• ColdFusion Application.cfc Tutorial And Application.cfc Reference

  Posted on Aug 25, 2012 at 9:26 AM

  @Peter: No. But - if you are doing some logic in onRequestStart for every request, you could add a simple CFIF to check if the page is the one you want to exclude and skip the logic. Also, you can put the file in a subdirectory and put in an empty App.cfc file. It will run, but do nothing.... read more »

• ColdFusion Application.cfc Tutorial And Application.cfc Reference

  Posted on Apr 28, 2012 at 9:11 AM

  If you added that line _after_ the session started, then it won't work. You have a session, CF isn't going to rerun onSessionStart. If you have done that, you can add a call to onSessionStart in onRequestStart, or just rename the application temporarily.... read more »

• ColdFusion 10 - Script vs. Tags And My Coding Methodology

  Posted on Mar 30, 2012 at 5:31 PM

  Don't forget that for especially complex SQL you can - and I'm not saying this is necessarily a good idea - switch back to tag based syntax by using an include. Ie, include a tag based file into a script based file. I did that in my last job with a SQL script that was way too huge to convert.... read more »

  I can definitely see how queries aren't as simple, but, having done SQL in JavaScript and other languages, I'd say it is pretty similar. (Not horrible, just not quite as simple as a tag.)... read more »

  I never said we don't need it. My issue is with your statement that it can't be done. (Which you have retracted.) Should it be part of the language - or available via some setting? Perhaps. As with all things, the CF Engineers have to make a decision on what features they have time to buil... read more »

  David, you are right. I forgot that the VarScoper doesn't work for script. However, your statement that you cannot 100% var scope script based components is flat out wrong. I use 100% script based CFCs. I ensure they are properly var scoped. It can be done.... read more »

  @David, Your comment makes absolutely no sense. A tag based function can also have unscoped variables. There is nothing special about tag, or script, that make it more, or less, likely to screw up var scoping. "I don't understand why Adobe don't put effort into showing unscoped v... read more »

  100% agree about not being a fan of JavaDoc style commenting for CF, especially when it impacts how things work. That feels wrong to me.... read more »

  Posted on Mar 28, 2012 at 10:06 AM

  I kinda agree in terms of hinting, it feels a bit awkward in code, but for datatyping I disagree. I think it works well. Compare: function doitWell(name,gender) {} public string function doitWell(required string name, required string gender) {} Yeah, it's more typing, but I thin... read more »

  Few comments here: "No Data-Typing" To be clear, you do know you CAN do that, right? "Less Hinting. Now that I have lost my Hint attributes" To be clear, you do know you CAN do it, right? For the above two, I just want to make sure you CHOSE to do so rather t... read more »

  I've read this twice (ok, skimmed it ;) and I don't get how to actually use this still. Your example just isn't clicking with me. Would you mind writing another example? Here is a specific use case. I want to do a network call, let's say something simple: $.get("read more »

• ColdFusion 10 Beta - Critical Bug In Compiling Function Expressions / Closures

  Posted on Feb 21, 2012 at 12:59 AM

  Sammy, I cannot answer for Ben, but as a ColdFusion user myself (and I should note, I work for Adobe now, so, <biased> alert on), why question Ben's decision to use it? You say there are better solutions out there. Well, better how? People use the tools that make them successful. A tool bei... read more »

• A Big Hole In My Understanding Of ColdFusion Scheduled Tasks

  Posted on Dec 9, 2011 at 9:43 PM

  You know, it just goes to show you, even with a system that was 100% Perfect, if you have a scheduled task, you should probably have some way of verifying it, or making it 'vocal' so you know it actually run. I don't necessarily mean you need an email for a task running every 5 minutes, but, the... read more »
