Hi Jeff,
Basically you just need to get the .jar into the CFMX classpath so it is
loaded at start up. You can do it by putting the jar file in that folder
(often the WEB-INF is in C:\CFusion\wwwroot || /opt/coldfusionmx/wwwroot
I think - somewhere there abouts anyway. Another way is to put the jar
file any place you like and add it to the class path setting in
administrator. That should work most of the time (unless the jar file is
needed by cfmx I believe.
Once the jar is in the class path, it will be loaded when you start cfmx
(tomcat or whatever). The jar files classes can then be created with the
createObject family
