Hey All We are about to re-install CF on servers and i was trying to figure out whats the best way to config 3rd party JAR files ? We run a multi- instance enterprise installation and as far as i know there are number of ways to get a jar file into the classpath.
1. drop into WEB-INF\lib folder 2. drop into WEB-INF\cfusion\lib folder 3. edit the java.class.path property in the <JRUN_HOME>\bin\jvm.config file. 4. edit web.xml and change the cf.class.path variable 5. put the file into the <JRE_HOME>\lib\ext folder (usually only when theres a conflict with built in cf libraries ill do this) 6. Use the classloader method (but this means code changes to existing apps) Im thinking that i can set up on my server a 'C:\thirdy_party_apps\' and then put each JAR i need into this folder. This would mean i only have to put 1 entry into the cf.class.path setting in web.xml. Sometimes i have separate instances that use the same JAR, so id like an external folder if possible rather than copying files into each instance. Im just a little confused about the order that the server does the classpath lookups in I *think* it does it in this order cf.class.path (which includes the web-inf sub folders) java.class.path (defined in jvm.config) <JRE_HOME>\lib\ext Can someone confirm this ? I cant find much in the docs on it. Any thoughts on this setup ?
