INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9

Installing the J2EE Configuration

Last updated 1/20/2012

cd cfusion-ear

java_home/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.ear

This expands the cfusion.ear file into cfusion.war and rds.war (rds.war is not included if you specified a context root

of / when you ran the installation wizard).

3 In cfusion-ear, make a new directory named cfusion-war.

md cfusion-war (mkdir cfusion-war on UNIX)

4 Change to the cfusion-war directory and expand the cfusion.war file with the jar command:

cd cfusion-war

java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.war

This expands the cfusion.war file.

5 (If rds.war exists) Go up one level to cfusion-ear, make a new directory named rds-war.

cd ..

md rds-war (mkdir rds-war on UNIX)

6 (If rds.war exists) Change to the rds-war directory and expand rds.war with the jar command:

cd rds-war

java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../rds.war

This expands rds.war.

7 Go up one level to the cfusion-ear file, and delete the cfusion.war and rds.war files:

cd ..

del cfusion.war (rm cfusion.war on UNIX)

del rds.war (rm rds.war on UNIX)

8 Open the cfusion-ear/META-INF/application.xml file in a text editor.

9 Change the web-uri element from cfusion.war to cfusion-war (or the name of the directory that contains the

expanded cfusion.war file). Change the

web-uri element for rds.war to rds-war. A directory name in the web-uri

element cannot contain a dot.

10 Save the application.xml file.

On WebSphere ND, deploying multiple application server clones on a single computer is commonly referred to as

vertical clustering. Vertical clustering leverages the computer's processing power to obtain a higher level of

efficiency; however, if there is total computer failure, no application server instances are available. The applications

deployed in a vertical cluster share the same file system. Deploying the multiple application servers on multiple

computers is commonly referred as horizontal clustering; it provides the highest level of failover and scaling. The

steps you perform to deploy ColdFusion 9 in a clustered environment are the same, regardless of clustering method,

because the WebSphere Network Deployment Manager manages the cluster.

To use LiveCycle Data Services ES, you must be running WebSphere 5.1.1 Business Integration.

Deploy ColdFusion 9 on WebSphere 5.1 or 6.1

1 Start the IBM WebSphere Application Server, if it is not running.

2 Open the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console, if it is not running.

3 Select Applications > Install New Application.

4 When the Preparing for the Application Installation page appears, in the text box for the local file system, enter the

path to the EAR file that you installed when you installed ColdFusion; for example, C:\ColdFusion9\cfusion.ear.
