CFX tag with DLL files

dev google-group-archive
1

In my understanding, it is not possible to have a custom tag with DLL files
?
I used “cfx_imagecr3.dll” file as a custom tag under ColdFusion.

I know I can use the CF image tags, but I have many old sites to rewrite
the code.
(new site use the CF tags)

Just wondering if I will have to do that job or if there is an alternative
to use
a DLL file as a custom tag Under Lucee ?

Thanks for answer.

Thanks for your answer.
I just try : /lucee/admin/server.cfm?action=resources.cfx_tags&
enable=cfxcpp
(server scope)
Lucee Admin did well record the DLL CFX tag

But when using it in a cfm program, Tomcat service stopped,
The page could not be displayed.

It seems , it is not far …
Let me know if any idea or news about this functionnality.

C++ CFX tags are not, technically, supported - In Railo 3.x and 4.x there
was a beta to include CFX tags (and cfx_image was the C++ implementation
they were working with during beta). You can get Lucee to still allow you
to include C++ tags by appending ‘&enable=cfxcpp’ to the url, as in:

/lucee/admin/web.cfm?action=resources.cfx_tags&enable=cfxcpp

I haven’t tried it in Lucee personally, so I make no guarantees… but it
is worth a shot. Please report back your findings :slight_smile:

Hi Pierre,

CFX customtags work in general, I tried it with some different CFX_ c++
customtags a while ago, even with one built by my own.
However, most C++ customtags are built as 32 bit DLLs. Those DLLs will not
work on a 64 bit Java environment but only on 32 bit Java. So you might
need to replace the underlying Java-engine to run those tags, and will
loose the benefits of a 64 bit environment.

Hi Michael,
I tried again the Efflare CFX image tag.
I have a 64bits version (from Efflare, some years ago) on a 64bits
environnent.
When saving the CFX, it is OK in Lucee admin.
Then I got same result.
Page connot be displayed.
And I have no error message, so I do not see where to look for diagnostic.
the only thing I see is : Tomcat service is stopped

This is the only CFX (C++) tag which I used.
