Configuring Your System
Last updated 1/20/2012
d Start Visibroker on your CORBA server.
For more information, see the Borland Visibroker documentation.
5 Restart ColdFusion for your changes to take effect.
For more information, see “Managing ColdFusion services in Windows” on page 58 and “Managing the ColdFusion
process in UNIX” on page 59.
You can now make CORBA invocations from ColdFusion. For more information about integrating CORBA objects
into ColdFusion, see the Developing ColdFusion Applications guide.
Disabling Remote Development Services
If you use Adobe Dreamweaver, Macromedia HomeSite, Adobe Flash Builder, or Eclipse to develop your applications, you
can access a remote ColdFusion server using HTTP. However, you must configure Remote Development Services (RDS)
in your integrated development environment (IDE), and RDS must be enabled in ColdFusion. Using RDS, IDE users can
securely access remote files and data sources, build SQL queries from these data sources, and debug CFML code.
Note: The ColdFusion Report Builder uses RDS for the Query Builder and for charting support.
However, for security reasons, Adobe recommends that you disable RDS on a production server. To disable it, disable
the RDSServlet mapping.
Disable the RDSServlet mapping
1 Back up the web.xml file.
This file is in the cf_root\wwwroot\WEB-INF directory in Windows and in the cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF
directory in UNIX. In the multiserver and J2EE configurations, this file is under cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF.
2 Open the original web.xml file for editing.
3 Comment out the RDSServlet mapping, as the following example shows:
<!--
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_9">
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
-->
4 Save the file.
5 Restart ColdFusion.
RDS is disabled on the ColdFusion server.
For more information, see “Managing ColdFusion services in Windows” on page 58, or “Managing the ColdFusion
process in UNIX” on page 59.
