Barry,

Depends on what your trying to do, but a good option might be to create 
some java classes that integrate with Itext that you can call from 
Coldfusion.

Depends if you want to get your hands dirty with Java I guess, but there 
are a lot of resources on creating documents with Itext.

Cheers
Gareth.

No, it has no connection with Crystal that I know of, and certainly you're
being at CF6.1, it just won't work for you. Hope you find a good solution.
If you're on a windows machine, perhaps consider SQL Server Reporting
Services. You ask what big businesses would use, and that's one end of the
spectrum. Another would be open source solutions like JasperReports,
JFreeReport, Eclipse BIRT, Datavision, and so on.

Hi Charlie,

I had not considered the report builder that comes with 7 and 8.

While I have not used it, I have kept my eye out for references to it via
blogs and posts here, and it seemed to have quite a few problems I
really should take a new look at it.

We have invested a lot of time into Crystal Reports over the years, and it
is felt that we would lose a lot of functionality if we used this product.

Unfortunately, we only use CF MX 6.1 in our live environment at the
moment.

I don't know if it is possible, but if it could take a Crystal report and
convert it into the report builder format it might help.

I attempted to call Crystal reports developed reports with the cfreport tag
and ran into a few problems. (actually i couldn't get a single simple report
to work will attempt it again today).

I am just curious to know what corporate\big business types might use in
this instance.

Over the years we have progressed from using Crystal 8.5 and its ActiveX
viewer, to versions 9 and 11 and exporting as pdf's and served up in a new
browser window. ...

Scott, it's not clear from your email whether you've considered the CF
Report Builder that was added in CF 7. It would seem it does most of what
you want. It's a combination of the ReportBuilder to build the reports (used
by developers) and then CFREPORT in CFML to connect your data to the report
(and control its output) in the ways you describe.

I know some will jump up and say it's a piece of . But I'd ask if they
(and you, Scott) have been following its evolution and how it improved in
7.01, then in 8. Don't judge it based solely on what you read from people
who used it in its initial launch, which did have issues. Even then, you may
still read some who complain about it even in its latest incarnation.

But we all know that some could complain about a given framework, or
database engine, or editor, or indeed the very CF we know and love. Folks
need to consider things for themselves. Only they can decide if it suits
their needs (whether greater or lesser than most who've commented on a
thing). 

Just not clear, Scott, if you'd considered it. Hope that's helpful.

Hi,

I am curious to know what solution you guys may use to produce professional
reports from your web applications?

Reports should have:
Headers\Footers
Page Numbers
Grouping
Subtotaling
Running Totals
Sub-Reports
Graphs


The datasource can be changed at run time. 
Reports should be able to be saved by the end user (export as pdf etc).
Reports can be written against stored procs\views\tables.
Report Parameters can be changed at run time.
Reports can be exported to be pdf server side for copying\emailing?

We currently use crystal reports. the server version either 9 or 11.

We are increasingly running into problems with these products

Hope you can give me some food for thought.

for a situation where it was a Turnkey app (running off CF std OEM)
and needed dynamic user-defined fields and criteria ... the report
builder wasn't going to cut it.

it turned out for CF7, cfreport and cfdocument wasn't going to cut it either.

so one of the guys hacked the iText library to bits and did great
things with it, calling from CF. Does all the things you were talking
about to produce documents (esp PDF's) and he's now got it
pixel-perfect to be able to print cheques, invoices, etc. He spent
quite a while on it spread over the last couple of years but ended up
with very good results.

just an FYI on what someone else is doing.

reccomendations and html formatter
(http://www.logichammer.com/html-formatter/) with it's native CF support has
done wonders for some of my more hurried code's readability.

But I assume there's plenty of other useful stuff out there, any suggestions

2008-02-20 Thread Charlie Arehart (lists account)
I'll throw out here that if anyone else ever struggles with doing XML
integration in CFML, there's a really great 30-page PDF that Nate Weiss did
a few years back. It's still as valuable today as then:
 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/xmlxslt.pdf
 
Oh, and Paul, if you happen to be on CF 7 or 8, you can skip the CFFILE
step. XMLParse now accepts the filename to read in (or a URL) as the first
argument. Nice little hidden gem. :-)

[cfaussie] [Ann-Syd] "can't miss" meeting additional prizes! (Sydney Flash Platform Developers Group)

2008-02-20 Thread Chris Velevitch

In addition to the food, drink and software prize, I've managed to get
10 x 30 day paid subscriptions (courtesy of Adobe) to Safari Books
Online Professional Library. Safari Books online is a joint venture of
the 4 major technical book publishers: O'Reilly, Pearson, Wesley and
MS Press who, together, publish 85% of the technical books. The
subscription gives you unlimited access to all online books (that's
most of the current published books) and to Rough Cuts, books that are
in the process of being edited before publication. Because these are
paid subscriptions, there is possibility to add in the standard 14-day
free trial (which I'm currently confirming) to make that a total of 44
days before you need to decide if you want to renew the subscription.

But to be in the running for these prizes, you'll need to register (by
9am tomorrow) and be present when the prize is drawn.

[cfaussie] Re: Dev Tools and toys

2008-02-20 Thread Peter Robertson

Sean, if you're doing Fusebox and you like working visually at the
design/architecture stage, there is a free schematic designer at
http://www.adalon.net/index.jsp.
Upside is it's free.  (Free, not open source).  Downside is it's end-
of-life, no further development will be done on it.  I believe some of
the definition files are accessible, so it would probably be possible
to take it forward, not sure.  Even so, I've used it for years and in
spite of a few wrinkles, it's very serviceable.

Cheers

Peter Robertson

[cfaussie] Dev Tools and toys

2008-02-20 Thread Sean Bucklar

I've recently been reviewing my chosen dev tools and toys, and having a 
play with some new stuff. I'm fairly sold on Eclipse after the numerous 
earlier reccomendations and html formatter 
(http://www.logichammer.com/html-formatter/) with it's native CF support 
has done wonders for some of my more hurried code's readability.

But I assume there's plenty of other useful stuff out there, any 
suggestions for stuff I should check out?
