Good luck, Steve -----Original Message----- From: Cliff Meyers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 8:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: adminapi and j2ee packaging Steve, I suppose now that I've thought about it more it does make sense: using Ant to build the .war files from .cfm template collections should work fine provided that you give Ant the correct classpaths it needs to find all the Java libraries that implement the CF runtime. Although it violates my sense of a truly "clean" deployment where each ..war takes exactly what it needs, I'm not too worried that there are extra datasources and such in the .war file. We'll likely be doing sourceless deployment anyways which means that if anyone were to try and edit code on our test, QA, stage or production servers that they'd have a heck of a time :) In the end I think I'll be very happy to use Ant. We are a pretty large shop with many, many Java developers that have expertise in these sorts of things. We're in the process of shifting all our developers over to a local CF developer edition and then using Subversion for version control (finally). The new features available in CF7 gave me an opportunity to find a more regimented technique for building out of SVN.
