  @Ray - I did change to using url: syntax, and returning a manually created json packet, and everything is working great. Thank you for your sage advice!... read more »

• Maintaining ColdFusion Query Data Type Integrity Throughout The Serialization Life Cycle

  @Ray - I meant, but clearly did not very well convey, that according to the CF docs, there seems to be a way to return a manually created json packet from a CFC bind. Unfortunately I can't try right now, but if I set the returnFormat on the cfc function to plain, is that ignored by CF and... read more »

  Thank you @Ray, I will look into that. At the same time, according to this http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=ajaxdata_03.html it l... read more »

• Maintaining ColdFusion Query Data Type Integrity Throughout The Serialization Life Cycle

  @Ray and @Ben - Thank you both for your suggestions. I took a look at the page and attempted to implement Gary F's method for manually creating the json response. Unfortunately, cf balks, telling me that "Bind failed for select box patientfind, bind value is not a 2D array or valid se... read more »

  I know this is slightly off topic, but it does have to do with data typing during serialization/deserialization. I am using the bind attribute on a cfselect field. From what I understand, CF automatically performs a serialization and deserialization (into and out of json) for you when using... read more »

• Converting A ColdFusion Query To CSV Using QueryToCSV()

  Posted on Jun 8, 2010 at 5:07 PM

  For several years now, I have been using a solution similar to Misha's for creating a CSV file from a dynamic list of fields (concatenating all the columns in a sql query). Unfortunately, some of the list of fields have become very large (300+ columns) and I am getting a SQL server error "... read more »

• ColdFusion Path Usage And Manipulation Overview

  Ben - Thanks for you response. I am using CF8 and have setup an application specific mapping to the root of my app. Thank you for the suggestion. So now I can use cfmodule and call the custom tag with an absolute path "/app/custom_tags/my_custom_tag.cfm". It seems to be working like a char... read more »

• ColdFusion Path Usage And Manipulation Overview

  I hope this is not off topic, but one thing that I have not been able to get my arms around is the best practice for storing and accessing custom tags when you can't put them in the cf custom tag folder. Ideally, I could have a custom tag folder in my application that would work the same w... read more »
