How do I set Handle Unquoted Attr Value As String in application.cfc

MN-947 · February 3, 2021, 8:17pm

application.cfc

this.serialization.preserveCaseForQueryColumn = true;
this.serialization.serializeQueryAs = “struct”;
this.serialization.preserveCaseForQueryColumn = true;
this.sessionManagement = true;
this.nullSupport=true;
this.handleUnquotedAttrValueAsString=false;

The setting: handleUnquotedAttrValueAsString does not work. We are trying to spin up a docker instance but this application needs the “Unquoted Attr” setting set to false. How can we do that?

coz it’s a compiler setting, it needs to be set at the server level, as such you can’t set it via Application.cfc

          		if (obj != null) admin.updateCachedAfterTimeRange(Caster.toTimeSpan(obj));
          		else admin.updateCachedAfterTimeRange(null);
          
          
		store();
          		adminSync.broadcast(attributes, config);
          	}
          
          
	private void doUpdateCompilerSettings() throws SecurityException, PageException {
          		admin.updateCompilerSettings(getBoolObject("admin", "UpdateCompilerSettings", "dotNotationUpperCase"),
          				getBoolObject("admin", "UpdateCompilerSettings", "suppressWSBeforeArg"), getBoolObject("admin", "UpdateCompilerSettings", "nullSupport"),
          				getBoolObject("admin", "UpdateCompilerSettings", "handleUnquotedAttrValueAsString"), getInteger("admin", "UpdateCompilerSettings", "externalizeStringGTE"));
          		admin.updateTemplateCharset(getString("admin", action, "templateCharset"));
          
          
		store();
          		adminSync.broadcast(attributes, config);
          	}

So if I were to set it using cfadmin? How would I do that? Is there a better way?

<cfadmin
    action="getCompilerSettings"
    type="web"
    password="**********"
    returnVariable="admin_result" />

<cfdump var="#admin_result#" />
<cfif admin_result.handleUnquotedAttrValueAsString EQ true>
<cfadmin
    action="updateCompilerSettings"
    DotNotationUpperCase="false"
    externalizeStringGTE="-1"
    handleUnquotedAttrValueAsString="true"
    nullSupport="true"
    suppressWSBeforeArg="true"
    templateCharset="UTF-8"
    type="web"
    password="**********" />
</cfif>

This appears to be the solution.
