Coldfusion Builder 3 Global Search

I downloaded and installed Coldfusion Builder 2 and liked it. I decided to purchase it and found that Coldfusion Builder 3 had been released. I purchased Coldfusion Builder 3 after my trial had expired. I then uninstalled 2 and installed 3. I attempted to register my product but nothing shows that it was successful or unsuccessful and my license key does not show up under Previous Serial number in Help->License Adobe Coldfusion Builder.
I am unable to do a global search of my project and the syntax highlighting no longer works in the cfquery tags as well as the built in server does not start. It is almost like the application thinks I am still using an unlicensed version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as rebuilt my workspaces from scratch and yet none of this has fixed the issues. I am on a Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit machine.
Let me know if you need any further information.

ColdFusion Builder 3 - Search on Open Documents produces java.lang.NullPointerException

ColdFusion Search Dialog:
Search on Open Documents produces java.lang.NullPointerException
Works well with Search on Current Documents
Paid license.
Please Advice.

Thank you, TechFuser. I have experimented by searching on 'Open Documents', but am unable to reproduce the error. However, there indeed seems to be a problem. It failed to work for me either.
Like you, I got a NullPointerException. But that seemed to happen whenever I restarted ColdFusion Builder 3. The details are as follows:

Adobe ColdFusion Builder Bugbase: Vote for Some of these Bugs to be Fixed

As I'm sure you know CF Builder 3 isn't quite perfect yet and the Adobe Bugbase has a not-so-great search interface so I thought I would share some issues I reported recently which have impacted my workflow with the product. Perhaps some of my fellow developers have also run into these annoyances. If you have, or if you feel like supporting these issues to get Adobe's developers to fix them, I encourage you to also leave a note on each bug to increase the likelihood that they get fixed in the next release. Feel free to also post links to bugs/feature requests you've submitted and perhaps the community will also support your bug reports as well.
Below please find the name and link to each bug/feature request. To vote for the bug please click the "my vote" button at the bottom right corner of the page.

Thanks Carl. I haven't tried Twitter yet as I don't really have any followers that are fellow developers. I've been looking for other people with relevant problems though on forums (this one, stackoverflow, etc...) and when I encounter them I pass along my bugbase submissions.

How do I add/update/delete data using ColdFusion Builder 3?

I feel like this is a really simple and stupid question and should be easy to figure out, but I can't.
I am relearning ColdFusion after 12 years out of the IT field. I am using the ColdFusion 9 Getting Started:Volume 1 book. In Chapter 7 it states that I need to edit the Application.cfc file so that I can edit the database rather than just selecting from the database. I can't seem to find anything related to that file in any search. In my ColdFusion 11 Administrator I have set this mySQL database to be able to be edited, but ColdFusion Builder 3 doesn't seem to allow any editing of the tables. I have not had much luck searching for help regarding this on the internet either. My biggest problem so far is getting ColdFusion Builder to talk with my mySQL database properly so I can actually get on with relearning ColdFusion and writing code. Frustrating!!

I do have ColdFusion 11 Administrator installed. When I go to Data and Services there and open the datasource (OWS) that I want to connect to and query off of, and go to Advanced Settings, I show that the following are selected:
SELECT
CREATE
GRANT
INSERT
DROP
REVOKE
UPDATE
ALTER
Stored Procedures
DELETE
If, in ColdFusion Builder 3, I open the RDS Query viewer and write the following basic update query (Server: default:local; Datasource: OWS):
insert into directors(FirstName, LastName)
Values ('Benjamin', 'Forta');
I get the following RDS error message:
java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().
According to the book and some information I have seen online, the SQL Query Tool, for security's sake, by default allows execution of SELECT statements, but no other SQL statements. According to the book, to change this behavior I need to edit the Application.cfc file in the ows/sql directory. I have to change the THIS.select_only flag from the default of yes to no and save the file. I cannot find this file anywhere. I have seen an application.cfm, but I think this is different that what they want because I can't find anything in that file that says THIS.select.

Adding Global Search function in Webhelp

I have been asked to add global search functionality to my
website. As far as i understand, the only way of doing this using
Webhelp is to use merged projects?
As i have 40 separate XPJ files (some very large), this
merged projects method didn't work very well. For a start you got
lost in the vast number of projects and bookmarks displayed in the
merged TOC. Instead, from a main menu, each guide opens up in the
same fixed window and just displays its owns TOC. Curently you can
only search in the selected guide.
Having looked at Peter Graingers site, ZoomSearch would seem
to work OK. Does anyone know of any other method i could use or
free alternatives to ZooomSearch?
Thanks

First, if you Google "refresh page" you'll have several
JavaScript options available to choose from.
Second, I can't show you my merged WebHelp, because it's
proprietary online Help provided with our product, but I used
Peter's method for a merged project of 42 projects, ~2.5K topics,
and mucho graphics. Unfortunately, in a WebHelp merged project, RH
provides an anemic, basic search only.
We had elected to place our projects within 14 major
categories in the TOC, so as to reduce the size of the TOC when the
help was opened. Each category links to a "navigation" page in the
parent project that provides a description of the category and all
first-level topics within each project in the category. This
category structure helps the user identify the major functional
areas, and helps the seven writers keep track of where their
particular projects appear.
GETTING STARTED
+ Release Notes
+ Installation
+ etc.
TRADING
+ Program Trading
+ Fixed Income Trading
+ etc.
This proved serendipitous when we decided to use Zoom, since
we were able to classify the same RH project folders under
identical Zoom categories, allowing users to select a single
category from a dropdown menu if they want more tightly focused
results.
Because our help is provided on a CD and is distributed on a
customer's server, we've had to implement Zoom search in Javascript
mode. Admittedly, the JavaScript mode in Zoom doesn't provide full
functionality either, but it's still better than RH (you can use
wild cards, special characters (underscore, colon, slash, etc.) to
"join" words, etc.).
Some Zoom issues:
Since RH ignores special Zoom tags in source files, such as
ZOOMSTOP/ZOOMRESTART, ZOOMKEYWORDS, etc., and over-writes them in
the output when generating/publishing topic modifications, we are
running the Zoom indexer against the source files and placing the
five Zoom files (search.html, zoom_pageinfo.js, etc.) in the output
folder. The Zoom 5.0.1005 build will automatically rename the path
from the source "/projects" to the output "/mergedProjects" if you
select that option.
Currently, a bug in Zoom replaces any closing HTML tag (HREF,
SPAN, etc.) that appears before a period, comma, semicolon, or
colon with a space. So, you need to run a Find/Replace to eliminate
those extra leading spaces (in the zoom_pageinfo.js file). I use
FAR for this; you can create a .FarRun file with entries like this
to do them in batch. Note that the 90_zoompageinfo_docsql01.FAR
FarList was created to contain only the zoom_pageinfo.js file, and
the "OpenFarList" line only needs to appear once in the .FarRun
file. After I run the Zoom indexer against the project, I only have
to double click the .FarRun file to run the batch replace.
Good luck,
Leon

ColdFusion Builder 2 HANGS

I downloaded and installed the CF Builder 2 (Version: 2.0.1 Build: 282422) and almost daily (but not at any regular time or interval) it hangs, then I have to manually kill the process, and often lose some work. When this happens the CPU resources get pegged at 100% or more by the ColdFusion Builder 2 process. I can't identify any specific operation that appears to cause this either; I'm almost always just typing code when the freeze occurs.
I'm on Mac OSX 10.9, 16GB RAM
Has anyone else experienced this? Any work arounds out there?
I'm going to be running out of free trial time and unfortunately there is no way I can justify paying for this product. I was using Dreamweaver (which I still like and may go back to) but has anyone else seen/used a good CFML editor?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

In the vein of “teaching a man to fish”…
Doing a google search for:
cfbuilder.ini osx
turned up first a result at: http://blog.mxunit.org/2009/07/speeding-up-coldfusion-builder.html
where Charlie Griefer added a comment saying:
For OS X folks:
Go to your \CFBuilder.app, right-click and choose "Show Package Contents".
You'll find the CFBuilder.ini under Contents > MacOS > CFBuilder.ini
Does that work for you, Richard?
If not, let’s ask for clarification: are you running CFBuilder in standalone mode? Or as a plug-in atop Eclipse? If the latter, see the “Mac OS X” section of this page:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2F running_eclipse.htm
Let us know if any of that helps.

Unable to deactivate previous coldfusion builder 2 installations

I can't activate an installation of ColdFusion Builder 2 because it says I have two adjacent installations of CF Builder on two other computers.
The two other computers disks drives were erased before CF Builder could be deactivated.
So, it still thinks they are currently being used.
What can I do ??

You need to contact Adobe Support thru char and ask to have your activations reset.

ColdFusion Builder Perspective in Eclipse

I have just downloaded the lastest version of Eclipse to try the ColdFusion builder as a plug-in in my trial copy. I want to see if working within this environment with the subversive plugin also (not installed yet) would be a productive solution for me.
However, I can't get the ColdFusion builder perspective. Eclipse can't tell it's there. I have been searching for a solution for three days and have yet to find anything close to an answer. I've even tried removing eclipse completely and uninstalling and reinstalling the ColdFusion builder plugin, all to no avail. It seems it should be easier to install this. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do to fix this.

since your eclipse files and workspace/s are all run on the
java runtime environment and all configurations are saved at the
file level (no registry edits etc.), it's not uncommon to have
different eclipse versions in different folders running different
sets of plugins, defaulting to different workspaces, etc.
That's the long way of me suggesting a new install in a
different folder and trying it from scratch. If it has the same
behavior, you might try a different version of java.

ColdFusion Builder 2 RDS Debugging error.

I am running a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system with ColdFusion 9.01 (Developer Edition). I just downloaded the trial version of ColdFusion Builder and cannot get the debugger to work. I have followed all the instructions concerning making sure RDS is enabled in ColdFusion (which it was for my old CFEclipse version and some Flex apps). I've done everything I can think of for configuring CF Builder, but I cannot get the debugger to work. When I go to RDS configuration in CF Builder and click "Test Connection," A popup states that "Test connection was successful." Since I'm using IIS and not the CF built-in web server, I configured the Server Information using port 80. However, when I click "Test Debugger," I get an error: "Test debugger failed. The debugger server is currently listening on port 51,367..." So, I change the port to 51367. The connection tests successfully again, but when I test the debugger, I get another error: "Test debugger failed. An RDS connection was established but the ColdFusion RDS line debugger could not be contacted. The server gave the following message: -1: Could not initialize class coldfusion.logs.CFlogs." I cannot find any reference to that error message using Google, or searching Adobe. When I click on the "bug" drop-down and then click the name of "Debug server," I get a similar, but different and longer error:
Unable to connect to the RDS server 'ColdFusion'.
Ensure that the server is currently running and that line debugging and RDS are enabled. You may also need to check your RDS connection settings in Eclipse to ensure that they are correct.
Error message:
-1:Error connecting to JVM for debugging at localhost:5005. Could not attach the VM at port 5005. You must specify this debugger port in the JVM settings of you application server, for example: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005. You will also need to make sure that another debugger is not currently connected to the CF JVM at the same port (5005).
Root cause ->
Connection refused: connect
I check in the jvm.config file and those settings are already there. So, does anyone have a clue about any of this? I've run all possible CF and JRE updates, I've not only stopped and restarted the ColdFusion service several times, but I've even rebooted my system. This should be a simple process.

CF Line Debugger is enabled. every thing is configured perfectly. This is a error which I've never seen before.
Actually, I am a IT Manager in a Software company and we need to setup a remote CF9 Server for development and testing with debugging. This is a centralize server for my team to work and test. Currently we are working using dreamviewer and every thing is going fine with this tool but as you know there is no good debugger tool in DW so we have decided to work in CFBuilder 2. Below you will find the jvm config in my CF Server.

The internal html viewer is not working in coldfusion builder 2.

It is so frustrating how hard this is. I finished setting up coldfusion and coldfusion builder 2 with an apache local webserver and was hoping to make use of the internal html viewer but it won't come on! All I see is a blank grey page with no content. After creeping around the forums for a while it seemed that the simplest solution was to use the internal coldfusion server so I uninstalled everything and did just that, reverting my administrator page to http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (working and launchable from the IDE), placing my webroot at C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot and with all the folders in their right place. The server is running ok and when I launch the run as "coldfusion administrator" option to run my index file, it succesfully opens the external browser and displays the page.
I have the same setup on my desktop at home, the same files, installation, everything! and it works but not on my laptop. I followed Ben Forta's instructions to a T and yet I still am not getting the html preview. I even tried to hard code the absolute url in the html preview settings and still nothing but that annoying grey.
Is this a bug? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the bug reports. It is quite infuriating how something that seems so miniscule could be such an annoyance. I have already gotten quite used to the preview pages and coldfusion and I would prefer to code that way rather than making use of dreamweaver which I feel I am being forced to use, but at least it's consistent.
Please if anyone could provide some answers and help I would really appreciate it! I have only so much hair left!
Thanks!

Perhaps others may recognize and resolve this for you. I and others here often can and do offer quick solutions to many problems. And I can appreciate that it’s reasonable to think that something so simple should just work. But in this case I think are simply too many variables that could explain why things are not working for you. And while I can also appreciate that you will prefer to get a solution for free if anyone can offer it, I just can’t even begin to offer all the possible problems and solutions, at least by email, in this case. Again, maybe someone else will make a quick connection.
But I will point out that if you’re willing to pay US$75, I offer a service of remotely troubleshooting any one CFBuilder problem for that fixed price. Hopefully I might help you solve it quickly (when I can see exactly what’s going on in your environment), but you will not pay if I don’t solve the problem in up to 2 hours effort. If you may be interested, see www.carehart.org/consulting/ for more, and if you want to set up a time to get together (over the web), drop me an email at [email protected]
Finally, please note that I don’t often point out this service here on the forums. I generally just offer suggestions (sometimes lengthy ones) without any commercial expectation, so please don’t regard this as me engaging in “abusive unsolicited commercial email”. I’m just offering a possible solution, given the OPs sincere challenge in solving things.

How can I search for a string like a partial IP address in the global search

When searching for a string like "10.255." the global search finds messages containing "255" or "10" and both.
This happens no matter whether quotation is used or not.
When quotation is used it probably will match on the given order as well, but beeing in the timezone '+0100' the string "10" is always found first (in the email headers...).
Is there a way to tell the global search not to use '.' or any other character as whitespace?

Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

I guess not... (at least not on 5.x!!). I would just like the calendar search to return results in chronological order of any sort. With iCloud calendars and OS 5.1.1 it lists all the results (by date order) for one calendar, and then does all the results for the other one, which is a bit tiresome. Strangely it all works fine with Google calendars... But maybe I will just use spotlight search to get round this problem for now.

Forms 10.1.2.0.2 - Global Search

Good day everyone,
I've run into several situations with some larger forms where I have a custom procedure and I have no idea where to find the procedure in the form or attached libraries. Is there a way to do a global search in a form to search in every Data Block, Attached Library, Alert, Trigger, etc? Specifically if I have a trigger that uses a procedure, can I find where that procedure comes from?
I know when using JDeveloper, I can use CTRL + SHIFT + F to search all the classes in a project to look for a particular search request (such as all the instances of "criticalVariable" in the project). I'm looking for this functionality in Forms 10.1.2.0.2. Currently I go through every data block, attached library, etc to find what I need. This is both time consuming and highly annoying.

Try from
EDIt-> Find And Replace
this option will help you at some level

How does one get ColdFusion Builder.

I understand that if one buys ColdFusion builder, one gets Flash Builder Standard included. If one buys Flash Builder Premium one gets a license for ColdFusion Builder included.
Well, I am currently installing Creative Suite 5 Web Premium, which includes Adobe Flash Builder (level unknown) as well as Dreamweaver, fireworks, flash pro, photoshop, ect. But not ColdFusion Builder. Seems to be an odd item to be left out of that list?

The way I understand it, CF Builder comes with Flash Builder Premium and CS5 premium includes Flash Builder Standard, which does not come with CF Builder.
A while ago, my sister bought me Flex Builder 3 as a gift. It did not come with data visualization (charts), which I wanted. So I called Adobe, explained the issue, and they let me get the charts and pay the difference.
So it might be worth your while to make a phone call to Adobe sales and ask if you can pay the difference between FB Standard and FB Premium, so you can get CF Builder.
You never know until you try. Good luck,
Carlos
