Application.cfc question
Here's the background... We have all of our requests going through the index.cfm in the root and depending on variable values, they get directed, via cfincludes, to subfolders. My question is how do I get the application.cfc in the subfolder to run? The application.cfc in the root is getting run, but it appears that the one in the subfolder is not. Each sub-folder contains a separate application with a unique name and the application.cfc has application specific variables in it. The application.cfc in the subfolder is set to extend the one in the root.

RE: Application.cfc question
I would tend to agree that you cannot do it this way because the application.cfc fires on first request. If you can use IIS (or Apache) to do your redirect before the application.cfc fires you should be able to get the ones in the subfolders to fire first, then do an include at the top of each to include the original application.cfc file to add the missing data... but I'd probably not call the one in the root application.cfc then... probably something like global_var_include.cfm or something.

Re: Application.cfc question
Short answer is, its difficult if you want to inherit the methods of the root folder Application.cfc. Coldfusion allows for one Application.cfc to extend another, but only if the inherited Application.cfc isnt in the root directory of the site or has a mapping in the CF Admin ( i.e. -you cant use extends=Application.cfc) or it throws an error, thinking its calling itself. That said, you can either create a mapping, make your inherited Application.cfc part of a subdirectory so CF doesnt get confused or use inheritance from another component, along with the SUPER scope to do what you want to do.

Re: Application.cfc question
could you not have 1 application.cfc which simply calls different methods/includes according to the path in the URL. I have never tried it, and it would be bad practice and only a temp solution (others will swear for my suggesting this), but perhaps a quick fix would be to have the root application.cfc include a child application.cfc. or in your OnRequestStart, you test the URL and include a settings file from required sub-dir in the URL path, if the path has changed, reload the application.

Re: Application.cfc question
If the purpose is code reuse, another possibility might be putting all logic into templates or other cfc. Then have both application.cfc call the required functionality through includes or method calls. Somewhat like a shared library.

Re: Application.cfc question
Just curious: can anyone tell a bit more on how exactly Application.cfc is executed? With normal cfc's I believe that the code above the first method runs only when a new instance of the cfc is created, or when the cfc is invoked as a static component. It seems a bit strange to me that the cfif isDefined(url.reloadConfig) AND (isBoolean(url.reloadConfig) AND url.reloadConfig) cfset onApplicationStart() /cfif cfif isDefined(url.reloadSession) AND (isBoolean(url.reloadSession) AND url.reloadSession) cfset onSessionStart() /cfif are even executed. Does this mean that a new instance of Application.cfc is created for every request, or that it is invoked statically?

RE: Application.cfc question
I don't know the exact, internal details, but application.cfc is called on each request and knows ONLY about the current request. Other than putting data into scopes such as application, sesssion or server, nothing is kept from one request to another, within application.cfc. In this respect, application.cfc is the same as application.cfm.

Application.cfc question
Hi - I'm trying to use application.cfc on a new app I'm building and I'm having a strange occurrence. I'm sure it's just because I'm not as familiar with it as application.cfm, but I am trying to 'avoid' just switching back to application.cfm. Here's the issue: I have the following code. When I try to execute my URL with the reloadConfig=yes parameter, The app fails on the first line of the onSessionStart() function with 'application.datasource does not exist.'

Re: Application.cfc question
I ran into the same problem. I assign datasource in the application.cfm and then lose the connection string in the cfc. I believe the problem is that a cfc is intended to run in a different machine as thought it were a web service. As a result Cold Fusion does not carry the application state across the boundary even if it is on the same machine. It may be in a different process or a different thread. I do not know the cf internals well enough to know exactly why. That being said, I defined a datasource variable in the cfc and all went well. The other way to do it is to pass the application.datasource variable across as a function variable. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:315810 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

OnRequestStart would seem to be a good place for it. You might also override the Session timeout (if you're using sessions) so that these spam requests don't create a large number of dead sessions. You can set the timeout to 5 seconds or something before you do the redirect.

So removing the offending params might allow a valid request to get through. Remember that it's always possible that a legitimate person could have clicked a spammed link to get to your site.

You could just set this.sessionTimeOut, but on further thought if you just redirect them to the home page then they'll just start a new session there. Maybe a better option (if you're sure these are spammers) is just to abort the request and be done with it?

OnRequestStart would seem to be a good place for it. You might also override the Session timeout (if you're using sessions) so that these spam requests don't create a large number of dead sessions.

application.cfc question
I am switching an application.cfm to application.cfc.
Im my application.cfm I defined a function that I used through out the web site.
cfscript
function replaceQuotes(arg) {
return Replace(arg, '', ##34;, ALL);
}
/cfscript
Now in the application.cfc I cannot place the function in onRequestStart I get
an error.
So now, to have this function available to the web site, I can just make a new
function in application.cfc like this:
cffunction name=replaceQuotes
cfargument name=arg required=true
cfreturn #Replace(arguments.arg, '', '##34;', 'ALL')# /
/cffunction
Right???
I just want to make sure I am doing this right and im not going to kill
application.cfc.

Re: application.cfc question
Plenty of ways to do this, but I'd probably create a utilities.cfc and then
drop it into the application scope (in OnApplicationStart()). That way,
anytime you want to use it on your site, you just call it that way. The
added benefit is if you find you have more functions liek this that you may
need, just drop them into utilities.cfc.

That way, anytime you want to use it on your site, you just call it that way. I concur with Crow - I was going to suggest exactly the same thing. You could add the function right in App.cfc, then use cfinvoke to call the method, but I feel for cleanliness App.cfc should just contain those native functions (onApplicationStart etc.). -- Josh ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

nested Application.cfc question
I am having a problem with nesting Application CFCs. I have an Application.cfc in the root directory with a call to onRequestStart, and in there I have a variety of variables set in the request scope. I have another Application.cfc in a sub directory that I built primarily to handle user authentication (the only files needing to be protected reside there, so I was going to set the authentication checks in that Application.cfc so it's only referenced when needed). I set it up so that this second Application.cfc extends the root Application.cfc by using the dot-notation mapping to the root Application - like extends=SharedSites.Site1.Application. In this file's onRequestStart function, I try and access the request scope variables set in the parent Application.cfc. I am getting errors saying these variables have not been set. This is a legacy application that I am converting over to Application.cfc, so I cannot unscope those variables, I have to use them in the request scope. Any guidelines or ideas? thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 ~| 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:259526 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

That's not the way extension/inheritance works. When you created the new onRequestStart function in the child Application.cfc it replaced the one in the parent Application.cfc. To run the parents application.cfc you need to use CF's version of the super scope inside of the child. I think this would be super.onReqestStart() in side the child's onRequestStart, but I am not sure. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

RE: nested Application.cfc question
I found the super.onRequestStart() function not too long after I sent this. That fixed that problem, you were correct about it. Thanks, Ian. :) Now my problem is just making this work correctly! It seems to be ignoring some IF statements in the child onRequestStart function, and I'm noodling through that one now. Are there public examples of code around with this kind of setup that I could look at somewhere? I have to assume this is nowhere near rocket science, but I'm fairly new to CFC's. thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 -Original Message- From: CF-Talk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 5:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ColdFusion Talk (CF-Talk): Digest every hour ~| 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:259537 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
