Problem in Cold Fusion MX

we have an issue displaying content that is under a database,
with a datatype ntext. CF don't give us any error but it just don't
display the field that is in a ntext datatype.
Is there a way to get Cold Fusion to display the content that
is under that datatype?
Everything goes well with CF5 but with CF7, that problem
appear??? Help anyone???

I have correct the problem by placing the ntext value last in
the select statement... that is king of weird... doesn anybody know
another way to correct that problem???
You have to put:
<cfquery datasource="dsfusion" name = "voir">
select
id,titre,chronique,images,date_parution,heure_parution,signature,domaine,chroniqueur,cour riel,grande_images,commentaire,approbation,para1,para2,para3,para4,para5,para6,para7,para8 ,para9,para10
from contenu
where id = #identification#
</cfquery>
instead of
<cfquery datasource="dsfusion" name = "voir">
select * from contenu
where id = #identification#
</cfquery>

Problems with Cold Fusion Forms

Hey Everybody -
Pretty new to these forums and cold fusion in general. I
created a number of forms in cold fusion for a school. They sign up
for classes and when they fill out ALL text fields they
successfully submit the form and they see a success page. Sounds
great right? well kind of.
If a user doesnt fill out the entire form, and submits it
gives them an error with coldfusion errors. So I am faced with a
few choices. I can either: have the form forward them to an error
page instead of the coldfusion error, or if there's a way I can
fill in the null values so that there isnt a problem with nulls. I
want to have validation but I want it in a seperate page since I
dont have the room to add errors in the form itself.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I always do ALL my form validations with a client-side JS
**and** with server-side CF.
I don't use <cfform>, I know <cfform> is
dependant on the java version the user has installed on their end.
I know I came across quite a few issues where on one machine the
<cfform> worked fine, and on another it konked out.
Anways, this is one of my most basic forms:
=============================================
PAGE1.cfm
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validate() {
var IA = document.ContactUs;
var errorMSG = "";
if(IA.FullName.value == "") {errorMSG += "Full Name\n";}
if(IA.Email.value == "") {errorMSG += "Email\n";}
if(errorMSG != "") {
alert("The following fields are required:\n\n" + errorMSG);
return false;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="ContactUs" action="page1_x.cfm" method="post"
onSubmit="return validate();">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">Name: </td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="FullName"
maxlength="50" size="25"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Email Address: </td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="Email"
maxlength="50" size="25"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Comments: </td>
<td align="left"><textarea name="Comments"
cols="20" rows="5" id="comments"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="SubmitContact"
value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
=============================================
=============================================
page1_x.cfm
<cfif isdefined("FORM.SubmitContact") and FORM.FullName
NEQ "" and FORM.Email NEQ "">

<cfelse>

<cflocation url="page1.cfm?status=1" addtoken="no">
</cfif>
=============================================
Now, there is sooooo much more you can here for a full blown
error-proof script. You can also check if the e-mail is a valid
e-mail (server side), and if the field is a numeric field (like zip
code, phone number, etc) then check if that field is valid, etc.
This is just a run-of-mill simple form and validation
submission using both client-side JS and server-side code.

Cold Fusion Problems

I am trying to access information that is really in PDF format (I think) but uses Cold Fusion to do the work. Does OSX have a problem with Cold Fusion and if so is there a work around?
Thanks

I think Preview should be able to handle those kind of files

Flex/cold fusion wizard & Visual Query builder has a problem

has anybody tried the cold fusion / flex application wizard in flex 3?
to get there follow these menu choices:
file new other cold fusion wizards coldfusion / flex application wizard
I previously installed cf8 and the rds query viewer works fine.
i simply choose from the following menus:
window other views... Cold Fusion RDS dataview
i was initially prompted for the rds password which i entered.
in the RDS Dataview, I can see the tables, columns, and data for all my existing datasources.
Unfortunately, when I use the COld Fusion/Flex application wizard,
I get to the page layout and design screen, add a page with the name artists, choose page type master, and click the Edit master page button.
Nothing happens when I click the Edit Master Page button. I followed the cf/flex tutorial exactly but there is no query builder.
I dont know if this is related but in the RDS query viewer, the Visual Query BUilder doesn't work.
I think this may be the problem (the visual query builder has a problem)
Unfortunately, how do I fix this problem

already found the answer
flex has to be run as administrator if using WIndows Vista
simply shut down flex, right click the startup icon, choose run as administrator, and the visual query builder runs fine.
Dont know why this occurs because you are always prompted for the rds password.
anyway, problem solved.

JVM cold fusion problem

We are running weblogic 6.0, accessing it from cold fusion.
What we are seeing is, we can access the application server --
sometimes. Seems about 50% of the time we get succes, the other 50% we
are getting an exception "Exception: Cannot instantiate class:
weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"
We have been trying to figure this out for days now, it appears that the
WLInitialContextFactory class is being unloaded and is failing on trying
to reload -- sometimes.
has anyone else out there seen problems like this and gotten a fix?
We made the jvm memory in cold fusion to 32MB's, 4MB's initial and it
doesnt seem to be running very low on memory.
We have changed from using jdk1.2.1, jdk1.2.2, jdk1.3 and they all seem
to perform the same. The percentage of failure seems to change slightly
but I am guessing that the gc in the different jvm's is working
differently.
Any help you can add will be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
I had the same problem and nearly go nuts with it. At Macromedia I only found
an article which described a 'limitation to ColdFusion classloader' (nice description
for a bug).

Air,Flex ,Cold Fusion There is a problem with P4990 Release of AIR Updater

using Air/Flex/cf I am not able to connect to my Cold Fusion
component after running the P4990 UPdate this morning, It worked
fine on both an XP and Vista Machine running P4880 , but now even
after a restart my simple connection to the cfcomponent is hanging
and will not run.
this worked fine in the release I was running this morning,
runs fine in a browser just not after patching ?
two questions ,
where can I download the P4880 Release Again
and is this a bug or a change ? ,
if its a change what is the new way of connecting.

I read through the notes and iI even recreated my air file,
but it is still hanging , here is the html for the connection
to the app as well as the flex remote connection I am using, it all
works in the browser, but again just hangs in air after this update

Cold Fusion in a generic thread pool and enabling JAVA don't mix

I've got Cold Fusion MX installed on a server running Sun One 6.1. I ran into a problem trying to enable JAVA (for servlet support) which I had previous disabled because I didn't use it.
Well, when I went to enable JAVA on the server last week, the service wouldn't restart and the error logs gave me no indication of the problem.
Through a tedious trial-and-error process I've found that having Cold Fusion running under a generic thread pool while trying to have JAVA (the j2ee plugin) running under Sun One simply doesn't work (for whatever reason).
Once I killed the pool, everything runs fine.
Does anyone happen to know why this is? I keep CFMX under its own thread pool because there are certain elements to CFMX that aren't wholly stable and can result in CFMX crashing. If it crashes, the process keeps accepting requests, but never processes them. I'd like to keep the native thread pool free to keep accepting non-CFMX requests even when CFMX crashes.
Thus the separate thread pool for CFMX.
But now I can't run CFMX in a separate thread pool with JAVA enabled.
Anyone have any insights into why this is?
Thanks

Two things. Firstly, it's better to use private static final Object classLock = new Object();because that saves you worrying about whether any other code synchronises on it. Secondly, if you do decide to go for the delegation route then java.lang.reflect.Proxy may be a good way forward.

Cannot browse server following installation of hotfix 4 to Cold Fusion 9.0.1

Hi
I've been tasked with updating a ColdFusion 9.0.1 installation to the latest patches. I've started with Hotfix 4. The installation appeared to go OK, and the services started after I applied the update. However, when I went to moved onto the next update (APSB13-10) starting by browsing to the update file I ran into a problem. When I click on the "browse server" button to locate the .jar file for the next update I encounter an error: "Unable to authenticate on RDS server using current security information". I've also found that if I try to put the full path into the Update File line and hit "Submit Changes" it errors.
This seems to be the same problem as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5256752#5256752, but there's no solution to the problem in that discussion.
I've checked the RDS settings, and RDS is unchecked. I notice that this screen is different from the pre-upgrade screen, but this seems to be as a result of, I think, APSB13-03, which is included in HotFix 4. If I try to make any changes on this screen it errors and logs me out of the Cold Fusion administrator. I've tried commenting out the RDS section in the web.xml file, but this gives me a different error.
I'm doing this on an isolated test server which has no access to the network. If I revert to the snapshot I took before the upgrade attempt ColdFusion runs as expected.
Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.

In case it helps anyone I've realised what I was doing wrong here.
The main “problem” was that one of the updates included in Cumulative Hotfix 4 is APSB13-03 (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-security-hotfix-apsb13-03.html). I knew this changed the behaviour of RDS but my knowledge prior to this work of ColdFusion and in particular RDS was very limited, and so I didn't understand the implications of this hotfix. What this update does is disable RDS by default; I wasn't really aware what the RDS status of my server was prior to the update, partly because before this update there is no "disable RDS" tick box to show whether it is enabled or disabled. With RDS disabled, you can't browse as the update instructions require you to do. Obviously RDS was enabled on my setup without me realising it.
My understanding of this wasn't helped by the fact that when I tried to paste a path into the box and hit the "update" button I got a different error, which I described in my original post. Similarly if I tried to change RDS settings, or do pretty much anything in the administrator, it failed and logged me out in the same way. It seemed to me that the whole thing was broken by the updates and I didn't know how to fix it.
So, following the excellent advice of Charlie Arehart in two articles: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/12/12/cfmyths_cumulative_hotfixes and http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2011/10/21/why_chfs_may_break, I went back to the start and installed the cumulative hotfixes one by one. Although I don't think I actually needed to do this, as Hotfix 4 seems to contain all the previous hotfixes, it did help me realise that the browsing/RDS issue and the error and logout when I tried to do anything in the administrator were two different problems. After further bit of googling I found people suggesting that you should use https to access the administrator, but the shortcut I had was taking me to http (as far as I know I was using the default shortcut). I found that by going to https the problem of being logged out when trying to do anything disappeared and I could put a UNC path in to update the .jar file for the next update. I also was now able to enable RDS for single password and could browse like the hotfix instructions advise. I've since disabled RDS and accepted the inability to browse as a "feature", happy that it's more secure as a result.
So my “problems” were largely self-inflicted due to my own ignorance of the product, but it wasn’t helped by Adobe’s apparent inability to grasp that there may be similarly ignorant people attempting these updates. It would have been nice to see some guidance from them. Furthermore, the cumulative hotfix 4 page (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/cumulative-hotfix-4-coldfusion-901.html) doesn’t even mention RDS, let alone that the default behaviour changes. It’s only when you check the individual hotfix information that you can see the information that helped me to realise where I was going wrong.
As for using https not http; great, but if I’m right that my shortcut is the default out-of-the-box shortcut, where’s the information to advise to change to using https as a result of one of the hotfixes included in hotfix 4 (originally, I think, hotfix 2)? It’s certainly not mentioned on the page for cumulative hotfix 4.

Cold Fusion Issue

Hi There my name is Javier and I am a baby on this java issues.
I am having this problem trying to get the pay flow program from VeriSign to work with the cold fusion administrator I did all the steps but when I test it came out with an error saying that I need to install the JVM or JRE because it didn't find it so you need to tell the path of the jvm.dll on the Cold Fusion Administrator in order for this test to run succesfully.
I did a search for jvm.dll nothin but I notice there is some java files there so I did a test went to this site download jre 4.1.1.8 and install it on my home computer the installation went fine and then I notice the installation creates a directory called JRE4.1.1.8 and I did a search for the jvm.dll but also ntohing like that shows up instead I found two dll files, javai.dll and another java dll file but the question is: IF i DESIRE TO INSTALL THE NEW VERSION OF JVM ON THE SERVER WHAT DLL FILE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE DEFINE ON THE COLD FUSION ADMINISTRATOR, was there any changes from the last version of JVM to the news version I am assuming there is but I don't know what to look for.
Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated.

Did you figure out the solution to your problem? I am running into the same issue.

JDBC/Cold Fusion to 8.1.6 DB

I'm using the 8.1.7 JDBC client on a Win2K Cold Fusion Server. The client connects to the database, but frequently hangs in the midst of a simple query. When I look at the task manager in Windows, the jrun process has maxed out at 99% with very little RAM being used. I'm trying to figure if this is a JDBC problem or a java runtime bug.
anyone have suggestions?

Update: I am running the rmjvm.run( true ) procedure to remove the jvm install. This is hanging as well. It creates the 'MONSTER' rollback segment, via the initjvmaux.rollbacksetup call, but then hangs (it appears) after that...I'll let it run a bit longer but this getting very frustrating is to say the least (of course, I have said more @()$*&@$(*#&!!!).
If I do a fresh install on the same machine, same parameters, and everything works then Oracle needs to work on their conversion utilities...and I thought their problems were just limited to their GUI tools...oh well. Oh yeah, perhaps a class action lawsuit against big O for loss of productivity because their conversion utility didn't work as documented. Don't get me wrong, best DB on the market, unfortunely, that's where their success ends in my opinion.

Oracle Sequence Vs autoincrement feature in cold fusion-Weird error!!!

When a oracle sequence is used with cold fusion there is a problem with sequence generation. It generates sequence
like "5,4,6,5...."etc. It works fine when using the autoincrement feature. Our application demands using the sequence from oracle.
Have you come across any problem as this? Can anyone tell me if there is any disadvantage using oracle sequence with cold fusion.
Please let me know the disadvantages of the same if any...
Thanks!
Janani.

This was definitely the right answer, I thought ODAC was already installed on the server, but apparently not. I installed the 64-bit OCAC XCopy version on the server and now it works.

Cold Fusion Developer on Intel Mac

I just ordered an Intel Mac....will I be able to install cold
fusion on it for development?
I saw the system requirements posted on the site were for
Power PC processors. So I was just curious if anyone has
successfully used cf with Intel yet; without problems.
Thanks,

Many of us have this running on Intel just fine.
Heres probably the two best links out there to get it
working..

Cold Fusion Application Server

Hello all,
I'm having the weirdest issue with our CF server. They do not
run. However when I start Cold Fusion Application Server, I cannot
login to any of my backend admins. I suspect that it is because it
tries to set an application variable. Then I check for to see if
there the app var is set, if not it redirects to the login page.
I am guessing that the app var is not being set. If I stop
Cold Fusion Application Server, everything works fine.
I don't want to have reinstall CF 5 (on Windows 2000 srv).
Any ideas???
thanks

DettCom,
I had a similar problem to this, but I don't know if you have
the same configuration (it was on CF 6.1). I don't know a whole lot
on CF 5.
I was storing client variables in the cdata/cglobal tables,
and one variable's string ended up longer than I had planned for
(although it was, in fact, correct). I had to increase the size of
the "data" field in CDATA.
Also, anything in the logs? (I know you probably would have
mentioned if there were).
