CF9 Directory Watcher randomly skips files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:53:54 GMT

I'm using the directory watcher gateway to log changed files as they are pushed (FTP'd) to a development server. The gateway occassionally misses random files. I've seen some older post where this was a problem and was looking to see if the problem still exists on CF9. The onAdd/onUpdate methods simply write the file details to a SQL database. There is very little logic in the .cfc.

If you FTP 10 files to the server it will tell you 8 changed. If you push the same 10 again it will in some cases it will reconcile the missing files. I have the intervalconfigured for 60 seconds.

cffile, uploading excel docs while excel is open

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:28:53 GMT

We've uncovered an odd situation when uploading excel documents. We use the "accept" attribute to limit uploaded content to excel documents only and it works according to adobe documentation except when the document being uploaded is open in excel. If you upload a document that is currently open in excel it changes the mime type to application/octet-stream. If you close excel and upload the exact same document the mime type is application/vnd.ms-excel.

Interestingly enough this only seems to be a problem in IE. If I run the same process in Firefox it doesn't change the mime type on upload. Is anyone else experiencing this problem. How did you deal with it?

WebCharts3D Flash Output: Client

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:01:57 GMT

Can an xml document be passed to the WebCharts3D produced flash file on the client side? We've had success with WebCharts3D on the server side but in a load balanced environment the local image reference presents challenges and I'm not willing to enable sticky sessions. If the flash output from WebCharts3D could take an XML string directly into the swf I could leverage the swf like its part of the application and have it distributed across the cluster. Server side we could build the XML string and use it in a "FlashVars" model letting the local swf produce the desired results.

CF9 cfchart load balanced environment

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:37:03 GMT

Any changes to cfchart in a load balanced environment in CF9? I've set the disk cache location to a network share and cfchart definitely produces output on the share but it looks like the request can't find the image. I was about to go done the cfcontent path but producing a dashboard of multiple graphs will be challenging.
