cfm | Simple and fast TUI file manager with no dependencies | Command Line Interface library

We have a server with about a dozen small applications each in their own subfolder of the server (//URL/app1, //URL/app2, etc).

I've got the basic SSO authentication round trip working. I set up my account with my IDP and have the response set to go to a common landing page (ACS URL). Since the landing page is currently shared with all the apps, it is in a separate folder distinct from the apps (//URL/sso/acsLandingPage.cfm)

I'm now working on my first app. I can detect the user is not logged in so I do a initSAMLAuthRequest(idp, sp, relayState: "CALLING_PAGE_URL") and that goes out, authenticates, then returns to the landing page.

But how do I redirect back to my target application and tell it the user is authenticated?

If I just do a the original app doesn't know about the SAML request.

Is there a function that I can call in the original app that will tell if the current browser/user has an open session?

Do I need to set up separate SP for each application so rather than one common landing page each app would have its own landing page so it can set session variables to pass back to the main application? (the IDP treats our apps as "one server", I can get separate keys if that is the best way to deal with this).

My current working idea for the ACS landing page is to parse the relayState URL to find out which application started the init request and then do something like this:

ACSLandingPage.cfm

I'm using docker-compose to launch a commandbox lucee container and a mysql contianer.

I'd like to change the web root of the lucee server, to keep all my non-public files hidden (server.json etc, cfmigrations resources folder)

I've followed the docs and updated my server.json https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/embedded-server/server.json/packaging-your-server

The following is running on a ColdFusion 2018 server (in the event this is a version-specific issue).

I'm setting the Application datasource property in the onApplicationStart() LifeCycle Handler, but the datasource property isn't accessible in a CFM Template.

I'm thinking it may have something to do with how the this Scope is handled inside the onApplicationStart() method, but I'm not certain. I tried setting the datasource property using this.datasource as well as Application.datasource, but it's not accessible in the CFM Template either way.

Application.cfc

I try to write a onRequestStart function in application.cfc and code is

I'd like to create a Tuckey rewrite rule that matches only when the URL points to the root of a particular subfolder like this: http://localhost/foo (or http://localhost/foo/)

In this scenario, the /foo folder already exists and I need to make sure static assets under the /foo folder can still be accessible as normal. For example "http://localhost/foo/img/flower.jpg".

Here's what I've come up with so far, but it isn't working:

We have a very strange issue. We have a large CF application that was originally written in CF9, upgraded to CF2016, then onto CF2021. There is a invoicing job that runs as a scheduled task everyday. This invoicing job does many steps (creates, checks, and pays) invoices. There are many components (functions) that are used during this process. We went live with this new server in late November of 2021 and since we have done that, the invoicing job has had issues about 4 or 5 times so far.

The errors I am seeing are usually something like:

Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface components/distributor.distribcontroller.

I say usually, because even the "missing" component changes and they are different each time.

I have checked every component for errors, so that should not be it and most days this invoice job runs fine.

CF2021 is running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 4 CPU.4GB ram. other than this invoice job, application is fine (users never experience missing components)

I also do not use mappings, I have a custom mechanism where I set the compent path in a cfm file and use the "request" structure like: in a file that gets included in the Application.cfc - its may not be ideal, but it is just the was it was build years ago and too much work to change it. (i think).

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm currently teaching (re-teaching) myself JavaScript and jQuery in order to rewrite a legacy application that runs on Lucee.

Part of the rewrite requires several additions to the basic functionality. One specific addition is adding a "Street Name" select field to an existing "County Name" -> "City Name" select fields.

I found this StackOverflow question: Coldfusion conditional select option does not work in IE9, Chrome and Firefox

Using the basics of that question; I wrote the following:

Unsure why I am getting this error, I feel that I am missing something very simple. This is an issue I am facing trying to follow this post on creating a JAR executable from the command line. Here are my simple test files:

I would like to save a html page to a tibble so that I could later use mutate on the page content

I thought about reading the html direct to a tibble:
