Why application.cfm file not be treated first?

I use ColdFusion 11 under 2008 R2. I understand, if there's an application.cfm page in the root folder, that any .cfm page below the root will treat this page first and then process the regular .cfm page. I noticed that he treats my regular page FIRST and then calls the application.cfm page.

In my case, I have a web page that updates a database, but in my application.cfm page, I check to see if the user is stored in a session variable. If they are not connected, I have them les rediriger redirect in a journal page, let them log, set the variable to session and then redirecting them to the process page. But I noticed that when I run the page, the database is updated and the user gets redirected to connect, then the database is updated again.

I do not use the application.cfm page correctly? I thought it was supposed to be used to check the record the ins and things like that. How can I make sure that it runs first?

BTW, this is the only page application.cfm in the whole of the web site and I have not any application.cfc files.

Thank you.

It would make things easier to see the code. In any case, from what you say, my guess is that there is no verification of authentication to the point where the database is updated. So the update occurs at the beginning, and again when later you redirect the user to the page.

On Coldfusion 11, you must actually pass in Application.cfc. There are at least 2 reasons.

First, recent versions of Coldfusion implicitly assume that you use default Application.cfc. Secondly, Application.cfm is obsolete and has much less features than Application.cfc. For example, Application.cfc allows you much more precise control of your code at the level of the application, session, and application.

  • IsDefined / Session Variable / application.cfm - does not

    Greetings-

    If someone can throw a glimpse as to why the second
    scenario below does not work like the first?

    < < < < First scenario > > > > (work)

    [Main folder |-secure_access]
    [file] - login.cfm
    [file] - authenticate.cfm
    [file] - application.cfm

    [Sub folder] - secure_access/view
    [file] - first_page.cfm
    [file] - second_page.cfm

    [file] - application.cfm
    < name cfapplication = "CF_Password2."
    ClientComm = "Yes" sessionmanagement = "Yes".
    SessionTimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan (0,0,2,0)" # ""
    applicationtimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan (0,0,2,0)" # ">"

    The variable session.ual is defined on the
    Authenticate.cfm page saved in database.

    A person accesses the login.cfm file to the main folder and between appropriate username and password and the product. The login.cfm page passes on the the authenticate.cfm and is checked against a database, and if the record found, go to first_page.cfm.

    [file] - first_page.cfm
    < IsDefined ('session.ual') cfif >
    < p > < a href = "second_page.cfm" > to the second page < /a > < /p > "
    < cfelse >

    < p > This is the second page < /p >
    < cfelse >
    < /P > < p > access denied
    < / cfif >

    After a period of two minutes, if I update the first_page.cfm or try to click on the second_page.cfm file, I get the message 'access denied '.

    < < < < Second scenario > > > > (does not work)

    [Sub folder] - secure_access/view

    [file] - cfapplication.cfm

    < IsDefined ('session.ual') cfif >

    < cfelse >

    < /P > < p > access denied

    < cfabort >

    < / cfif >

    In the second scenario, I added an application.cfm file check to see if the session.ual variable is present. If it is, then the process must continue and first_page.cfm, with subsequent to second_page.cfm and of course link display where the post.
    is not the case.

    I have the impression that placing the application.cfm in this folder and checking the session variable, covers all pages in the file rather than having to add the verification code to each page.

    What Miss me in this process? I'm sure it's something simple and I've just dealt with this too long. Perhaps a new set of eyes on the situation can enlighten us to the right way for me to accomplish my task.

    Thanks - Leonard B

    That's what I thought.

    But when a request is made for a model based in the sub folder, only the
    Application.cfm IN this FOLDER gets run. If one main folder
    NOT run. And it is the one in the main file that implements the
    parameters of the session with .

    One thing that confuses people - perhaps you, in this case - is there
    nothing particular Application.cfm or tags, in itself, in
    with regard to the persistence once they have been executed the first time (the application
    Scope is something different; who IS persistent between requests).

    So to be able to access your session variables, you must hit that
    tag * each * request *. Sessions of the people are based in part
    the CFTOKEN and CFID values sessions, but also the name of the application
    (different applications have different sets of session variables). The
    the application name must be set to each request (via a tag),
    otherwise CF don't know where the request is for the application.

    I think that all you need to do is add<>
    "model = '... / Application.cfm" > at the top of your file under "
    Application.cfm.

  • Why Flash cookies are not deleted the first time I'm leaving Firefox?

    I am running XP, Firefox 16.0.1 and Flash Player 11.4.402.287 and have Firefox configured to 'Clear history of Firefox closing', with 'Cookies' (among others) checked "settings to erase history. I also have Flash Player configured to "Block all sites to store information on this computer."

    As I understand it, from Firefox 4 and Flash Player 10.3, have Firefox configured in this way should cause cookies Flash should be deleted out of Firefox. I also understand that even though I have Flash configured as I do, a list of websites that try to plant a cookie Flash is always recorded in the main settings.sol cookie.

    I noticed, however, that this list of empty Flash cookies is not removed the first time I have quit Firefox; on the contrary, the list is deleted after launch and then leaving Firefox again.

    Here is a step-by-step example:

    (1) Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage tab-> storage Local to Site-> button settings confirm that the list is empty

    (2) output, that manage Flash Player settings

    (3) launch Firefox-> go to http://www.Hulu.com/ and click on a video to start playing

    (4) recovery Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> Local website storage settings... tab button-> make sure that the list indicates http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (5) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (6) Firefox exit

    (7) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (8) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (9) restart Firefox

    (10) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (11) exit the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (12) exit Firefox

    (13) stimulus Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST IS now EMPTY

    Once again, my question is - why this list is not emptied the first time around?

    Safe mode disables plugins, I think not, so that you can put those aside for now.

    I suggest disable all non-essential extensions. We all tend to accrue to those who are not really necessary. You can do so here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

    If the kernel extensions, you really like the cause of the same problem, then I think you will have to just live with it. Please note that Flash is followed correctly your bet as a block, so I don't think that something is actually stored.

  • Use a variable to an Application.cfm file in another?

    Hey,.

    I have an Application.cfm file in the root of my site and another in a subdirectory. I have a few variables global application I need to put in the file application root and use throughout my site. I can't do a cfinclude of the root application file because I don't need all that is in it and if I included the whole of the file, is to provoke errors. Is there anyway to 'understand' as part of an application file?

    Thank you!
    Holli

    Dear Wolli

    I will propose to create a file and you called something line Global.cfm and in this file, you must include all of the golbal variables where you usually share between different applications, then you use the include or import tags to include in an application or page you want. In addition, you can create a cfc file and it containse many functions and each function will create a set of variables and then in each application you call and trigger the function of desire.

    Good luck

  • login access and application.cfm file

    Hello

    I use an application.cfm connection for my application. I have just discovered that the downloaded files (ppt, doc, pdf, xls, etc.) are accessible by simply using the complete URL to the file and the user does not have to connect, even if the files are in a directory protected application.cfm.

    For example,.

    www.domain.com/login/ returns the user to the login page
    www.domain.com/login/Resources/ returns the user to the login page
    www.domain.com/login/resources/thisFile.pdf will load the pdf file and not to return the user to the login page.

    How do I overcome this?

  • Why the VI does not work the first time?

    Hello fellow users of LabVIEW

    I did a VI that pulls data from a worksheet and then manipulates the data in different rows and columns to give a final spreadsheet of desired values.

    This VI works fine for me, except when I run the first time only, in which case it gives me values of nonsense.

    Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong with the block diagram. It could be a problem with the data stream.

    Thank you

    mhaque

    My guess was very good.

    Yes, you have a race condition.  You read some values through a local variable in the upper part of your VI.  But you write in fact of all values of these indicators until the first image in your sequence structure.  Either thing could happen first, but it is very likely that your local variables are read first.  Thus the default data meaningless.  You should put these calculations in the first image of the sequence structure.  And use wire to one of the constants in the calculations rather than a local variable.

    In fact, I don't know if you need to use local variables anywhere in your VI.  And I also believe you can eliminate both your internal and external sequence structures.  You should always use wires to define your data flow.  The structure of your internal sequence pretty well done this already.  And if you get rid of your local variables and connect to the source of these values, no sequence structure, no variables, and no race condition.

    Try this VI.  I cleaned up.

  • question about application.cfm

  • Problem with Application.cfm

    Hi all
    I am facing problem with Application.cfm file. When I try to use the Application.cfm file, the whole page gets distorted with Internet Explorer. However, the page appears correctly with Firefox. If I change the name of Application1.cfm, the page is properly aligned in Internet Explorer, but my goal to download then fails.
    Any idea, why did this happen.

    When you use your file Applciation.cfm view source in the browser and you
    will see the problem. IE is too sensitive to what anyone, including
    white space before the doctype. If the doctype is not the
    very first thing the browser receives, IE will go into quirks mode which
    often radically changes how it renders a web page. Firefox is more
    standards and ignores the outdoor spaces before the doctype.

    The Solution:
    Use one of the whitespace in ColdFusion, such as package management features
    all Applicaiton.cfm your code in a block of ... then
    no space extra is sent to the browser.

  • Application.cfm or .cfc a

    I'm working on the update of the applications that we currently use for maintenance by the user AD. that is, add new users, unlock accounts, reset passwords, etc.)

    We use cgi.auth_user and then analyze that to get the domain and the user of the Windows user ID, access the app. Then, we take the part of the said user id and use it as the filter in one query cfldap. pulling attributes that allows us to control access and transactions of timestamp.

    Cfldap query is included in a number of pages throughout the app and I wanted to move to another Application.cfm file, or create a .cfc file (something that we do not currently use) and put it there.

    We are 11 ColdFusion, are there advantages/disadvantages to one of these methods?

    In General, Application.cfc has only advantages over Application.cfm. This is because Application.cfc was designed to address the flaws of the Application.cfm and include other features fine grain that developers need.

  • Cffunction in application.cfm?

    No special statements or references are needed. Calling the function on any page within the scope of the application file should work.

    To check yourself, make the following test. Create a directory and put the Application.cfm files and testPage.cfm in it.

    Application.cfm

    sessionmanagement = "Yes".

    setclientcookies = "Yes".

    SessionTimeout = "#createTimeSpan (0,0,60,0)" # ""

    applicationtimeout = "#createTimeSpan (1,0,0,0)" # ">"

    testPage.cfm

    #f()#

    Now run the test page. I hope that the string is out. My guess is that it has failed in your case because you named your application.cfm file instead of Application.cfm.

    These nested application data files contain any data?  If so, is it the same as that contained in the original folder?

    I would like to treat this situation as a corrupt user profile.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    When he is in the process of copy on the old profile files and folders, I first copy the folder of Application data to another location, just in case the change it causes unexpected problems - just make a copy and put it in your Documents folder for now (you can remove it later if everything works as expected). Remove the nested application data folders (unless they contain information are not not in the main folder - then I would probably copy it in the main folder, and then delete).  This, so that there is only one Application data folder.  Then copy it to the new profile.  You may have problems to access these records.  If Yes, click on properties, advanced security and check if all the user has denied access.  If so delete this entry and you should be able to work with the folder.

    I hope this helps.

  • CFM Page file not found problem

    Hi all

    Having a very strange problem and I hope someone out there can help. My Flex application, I use a navigateToURL call to load a page CFM (Report.cfm) located at the root of the Flex application. On my test server CF (Windows 2003 SP2, ColdFusion 8 multiserver with Hotfix 2), it works fine. However, the same app on my new production company (Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1, ColdFusion 8 multiserver with Hotfix 2) each second page load (even refreshes in the browser) will fail with a 404 error. I have the default coldfusion error page saying "file not found: Report.cfm. If I hit the Refresh button on the browser, the report charges as expected. Hit refresh again and the 404 is displayed. It can take ad-infinitum - every second page request generates the 404 error.

    As you can imaging that had driven me crazy for these last days. CFM page basically just executes a stored procedure on the SQL Server (SQL Server 2000 SP4) database and uses CFDOCUMENT to generate a nice report in PDF format page. The URL request uses a bunch of parameters to query (for example. Report.cfm? id = 123 & Type = XRay.

    I wonder if there is something different between Windows 2003 and Windows 2003 R2 IIS or OS or something. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please answer!

    I finally found the answer... I forgot that the prod environment use CF clustering (CF8) and it turned out to be a problem of mapping between the paths of files on the two windows hosts. My bad!

    I fixed that my by ensuring that the app is deployed to a common location on both machines for services of the CF can find the file correctly. I really feel very stupid to not think about it at first...
