[ACFUG Discuss] How to trap bad character - diamond with question mark.
Does anyone have a quick fix for the black diamond with a question mark? Over the years, I've tried all kinds of things and nothing seems to work. Currently, this is in some data that I am importing from another system, so I can't avoid having to deal with it. _ Derrick Peavy derr...@derrickpeavy.com _

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] How to trap bad character - diamond with question mark.
In the past, it has usually helped me to find the ASCII value for the bad character. I'm not sure exactly which character you mean. You might have to get some text with the bad character and the parse it out character by character to find the bad one. Then, just do a find and replace anywhere that text might occur. Hope this helps!

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OpenCMS Installation
You'd need to install in the Enterprise/Developer Multiserver mode of deployment, in order to deploy a WAR-based app (like OpenCMS) alongside CF. Even then, it wouldn't really be running in CF. It would be using JRun as the J2EE server on which it executes. (And no, as far as I know, one cannot deploy a WAR file on CF Standard or on the Server form of deployment for Enterprise/Developer, since those run atop a highly customized version of JRun.) There have been cases of people picking apart a WAR-based app and integrating the two to run at once in a single web app, but it would take a great deal of knowledge of both that app and CF's internals to break the WAR apart, put the right pieces in the right place, assure there are no class/jar conflicts, and so on. It's been done. But really it begs the question: do you need to? Is there real value in both CF and the CMS running as a single web app. If not, it's easier just to run it alongside. To your original question, if you do have the Multiserver mode, then yes you can run OpenCMS as another app on JRun. But if you don't, or if there's not much to be gained with even doing that, you can just stick running it in Tomcat running on the same machine at the same time. The overhead difference in doing so shouldn't be substantial, and especially since you say you're just doing it for development/training purposes. /charlie -Original Message- From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Forrest C.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] OpenCMS Installation
Ok, but in the installer there are a couple of choices that determine how CF is packaged. The standalone installer makes CF basically look like a all-in-one application, minimizing the look that CF is installed in JRun (usually in a directory called ColdFusion8). The multiple instance version looks more like a installation of JRun that has an instance of CF installed (usually in a directory called JRun). The EAR version gives you a EAR file that you can deploy in your own J2EE (or in today's parlance Java EE) server. I think you'll be able to utilize the multiple instance version easier that the standalone version. If OpenCMS will run on Tomcat it will probably run on JRun, but you should expect some bit-twiddling in various configuration files. I'd tell you which but I don't know anything about OpenCMS. -- Howard Fore, howard.f...@hofo.com The universe tends toward maximum irony.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] OpenCMS Installation
Thanks, Charlie, for your suggestions. That's what I expected, but not being thoroughly familiar with the CF underpinnings, I wanted this kind of input. Tomcat seems to be running OK, so I'll proceed to use it with OpenCMS. Let me ask one more question -- I have several versions of the JRE (1.6.0 through 1.6.0_07) and one version of the JDK on my PC. There is also a Jre6 folder under Program Files. I set my CLASSPATH to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\ An installation of Quicktime changed this to .;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip The JAVA_HOMEvariable is set to c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\ Are these OK, or does either need to be more specific?

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OpenCMS Installation
Forest, it generally does not matter at all that you have many versions of the JRE or JDK. Most apps that need a particular one will include one within their own directory, as both CF and JRun (and I imagine Tomcat) do. And they also tend to set their own classpath within their startup scripts, so that your system-wide ones have no direct impact. Still, if you end up running something that doesn't set the classpath and java_home itself, then that's where confusion over these various ones could bite you. But to your specific question, I think you'll find you can ignore them all with respect to the implementation of CF or Tomcat that you'll run for OpenCMS. Beyond that, though, I'll say that your now really straying away from CF topics, and if you have other questions that are related to running OpenCMS, you'll really want to ask those on a forum devoted to it. If you try to run it on Tomcat or JRun, there are also forums/mailing lists devoted specifically to those. /charlie -Original Message- From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Forrest C.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Consulting work
John, I have a project with a client that will end in the next week and have some time before the next big one will start. One of my main clients has been Mfg.com for the past couple of years and I was CTO there for almost 5 years prior to that. Their application is a gigantic CF application, yes I architected it, which serves tens of thousands of members around world daily with their sourcing needs -- average usage is around 400k unique visitors per month . Their application has also won many awards and was previously featured at Adobe Max in 2007. Yes, I am full-time contractor with no day job which is important since it allows for changes in a timely manor. I have personally done CF since V3 and am very well versed with production experience in CF Frameworks (fusebox, machii and model-glue), SQL and have even done some very extensive applications in the Rich Internet Application space as well. Feel free to pass on my name, number and email to your hosting clients and I would enjoy seeing how I could help them out. Any questions let me know.
