INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9

Installing Integrated Technologies

Last updated 1/20/2012

5 Copy the following SWC libraries from lcds_install_root/resources/frameworks to the ColdFusion9 directory:

• /libs/fds.swc file to the /WEB-INF/flex/libs directory

• /libs/player/playerfds.swc file to the /WEB-INF/flex/libs/player/ directory

• /locale/en_US/fds_rb.swc file over the /WEB-INF/flex/locale/en_US/ directory

Now, you can either use new Enhanced Flash Remoting of ColdFusion9 or Old Flash Remoting (ColdFusion8).

The advantages of using new Enhanced Flash Remoting include:

• Enhanced Flash Remoting supports circular references for objects, which are not supported in old Flash Remoting

(ColdFusion 8).

• Enhanced Flash Remoting is significantly faster than the old Flash Remoting.

For ColdFusion 8 Flash Remoting:

1 Copy your ColdFusion 8 WEB-INF/flex/ *.xml config files to ColdFusion 9 WEB-INF/flex/ folder

2 Start ColdFusion server.

For Enhanced Flash Remoting of ColdFusion 9

1 Copy *.xml files from LCDS2.6.1_for_CF9/WEB-INF/flex directory to the ColdFusion 9 WEB-INF/flex/ directory.

2 If your LiveCycle Data Services applications use the RTMP channel, open the ColdFusion WEB-INF/flex/services-

config.xml file and uncomment "cf-rtmp" channel. By default, it is commented.

3 If your old channels (in service-config.xml) has the <instantiate-types> present under <serialization> xml tag, then

either remove <instantiate-types>, or set it to true. Also set the <enable-small-messages> to false.

Either of the following samples of the <serialization> constructs is expected at channel level. Sample 1:

<instantiate-types>true</instantiate-types>

<enable-small-messages>false</enable-small-messages>

</serialization>

Sample 2:

<enable-small-messages>false</enable-small-messages>

</serialization>

Even if you bypass the XML-based channel configurations and create a custom channel as shown in the following

client side code, you must set “enableSmallMessages” flag to false.

<mx:ChannelSet id="myChannelSet" >

<mx:channels>

<mx:AMFChannel enableSmallMessages="false"

url="http://localhost:8500/flex2gateway/cfamfpolling" id="cfAMFPolling"

pollingEnabled="true" pollingInterval="8"/>

</mx:channels>

</mx:ChannelSet>

4 Add your data management destinations from the old file to the new data-management-config.xml file. In

ColdFusion 9 release, there are a few changes in the destination and channel structure due to changes in the

serialization process.

The following properties have been moved from destination to channel level. You need to move these properties under

<channel-definition >
