  I lie. getPageContext().getOut().getString() didn't return me anything :( Elliot's api is no longer web accessible - any one have a copy?... read more »

  Great stuff re the CFHtmlHead stuff. getPageContext().getOut().getString() did what I wanted (which was to get all content including any htmlhead stuff). Thanks... read more »

• Generating ColdFusion Class Methods On The Fly In A Wrapper Class

  Posted on Apr 7, 2008 at 11:42 AM

  Hi Ben, nice work. I realise this post is over a year old but I have just done what you did back then (write something like this to discover people are doing similar things everywhere)! My implementation is a little different. I wanted a base class that does the wrapping on itself. This way... read more »

• Creating ColdFusion Components In Parent Directories (From Sub Directories) Without Mapped Paths

  Oh lol, just noticed it was Ben that posted that - I guess I don't need to extol the virtues of ColdSpring to ya! :blushes:... read more »

• Creating ColdFusion Components In Parent Directories (From Sub Directories) Without Mapped Paths

  Yeh, it took me about 10 minutes of going through the ColdSpring tutorial to switch to using it to generate my components. At its most basic level it is like your udfs and you can very quickly just use it at that level. But then it offers so much more... :) Higly recommended, Do... read more »

• Creating ColdFusion Components In Parent Directories (From Sub Directories) Without Mapped Paths

  @Ben, my sentiment exactly. If someone makes a typo in setting up a mapping for one of our govornment projects it can take 5days+ for them to resolve it! So my philosophy is to give them as little to do as possible... Anyways, we are talking the same talk ;)... read more »

• Creating ColdFusion Components In Parent Directories (From Sub Directories) Without Mapped Paths

  Like it. I remember putting something like this to the CFDev list sometime ago and getting a "why bother, just use mappings" response. Our company too uses shared hosting by other companies and portability was my motivation. On another note, my udf used cfinvoke and allowed you to s... read more »

• Using ColdFusion Query's Underlying Java Methods For Query Manipulation And Logic

  Posted on Jun 29, 2007 at 5:59 AM

  I'm an even bigger eejit, that won't work - must loop backwards: <cfscript> qMyQuery.AfterLast(); while(qMyQry.Previous()) { if(qMyQry.GetString(sColName) EQ sCondition) qMyQry.RemoveRows(javacast('int',qMyQry.getRow() -1), javacast('int',1)); } <... read more »

• Using ColdFusion Query's Underlying Java Methods For Query Manipulation And Logic

  Posted on Jun 29, 2007 at 5:55 AM

  I'm an eejit, this is far better: <cfscript> while(qMyQry.Next()) { if(qMyQry.GetString(sColName) EQ sCondition) qMyQry.RemoveRows(javacast('int',qMyQry.getRow() -1), javacast('int',1)); } </cfscript>... read more »

• Using ColdFusion Query's Underlying Java Methods For Query Manipulation And Logic

  Posted on Jun 28, 2007 at 2:32 PM

  Great info and code dude, thanks. I've always found looping queries in cfscript a bit clunky, with this info however, you can do something like this: <cfscript> qMyQry.afterLast(); do { qMyQry.previous(); // condition met...... read more »
