We're currently is using ColdFusion8 and need to upgrade the database from SQL Server 2000 to 2008. Will ColdFusion8 work with SQL Server 2008 compatibility level 90?

Our clients tend to enter both single angle brackers (i.e. "hours <4") and the HTML tags into a form field. We can not use HTMLEditFormat() on the field since they want their formatting preserved. At the same time, using a single bracket trancates the field output. Is there a way to distinguish  a single "<" from the beginning of an HTML tag so we can internally substitute it with <?Thanks for your advice!

Hi,I'm planning to move my ColdFusion framework to the Cloud, Amazon EC2.  It will expose web services as need it for mobile devices and also regular web sites.My framework requires a relation database to manage users, authentication, etc.  I want to be able to scale adding more frontend web servers.What do you think?Do you think session management is going to be a problem?What about hosting my files in amazon S3? or just in the local web server?I think the current AMI with cold Fusion 10 is a good option.I am kind of new to CF. Any advice or other considerations are welcome.Thanks a lot

I moved all my code from a Win2003S/CF8 box to a Win2008S/CF10 box and now am having issues where CF loads blank pages after a few hours of uptime.  I'm noticing that the coldfusion.exe service starts around 500mb of memory, and slowly moves up to about 780mb of memory. As it tops 700mb it begins loading blank pages which can be reloaded for intended content. Once it hit 770mb it loads ONLY blank pages, and the service can no longer be restarted. It must be killed by Task Manager.This was never a problem before on CF8.I have searched far and wide for a solution, but found only this:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7788280/memory-leak-when-redeploying-application-in-tomcatI'm not sure what code is causing the memory balloon, or even where to look for clues. None of the logs have anything in them other than the occasional missing file due to a bad offsite link, and plenty of "query timed out" errors due to CF Server crashing.I'm now restarting CF every two hours.Completely flummox

Traditionally, when I encapsulate code in a <CFTRY> block, I have it use the 'APPLICATION.coms.fw.error' component to handle processing of that error.This is all well and fine, but during the first call to the application, where everything is starting up, lots of processing is done reading configuration files to get pathing, etc.  And that code has <CFTRY> blocks, but the thing is, they wouldn't be able to all the error component (because it hasn't yet been instantiated).So should I just do something like:<cfif isDefined( 'APPLICATION.coms.fw.error' )><!--- Handle Error Via Component. ---><cfelse><!--- Output message to screen, use CFLOG to log error and the CFABORT to halt further processing. ---></cfif>

I cannot believe how bad CFB2 is!  I have been using CFB1 since beta and I love it.  When CFB2 was first released, I installed the trial and quickly learned that I need to revert back to CFB1.  I recently installed CFB2 on a client machine, probably more than a year later, hoping that things were better, and once again I am having to uninstall!Here's what is wrong:All of the keyboard shortcuts that I use were replaced by more difficult key combinations and I cannot customize them back because there are conflicts with stuff I don't use.  I can live with this, but why?Find and replace within selelected text area DOES NOT WORK!  Unbelievable!  Someone told me you simply select the text and it knows to search and replace only selected text.  It replaced all occurances on the page!File search used to display results in tree format with list of occurrences under each.  This is invaluable and gone!  You can either see a tree or a list.  What g

Given a simple Word (2010) document (.docx) that is a buleted list of three lines of text using completely default formatting, CFDocument will generate a PDF that has bizzarre icons for the bullets.We have 3 separate servers that behave in 3 different ways.All 3 servers are running the same versions of Coldfusion (9) and OpenOffice (3.4.1).  They're all Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) servers.One server generates a PDF with clock symbols for the bullets.  0xB7 in Wingdings.One server generates a PDF with diamond symbols for the bullets.  0xB7 in Wingdings 2.One server generates a PDF with 35/17 symbols for the bullets.  0xB7 in MS Reference Specialty.Word is using the Symbol font for the bullet character, and Calibri for the body.All servers have the Symbol font listed in the Font Management of the CFIDE Administrator:symbol Symbol SymbolMT TRUETYPE PDF/FlashPaper c:\windows\fonts\symbol.ttf We're calling CFDcoument like so:<CFDOCUMENTFILENAME="C:\bullets.pdf"SRC

Our server has gone down and the Coldfusion 8 service will not start.  There is no information in any of the logs for anything today since its gone down.  Ive checked the root logs directory as well as the runtime logs directory.The server.log is the only file being updated and it shows "Starting logging..." and then "Starting license..." and hangs.  The service does not start and the log gets nothing more after this point.  Memory continues to go up slowly, we've increased the start timeout tremendously with no effect.  There is little to no CPU usage.Our server is licensed and has never had this problem before.  It is the standard version.Our server is completely down and we are losing clients.  From what we can tell a windows update occurred, which we have since removed in case it was the issue, and when the server restarted CF did not come back.  We have been working on this for hours with no results.Please help and let me know anything you m

HelloAfter creating a new form in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 from a blank template, ColdFusion 10 returns errors. When tring to perform a cfpdfform action=read on the pdf form, Coldfusion returns "String out of range". Using the same document, tring to pre-load the form fields in the PDF using the cfpdfform action=populate, I get the message from CF10 "Premature end of file". I'm not sure why this is happening. I have added the attribute overwrite="yes" as per a bug in version 8, but no luck. I have tried using a different PDF created from a template in ES2 with no luck. I can dump the values returned to CF from the PDF I created form using cfdump tag. I've even tried the sub-form attributes. I think there may be an issue reading the PDF form attributes from the source document, but I cannot verify as CF returns the error message. Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks, JK

Hi everyone,       I have set up a blog page on our site. I created an Add Blog page for engineers to enter the blog info. They choose who to send the info. in an email to have it approved. When the approver receives the email, there is a link they can click on to edit that blog info. When they click update, it approves the blog entry just entered and displays it on the Blog page. I also set up a login page that the engineers and approvers must log into before they can get to the add blog page or edit blog page. I have this working fine to get to the add blog page, but I'm having problems with the edit page. How can I get the link in the email to work correctly to get to the edit page, but having to login first? I've set this code on the add and edit pages:<cfset MyHost = CGI.Server_Name><CFIF CGI.HTTP_Referer does not contain "#MyHost#"><cflocation url="../Blog_Login/login.cfm" addtoken="No"></CFIF>    This code will

Hi all,We have been using cftransaction on our transaction process page where we need to do multiple insert queries to save transaction data.  If there is no error, we commit the transaction.  Once in a while though, we get the error message "Transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction."  We are on SQL Server 2005.What I understand from that error message is that there are multiple transactions trying to access the same tables at the same time.  Implicitly, one transaction has locked the tables while it is inserting data, and other transactions are not able to access them. Now I don't fully understand cftransaction beyond its commit / rollback functionality.  I never quite understood the isolationLevel attribute of cftransaction.  I have read a number of descriptions, but the terms dirty read, phantom data, nonrepeatable reads are still confusing to me.  What I do

Adobe JRun will no longer be available for purchase post April 2013. Adobe will continue to fulfill its obligations under existing maintenance contracts through the term of such contracts.ColdFusion 9, however will continue to be under core support from Adobe.Here's the link to the updated JRun product page and FAQ page on adobe.com.

I'm helping a colleague with a web app that is basically a database of links to documents that are scattered around our website.  It's meant to be a way to search for documents using various criteria without having to browse the entire site.The data is organized into categories (known as disciplines) and subcategories (known as subdisciplines) as well as a few other parameters.  I'm helping to get the database normalized, but one of the things I want to do is make the search form reflect the current database contents.Currently, a web form with a few <select> items is used, and some Javascript makes the subdisciplines <select> dependent on what's selected in the disciplines <select> box. Thus, anytime a new one of either of those two items is added, the JS needs to be edited.  I'd like to make this automatic, so I'm trying to use bind to do it.Right now I have the following form:<cfform name="fectchdocs" action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post">&lt

I've been reading up on CF10's applicationStop() function and something simply isn't clicking as after I use it I get an error that states:APPLICATION '' DOES NOT EXIST.And after I remove the code and run the page again, the dump I have shows the old APPLICATION's information (one of the variables in the structure is a 'dateInitialized' which sets the current date into it when the application starts, and it's showing an old date)I put this code in the APPLICATION.cfc constructor area so that it runs at the beginning of the page load.I'm assuming my issue here is partly due to where I'm putting the code, but Adobe's page on applicationStop() is not specific as to this.
