4.3.31 CFUPDATE
Like CFMX, BlueDragon does not support “DSN-less connections”; therefore, it always
requires the
dataSource attribute and does not support the following optional attributes:
connectString
dbName
dbServer
dbType
provider
providerDSN
See the discussion of CFQUERY attribute support in Section 4.3.22 for more information.
4.3.32 CFWDDX
The following limitations exist in the BlueDragon implementation of the CFWDDX tag
relative to the ColdFusion implementation:
1. BlueDragon cannot deserialize binary data from WDDX to CFML. BlueDragon can
serialize all other kinds of CFML data, including query resultsets, arrays, and struc-
tures to name a few.
2. The
useTimeZoneInfo attribute is not supported by BlueDragon (defaults to “Yes”).
3. The validate attribute is not supported by BlueDragon.
4. BlueDragon uses a different notation than ColdFusion when JavaScript objects are
created:
ColdFusion notation: MyStock[“price”] = “66.25”;
BlueDragon notation: MyStock.price = “66.25”;
4.4 Enhanced CFML Tags
This section lists CFML tag enhancements that are unique to BlueDragon.
4.4.1 CFCOLLECTION
In BlueDragon,
CFCOLLECTION does not require use of a PATH attribute (for indicating
where the collection should be stored). If not specified, it defaults to creating the collec-
tion in
[bluedragon]\work\cfcollection\.
On the other hand, only collections created in that default directory are listed in the
BlueDragon admin console, or when CFCOLLECTION ACTION="list" is used. Collec-
tions created by specifying the
PATH attribute (placing the collection in another directory)
will still be available for use by
CFINDEX and CFSEARCH , but they will not be displayed
by these two approaches.
See additional information on the optional
WAIT attribute, discussed under CFINDEX in
Section 4.4.6.
