Yeah, I've been wondering why this would use multiple threads when the aim is to deliberately single thread the execution. On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 12:44 PM, Mark Mandel wrote: Silly question - why not just run the executing code you want to fire to happen at the end of thread 1? It has exactly

Great, thanks. How much memory is required or recommended for each instance? I'm on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with 4 GB of memory (its max). How many instances would be recommended for that amount of memory? Yes. You add one or more instances to one or more servers. Then you

By default CF uses 512 Megs + up to 128 Megs of memory per instance. You can configure that to be higher, though I wouldn't go any lower. I'd go with a maximum of two instances with that type of system in a production environment. This way, you could allocate about 1.2 gigs per instance and

This is one of those things no one can really answer but you. I can make suggestions, but other people on this list can probably make better ones. Assuming you are 32 bit, your maximum heap size you can allocate to each JVM is 1.8 Gigs. Factors you need to take into consideration are: What

I guess the only real thing I have going here is that, in my experience, life has been 1000x better since we've moved to multi-server with session replication and stickiness. I bet it has. In spite of the few gotcha's I believe it is a better world. The only complaint I've had for our

How can I use wildcard characters in a file path? In a file path for what ? If it is for an HTTP request, the answer is no. If it is for CFFILE, it is still no. Using wild cards could mean that several files could be returned, and both HTTP and CFFILE can deal with only one file at a time.

The question would really just apply to files. I would be automating a daily download from a specific directory to which I have access. The files would follow this format: II20080830_033219_ACR.log Everything but the hour/minute/second part is consistent each day: II20080830_xx_ACR.log

The files would follow this format: II20080830_033219_ACR.log If you're downloading via FTP then you can get a list of the remote files, then loop through the resulting query object to look for the files you want. From the filenames it looks like you're downloading images from MLXchange. I'm

I think, at least as far as remote access to ftp sites are concerned (which is part of my issue), I see in the docs that I can use listdir in cfftp to get the files in a directory, so that solves the download side. And I read in this blog: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:1221.view

The question would really just apply to files. Well, it DOES depend on how you want and can finally get the file. Is the file on YOUR server, or somewhere else. Is the file accessible through HTTP, FTP ? If the file is not on your server, surely you cannot use CFdirectory. If you only have HTTP
