I have a Windows 2003 server with CF 8.01 with the 8.01
cumulative hotfix installed. We've been running off the server in a
production environment for several months without issue. Yesterday
application we run annually went live for this year. This is the
first time this particular application has run on CF8 in a
production environment. After maybe an hour or so any CFQUERY that
had the CACHEDWITHIN parameter set (even if it was set to 0)
started generating null pointer exceptions. This wasn't restricted
to just the new application. ALL pages running on our CF8 server
that had cached queries were getting this error. I restarted the
CF8 service, everything was fine for another hour or so, then the
same thing happened again.
Some quick searching turned up
kb402583
which speaks of corrupt table errors and was apparently patched.
But taking this as a possibly related, I went and removed all the
cachedwithin parameters from all CFQUERY tags in the new
application that went live yesterday. I restarted the CF service
and it's been running smooth since.
Does ColdFusion 8.01 still have a problem with cached
queries? It would appear so. Is there a bug report or a kb article
or something with more information on this? Has anyone else
experienced this? Thanks.
