…Using CFML to create HTML is also a great replacement for JSP. You don’t have to give up your back-end (EJB, Spring, Hibernate) to use CF.
Adam Lehman is the Senior Product Manager for ColdFusion. He says a lot of ColdFusion use cases are within a Java development cycle. It’s a Java application, so it deploys as an .EAR or .WAR file.

I was doing a bit of research on a potential project when I stumbled across faint, a Java facial recognition library and decided to give it a quick try.
The bad news is that the documentation is literally non-existent. So I did a bit of poking around the Jar and quickly found an ‘OpenCVDetection’ class. I dropped the faint Jar in my class path, restarted CF and about 5 minutes and 14 lines of code later I got the following result…

Amazing article by Todd Sharp.
With a few lines of code and a java library, you can produce faces images from a photo.
Guys, ColdFusion is not only the best language, it has amazing Gurus.

Jason Delmore posted an interesting article comparing string concatenation using ColdFusion and Java.
stringbldr = createObject("java", "java.lang.StringBuilder").init();
for (i=1;i<=iterations;i++) {
stringbldr = stringbldr.append(appendstring);
}

Last week I had a big headache trying to import a 165MB XML file. I couldn’t even open it with any browse and reading it with ColdFusion gave me 500 errors, exceeded heap size, JRun closed connection, etc…
The solution I found was to read the file line-by-line using Java and creating blocks of XML code that allowed me to parse into objects and process them individually. Remembering, we use CF7 yet.
So I wrote this piece of code where I set my start tag and it will grab everything between my start and end tag, and assemble a XML object from there. I know the CF Gurus would suggest a much better solution, but that’s what i could accomplish with my humble knowledge and give a quick solution for the problem.

In my post Check If File Is Available I showed a code using the Java method canWrite() to check if the file was available to be worked (read/write). Our colleague Marco Antonio commented that it could cause a race condition, so it is not a good idea to use it for that purpose.

I mentioned in my previous post with the same title that I used a renaming function to check if the file was finished and unlocked by the FTP transfer, so I could work with it. Well, after several tests using the renaming test, I was still getting lock up errors and my process was stopping.
After some research, I realized that our FTP server (WS_FTP) did not lock the file when writing to it, so I was able to rename it, and it would continue to upload to the same renamed file. Even when I moved the renamed file to a work directory, the file size was still being increased. So none of my test functions would work.
Instead of changing the FTP server settings – it is an old one installed in 2002 – I decided to install Filezilla Server. Wonderful, it locks the file and my test function now works. Read the rest of this entry »
