XStandard - Unable To Process License File
Posted: September 19, 2008 at 5:42 PM by Ben Nadel
As you may know, I use XStandard as my WYSIWYG editor of choice. In my eyes, it just puts the other editors to shame. It has its down sides, but none that make it less that attractive. Anyway, I've been using it happily for a few years now and then out of no where, I started getting this error: Unable to process license file. Please contact your ... read more »

Stripping XML Name Spaces And Node Prefixes From ColdFusion XML Data (To Simplify XPath)
Posted: January 28, 2007 at 1:31 PM by Ben Nadel
I want to start this off saying that I don't know all that much about XML standards. All I know is that sometimes they get in my way. In particular, XML name spaces and tag prefixes can make searching ColdFusion XML objects using XPath very difficult (at least for the layman like me). For instance, take a look at this chunk of XML SOAP request tha... read more »

Creating More ColdFusion Solutions For XStandard Web Services
Posted: September 8, 2006 at 6:29 PM by Ben Nadel
I had a little time to kick around today for research & development so I thought I would take another look at the XStandard WYSIWYG editor.

XStandard Web Services And Random URL Parameters
Posted: July 26, 2006 at 1:16 PM by Ben Nadel
As I posted earlier, I was having some funkiness with XStandard caching data and showing up duplicates of stuff. I had originally thought that since my debugging (my custom XStandard configuration) was turned on, it was some how hamstringing XStandard on LARGE SOAP responses. I found out that this is not the case; after a temporary fix, the weir... read more »

XStandard And Debugging ColdFusion Web Services
Posted: July 22, 2006 at 10:04 AM by Ben Nadel
The other day, I blogged about XStandard and weird caching issues . I think that I was wrong in my diagnosis. During all of this I had debugging turned on in my XStandard ColdFusion web services. In my debugging, it writes the SOAP request and response headers to htm files in a special debug folder. It basically does a CFDump on the XML object cr... read more »
