Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / April 2006cfcontent question
Hi All, Well, i use an Application.cfm to secure pdf files access in a web site. I've modifed wwwroot/WEB-INF/web.xml file to declare : <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.pdf</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> then, when a user try to get a pdf file with input directly url in the browser, Application.cfm works and decide if user has good profile to get this document. The mistake is that if in the pdf file source there is <cf.... , CFML compiler generates an error. It works fine with CF 4.5, but not in MX 6.01. Is there any work around ? Thanx a lot. Fabrice First of all, as a general rule, content/files you want to protect using a web application should not be in the webroot of the server (or they should be protected by server ACLs). It is safer to keep your content (pdf) and script (cfm) files in separate directory trees on the server. But given that you're trying this setup, maybe you can use cftry/cfcatch in your application.cfm file and just ignore any errors that occur when pdf files are requested? Just go ahead and cfcontent the file from your application.cfm whether you catch an error or not. Hi Jeff, thanx for your answer. Well pdf documents and cfm templates are not in the same directory but pdf documents are accessible from web application, as condition as you are identified. I don't want that a non-identified user can access to this document, and i don't want to give system privileges to identified users (when i say i don't, understand project don't want :-) ) Could you think that it's possible to catch the error, because i try with sipmle cfabort on my Application.cfm and error appears (it's a compiler error). Anyway i will try this catch and inform u about results. Regards. Fabrice Well, I cannot catch the error. I think that the CFML compiler generates the error before Application.cfm works (where i put cftry...) It was ok with 4.5 but not with 6.1... I'll have to find another workaround quickly, i don't know how.. Thanx. Fabrice _fb_ - we just upgraded to MX7 from 5.0 and now we have the identical problem. Have you ever found a solution? Since it appears to be a compiler error - I am stumped... |
