IAS vs Allaire ColdFusion

Somebody knows something about benchmarks, features, comparisons, between Allaire Coldfusion & Oracle iAS.
Best regards.

Hi
Thanks for the response. My concern is not about upgrade. I
just wanted to see if there any entries/files/folders in my server
that are related to ColdFusion. What to check if there are
ColdFusion installations/uninstallations.

Dreamweaver w/Coldfusion 4.0 (Allaire)

I work at a small company and am soon to be the only
developer. We're currently using Coldfusion Studio 4.5 with Allaire
Coldfusion 4.0 and I'm hoping to get Dreamweaver 8 but don't know
if it's compatible with such an old version of CF. I know any text
editor can be used to write CFML, but it looks like CF7 and DW8
work really well together and I don't know if earlier versions
would work as well or if they're even meant to. Please let me know
if these two pieces of software will work together. Thanks!
I am crossposting this on the DW forum.

I only use code view, and from that perspective, DW8 is
compatible with CF4. However, the "tag autocomplete" will offer you
tags that are not available in CF4. Also, at least one tag, cfchart
won't come up in the autocomplete because it has been
deprecated.

Cferror won't catch file not found

I am using Ben Forte's example cferror system to track errors
on our site. I was testing it and ran into a problem. I setup this
link as a test case:
<a href="errors/testerror.cfm">
Test the error tracking system
</a>
This file testerror.cfm does not exist. This generates a
normal cold fusion error page stating that the template is missing
but its is supposed to go to my cferror page. Clearly the parser
has trapped the error. Why can't I get control.
I tried to surround the link with a <cftry> and a
<cfexception type="COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFileNotFound" also
with no joy.
We use coldfusion 7 and have a site that while constantly
being updated is also somwhat mature. By this I mean that most of
our errors are not cfml errors they are file not found errors when
someone uploads new versions of documents with new names. We at
times have to chase multiple links to these files. I desperately
want to capture this information and also want to eliminate the
scary messages on our user's screens.
Here are the lines I put in our application.cfm
<cferror type="Request"
template="/errors/cf_static_error.cfm" mailto="[email protected]">
<cferror type="Exception" exception="Any"
template="/errors/cf_exception_error.cfm"
mailto="[email protected]">
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you have access to your web server and are running it on
IIS here's a simple and robust solution for providing custom 404
pages.
On your web server open IIS and go to the Custom Errors tab.
Point the 404 error to your page.
Next go to the Home Directory tab and click on the
Configuration button. Then click on your application extensions and
check the box that says Verify File Exists.
Done and done. Now go to the pub and congratulate yourself on
your new mastery of the 404 error.
Cheers

PCI Compliance and sessionid

A recent scan of an ecommerce site I've developed and hosted
on a shared server at CrystalTech has failed a PCI compliance test
recently. It previously passed them.
The report says that sessionids are predictable and therefore
insecure. This threatens my relationship with the credit card
companies. The good folks at CrystalTech have not been helpful yet.
Is anyone familiar with this issue or have valuable thoughts?
Interestingly, Securitymetrics calls it "Allaire Coldfusion".
Man, are they out of date.

It's a faulty report. Refer them to the following URL:

Can i Transfer my buzzword document to cdr???

Hello im am very new to this and was wondering if i can transfer my document to cdr any help would be greatly appreciated...

Having never used Buzzword before, I do not know. I presume it depends on where that software packaged creates and stores the shared documents and|or what features it may offer for you to move it to a location where your CDR program can get at it.
But I suspect you will get much better advice on a Adobe Buzzword or related forum rather then this one that is mosly dedicated to the Adobe nee Macromedia nee Allaire ColdFusion web application server product.

Spool Interval CFMAIL

I am running an app under ColdFusion 5 where we send out
about 200,000 customized individual emails each day. CF5 can crank
through the queries in about 10 minutes where all the emails get
dumped in to the spool directory. I have set the Spool Interval to
the minimum allows in the CF Administrator - 15 seconds but
it’s still only sending out about 250 emails per minute from
the spool directory. It’s taking hours and hours to clear out
the spool file and I’m having to break up the emails in to
lots of little ones to avoid having more than 65536 emails in the
spool directory. The maximum CPU usage on the CF box is under 2% so
I know it can easily handle clearing the spool faster or provide
multi-threaded delivery from the queue to the SMTP server.
I know the long term solution is to upgrade to CF MX 6.1 or
7. Any recommendations in the short term? I noticed the following
registry setting -
Allaire>ColdFusion>CurrentVersion>Server>SpoolerInterval.
I was thinking of changing the value in the registry to 5 seconds
which would potentially get me up to 750 emails per minute which
would work for the short term. Has anyone tried this? Any harm in
trying this? Any way to get CF5 to add a second thread for delivery
from the queue to the SMTP server?
Thanks!

I would suggest playing with the other mail specific
settings, such as #of mail delivery threads, but my guess is you've
already messed with these.
Perhaps it has nothing to do with CF, but rather a bottleneck
with the process that is creating the emails. How many emails are
you trying to send?
Is it a query driven mail tag?
Another aspect to check would be the version of JRUN being
used by CF. You might find an update to a newer version of JRUN
would solve the problem.
Given the errors you've listed (SocketTimeout), they seem to
be JAVA specific.
In any case, good luck!

Problem with return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class

Hi!
I need to return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class
using a JDBC result set ( java.sql.ResultSet);
I have tried to pass my JDBC result set in to the constructor
of the coldfusion.sql.QueryTable class with this code:
ColdFusion code
<cfset pra = createObject("java","QueryUtil").init()>
<cfset newQuery = CreateObject("java",
"coldfusion.sql.QueryTable")>
<cfset newQuery.init( pra.getColdFusionQuery () ) >
My java class execute a query to db and return QueryTable
Java code (QueryUtil.java)
import coldfusion.sql.QueryTable; // (CFusion.jar for class
QueryTable)
import com.allaire.cfx //(cfx.jar for class Query used from
QueryTable)
public class QueryUtil
public static coldfusion.sql.QueryTable
getColdFusionQuery(java.sql.ResultSet rs)
return new coldfusion.sql.QueryTable(rs);
but when i run cfm page and coldfusion server tries to
execute : "<cfset pra =
createObject("java","QueryUtil").init()>" this error appears:
Object Instantiation Exception.
An exception occurred when instantiating a java object. The
cause of this exception was that: coldfusion/sql/QueryTable.
If i try to execute QueryUtil.java with Eclipse all it works.
Also I have tried to return java.sql.ResultSet directly to

Change color of ColdFusion comments in Dreamweaver CC 2014

Hi All,
I've recently discovered Sublime Text 2, and really like their code coloring theme. 90% of my work still needs to be done in Dreamweaver. I was able to find a Colors.xml file I could use, that got it very close to looking like sublime text. The only real problem are ColdFusion comments.
I changed this line in the XML C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014\en_US\Configuration\
<syntaxColor id="CodeColor_CFCommentText" text="#585835" bgcolor="#434343" /> from the original ffff99 bright yellow background, but after restarting Dreamweaver, the ColdFusion comments are still lite color text on this bright yellow background. Horrible.
It seems Dreamweaver CC 2014 removed a lot of ColdFusion options, sad. Many of us still use it for Front-End work, while ColdFusion Builder works better for back-end.
I really hope there is a way to get a dark color theme into Dreamweaver for ColdFusion.
Any suggestions?

What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is some how not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver. It is simple greed.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. Adobe needs to reestablish ColdFusion support in Dreamweaver or, based on what I have read in many forums, they will be losing a lot of customers. There are a lot of CF developers looking for an alternative to all of Adobe's products because of this "slap in the face" and I am sure there are companies out their already looking at this enormous opportunity.
I, for one, am looking at other programs to replace everything I use from Adobe because I feel betrayed. Adobe may think they own the market but I am afraid they are going to learn the hard way. If you try to force the growth of the bottom line at the expense of ignoring your customers, you will fail. If you put your customers needs first, the bottom line will follow. Has history taught you nothing?

Reading dynamic sql columns in coldfusion

I have a query which has static as well as dynamic columns. something like below:
<cfset vMarks = "marks1, marks2, marks3">
<cfquery name="querymarks" datasource = "abc">
SELECT firstname, lastname,
<cfloop from="1" to="listlen(vMarks)" index="index">
    marks_#index# <cfif #index# NEQ listlen(vMarks)>,</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfquery>
The query result set will look like below:
firstname lastname marks1 marks2   marks3 ...
abc        abc         112        113        114
def        def           121        122        123
So when I am using coldfusion to display the above resultset I am doing the below:
<table>
<tr>
    <td>FIRST NAME</td>
    <td>FIRST NAME</td>
    <td>FIRST NAME</td>
</tr>
<cfoutput query="querymarks">
<tr>
    <td>querymarks.firstname</td>
    <td>querymarks.lastname</td>
    <cfloop from="1" to="listlen(vMarks)" index="index">
     <td>querymarks.marks_#index#</td>
    </cfloop>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
The number of marks column is dynamic but I have a variable which stores the list of marks. I am facing problem in displaying the marks with coldfusion. Can anyone let me know if this can be done?

It's not immediately apparent in the docs, but one can use associative array notation with queries, eg:
myQuery[myColumn][myRow]
Where myQuery is the name of a query variable, myColumn is a column name or a string containing a column name, and myRow is the row number (positive integer) you want.
You can also get query metadata with getMetatdata(myQuery), which lists the columns in the order they were queried for (unlike myQuery.columnList which alphabeticised it, for some stupid reason best known to some Allaire developer of yore).

Coldfusion Developers Sydney, Australia

I'd really like to meet up with some of the other coldfusion
developers in sydney, even if only for lunch. Have a look at what
you get up to and your implementations.
If anybody is interested, drop a message here and I'll see if
we get the numbers to organize something.

If they will accept remote working (I have worked on projects
all over the world) I can help the client out.
I'm really not certain why clients always want in-house
employees when tele-working has been proven more beneficial in a
number of areas, not to mention the fact that a
programmer/developer rarely works 9-5 ... you cannot force ideas
and/or productivity in a devloper scenario to only operate between
set hours.
Many ideas and concepts pop up in the wee hours of the
morning, in the shower, late at night etc.
I have been developing with CF since 3.5 (Allaire), am a MS
MVP with strengths in SQL, Office, IIS, and a multitude of their
other tools, plus have been developing CF apps within my own
company for over 11 years.

JSP vs ColdFusion

I'm trying to do some research on this issue, but most of what I find is very old. Can anybody provide any insight on why JSP might be better than ColdFusion? The primary focus is connecting to databases and producing web pages. Supposedly CF is awesome at rapid development of these types of pages. Is JSP really any more difficult? Is JSP more maintainable since developers don't need to learn a proprietary tag library? Any pros/cons for using one technology vs the other would be greatly appreciated.

I use both and I assume you mean JSP/Servlets vs Cold Fusion because JSP is really just the presentation part.
In Cold Fusion, anyone with little experience can create web/database applications quickly but the quality of the application is another subject. The cfquery database connection tag is very quick and user friendly compared to other server side languages. All of Cold Fusion is simpler to learn and use where it uses a tag-based language. It also provides capability to work with Java in your JRUN container for Cold Fusion. It comes with easy Report capability (see CFGraph for example). I am not a fan of its ColdFusion Components (Objects) because I like Java OO features alot better.
As far as cost you will see Adobe charges for their Cold Fusion license where JSP/Servlet container can be free if using Tomcat or JBoss for example. Cold Fusion has always cost money even in the past when other companies like Allaire and Macromedia owned it.
There is a steep curve for learning JSP/Servlets compared with simpler Server sides like Cold Fusion and PHP.
Java is more funner in my opinion compared to Cold Fusion because you get to compile and work with classes.There are alot of nice frameworks and the best part is working with Model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern. My Tomcat is way more stable compared to Cold Fusion. I like how it implements Connection Pooling and overall I feel better with my database connections and performance using Java compared to Cold Fusion.

Coldfusion areas of growth

Hi CF'ers,
I'm getting back into cf after several years doing
JSP/Servlet stuff. My
question - where is coldfusion growth at its best (which
sectors) and where
(geographically), is it taking off. I am interested in
knowing what
oppurtunities may exist for me with CF. I have at least 3
months cf work
ahead of me but would VERY much like to stay involved after
this.
I am with hostmysite on an asp.net builder account and I am
thinking of
switching ot over to a cf account for my personal stuff. Its
wuite a big
move for me, a big change in direction, so any advice on how
to 'make it' in
cf world would be very much apprecitaed.
Please, I am not interested in any negative cf stuff - I am
fully aware of
the pros adn cons of the platform. Besides, the decision has
largely been
made for me - I just want to know how to capitalise on it.
Cheers!
Andy

Missing ColdFusion Support in Dreamweaver

I can't say it enough and will continue to post until someone at Adobe listens.
What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet by deprecating support for ColdFusion in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is somehow not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver.
What's more, it is going to take me and others weeks to learn a new program and that's time most of us don't have to spare. It's enough to keep up with the browser changes. I am a one man shop, as are many who used Dreamweaver, and every minute we use learning a new program instead of building websites is money lost. So Adobe is costing us money.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. I just don't understand why Adobe would drop support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver when the program was working. It wasn't like the program was broken and the ColdFusion tag support was causing a problem with the program.
All Adobe has done is caused ill will towards their company and probably many developers to go out of business, at the least lose money when the economy is so tight. Thanks Adobe, for nothing.

You can, relatively easily, put the rug back in place. Since you're a CC Subscriber, you can move back to a previous version of DW through the Creative Cloud Desktop App...
Open the CC Desktop App
Click Apps tab
Scroll down to filters and versions
Click previous versions
Download and install an older version of DW
From there, use the older DWCS6 until you have the time and inclination to learn CF Builder or move to another non-Adobe application. There's no reason to sit and struggle with the new non-CF version of DW CC, blow billable hours and miss deadlines due to training.
As far as I've seen, there is no plan to bring any CF support back into DW. Adobe's plan is to move people to the perpetual license CF Builder instead.

ColdFusion development made simple

Hi,
I'm looking for an IDE that will allow me to setup a Database connector and, thereby, allow me to point to a Table within that Database and generate a basic ColdFusion CRUD form on the Table. Ideally, the IDE would allow me to drag-n-drop fields about the page to speed development. You know, the usual stuff...generate a List page with basic Search critera and allow the User to drill-down to and Add/Edit page. Naturally, the List page should support pagination. Naturally, the form generation should support field lookups and Master/Detail relations. Anyhow, these are vanilla requirements that have been around for years so I'm sure the tools are around to do this with ColdFusion...I am just wanting to hear your recommendations on which to try first and which are free!
For example, I have downloaded Eclipse CF Builder and it does NOT provide any of this...plus it is not free, rather it supports the manual coding process which is very tedious regardless of how many builtin tags exist.
Many Regards,
J

Because that is the way you want to configure your shop. And

there are dishonest people out there.
Allaire nee Macromedia nee Adobe: You have only one license
for
ColdFusion why are your running 13 web serviers.
Dishonest Citizen: Oh only that one is 'production' those
other 12 are
our 'centralized development' servers.
I.E. if it was not locked down it would be circumvented.
I think you are over estimating how difficult it is for each
developer
to have their own CF server. You don't have to give up your
other
centralized features.
Each developer CF server can easily connect to the one remote
database
server. Creating and sharing DSN configurations are not hard
manually,
sharing the dsn xml files and or creating CAR archives and
installing on
each machine.
Each developer CF serve can use a centralized file server as
the web
root|source directory so the code is actually centralized
though it
might be executed by 4 different servers at any given time.
IIS can also be configured remotely if you would like
everybody to use a
common web server which could also be the common file server.
But this
would be a bit weird and unusual. But it is technically
possible. You
would just need to use ports or host headers to create a
differnt IIS
website for each developer that connects remotely to their
development
CF server.
I really don't recommend that last suggestion but it is
there.
P.S. The developer version of CF is restricted to two IP
addresses and
th local host..... wink wink nudge nudge.
