It’s too bad I don’t have the time to attend the Brussels session of Scotch on the Rocks 2012 today. I enjoyed the 2009 session, and I’m sure that todays program is worthwhile as well.

Strange Error Message With CFHTTP
Posted in ColdFusion, Software Development on 28/03/2012 |
I am testing a bit of ColdFusion 8 code calling a webservice through the CFHTTP tag. What was a REST-call in the past has been reimplemented with SOAP, but that should not be a problem, right? Just adding “<cfhttpparam type=”XML” value=”#SOAPBody#” />” to the call and changing the “GET” into a “POST” should do the trick, but [...]
The Pain Continues (5)…
Posted in ColdFusion, Content Management, Software Development on 16/02/2012 |
You may recall that I’m still running a series of ColdFusion servers at work, running CFMX6.1 and CF8. The CFMX servers remain active as long as I haven’t got Verity working reliably in our CF8 applications. From an functional point of view, the situation is certainly workable. But the server administrators want to replace Win2000 [...]
ColdFusion Tip For Myself: Use CFQUERYPARAM
Posted in ColdFusion, Software Development on 13/12/2011 |
Yes, I need to write this down – it’s too easy not to do it. But it’s good advice to use CFQUERYPARAM to enhance the performance of the Oracle DB (and other DB engines probably as well) … and to simplify your code at the same time. Why the better performance? Because CFQUERYPARAM translates your [...]
Help For Performance Trouble In ColdFusion
Posted in ColdFusion, Java, Software, Software Development on 15/11/2011 |
We’re having a bit of trouble with our ColdFusion applications (intranet apps, to be specific): at seemingly random intervals, the response of the application that is most used “degrades significantly”, to put it mildly. I don’t have a definitive and complete explanation at this time, but I’m certain that there’s a mix of multiple causes [...]
ntlmHTTP (Update 4) – It Works (Of Course)
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development, Web Development on 17/09/2011 |
Just a quick note: I did finally find the time to re-test the ntlmHTTP project for ColdFusion after the installation of .NET 3.5 on our ColdFusion test server (check out my earlier posts on the subject). And yes, ntlmHTTP works – at least for accessing web pages that are protected by “Windows Integrated Authentication”. Next trials will try [...]
‘Runtime’ Does Not Equal ‘Framework’
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development on 06/09/2011 |
My ‘DotnetRuntimeEnvironment’ component for ColdFusion managed to surprise me: after installing the .NET framework 3.5 the ‘GetSystemVersion()‘ method still returned ‘2.0.50727‘, rather than the ‘3.5‘ or so I expected. It took some digging to find a decent explanation, but the reason appears to be mundane (at least for .NET experts): my component actually returns the [...]
A Better ‘DotnetRuntimeEnvironment’ Component in CFML
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development on 01/09/2011 |
I have been testing the ‘DotnetRuntimeEnvironment’ component I wrote about a week ago. Doing so also pointed to a better, more robust version. Here it is (the » symbol again means you should put what follows on the preceding line): <cfcomponent name=”DotnetRuntimeEnvironment” > <cfset VARIABLES.noruntime = “NORUNTIME” /> <cfset init() /> <cffunction name=”init” access=”private” returntype=”void” [...]
The Future Of ColdFusion Is Called Zeus…
Posted in ColdFusion, Software, Web Development on 25/08/2011 |
Kevin Benore has attended a sneak preview of Zeus aka CF 10, and he has published a list of features of the next version of ColdFusion. I hope the final release (when?) will contain all items mentioned here (and more, of course). For me, the replacement of JRun by Tomcat and better WebService support are [...]
ntlmHTTP Update (3) – How To Detect The DotNet Version In ColdFusion
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development, Web Development on 24/08/2011 | 1 Comment »
I have had a bit of trouble to get ntmlHTTP running correctly on our servers. In response to my ticket on RiaForge, Nick Harvey clarified the dependence of the DLL on .NET version 3.5 (or higher, I suppose). I’m not a Windows nor a .NET specialist, and I don’t have many rights on the servers [...]
ntlmHTTP Update (2)
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development, Web Development on 11/08/2011 |
We have been trying out the 0.2 version of the ntlmHTTP project for ColdFusion, in order to see if we could call the SharePoint webservices. Unfortunately, POSTing a SOAP request never works: we always end up with a nasty error message for any of the new methods. Here’s a sample message: System.MissingMethodException: Could not find [...]
ntlmHTTP Update
Posted in .NET, ColdFusion, Software Development, Web Development on 09/08/2011 |
At work, we have tried the initial version of the ntlmhttp project on RiaForge (see my post from last week as well). We’re (still!) on CF8, installed in a minimal way, so I had to install the .NET integration layer first. But that is fairly simple: Download and install the Download ColdFusion 8 .NET Integration Service Installer (EXE, [...]
Good To Know
Posted in ColdFusion on 07/08/2011 |
It’s good to know I’m not the only one struggling with the attribute names of the CFLOOP tag – just check http://www.markdrew.co.uk/blog/post.cfm/cfloop-rant to read how Mark Drew thinks about CFLOOP ;-)
RiaForge To The Rescue?
Posted in ColdFusion, Software Development, Web Development on 04/08/2011 |
It shouldn’t come as a surprise when I say that web services are becoming quite important, even within (larger) companies. My problem with using web services at work can be summarized in a single statement: my ColdFusion servers do not speak the “Integrated Windows Authentication” required by almost all the Windows-servers in our corporate network, [...]
CFUG Belgium Meeting Of May 31st
Posted in ColdFusion, Content Management, Mobile Computing, Software, Technology on 04/06/2011 |
Here’s my feedback on the May 31 CFUB Belgium meeting. The first presentation was given by Sally Jenkinson: “Building Dynamic mobile Applications with ColdFusion“. Not that the presentation was bad in itself, but I expected more: more on ColdFusion, to be specific. If you name a product in the title of a presentation, please say [...]
