A few of you asked to see the ActionScript code use to implement the query2tree() function used in the Flex example I posted last week. So, here it is: function query2tree(src) { // Define tree object var tree:XML = new XML(); // Define vars var recNo:Number, itemCount:Number; var rec:Object; var...

Over the years the list has grown to the point that the page requires about eight page-down scrolls to see the entire two column list. So, this page seemed like an ideal first Flex app; a tree control showing categories...

SearchDatabase.com just posted an editorial on databases and object abstractions, stating quite emphatically that object design should not be mapped to database design (I agree). The author also lists three rules (all of which I agree with); keep your business rules in the database, use the...
Geek.com is running a story on how the AMD Opteron 248 outperforms Intel Xeon 2.8GHz MP in server benchmarks. So what has this to do with ColdFusion? The test was performed using a ColdFusion application. To quote: "In a two CPU head-to-head comparison running a stressful Web server script and a...
This one was found by a ColdFusion user at Lockheed Martin who sent me a CFC that could not be invoked via SOAP, on every call it threw "Duplicate declaration of local variable t" errors. The problem? "t" is kind of reserved, the CFC to Java conversion code defines "t" as java.lang.Throwable. This...
