    First time listening to your podcast!
  2. Dave Ferguson Says:
    @Ravi Thanks for listening.

    Hi Dave,

    Your buddy Pete Freitag shows how to get server host name via Java
    http://www.petefreitag.com/item/97.cfm

    This is useful when having multiple CF instances in a cluster.

    You mentioned the the new HSQL stuff opens you up to attack. How? You can write queries with unbound params in both script and tag based versions. (cfqueryparam is supported in this new 901 thing) So it isn't any more safe/unsafe.
  5. Dave Ferguson Says:
    @ray What I was attempting to state is that ORM itself has a natural protection against sql injection. When you start writing HSQL you loose that protection. If you are writing HSQL inside cfquery you are now back to the same level protection with basic queries. If the programmer does not use cfqueryparam they are potentially exposed to injection. I did not mean to say, or insinuate, that HSQL inside cfquery is less secure.
  6. Raymond Camden Says:
    I'm confused - are you saying HQL by itself is dangerous, or writing HQL in tags?
  7. Dave Ferguson Says:
    HQL, just like inline SQL is dangerous if written incorrectly. Regardless of where it is written.
  8. Raymond Camden Says:
    Ok. THe impression I got - and I probably just mishead you, was that you were saying this _new_ type of writing HQL was dangerous.

    So outside of that - while I agree with you - we kinda build our lifes on building web apps, and dynamic queries are a part of life. You will never get away from them - even with ORM. :)

    Damn, I get behind in listening to this podcast and they then go a put links to posts on my blog. Better get my arse in gear and catch up on the ones I've missed ;)
