ColdFusion J2EE deployment and configuration
The J2EE specification allows application servers to handle compressed and expanded deployments in a server-dependent manner; each application server has its own deployment and configuration mechanism, as the following table shows:
|
Application server |
Deployment mechanism |
Expanded or compressed deployment |
|---|---|---|
|
JRun 4 |
Auto deploy to server root or deploy using the JRun Administrative Console |
Expanded |
|
IBM WebSphere |
IBM WebSphere Administrative Console |
Compressed |
|
BEA WebLogic |
Weblogic Administration Console/Auto deploy to server domains |
Expanded |
|
Oracle Application Server 10g |
OracleAS Enterprise Manager Console |
Compressed |
|
JBOSS Application Server |
Auto deploy to server root |
Expanded |
For basic deployment information, see your J2EE application server documentation. ColdFusion deployment instructions differ for each J2EE application server. For more information, see the following:
- Deploying ColdFusion 8 on JRun 4
- Deploying ColdFusion 8 on IBM WebSphere
- Deploying ColdFusion 8 on BEA WebLogic
- Deploying ColdFusion 8 on Oracle Application Server 10g
- Deploying ColdFusion 8 on JBoss Application Server
