Re: [cfaussie] Re: Coding Standards

[Toby Tremayne]

I have to disagree on that one Robin :)  I personally think Adobe  
pushed cairngorm because it was the only available framework at the  
time, and it died because it's over complicated and doesn't really  
play to Flex's strengths.  Frameworks like Mate etc that use an event  
bus and cater for use of modules etc are much more appropriate, and  
require less development effort.


While I believe that the prejudice against cairngorm is correct :) I  
think some of it also came from the fact that a lot of people started  
looked at cairngorm and started building flex apps as if they were  
J2EE apps.  I'm working on one now for example that was built  
incredibly inflexibly with enormous amounts of inheritance and J2EE  
style architecture when it's both completely unnecessary and actually  
detrimental to the ongoing development of the application.


Of course it all comes down to personal preference, but I loathe  
cairngorm because it takes too much work to get anything happening,  
and lends itself to very bad architecture.  These are of course my own  
heavily opinionated views ;)

Fair call but the manufacturer of a rivet gun should give the user

rivet gun guidelines on how best to use the rivet gun true?


Sure, but I see Livedocs as the CF analog to those guidelines - tags/ 
functions = rivets



Adobe should be saying things like


Can I add Cairngorm to Sean's list of frameworks promoted (gently)

poor reception from the community - people really seem to resent  
Adobe handing out

development guidelines for some reason - see

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Coding Standards

[Toby Tremayne]

Completely agree with Robin here.  It's useful to have someone like  
Adobe propagate a general standard, but a proper coding standard for  
any organization contains more than just general best practice - it  
should proscribe how things are done for the given company, including  
release processes, merging and conflict management procedures etc.   
Also while a lot of what goes into coding standards can be considered  
to be industry wide, there are always environment specific and team  
specific alterations.

That argument doesn't work for me Steve - that's like saying that  
the manufacturer of a rivet gun should determine airworthiness  
standards for aircraft assembled with their products.


Almost all code is written for two audiences - (1) the parser  
attached to the compiler/interpreter and (2) other developers. Adobe  
is responsible for the standard of (1) by definition, because they  
write the parser.  Any other standards exist solely to aid  
comprehension for other developers reading the code.


Every coding standard starts as a "how I write code" document. It  
turns into a standard when a second person takes it up. There can be  
as many coding standards as there are groups of co-operating  
developers, and as long as they aid each group in understanding the  
intent of each-other's code, they're worth having. They're also  
worth sharing with other groups so that good ideas can spread, and  
optimal (for purpose) coding standards can evolve to fill their own  
ecological niche in the standardosphere.


Cheers,
Robin

Re: [cfaussie] Re: JB-HI Moving to dotnet

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Adam,

thanks for weighing in on this.  You know I love you, but... :)

We have to pay to be partners, as well as meet certain criteria. We  
don't then actually get anything from adobe, except some base level  
downloads of software - but the expectation we're getting is to spend  
our own money doing the marketing.  As a partner I got no contact from  
anyone unless I initiated it, and that didn't lead to anything either.


I believe the intent is there, but frankly the partner program isn't  
doing much for a lot of people...

Just dropping a line to say I read this thread in it's entirety and I

unique to ANZ. I'll be sharing these sentiments with Alison (Marketing
Manager) and point her to this thread, but alas, it's things we were
already aware of.

It's still early, but we are really hoping our new resellers/partners
in ANZ step up and promote ColdFusion in the manner Firmware was. It's
hard to put into perspective, but Adobe has well over 125+ products.
The Adobe AU office is small and only focuses on the big ticket items
(LiveCycle, Connect, CS, etc.). This is really conundrum. If we want
Adobe AU (or just Adobe in general) to be more involved w/ CF, then we
would have to dramatically raise the price. Of course, other the other
hand a significant portion of the market thinks ColdFusion is too
expensive as it is and screamed bloody murder when we released CB.

This is all underlined by a failing world economy and we can't ignore
it's effect on the ColdFusion community. For every customer who
doesn't upgrade or migrates to another technology like PHP, .NET or
Railo, it's money that leave our ecosystem. Which means less money for
marketing, conferences, user groups, documentation... this is what
hurts the most about a company like JB-HI leaving CF. It's a vicious
circle for sure, but I do believe we can turn it around...

I'm planning on coming to Melbourne for cf.obj(ANZ). By then, I should
be allowed to share some details on our strategy for ColdFusion X
(albeit under NDA). To share a comment Shantanu Narayen made about CF
X, "Go big, or go home". We certainly don't intend to go home. :-)

[cfaussie] Re: Frameworks on shared hosting

I've run a number of sites small and large on model glue with  
coldspring and transfer on shared hosting and haven't had any  
problems.  i would highly recommend switching to transfer - it has a  
bunch of features lacking in reactor, is much much faster and the  
caching mechanisms are top notch.  If you switch you'll probably find  
that alone seriously increases your performance.

[cfaussie] Re: Linkedin and similar - any one finds them useful?

[Toby Tremayne]

It's definitely worth while setting yourself up on these things.  Some  
of them come and go but if you put in a decent profile and hook up  
with everyone you can, it keeps you visible to the rest of the  
community (which is where a lot of work will come from) and helps you  
stay connected.

I actually have found I get a bit of work through linked in - I've had  
a few excellent clients come to me totally at random via my linked in  
profile.

[cfaussie] Re: CFAUSSIE Problem?

[Toby Tremayne]

Dale are you using gmail by any chance?  I recently setup my Lyricist  
Software email to run through Gmail's premier service, and since then  
I haven't been able to see my own posts to any mailing list - I'm  
assuming something to do with the way gmail handles "conversations".   
If I send a mail directly from gmail then it downloads into my mail  
client, but if I send a mail from my mail client to the mailing list   
it seems gmail marks it as "sent mail" so my client doesn't download  
it into my inbox.

make any sense?

[cfaussie] Re: Recommend dedicated hosting for CF

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Taco,

 I don't know if you're looking for specifically australian, but I have a
dedicated CentOS (linux) server with Crystaltech.  Their service is the best
I've every come across, the machines are great and the prices are
fantastic.  They do windows dedicated hosting as well but I've never used
that.  The cool thing about crystaltech is they're there 24/7/365 and they
email you well before and immediately after anything happens with the
servers or surrounding networks.  If there's a glitch of any sort, even if
you didn't notice it, they'll let you know what happened.

Hi Dale,

 I asked to be removed from the list as i've just landed 4 new clients all
at once so I'm not going to have time to even finish writing my session in
time for cfcamp.  I'm disappointed not to be able to speak but yeah nothing

I will be attending cfcamp, but just as a spectator.

[cfaussie] Re: Call For Papers: webDU 2008

[Toby Tremayne]

A number of us have talked about doing a 1 day melbourne based  
course, and I'm definitely interested in helping out with that kind  
of thing too.

As for webdu - it's ALWAYS going to be in Sydney Dale :)  Daemon run  
it, Daemon make it, Daemon pay for it, Daemon are in sydney.  Fairly  
simple math.
If it's the flight up that bothers you - organize yourself to give a  
talk about something interesting - means you're contributing plus  
gives you a free ticket :)

[cfaussie] Re: Anyone using SQL Delta?

[Toby Tremayne]

I love powerdesigner :)  at the moment I use dezign for databases -  
it's brilliant, quick and very easy to use.  Good for reverse  
engineering existing dbs into diagrams as well, and can generate  
scripts for most dbs.

[cfaussie] Re: Anyone using SQL Delta?

[Toby Tremayne]

I've used it a couple of times - fantastic product for managing  
changes during dev cycles to a live database.  Generally I like to  
base everything from a schema diagram in a db that can generate  
scripts - some of these products can handle making changes /  
additions directly in the db, but when you don't have one of those,  
sqldelta can be very handy.

[cfaussie] Re: CF + Subversion best practices ?

[Toby Tremayne]

Andrea,

I'd recommend against the shared repository - I went that way with a team a
few years ago and it was very painful.  You have the difficulties of user
tracking etc, and when you start using tags and branches properly everything
goes to hell, but primarily we found using the dev server location for
actually committing was a real pain, as designers would regularly drop in
folders, overwrite things or move things about and totally stuff up the .svn
folders etc :)

Let them have just a copy of the codebase on their machines so they can
update and commit their work, make sure your repository is automatically
publishing to the design server, and let the designers cut n paste their
files and folders across to test them, safest all round.

[cfaussie] Re: CF + Subversion best practices ?

[Toby Tremayne]

I'd have to agree.  I've tried it a number of different ways, and the only
really feasible option is to make designers use source control.  On both mac
and windows there are very easy to use ways to tie in source control through
your explorer windows or into dreamweaver etc etc but if you really want the
integrity of your process to survive, designers need to be source control
aware.

The biggest difficulty is that designers don't have local copies of the app
to run and see their changes.  For this you often need a shared location for
the designers to dump their stuff.  It can be worth setting up deployment
scripts or post commit scripts that copy to a second location which is used
purely for the designers to dump their changes and test them out.  But then
you still have to get them to commit to the repository :)

[cfaussie] Re: CF Job, going down in Australia?

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Benign,

cf work is going absolutely crazy here - especially if you like CF &  
Flex.  There's loads of work, and tons of web work in general which  
isn't requiring a particular platform so you can do it in CF.  There  
are still a bunch of actual jobs going, but there's an enormous  
amount of work in contracting etc - get ahold of people in user  
groups or chat to some of the various network people to find more.

[cfaussie] Re: Verity Custom Fields

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Steve,

 I haven't used verity for a while as I've switched to Lucene, but  
I'm pretty sure you can only store text in those fields.  However you  
could serialize a struct into WDDX and dump it in there...

[cfaussie] Re: Scott and Andrew have driven me away

[Toby Tremayne]

Andrew I hate to be so blunt, and I'm genuinely not trying to be  
nasty here  but I think you're missing the point.  It's not just  
about your little wars with Scott Barnes - you (and several others)  
have a habit of regularly making posts that have absolutely no place  
on a professional mailing list.  We're not interested in reading  
those kinds of diatribes, and we're certainly not interested in  
seeing people personally abused, ridiculed and called names.

This is a resource for work - it used to be so good it attracted a  
lot of overseas posters.  Check back through the archives and you'll  
notice that the majority of posts now come from the same half a dozen  
people.  We all interact with the list less because we're sick of  
reading this garbage - I for one don't bother to check my cfaussie  
mail most of the time because I know it will just tick me off.

If nothing else, do the posters of this rubbish not realise that the  
people who read this list are their potential employers and  
colleagues??  Off topic posts are one thing - all lists have them and  
they can be important.  But the sort of thing that's been posted here  
over the last year or so (and almost constantly in the last few  
months) is puerile, needless and a total waste of everyone's time.  I  
don't care whether you post on watercooler or whatever.  I do think  
it would be nice if you (and I'm using you as an example, not the  
source of all evil) could treat this professional list and the people  
on it with the respect they deserve.

[cfaussie] Re: SOT:Adobe & Flex let me down

[Toby Tremayne]

I'd like to weigh in on this too - Jeremy i can understand your  
difficulties attempting to get your head around flex in so short a  
time, but there are a couple of points I'd like to make:

1) All companies are guilty of focusing on what the good Dr Hilliard  
calls the "Elevator Pitch" - showing the bells and whistles that make  
things incredibly easy, and not focusing on the long term  
requirements.  But to be totally honest that's no different than  
allaire/macromedia et al have ever done with CF.  Low entry barrier -  
some things are dead easy to do.  That doesn't mean you'll be able to  
build complex apps in a day.  Think about it - we all know it take 2  
minutes to use cfquery and cfoutput and write a dynamic page to view  
data in a db.  But none of us assume that means we're going to be  
able to write enterprise apps integrating with all manner of things  
and using complex OO frameworks etc in no time.

2) AS3 is pretty easy to learn in and of itself - but that doesn't  
mean you're going to know the whole API and all the ins and outs in a  
week.  You can knock up simple little example apps in no time at all,  
but if you're looking at building anything serious, you need to take  
the time to understand the event model and asynchronous calls among  
other things.  I don't see this at all as a failing of the language  
OR of adobe.  Anyone who leaps into a new technology for a short  
fixed deadline based on just the "elevator pitch" is bound to feel pain.

3)  Once you've learned the basic differences and gotten past the web  
based request/response paradigm, you'll find flex magnificent -and  
very RAD.  There is yet to be a language developed that just lets you  
say "I want this and this and this and this" and it magically works.

I hope you get the chance to give flex another try.  When I first had  
at it, I was in exactly the same boat as you - and I had trouble  
shifting paradigms in my thinking.  But with the advice of people on  
the lists and reading the books I'm absolutely loving it now - it's a  
seriously powerful tool and is going to be very important in the not  
too distant future I think.  Don't be discouraged by the fact that it  
doesn't happen overnight.

[cfaussie] Re: OT: Subversion

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi AJ,

depends on what you're doing.  If you're talking about an  
application that is in production yet has ongoing development as well  
as maintenance, something like this is good:

Ongoing normal development is done in the trunk.  When you have a  
stable release, tag it, and create a branch (IE release_10).

Now you *know* that the code on the live server is what's under  
release_10.  The reason we create a branch is so that we can make  
maintenance fixes on that branch.  For example if you have some  
ongoing development that's not finished, but you need to make an  
urgent patch to the live version of the application, then you make  
the patch on the relevant branch, make sure it works, then re-release  
(or you make X number of fixes and do weekly releases etc).

When you've done this, you take a look at the fix and see if it's  
still relevant to the main trunk which has now moved ahead of that  
release.  If not, you ignore it - if it's still needed in the trunk  
then you merge it in.

If you have a very large team and you have one or two people doing  
experimental stuff on your app for example, you may want to create  
separate branches for them to work on to keep their changes away from  
the trunk.

The big caveat here is that part of your release management NEEDS to  
ensure that changes to maintenance branches are always merged into  
the trunk, and that ongoing trunk developments are merged into  
experimental branches / forks where applicable.

[cfaussie] Re: OT - Regex for incrementing number

[Toby Tremayne]

I don't think so Justin - regex is intended for processing text so it  
doesn't have much in the way of math functions as far as I know.  You  
might be best to simply loop through the digits and check that each  
is greater than, and the same distance from the previous.

if you go look at your datasource in coldfusion administrator, under

[cfaussie] Re: Web Version Control

[Toby Tremayne]

One really simple option is these guys :http://www.wush.net/ 
subversion.php

nice and cheap, and means your repository is available anywhere on  
the internet.  Tie that in with eclipse plugins or tortoiseSVN and  
you're laughing.  In terms of CVS vs SVN - SVN is a more modern build  
of CVS essentially, so go with SVN.

[cfaussie] Re: Fusebox question

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Ryan,

the way I write most of my fusebox apps these days is to build the  
entire model in CFCs, and use invoke calls where I used to use act_  
and qry_ calls.  This is useful for a number of reasons and  
specifically will answer your below query by allowing you to set the  
name of a query at the time you call the object.  For example:





That help?

[cfaussie] Re: SOT: Flex 2 Training in Melbourne?

[Toby Tremayne]

The course and course cost don't include any kind of consulting gig  
or offer, I imagine those kinds of things will be managed case by  
case as work comes up and Robin finds people he can use.

[Toby Tremayne]

Just in case anyone who's interested has missed it - Rocketboots are  
running another course at that price for consultants (it's  
specifically to build up a base of people they can work with) so if  
you're consulting and going to be doing flex etc then give them a  
yell.  I'm not sure how many positions are left though, the course is  
end of Feb.

[cfaussie] Re: cfinvoke webservice, xml response and 'cf' datatypes

[Toby Tremayne]

Yes :)  But using cf to grab the response isn't necessarily 100%  
accurate, as depending on his application and network environment,  
the overall http response packet could differ from being read locally  
on the server to being transferred out to a browser.  If Adam just  
needs the generated SOAP then what you've described is an easy way to  
get it and he doesn't necessarily need a tcp viewer.  If however he  
wants to see exactly what the browser is seeing and sending, then he  
needs the viewer.

[cfaussie] Re: cfinvoke webservice, xml response and 'cf' datatypes

That will get the generated response from cf, but the full detail of  
what is received by the browser could be altered by his environment  
or application - so the only way to see that is look at the full  
message and response.

[cfaussie] Re: cfinvoke webservice, xml response and 'cf' datatypes

[Toby Tremayne]

Having re-read the second part of your email I'd also recommend that  
you're probably best off creating an xml packet to return rather than  
passing a native array - that way your service becomes tech agnostic  
and you can consume it any way you like.

Hi Adam,

what you need is an http proxy - basic principal is that you goto  
http://localhost:somerandomport  and setup the http forwarder to  
listen on that port, but forward to your proper web address.  Then  
you make your web requests as normal and you can watch the raw data  
being dumped through the proxy.  TCPDump is a good one, and there are  
a bunch of them available online for free, some very simple some  
quite sophisticated.

[cfaussie] Re: pdf embedding

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Shane,

	yeah I'm looking at iText now - have found a few examples of people  
using it.  CF does indeed use iText for cfdocument etc, but it's  
possible to also run the latest iText alongside it.

Hi Toby,

If you are willing to go the Java route, you could use the iText  
(Lowagie) library to combine the cover PDF with a separate PDF  
generated from the image (or maybe even the image directly). We use  
this in some Java code and it works quite well. I think it is a  
little less resource hungry than other libraries such as FOP.


http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#template

I heard a rumour somewhere that CF uses iText as its PDF engine  
anyway.

I'm not entirely sure.

Basically I have a print quality pdf of a book cover, into which I   
need to put a set location for a user uploaded image.  The idea is   
the book cover pdf needs to be as is, and have the image inserted

[cfaussie] Re: Form building/validating cf tools

[Toby Tremayne]

cfform in cf7 is awesome - some very good features not to mention  
flashforms and xml forms.  I'd agree that you shouldn't use cfform  
and it's ilk before cf7 but now it's pretty good.

If you don't want to go down that route however, I would seriously  
recommend qForms.  It's very easy to use and very powerful - has just  
about everything you need for validation.

[cfaussie] Re: SOT - Windows Vista and ColdFusion

[Toby Tremayne]

Just to be a pain :)  It's actually quite different, if you're  
running parallels on an intel mac.  Parallels runs virtualization,  
meaning it doesn't take the kind of power and memory footprint vmware  
does - I can run my apps at full speed in a parallels window on my  
mac while still running everything else on my desktop.  I don't know  
if parallels exists for other platforms (never bothered looking) but  
on the mactels you have the advantage of twin cpu so you can split  
processing to wonderful effect.

Thanks Mark - I have it working now.  I was looking at David Frekke's

jars for stax2 - once I had the right stuff (from the woodstox  
project) it worked fine.  Very handy tool.

[cfaussie] large xml file problem

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi All,

I have a problem reading a large file.  It's an xml file which I  
need to be able to parse and search, so using the java filereader /  
bufferedreader trick doesn't help me.  Problem is the file is 21MB  
and it seems to be crashing the server when I read it in using  
cffile.  Can anyone suggest any ways to fix this, or do I need to go  
back to csv and process it line by line?

[cfaussie] Re: csv File Import problem

[Toby Tremayne]

I had something like this just recently, reading a file with cffile  
on linux, but the file was created by cf on windows.  Try adjusting  
the charset in the cffile type to Windows-1252 or iso-8859-1 and see  
if that helps.
Failing that, I found just using trim() on the values gets rid of the  
extra chars.

[Toby Tremayne]

I'd second that - I've been using postgresql for years, and it's a fantastic product.  There are plenty of people you can get support from in australia, including some of the core dev team, and pgsql can run as fast or faster than mysql when properly setup.  TobyOn 13/11/2006, at 12:23 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:On Sun, Nov 12, 2006 at 05:04:40PM -0800, Matthew wrote: I've been working on a website built using MySQL and have beenfrustraited by it on numerious occasions over the past 8 months.Admittedly we are running v4.1 however because I've got much moreexperience with SQL Server (and from what I've read it is the betterchoice) I'm looking for some feedback on MySQL 5 vs SQL Server 2005?Some of my frustrations with MySQL are:- Only 1 query per - Unable to handle complex join queries e.g. I ran a complex query in atrail version of SQL Server 2000 and it returned in 3 seconds, it took33 mins in MySQL (this may be becuase we are using a non enterpriseversion - are there different versions???)- The server grinds to a holt with my complex queries which in turnkills the website.

Instead of looking at moving to MS SQL anything, check out PostgreSQL.http://www.postgresql.org/It's open source and much better than MySQL at handling heavy transactional(ie: multiple concurrant read & write) sites. There's local support through Fujitsu if management gets fussy abouthaving someone to have on call.The latest versions (8.1, soon to be 8.2) have Point In Time Recovery(PITR) facilities that let you backup the entire server in a veryshort period of time. A couple of commands and an RSync session areall that's needed. 8.2 will introduce additional commands designedto make a hot-spare system much easier to setup, as well.CheersPaul HaddonTechnical Services ManagerFormstar Print Technologies

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney

[Toby Tremayne]

I'll be going this year, and will be self funded as well, flying up from melbourne.  If you're clever about your flights and accommodation it doesn't really cost too much extra, and considering the quality the event always manages I see the whole price as a bargain.  I walk away from these conferences every time having had a ball, learnt a lot and made good friends and business contacts.  I'm not a huge fan of sydney to be honest but it's probably more central to the cf community as a whole, and when all is said and done, we wouldn't have an aussie convention at all - let alone one this good - if Geoff and his team weren't doing it (among the many other great things they've done for the community and my career!), so I think it perfectly fair for them to put it on in their home city.Microsofts "Road shows" may seem more successful, but the fact is Daemon, while they obviously get publicity etc out of the conference, are not flogging a particular product or service, they're promoting the community.  If they had a bottomless marketing budget and the conference was  centered on selling their products then I'd agree that I wouldn't go to it unless it was local.  But webdu is a totally different kind of event, one I'd do my best to attend even if it did cost more than it does.TobyOn 12/10/2006, at 11:55 AM, Barry Beattie wrote:Dale, I'll seriously bring this up at the next QLDCFUG, to see whatthe gut feeling is... and get back to you.Be warned tho, there's lots of Bris people who do the travel. and some(like me) are self-funded to do so. but I will ask.Please remember that (temp) moving is a huge ask.

[cfaussie] Re: OT: Best development laptop?

[Toby Tremayne]

I use a 17 inch macbook pro, and I absolutely love it.  It has the power of unix if you need it, it has the ease of use of mac software and hardware and with parallels I can comfortably run windows and windows apps at full speed.  Under parallels win2k and winxp run faster than they did on the desktop I just upgraded from.	I currently have parallels virtual machines for every client environment I work on, and it makes my life s much easier.  There's nothing I need to run that I can't run on this machine, including visual db design apps under windows etc.TobyOn 08/09/2006, at 11:10 AM, Haikal Saadh wrote:Shame that it has to be a PC... a 17" Powerbook/MBP  would fit the bill nicely.It might be worthwhile seeing of there are Mac alternatives to the software you useiI don't know how much of enterprise manager's feature set you need, but there are heaps of tools that do what query analyser does.Don't know about access and goldmine... but for what it's worth, I use my powerbook for 99.99% of the work I need to do (CF, java and flash development), and for the few odd times I need to use a windows app, there's a headless box under my desk that I can remote desktop into.Ryan Sabir wrote: Hey all,Which laptop is the discerning web developers laptop of choice these days?I'm looking to make myself more mobile and am wondering which road to head down.My requirements in order of importance are:    Large Screen    Battery life    Performance    LightweightWhat are you guys using?

[cfaussie] Re: Fullasagoog a waste of time.

[Toby Tremayne]

A couple of points Dale - 1) fullasagoog is not supposed to be pure coldfusion2) these are *blogs*.  Every one of them is a personal journal, and while some of the posters write almost nothing but technical articles, some of them also write personal stuff.  It's not supposed to be a technical news feed.3) It's a free service, and you don't have to read the ones you don't like :)TobyOn 17/08/2006, at 4:56 PM, Dale Fraser wrote:I recently dropped all my favourite feeds in Google and put in Fullasagoog Coldfusion Blend instead. Wow, am I disappointed.

I think based on the fact they might talk about Coldfusion occasionally. Take number 2 for example “My Real Story”http://jehiah.com/ Have a look at his blog, there is basically nothing on Coldfusion in there. I seriously think they should fix this to only pickup blogs with Coldfusion Categories rather than the whole bag of crap.RegardsDale Fraserhttp://dale.fraser.id.au

[cfaussie] maps in emails

Hi all,	can anyone recommend a solution for showing street maps from australian locations given an address, but that works in such a way that I can deliver the result inside an html email?	I was looking at google maps, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to include something like that in an email, as the key you use is specific to the orginating server, so peeopel viewing their emails on their computers would be blocked.	Any suggestions would be helpful - it's for a property listing thingy and I basically need to show a local street map given the street address.cheers,Toby ---	Life is poetry, write it in your own words---Toby TremayneSenior Technical ConsultantLyricist Software0416 048 090ICQ: 13107913

I agree with Steve - I've come across a number of people who follow  
the view of charging for being onsite etc, but I have a hard time  
justifying to myself charging for anything other than just the exact  
hours I worked on documentation and code etc.

The CFUnit-Ant project is pretty handy, and can be used to great  
effect in eclipse for example.  You can easily setup an eclipse  
"builder" for your project, and whenever you save your files it will  
autorun your build scripts, which you can have configured to run your  
cfunit tests.  Can be surprisingly helpful in picking up unexpected  
bugs.

[cfaussie] Re: CFMX7 still

[Toby Tremayne]

The only thing I can think of to throw in there off the top of my head is to open the offending cfm files in a couple of different editors.  I say this because I had a similar issue once before and I ultimately (accidentally) discovered that the editor i was using at the time wasn't displaying a certain character properly so I couldn't see that it was there.cheers,TobyOn 05/06/2006, at 4:15 PM, Taco Fleur wrote:Hi,   no there is nothing, not one variable, we have isolated it to one simple cfm page. it's really driving us nuts.  On 6/5/06, murrah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Just tested:[EMAIL PROTECTED] " to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"subject="some subject">and it all worked fine.Is it something in the body of the tag, rather than the tag itself ?

For anyone following the thread I'd also recommend grabbing a little jar file called Luke.  It's a simple little app that lets you peer directly into your indexes and run queries against them - very handy when you're debugging.cheers,TobyOn 05/06/2006, at 3:28 PM, Toby Tremayne wrote:I'll clarify - Lucene comes as a jar file :)It's part of the apache jakarta project, but you don't need apache or anything else to use it.  You can just drop the jar into your jrun classpath and away you go.TobyOn 05/06/2006, at 3:15 PM, Ryan Sabir wrote:  Regarding Lucene,   Does it only run on Apache?

Hi Taco,

in terms of Lucene (the apache version) I've been using it  
extensively and have nothing but raves to report.  It actually  
doesn't need quite as much setup as it seems from the outside, and  
it's incredibly powerful - not to mention very very fast.  If you go  
down that route, feel free to drop me a line if you need any help.

cheers,

[cfaussie] adobe RDS plugin generated cfcs

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi all,

has anyone used the cfcs generated by the adobe RDS plugin, or built  
similar?  I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a bright idea to  
counter the huge performance hit I'm seeing in using things this way.

In my current environment, the powers that be want everything in  
objects, unit testable, passing around beans / DAOs etc.  So I have a  
DAO for my object data management, and instead of a query of results  
I work with an array of objects (instantiated cfcs).  Using the  
traditional getters and setters type methods, this is slowing things  
down massively, especially when dealing with a decent recordset.

My question is - is there a clever way to alleviate this impact or  
is this a symptom of trying to force too much object-ness into cf?

Toby

[cfaussie] Re: Flavours of Linux and Coldfusion.

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi Gareth,

I use cf on linux constantly and have for a long time.  Fedora core  
should be ok, I believe redhat enterprise is a supported platform and  
I know it operates fine on the latter at least.  Other great  
distributions for it are suse and gentoo, according to your needs.

There are many solutions for remote managing a linux box.  You might  
be best to do a basic non graphical install of your distribution (IE  
don't bother with Xwindows etc) and then load on something like  
webmin - a web based app that will let you administer the box through  
a browser.

If you need any help with this kind of thing feel free to give me a  
yell.  You'll find coldfusion on linux tends to run better than on  
windows, and you have many more options in your environment.

cheers,
Toby

[cfaussie] Re: OT: eclipse weirdness

[Toby Tremayne]

That's the freaky thing, i'm on OSX Tiger, and the only plugins I  
have are stable version of cfeclipse, svn and a jjra plugin.  I'm  
almost positive it's been happening since I installed originally, but  
I'll do some more checking after removing a couple of plugins...

as for cut n paste, it happens whether it's typed, pasted or even if  
it's there in the file before I open it :)

Hi Chris,

yup I meant 3.1.2 - and the line I pasted previously *was* the  
context :)  doesn't matter what kind of file I'm editing, doesn't  
matter if it's the only text in the file - if I enter an "l" followed  
by a forward slash the two characters disappear from the editor.   
They're still there - I can see them if I edit in vi or some such,  
but I can't see them in eclipse.  So a line that should read:



now reads:

[cfaussie] OT: eclipse weirdness

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi all,

I thought I'd ask here as general eclipse lists have availed me  
naught thus far...

Has anyone using eclipse / cfeclipse noticed odd behaviour when they  
type a string containing "l/" ?
If you're wondering, that's a lowercase L followed immediately by a  
forward slash.  When I type this in eclipse for some reason both  
characters then disappear.  They're still there, but the ui hides  
them from me.  Anyone at all know what causes this - or more  
importantly how to stop it?

It's a real pain when your path is /blah/cvmail/somethingorother...

cheers,
Toby
