I am suggesting you put all your code in an EAR file and leave it there. Whether you create your instances under /jrun/servers/ or not is up to you. > Right now, all my cfml is on an entirely separate drive.

Our scenario is designed to make it hard to mess with the contents of the application and change files. You get one EAR file, not a bunch of ..cfm/cfc files. And changing individual files is a bit hard if they are all compiled. We have had too many issues with people that alter our applications. > From my experiences so > far, creating and deploying WARs seems to be a very time consuming > process. Depends on your definition of long. Generating an EAR straight from source control takes about 80 seconds for uncompiled and 120 seconds for compiled applications. For the more complicated applications running automated regression tests easily takes several hours. Deployment on a three node cluster takes 2 minutes if it is an incompatible change (old and new version can not be active at the same time due to incompatible database schema's) or up to an hour if we do a slow and controlled update of the cluster where we update one instance at a time. But our scenario is designed with a clearly different goal.
