The ColdFusion J2EE configuration must run from an expanded directory structure. Different J2EE
application servers have different functionality with regard to deployment and an expanded directory
structure, as follows:
Deploy compressed archive to working directory. On some J2EE application servers (such as IBM
WebSphere), the deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a working directory and, from that point
forward, the expanded directory is considered to be the application. For these application servers, you deploy
the compressed EAR/WAR file and work in the resulting directory structure. For more information, see ColdFu
section in this page.sion J2EE deployment and configuration
Deploy expanded archive as working directory On other application servers (such as Oracle
WebLogic), the deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a temporary directory and
(conceptually), the compressed EAR/WAR file is still considered to be the application. For these
application servers, expand the EAR/WAR file manually, and then deploy the expanded directory
structure, which becomes your working directory. For more information, see ColdFusion J2EE
section in this page.deployment and configuration
Installing an EAR file or WAR files in Windows
You can install the ColdFusion J2EE configuration in Windows.
Note
The Windows installer requires a computer that supports at least 256 colors.
