CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION 9

Deploying ColdFusion Applications

Last updated 2/21/2012

Deployment considerations

After the archive file is created, you deploy by using standard ColdFusion J2EE configuration deployment techniques.

For more information, see Installing an EAR file or WAR files in Installing the J2EE Configuration of Installing

ColdFusion.

Post-deployment considerations

Depending on your application, the resources that it uses, and the environment in which it is deployed, you may need

to perform post-deployment configuration, as follows:

Mappings The ColdFusion mappings in the archived application refer to directories on the original computer. If those

directories do not exist on the deployment computer, modify the ColdFusion mappings by using the ColdFusion

Administrator or the Administrator API.

Verity Ensure that the Verity server settings on the original computer are appropriate for the deployment computer.

If they are not, use the ColdFusion Administrator or the appropriate tags to modify the Verity server settings.

Serial number J2EE deployment is a ColdFusion Enterprise feature. To upgrade to the Enterprise Edition, use the

ColdFusion Administrator or the Administrator API to enter a serial number.

For more information on the Administrator API, see “Administrator API” on page 30.

Using the cfcompile utility

You can use the cfcompile utility for the following purposes:

Precompiling ColdFusion pages Precompile your application’s CFM pages into Java class files. At runtime,

ColdFusion does not have to compile CFM pages.

Sourceless distribution Create CFM pages as Java bytecode. You can deploy these CFM pages instead of CFML source

code.

The cfcompile utility is located in the cf_root/bin (server configuration) or cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/bin

(multiserver and J2EE configuration) directory.

Before you can use the cfcompile utility in the J2EE configuration, set the CFUSION_HOME, J2EEJAR, and WEBINF

variables in the cfcompile.sh/cfcompile.bat file.

Precompiling ColdFusion pages

You can use the cfcompile utility to precompile ColdFusion pages (CFM, CFC, and CFR files). This can enhance

initial page loading time at runtime.

Use the following command to compile ColdFusion pages into Java classes:

Include CFML Source You can optionally deploy Java bytecode instead of CFML source code. For more information, see

“Sourceless distribution” on page 74.

ColdFusion Administrator If your application does not require modification by using the ColdFusion Administrator, you can reduce

archive size and reduce security issues by omitting the Administrator files.

Data sources Specifies the data source definitions to include in the archive file.
