RE: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cf 7 bug?

2006-10-17 Thread Charlie Arehart
Ok, yes, that is clearing the cache. (There is also an available API call to
turn the trusted cache on and off, which would be different.) 

Indeed, the name of this method is a misnomer: it doesn't clear the
trusted cache but instead just clears the template cache. The trusted
option simply controls whether CF should look for newly updated files before
loading them if it already has them in the cache.

All that said, what's the problem you're experiencing? Is it that you change
CFCs and reload, but don't see them? That may instead be caused by problems
in the underlying Java class files. If you want to confirm it, turn off the
save class files option in the Admin, and restart CF (to be safe), then
request your file. Now, that alone may cause it to pick up the changed
files, but you want to go a step further and change the CFC again and reload
it, and confirm if now those are indeed picked up. If so, the save class
files was what was burning you.

I've seen this before, but don't know for sure what causes it, though it may
be related to a problem I reported back in 2002 at:

http://cfmxplus.blogspot.com/2002/11/alert-when-cf-will-fail-to-auto.html

The gist was that I observed problems when you move files from one server to
another, where the CFML file being copied has an older datetime that the
file already compiled class file. There were some interesting nuances, but
it may be that just doing a touch to update the file (on the copied to
server) so it's more recent than the class file may solve it. (That was
then, in like 6.0. Things may be different now.)

There are a few ideas to chew on.

I'll probably just rent a set of clubs,

Re: RE: RE: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cf 7 bug?

2006-10-17 Thread Steven Ross

Ok I gotcha, thanks Charlie. I'm not sure why this is happening to
them. I can ask about  a SVN issue but, I don't think that is what is
going on.

My original question was concerning code not showing up on an existing
server after they use the admin api to clear the trusted cache. Ie:
they put new code into prod, clear the cache and only the cfm files
are reloaded not the cfc's. A co-worker tested this on his windows box
and therein might lie the problem. This site is running on Solaris in
production. I thought by what you said that the clearing of the
trusted cache will only remove the cfm files and not the cfc's? I will
ask about the class files being saved.

This isn't something they can really fiddle with in production since
the 9 machine cluster is serving some serious traffic.

Well, I want to be clear: you say they don't want to restart the server, but
I assume you mean when it comes time to push new code. That's not what I was
referring to when I talked about restarting the server. I was referring just
to a one-time turning off of the save class files option. And even then, I
realize that there are good reasons for it to be enabled in production. I
was just proposing it as a work-around for the problem you were hitting.

But then you also mention that your guy is proposing using the precompiled
templates option. That will then require use of the class files.

As for his assertion that someone restarted the server whenever they did a
push, that seems pretty harsh. With the new admin API ability to clear the
template cache, it would seem no longer required. (And since doing that
didn't solve your problem, I'd say that those are different points of
concern.)

In fact, since you're using CF 7, you may want to investigate this useful
article from Adobe on causing uploaded files to auto-trigger a cache flush:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/cacheclear.html

But is your original point (about a changed CFC not showing up in a request)
related to deployment of code to a new server? If so, then I recommend again
that you consider the point I'd raised (about the possibility that the file
date on the uploaded server is newer than the file date of the file being
uploaded, as can happen if you use source control and roll back to an
earlier version on your dev/staging server.)

Hope that's all helpful.

Yeah the point was that they didn't want to restart the server. I found this
article regarding how MM (I mean Adobe) handles deployment of new code into
their cluster and it gives a good tip on speeding up some of the initial
compilation:

(sorry dont have the url)

Given both Simon's and Bob's comments, I got curious as to how our web team
manages deployments to the Adobe website. Vijay Shah, who used to work on
the CF engineering team, manages the group here. This is what he had to say:

The Adobe site is run on a cluster of servers, all of which have the trusted
cache switch turned on. Every time a new version of the site is to be
deployed, the servers are brought down one at a time, the new set of
precompiled templates pushed in, and then restarted.

Note that the web team pushes out precompiled templates to the production
servers. This is another technique that you could adopt if you want to save
the one-time cost of compilation in production environments. This is
especially important for servers that function under high loads - when a
server is restarted and brought back into the cluster it will brought under
load very suddenly. The cost of simultaneously having to compile a large
number of different templates due to sudden load could bring a server to its
knees! In case you're wondering how to precompile templates, see the
documentation for cfcompile here.

Ajas, you will get it to execute only once if you use

Hi Charlie/Teddy, Thanks for the replies. I was in a meeting and just

some indicator on the query string to tell the next/previous page that you mean 
to use the subset of dataI am thinking on this suggestion 
but wondering how I could access the results from the query EXECUTING IT ONLY 
ONCE i.e. next time I refer to that page it should a)execute query again but 
just give data from when I had left off i.e. if 1st page was 1-15 then 
second request should give 16-30 instead of running query again.b)do not 
execute query and I should be able display records from prev query only even 
though I will refer to that page by hyperlink next previous etc. By the 
way, I am using client variable to store the search word. Here you 
gocfif IsDefined ("txtKeyword") 
cfset client.txtKeyword = 
txtKeyword/cfifSo 
next time when query is run, it will know what was the search keyword and run 
the querywhich brings us to another question... the query is going be the 
same for lets say N requests, but still I could see from the response time that 
its getting executing on every request... If I have confused anyone then 
please let me know and I will email in more 
detail.Thanks.Ajas.

  In an ad hoc solution, I have seen a second query that would perform a query 
  on the original source based upon a start point. The cfouput will 
  typically have a maxrows based upon the query of a query. For the 
  search criteria form, storing the criteria in a shared scope other always 
  helps. The goal would not to change the originating query in any 
  way otherwise the cache will be reset for a different combination. The 
  search criteria would need to exists in the query of the query. 
  Non-adhoc solutions include stored procedures that have increased 
  amounts of complexity to perform conditional queries that can be either 
  dynamically written or programatically built queries.Object Realtional

As for

Well, I don't think imply any difference in the handling of CFCs vs CFM
files regarding the trusted cache, but if that's how you read it, no there's
no difference.

That said, though it's certainly true that if the CFCs instances are stored
in shared variable scopes (session, application), then that would explain
them not being picked up.

Here's another possibility: the CFC may be being picked up from somewhere
other than where you expect. Recall that CFCs are called using an order of
searching which (I think) is the local directory, the web root, any mapped
(CF Admin mappings) directories, the customtags directory, and any added
custom tags directories. If it finds one earlier in that search order, that
would keep it seeing the one you may be changing. Just a thought.

Check the path variable returned in the structure when you call
getmetadata() against the CFC instance, to know for sure.
