Re: [railo] CFFTP Amazon EC2 Bug

2013-05-25T00:02:48Z

Having port 20 / 21 open on the EC2 instance just means that YOUR ports are
open for people to FTP to. Not for you reaching out to external servers.

Are you able to connect to this FTP Server from any other host?

cfajaxproxy problem

2013-05-24T13:04:16Z

I am having problems with using cfajaxproxy with railo, where by calling
some of my remote functions will result in a JSONParse error being thrown
in the browser. I have managed to identify which functions execute
successfully and which fail and it appears to be due to the types of the
parameters. Simple types such as strings and booleans work fine, i.e:

Elvis Operator

2013-05-23T18:45:21Z

I assume there is a good reason why you can't do:

name = contact.getName() ?: 'Unavailable'

The code above throws "left operant of the Elvis operator has to be a variable declaration". Is there any way to remove this limitation?

How to connect to Facebook's XMPP (Jabber chat) server using Railo & Smack ($1,000 reward)

2013-05-23T10:43:50Z

Hi,
This is a tough one. I've tried everything and still, facebook is telling
me "not-authorized" (as you'll see).
There might be a problem with the SASLXFacebookPlatformMechanism class. I
compiled it myself, despite knowing nothing about Java. Found that class
(and lots of discussion around it) on the net.

Grouping functions as component

2013-05-23T09:22:48Z

Hello,
I read someone sometimes uses to group functions *semantically* in a
component.
You instantiate it and use its functions. But well looks to me that it is
not the proper use of a component.
You should instantiate it passing a value, so the new value inherits all
the functions of the component.

Error on component, can't clear error without restart

I'm running 4.0.4.001 on Windows / Tomcat. I've got an error in a CFC, but
when I fix it, the error doesn't go away until I restart Tomcat. The view

Railo seems to be caching the error.

cfthrow additional info

2013-05-22T09:06:43Z

I noticed today that when an exception is thrown, depending on the type the
additional key is populated with some extra info. for example orm exception

however when you throw an exception in your code you can't pass any info to
populate the additional key. It would be nice if we could do that.

How do I pass a Java class to another method in Railo? (this is a CreateObject thing)

Odd URL

2013-05-20T14:21:28Z

Hello

Noticed something odd. Try this:

- make a local file whatever.cfm with this in it:

<cfdump var="#url#">
<cfoutput>#structkeyexists(url ,"b")#</cfoutput>

run it with this:

whatever.cfm?b[]=123

You'll end up with an array in a struct..

In ACF 9, you'll end up with a struct with a key of "b[]"

Could Railo implement a structnew() option to create a cache with fixed max size? What about persistent storage of shared memory?

2013-05-19T20:29:03Z

I tested structnew('soft') under low memory conditions and found that it
works pretty well. It deleted many of the struct keys without throwing any
errors.
But let's say you want to have a hashmap with a limited size and least
recently used algorithm for determining which ones to delete first when it

of that interface?

Datasource connection timeout = 0?

2013-05-13T21:30:15Z

In our railo admin we set the "connection timout" to be zero for our
datasource.
The description says: "Define a time in minutes for how long a connection
is kept alive before it will be closed"
So what does zero mean? I checked the railo source code, and I admit I am
no expert, but this looks like it defaults a 'zero' to one minute?:

Problem with index.cfm not holding session when migrating from CF to Railo

I have a bit of an odd problem that is incredibly frustrating. I have on my local Coldfusion server a copy of the code running at [link] This error is limited to the live Railo server, I have tried to replicate it on the local CF server and have had no luck. The problem is that when I login to the url [link], when I refresh I lose my session information. However, if I login via [link] (the webserver is set to default to index.cfm) then I can login and refresh and maintain my session. I have double checked all of my code to make sure there is no script running that is clearing the session. If anyone would like to see what I'm talking about try this out:

ORM inserts and updates

It was my (probably incorrect) understanding that if you perform multiple

db until the transaction commits, either implicitly at the end of the block
or via an explicit commit call.

however what i'm seeing is that with this example code

Manage Railo built-in Compression setting

2013-05-06T10:27:14Z

Hi there -
I wondered if there is a way to disable / enable the built-in gzip
compression on a request basis.
We are mostly serving JSON / HTML (text/* or application/*) where gzip
works perfectly but also creating JPGs on the fly where the compression
makes no real sense.
At the end of the day this might be a useful CFSETTING property.

Railo and Twilio Java SDK Outbound Calls Not working

2013-05-05T23:38:27Z

Hi Folks,

Has anyone successfully used the Twilio-Java API and Railo? I have a problem where everything is fine with the Twilio-PHP library but if I try to serve up a capability token from Railo/Java only the inbound calls work. I receive the token on the mobile client fine but the only thing that works are inbound calls. Issue is same on iOS and Android Clients. I presume it's something to do with the capability token but not certain. I have reached out to Twilio support as well but thought I'd reach out here also given my use of Railo in the equation.
