ADOBE COLDFUSION 8

Installing and Using ColdFusion

Deploying ColdFusion 8 on Oracle Application Server 10g

The following instructions assume that you installed the J2EE configuration of ColdFusion 8 and that the EAR

file to deploy is under C:\ColdFusion_J2ee\cfusion.ear.

Before you deploy ColdFusion on Oracle 10g, ensure that the following is true:

• Oracle Application Server 10g is installed and running.

• You set up an OC4J J2EE container for the ColdFusion installation. Adobe recommends that you create an

OC4J instance for ColdFusion to avoid potential classpath issues with other applications.

• (Recommended, but not required) You created an OC4J instance. To do so, connect to the Oracle Application

Server using Enterprise Manager and create a new OC4J instance. By default the HTTP URL is

http://machineName:1810. If 1810 is unavailable, the next available port in sequential order is used.

• You increased the heap size to at least 256 MB (although 512 MB is preferred). To do so, select the OC4J

instance in Enterprise Manager, and select Administration / Server Properties. Under the Command Line

Options category, add -Xmx256M to the Java Options, and then restart the OC4J instance.

Deploy ColdFusion 8 on Oracle 10g

1 Ensure that the application server and the OC4J instance are running.

2 Open a Windows command prompt and go to the oracle_root/dcm/bin directory.

3 Deploy the ColdFusion 8 application by using the command-line tool dcmctl.bat, as follows:

Dcmctl deployapplication -application cf_app -file c:\ColdFusion_J2ee\cfusion.ear -

component oc4j_instance

4 Edit the oracle_root/j2ee/oc4j_instance/config/java2.policy file by adding the following to the end of the file:

grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; };

5 Start the ColdFusion Administrator, which runs the Configuration and Settings Migration Wizard.

Note: To enable Livecycle Data Services ES on Oracle AS, you must specify the following JVM argument in the

ColdFusion Administrator:

-Doc4j.jmx.security.proxy.off=true

You must perform some configuration steps to enable support for CFX tags written in C++, which binary files that

are specific to your operating system.

Configure operating system-specific binary support for Windows

Connect to Oracle AS 10g using Enterprise Manager.

2 Go to oc4j_instance/Administration/Server Properties.
