Hello All, The company i work for currently runs CFMX v. 6 on Weblogic 8.1 / Java 1.4 on Solaris, alongside a number of "regular" java web apps. We are starting a project to upgrade to Weblogic 9.2 on Java 1.5, and i have been tasked with looking into the question "which version of CF should we use?"
I've done a few Google searches and taken a look around the Adobe site, but i thought i'd ask the members of this site for any input they may have. So far, here's what i have found: The latest version of CF as of this writing - v7 - supports Weblogic 7 and 8. I haven't found any specific page on the adobe site saying "CFMX 7 doesn't support Weblogic 9", but the company i work for is *very* conservative: in the absence of a page saying that Weblogic 9.2 is supported, they won't go near it. From various posts here and elsewhere on the list, i understand that some people have been able to run CFMX 7 on Weblogic 9.x with various degrees of success. Beyond the question of Weblogic version, there is the matter of JVM version support. Once again, it would seem that cfmx *can* run (with some limitations) under java 1.5, but that this configuration is not officially supported. The next version of CFMX - v8 - will support java 1.5, but i have not been able to find any information as to whether it will officially support Weblogic 9.x or not. The time line is about right for us: should be released in the middle of this year. Finally, i have found a company - www.eknowlogie.com - which claims to have: "...a software transformation tool to automatically migrate ColdFusion applications to Java J2EE (including ColdFusion 5.0 and MX). The Migrator [sic] will re-architect the original monolithic ColdFusion application into a modular Model-View-Controller (MVC) application framework using Struts and JSP." This sounds a bit like snake oil to me, but if it works it would be a great win for us, since "Struts and JSP" is how all the other java based web apps around here work. So that's where i'm at for now: 1) Might work with cfmx 7, but not supported. 2) Will most likely work with CFMX 8, but no information of whether it will be officially supported (the Weblogic 9.2 bit, not the java 1.5 bit). 3) Some kind of one time automated migration to "regular" java web app code. Any thoughts from the list? Comments?
