Hi Gavin, You should check your eclipse error log files, they should provide some insight.

Hi Hitesh, If you have issues talking to your webservice you can consider building the XML manually and using CFHTTP to communicate with the webservice...Depending on whether you have Java guys to assist you, You might also consider sending a support request to Adobe as i suspect that your issues is more on the Java libraries CF uses rather than a CF code or CF configuration issue, to be honest will probably be faster just to create your own function to do it.

[cfaussie] Re: JB-HI Moving to dotnet
I think at the end of the day it comes down to perception... My Perception is: 1) Adobe does not market CF hard enough in the ANZ region. (A few examples in this thread where CF could have been sold/pitched but wasn't) 2) In Australia, management seem to think web based languages revolve around PHP and .NET ONLY 3) 99% of new IT dev focused grads probably never heard of Coldfusion by the time they graduate, and i still constantly meet .NET and PHP developers from newbies to veterans who have not heard coldfusion, if i am lucky they will have heard of Coldfusion but 99% of those will not know what IS Coldfusion. 4) If there are no new projects in CF, eventually the CF job market will just become smaller and smaller. Personally one thing i have found about Refresh the two times (i think it was 07 and 08) i have been is that they spent majority of the time talking about either Creative Suite or Flash/Flex... There is usually no session dedicated trumpeting the latest and greatest in CF... Besides I believe Refresh does not bring in enough fresh eyes onto CF, which for me is the main point, especially fresh eyes from the people who sign the cheques. One thing I believe microsoft does really well is make good use of the cream of its .NET partners, where they come in and do a show and tell about the new MS tech that they have been using to create a new product/app etc... I believe Adobe should start out with getting some CF talent into the Consultancy arm in ANZ so that more Flex based projects can(should) have a CF backend, and also at the start (assuming not enough CF work via the Consultancy) primarily evangelising to NON-CF folks (Schools, Startup UGs), They should also attempt to run something similar to ReMix, and keep it cheap so as many people as possible can come (though I believe ReMix tickets are not free so that people who register actually turn up, well that and maybe so they can justify to HQ the free stuff they give out during ReMix). Well I believe the point some of us are trying to make is that CF conferences and events maybe well backed by Adobe, in terms of personnel they send, and sponsorship, but any product, especially with a significantly smaller market share, if Adobe (and Railo) does not go the extra mile in pushing CF, it will not grow in the region... @Railo the Adobe folks I hope you guys are speaking to RMIT already, i believe they have a decent investment (apps built) in CF, and would be sort of the ideal candidate to support CF as a language to students, maybe not so much as a module/subject but support in terms of if they pick are choosing to attempt their projects, they would know (hopefully from the teaching staff and the IT dept) that CF is an option, and have a list of reliable resources, in terms of information, and who they could possibly get in contact with. PS: I am going to ReMix mainly for UX and to listen in on their plans for JQuery and Azure. Not switching to .Net anytime soon...

Perhaps they are out there and I just haven't found them. Have you seen the ColdFusion Evangelism Kit that Adobe put out? That's a pretty good pitch to managers. Adobe have also published some more detailed comparisons between technologies showing the benefits of CFML - which is also summarized in the evangelism kit so it depends how much detail you want. A lot of the anti CF people also don't like it because it's a proprietary technology. This is where I really think things like Railo can really help the uptake of CF. We are certainly seeing some people moving to Railo rather than abandoning CFML altogether because they have some sort of mandate for open source. It's obviously better to keep them in the CFML community than lose them to some other technology. We also see people coming in via jboss.org who are open source folks who wouldn't have considered CFML before. And, yes, realistically, there are going to be people who choose Railo purely on price because they don't want to spend money. We see folks who are running older versions of ColdFusion who didn't pay maintenance and now won't pay for upgrades - Railo provides them an option to modernize their code. Naturally we prefer folks who choose Railo for reasons other than price since our business model is about support and consulting - and folks who won't pay Adobe aren't likely to pay us either :) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904)

[cfaussie] Re: JB-HI Moving to dotnet
I can back that, at my first job, MS used to call us to ask if everything was ok and chit chat about upcoming stuff with our IT- centric managers, and regularly sent invites to launch of new products built on MS tech. AND it was at a large private school, so our licenses were all a fraction of the RRP... Compared that to the time (still at that job) where I got one of my directors (IT based, there was only 2) to ask about LiveCycle (I was interested in doing integration with exchange and AD for apps for our internal intranet, and logic for alot of the stuff that was being done manually.), I was told the response from adobe was something along the lines of if you don't know how you are going to use it, its probably not worth your time and money. At the time the were thinking of going to other MS products because of not having to manage AD permissions on CF and greater integration for MS tech with each other. The end result is obvious, they went with MS, though to date it seems the main project didn't get delivered to my understanding and currently on hold but thats another story. Also don't get me started on projects where companies buy software and spend like crazy doing integration then not achieveing fully what they wanted when it would have been a better shot at it if it was mainly custom built. @Kym I reckon you might want to talk to the Railo crew and see if you can get some sort of partnership going for Australia...

We are a CF-only hosting company and yes, we are not cheap as hosting in Oz is not cheap, that's _all_ hosting not just CF hosting.

Its the old, old story, you get what you pay for. We don't have 400 sites on one web server or 200 databases on a DB server, that's what happens when you pay $5 a month for your hosting. And if the power wobbles, we keep going. I got two phone calls yesterday relevant to this conversation, one from a prospective client who was fed up with the poor service at their existing hosting company, its in Brisbane and owned by a Victorian company if you know the one I mean. They are coming to us at twice the price they were paying before to get something that actually works (and I'm talking $55pm for a CMS site not thousands for a big business site). The other phone call was from Microsoft! They did come knocking at our door, metaphorically speaking! Wanted to know if we were happy, etc. We are a CF shop but we are also a Windows shop, we own quite a few Win2008 Datacentre licenses and SQL2008 ditto, we do spend serious (by small business standards) money with them even if we compete with their web technology. And talking of evangelising we have decided to put our CMS into the public domain and really start promoting cfml as a language and note the use of cfml there not Coldfusion. I think that is important now, it is in the public domain at the application platform level, it is not just Adobe any more and we need to start making noises. Here in Sydney the last Coldfusion User Group meeting was a long time ago, we now have an Adobe Platform User Group and Chris does a grand job but apart from me jumping up and down and mentioning cfml at every opportunity in the audience there has been no CF content in ages, its all Flex and Flash, etc. The Adobe Way.

Elaborating on what Kai was mentioning about metrics/garbage collection/memory.. Have you had a look in the logs from the JVM and ColdFusion to see if there are any error messages that might be related? The first thing you could do is turn on logging of long running requests (somewhere in coldfusion administrator) That might give you some clues as to what pages could be causing more load / cpu usage. Enable logging of metrics to see if you may have too many active handler threads (concurrent running processes of requests), you may need to configure some settings to optimise these values. The second thing you could do is do some thread dumps (you can do this either with a utility - there is one called StackTrace' or you can do it manually from a command prompt after you manually start coldfusion) Do several heap dumps every 10 seconds and see if there are common functions or pages coming up in the thread dump (the things that need more processing should come up more frequently in those logs). Thread dumps are generally used if you find you are getting bottlenecks in your application and you need to find what parts of your app could be doing the bottlenecking. So if you aren't getting long running pages then you may not need to do this. If you think it's memory related (and if you are getting tight on memory for your application, that will cause more 'Major' garbage collection events using more CPU) then you can enable garbage collection logging, a free analyzer tool called GCViewer http://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.htmllets you get a graphical view of what's going on as a memory overview. If it looks like you have a memory problem, then you can generate heap dumps and use something like the Eclipse memory analyzer plugin (MAT) to view the heap dump log. Google will tell you how to generate heap dumps. An awesome profiling tool that I found very useful was Oracle's Jrockit Mission Control (used to be owned by BEA or something arather). It's free for development and you can do profiling with that and see pretty much everything that's going on in coldfusion. You do have to update your config file to point to that though, and it could be slightly dodgy running it in a production environment, it's more something you use in a development environment. There's a lot to learn when it comes to the under the hood performance and memory stuff but it's quite interesting and very good to know as a developer how all that stuff works.

[cfaussie] Re: Weird Problem Element is Undefined problem
MrBuzzy was right... Though I was not the one at the keyboard... I had a writeouput in the for loop and was assuming it was breaking on a one of the sub structs which had the key/value. Apparently when something breaks in For Loop in cfscript, none of the writeoutputs from the earlier iterations will display. So it was breaking on another the sub struct.

[cfaussie] Re: Weird Problem Element is Undefined problem
Just thought I would write it out again... Was not very clear the first time... Though I was not the one who was figured it out (i.e not at the keyboard)... Basically, when the code errored in the For Loop it displayed the error while ignoring the write outputs from earlier iterations, so i looked where I thought it errored where it was actually erroring on a struct that didn't have that value. Serves me right for 1) not understanding For in cfscript 2) copying and modifying code that I did understand 100%... Now where was that form for the darwin awards...

The struct is copied from a struct of struct generated earlier in the process, which parses an xml file... Then it loops through the Struct of Structs to do the logic.

[cfaussie] Re: cf.Objective() Australia
All, I see where Kai is coming, I was thinking along the same lines too, but after thinking abit more about it I think cf.objective in AU will be a good thing. it brings exposure to CF in Australia. Considering there are numerous Java/.Net/PHP/Linux dedicated Conferences held regularly in Australia, I believe CF deserves to be in that group (where it has at least one dedicated conference). Though how many people will actually attend maybe another factor, and if there is not enough initial demand, Adobe might be motivated to do more to push CF in Aus. Suggestion of Topics, I need to know ideas/methods to more advanced Exchange integration stuff (though it is more probably to do with Active Directory and setting up some sort of 'Super' user in exchange). Looking at your own outlook stuff is ok, but doing more advanced stuff like sharing multiple calendars will be good. Replicating how you can see other people's free time (similar to making appointments via Outlook) will be a start and probably solutions can be based off that.

[cfaussie] Re: My Yearly WebDU Rant
I think its good for networking, and seeing whats the buzz (though the same could be achieved following the adobe blogs). Though there is nothing like seeing a presentation live and being able to ask question during QA or while mingling(?). Personally I take it as a chance to get re-energized on new ideas/ approaches, and networking as much as possible (i.e. knowing who to ask questions when the need arises) I won't be attending any workshops this year though, mainly because there was not one where I thought it justified the 495 to work. My main objective is to gather the general consensus where my work organisation should be heading, feeling out the new trends, finding out what other people are involved in and networking with people. It would be good if there were people willing to organise it in other states, but at the end of the day it is because Daemon has been doing a good job and they are based in sydney. Work seems to think its good value, I was sent last year and I wasn't expecting to go again this year, but was encouraged to go again this year. I think you should attend it yourself, if you have a chance, to have a feel whether its worth it so you can make an informed choice for following years.

And I was all ready to get budget approval for the spend etc, but the guy I wanted to send is on leave. So I could send someone else I guess, but I don't want to send someone just for the sake of it. I would like to get the opinion from people who are going or who have been, if you feel it's worth the spend time. The cost I worked out went something like this Conference $950 Workshop$495 Flights $250 Accommodation $330 Meal Expense$100 Taxis $200 - $2,325 Which if you think about it for 3 days is $96 per hour. Not counting the salary we are paying while he is there. Now my usual rant is about how they should bring it to Melbourne or other States so that more people could attend, I could send all my people? But in reality at $950 a ticket, I wouldn't it's too expensive. The actual cost of not being in melbourne from above is still $880 but the actual ticket price is very high. I think I probably missed an earlybird discount might have saved a couple hundred dollars. At the end of the day $2k isn't insignificantit, but $2k might be a great investment, I consider the $495 workshop to be great value.

[cfaussie] Re: Salaries inb CF jobs (was: Re: [cfaussie] Re: recruters say CF on the way out? ... FFS! not FUD from them too?)
Hi Kai/Eliseo, I agree with you guys... it seems decent CF developers are few and far between... yet we seem to struggle to find 1) positions with a chance to be creative 2) positions where you will be groomed professionally 3) pay more than helpdesk support 3 Personally some of the apps I write, probably save us literally a fair bit of money and add alot of value to my organisation as well (I doubt any other school in AU/NZ has a blogging platform that comes close to ours at the moment. Or how our integration stuff save us paying the vendors their exorbant rates for customizing their Insert expletive here databases) Yet i am paid less than helpdesk support lvl 2 (though I am only coming up to my 2 years working full time here and total. In the long run I might consider doing DB admin (as they easily earn 50% more of what I am doing but alot less interesting work), nah just kidding probably go crazy looking after DB as a FT job... sick of looking after the few I have to babysit atm. /end rant I have been seeing this ad on seek.com.au that wanted a 9+ year commercial experience CF developer and only offering around 90k package as far as I can remember, they also had a fairly hard to come by wishlist... Its been there a few months and I expect it to be there for another few at least... I once read an article written by a well-known business consultant here in NZ and he was saying it wasn't worth it to pay people higher than average salaries, it wasn't worth it to give them an annual salary increase exceeding CPI etc and that his recommendation would be to always get juniors in, train them up and then - even if they leave after one year - just get another junior in to replace the person. Seriously - I think it's absolutely the wrong approach - but that's me. Yes, a company with a certain size would need a certain percentage of junior developers to work more efficiently and to ensure there are new people coming up. Any opinions - really interested in hearing other people's thoughts!\ I hope this guy is well known for spewing rubbish... most business owners/managers should know, the cost of hiring someone new and bring them up to speed far exceeds the cost of losing someone who already knows your system and processes and is a good employee... losing good staff because you only want to pay peanuts is how to lose your talent pool and your competitive edge.

[cfaussie] Re: recruters say CF on the way out? ... FFS! not FUD from them too?
Except that when i try to get people to convert from PHP or .Net, i.e. give CF a go, the usual response is that they usually have MORE than enough work already in either of those, and lack time to go learn another language. I have even brought non Native CF-ers to the CF8 launch with the Vic CFUG. And they charge anywhere between 60-120 per hour and have full time jobs as well as projects on the side. Its abit of a chicken and egg, lack of developers = lack of noticeable presence = management not choosing to do projects in CF because of lack of developers = no one training new CF developers, etc etc etc... and round and round it goes... Personally I am already seriously considering taking up PHP again, but that is a long way off(at least 6 months before I have to seriously consider change jobs), still struggling to find time as it is to learn and practise Flex on my own time. And truth be told if I decided what language to use for any Projects it will probably be CF backend and Flex frontend, but as it stands it is more practical to be known for doing PHP backend and Flex frontend, due to lack of jobs/presence for CF and that is the plain truth. Just have a look at how many jobs are listed for CF each month (and actually try to guess whether its the same jobs you saw last week/month), there are not many if any new jobs. And not many, if any new development studios will pick CF as one of their primary development language. Even 2 months back when i was exploring other job opportunities the pickings were slim, and still are. Just did it to find out what people were looking for, and what people thought CF was going, and what I can reasonably ask for in terms of pay at my current job. The above qoute should read its my career, Adobe's Technology... anyway as a rule i think it will be beneficial for all web developers to know other languages... even if only to read and translate open source solutions into your own projects. PS: I don't like both Adobe and MS equally, and I believe competition is good. Keeps all involved honest and continuously innovating.

[cfaussie] Re: recruters say CF on the way out? ... FFS! not FUD from them too?
Hi Barry, I think the general feeling is that CF in Australia is on the way out. But for us that keep up to that on the global front know that it will be here to stay. Unfortunately for us it seems CF is not being used as extensively as it should Down Under. The shortage is due to a few factors, most important of which is 1) there are not enough good CF- ers to go around, lets be honest you can get away with spaghetti code in CF, which is a double sided blade. 2) There are not enough companies willing to take on new coders without any prior CF experience and 'train' them... 3) Which leads back to business decisions being made that it is easier (and cheaper salary-wise/ contract-wise) to carry out a project in PHP, as you have a big pool of novice-intermediate PHP coders compared to CF coders. I think for Australia at least, if Adobe 1) Does not enforce lower pricing for CF hosting by their hosting partners 2) push CF to Unis 3) review pricing strategies to gain critical mass, In the long run no matter how great the forthcoming versions of CF is going to be, only big MNCs will use it, and unfortunately their coding teams are usually not based in Australia, hence CF will probably keep becoming sidelined in Australia while others continue to grow.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8 purchase
Besides the fact that most of the software Australia gets is packaged in Asia (mainly Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand at the moment), and I believe most of the software in the US is either in Asia or in Central and South America. Hence no matter how much the US gets it for, Aus should get it at a similar price too... This does not only apply to software by the way, plenty of other types of goods have the same sort of price 'inflation' in Australia.

If you think that a company the size of Adobe can;t do the same you a wrong, they already do. And profit from our ignorance, or lack of ability to stand up to them.

[cfaussie] Re: CFCAMP Melbourne Wrapup
Hi Matthew, I was refering to the Max Refresh on October 31 which was free as well, though it was one big wrapup of Max by the local Adobe staff. It was held after the Masterclass Photoshop session. It was held at one of the event rooms at telstra dome. Cheers, Chong On Nov 23, 11:45 am, Matthew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi KC Kuok, I have disagree that the 2 conference should become one. I know for me personally that the cost of attending MAX and being to busy was why I didn't go. The fact that CFCAMP was free and just around the corner meant that I could pop in and out for the session I wanted. If I had to pay for it I wouldn't have been able to justify only attending half of the day. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents worth. I hope that CFCAMP will run every year! BTW: perhaps Adobe could take a leaf out of MS book and market CF differently to grow the community (easy to say, hard to do). But this could be a double edged sword; because if there were more CF developers out there than we'd be worth less $$$... we just need to keep it balanced between a mature decent sized community VS every man and his dog claiming that he can program in CF and diluting the market. I'm off to have a look at TransferORM now.

To show my management that CF has more depth and advantages then what .Net will offer. (TBH i never thought of CF that way, as a platform rather than a web language, abit of marketing there but it is true) I think many businesses will move to an all windows platform because most of management are not involved in the day to day development processes, and because of the marketing dollars MS puts in this part of the world, comparatively people will start believing MS is the best option (and sometimes the only option). CF is too good to be our dirty little secret. Such events will help to grow the community in this part of the world, and also the visibility to the decision makers. Though I do reckon the events should be planned a little more in advanced and have a bigger profile. E.g. the MAX refresh(?) and CFCAMP this year were fairly good this year, but would have been better if both were held together across 2 days? I understand that it was abit of a rush this year, but it could be a mainstay annual event for the major cities. WebDU is good, but not everyone can make it every year, due to monetary and scheduling reasons, it may scavenger WebDU in the short run, but in the long run, a bigger CF community can't hurt. In the years to come, CF and Flex developers will be the one, Adobe RIA developer ? (any such combination title yet?, via adobe certification of course) It seems there are certifications for being an instructor only for Flex and CF, that the only way to go now?

[cfaussie] Re: SOT: Contracting Hourly Rates
@Dale I have a few friends doing contracting work... depending on the customer it is either 90-120 per hour... and these guys are run of the mill non specialist/rockstar type coders. AFAIK some are moving to a per project type of work where everything is signed off with proper methodology in calculating cost from the specs. 90-120 hour may seem quite alot, but contractors do not usually include the money and time taken to meet clients, support and discussions about the project, and they would have to also cover business/operating cost, that may not be directly billable. Also hourly rate does not include things like super and benefits. I am close to your stated general requirement and I would say I would not expect anything less than 70-80 per hour (depending on methodology). Also we do pay some external contractors up to 180 here at work, IMHO they are not worth it but work pays it so /shrug... Although currently i am underpaid monetary wise, but I get good working conditions and get to take more than what I feel is my fair share on going for low cost/free seminars/conferences/gatherings (and i got to go for WebDU this year too!). Also the broader the skillset expected the higher the rate should be of course... numerical number of years is not really the best judge of skillset. As for the vague rule of thumb, the higher you go it should scale down from 3 to 2.5. Cost of business should not differ much whether you are a relative rookie or an old timer.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8 Pricing - Is it a joke?
Spot on about Flex 3 integration Scott. Also you have to remember that CF is now part of the Adobe stable I expect more of the good stuff coming from what is already there in CF8 in future iterations, in relations to out of the box image and PDF manipulation. Not to forget CF7 alone was probably the most scalable and one of the fastest server web app platform around, its only a was because now we have CF 8. Oh and the remark about about how millions of .Net developers compared to the relatively less amount of CF developers... well you know once people used to denounce the minority who said the earth was not flat and instead spherical... Sorry couldn't resist :) Anyway on a serious note, each organisation will choose depending on their needs and budget, no one solution will cover everything, at least I have not seen one yet.

If you're serious about RIA and going down the Flex 3 path, then it makes natural sense to consider CF8 as not only your workflow language but the connection points between client-serverside. I dunno, i look at the overall perspective and if i have the level of skill investment that most of you have made already, it doesn't seem all dark and gloomy per say. What are the realistic pro's and con's in upgrading, weigh that up and associate price to this and determine whether or not your product(s) / project(s) will get significant gains by the upgrade.

Hi Andrew, Could you point you which part of the code hits the DB everytime? I currently have my login 'scripts' (more of files stored in its old folders) called via template when needed at work.

The most common and preferred method would be to once it is authenticated to stick the info into a session variable, and check against that before having to re hit the database for a valid login. As far as request goes that only lives for the current request, so by placing the data into that scope you are running that code each and every page request and again, this is an overhead that can be cut with a change in the way it is coded. Don't get me wrong, each to their own. Personally that method of hitting the DB, and then storing in the request scope is an overhead that really should be avoided if possible.

[cfaussie] Re: What's it all mean for CF developers? [Flex now Open Source'd]
I agree with you Barry. As with the community aspect, I expect there will be Adobe staff assigned to help manage and push the project along, but there will need to be people who are not employed by Adobe to get fully involved. (and they have to be capable and impartial) Adobe will look after their own interest, and once you open source something, you can't un-opensource it, so i believe they would have a detailed plan which they would execute. Ted Patrick's Blog already put down a timeline for the immediate future, I hope for Flex and Adobe's sake they get it right. It is always good for the market to have 2 or more competiting technologies, as it keeps each other honest (in terms of pricing), and both have to constantly innovate. Means cheaper and better stuff faster :) On Apr 27, 11:34 am, Barry Beattie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: this thread didn't really go where I hoped... Angus Johnson and Andrew Muller got closest (thanx guys) (and it looks like it's degraded into the typical off-topic slanging match that [many people] are well and truly over) so before it collapses into a steaming pile of poo... Getting back to Flex and CF (especially since Flex is for front-end UI's and CF is a server technology) - HTML is as good as dead! well, not really but if you're working on a webapp using far too much DHTML (if it's got tabs and child windows) it'll be as good as redundant and old fashioned in 12 months time. If the company you're working for has no strategy for Flex and will persevere with the same tired old HTML, beat the rush and get out now (IMHO) - AJAX is dead (as above). Except in particular situations why bother when Flex will do it all? (http://developerdispatch.com/?p=253Why ActionScript 3.0 Changes Everything) - Accessibility enhancements (especially with screenreaders like JAWS) has just taken a back-seat. MACR were making good in-roads in this area but still had a way to go. If it's left to the community to drive, it won't get any further. it's just not sexy enough or bring in the revenue to justify continued development. It's like rural pay-phones: needs subsidy from other profitable areas. (Lets face it, AJAX is NOT accessible anyway) - The best IDE we can ever hope for will be no better than FlexBuilder. I was heaps more productive with VB6 than I will ever be with an Eclipse-based IDE. I'd rather have one tool that did it all 100% well than have to juggle a bunch of plug-ins, each working 80% well and each having their own quirks (mark this down to personal preference, I suppose). two more points: I've mentioned this at CFUG's but it's worth repeating: - it's now time for CF'ers to step up to the mark on application design (and this means upskilling from their HTML-based request/response mindset). Who understands more about application development, networking, security, robustness and load, et al: a CF programmer or a Flash designer? finally: - one aspect of the community involvement that worries me is the dividing line on who does what - buck passing. An example - CFEclipse: you'd think that the CF dictionary definitions for it would come from Adobe, but no, it's expected that that the community will provide. Why? And CF is a cash cow for Adobe? eh, my 2c only. your mileage may vary. barry.b PS: Mike Chambers a cfaussie member? that's news to me.
