Swiz RPC Library on RIAForge

Just a quick post to let folks know the source for the Swiz RPC Library, as well as the compiled SWC, are now available on RIAForge: http://swizrpc.riaforge.org. (translate)

Swiz RPC Library

A couple of weeks ago Joe Rinehart blogged about his RemoteMethodMediator for Swiz. Like Joe, I've found that most of my executeSeviceCall callback methods were just dispatching events via Swiz, so I liked the idea of skipping callbacks completely. However, I didn't really like Joe's implementation, so I yesterday I did some playing around and came up with the attached Swiz RPC library. The library has swiz specific implementations of mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject, mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.Operation, and mx.rpc.CallResponder. These classes can be used in your bean loader in place of the standard mx:RemoteObject, mx:method, and mx:CallResponder tags. [More] (translate)

SQL Injection Consideration

Here is something I discovered the other day that surprised me a bit. ColdFusion data sources have an advanced option named "Allowed SQL" which, according to the documentation, defines "the SQL operations that can interact with the current data source." I know some shops use this setting to help protect against SQL injection attacks. For example they may limit a data source to only allow SELECT and Stored Procedures. While you may think that this would go a long way toward protecting the data source against SQL injection, this may not be the case. If the database credentials used for (translate)

Data-Centric Development with ColdFusion 9 and Flash Builder 4

The second part of my Data-Centric Development with ColdFusion 9 and Flash Builder 4 tutorial is up on DZone. This tutorial builds on the project introduced in part one of the series and covers the new paging and client-side data management features available in Flash Builder 4.

JSONUtil 1.1

Last year I put together JSONUtil as a proof of concept solution to the issue of ColdFusion's implicit type conversion during JSON serialization. There were some issues with the 1.0 release, and I've had a few people submit patches, but because I had considered the project an experiment I didn't really take the time to update the official release. Well, last week I was working on an AJAX project where I was making XHR requests to ColdSpring remote proxies using ColdFusion's built in JSON return format when I began running into issues with implicit type conversion. Specifically I had a (translate)

Another CFScript Query Gotcha

There have been a few issues reported with using the new Query component from cfscript and today I ran into another. (Well actually I had a co-worker ask about it, but it still led me to look into the issue.) My coworker was trying to run a Query of Queries in cfscript. Here is an example: //create an empty query to work with qryFoo = queryNew("a,b,c","varchar,varchar,varchar"); //add a row and fill it with some data queryAddRow(qryFoo); querySetCell(qryFoo,"a","aaaaaa"); querySetCell(qryFoo,"b","aaaaaa"); querySetCell(qryFoo,"c","aaaaaa"); writeDump(var=qryFoo, label="qryFoo"); qryFoo2 = new query(dbtype="query", sql="select a, 'bbbbb' as b, 'ccccc' as c from qryFoo"); result = qryFoo2.execute(); writeDump(var=result, label="qryFoo2"); (translate)

Data-Centric Development with ColdFusion 9 and Flash Builder 4

I just posted the first of a two part tutorial over on DZone which walks through using some of the new data-centric development (DCD) features in Flash Builder 4 with ColdFusion 9. Data-Centric Development with ColdFusion 9 and Flash Builder 4 - Part I While Flash Builder is still in beta, the DCD features are very impressive and should simplify many ColdFusion/Flex work flows. Please check out the tutorial and let me know what you think. (And be sure to vote it up if you like it!) (translate)

hf801-71643 Breaks Application Specific Custom Tag Paths

About a month ago Adobe released CHF 3 for ColdFusion 8. I was excited about this release because it fixed a bug that has caused quite a few headaches I'm sure, that being application specific custom tags not working under load. At work we recently deployed the cumulative hot fix to one of our production clusters only to find we were still seeing the "Cannot find CFML template for custom tag" error on a pretty consistent basis. Determined to get the bottom of the issue, today I installed CF 8 locally (another post on this later) and put together a (translate)
