What's new in ColdFusion 10

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Developing/WSd160b5fdf5100e8f639b4550129d6ce3d 4f-8000.html

This page is missing the entire "other enhancements" that appears after "Caching Enhancements" in the new features guide PDF (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/10/cf10betafeatures.pdf). Also, the final section here, "Server update using ColdFusion Administrator" is instead listed in that PDF as one of several "ColdFusion Administrator enhancements" instead.

New to ColdFusion - Question regarding best practice

Hello there.
I have been programming in Java/C#/PHP for the past two years or so, and as of late have really taken a liking to ColdFusion.
The question that I have is around the actual seperation of code and if there are any best practices that are preached using this language. While I was learning Java, I was taught that it's best to have several layers in your code; example: Front end (JSPs or ASP) -> Business Objects -> Daos -> Database. All of the code that I have written using these three languages have followed this simple structure, for the most part.
As I dive deeper into ColdFusion, most of the examples that I have seen from vetrans of this language don't really incorporate much seperation. And I'm not referring to the simple "here's what this function does" type of examples online where most of the code is written in one file. I've been able to see projects that have been created with this language.
I work with a couple developers who have been writing in ColdFusion for a few years and posed this question to them as well. Their response was something to the affect of, "I'm not sure if there are any best practices for this, but it doesn't really seem like there's much of an issue making calls like this".
I have searched online for any type of best practices or discussions around this and haven't seen much of anything.
I do still consider myself somewhat of a noobling when it comes to programming, but matters of best practice are important to me for any language that I learn more about.
Thanks for the help.

Frameworks for Web Applications can require alot of overhead, more than you might normally need programming ColdFusion, I have worked with Frameworks, including Fusebox, what I discovered is when handing a project over to a different developer, it took them over a month before they were able to fully understand the Fusebox framework and then program it comfortably. I decided to not use Fusebox on other projects for this reason.
For maintainability sometimes its better to not use a framework, while there are a number of ColdFusion developers, those that know the Fusebox framework are in the minority. When using a framework, you always have to consider the amount of time to learn it and succesfuly implement it. Alot of it depends on how much of your code you want to reuse. One thing you have to consider, is if you need to make a change to the web application, how many files will you have to modify? Sometimes its more files with a framework than if you just write code without a framework.
While working on a website for Electronic Component sourcing, I encountered this dynamic several times.

Coldfusion CMS add a new page

Hi, I want to create a simple CMS site using coldfusion. I would like to have an 'add new page' button which will create a new html or coldfusion page and show the name of that page in the navigation bar as a link, can someone point me in the right direction of a tutorial or give me a clue to what code I should be using. I'm fairly new to Coldfusion and programming so any help would be much appreciated!!!
many thanks

One thing to consider before embarking on this sort of exercis is that you're setting out on well-trod ground.
Are you sure you want to be writing your own CMS when there are a number of well-established and free ones already out there?
Looking at FarCry or Mura would be my first step in any enterprise like this.

Code review for new coldfusion developer

Hello all, my name's Oscar, and I've just created a little coldfusion framework for work to help us with some of our "legacy" systems (which all use a cms that bakes it's output.) And as I'm fairly new to coldfusion I wanted to see if you would mind quickly casting your eyes over what I've got and helping me improve my work with some of your hard earned experience.
Everything I've got I've open sourced, and I've written an example application / readme with details about how to install it incase you want to try it out on your own system. I've a background in ruby, python, and php; so I've borrowed some conventions from frameworks like django and rails as I was building this, as well as dipping heavily into coldbox to get a better understanding of how to structure my cfml code.
Here's the main repository for the project: https://github.com/binaryvision/pistachio.

i am new in coldfusion.
Thanks.

Hi Salvatore,
This is a very wide error. You did not provided any other info as specified by Michael. Just a wild guess, this sort of error occurs generally when classpath or java_home properties are not set correctly. But, as i said it is very wide, some more info will be useful.

ColdFusion 11: allowedextforinclude functionality has changed. But the docs haven't been

G'day:
I am reposting this from my blog ("ColdFusion 11: allowedextforinclude functionality has changed. But the docs haven't been") at the suggestion of Adobe support:
@dacCfml@ColdFusionCan you post your queries athttp://t.co/8UF4uCajTCfor all cfclient and mobile queries.— Anit Kumar Panda (@anitkumar85)April 29, 2014
This particular question is not regarding <cfclient>, hence posting it on the regular forum, not on the mobile-specific one as Anit suggested. I have edited this in places to remove language that will be deemed inappropriate by the censors here. Changes I have made are in [square brackets]. The forums software here has broken some of the styling, but so be it.
G'day:
Remember this one: "ColdFusion 11: preventing files from being included? [WTH], Adobe?". I can confirm this verymoderatelyslightly contentious feature has been changed in ColdFusion 11, but the docs have not been updated to reflect the change.
The issue is summarised thus (from the article linked-to above):
[...]out of the box ColdFusion 11 will only allow the inclusion of CFML and HTML files. Why? They cite "for security reasons". Here's a quote (posted in the bugtracker, originally from the pre-release forums):
"Vamseekrishna Manneboina: Yes, this was done as part of a security measure. You can now only include CFM/CFML files by default. You can specify additional extensions via a property called allowedextforinclude in neo-runtime.xml. By default, HTM and HTML file extensions are already added to this list/property, thereby allowing for inclusion of HTM and HTML files too by default."
OK, I disagree there's merit in this, some others agree, others disagree. But... so be it. I actually thought - if I was in a charitable mood - that the people that were "for" this change made a reasonable case for its inclusion, so - whilst not agreeing with them - I was content to just shrug and go "yeah, oh well".
Now this feature is still in the docs: "New in ColdFusion 11 - Restrictions", but this is not the way it now works. Initially I thought it had been removed completely (and I am now in the midst of retooling this article from saying that... as I only worked out what was going on 2/3rds of the way through writing it).
I did a secure install the other day, and one of the first things I tested was this:
 <cfset message = "before"> <cfoutput> #message#<br> <cfinclude template="code.inc"> <cfset message = "after"> #message#<br> </cfoutput>
 <cfset message="within"> <cfoutput> #message#<br> </cfoutput>
And this all runs fine, as one would expect:
before
within
after
Next I checked neo-runtime.xml to see if the settings had been augmented to switch this off by default: but I'm buggered if I can see any reference to it anywhere.
So I then checked ColdFusion Administrator to see if there was any hint of it there, as this was one of the things Adobe said they were going to do in their solution to this. And there it is:
So by default now, anything is allowed. I figured I must have missed the setting in neo-runtime.xml, so changed the setting to "FOOBAR" so I could easily spot it, and there it is down @ /wddxPacket/data/array/*[16]/var[@name="compileextforinclude"] in neo-runtime.xml:
<var name="compileextforinclude"> <string>FOOBAR</string> </var>
And - having changed it back to something sensible: CFM, then the feature now "works":
before
#message#
after
However this is probably a worse security hole than the one they were trying to fix! It looks OK when looking at the render in the browser, but look at the actual raw mark-up:
before<br> <cfset message="within"> <cfoutput> #message#<br> </cfoutput> after<br>
We have unparsed CFML source code sent to the browser. This is awful. What if someone switches this on, and doesn't spot one of their old includes which has less-than-trivial CFML in it? It's now publicly accessible. Adobe have created a feature which has the possibility to leak source code to the outside world. How is that a security feature?
Also interesting is that with the super-secure profile installed, this is still off by default? I would have thought it'd be on in this case?
I still don't think this feature has been implemented properly, and it all still points even more to the fact the Adobe ColdFusion bods don't really know what they're doing.
Anyway, I'll nudge Adobe to at least get the docs sorted out.
Time for work (3min ago)...
Adam

Hi Adam,
Regarding "What if someone switches this on, and doesn't spot one of their old includes which has less-than-trivial CFML in it?", yeah I agree that'd be a problem. Hmm, maybe both this.allowedextforinclude *and* this.compileextforinclude should've been supported (instead of replacing the former w/ the latter as was done)? Example:
this.compileextforinclude="cfm,cfml,inc";
this.allowedextforinclude="cfm,cfml,inc,txt";
That way an exception could be thrown if cf|included file's extension wasn't in the this.allowedextforinclude list.
Perhaps the above could be shortened to:
this.compileextforinclude="cfm,cfml,inc";
this.allowedextforinclude="txt";//implicitly includes * from this.compileextforinclude (since -compile- implies -allowed-)
Dunno if that'd be confusing.
Anyhow, just some thoughts..
Thanks!,

How to create a Flex3 project with remote ColdFusion server?

I have a question related to Flex 3 and ColdFusion that it might be simple to answer but I have been struggling with it for a while.
How to create a Flex application using Flex Builder 3 that uses ColdFusion, but the ColdFusion server is not installed locally but in a remote server?
I need to create a Flex application to use with ColdFusion and although this is a simple procedure when we are creating the project in a computer where you have ColdFusion installed locally (as all books shows examples of it), but what if the ColdFusion server is installed in another machine in the network?
My current situation is the following:
-          I have Flex Builder 3 install in my PC at work and its workspace is in a folder in the network outside of my PC.
-          We have a server (ISWEB1) partition in two drives; C, where the ColdFusion 8 is installed and D where all the files the developers work with reside. The ColdFusion installation runs in a server where IIS is used as the web server.
-          I have the drive D on the server ISWEB1 mapped to one of my letter drives and can access it easily
-          The drive C on the Server can only be accessed remotely (or through the web to access the ColdFusion admin page) and is not exposed to the network as drive D is.
My problem is, I need to create a Flex 3 application that uses ColdFusion using remote object access service (CF Flash Remoting) but I wanted to point to the installation version on the server ISWEB1 and not to the one installed locally. The Configure ColdFusion Server screen in the Flex Builder asked me for the location of ColdFusion root folder, Web root, and root URL. There is no way I can point to the server (ISWEB1)where ColdFusion is installed as those fields seem to required a address that points to a local install or a mapping on that local server.
The work around that could be used is to use the ColdFusion developers edition I have installed locally and use during the creation of the project in Flex Builder, but then I would have to have all the same data sources, mappings, and CFCs in my the local server in order to test, which seems double work. To aggravate that when you try to test the application Flex writes the files to the local server and unless you have everything available locally it would not work properly. I am trying to avoid duplicating the work. Ideally I would like to test the Flex application on the server where the CF is installed and where the Flex Builder workspace is.

Sort of. I found this article below that helped me to connect to the remote CF server using MXML. It seems that you have to create a regular project in Flex with Aplication Server Type set to None and connect to CF using the endpoint attribute of the RemoteObject MXML tag or via AS.
http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/200
However I found out after getting error using the AS3 code to use the endpoint property that
mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject does not support the "endpoint" property
whereas mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject does. See link below
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html
So I had to change my AS3 code by adding a new channel to my RemoteObject using a code similar to the one on the link below (Note that this code uses PHP, when I instantiate myRemoteObject, I do so informing that the destination is "ColdFusion" [new RemoteObject("ColdFusion")], so no need to set destination as in the code on the link below
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/120115
I hope that helps you.

Wierd ColdFusion erro : Error occurred while processing request.

Hi there ,
I am a graduate student and new to ColdFusion.I started working on this already developed project by someone couple of years ago , and the client wants some changes to be done.so i went ahead and did some small modifications to the appearance of the form(insertdata.cfm page) like adding some more options to a drop down menu , changing the label names and so on and am very sure this changes would not have effected the application in any way.And the place where the message says the error can be , i didnt even touch that part.Now after 4 days i start getting this weird error saying " Error Occurred While Processing Request

Coldfusion tags are not recognized

Hi all,
I am new to coldfusion.
I have installed coldfusion studio software onto my machine.

Your web server is not passing the CFML files to the
ColdFusion server.
Review your installation process.
Review your installation logs.
Can you access your ColdFusion Administrator?
What flavor of ColdFusion did you install?

Coldfusion administrator after downloading does not open

After I downloaded Coldfusion8 the 30 day trial version, I am
having difficulty opening the administration page.Instead,
I get an internal server error. (http500).
Is this has to do with IIS or Coldfusion?
I am desperate, since I am new with Coldfusion application.
GEORGES,

Coldfusion chroot

ok, so I'm trying to integrate cf8 with my apache2 inside of
a chroot jail. when running this command:
strace chroot /chroot/apache/
/opt/coldfusion8/runtime/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -autorestart
-start coldfusion
i get this error:
wait4(-1, Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: Can't detect
initial thread stack location - find_vma failed
now, coldfusion is starting as user nobody, i have nobody in
my /chroot/apache/etc/passwd and /chroot/apache/etc/group. Also
I've ldd'd all the binary files in in the jre directory and i'm
pretty sure all the libraries are in my chroot environment, i just
don't know what else to try.
Any hints?

several things may be wrong with it:
1) destination must be an ABSOLUTE path. use expandpath()
function to
get an absolute path from a relative - check the function
syntax in cf
reference or livedocs if you need to.
2) what is "ul_path" you use in the filefield attribute? you
should put
the name of the form field of type="file" in there. if
ul_path is a
variable you set that holds the name of the file field in
your form,
surround it with #.
as an aside, you may want to put your <cffile ...> code
inside a <cftry>
and use <cfcatch> to show an error if a file of wrong
type has been
selected. otherwise your users will see an ugly
non-descriptive CF error
only.

Showing results of new record

HI Everyone,
I am new to Coldfusion so I need a little hand holding. Here
is what I am trying to do with two tables in question from a SQL
Server 2005 database:
Suppliers
CompanyID
Company
Contact
Address
State
States
StateID
StateAbbrev
StateName
The State row in the Suppliers Table is a FK link to the
StatesID row in the States table.
I am using a dropdown menu to add the new Supplier in the
website. I am able to insert the new Supplier just fine, which is
wonderful.
My problem, however, is on the Results page. After the
insertion of the new record, the user is automatically forwarded to
a results page where he can see the new Supplier.
For the State, he sees the
StateID from the States table. This is all fine and dandy,
but I would like to be able to show "NJ" instead of "5" as the
State.
Any help for me on this ... Like sure...done all the time!
But I'm kinda boxed...

I think you just need to use a join in the query returning
the new suppier information. Here is the basic idea
SELECT s.CompanyID, s.Company, s.Contact, s.Address,
st.StateAbbrev
FROM Suppliers s INNER JOIN States st ON s.State = st.StateID
WHERE s.Supplier = #IDOfNewSupplier#
