Lost on application.cfc

Hi all,
I've used application.cfm for ages on our site (now in sustainment) and we have been moved to a new server using CF9. Our server dudes have "per application" settings in place where I can map my custom tag directory (works fine) but when I use application.cfc, I begin crashing on all my pages that use relative pathing.
For example, the first thing the application does is query an Oracle table to get security settings. This is located off the root in a folder (oddly enough) called Security. That folder has a subdirectory called queries. I bomb with an error saying that "<cfinclude template="queries/user_role_select.cfm">" is invalid and it cannot find the noted cfm file and that I have to set up mappings in my application.cfc file.
Does this mean that I have to provide mappings for every directory and subdirectory under my root folder? Surely not! If so, how can this be done and how would I use that mapping in my cfincludes? I'm really getting started with the cfc files late in the game so any guidance and direction is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

What is the EXACT error message? Don't paraphrase it, copy and paste it from the screen.
Also: what is the full file system path to the file with the <cfinclude> in it, and the file system path to queries/user_role_select.cfm?
What mappings have you set in CFAdmin and in your Application.cfc pseudo constructor? Ditto custom tag paths (although the latter ought not be relevant here)?

Tracking users in the Application.cfc, please help

Hello;
I wrote a small tracking system for my web site. I am trying
to upfrade it to work in CF 8. Here is what I am doing.
I had this code on the index.cfm page of my site. I am
attempting to move it to the Application.cfc file. When I do, it
registers in the DB every time the user hits a page or clicks a
link. I don't want it to do that. I do want it to tell me when they
hit the site, and if I can what page they came in on.
Here is my code:
<cfquery name="tracking" datasource="my-DB"
dbtype="ODBC">
INSERT INTO tracking (REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT,
TRACK_DATE, PageID)
VALUES('#REMOTE_ADDR#', '#HTTP_USER_AGENT#',
#CreateOdbcDateTime(now())#)
</cfquery>
My pageID is where I want the information on what page the
user came in on to go.
I placed teh query inside a session function code, but it
doesn't work at all right now, I need to limit the hits counted by
the Application.cfm, if I place it inside the area of the app that
is for global variables, it adds info to the DB everytime they
click a link and I don't want that. As for the entry page of the
user, I am trying to make it so if someone enters the site lets say
on the about.cfm page, that is added to the db and so on. Is this
possible? If so how would I do that?
Here is my application.cfc code so far:

I did a dump and got it to error out, so it is recognizing
the session, but it doesn't add any info to the DB. I also had to
change it, I had it like this:
<cffunction name="onSessionStart" returntype="query"
output="true">
<cfquery name="tracking" datasource="my-db"
dbtype="ODBC">
INSERT INTO tracking (REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT,
TRACK_DATE)
VALUES('#REMOTE_ADDR#', '#HTTP_USER_AGENT#',
#CreateOdbcDateTime(now())#)
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
Changed it to this:
<cffunction name="onSessionStart" returntype="any"
output="true">
<cfquery name="tracking" datasource="creative"
dbtype="ODBC">
INSERT INTO tracking (REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT,
TRACK_DATE)
VALUES('#REMOTE_ADDR#', '#HTTP_USER_AGENT#',
#CreateOdbcDateTime(now())#)
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
it was erroring on the query attribute before in the session
function. Even that change didn't get it to work properly.

I Lost My Application Folder and I Can't Get It Back With It's Previous Features

I lost my application folder!! I have tried dragging it from my hard drive but all I have left over is my skype. when i was trying to change the size of my screen's window i accidently picked up the applications folder and when i let go of my mouse it disappeared and now I cant get it back with everything in it. (front row, screen grab, etc)

First of all don't empty the Trash.
Second, it is unlikely the folder is gone, you just dragged it someplace else. Here is one easy way to find it:
Go to Spotlight and type in the name of one of the programs that you had in that folder. Click on the program when it finds it. When the program launches, click and hold its icon in the Dock until you get the pop up menu. Choose "options > show in Finder".
That will open the enclosing folder and select the program. While you are there drag the folder back to where you want it.

I've lost the application folder from Favorites. How do I get it back?

I've somehow lost the application folder which should be located in Finder - left hand side under Favorites. I can do a search and find a specific application located on the hard drive - so I haven't deleted them. But I want the Application folder with the different applications back in Finder. I'm kind of hesitant about starting a search in areas I know nothing about. Can anyone help?

Hi JanMP,
The sidebar in a Finder window can be easily modified, so it's possible that the Applications folder may have been accidentally dragged out of it. You should be able to drag it back on from its current location (Macintosh HD > Applications), as outlined in the following article:
OS X Yosemite: Customize the Finder toolbar and sidebar

Hello, I synchronized my iPhones with iTunes, having a new laptop, I had to do this step. But instead of helping it, I lost many applications. All my good applications disappeared. How do I get them back? What I have to do? I bought those app!!!
How is this possible? How can the iTunes eat what I bought and what for? To buy the applications again?! Geez!
Tell me the solution. It must exist one!

You can redownload you previously purchased apps for free as long as they are still available in the app store. Be sure you are logged into the Apple ID in iTunes used to purchase them, then follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.

Moving to CF10, Need help with Application.cfc

I've been googling about how to work with Application.cfc since last week but I still have some questions and I can't find the answers.
My application is under the root (in unix) and there are many subfolders underneath it. Each sub-folder is hosting a different web application.
From what I read, I can create 1 root Application.cfc and then on subsequent sub-folder, when I need to have another Application.cfc on that level, I can create ProxyApplication (see below) and then create a sub-folder level Applicatin.cfc
So, when I set an application.DSN on my root Application.cfc, using proxyApplication I don't have to reset this dsn again in my sub folder level Application.cfc
Since my loginform.cfm and loginaction.cfm is right under root directory too, I also set OnsessionStart in the root Application.cfc to handle user login. Then this means, I don't have to reset session variable again anywhere because session.username, etc has been set on the highest level.
Is this correct?
In addition, Am I correct when I do the following:
1. Since I have root level and sub-folder level Application.cfc, I should set this.name with a different name, am I right?
    On the root Application.cfc I set this.name = "StudentServices" because this represent the global application
    On the sub-folder level's Application.cfc, I set this.name to "StudentServices_stdLoad" becaus this sub-folder only handle student load application.
2. On the root Application.cfc, I set the DSN to the application scope. So on the sub-folder level Application.cfc I can check if a particular db is working or not
    because as awhole, in the global sense, this web application uses more than one Databases. Each sub-folder may use a database that is dfferent than the other sub folder.
Am I doing the right thing? Please advice
Below is example of what I have, Thank you!
I created a root Application.cfc under the root directory:
<CFCOMPONENT displayname="Application" output="true" hint="My Root Application component">
       <cfset THIS.Name = "StudentServices" />    <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) />    <cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true />    <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false />
       <cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false">
   <cfset application.MainDSN = "DSN1">
   <cfset application.ReportDSN = "DSN2">
   <cfreturn true/>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="onApplicationEnd" output="false">
     <cfargument name="applicationScope" required="true"> </cffunction>
<cffunction name="onSessionEnd">
</CFCOMPONENT>
Then, in this root directory I also created a ProxyApplication:

<cfcomponent name="ApplicationProxy" extends="AdvancementServices.Application">
</cfcomponent>
Then in the Sub-Directory, I can create a sub-folder level Application.cfc extending the root Application.cfc:
<CFCOMPONENT displayname="Application" extends="ApplicationProxy">
    
    <cfset THIS.Name = "StudentServices_stdLoad"/>
    <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) />
    <cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true/>
    <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false/>
    <cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false">
       
       <cftry>
       <cfquery name="TestMain_DSN" datasource="#application.MainDSN#" maxrows="2">

       </cfquery>
         
        <cfcatch type="database">
          <cflog file="#this.name#" type="error" text="Main DSN is not available. message: #cfcatch.message# Detail: #cfcatch.detail# Native Error: #cfcatch.NativeErrorCode#" >
         <cfthrow message="This application encountered an error when connecting to the Main Database. Please contact support." />
         <cfreturn false>
       </cfcatch>
     </cftry>
     <cflog file="#this.name#" type="Information" text="Application #this.name# Started">
     <cfreturn true/>
   </cffunction>
</CFCOMPONENT>
    <cfargument name = "SessionScope" required=true/>     <cfargument name = "AppScope" required=true/>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="OnSessionStart" access="public" returntype="void" output="false">
<CFSET session.UserGroup = ""/>
<CFSET session.UserName = ""/>
<CFSET session.currentPage = ""/>
<CFSET session.loggedin = "No"/>
<CFSET session.userrights = ""/>
<cfreturn/>
</cffunction>

OK. It sounds to me like you really shouldn't be using a single root Application.cfc at all, if all you want to do is share some settings between your "sub-applications". I would look at storing the common settings in an external file that all of the applications can read in. The simplest way is to put the settings in a .CFM file somwhere outside of the web root (so it is not directly web accessible) and load it with <cfinclude> tag into the OnApplicationStart() method of each sub-application's App.cfc. That .CFM file can be as simple as:
<cfset application.myCustomSetting = "blahblah">
<cfset application.myOtherSetting = "foo">
Alternatively, you can look at using a config file like this Ray Camden blog post suggests, and use the GetProfileSection(), GetProfileString(), and SetProfileString() functions as needed within OnApplicationStart(). You could even put ALL of your settings in
A third option is to store your settings in an XML file or in JSON format in a text file. You could then write code to read in the XML file, and use something like xml2struct.cfc to convert the XML into a struct, then append the struct to your application scope. If you go the JSON route, then just read in the JSON file and use DeserializeJSON() to convert it into a struct, and append it to the application scope.
What I think is probably the best approach is to use a community-supported MVC framework like FW/1 or ColdBox (maybe you already are, I don't think you've said so though). One of the many advantages to doing so is that they have built-in "environment" support that can be used to configure common settings, depending on your environment (dev/qa/production). You would handle reading in your external settings through the "environment" mechanism.
One other thing to think about: your login mechanism. I think you want to use one set of login tools that is shared by all of the "sub-applications". You can do this also by putting the login/authentication-related code somewhere outside the webroot of your applications, and then either set up a mapping to that location in CF Admin, or set an application-specific mapping in your various App.cfc files. That way all the "sub-applications" share a common set of code for the login process. I don't know how your login process works (do all users go to the same login page then get redirected into their relevant "sub-application", or does each "sub-application" have a discrete login page that utilizes common back-end processes to authenticate and redirect), so you'll have to judge how that is best accomplished.
Hopefully this gives you some useful ideas.

Which to use application.cfm or application.cfc?

Hi,
Just a general question, i have been using application.cfm
for my applications so far. I came across a tag that would be used
under application.cfc, but i tried putting both templates together
in one application and boom, an error showed up.
So, which is better to use with most of the applications
application.cfm or .cfc?
Thanks for any help!
Syed

It's actually a bit easier to use session and application
scope variables with Application.cfc, I think.
Application.cfc has methods for specific "events" or states:
onApplicationStart() -- where to load application variables,
security logic, etc.
onSessionStart() -- initialize session varialbes, etc.
onRequestStart() -- runs at the start of each page request
onRequestEnd()
onSessionEnd()
onApplicationEnd()
onError() -- very nice place to get some good
Application-wide error handling code in place
onRequest() -- be sure to read the notes on this
method...it's a bit different.
Check out the MX7 reference page for Application.cfc:

Audigy SE lost its applications in Windows 7

,Audigy SE lost its applications in Windows 7vHello, folks. I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits and My Audigy SE lost its applications, such as Graphic Equalizer, Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings and etc. The OS does not recognize these functions when I try to open them. I installed all the drivers available for Windows 7 and I just have a very basic adjust and that?s it. The sound card is also crashing my OS. I had to uninstall it and remove the sound card. And I work with these features, so I had to go back to my old rig with XP.
Now I wonder? Windows advisor said that my Audigy was ok to run in Windows 7. What is happening and what can I do to have the equalizer and the whole thing working properly? Does this happen with all models? Creative doesn?t have a real Windows 7 compatible sound card? They just run with a basic setup fix?
I appreciate any response,?

I just forgot something!
The Audigy budget line (SE/LS/Value) do have the EAX Console! These card are the only Audigy card with the EAX Console, if my information is correct. Got my info from:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tweakers.net/productreview/27856/creative-audigy-se.html"]http://tweakers.net/productreview/27856/creative-audigy-se.html[/url]
It is Dutch.
In that review, the reviewer is saying that he likes the EAX Console with the Audigy SE card, and also mentions that he runs Windows 7 when making the review....So, it looks like these card do have the full EAX Console, if the screenshot is correct.
What may be the problem is that you downloaded the latest version of the driver. In the README of the latest, there is no reference to the EAX Console application, BUT the previous onse DOES!!
Just search for the following file on the Creative support site at:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx"]http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx[/url]
SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe
Also, would you be so kind to let me know if this driver release DOES contain the Eax Console. I know someone that is desperately searching for it on his new Windows 7 machine.

SetEncoding() and application.cfc

Is this a bug, or I just didn't understand the way it is
supposed to work?
I just finished determining that if one puts a <cfset
setEncoding("form","encodingType")> in the
psudo-consructor (after the
<cfcomponent...> but before any <cffunction...)
tags) of Application.cfc
one will always receive empty form structures on an action
page.
When I tried moving said setEncoding() line to the
onRequestStart()
function. All was well? Is there a reason for this I do not
understand
with my very limited knowledge of page encoding?

Application.cfc is event-driven, all its methods being
events. I think
you should expect to be in uncharted territory if you use any
method
different from the given list
First, you can augment the functions of Applicaiton.cfc if
you so
desire, it is just that these functions will never be called
by any
event. But there is nothing wrong with them being called by
functions
called as a result of one of the defined events.
Secondly, I was not doing this.
Relevant parts of my Application.cfc file:
<cfcomponent output="no">
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="windows-1252" />
<cfset variables.coding = "windows-1252">

<cfset setEncoding("form",variables.coding)>
<cfset setEncoding("url",variables.coding)>
<cffunction name="onRequestStart" output="false">
<cfargument name="requestname" required="yes">

<cfset setEncoding("form",variables.coding)>
<cfset setEncoding("url",variables.coding)>

Where is the best place to set the path with Application.cfc?

Hi!
When I used Application.cfm, I set many path variables here so I don't have to keep writing a full path on many of the templates repeatedly.
So I did:
<CFSET FileArchives = "/space/users/www/FileArchives/#session.Groups#/">
<CFSET GoodFiles = "/space/users/www/GoodFiles/#session.usergroup#/">
etc...
Later on I only need to refer it as: #FileArchives# in the codes instead of a full path name.
Now that I'm using Application.cfc can I also do the same thing???? should I do it within OnApplicationStart function? am I doing it correctly? (see below)
     <cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returnType="boolean" output="false">
           <cfset application.dsn = "EMBB">
          <CFSET application.FileArchives = "/space/users/www/FileArchives/#session.Groups#/">
          <CFSET application.GoodFiles = "/space/users/www/GoodFiles/#session.usergroup#/">
         <cfreturn true />
     </cffunction>

Indeed. Wading through this lot - http://adamcameroncoldfusion.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/more-on-applicationcfc-when-things-run .html - might be helpful for the OP to get a handle on when things run, and when things become available.
But the session scope is not available in onApplicationStart().

Cfobject / cfinvoke problem in my application.cfc

Hello;
I am trying to use cfobject in my onsessionstart function in my application.cfc file. The cfobject is another application.cfc file I have in a sub directory in the web site, it runs the shopping cart. I am not firing this off properly and I was hoping someone could help me fix my code so it will operate properly.This is my invoke statement:
<cfobject name="SESSION.myShoppingCart" component="ShoppingCart">
<cfinvoke component="#SESSION.myShoppingCart#" method="getShoppingCart">
This is my whole argument statement for on session start:
<cffunction name="onSessionStart" returntype="any" output="true">
<cfset SESSION.created = now()> 
<cfobject name="SESSION.myShoppingCart" component="ShoppingCart">
<cfinvoke component="#SESSION.myShoppingCart#" method="getShoppingCart">
</cffunction>
this is my error:
Context validation error for tag cffunction.
The end tag </cffunction> encountered on line 80 at column 11 requires a matching start tag.
The error occurred in C:\website\Application.cfc: line 28
26 : <cffunction name="onSessionStart" returntype="any" output="true">
27 : <cfset SESSION.created = now()>

Can anyone help me? What do I need to do to set off my shopping cart functions on the cfc I am trying to invoke?
Thank You
CFmonger

this is what I am supposed to put in the on sessionstart function:
<cfobject name="SESSION.myShoppingCart" component="ShoppingCart">
But this throws the same error. I am reading this off of instructions from a book. Obviously the book is wrong. Is there a way to make that cfobject statement work? I don't want a return variable. I want the ShoppingCart.cfc that resides in the sub directory /donation/ShoppingCart.cfc to go into client memory, I don't need a return value, I need the shoppong cart application portion fired when they hit the web site, creating a "shopping cart" in session / client variables.
How would I do that using this tag? Thanks.

Application.cfc and UDFs

I have some UDFs that i want to make available to every page
in my site woudl i just drop the code for those UDFs inside the
onRequestStart method of application.cfc?

Probably the simplest approach for you is to put those UDFs
in some
cfm file and then include that into onRequest():
<cffunction name="onRequest">
<cfargument name="targetPage"/>
<cfinclude template="myudfs.cfm" />
<cfinclude template="#arguments.targetPage#" />
</cffunction>
Note: you must include the target page - onRequest() assumes
you are
taking full responsibility for the request.
Only when you use onRequest() will the VARIABLES scope of
Application.cfc be accessible inside your top-level page
(arguments.targetPage).
Note: if you use Flash Remoting, Web Services or direct AJAX
CFC
calls, you cannot use onRequest() directly (because it
intercepts the
result). Read the chapter on Application.cfc in the
ColdFusion
Developer's Guide (it's really very good reading!). You might
also
want to read this blog entry:

What's wrong with my Application.cfc file

I've decided to convert an old app from using Application.cfm to Application.cfc, mainly because I want to use onRequestStart and the like, and I can't get them to initialize in Application.cfm.
But for some reason, this Application.cfc file causes my pages to come up blank. I can't for the life of me figure out why, since it's copied from an app that works perfectly fine.

What have I done wrong?

What is in the two templates you are including inside your onRequest() function? Do they actually output any content?
You don't have the actual requested page being included. You need to add an argument to the top of the function to receive the requested page:
<cfargument name="TargetPage" type="string" required="true">
Then you need to add another <cfinclude> to include that page:
<cfinclude template="#arguments.TargetPage#" />
You'll have to figure out if that include should come before or after your existing includes.

Updating application to use Application.cfc

I have an application that is using the older style
application.cfm for setting up configuration varibles like DSN and
what not. Of course this way i can just use the varibles as is like
#dsn#.
I am wanting to change my application over to utilize
Application.cfc instead now. It seems to set up my DSN efficiently
i would set this varible up in the onApplicationStart or
onRequestStart. Either way I have to now state my varibles as
#application.dsn# to make them work now.
Is there anyway around this so I dont have to change hundreds
of varibles names!

Implement
<cffunction name="onRequest">
<cfargument name = "targetPage" type="String"
required=true/>
<cfsavecontent variable="content">
<cfinclude template="#Arguments.targetPage#">
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>#content#</cfoutput> 
</cffunction>
You can then change gear in onRequestStart with:
<cfset dsn = application.dsn>
In fact, you can forget about application.dsn and do the
following in onRequestStart:
<cfset dsn = "myDSN">

Lost on application.cfc
