First, I'm surprised I could not find an actual guide to migrating codes from CF to Lucee.  I did find a few "notes" from people having done it but nothing I can go through to search and convert problematic areas of my codes, systematically.  So any help with something like this would be very appreciated.  

The problem I'm trying to fix right now has to do with XmlSearch.
This is the code as it has been working for me in CF10 as well as CF11 
<!---Extract the artifact link from XML api response file--->
<cfset GetArtifactURL = Replace(XmlSearch(Trim(xmlResponse),"normalize-space(string(//*:link[@rel = 'label']/@href))"),"_","-","all")>

Here is a sample of a response xml file (with only id numbers manually changed):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shipment-id>00012345670439632119</shipment-id>
<shipment-status>created</shipment-status>
<links>
<link rel="self" href="https://soa-gw.canadapost.ca/rs/0001234567/0000001234567/shipment/000123456740439632119" media-type="application/vnd.cpc.shipment-v4+xml"/>
<link rel="details" href="https://soa-gw.canadapost.ca/rs/0001234567/0001234567/shipment/00012345670439632119/details" media-type="application/vnd.cpc.shipment-v4+xml"/>
<link rel="group" href="https://soa-gw.canadapost.ca/rs/0001234567/0001234567/shipment?groupId=grp1" media-type="application/vnd.cpc.shipment-v4+xml"/>
<link rel="price" href="https://soa-gw.canadapost.ca/rs/0001234567/0001234567/shipment/00012345670439632119/price" media-type="application/vnd.cpc.shipment-v4+xml"/>
<link rel="label" href="https://soa-gw.canadapost.ca/ers/artifact/b40001234567e7d40001234567b2/00012345674/0" media-type="application/pdf" index="0"/>
</links>
</shipment-info>

When I test my XMLsearch code at http://www.whitebeam.org/library/guide/TechNotes/xpathtestbed.rhtm, it does not work, just as it does not work on Lucee.
But on that site this works (I mean it extracts the proper label link): string(/descendant::link[@rel = 'label']/@href)

So I changed my cf code above to:
<cfset GetArtifactURL = Replace(XmlSearch(Trim(xmlResponse),"normalize-space(string(/descendant::link[@rel = 'label']/@href))"),"_","-","all")>
But still no luck, it keeps returning an empty string.

What am I missing. Is this a Lucee problem?  
Thank you

What part are you trying to extract ? Just the href's ? Try a simpler XPATH expression.

Having worked through a few migrations, I'm not surprised. The incompatibilities I ran across were all fairly obscure. There are simply a vast number of possibilities to get from point a to point b in code if you include everything possible to do.

Just a shot in the dark: What happens if you replace 'label' with ""label"" ?

To answer Tom, In this case, I'm trying to extract only the href of the label. (notice there are other href in the same xml doc).
As suggested by Lutz, I tried adding changing 'label' for ""label"" without luck.

Further info: What i'm actually doing is converting an Carweaver based online store, presently hosted on cf10 server and using a MSSQL database, to a Lucee hosted server using MySQL database.
Cartweaver was already pretty much compatatible with Lucee. The database conversion also was relatively easy. Now I'm left with ironing out problems with my own customization codes. In this case, it is the shipping module.
It makes extensive use of xmlsearch! And it is a long code! (with various API connections for both UPS and Canada Post)  So I need to not just fix this particular one, but I need to understand what is going on so I can find and correct the rest of this module.

What puzzles me is that CF gets the proper link using (//*:link[@rel = 'label']/@href) while neither Lucee nor the web site (online xmlsearch test site) returns a link with that. This could be the "cf being forgiving" factor. But the online test web site does return the proper link with ...//:link... (Just removing the *) and Lucee still returns empty with everything! //link, //*link and even with /descendant::link could the problem be with the prefix string in <cfset GetArtifactURL = Replace(XmlSearch(Trim(xmlResponse),"normalize-space(string(//*:link[@rel = 'label']/@href))"),"_","-","all")>

Hi Dominique,

I have just tried the following XPath against your XML and it looks to work OK in Lucee 4.5.1.022:

normalize-space(string(//*[local-name()='link'][@rel='label']/@href))

I have used local-name() in the pas to avoid having to deal with the namespaces prefixes.

All the best,

Martin

Hi Martin,
You're my new best friend!!
It works like a charm, almost everywhere, CF10, CF11 and Lucee.  But it does not work on the XPath Expression testbed site?!? This is not a big deal, except for the fact that I still don't know why it works so differently (or not) from one place to the other. 

For now, I will use your solution since it works in both target environments. Now I'm still missing some understanding as to why it works. I need just enough so I can track and fix potential problems in the many more lines of codes that use XPath in this shipping module.
You say you use it to avoid having to deal with the namespaces prefixes, but my limited understanding of XPath was that this was what (this wild card) *: was suppose to do.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Dominique,

Glad it worked for you.

I would guess it may be down to whatever XML parser is being used within the Whitebeam Xpath Testbed. It works OK using these ones:


All the best,

Good, I can use these for further testing.

Moving on to next migration problem... I was testing this particular line of code, that retreives the url of the actual label because I was told both that Lucee handles PDF raw and that it did not handle it... 
So I needed to fiind out if this was an issue:
A dump of the respond from Canada post API (cfhttp.FileContent) looks like this (but shorten quite a lot): 
Native Array (byte[])
Raw[60,63,120,115,99,1(.........lots more numbers.........)15,97,103,101,115,62]
Base64 EncodedPD94(..........................lots more whatever....................................)wIiBl]

On CF10-11 I used this: <cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#cfhttp.FileContent#"> to show my shipping label so I can print it.

On Lucee, this results in the browser telling me that "This PDF doc might not be displayed correctly"... and it does not display at all.  The browser offers to try opening it with different viewers but the result is the same when I do.  They don't read it as being a pdf file.  This tells me either Lucee can't use pdf as type for the tag cfcontent, or the conversion of raw fails.  The wed site: http://docs.lucee.org/reference/tags/content.html  does not even specify any accepted type! So I'm left in the dark as to what is wrong.
Thank you
Dominique

To keep things separate, I've mark a star on the posted solution that worked, and created a new topic for the next problem I was facing. (the Binary pdf problem). Dominique

I have this regex code that used to work in CF10 but since moving to Lucee, it no longer works.  (The problem is not Lucee, it is the Regex, and Lucee just seems to be less forgiving...)
The code is: 
<cfset ThisNode = #XMLSearch(xmlResponse,"//*[local-name()='price_quotes']/*[local-name()='price_quote'] [* = '#CanPost_ServiceRegion##xmldata.CanPost_service_code#' ]/count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1")#>
The variable in the middle could be USA.SP.AIR for the purpuse of testing: so
<cfset ThisNode = #XMLSearch(xmlResponse,"//*[local-name()='price_quotes']/*[local-name()='price_quote'] [* = 'USA.SP.AIR' ]/count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1")#>

The closes I get to something right is:
count(preceding-sibling:://*[local-name()='price_quotes']/*[local-name()='price_quote'] [* = 'USA.SP.AIR' ]) + 1
But it always returns 1, instead of the actual position +1...

Can someone point me in the right direction?

The test xml file could be:

Hi Dominique,

What result are you expecting or trying to extract? If you let me know I will take a look at it.

All the best,

Hi Martin, Another way to put my question would be this: All I know when I start my search is the data in one of the service_code nodes (for example USA.TP). From that info, I need to figure out the position of the parent node price_quote amongst the other price_quote in the grandparent node price_quotes (so for USA.TP we want to return : 5 or USA.EP :1 etc).  This way, later in my code I can reference various notes using the specific [1] (numbered positions) And thank you in advance, Seriously, I've spent 3 hours on this yesterday, and I still could not figure what is wrong! 

I do know that this part works: //*[local-name()='price_quotes']/*[local-name()='price_quote'] [* = 'USA.XP' ]
which means that /count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1 does not work.
But you cannot image the number of variations I did with it, with no success!  So again, thankyou!

Hi Dominique,

This looks like it works:

count(//*[local-name()='price_quote'] [*[local-name()='service_code'] = 'USA.TP' ]/preceding-sibling::*)+1

This is returning 5 for me.

If you want the node itself you can use:
//*[local-name()='price_quote'] [*[local-name()='service_code'] = 'USA.TP' ]

Hope this helps.


All the best,

Martin

I was doing my testing on http://codebeautify.org/Xpath-Tester  wich was one of the ones you recommended a few days ago.  And it gives me an error?!? 
SyntaxError: The string '//*[local-name()='price_quotes']/*[local-name()='price_quote'] [* = 'USA.XP' ]/count(preceding-sibling--*) + 1' is not a valid XPath expression.

The example I gave you is working for me in Lucee...

Ok, so I did underestimate the difficulties in switching to Lucee.  Before moving my live site, I did lots of testing... but evidently not enough.  I did not realise that Lucee may not output an error but could still interpret some code differently, making my app fail without any bells or alarms going off!

On top of that, my development environment is behaving very different than my Live environment. 
I'm a very decent amateur programmer, but I'm definitely not a pro.  So at this point, I have to admit,  I'm over my head!
The guy (pro) I've been hiring to help me with difficult tasks is not available right now, and I really need help quickly!

I need help to:
1- Validate or correct Lucee Development set up and possibly Validate or correct Lucee live set up. 
2- Help test cart checkout, in particular, help with tracking session state.  Check out page is where people are falling off my site where they were not before moving to Lucce.

I receive valuable help on this post and since this is a continuation of the original title, I thought I'd post this here.

Start by checking the version of Lucee you have installed on dev and production to ensure they are have the same updates.  Also, you can export (most) all the settings to an Application.cfc file in the "Export" menu item to help compare the Lucee settings.

Other than that, I don't quite understand what specific questions you are asking us for.  

Thanks!
