Hello,I'm in the middle of a project that is using AJAX and remote CFC's to allow data from the client side to interact with the server. This is an add-on for an existing application and am having a bit of difficulty figuring out the best way to secure a remote CFC. My jQuery makes the call to the CFC and returns the data as expected, but anyone can call the CFC directly with the right parameters and have the data returned.I had tried a scenario where the CFC queries my the authentication log in my database and checks for a current login based on a user ID, however I've figured out the hard way that you can't nest a second query inside of a single function. Here's my code:<cffunction name="getSubCategoryAID" access="remote" returntype="query" returnformat="JSON" >            <cfargument name="userID" type="numeric" required="true">                <cfque

I need to let user enter the new value does not exist in the list and add a new record for the user using CFSELECT.Does CFSELECT have the option to let user to enter a data not in the list?Your help and information is great appreciated,regards,Iccsi,

I have a CFSELECT like following and I need sometime sort by MyCode and sometime sort by MyNamelike following code<cfif (isDefined("form.MyID") AND form.MyID EQ MySP.MyID)>selected="selected"</cfif>>#MySP.MyCode# - #MySP.MyName#</option>or<cfif (isDefined("form.MyID") AND form.MyID EQ MySP.MyID)>selected="selected"</cfif>>#MySP.MyName# - #MySP.MyName#</option>I need switch MyName and MyCode and change sort order at run time.Are there any place I can use CFIF to compare the condition to change?Your help and information is great appreciated,regards,Iccsi, <cfselect name="MyList" id="myList" >  <option value=""> </option>  <cfoutput query="MySP">         <option value="#MySP.MyID#"          <cfif (isDefined("form.MyID") AND form.MyID EQ MySP.MyID)>selected="selected"</cfif>>#MySP.MyCode# - #MySP.MyName#</optio

I have deployed two test sites, using Adobe's own example code for application based user security, copied in its entirety from the Adobe website. One test site is in ColdFusion 8, one is ColdFusion 10. The code and databases are identical on both sites. I added cfdump output to monitor session variables and login status as they are set.Test Site ColdFusion 8: http://cf8loginadobe.cimhost.com/securitytest.cfmTest Site ColdFusion 10: http://cf10loginadobe.cimhost.com/securitytest.cfmLogging in using a user of "Bob" and password of "secret" demonstrates the failure in CF10. Initially it appears login was successful, but note that the cfdump of the session does not show a cfauthorization_orders value in CF10, where in CF8 the value is present.In CF8 subsequent visits to the same URL after login correctly retain the logged in user status and do not present the login form. In CF10, no session was actually created for the user, and therefore subsequent visits to the same URL prompt for login

This code excutes on Coldfusion 10... However, Why does it not excute on Coldfusion 8.The line in red is where it fails.<cfscript>if (IsDefined("FORM.fName") AND IsDefined("FORM.lName") AND IsDefined("FORM.email") AND IsDefined("FORM.lms") AND IsDefined("FORM.updated_lms")) {if (FORM.fName NEQ "" AND FORM.lName NEQ "" AND FORM.email NEQ "" AND FORM.lms NEQ "" AND FORM.updated_lms NEQ "") {if (IsNumeric(FORM.lms) AND IsNumeric(FORM.updated_lms)) {  //If LMS Numbers are EQUAL THEN UPDATE OTHERWISE check to see if new LMS Number exists IF NOT THEN UPDATE   if (FORM.lms EQ FORM.updated_lms) {           try {            runquery = updateTraineeUser();          } catch(any excpt) {            WriteOutput("<p class=""error"">The application was unable to perform a required o

Hi there,I need to pass the companyId into the cfc but i keep gettting an error, does any know?- thanksYou cannot specify more arguments to a CFC function than it declares.

I need to get a java.util.Calendar object for a webservice.Using CreateObject("java", "coldfusion.util.DateUtils").getCalendar(Now()) works fantastic, except I have to allow access to internal ColdFusion Java components, which I'd prefer not to do.Is there an easy alternative?

Hi,I installed CF10 on mac using this link:http://iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2013/2/27/Installing-ColdFusion-10-on-OSX-108-Mountain-LionThe CF server is working.I was fine until the step 8 on OSX Sites. I can see fine the file from the step 7 "http://localhost/~username/index.htm", means that apache also is working fine.Why I cannot see the current time from "http://localhost/~username/index.cfm"? I only see the content of the file <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>Any ideas how to fix or test this?I will install flash builder 4.7 after to work with CF10.Thanks

I have a script that is pulling in data from an excel document using cfspreedsheet, performing data checks, and inserting the data into the appropriate tables. Each XLS document only has about 1000 records. The scripts are wrapped in a CFTransaction tag to ensure rollback if the script errors.When I run these scripts they will succeed if I'm only importing around 400 records or less. If I try to import any more than that I receive a 500 server error from IIS. I'm guessing that this is some sort of timeout issue. In order to try and force the success of the script, I upped the requesttimeout setting to 900000. This did not solve the problem.Can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot and/or fix this problem?<cfsetting                    requesttimeout="900000"                    showdebugoutput="true"&

Ok, I give up. So soon? So I am using cflayout, cflayoutarea stuff.  And in my code I have a bug.  But I can't find it. Why?  Because CF10 is not showing it to me.  It is hidden.  Normally when outside a cflayout (or sometimes in one) instead of getting the huge usual error listing all over your screen, instead I get a sort of pop up window ... Error retriving markup for element "element name": and the element name is the tab ... I am using nested cflayouts.  enable debugging by adding cfdebug to the URL.  When I do that all I get is a red line telling me nothing else. How does one determine what the problem is under such a scenario?

Long story short, we are installing Groupwise WebAccess on our ColdFusion 10 web server to offer webmail, and it is hard-coded to use the jakarta directory for it's own ISAPI_redirect.dll.  ColdFusion was installed and integrated into IIS 7.5 rather than set to run standalone.I'm not sure if the underlying Tomcat services that ColdFusion installs are being utilized, but I know that it requires the jakarta folder to run CF.  So is it possible to configure somewhere in CF's files a different name of this virtual directory?  I could create a cf-jakarta and map it to CF's ISAPI_redirect.dll file and this should not conflict with WebAccess' need for it's own ISAPI_redirect.dll.

I am currently trying to learn CF10, Originally I installed the standalone developer edition, recently I decided to go ahead with the enterprise edition. My issue is that when I go to system info to update my license it applies it & saves but yet it still shows developer edition.I also tried a clean install, I still got no results.Am I missing some setting or critical step that needs to be done in order to get it in enterprise mode? I already validated and registered my license so I know that is ruled out. Any ideas? suggestions? I am in dire straits over this

I'm currently running ColdFusion Version 8. we are in the process of purchasing "Adobe Coldfusion Enterprise 10 Platinum Annual Support Subscription" will that cover the upgrades and updates to the latest version of ColdFusion?

We are getting aCould not initialize class coldfusion.monitor.event.RequestMonitorEventProcessor error. We cannot access the CF Administrator either. We are running CF 9.0 Standard Edition on Windows 2003. Trace below.It seems that CF is trying to start a service that is not enabled for the Standard Edition. My questions:1. Is my hunch above correct?2. Is there a way to remedy this issue without accessing the CF Administrator?Thanks all!Error and trace:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class coldfusion.monitor.event.RequestMonitorEventProcessor at coldfusion.monitor.event.MonitoringServletFilter.doFilter(MonitoringServletFilter.java:38) at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapFilter.doFilter(BootstrapFilter.java:46) at jrun.servlet.FilterChain.doFilter(FilterChain.java:94) at jrun.servlet.FilterChain.service(FilterChain.java:101) at jrun.servlet.ServletInvoker.invoke(ServletInvoker.java:106) at jrun.servlet.JRunInvokerChain.invokeNext(JRunInvokerChain.java:42) at jrun.servl
