Hey @quetwo and anyone looking to build APIs... I read in the CommandBox docs that the REST implementation is something you either love or hate. I do see their point. But after doing some testing, I am now in the camp that loves it, at least with Lucee. First, I built a docker image that modifies the web.xml files and changes the word REST to API. Then built a simple endpoint like this... mydomain.com/api/users/12345 Then made it really complicated like this... mydomain.com/api/users/12345/system/ABC123/feedback?limit=50 All without the overhead of a framework, priceless. So thanks again for sharing your video quetwo :)

@mjclemente did this solve your problem? https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-5457

nice feature we added in 6.1, shorthand notation for structs

Copy code

lucee = "rocks";
ralio = "rocked";
st = { lucee, ralio };  // produces { "RALIO":"rocked","LUCEE":"rocks" }

another one is the safe navigation operator, which can be combined with elvis to start an entire new genre of music

Copy code

var prop = some?.key?.that?.is?.not?.there ?: "I'm a default value!";

Wrt this from way back https://dev.lucee.org/t/changing-isdebugmode-adding-isdebugoutputenabled/10691 Lucee 6.2.0.321 just seems to require debugging to be enabled i.e. it is working as per the above proposal. With e.g. Lucee 6.0.3.1, isDebugMode() returns true only if debugging is enabled and I have a template defined (with an IP range matching my current IP!!) If this has been a recent(ish) change, did an equivalent of the proposed isDebugOutputEnabled() ever get built? If not, is there another way I can work out if Lucee debug being shown on screen for the current request, which takes into account IP addresses?

So... I was forced into a manual/fresh upgrade of Lucee from 5.4 to 6.2 last night. It was a truly painful experience trying to remember and recreate all the configuration items like datasources and mappings as Lucee 5.2 had become enitely crippled and unresponsive. Mostly my own fault, if I had run the upgrade last week I'm sure it would have been much less of an issue. That's just background, not a slight on Lucee whatsoever. What I really want to comment on is the apparent and dramatic improvement on memory management with 6.2. The server in question is an out-of-date Windoze box which in the past, like yesterday before the upgrade (and for years prior), would usually show memory usage at around 90% - everything that was allocated to Java appeared to be in use. Today it is at 10%. I'm not a server expert and know just enough to be dangerous sometimes but this really got my attention. And yes, everything seems to be running faster too. Disclaimer: apart from the Windoze task manager I don't have metrics for the memory usage and I only have my personal impression of the speed improvement and of course ymmv... But a big thanks and thumbs up to @zackster and the entire Lucee crew. 🙏 👍

Any tips on how to debug this error?

lucee.runtime.exp.ApplicationException: No entity (persistent component) with name [Activation] found, available entities are []

I get this when I try to

EntityLoadByPK()

I'm not seeing anything in the logs. The odd things is this app has been running for years and mostly runs fine, but every now and then will start to throw this error. A re-start will clear it up eventually. In my local environment, I can get past this error at all. Full stack trace

Wrapping up our upgrade to 6.2.1.122 and I did encounter https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-4772 again. I raised it in the ticket itself, but seeing as it's currently deployed I wanted to make sure it wasn't missed perhaps. I can test more, but I definitely had to apply the workaround for all of our instances that used the extension from Leftbower.

TIA for patience, I hope I explain this right. Our production servers are behind a load balancer, and our staging server is behind the same load balancer. The load balancer is "cloaking" a 500 response from the server by showing a 404. I am unable to find the location of the 500 error being logged in either Fusion Reactor or the lucee logs for application, exception and out. The load balancer is unable to show me what it received in the 500 and will only show the 404 of the cloak. Where would you look to get the actual response from the server? Please, if you feel you need to speak very simply, I understand! This feels very basic and I'm surprised I can't find the 500 anywhere!

I have IIS connected with BonCode to Lucee windows installation. Mod_CFML was installed during Lucee windows installer run, but it has its redirection problems, so I just commented out the valve. How can I remove mod_cfml from Tomcat? or from IIS? Just want IIS/Lucee pair be configured manually, don't want mod_cfml to intervene.

Hi Everyone, can anyone help me to fix my issue. For one of my project I am using MongoDB version 7 with Lucee 6.2.1.122. I am using cbmongoDB module. Below is the code I am using

Copy code

//module injection

property name="MongoClient" inject="MongoClient@cbmongodb";
property name="MongoUtil"   inject="MongoUtil@cbmongodb";
property name="MongoIndexer" inject="MongoIndexer@cbmongodb";

//mycode
var MyDB = MongoClient.getDBCollection('myCollection');	
var criteriaQry = [
{
	   '$match':{
		'$and': [
			{ 'dealerId': { '$eq': Int(arguments.dealerId) } },
			 {'isDeleted': false},
             {'isDraft': false}
		]
	   }
},
{
	'$count': 'count'
}

];

var rrx = MyDB.aggregation(criteriaQry).asArray();

the 'MyDB.aggregation(criteriaQry).asArray();' results in error: class coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy cannot be cast to class org.bson.conversions.Bson (coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader @2f218355; org.bson.conversions.Bson is in unnamed module of loader com.compoundtheory.classloader.NetworkClassLoader @70f1198a)class coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy cannot be cast to class org.bson.conversions.Bson (coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader @2f218355; org.bson.conversions.Bson is in unnamed module of loader com.compoundtheory.classloader.NetworkClassLoader @70f1198a) Also I changed my code to use the JAVA liberaries directly

Copy code

//module injection

property name="jLoader" inject="id:loader@cbjavaloader";

//mycode
var mongoClientClass = jLoader.create("com.mongodb.client.MongoClients");
mongo = mongoClientClass.create("mongoDBConnectionString");
db = mongo.getDatabase("dataBaseName");
collection = db.getCollection("DbCollection");

dealerId = javacast("int", 32); // or hardcode for test
pipeline = createObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList");


var matchStage = jLoader.create('org.bson.Document');
matchStage.append("\$match", {
	dealerId: dealerId,
	isDeleted: false,
	isDraft: false
});

var countStage = jLoader.create('org.bson.Document');
countStage.append("\$count", "count");

pipeline.add(matchStage);
pipeline.add(countStage);

result = collection.aggregate(pipeline);

// Read result
resultList = [];
iterator = result.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
	doc = iterator.next();
	arrayAppend(resultList, doc.toJson());
}

writeDump(resultList); abort;

I am getting the below error for the 'result.iterator();' class coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy cannot be cast to class org.bson.conversions.Bson (coldfusion.runtime.java.JavaProxy is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader @30cd734b; org.bson.conversions.Bson is in unnamed module of loader com.compoundtheory.classloader.NetworkClassLoader @5fba4e7d)

The showbag for CFCAMP included a radxa-zero3e SBC, now that we have have debian aarch64 installers, it was really easy to install Lucee 7 RC1 on it... Only gotcha was downloading the latest balena etcher rather than the one linked in the documentation, and i needed to retry the the flashing to get it working, plus something was already bound to port 8888, so I used 9888

has anyone come across issues when using a postgres database that has connection pooling on the database side? ever since we made that change to our database to use connection pooling, our lucee application sometimes gets stuck performing INSERT or UPDATE statements. we've been able to trace this to the application not finalizing the transaction and the database is waiting for it. we're using lucee 5.4.7.3 with postgreSQL extension 42.7.5

I'm building a modern API using Lucee and want to maintain session state without relying on cookies or URL parameters. Specifically, I’d like to pass

CFID

and

CFTOKEN

as custom HTTP headers (e.g.,

Authorization: CFID xxxxx

) with each request, and have Lucee bind to the appropriate session. However: • Passing session cookies cross-site triggers CORS restrictions. • Including session IDs in URLs is insecure and messy. Is there any supported way in Lucee to restore or bind a session using
CFID
and
CFTOKEN
from headers rather than cookies or query params? If not natively supported, is there a way to hook into restore a session in onRequestStart using the CFID/CFTOKEN? I did figure out how to retrieve the session data from Redis but if I loop over the values and add it to the current session, I'm basically duplicating the data to a new session on every load. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
