Yash, tried to send a PM, your box is full

I was trying to send you a PM about this, but your box was full, and you don't accept emails, so here we are. BTW- I noticed the technical forum is gone. Anyways, here is my message



Hi Yash,

I know we have had a few comments back and forth regarding the search engine issue, but I wanted to let you know I came across a solution I think would work for myself, and wanted to throw it by you.

The reason I want to throw it by you because it requires a small change to the web.xml file. It is actually recommended by Ben Forta but I want to show you what I am refering to:

This is taken from the help file of the Safe-URL file I am working with

Is that something you are able to do? I guess it only applies to MX.

I have no clue what it means but I thought if anyone did, it was probably you.

Thanks
Bryan

What's the URL for that article? I'll see what can be done

I hate being PMed so I've just left my mailbox full

The technical forum was merged with general. Mainly because people weren't reading the caption while posting.

I am not quite sure what the actual URL for his quote is, but in the help file I have been reading, it shows it, and then I came across this URL that deals somewhat with the same issue

http://www.spike.org.uk/go/friendly-urls

hope that helps

Thanks
Bryan

p.s. If it is something you can do, don't make any changes till I officically know I can do this.

Ok, the owner of the script
http://www.websolete.com/exchange.cfm#hurlmx

Wrote this to me in an email

So I guess if its possible, if you can add

Code:

		<servlet-mapping>
			<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
			<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
		  </servlet-mapping>

to the web.xml file, then everything else will fall into place.

Is this possible?

Hi

Give me 4 or 5 days on this one, but we'll have this done.

If we do this now the settings would eventually change because we are beginning to shift many customers to new servers we have setup.

Sounds good! Thanks Yash, I appreciate it

Bryan

Just to let you know, we have contacted Macromedia to see what the implications are regarding this setting

no problem. Hopefully they approve I checked my own web.xml file for my local testing on my computer, and it includes a long list of <servlet> tags. Here is an example:

Code:

 <servlet>
       	<servlet-name>FlashGateway</servlet-name>
       	<servlet-class>flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet</servlet-class>
       	<display-name>Flash Gateway</display-name>
       	<description>Allows flash to connect to CFML and CFC templates.</description>
     </servlet>

     <servlet-mapping>
      	<servlet-name>FlashGateway</servlet-name>
       	<url-pattern>/flashservices</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

	<servlet>
        <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>CFML Template Processor</display-name>
        <description>Compiles and executes CFML pages and tags</description>
        <servlet-class>coldfusion.CfmServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>GraphServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>GraphServlet</display-name>
        <description>Serves up graph data</description>
        <servlet-class>coldfusion.graph.GraphServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>GraphServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/CFIDE/GraphData.cfm</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfm</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfm/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfml</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfml/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>CFCServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>CFC Processor</display-name>
        <description>Compiles and executes CF web components</description>
        <servlet-class>coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CFCServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfc</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CFCServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.cfc/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CFCServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jws</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Like that one guy had said, its very minor and only requires a reboot, but I want you to be safe then sorry, so contacting macromedia is the right thing.

Did you hear from them yet? Probably not since macromedia is so large

Just checkin in again to find out the progress.

Thanks
Bryan

any luck?

Hey, I just found another link that dicusses the servlet issue
http://www.assetnow.com/index.cfm/12,356,79,html

Hey, could I at least get a thumbs up, thumbs down, still in the process type of check? I know I posted a couple times, and they may have gotten over looked, but a small update would suffice.

Thanks
Bryan

Yes, this will be done on the new cluster. It should be up very soon (few days)

Thanks Yash,

I just noticed that you responded, but I never receive an email so its been 4 days since I noticed you responded oops. Just curious, but does a few days mean a week, or does a few days mean a few days, because since your response to my post, its been a few days No rush, just wondering, thats all.

The cluster is setup. We are just waiting on PSOFT to setup our Windows servers. We were hoping they they would have done it on Monday but they didn't. Trying to get an ETA from them. Could take a few days.

Hey, whenever it happens, just keep me updated.

Thanks Yash
Bryan
