Hi everyone

I wonder if anybody help I'm very new to coldfusion coding so it may be very obvious and seem a dumb question but nevertheless here goes . I have a form with a textarea for the user to input a description ( using SQL database) when the entered information is output on the page after retrieval from the database it is in one continuous line with no breaks / paragraphs etc . When the info is retrieved back to a form to edit and update in the database however it appears as it was originally written with line breaks etc as entered . If anyone could advise i would be very grateful

ColdFusion web service issue

jason_y — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:35:36 GMT

Hi,

I have a server with ColdFusion8 and Windows 2003. This has IIS 6.0 installed and hosts multiple sites with differeny internal IP's. I created an IIS record entry which refers to a directory containing some .cfm files and a web service (.cfc) in a subdirectory. When I type in the url of one of the .cfm files (e.g. http://IPAddress/test.cfm), the file displays properly. However when I type in the url of one of the .cfc files (e.g. http://IPAddress/cfc/CustomerRequest.cfc?wsdl) it gives me the following error:

Fault - Error attempting to create Java skeleton for CFC web service.; nested exception is:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException: [coldfusion.xml.rpc.SkeletonClassLoader$UnresolvedCFCDataTypeException : Cannot resolve CFC datatype: /cfc/CustomerRequest.cfc.]

One thing I found is that if I type in http://IPAddress/cfc/CustomerRequest.cfc?wsdl, it seems to go to another website hosted on the same machine, even though the IP's don't match. I copied the same .cfc file to the directory pointed by the second IP address and this url would work. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before?

Sincerely,

Jason

Is cold fusion dead?

Does anyone still use Cold Fusion anymore?

CF web service works with prvate IP address, but not with public.

Hi,

I have created a web service that returns a simple XML file. There is a private IP assigned to it as well as a public IP. When I try to invoke it with the private IP, the XML file gets returned correctly. However using the public IP fails to give a response. The 2 IP addresses point to the same location and I was able to get the WSDL file using either IP address. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before?

The web service:
<cffunction
name="getCustomer"
returntype="XML"
output="false"
access="remote"
hint="get CanadaPharmacy customer"
>

<cfxml variable="customerXML" casesensitive="no">
<cfoutput>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PartnerGateway>
<ErrorMessageDetails>testing 123</ErrorMessageDetails>
</PartnerGateway>
</cfoutput>
</cfxml>

<cfreturn customerXML>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

The <cfinvoke> call:

The web service is in a file named "CustomerRequest_test.cfc" while the variable "PartGate" is an XML file.

Sincerely,

Jason

Applications of ColdFusion?

I have often seen from advertisements that a knowledge of ColdFusion is needed for a particular job but never given much thought about it until now. What common applications use ColdFusion?
