Drop your war or ear file in the /server/all/farm directory on one of the JBoss instances, that takes care of it for you. It will deploy the file to all the members of the cluster. However if you're generating files using CFFile etc., you're going to have to have roll out your own or see if there are any commercial apps that can do that. >> If you need load balancing and failover then you can add Apache and mod_jk >> to handle that. > > >AJP is where it's at, hombre. :-) > >I'm really loving having static stuff just served up by apache and only >ringing CF when there's some thinking to be done. > [snip] > At this point, so much is being handled by specialized software, I could >probably use just about anything.

If any framework uses some of the "undocumented" CF API's (ie., the java objects associated with coldfusion.server.serviceFactory) then obviously it won't work.
