Cold Fusion Issue
Hi There my name is Javier and I am a baby on this java issues.
I am having this problem trying to get the pay flow program from VeriSign to work with the cold fusion administrator I did all the steps but when I test it came out with an error saying that I need to install the JVM or JRE because it didn't find it so you need to tell the path of the jvm.dll on the Cold Fusion Administrator in order for this test to run succesfully.
I did a search for jvm.dll nothin but I notice there is some java files there so I did a test went to this site download jre 4.1.1.8 and install it on my home computer the installation went fine and then I notice the installation creates a directory called JRE4.1.1.8 and I did a search for the jvm.dll but also ntohing like that shows up instead I found two dll files, javai.dll and another java dll file but the question is: IF i DESIRE TO INSTALL THE NEW VERSION OF JVM ON THE SERVER WHAT DLL FILE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE DEFINE ON THE COLD FUSION ADMINISTRATOR, was there any changes from the last version of JVM to the news version I am assuming there is but I don't know what to look for.
Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated.
Did you figure out the solution to your problem? I am running into the same issue.

How not to use Cold Fusion and Java
Overview
This write up is intended to give java developers that are
developing ColdFusion applications some beneficial information:
things that are not documented.
Scenario
The company builds enterprise class web application software
for fortune 500 companies. It had purchased a CF 7 based product,
had and existing proprietary J2EE based product, and needed to
integrate the two while meeting a host of new requirements. These
requirements were based on delivering a better user experience,
faster / cheaper integration, increased flexibility /
configuration, useablily, decreasing maintenance costs, the ability
to deploy in either install or ASP models. An initiative was
started to create a new framework that integrated the best of each
technologies. Tactically, this meant that we were to build a hybrid
CF and java application: one that used building blocks (decoupled /
cohesive components) that would allow applications to be rapidly
assembled, configured and deployed. This made sense on several
levels, the team was composed of Java and CF developers, the CF
rapid application development was very productive, there is great
functionality delivered in the CF platform and initial performance
tests showed no cause for alarm
The agreed upon design, based on requirements, and analysis
by both the CF and Java staff has us using CF in the presentation
layer, using a CF based MVC, use of CF based web services. The MVC
was deployed using CFC inheritance for model objects and views made
use of CF custom tags. The internals of the application, used a
rules engine, some proprietary java, ORM, and other J2EE
technology. The initial performance of the system was reasonable.
We pushed on with product implementation.
Then it was time to load test the application, and tune it.
Under load the response times were orders of magnitude slower,
sometimes the pages even timed out.
Armed with our profiler, oracle execution plans and we
charged ahead addressing issue after issue. Note that we took
meticulous care in tweaking the active thread pool and ensuring
that our CF setup was tuned for our application. None of the
observations here are a condemnation of the language; rather they
are aspects that, when considered together, not conducive for
building integrated java and CF frameworks that use a structured /
OO programming practices. Further detail can be provided on
request.
CFC inheritance should be avoided - resolution of variable
scope is expensive even if properly declared.
Since CF creates a class per method under the covers call
stacks become very large, especially if used in a loop. This is
nominally exacerbated by CF calls necessary to set up for the
method call (String.toUpper()).
Nesting of loops and if statements should be kept to a
minimum - the conditional for each lookup of logical operator like
LT, GT are synchronized. Under load this results in thread waits.
Jrun has as single thread pool - both http and web service
requests use the same pool. Under load this leads to thread
deadlock. There are work arounds, but they are painful.
Recursion should be avoided - we had a few recursive routines
and these had to be rewritten.
Custom Tags - should be used sparingly - each custom tag
makes a synchronized call to the license server - (This may be
fixed in CF 8)
Summary
In the end we got the performance to reasonable numbers, but
we ended up moving some code to java (Custom Tags) and getting rid
of 'good programming' practices (Inheritance, loops, etc), mandated
proper variable scoping for those things left over. We prototyped a
sans cold fusion implementation and had an order of magnitude
improvement in performance and number of requests served per
second.
The lesson? Use Coldfusion in its sweet spot: make a query,
iterate over the results and format for display. Extensive use of
structure programming techniques or OO CFCs should be avoided: they
will work but under load - but are better as a prototype. Building
frameworks in CF? Think twice, no three times, and, if you must, be
minimalist.
Textinteresting aslbert123,
Not that I doubt you, but could you answer some questions
about your implementation that was so slow:
1.) Did you put your CFCs in the application or server scope?
2.) Were you initializing your CFCs, via CreateObject or
<cfinvoke>, on every request?
3.) Are you sure that you were properly Var'ing every
variable in your methods? (people typically forget about query
names and loop iterator variables)
4.) Could you give examples of how your inheritence was set
up?
5.) For CustomTags, did you call them the old <cf_tag>
way or the newer, better-performing <cfimport> way?
6.) How did you connect CF to Java exactly?
Thanks,

Can you run the latest Cold Fusion version in association
with CS3 Web Premium for Mac on a Mac without a Windows
shell?Scooter,
I use a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) and run CFMX 7.0.2 (on top
of JRun 4 and NOT as a standalone web server) with no issues. I
also have CS 2.3 Premium on my machine. I will be getting CS3 in
about a week or two when it releases but there should be no issues
whatsoever with this configuration. -
Cannot browse server following installation of hotfix 4 to Cold Fusion 9.0.1
Hi
I've been tasked with updating a ColdFusion 9.0.1 installation to the latest patches. I've started with Hotfix 4. The installation appeared to go OK, and the services started after I applied the update. However, when I went to moved onto the next update (APSB13-10) starting by browsing to the update file I ran into a problem. When I click on the "browse server" button to locate the .jar file for the next update I encounter an error: "Unable to authenticate on RDS server using current security information". I've also found that if I try to put the full path into the Update File line and hit "Submit Changes" it errors.
This seems to be the same problem as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5256752#5256752, but there's no solution to the problem in that discussion.
I've checked the RDS settings, and RDS is unchecked. I notice that this screen is different from the pre-upgrade screen, but this seems to be as a result of, I think, APSB13-03, which is included in HotFix 4. If I try to make any changes on this screen it errors and logs me out of the Cold Fusion administrator. I've tried commenting out the RDS section in the web.xml file, but this gives me a different error.
I'm doing this on an isolated test server which has no access to the network. If I revert to the snapshot I took before the upgrade attempt ColdFusion runs as expected.
Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.In case it helps anyone I've realised what I was doing wrong here.
The main “problem” was that one of the updates included in Cumulative Hotfix 4 is APSB13-03 (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-security-hotfix-apsb13-03.html). I knew this changed the behaviour of RDS but my knowledge prior to this work of ColdFusion and in particular RDS was very limited, and so I didn't understand the implications of this hotfix. What this update does is disable RDS by default; I wasn't really aware what the RDS status of my server was prior to the update, partly because before this update there is no "disable RDS" tick box to show whether it is enabled or disabled. With RDS disabled, you can't browse as the update instructions require you to do. Obviously RDS was enabled on my setup without me realising it.
My understanding of this wasn't helped by the fact that when I tried to paste a path into the box and hit the "update" button I got a different error, which I described in my original post. Similarly if I tried to change RDS settings, or do pretty much anything in the administrator, it failed and logged me out in the same way. It seemed to me that the whole thing was broken by the updates and I didn't know how to fix it.
So, following the excellent advice of Charlie Arehart in two articles: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/12/12/cfmyths_cumulative_hotfixes and http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2011/10/21/why_chfs_may_break, I went back to the start and installed the cumulative hotfixes one by one. Although I don't think I actually needed to do this, as Hotfix 4 seems to contain all the previous hotfixes, it did help me realise that the browsing/RDS issue and the error and logout when I tried to do anything in the administrator were two different problems. After further bit of googling I found people suggesting that you should use https to access the administrator, but the shortcut I had was taking me to http (as far as I know I was using the default shortcut). I found that by going to https the problem of being logged out when trying to do anything disappeared and I could put a UNC path in to update the .jar file for the next update. I also was now able to enable RDS for single password and could browse like the hotfix instructions advise. I've since disabled RDS and accepted the inability to browse as a "feature", happy that it's more secure as a result.
So my “problems” were largely self-inflicted due to my own ignorance of the product, but it wasn’t helped by Adobe’s apparent inability to grasp that there may be similarly ignorant people attempting these updates. It would have been nice to see some guidance from them. Furthermore, the cumulative hotfix 4 page (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/cumulative-hotfix-4-coldfusion-901.html) doesn’t even mention RDS, let alone that the default behaviour changes. It’s only when you check the individual hotfix information that you can see the information that helped me to realise where I was going wrong.
As for using https not http; great, but if I’m right that my shortcut is the default out-of-the-box shortcut, where’s the information to advise to change to using https as a result of one of the hotfixes included in hotfix 4 (originally, I think, hotfix 2)? It’s certainly not mentioned on the page for cumulative hotfix 4. -
Cold Fusion Application Server
Hello all,
I'm having the weirdest issue with our CF server. They do not
run. However when I start Cold Fusion Application Server, I cannot
login to any of my backend admins. I suspect that it is because it
tries to set an application variable. Then I check for to see if
there the app var is set, if not it redirects to the login page.
I am guessing that the app var is not being set. If I stop
Cold Fusion Application Server, everything works fine.
I don't want to have reinstall CF 5 (on Windows 2000 srv).
Any ideas???
thanksDettCom,
I had a similar problem to this, but I don't know if you have
the same configuration (it was on CF 6.1). I don't know a whole lot
on CF 5.
I was storing client variables in the cdata/cglobal tables,
and one variable's string ended up longer than I had planned for
(although it was, in fact, correct). I had to increase the size of
the "data" field in CDATA.
Also, anything in the logs? (I know you probably would have
mentioned if there were).

Cold fusion 9 500 - Internal server error.
all of a sudden none of our cfm web pages work on a windows 8 server running iis 7 .... the server shows no errors in the event viewer .... occasionally functionality comes back w/o doing anything ...... cold fusion did have all the hotfixes updated a few months ago but i cant get to the admin page to give what the version is
thxsWell if you got over your misplaced indignation for a moment, let's see:
ColdFusion is what people will google for, so in the spirit of helping others who might have the same question as you later on, spelling it right will help the community.
Jason's observation that you give us absolutely nothing to go on so it's basically impossible to help you is a fairly poignant observation, right? You do want help? Right, so here's some suggestions:
Articulate your issue clearly, with sufficient detail that we can help you. Read this:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smartquestions.html
Secondly... being rude to someone like Jason who really is one of the most helpful people on
these forums is a pretty stupid idea. And just serves to make you look a bit of a [profanity edited out]. Esp. with the caps lock on.
But anyway, let's call that a false start. Give us the details of your issue, and we'll try to help.
Cheers.

we have an issue displaying content that is under a database,
with a datatype ntext. CF don't give us any error but it just don't
display the field that is in a ntext datatype.
Is there a way to get Cold Fusion to display the content that
is under that datatype?
Everything goes well with CF5 but with CF7, that problem
appear??? Help anyone???I have correct the problem by placing the ntext value last in
the select statement... that is king of weird... doesn anybody know
another way to correct that problem???
You have to put:
<cfquery datasource="dsfusion" name = "voir">
select
id,titre,chronique,images,date_parution,heure_parution,signature,domaine,chroniqueur,cour riel,grande_images,commentaire,approbation,para1,para2,para3,para4,para5,para6,para7,para8 ,para9,para10
from contenu
where id = #identification#

instead of
<cfquery datasource="dsfusion" name = "voir">
select * from contenu

SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 compatiblity with Cold Fusion 5.0
Our Cold Fusion Server is on Version 5.0 and database server is running SQL 2000. DBA's like to upgrade SQL Server to 2008/ R2. Is there any known issues in running or upgrading from Cold Fusion 5.0 with SQL Server 2008/R2 ?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Cold Fusion MX 7 MultiServer Cluster Question
Hey all,
I've configured 2 Cold Fusion MX 7 servers running 2
instances each. I've configured a cluster between them and have the
Proxy Listener up and running.
When I access the page, everything comes up just fine... but
when I round robin between them, I'm losing my session.
I've enabled J2EE Session variables, I enabled the load
balancing of sessions in the JRun admin console on the machines.
What am I doing wrong? I know the session is being written
the machine(s) because I can see them in the directories on the
servers.We've been having a similar issue, with occasional pages
hanging for hundreds of seconds at that same
JrppBufferedOutputStream, which SeeFusion identifies as "Writing
completed page back to the Web server".
This happens randomly throughout the day, more often when
there's more traffic, but also in the wee hours with relatively few
visitors; nothing else appears to be going on, often with the
long-running thread the only active thread.
Our setup is pretty similar to yours, CFMX7, MSSQL2000,
Win2k3 Server, but with dual Xeons instead of single-CPU. We've
applied the significant hotfixes, including the DST update to the
1.4.2_11 JVM. I'm not positive we've updated to the latest IIS
connector (as mentioned in
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-02.html),
but will be checking, just to be sure. If you also don't have the
newest connector installed, that would be an interesting
commonality.
We had problems in the past with CF locking up completely
during one of these hung threads, but after some tweaking to
stabilize memory usage below 80%, the lockups are rare.
So I have no answer, but will be sure to share any solution
we do find with you, and hope you'll do the same! :*) -
Windows Server 2003 and Cold Fusion
Hello all,
Our webmaster recently retired, leaving me in charge of our
intranet, which uses Cold Fusion. Now, I don't know much about CF,
and our System Administrator just asked me if I had any problem
with them running Cold Fusion 7 on a Windows Server 2003 box. It
looks like they should be compatible, based on what I've read, but
I wanted to know if anyone has experienced any pitfalls with this
setup? I wanted an answer from someone "in the know" before I gave
my folks bad info!
Thanks much!S_Allen wrote:

They work fine on our machines. The only real issue is that
overzealous
Windows 2003 security precautions can be a hassle during
installation.
But this is well documented and easily worked around. -
Cold Fusion GDK - need help quick!
We need someone to please recommend a consultant that has experience working with the Cold Fusion GDK and user authentication. Please contact Tracy Underwood at the Simmons Company 770 392 2522
Hi
Can you show us the screenshot of permissions of wwwroot folder and sub-directory folder?
Also, can you create a new site in IIS and create the same directory structure however assign permisison as Everyone and then test the behavior. As you have configured the connector with All then you need not to create the connector once again. The reason why CFIDE and jakarta are working fine because they are not the actual directories, they are virtual. So in conclusion, the issue seems like the .cfm present inside the subdirectories are not working fine.
It seems like .htm is working fine within the subdirectory.
HTH
Thanks

Cold Fusion service stops unexpectedly
With Cold Fusion MX 7.0.2, the service stops unexpectedly. In
doing this, the WWW service stops, as well. I have not found a
thing reagrding this problem. This has been happening for a while,
and on serveral of my servers. We run Windows 2000 with IIS4.0.
Adobe seems to not have a clue, which really bothers me.You need to find out what is going on as your server stops or
hangs. First, confirm that coldfusion has really stopped. Turn on
the internal JRun webserver on one of your servers. Next time the
site 'stops', try to connect to coldfusion administrator using the
internal webserver -
http://localhost:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm.
If this connection works, then CFMX is actually still running. So,
then it would appear your issue is IIS or the connector between IIS
and CFMX. Confirm you are running the latest connector. Check the
connector logs.
If cfmx has truly stopped there are several things to do:
check the cfusionmx7\logs. Does the
application or server log show lots of errors just prior to the
stoppage. Is the application log full of errors - clean them
up.
check the cfusionmx7\runtime\logs for
errors, especially just prior to the stoppage
Run
thread dump - is there
a common template running in each of your traces during your
hangs
What is your technical support incident number with Adobe? I
will be glad to work with that engineer. Email me your incident
information directly. -
Cold Fusion Report Builder - A Dud ???
I have spent the last 2 weeks working on a (one) report. In
general I have been happy with what I have been able to produce,
but have been naively thinking that the issues I have been working
through have just been part of the learning curve associated with
becoming familiar with any new tool.
After 2 painful weeks, all I can assume is that Cold Fusion
Report Builder is a load of rubbish. This thing is just so damn
buggy it should never have been released. It should still be in
Adobe Labs !!!
I am interested in hearing the thoughts of others who use
this tool. Should I quit while I still have my sanity (and
business) or is it worth persisting with?
Look forward to hearing peoples thoughts.quote:

to just script with CFML and convert to PDF.
CF Dev / Marketing team.. if you are reading this (I hope you
are, cause it looks like no-one else does), plaase do your loyal
and trusting users a favour and rename "Report Builder" to "invoice
builder" so as not to mislead other developers into thinking this
thing can do stuff (such as build report templates) that it can't.
Alternatively, could you at least attempt to assist with some of
the queries/issues I have posted here.

I have site on a Cold Fusion MX Version: 6,1,0,hf45343_611
running on A Windows 2000 server and IIS5 using a Microsoft SQL
2000 Cluster in the backend. When ever the cluster fails over the
websites fail. I then have to restart the 3 Cold Fusion Services
and do an IIS reset. Is there a setting that I can use to avoid
having to reset the services on the webserver?Hi Upen,
Thanks for your response. It is a 64 bit machine and the setup is also 64 bit.
I would like to mention some points related to my deployment scenario:
We have a Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition on Server machine.
I have a .net website appliaction deployed and running on this.
One of our third party vendor is developing Cold fusion application.
This Cold fusion application will be integrated in our .net website.
Deployment and configuration of Cold Fusion application and server wil be done by Third Party vendor.
I need to install Cold fusion and give access to Third party.
Issue when I install cold Fusion using default settings, my .net Website does not get loaded.
In Mozila and Chrome Browser I get blank Page with only Background image given in Body tab of page is getting displayed.
In IE Browser Page with background image given in Body tab of plus this text ' <script> src="" 'is getting displayed.
