ColdFusion

ColdFusion is awesome for my work. I can make anything I want with it and seeing as 99% of my work is making web applications, I haven't needed to look elsewhere.I was just wondering why anyone would need to learn Java, if you already know ColdFusion... I understand that ColdFusion runs on Java, but is there anything special I could do with Java that is not possible in ColdFusion for use in websites?It intrigues me because I have to cover the work of an ASP.NET developer, and when I was looking at his C# code (which looked very similar to Java) it made me cry to think people make websites in this way. Compared to ColdFusion it looks archaic but then I remember that CF works with Java so I thought about looking into learning Java. But is there any advantage to me doing this?

I have a ColdFusion8 environment. I need to generate a sound alarm when an event occurs... is it possible ?

I'm using CF9 on windows 7 professional. when ever i execute from a form to the action page i get this error:Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface VAFOINS_NEW.Componet.display.

Hello all,Anybody have MySql skills? Our reqular guy is out for a couple of weeks so I'm trying to help out. I am mainly a UI guy but I am enjoying CF. Ok to the question. I am trying to update a table with another table. I want to find any duplicate rows based on a particular field, replace them and then add any new rows. Here is what I have (the error that it returns is below):<cfquery datasource="square" name="loadupdates">            SELECT MLS_Id, List_Price, Public_Address, Street_Number, Street_Name, Unit_Number, City, Zip_Code, Subdivision_Name, Bedroom, Baths_Total, Full_Baths, Half_Baths, Square_Feet, Lot_Sqft, Garage_Capacity, Garage_Type, High_School, Junior_School, Property_Description, Listing_Office_Name, Listing_Office_Id, Listing_Agent_Name, Listing_Agent_Phone, Listing_Agent_Id, Short_Sale, Open_House_Flag, List_Date, Last_Image_Update, Price_Change_Date, Image_Count, Latitude, Longitude   &nb

Greetings, I have a server with Windows Server 2008, IIS 7, Cf9.0.2 updated with all of the latest patches and hot fixes, multi server installation. I have 4 websites running in the cfusion instance. I want to create a 2nd CF instance and connect siteB to the 2nd CF instance. I created a 2nd CF instance and cannot get siteB to work. I get Service Unavailable when trying to hit the website. I created a test.html in the siteB's root directory and get same Service Unavailable error when I try to go to the html page. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. here is what I did to create the instance - CF admin, Instance manager, create a new instance with the option to create a Windows service - copy JRun4/bin/jvm.config to jvmSiteB.config - jrunsvc -remove {newly created service} - jrunsvc -install CF instance 2 with -config full_path_to\jvmSiteB.config - WebConfig Tool to create connector for the IIS website siteB connecting it to the newly created Windows service from 2 steps above. I checked

I am using a  <cfinclude template="../MakeYourChoice/index.cfm"> on a page that once the coice is made the screen below will provide feedback.   I just realized the  <cfinclude template="../MakeYourChoice/index.cfm"> is showing up at the top and at the bottom is the next screen that should NOT show up as two screens on one page. How can I make this process as seperate pages without changing hundreds of lines of code?!?  Thanks! 

Hi all,This question is sort of related to a previous post of mine about querying dates.  I'm trying to use a cfif statement in my where clause to determine if a field is empty or not.  Here's the code:<cfquery name="GetPastEvents" datasource="DSN">     SELECT *     FROM SITE:Calendar     WHERE DatePart('yyyy', [StartDate]) = <cfqueryparam value="#Dateformat(Today, 'yyyy')#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DATE" />     and <cfif EndDate neq ''>StartDate<cfelse>EndDate</cfif> < <cfqueryparam value="#Today#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DATE" />     and Archive = <cfqueryparam value="0" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" />     ORDER BY StartDate ASC, StartTime ASC</cfquery>My issue that that CF tells me EndDate is not defined.  EndDate is a field in the table SITE:Calendar.  There has to be a way to make this work, no?  Thanks

I have an issue with Cold Fusion 10 Standard. I am running it a several Windwos 2008 R2 Servers with IIS 7.5. Each time I add a new website, I have to run the Web Configuration Tool or the site will not come up unless the the path includes the default doc. I have to remove the current IIS setup and then run it again in the Web Configuration Tool to get it to work properly. This is an issue on our production servers. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

IIS is expecting c:\Inetput\wwwroot\cfdocs, however cfdocs is not appearing under wwwroot. How can I fix this?Jim

Hi all,I am attempting to output some calendar dates from a database. I have a field called StartDate in the table formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. I'd like to output "future dates" for each month, so I've written this query:<cfquery name="January" datasource="dsn">     SELECT *     FROM SITE:Calendar     WHERE DatePart('m', [StartDate]) = 1 and StartDate >= #Today# and Archive = 0     ORDER BY StartDate ASC, StartTime ASC</cfquery>FYI: #Today# is formatted as mm/dd/yyyyThis query works, but it also returns passed dates for the month.  Question 1 is, why isn't the above query eliminating dates that have passed for the month of January?  Is there a way to do this?At another spot on the page, I'd like to output all dates less than #Today# that have passed for the current calendar year, so I've written this query:<cfquery name="Past" datasource="dsn">     SELECT *&nbs

ColdFusion 10 works just fine serving pages for our Intranet. Installed on Windows Server 2003 SP2, and previously worked fine with a trial version of ColdFusion MX 7. After the installation of Coldfusion 10, however when the server is logged off, Service is Temporarily Unavailable page is displayed.  Admin console is not available either at the same time. The Cold Fusion 10 Application Server service shows running, but doesn't serve pages. The service has to be restarted, then the pages are served again.How can we make the application server continue to serve up the Intranet .cfm pages while not logged in to the server?jcasey1987

I'm trying to get CF10 Developer Edition working on Websphere 8.5.5.0 Liberty Profile, and after messing around (a LOT) with the web.xml and adding a -Dcoldfusion.disablejsafe=true java parameter to the startup, I've almost got it working.(Incidentally.... it would be really nice for those of us doing Enterprise work if there was some kind of explanation of every single entry in web.xml... otherwise we're just fooling around with it until all the different CF services are working.)However, I'm seeing this on the left frame when I log into the admin panel:The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.Error Occurred While Processing RequestObject Instantiation Exception.Class not found: com.adobe.coldfusion.entman.ProcessServer Resources:Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors.

I have a CF 9.0.2 on two servers that looks to have hf902-00005.jar installed.  Did Cumulative hot fix 1 need to be installed prior to this hot fix?   I have a a dev server showing Java VM as 14.3-b01 with version Java JDK 1.6.0_17 and the production server showing Java VM 20.4-b02 with version Java JDK 1.6.0_29.  The production server is having ODBC run time problems. Both are installed on windows 2008 r2 64 bit servers.  CF 9.0.2 is also 64bit.

I'm using a 32-bit version of CF9 and it's installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine (64-bit).  The problem I'm running into is that it won't allow me to create a COM object - it gives me the error, "no ntvinv in java.library.path null" when I try to run, <cftry> <cfobject type="COM" action="CONNECT" name="Engine" class="JRO.JetEngine"> <cfcatch type="Any">    <cfobject type="COM" action="CREATE" name="Engine" class="JRO.JetEngine"> </cfcatch></cftry> Then when I run it a 2nd time, I get "An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object.

i am rebuilding a new client's cart to be pci compliant (far from it now lol) and i called authorize.net tech support and the person was talking about what i though was a formstet or app in my cc page that was literally connected to a/n's site and i never need to work with cc data at all. it returns the standard string, i think, to a specified page on my clients site.he said it was called "direct post" but when i read the documentation it sounded like what the site has and i use on other client sites where you post to a page on your site all the data and convert to X_ tags and ship it via https to authorize net. i don't think the person was quite sure what he was talking about and was wondering if any of you have had experience with a direct connection (pipe) to authorize.net for transactions.i put site on a hosted cf10 pci compliant cloud server.i don't like dealing with cc data on the site. makes me nervous and a/n can be a pain.tnx in advance
