Mr. Kumar,

Im writing you about an issue i had with Coldfusion using an Oracle LDAP java API. I am using a JAR file that is provided by Oracle, and when i use this JAR, specifically the ConnectionUtil class, in java only, it compiles and runs just fine. I am able to login etc. When i call the same ConnectionUtil class in coldfusion, I get an error …

oracle.ldap.util.UtilException: Error in resolving Oracle Context: cn=OracleContext Not an instance of DirContext

Why would it work when run in Java and not in cf?

I use eclipse for my java development. Java 1.6… I even tried compiling it with the same jre in CF 8. I can send you more code examples of what im using. I cant attach anything in this comment form.

If you have any suggestions, Im all ears.

Thanks,
Matthew

Rupesh-

I am pulling infomration from an HTML formatted table into a PDF. It looks great, save for one small problem. The and headers and footers do not repeat at the top of each page as they do when you print the HTML. Is there a hotfix for this or is this not supported?

Thanks,
Tim Grant

Thank you for your excellent CF ORM articles. Your writings are what finally made CF’s implementation of ORM “click” in my brain.

I have an ?ancient? CF application (it was originally developed on CF 5 I believe) that I wish to start migrating, piece-wise to CF ORM. The problem is that I have a bunch of other “things” (cron jobs, reporting, etc) running on various other non-CF servers within the infrastructure that I wish could take advantage of the Hibernate ORM objects that I need to create.

I am a Hibernate newbie and a CF ORM newbie too (though, thanks to your writings I ?think? I have a decent grasp of the CF part). What I’d _REALLY_ like to do is to be able to create Hibernate Java objects that I can use/call BOTH in CF and in various other programs I have running all over my network. All of these programs (CF or otherwise) talk to the same DB’s and should use the same basic/generic CRUD logic (relationships and all). It would be a great help if you could do a writeup/example on developing a strait up, Hibernate Java class that can be used/called from CF and thus also utilized in other applications.

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us…

Hi.

I manage an application at the University of Rochester Med Center and I was looking at your ORM articles. *brilliant!*
It takes approx 2 mins for our main grid to load, each time criteria is changed. I just recently took over the project. We do not have coldfusion 9 and don’t currently have the funding so I am thinking that I won’t have access to the ORM capabilities.
Can you lead me to a manual way to do lazy loading or perhaps a better way to structure my queries so I can get a faster runtime?

Thank you for your time!

You should create a contact page

Do you have a solution for getMetaData() not showing mixins? I am trying to use some generation tools for documentation and stubbing.

Thanks,
