to try. -Matt Hello all. Was hoping someone could help me solve this irritating issue. Curently I have a cfc called gateway.cfc setup to recieve incoming xml, perform some operations and then pass back some xml. Here is the component cffunction name=sfrequest description=I take a method name and some arguments as xml and call a cfc access=remote returntype=xml output=false cfargument name=xmlRequest type=xml required=true !---Take the xml input and do something with it --- cfoutput cfxml variable=xmlOutput response resultSUCCESS/result result_code100/result_code messageUser #xmlRequest.request.username.xmltext# Logged In/message /response /cfxml /cfoutput cfreturn xmlOutput / /cffunction I'm calling this function using the following code to create some xml and then call the component as a webservice cfscript xmlRequest = XmlNew(); xmlRequest.xmlRoot = XmlElemNew(xmlRequest,Request); xmlRequest.Request.xmlChildren[1] = XmlElemNew(xmlRequest, Username); xmlRequest.Request.Username.XmlText = Jim; xmlRequest.Request.xmlChildren[2] = XmlElemNew(xmlRequest, Password); xmlRequest.Request.Password.XmlText = password; /cfscript cfdump var=#xmlRequest# cfscript ws = CreateObject(webservice, #variables.wsURL#); ret = ws.sfrequest(xmlRequest); /cfscript cfdump var=#ret# Now this works fine if I call the cfc locally, but I get an error when I access it as a webservice. The webservice works fine if I just return the xmlRequest variable and it also works fine I I just return the generated xmlOutput without doing anything to the inputted xml. However as soon as I try to do anything with the xmlRequest such as pulling some text from it as above, it errors. Any ideas??

Re: xml data referencing
Hi Daniel, Yes you'll need to loop through and append them to a string if you are trying to save them to one query record. What does the entire xml file look, I assume that previous piece of code is just one of the entries? Thing is, I don't know how many of them there are, or rather I don't know how to determine how many 'category' entries there are, so I can't loop through them. I don't want to repeat information in a second post, so if you check out my earlier post, I describe my current quandry (http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:57962#314699) The xml is presented here: http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1550840680584738668/posts/default?published-min=2008-11-11T00:00:00published-max=2008-11-25T23:59:59 I found that if I go to that in Firefox and check it's source code, then it shows the xml as-is. I put it into Dreamweaver and Command- Apply Source Formatting to work with it. I am very close to making this work.

Re: xml data referencing
Your intuition was correct, you can indeed use
/entry[index]/category - except that index would want to be a
numerical value; ie.
cfset variables.xml =
XmlParse('http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1550840680584738668/posts/default?published-min=2008-11-11T00:00:00published-max=2008-11-25T23:59:59')
cfset variables.entries = XmlSearch(xml, '/:feed/:entry')
cfoutput
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(entries)# index=variables.i
cfset variables.categories = XmlSearch(xml,
'/:feed/:entry[#i#]/:category')
!--- ... etc. ---
/cfloop
/cfoutput
A quick example of what else can be done using XPath in this way:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.google.com]/category
This will select all the category elements with in an entry element
that has an 'id' attribute with a value of 'http://www.google.com'.
XML and XPath are wonderful beasts. While it may not help you in terms
of your deadline; I'd highly recommend getting a copy of XML In A
Nutshell. XML can be tricky to explain and this book does it really
comprehensively and readably. W3Schools also have a fairly good
reference and forum:

Re: xml data referencing
Hi Daniel
You'll need to use XMLAttributes and it will return a structure.
XMLChildren[index].category.XMLAttributes
ah that worked nicely. It gave me a struct and I referenced 'term' to get my
data.
parsed[feed].XMLChildren[index].category.XMLAttributes.term
However, if there were two 'category' items, it only gave me the last one. I
figured out how to reference them with [n], but how do I know how many of them
there are? I'm supposing that I need to loop through them to get all the
'category' entries. If I try to reference more than what's there, I receive an
error.
Here is my attempt to deal with all that, but I receive an error:
for (ll = 1; ll LTE 25; ll=ll+1){
if
(isdefined(parsed[feed].XMLChildren[index].category[ll].XMLAttributes.term))
categories = categories 'some_data|';
}
if (structKeyExists(parsed[feed].XMLChildren[index], category))
querySetCell(retQuery, category, categories, rows);
Receives error: Element CATEGORY is undefined in a Java object of type class
coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap referenced as
any additional help would be greatly appreciated and thanks Nick for your help
getting me this far.

Re: XML / XSL / XSLT and CF
Justin / Dave, Thanks for your replies. Yes, I'm seeing from the little bit of research that I'm doing that XSLT might not do what I need it to and introduce a certian level of risk to the project. I am interested in learning more about highly abstracted form generation if any one has any links on this to share. If either of you are able to shed a little more light on the TEXT/pipe technique or the database technique I'd be greatly appreciative. Don't go way out of your way though. I'll keep researching.

On the flip side as well - If you were going to end up writing the XML by hand, to then convert into your forms, why not author up some really nice custom tags, and do it on the page? There is a nice uniForm custom tag set around somewhere as well, which may also save you some time?

The forms render very fast - a FRACTION of the time it takes for Flex forms or flash forms - , you can automate the generation because you're only creating coldfusion tags, all the XSLT is done for you by the good folks on teh CFMX development team. Give that a try - i bet it already does most of what you want to do out of the box. If you want to tinker with the XSLT you can - all the scripts are editable so you can customise it by yourself if you want. And the CSS Style sheets are all there to tinker around with too if you want, so the html renders exactly how you want it to look. I dont understand why more people dont use it.

Re: XML Error = invalid character Unicode 0x19.
Apparently, the org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils java class'
escapeXml method escapes this (and other) characters properly. So
something like:
cfset escapers = CreateObject('java',
'org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils')
cfset cleanedDescription = escapers.escapeXml(description)
When I first tested this out I found that the
org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils class could not be found so
I had to install the org.apache.commons.lang package which can be
found here:
http://commons.apache.org/downloads/download_lang.cgi
Note: I've not been able to test this with a string that produces the
error you are having.

2008/7/4 Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I'm getting this error in a XML job i'm doing and I can't see where
this illegal character is creeping in. The offending text field is
one called 'description', - i know that becuase if i remove it from
the XML I get valid XML.
Unicode 0x19 is called End of Medium and is a control character.
So i have used trim() on the data going into the description element, and also
XMLFormat(). I would have thought that XMLFormat() would have fixed
it, but it hasn't. I can't see where this character is creeping in,
becuase it's a control character.
I've also tried setting the page encoding to UTF-8 to see if that
makes any difference but it doesn't.
I've googled for quite a while now, and there are lots of people who
see this problem - it's on forums everywhere, but no one seems to give
an answer that works.
Has anyone here come across this problem and solved it? ( The problem
seems to be common to PHP and .Net applications too, but none of them
have posted an answer that i have found. ) If you got round it, what
did you do?

Re: XML Error = invalid character Unicode 0x19.
You were on the right track, Matt. It was one of those smart quotes - a curly apostrophe, as a result of a paste from word. I deleted that character and replaced it with a ASCII one and the XML validated. Also i used the suggestion Terry gave me - replace chr(25) with nothing and that did worked on another record that was giving the same error. Now to figure out what to do about the 200 fields on several hundred thousand records, now I know what's causing it to break. I am hoping i am going to be able to think of a way to loop through them all instead of spending the rest of the day typing out a replace function in each field. (sigh). Story of my life with this project!

True that. I like to think of XML in CF simply as structs of arrays. You can access the data just as you would traverse structs and arrays.
