specified CFC could not be found

Report · Nov 12, 2012

Googled this for several hours, hope I'm missing the obvious as usual...

I'm using CF9 and IIS7. Followed/tailored simple autosuggest code from Ben Forta.

Came up with HTML:

and a CFC named employer.cfc in the current template folder:

Select lname

From tdLicense

Order By lname

</cfquery>

</cfloop>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

The query runs fine in a test cfm file.

Any help appreciated.

I wonder if the Coldfusion CSS file is not being mapped correctly or something??? (more straw grasping...)

Check. Are you getting any 404s on your network panel in Firebug when you a) request the page; b) trigger the autosuggest?

No, no errors since the virtual drive mapping was entered.

Is that <cfform> code the entirety of the code in test.cfm, or is there anything else that could be creating mark-up in there too? I'm wondering if JS is not finding the form for some reason? This is unlikely, that said.

Yes, just three lines of code in the file. I have a style sheet that loads into is but it's very simple. Here's the client source:

Well, that's ugly. Does this message board have a tag to place source code into? I cen edit that posting and remove the source code if needed...

Report · Nov 16, 2012

https://gist.github.com/ or http://pastebin.com/ are better for posting code, rather than putting it inline here. I've never had problems posting code inline here, but a lot of people seem to have theirs all munged up whenever they try. I can only guess some browsers don't do what they're told, or something. Either way, for that amount of code, inline is NOT the place for it.

At least, the colours help break the monotony. The scripts appear to be all there.

We've been dealing with mapped paths and virtual directories, so I wondered whether the response is being posted to a different URL address. Let's verify.

Open the form page. Open the Firebug console. 'Clear' the console. Now, enter Sm in the form field. The action of that AJAX call should appear on the console. (More actions may appear when you click the mouse elsewhere). Click on the + sign of the topmost line to expand it. Click on the 'Headers'. What is the 'Referer'?

Added edit: After you type Sm in the form field, just one and only one action should appear in the Firebug console. If 2 or more appear, do let us know. It will mean some other request has overriden the autosuggest request.

There are two actions,

OK, there is one action, I just entered teh S, before one action was for the S and teh second was for the SM. Looks like it was firing on each keyup

I think we are finally there. The URL variables CFID and CFToken are likely messing up the AJAX calls.

Why are you passing them as query string anyway? If you correctly enable session management, then you shouldn't have to pass CFID and CFToken from one page to the next.

I hope the following will be the last test. This is to verify whether we will see the autosuggest list if there are no session variables in the URL.

Give the directory .../nomenu/ its own Application file, as defined below. This is a basic file, meant to expose the minimum required session functionality. Putting it in the nomenu directory makes it to intercept any other Application file you may have.

Content of /Binkley/trackdata/nomenu/Application.cfm :

<cfapplication name="autosuggest_test"

sessionmanagement="Yes"

setclientcookies="Yes"

sessiontimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)#"

applicationtimeout="#createTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#">

Open the URL http://[my domain]/Binkley/trackdata/nomenu/test.cfm in the browser (that is, without any query string). Fill in the autosuggest form field. What do you get?

Report · Nov 19, 2012

That fixed it!!

The only fidderence in my cfapp rag adn the one you suggest here is I didn't have setclientcookies="Yes".

Thank you so much!

I would therefore expect you to see the autosuggestion list when you type S in the Employer field. Oh, why does it return full names? Did you change the query?

Full name: That's how the data is stored, it's a point of sale database, populated from ID card scans.

OK. And what did you type to get the above response? The letter S?

Report · Nov 15, 2012

I typed sm for this response , I have marrows=5 in the cfquery tag just to shorten things up for testing.

Report · Nov 15, 2012

Of course I had a response for s as well, it too had no errors. I posted the response from sm.

If your search is case sensitive, that would explain why you are not getting results.
