There are 3 changes from CFB2 to CFB3 that are pretty annoying and I am wondering if anyone has a fix?Word-wrap has seemed to have disappeared. It is no longer in preferences in the same place, nor any other that I can find? I have found an eclipse plugin to take care of this for now, but wondering if there is an official way to do this within CFB3 or was this an Aptana feature that Adobe decided not to implement in their rewrite? I would think word-wrap to be pretty basic functionality in an editor...In Outline View I always set the filter to CFFUNCTION only. When using cfscript based components, the outline view is polluted by any javadoc comments you may have. There is a new toggle button available: "Show Function Only" but it defaults to off and so you continually need to click this button for every cfc you have open to hide the mis-parsed comment detritus. Very annoying. There must be a way to either remove these comments altogether or at least have that toggle feature stick to on

Hello,McAfee Scan Alert is reporting that Tomcat version 7.0.23.0 is not pci compliant.We're on CF10 and just updated to update 12.We've read in another thread that Tomcat is specialized for CF and thatCF should be updating Tomcat as needed.The complete Scan Alert warning is:Scan indicates that you are using a vulnerable version of apache tomcat web server. The version of tomcat deployed on this web server may be outdated and vulnerable to a host of issues (including but not limited to) - denial of service attacks - directory traversal - default admin passwords - execution of code by arbitrary file uploads - bypassing of access restrictions - cross-site scripting - session fixation - bypass of CSRF prevention filterThanks in advance,-Mike

Hi,I have this strange query of queries result that could be a bug in CF11.  The result is fine in CF10.Basically, I have 2 queries, qrA and qrB.  I do a join of the two in joinQr, after which I do a query of qrA.  Since I didn't alter qrA in any way, I would expect newQrA to give me the same result as qrA.  However it only gives me one row ("D").  Now, here's the strange thing:  If I start off qrA with the letters in ascending order ["A", "B", "C", "D"], then newQrA gives me the right result. <cfset qrA = queryNew("")> <cfset queryAddColumn( qrA, "size", "varchar", [ "D", "A", "B", "C" ] )> <cfset qrB = queryNew("")> <cfset queryAddColumn( qrB, "size", "varchar", [ "A" ] )> <cfset queryAddColumn( qrB, "quantity", "integer", [ 0 ] )> <cfquery name="joinQr" dbtype="query">     select qrA.*, qrB.quantity     from qrA, qrB     where qrA.size = qrB.size </cfquery> <cf

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine. In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."Then finally:"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash. What could be the issue?-Phil

Hi, In CB3 I just noticed that Javascript code assist does not assist locally created parameters and functions! Is there a fix for this or do I download Aptana plugin? Platform:Windows 8.1 x64 EnterpriseColdfusion Builder 3 (Build 290048)Regards Bert.

I'm using a developer install of ColdFusion 11. I set up the following page at http://localhost:8500/test/index.cfm: <cfthrow type="application" message="This is an error"> When I visit that page, the HTTP status code returned is 500, as expected.I then created the following page at http://localhost:8500/error.cfm: <p>Sorry! That was an error.</p> If I set the site-wide error handler in the CF Admin to /error.cfm and visit /test/index.cfm, the HTTP status code returned is 200 OK.This seems weird to me. It looks like I can include the following in the error.cfm file to send an error code instead: <cfheader statuscode="500" statustext="Server Error"> Does anyone see that as problematic? Is there a reason why the site-wide error handler should return 200 OK?

Hello,ColdFusion 10 (Enterprise) and Oracle 11g were configured and was working well. However recently Oracle 11gR2 was upgraded to version 12c, and this broke many things. Mainly, the data source connections that were setup in CF Admin page to query databases on Oracle does not work any more.Is there any action required from our side to update anything so that I can continue querying Oracle databases on 12g, as we used to do earlier on 11gR2? We use JDBC driver to connect.Or does Adobe CF10 not support Oracle 12g at all, and require an update to a new CF version?Thanks,Arun

I installed CF 11 on a Windows 2008 R2 server as a fresh install on IIS7.I used the "The Coldfusion 11 Lockdown Guide" which specifies to use 'Request Filtering' on page 17.  It also states:IMPORTANT: As of 4/10/14 in the latest CF11 build request filtering is not working or urls handled by Coldfusion.  This needs to be fixed.The the IIS portion of the guide is dependent upon the 'Request Filtering' working.  Mine did not work either.So, if you follow the steps your CF sites will not work, (neither will the administrator).When can we expect this to be fixed?  Shouldn't the statement above be put on page 1 of the guide!  A lot of work to get to the page only to find out it will fail.Has anyone come up with a fix or workaround for this?

I've decided to convert an old app from using Application.cfm to Application.cfc, mainly because I want to use onRequestStart and the like, and I can't get them to initialize in Application.cfm.But for some reason, this Application.cfc file causes my pages to come up blank.  I can't for the life of me figure out why, since it's copied from an app that works perfectly fine. <cfcomponent>     <cfset this.name = "myapp">     <cfset this.sessionManagement = true>     <cfset this.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,2,0,0)>     <cfset this.loginStorage="session">     <cfset this.scriptProtect = true>     <cfset this.setclientcookies = false>     <cffunction name="onApplicationStart">         <cfset application.dsource = "mydsn">         <cfset application.a

I'm trying to read in a pdf form, complete the fields and send it to the user's browser. However I approach it, whenever I use a cfpdf type of tag, I get the error message "Platform, Locale, and Platform Name must not be null".For example the following flags an error on the cfpdfformparam line:<cfpdfform action="populate" source="Order Acknowledgement Form4.pdf">     <cfpdfformparam name="Text1" value="Test Data"> </cfpdfform>What am I doing wrong?Using CF9.01 Developer edition. The PDF was created in Acrobat X from a Word file.The following works and lists the form field, so I'm guessing that it's not a problem with the source file.<cfpdfform source="Order Acknowledgement Form4.pdf" result="resultStruct" action="read"/><cfdump var="#resultStruct#">

In ColdFusion we can create DSN in 2 ways. Either we can select the driver for the specific database or we can use the Other as the driver and we can create the DSN by specifying the connection string. Which is the best way in terms of the performance for apps. Any idea.Here I am looking to create the DSN to SQL Server 2012 and I have create 2 DSN's, one with SQL Server  driver and one with other and mentioned the connection string.  I don't see any difference as of now. Please advise which one to user.

I was just given a security scan result for one of our web apps that showed two problems:Missing HttpOnly Attribute in Session CookieMissing Secure Attribute in Encrypted Session (SSL) CookieThe interesting thing is that I have both client and domain cookies set to "No" in my Application.cfm file (this is an old application that uses CF8.  Maybe I don't understand the concept?I found a piece of code that's supposed to secure cookies: <cfif NOT IsDefined("cookie.cfid") OR NOT IsDefined("cookie.cftoken") OR cookie.cftoken IS NOT session.CFToken>    <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#session.CFID#;path=/;HTTPOnly">    <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#session.CFTOKEN#;path=/;HTTPOnly"> </cfif> But I get session.cfid and session.cftoken undefined errors.  Before I wrack my brain on something I obviously don't get, can someone steer me in the right direction?Thanks in advance!

Does any able to connect it. do i need to install any JDBC drivers for this to success.Here I am using ColdFusion 9 enterprise edition.ThanksSrinivas

In CF11 administrator site, I have set a timeout value of 15000 seconds. However the jobs has timeout after 960 seconds (value set in the settings page).Is this attribute deprecated in CF11 ?As a workaround, I have added a cfsetting in the page itself.Thanks,Pierre.

My company owns three licenses of the (incredibly old) V5 ColdFusion server license.  We want to move the product to a new server group but are unable to obtain the media to install it on the new servers.  I had asked Adobe if they could provide it but the oldest available was V7.  Does anyone have any ideas on ways we can locate the media so we can move to our new servers?  Our last ditch option is to buy new and consider the old licenses worthless.

We upgraded to ColdFusion 10 in April 2013.  It has been running great until the past week or so.  Now, at various times, the servers are showing the Error 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable screen.  We have 5 servers that are load balanced and are using CF10 Standard.  We are in a 32-bit environment on virtual servers.  We are running Windows Server 2003 with 4GB RAM.  Our traffic has not really changed and nothing has changed for ColdFusion on the servers.I would appreciate any assistance that anyone could lend.Thanks!

My Dept. has just bought CF10 and I'm finally updating my existing web app to CF10 from CF8. My First Problem with CF10 is using session variables.When using the lower version of CF (since CF 4 to 😎 I have never had any problem setting up session variables and getting or using these variables in other pages after a successful login but with CF 10 it seems setting session variables and using them in other pages are a major problems. I'm not sure where have I done wrong in the codes.First I'm setting the session in my Application.cfc This way:<cfcomponent displayname="Application" output="true">  <cfset THIS.Name ="MyNewApp"/>  <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0) />  <cfset THIS.SessionManagement ="YES"/>  <cfset THIS.SessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 20, 0 ) />  <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false /><cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false"&

Hi Everyone,Has anyone built an event gateway or other cfc into Facebook chat. I want to send messages form my facebook app into facebook chat using CF and from my reading it appears that what I want is an event gateway. I really don't know much about XMPP so any and all help is appreciated. ThanksMark

GreetingsCan anyone share the code one one put within the application.cfm to password-protect all the files in that directory?The UN & PW are stored in a DB - of course I could create a session_ID and protect each page individually, which I have been doing for years, but in this case, the pages are being loaded using a half-*ss CMS and the users, other than saving files as .cfm, will not be responsible to leave the code on each page.In the DB, the user name is subscriber_email, the password is subscriber_password.Thanks for any help.

Hi chaps,I've decided it's about time I started using cfform (3 mins in and I've already hit my first stumbling block!)I want to have an autosuggest text input for users to choose a city. In my db I have locationnames and locationids. eglocationid   |   locationname----------------------------------------1                   London2                   New York3                   ParisetcThe user will start to type the locationame - I want autosuggest to show locationanames that match, but when they submit the form I actually want the locationid to be passed..How on earth do I do this with cfform?Thanks very much for any help you can offer.Nick

I am reviewing the ColdFusion Web Connector settings in workers.properties to hopefully address a sporadic response time issue.I've been advised to inspect the output from the metrics.log file (CF Admin > Debugging & Logging > Debug Output Settings > Enable Metric Logging) and use this to inform the adjustments to the settings max_reuse_connections, connection_pool_size and connection_pool_timeout.My question is: How do I interpret the metrics.log output to help with the choice of setting values? Is there any documentation that can guide me?Examples from over a 120 hour period:95% of entries -"Information","scheduler-2","06/16/14","08:09:04",,"Max threads: 150 Current thread count: 4 Current thread busy: 0 Max processing time: 83425 Request count: 9072 Error count: 72 Bytes received: 1649 Bytes sent: 22768583 Free memory: 124252584 Total memory: 1055326208 Active Sessions: 1396"Occurred once -"Information","scheduler-2","06/13/14","14:20:22",,"Max threads: 150 Current thre
