INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9
Installing the J2EE Configuration
Last updated 1/20/2012
Enable web services
To enable web services, copy the tools.jar file from the websphere/appserver/java/lib directory to the cfusion/lib
directory.
Apply application server configuration
To apply application server configuration, restart the application server.
Configure ColdFusion 9
Ensure that the following settings and practices are in place before using WebSphere Application Server ND:
Event Gateway Ensure that the startup mode of the Socket gateway instances is set to manual. In particular, do not set
it to Automatic when using a vertical cluster. Select one of the instances in the vertical cluster and start the Socket
gateway on that instance manually.
Session Replication Either avoid ColdFusion-specific data types or serialize them to WDDX and store them in session
scope as strings.
ColdFusion Administrator:
• In a vertical cluster environment, avoid concurrent changes to the same service.
• In a horizontal cluster environment, each server has its own ColdFusion Administrator. You must make changes
once per server.
• In a vertical cluster environment, the ColdFusion Administrator scheduled tasks are scheduled on all servers.
Verity Server Only one Verity Search Server can run on each server computer.
ColdFusion Verity licensing does not allow a ColdFusion cfsearch tag to search multiple Verity Search Server
computers. For a horizontal cluster to interact with a central Verity Search Server, you must purchase K2 Enterprise
from Verity.
Solr Server Only one Solr Search Server can run on each server computer.
Compilation Use precompiled classes and ensure that the Trusted Cache setting is enabled.
