Ajas, just to clarify: if all you wanted was to "test some JSP pages", you never needed to bother with the second install. The base version you installed would have worked. (JSPs can be run by CF in the Enterprise, but not the Standard, edition. That's about editions, not how it's installed. And the free Developer edition is the same as Enterprise, just limited to localhost and a couple of IPs.) That said, you do now have 2 versions of CF installed, one as the standalone (or "Server") configuration, and the other as the MultiServer config. Both are built atop JRun. It's just that the second exposes it more obviously. In both configs, again, an instance of JRun underlies each and it can process both CFML and JSP pages. The JSP pages are just processed directly like any Servlet Engine, while the CFML pages are run by CF's first processing them and turning them into Java bytecode which runs atop the CF engine's runtime. That helps answer your 3rd question: while you can indeed deploy CF apps as a J2EE web app on "another machine" (on pretty much any other J2EE server, including JRun), the CFML code is not "just" bytecode but bytecode that calls libraries that are part of CF. The bundled J2EE web app does indeed include all that you need. So you don't need a "CF Server" installed on that "other machine". But you do need a license to run that CF server implementation that's inside the J2EE web app. (In other words, it's not free to deploy your CF code as a J2EE web app.) As for docs, you can certainly see the CF documentation. (It fascinates me that people seem to always want to google and/or ask on a list before just reading the docs. That's no offense to you, Ajas. Just an observation/lament about human nature.) There's more than "just a reference manual". What you want is in the "Installing and Using ColdFusion MX" manual, in the section, "Installing the J2EE Configuration", as well as in the manual, "Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX", in the section "Deploying ColdFusion Applications". The use of JSPs is in the "ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide" manual, in the section "Integrating J2EE and Java Elements in CFML Applications". You can find the docs online at livedocs.macromedia.com or in downloadable form at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/. I also wrote about the notion of running CFML code as a J2EE web app in an April 2004 CFDJ article, "Making the Case for CFML on J2EE", available at http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/read/44481.htm. /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 5:11 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Installed CF 7 multi server config over Server config...Not sure what I have now??? Hi, I had installed CF7 Developer edition with Server configuration (first option available) and configured it with IIS webserver and everythings fine. Since I wanted to test some JSP pages and wanted to see if I can host them with CF7, I started installer for CF 7 Developer edition but this time installer disabled Server config(first option) since its already installed and I selected the second option i.e. MultiServer Config which installs JRUN 4 during the installation. The installation went fine and after the completion I think I was asked to run Jrun Launcher or soemthing like that. Anyway, everything went on fine but the question which bothers me now is what do I have installed in terms of CF server??? 1)Do I have seperate instance of CF 7 Server config & a seperate instance of CF7 as a multiserver? 2) Can I run some cfm pages with CF7 server and some jsp & cfm pages wtih mulitserver? Which server is processing my cfm pages? Is it Server Configuration or JRUN configuration? 3) I read about CF application deployed as war or ear. I know little about deploying. For example theres a folder structure web-inf etc. Is it saying that cfm pages can be deployed on J2EE server without CF server or Jrun installed on that machine/server? Is it doable? 4) any good info or article to get started with knowing the folder structure for ear or war deploy? basic stuff would really help. 5) can we process jsp pages with cf 7 server installation only i.e first type of installation??
