Listing All Classes In A Jar File Using ColdFusion

Posted on Oct 3, 2008 at 9:10 AM

I never really play around with JAR files much, so this comment could be totally off base, but, could you have not just used the cfzip tag? It accepts a JAR file and you could use the list action and just dumped that out, right? or am i missing the point? It's Friday so my brain has shut of ffor t... read more »

Using The Apple iPod Shuffle Without iTunes

Posted on Sep 23, 2008 at 10:55 AM

I still don't get what you hate about iTunes. It is awesome! I never experience it being clunky. Maybe it is because you are on Vista :-) Have you checked out the genius feature? I didn't think it would be any use but it has reminded me about all the other music i have on my machine.... read more »
ColdFusion Functions Declared Inside CFScript Have Output

Posted on Jul 10, 2008 at 4:14 PM

I think what I actually said about the onRequest method was that it was evil and I don't use it :-) One thing I love about doing the application file in script tags is that i find it very readable, but i think that is mostly because I use script tags a lot in my code. I think that kind of stuff c... read more »

I foresee many a long night in the office again, studying. I shouldn't have thrown away all my blank postcards we got for flash cards! Should i point out to everyone that on our first practice test you still passed? Or maybe that you got almost 100 on the final exam? Or should i keep that betwe... read more »

@Tom, i love the slash idea, that makes sense. I am going to be changing the site over to slash notation for better SEO so that would match the rest of the site as well. SWEEET! thanks!... read more »
Ask Ben: Tracking File Downloads In ColdFusion

Posted on May 15, 2007 at 3:54 PM

@Tom, That makes sense. @anyone If a user was to right click and to choose save target as, would they be able to save the file? Or would this try and have them save a .cfm file. I have had instances that when they have chosen to save target it has prompted as the file name "a file name.cfm" e... read more »

Ask Ben: Tracking File Downloads In ColdFusion

Posted on May 15, 2007 at 3:00 PM

When you do an onclick function, would that track it as a hit if i were to right click on the link? If so would that not provide you with an accurate result? Or is onClick only for left hand clicks? @rich, i have used a similar method to yours when it comes to large files although my client neede... read more »
