>> Has anyone ever gotten this to work? CFMX runs in any J2EE compliant app server. So it will work just fine in Websphere, no matter the platform, and no matter the support from Adobe.
>> Does anyone here have any experience getting CF to use Java resources on a remote server? This is the EJB technology and Websphere supports it. However, you could also run a cluster of ColdFusion servers, and gain access to the Java resources on each machine that way as well. Without knowing your specific needs and requiresments, it's hard to answer that question. Perhaps if you defined "use Java resources"... >> Am I right in my assumption that there would be a significant performance hit in doing that? Absolutely. >> ..can we do that without CF needing to sit on the same server as the Java bytecode? I'm not sure this is possible in Websphere. I know that in Jrun and Jboss, the bytecode must be on the same mounted drive as the ColdFusion server because they use a relative path to find the location. However, Websphere could be different. You say you currently have Java programmers, and I'm assuming that they are running Websphere already? Correct that assumption if need be. If that is true, then you can - forgive the euphamism - plop ColdFusion right into any existing Websphere implementation and access any Java objects that they have created. You could then use web services to share these between disparate ColdFusion servers. However, as you noted, there's a measurable performance hit in doing that. That performance hit might be acceptable depending on the use of your application. That's up to your clients. -----Original Message----- From: Peters, Christopher D. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 1:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ColdFusion Tech Talk (CF-Talk): Digest every hour Hello all. I have a very Enterprise-level question here. (Whatever that means! :) My agency has a solid investment in IBM iSeries equipment, and we have several large applications written in Java running on OS/400. ColdFusion is not supported on OS/400, but I have seen one article on the Web claiming that it will run on WebSphere on OS/400. I cannot get support from Adobe on this issue. Has anyone ever gotten this to work? Let's assume that we can't get CF running on OS/400. Does anyone here have any experience getting CF to use Java resources on a remote server? For performance reasons, I'm not sure yet if we're interested in taking the SOA approach and making the CF server consume tons of SOAP-based web services. Am I right in my assumption that there would be a significant performance hit in doing that? If CF can tap into Java objects directly and that results in better performance, can we do that without CF needing to sit on the same server as the Java bytecode? Our other option is running PHP in some kind of AIX converter on OS/400, but I'd love to continue using ColdFusion! Any solutions/suggestions involving the mangled mess of possibilities listed above would DEFINITELY be appreciated. I'm not very familiar with these low-level technology issues because I've relied on scripting languages in common configurations up to this point. Our Java programmers here scratch their heads at these questions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240416 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
