Socket event gateway error in CF8?

Having upgraded to CF8 with no code changes I am seeing a
socket event gateway accept an xml message line by line and not the
entire xml packet in one shot (each line is shown in the log
separately). Passing a simple sentence with a return in it also
becomes 2 events. This obviously causes problems, as the xml cannot
be recognized and processed when it comes in line by line. The xml
is coming from a daemon writen in Perl, and I can't immediately
make any changes to it, as these requests are also sent out to
other Perl systems, so any changes would have to be tested against
them as well.
I couldn't find anything online about this being a bug in
CF8, has anyone else seen it?

Hi,
Remove this (And never put it in again)
EXCEPTION
when others then
raise_application_error(-20001,'Error sending email.Error: '||sqlerrm);
--Dbms_Put.Put_Line('Error sending email.Error: '||dbms_util.get_detailed_sqlerrm);This will tell you more about what is going on, such as giving you the location of the error.
But 20999, is a user defined exception, are you putting objects into system schema?

LiveCycle 2.6.1 Data Management with The ColdFusion 8.0 DataManagement Event Gateway Issue

Hello all,
I've recently been developing a project that involves sending out events from ColdFusion to LiveCycle 2.6.1 using the Data Management event gateway to Flex 4.0 clients (LiveCycle and ColdFusion are on different Instances, but the same server). To begin with, I used ColdFusion assemblers, DAO's, and models and everything worked fine locally. After deploying this setup to a beta site, I decided that this setup would be very troublesome in terms of configuring clustered instances across multiple servers. I then decided to convert my assemblers, DAO's, and models to Java. The conversion went well and the flex clients see the exact same data as they did with the ColdFusion adapter.
Once I tried to send an update through from my ColdFusion application to a Flex client, I get an error stating that:
"Unable to find the Flex adapter for destination My_Dest in the RMI registry on localhost:1099.The Flex adapter may not be running or the destination may be incorrect."
After seeing this error, downloaded a Java-based RMI inspector to see what was going on. To get a good idea of what was happening when the ColdFusion adapter was being used, I switched my data-management-config file back to the CF adapter. I noticed that the RMI entry was as follows:
localhost:1099/cfdataserviceadapter/My_Dest
localhost:1099/cfassembler/my_cf_instance
Once I gathered this data as the base, I converted back to the Java adapter in my data-management-config file, restarted the servers, and ran the RMI inspector again. Only the "localhost:1099/cfassembler/my_cf_instance" was showing. (This one shows because I have "Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management Access" checked in my CF instance's CF Admin -> Flex Integration). Since I don't need this checked anymore, I unchecked it and re-ran the RMI inspector. As it should, the "localhost:1099/cfdataserviceadapter/My_Dest" went away. Since no destination shows up, it means that the Flex adapter isn't registering my "my_Dest" destination with RMI. Since it isn't registered, I can't see it when I try to send a message through the CF Data Management event gateway.
Can anyone help me out here? I certainly may be missing something when it comes to RMI (I don't work with Java very often). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Dustin Blomquist

Dustin,
Without the ColdFusion based data management destination defined on the LCDS server, the destination will not show up in the RMI registry. It is only the CF adapter code that does this. The 'stock' LCDS adapter does not support invoking via RMI the way the CF version does.
I would recommend you run the LCDS MessageBrokerServlet inside the ColdFusion web application. This will give you two things:
1. You will not have the overhead of RMI between CF and LCDS as they will share the same VM (better performance!).
2. You will be able to use the CF Data Management Gateway to pass messages to Java-based destinations. The APIs the gateway uses should work fine with either CF or Java based Data Management destinations.
The CF/LCDS integration doesn't support what you are trying to do when you run two seperate instances.

Event Gateways in Multiserver Environment

Hi all
As a company we are looking to deploy a Flex application
using 'push' messaging.
The backend is a multiserver Coldfusion 8 setup behind a load
balancer. My concern is around the multiserver setup while using
event gateways. If a client consumes from a particular gateway on a
particular server, and a CF process on
another server produces for a gateway on it's server how
will the data push occur thus updating all clients consuming from
the gateways on
all servers.
I'm afraid we will have to get the CF process on one server
produce for it's own gateway and we'll have to get all clients to
consume from that gateway - thus not allowing us to spead the load
across all CF servers using thier own gateways in the multi-server
environment.
Am I missing something here? This area appears to be fairly
new, so any and all comments appreciated.
Cheers,
Ciaran

Asynch Event Gateway not multi-threaded?

Hi there,
I've stumbled upon a huge problem and I would greatly
appreciate your help otherwise I am looking at a major rework of my
application :S
I thought that any event gateway (asynch) would be
multi-threaded? that is, multiple users can call the event gateway
at the same time and this would just fire up threads of the event
gateway and parallel processing of the cfc will occur?
However, that is not whats happening in my application. My
event gateway is called from a webpage and it computes (very
complicated and time consuming data) its data and creates a file
with a unique filename. However, if more then 1 user submits a job
at the same time, it only takes the first job, finishes it and then
starts working on the next job in the queue. So if there were 5
users who submitted their jobs one after the other, the event
gateway will take their jobs one by one which is very bad for me.
Is there a way to have event gateway work on multiple jobs at
the sametime??? or is this just not possible?
I will greatly appreciate your reply. thank you

I'm not so sure about your conclusion in the case of 5 jobs.
The 5 jobs may start in the order in which they were triggered, but
might end in a different order. Also, there could be some
multithreaded processing between the first job starting and the
last job finishing. Threads can be unpredictable worms.

SMS Event Gateway

Hello all,
I am having a problem with the SMS event gateway in regards
to sending optional parameters. In the SMPP 3.x spec, there are
parameters that can be used by the SMSC, and our aggregator is
utilizing two of them. I am trying to determine how to deliver the
optional parameters to the SMSC successfully. In the CF docs it
describes how to send a subset of the optional parameters, but is
there a way to send others? For example, the cf docs say you can
send msgStr.alertOnMsgDelivery = 1 to set the
alert_on_message_delivery (0x130C) parameter. The SMPP spec states
that 0x1400 - 0x3FFF are "Reserved for SMSC Vendor specific
optional
parameters". How can I send these parameters via the SMS
event gateway? I need to send two parameters (0x2151 & 0x2152),
can this be done via the gateway?
Thanks!
Rich

I have the same problem, Joralac. I'm looking for the same
answer. Here's what I just posted in the Event Gateways forum which
seems to be a no-man's-land forum because nothing there ever gets
answered... :-)
RLS
What I posted there was:
After experimenting with SMS providers, we settled on MX
Telecom. Great - except that the level of the service we have says
that we must send back a special username based on the carrier from
which the message came. Pain in the posterior...
So, for example, they give this parameter for Operator Code:
ID: 0x3010
Name: Operator Code
Direction: MX -> Customer
Length: Variable
value: string (not null terminated)
So, if my cfscript code looks something like this:
mesg = structNew();
mesg.command = "submit";
mesg.sourceAddress = "12345";
mesg.destAddress = "16125551212";
mesg.shortMessage = "Hello, World.";
sendGatewayMessage("smsMyMenuTest", mesg);
Just how do I encode and pass along that parameter that they
want?

SetLocale no effect in event gateway

SetLocale() is ignored when a CFC is called through an event
gateway. SetLocale() works fine when called through an ordinary
HTTP request. When called through the gateway the locale is always
set as default locale that the server JVM instance was installed
with.
Does anybody have a workaround for this?
We use MX7.
Here is some example code if you want to test:
<cfset message = StructNew()>
<cfset message.method = "onTest">
<cfset pushQueue =
SendGatewayMessage("LocaleTest",message)>
Create a gateway "LocaleTest" pointing to "LocaleText.cfc"
which looks like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="onTest" output="no">
<cfargument name="CFEvent" type="struct"
required="yes">

<cfset SetLocale("en_GB")>
<cffile action="append" file="c:\temp.log"
output="#GetLocale()#">
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
You can find the output in c:\temp.log, you will see it
doesnt take the locale set by SetLocale()

ok, i can confirm for asynch gateways.
> Does anybody have a workaround for this?
not sure i'd class this as a "workaround" as it's pretty
drastic & i have not
tested for any side effects but this "works":
<cfscript>
locale=createObject("java","java.util.Locale");
thisLocale=locale.init("th","TH");
originalLocale=locale.getDefault();
locale.setDefault(thisLocale);
</cfscript>

<cflog text="#getLocale()# :::
#LSdateFormat(now(),'FULL')#" file="localeTest">
<cfscript>
// return to original locale
locale.setDefault(originalLocale);
</cfscript>

ColdFusion Event Gateway - Data Processing Delay

Hi,
We are running ColdFusion 9 inside JBOSS.
We have event gateways that communicate with JMS Queue from JBOSS to acquire the vehicle related data for further processing (about 2 millions data per day in real time).
However, we facing performance degradation for the event gateways after it runs for 8hrs (initially data processing at 0 sec delay, subsequently built up to almost 10 mins delay) and it requires restart to resume back to normal speed.
Further checking on the servers show that the event gateways occupied all CPU processing power after running for few hrs.
May I know what is the issue and what can i do improve the performance. Your help shall be high appreciated.

Hi Norma,
PayPal unfortunately can't be used for event registrations. Only seamless gateways, such as Authorize.net can be used in this case. This is true for all web forms.
You could use PayPal Express and embed a hidden form into a page with the PayPal button, but in this case the customer info will not be recorded inside CRM and BC site will have no knowledge of the payment. Everything would have to be entered into CRM manually. With this solution you could use webMarketing plan which is cheaper.

How Do You Assume A Session From Event Gateways?

I am using event gateways to send and receive via SMS, IM,
and Email. I can go back and forth just fine, and if the client
initiates the session, session persistence is not a problem.
Sometimes, though, we need the server to initiate the session
and the client to assume that session so we don't have to
re-establish the thread before we move on.
For example, if the client says "Approve John Doe" for
something, the bot can respond with "John Doe found. Reply with A
for admin rights, W for web rights", and so on. Because the client
established the session, replies are cemented in the bots brain so
they know if an "A" is returned, it will give John Doe Admin
access.
The trouble is if the SERVER initiates the call to the IM
Client: "This is the server speaking. John Doe is attempting to
access the double-secret files. Reply with A to Allow or X to send
10,000 volts to their computer". Reply with A and the bot will
respond with, basically, "request unknown" because the client
actually initiated a new session and nothing the server said was
heard or can be viewed by the client.
When the server creates a session in the event gateway, there
also appears to be no sessionid, cfid, or cftoken. Especially for
SMS, it's difficult to pass a UUID or specially coded variable for
the client to use to at least search and retrieve the particulars
of the event.
So, how does one get a CLIENT IM, Email or SMS to assume the
Session from the server?
Alternative solutions welcomed!
RLS

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

Installing AIM Event Gateway

Hello everyone. I am trying to get the AIM gateway written by
Leon oosterwijk to work on my cold fusion server. I have read the
readme a million times, and no matter where I place the files, cold
fusion always reports
"Error creating gateway type.
Unable to find or load Gateway class
com.oosterwijk.cfmx.Aimgateway"
I have the the JAR file (imgateways_v0.4.jar) in
C:\CFusionMX7\gateway\lib\
I put the com and oosterwijk folders in
C:\CFusionMX7\gateway\src\
I guess the main thing I'm having problems with is understand
where the coldfusion classpath starts. Like it asks for a path but
I do not know how absolute the path needs to be. I tried example
from the readme, but the guy who wrote this was using a java
install or something. Mine is just the basic regular install with
nothing special. Posted below is the relevant portion of the
readme.

Here, I have a picture of my configs also. I had this thing
working at one time so I know it can be done. Also I checked all
permissions on relevant folders, and they seem good. On that note,
what context does CF run under? Anywho, here is the pic.

EVENT GATEWAYS LAWSUIT - INFO NEEDED

GATEWAYS QUESTION: I need the names of companies that are using COld Fusion gateways to handle SMS, and IM simultaneously, better if they're also using a POP gateway at the same time with the same application. Not going to market with this, need it do defend a law suit from someone who claims no one else but them are doing this. Thank you! RLS

I am not a lawyer ("and I never hope to be one"), but if you can demonstrate that many other people in the world have, in fact, hit-upon the idea of doing several different things at once with several different protocols in just one program, it defies me to imagine that Cold Fusion could make any further material difference. The case should be dismissed with prejudice.
Here's why: "you can't patent the idea of hammering nails with a pipe-wrench." Sure, it's "a novel idea" and all that, but if you separate the sentence into its two clauses, neither "hammering nails" nor "using a pipe wrench" is patentable, nor is the combination an "improvement."
The plaintiffs must either argue that their combination of features is "valuable and not obvious to those schooled in the trade" (which it is clearly not, because you have found copious independent examples of just this thing), or that the tool being used, ColdFusion, is the patentable aspect of their process. Clearly, the use of ColdFusion confers no advantage, nor is the thought of using that particular tool in any way "novel."
But, here's the catch: you can't say that, no matter how common-sense it may be. You must pay an attorney to say that, in just the right way, in front of a judge or a chancery ... i.e. more attorneys. And, I assure you, what they are all aiming for is settlement: to be paid money, which by the way they will get. That's what it's going to come down to. You're going to wind up paying them to go away.
