ColdFusion MX 6 1 Error (Cant Track the Error down)

Hi all, I am getting the below in a New Application. I am unable to find the error cause CFMX doesnt really report any clear Errors and there are No Application Errors. I am using CFC's as part of the Model and UserManger CFC for Client scope abstraction. There are few CFC's involved, so its not easy to post code. Any Ideas? Thanks, Joe Eugene Application Log        Feb 19, 2004            2:40 PM            Error            0            unFranchiseMX          Exception Log       1      "Error","jrpp-198","02/19/04","14:02:58","unFranchiseMX"," The specific sequence of files included or processed is: D:\wwwroot\unFranchise\index.cfm "            2      java.lang.NullPointerException            3      at coldfusion.runtime.ClientScopeKey.hashCode(ClientScopeKey.java:29)            4      at java.util.Hashtable.get(Hashtable.java:333)            5      at coldfusion.runtime.ClientScopeServiceImpl.GetClientScope(ClientScopeServiceImpl.java:168)            6      at coldfusion.tagext.lang.ApplicationTag.setupClientScope(ApplicationTag.java:565)            7      at coldfusion.tagext.lang.ApplicationTag.doStartTag(ApplicationTag.java:283)            8      at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTag(CfJspPage.java:1871)            9      at cfApplication2ecfm1098382522.runPage(D:\wwwroot\unFranchise\Application.cfm:10)            10      at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.invoke(CfJspPage.java:147)            11      at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.doStartTag(IncludeTag.java:357)            12      at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.invoke(CfincludeFilter.java:62)            13      at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.include(CfincludeFilter.java:30)            14      at coldfusion.filter.ApplicationFilter.invoke(ApplicationFilter.java:93)            15      at coldfusion.filter.RequestMonitorFilter.invoke(RequestMonitorFilter.java:43)            16      at coldfusion.filter.PathFilter.invoke(PathFilter.java:80)            17      at coldfusion.filter.ExceptionFilter.invoke(ExceptionFilter.java:47)            18      at coldfusion.filter.ClientScopePersistenceFilter.invoke(ClientScopePersistenceFilter.java:28)            19      at coldfusion.filter.BrowserFilter.invoke(BrowserFilter.java:35)            20      at coldfusion.filter.GlobalsFilter.invoke(GlobalsFilter.java:43)            21      at coldfusion.filter.DatasourceFilter.invoke(DatasourceFilter.java:22)            22      at coldfusion.CfmServlet.service(CfmServlet.java:105)            23      at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet.service(BootstrapServlet.java:89)            24      at jrun.servlet.ServletInvoker.invoke(ServletInvoker.java:91)            25      at jrun.servlet.JRunInvokerChain.invokeNext(JRunInvokerChain.java:42)            26      at jrun.servlet.JRunRequestDispatcher.invoke(JRunRequestDispatcher.java:252)            27      at jrun.servlet.ServletEngineService.dispatch(ServletEngineService.java:527)            28      at jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService.invokeRunnable(JRunProxyService.java:192)            29      at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$ThreadThrottle.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.java:451)            30      at jrunx.scheduler.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:66)            31      "Error","jrpp-198","02/19/04","14:03:38","unFranchiseMX"," The specific sequence of files included or processed is: D:\wwwroot\unFranchise\index.cfm "

Thanks Dave Here is the scenario with our Client Scope variables 1. I added  an additional  field in CGlobal Table for Client Variables on SQL Server.     CountID (This is just an Identity field that increments automatically) 2. I am not using CFMX to Purge the Data, rather i have a SQL Server Job    running every hour to clear the data.    e.g.   delete from CGLOBAL where LVisit < dateAdd(hh, -2, getDate())   and also clearing the CData Table 3. We have some other sites that run under the same domain..    e.g.    site 1. www.abc.com    site 2. mx.abc.com    Since they are all the same domains, the user can go site 1, get a cfID and cfToken    and come to visit site 2. Now site 2 will Not issue another cfID and cfToken    but will try to use the Existing BROWSER cfid and cfToken..    This seems to create these records in the Client DB like    2696:f5fea7511ae896db-CF05F70C-9CDF-54E1-67021398B69FAC78          2697:97884d334feb117a-CF064A7B-A65C-B085-9641B87C9CDD73AE    2639:44849791    The First 2 were Generated by the New ColdFusion MX J2EE Box, but the last   one was generated from a CF 5.0 Box using a Completely different Client Database. It seems like the above No 3 might be the problem, Or No 1/No 2? I am using the cfID and cfToken for Browser Sessions only, i know you can specify a domain but the domain is all the same.. Can you specify something like domain="mx.abc.com"? and Re Generate cfID's and cfTokens? Appreciate your help. Thanks, Joe Eugene   > I am getting the below in a New Application.

> It seems like the above No 3 might be the problem, Or > No 1/No 2? I've never added an identity field to either of the CF-generated client variable tables, so I don't know if that could cause problems, although it seems unlikely. You can safely purge client data from SQL directly, too. > I am using the cfID and cfToken for Browser Sessions > only, i know you can specify a domain but the domain > is all the same.. Can you specify something like > domain="mx.abc.com"? and Re Generate cfID's and cfTokens? You can write the cookies yourself, rather than using CFAPPLICATION to do so.

I think i finally found where the problem is... We have another server (CF 5.0) using <CFApplication setDomainCookies="Yes" ....> for some Unknown Process. Well the above creates a CFMAGIC Cookie and this seems to Conflict when the Client Session is created on the CFMX Application and its seems to switch the CFID's and CFTokens with the ones in CFMAGIC. I have tried to Delete the CFMAGIC Cookie and it doesnt seem to work unless you physically delete it from the browser. Anybody know a work around this?

You mean you can't do something like this within your code? <cfif IsDefined("Cookie.CFMAGIC")>   <cfcookie name="CFMAGIC" value="" expires="NOW"> </cfif> If not, you might want to try specifying the appropriate DOMAIN attribute within your CFCOOKIE tag.

Without the domain, CF 5.0 wouldnt delete the cookie at all. Specifying the domain helped it from creating Duplicate Client CFID's And CFToken's but now CFMX doesnt seem to ReCreate the CFID's and CFToken's but rather uses the existing one. This is quite confusing .. appreciate any input/help.

Here's a suggestion. You could set another cookie upon entry to your application. If that cookie doesn't exist already, delete the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies.
