Looking for books or other references that discuss actually "how" to write a code coverage tool in Java; some of the various techniques or tricks - source vs. byte code instrumentation. This is for a scripting language that generates java byte code under the hood. ...
I'm using ClodFusion(sic) to populate a template that includes HTML lists (<ul>'s). Most of these aren't that long, but a few have ridiculously long lengths and could really stand to be in 2-3 columns. Is there an HTML, ColdFusion or perhaps JavaScript (I have jQuery available) way to do this easily? It's not worth some over-complicat...
I'm using ColdFusion to return a result set from a SQL database and turn it into a list. I need some way to generate an Alphabetical Navigation bar for that list. I have ColdFusion and the jQuery library available. I'm looking to generate something like this: A | B | C | ... A A B B B C D Where clicking on one of the letters ...
I am trying to implement NTLM authentication on one of our internal sites and everything is working. The one piece of the puzzle I do not have is how to take the information from NTLM and authenticate with Active Directory. There is a good description of NTLM and the encryption used for the passwords, which I used to implement this, but...
I have a need to convert images from CMYK to RGB - not necessarily back again, but hey, if it can be done... With the release of ColdFusion 8, we got the CFImage tag, but it doesn't support this conversion; and nor does Image.cfc, or Alagad's Image Component. However, it should be possible in Java; which we can leverage through CF. For...
Been going over my predecessor's code and see usage of the "request" scope frequently. What is the appropriate usage of this scope? ...
I'm creating PDFs on-demand with ColdFusion's CFDocument tag, like so: <cfdocument format="PDF" filename="#attributes.fileName#" overwrite="true"> <cfdocumentitem type="footer"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td align="left"><font face="Tahoma" color="black"><strong>My Client'...
Using CFML (ColdFusion Markup Langauge, aka ColdFusion), how can you compare if two single dimension arrays are the same? ...
I am trying to be a "good" programmer and have unit tests for my ColdFusion application but haven't been able to find a code coverage tool that can tie into the test that I'm using. For those of you who do unit tests on your ColdFusion code, how have you approached this problem? ...
I have been tasked with going through a number of ColdFusion sites that have recently been the subject of a rather nasty SQL Injection attack. Basically my work involves adding <cfqueryparam> tags to all of the inline sql. For the most part I've got it down, but can anybody tell me how to use cfqueryparam with the LIKE operator? If my...
I'm trying to consume a SharePoint webservice from Coldfusion via cfinvoke('cause I don't want to deal with(read parse) the SOAP response itself). The soap response includes a byte-order-mark character(BOM), which produces the following exception in CF: "Cannot perform web service invocation GetList. The fault returned when invoking the...
As someone who has spent around 10 years programming web applications with Adobe's ColdFusion, I have decided to add ASP.NET as a string to my bow. For someone who has spent so long with CF and the underlying Java, ASP.NET seems a little alien to me. How should I go about getting up to speed with ASP.NET so that I can be truly dangerou...
In a ColdFusion Component (CFC), is it necessary to use fully qualified names for variables-scoped variables? Am I going to get myself into trouble if I change this: <cfcomponent> <cfset variables.foo = "a private instance variable"> <cffunction name = "doSomething"> <cfset var bar = "a function local variable"> <cfr...
I have inherited a large legacy coldfusion app. There are hundreds of <cfquery>some sql here #variable#</cfquery> statements that need to be parameterized along the lines of: <cfquery> some sql here <cfqueryparam value="#variable#"/> </cfquery> How can I go about adding parameterization programatically? I have thought about writing so...
hey all, I'm using the JFrame plugin with jquery 1.2.6. It works fine in FF3, however it won't display the requested pages in IE 7 the jquery library and the JFrame plugin are called in the included header.cfm page code is here (note: ignore the ColdFusion calls, I don't think they're generating the problem) http://cfm.pastebin.com/...
This should be simple. I'm trying to import data from Access into SQL Server. I don't have direct access to the SQL Server database - it's on GoDaddy and they only allow web access. So I can't use the Management Studio tools, or other third-party Access upsizing programs that require remote access to the database. I wrote a query on the...
I would like to turn the HTML generated by my CFM page into a PDF, and have the user prompted with the standard "Save As" prompt when navigating to my page. ...
I'm considering Altova MapForce (or something similar) to produce either XSLT and/or a Java or C# class to do the translation. Today, we pull data right out of the database and manually build an XML string that we post to a webservice. Should it be db -> (internal)XML -> XSLT -> (External)XML? What do you folks do out there in the wide...
Hi, I am trying to use the Google Maps API in a Coldfusion template that is a border type cflayoutarea container. However the map simply doesn't show up: <cfif isdefined("url.lat")> <cfset lat="#url.lat#"> <cfset lng="#url.lng#"> </cfif> <head> <script src= "http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;ke...
For example I want to be able to programatically hit a line of code like the following where the function name is dynamically assigned without using Evaluate(). The code below of course doesn't work but represents what I would like to do. application.obj[funcName](argumentCollection=params) The only way I can find to call a function d...
