Hello, all,I was just wondering if anyone has successfully accomplished a CORS via AJaX by setting the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header to either wildcard (*) or FQDN (www.anothersite.com)?I found a claim that I can use a CFHEADER tag to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin and complete a cross-origin request. I was just wondering if anyone else has successfully done the same thing (regardless of server-side language).V/r,^ _ ^

I am looking to get ColdFusion 2016 running with Wildfly 10. I am not very familiar with either one of these two systems and I have not found any instructions or advice online. Our current application are running on ColdFusion 10 and Weblogic 12c but we are being forced by higher ups to move away from Weblogic to Wildfly 10. For security reasons we are moving away from ColdFusion 10 to 16. I don't even really know where to start. I looked on the adobe site and I saw instructions on how to get an old version of Jboss to work with ColdFusion 10 but when I tried to replicate that I got nothing.ThanksJamesd145

Anyone know of a good reason why the Createive Cloud updater requires that ColdFusion service be shutdown to install updates to completely unrelated programs - unrelated other than by the parent company? It's pretty annoying.

Our company has two web services that we host that a vendor uses to grab information from on a periodic basis. These services ran fine on a CF8 SSL site, but once we switched to 11, the services can no longer be created. However, I can create them on our unsecured test site (which also is running CF 11) and access them externally without issue. When I try to create the webservice in the url, I just get a blank page back instead of the XML I should be getting. Is there something special I am missing that has to be done to create web services in a secure environment? The raw error message I get when trying to invoke the secure web service is below:coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl$BadWsdlXMLException: Unable to parse WSDL as an XML document. at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl.retrieveWSDL(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:976) at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl.access$000(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:96) at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl$1.run(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:309) at java.securi

HiI have CF 11 running with SQL server 2005.I have a web server running on mydomain.com.  All was well.I needed to switch mydomain.com to another host off of my network. But I wanted to keep the CF site that was on my network, running under another domain name. So I registered the domain name  mydomaintest.com and pointed it to my current web server.All was well, and when I would go to mydomaintest.com, it would go to my current web server.However, once I switched the domain mydomain.com to point to the new web server, whenever I go to mydomaintest.com now, I get "DATASOURCE Undefined".Any suggestions? This was a custom CF site that I did not build.ThanksMike

HiI have inherited a Cold Fusion website and am interested in engaging an external consultant to help me manage and maintain the site. I have trawled the web but have not found any Sydney based consultants. Does anyone have any recommendations?cheersDavid

Will there be a way for parameters passed to a function to be final?

Adobe did have a pre-release nginx connector for 2016 which doesn't seem to have been released, is there a plan to release it and include it with CF2018?

I am interested in developing in ColdFusion 11... or in 2016 (it doesn't really matter). I see a 30 day trial for the ColdFusion 2016. Is the Developer version "free" or not? What happens at the end of the 30 day trial?

Hi,I have been working with the CF admin api on CF 2016 (patch 6) and when I try and do anything with security, datasources, etc I get an error on the CHECKADMINROLES function. I am using the admin user, even tried creating a new user with full access to everything just in case. Anyone know a way around this as the docs are pretty poor.ERROR:coldfusion.runtime.CustomException:        at coldfusion.tagext.lang.ThrowTag.doStartTag(ThrowTag.java:142)        at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTcfTag(CfJspPage.java:3696)        at cfaccessmanager2ecfc293914889$funcCHECKADMINROLES.runFunction(/CFIDE/adminapi/accessmanager.cfc:57)        at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.invoke(UDFMethod.java:492)        at coldfusion.filter.SilentFilter.invoke(SilentFilter.java:47)        at coldfusio

Hello All,I have this simple code to show a pop up window using cfwindow:<cfajaximport tags = "cfwindow"><cfwindow initshow="true"  x="200" y="200"> this is cfwindow contents</cfwindow>It supposes to show a pop up window with the words say "this is cfwindow contents".BUT I only see "this is cfwindow contents", there is no frame, no pop up window, and it gives me NO error, I think it has something to do with css.It happens the same thing with ipod, cflayout.It's hard to fix  the issue since it not gives me any error messageI wonder if anyone out there has the same issueThank youHPpham_mn@yahoo.com

If one uses the Help>Check for Updates feature in CFBuilder 2018 beta, it returns an error:No repository found at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/PR/cfb4standalonerepo.Of course, I realize that today there are no such updates for the beta, only 3 days old, but over time people will think to check this, and it seems there ought to be a repo with whatever it needs so that it gets no error, but instead causes this to return the message that there are no updates, like we would get in production CFB deployments between available updates.

Hello All,I have this very simple code to show a pop up window using cfwindow:<cfajaximport tags = "cfwindow"><cfwindow initshow="true"  x="200" y="200"> this is cfwindow contents</cfwindow>It supposes to show a pop up window with the words say "this is cfwindow contents".BUT I only see "this is cfwindow contents", there is no pop up window, and it gives me NO error, I think it has something to do with css.I have spent a day to debug it but I  don't have any luck.Since it not gives me any error messageI wonder if anyone out there has the same issueThank youHPpham_mn@yahoo.com

Hello, all,I've recently been tasked to investigate using Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube APIs on our public-facing page. I have been looking into it, and the Twitter API is very simple - they even have a page that you can use to customise the look and feel of whatever page you wish to grab tweets from and it creates an anchor tag with all the parameters. Very nice.However, I have come across a stumbling block. The Facebook and YouTube APIs involve using IFRAME. On our network, IFRAME is proscribed. Major security issue (primarily cross-site scripting.)Is anyone aware of alternative methods for putting a Facebook or YouTube widget on a site that does NOT use IFRAME?V/r,^ _ ^

I previously used CF10, and had a copy of CFML Reference and Developing ColdFusion 10 Applications​ to look things up in.I'm looking for the CF2016 versions of those documents, and I don't see them anywhere. There's an Archive​ with links to all the older versions, but no equivalent for CF2016. Somehow I did get a file called coldfusion_2016_cfml_ref.pdf but it's a stub, containing web links instead of documentation for tags and functions.Did they give up on producing an actual manual? Do I have to rely on flaky web searches instead of having a fast, reliable, searchable-on-my-own-terms, local copy? Or did I just miss the link to place where the real documentation is kept?

Hello all,I'm a project lead for my company and am currently evaluating switching to ColdFusion Builder 2016 from Dreamweaver as our primary IDE.  As such, I'm having a bit of a learning curve finding some neccessary items for our development and deployment strategy currently in place.  Granted our set up is not the best, and if I would have been around when it was initially designed, would have done it differently, but doing a complete change at this time is not really an option.Our current set up, every developer has a local server configured (we are currently developing in CF9, but I'm working on getting us switched to CF2016, lots of issues to work out with that).  When a developer is working on stuff and ready to test it on a our staging server, they compare files to the remote staging server, merge any changes that other developers may have made, then upload the new version to the staging server.  This is all handled through RDS currently.As part of the upgrad

Howdy,Does CF2016 support local and remote EJB calls to different Application Server(JBOSS) ..? If not can CF configuration be modified to support EJBs ?

Hello,Q1: The api manager installs on port 9000.Would I typically install the manager on port 80 for production use so my subscribers see a url like this?http://api.mydomain.com/API/v1.0/ping?api_key=123456789abc Q2:If we are only going to have 1 API is there anyway to remove the /API from my example so it looks like this:http://api.mydomain.com/v1.0/ping?api_key=123456789abc Q3: Since i am using the API manager would I put my actual API on an internal IP that only the API server has access to?Q4:  If am sending the api key to my api from the api manager, how does my api verify the api key is correct?  Do I need to connect to the redis db to check the api?

Anyone run into issues with their code not working when trying to upgrade from an extremely old version of ColdFusion like CFMX 7 or CF8 to the latest and greatest?Wondering if CF 8 code was easily copied and executed into CF 2016 or CF 11?Just curious.Thanks in advance!

I went into the CFIDE in CF11 to add a new SQL data source and ran into an issue. So, I type in the Data Source Name, select the MS SQL driver, hit the Add button and the form refreshes to blank fields and no data source is created. I know it's supposed to take you to a detail page where you can enter in login info, etc, but it never does. It's almost like the form submits itself back to the page but no processing ever occurs. Things I've tried:Restarting CF.Multiple different browsers.Different computers.Ensured ad blockers were disabled.Ensured CF 11 was up to date.Tried to select different drivers from the dropdown select box just to make sure.The server is CF 11 Dev Edition. I'm not aware of any restrictions on the dev edition that would prevent me from adding a data source. I have 3 active data sources currently and had no problem setting them up.Any ideas? I've wasted 4 hours trying to figure this out already.Thank in advance

I have a page which has been the same since CF7. Recently we moved our application to CF11 to support TLS1.2 and I've since noticed that this one particular bit of code has stopped functioning correctly and it's lead me down a weird road. This is the following code block. It's meant to create date/time ranges for conditional statements and compare the current time against those ranges, performing a certain task.<!--- Set date ---><cfset thisDate = getDate()><!--- Determine what flight they should see. ---><!--- If it's after 9am and before 10pm ---><cfif thisDate GTE CreateDateTime(DatePart("yyyy",thisDate),DatePart("m",thisDate),DatePart("d",thisDate),9,0,0)ANDthisDate LT CreateDateTime(DatePart("yyyy",thisDate),DatePart("m",thisDate),DatePart("d",thisDate),21,0,0)><cfset d1 = "#DatePart('m',thisDate)#/#DatePart('d',thisDate)#/#DatePart('yyyy',thisDate)# 9:00:00"><cfset d2 = "#DatePart('m',thisDate)#/#DatePart('d',thisDate)#/#DatePart('yyyy',this

We recently upgraded to ColdFusion 2016.  When trying to add a datasource, Microsoft Access with Unicode doesn't appear in the available list of drivers.  We have a 32-bit machine and that does appear.  Is this simply how 64-bit works, or am I missing something?
