If you choose the "Multiserver" option when installing CFMX 7, it will install a full version of JRun 4, create several JRun servers, and install CFMX to one of these, which will be named "cfusion". That's all you need. > Any good how/why to tutorials that assume this is the very > first J2EE experience for a CF developer would be most appreciative. > > I am just trying to set up my box to test run some third > party Java/JSP applications in conjunction with ColdFusion > for testing and evaluation. I'm not aware of any tutorials that are specifically written for CF developers. However, anything that you find about use of and deployment on J2EE servers in general, or JRun specifically, will be useful to you. There's very little that's CF-specific about this, unless you want to deploy a Java web application in the same server instance that CFMX is using, in which case you'll need to merge deployment descriptor information and stuff like that. But if you don't need that sort of integration, you can deploy your application on a completely separate JRun server without messing around with CFMX. When you choose the Multiserver configuration described above, you will have a JRun server called "default", which is perfectly fine for this.
