Enabling and configuring specific ColdFusion MX functionality 27
To disable RDS, you must do the following:
• Disable the ColdFusion MX web module RDS Servlet. Doing so ensures that ColdFusion MX
cannot respond to any RDS requests.
• If your ColdFusion MX application context root is not /, disable or undeploy the RDS
redirector web module. (For a description of the module, see “Using RDS” on page 50.)
Disabling the RDS Servlet
To disable the RDS Servlet:
1 Back up the ColdFusion web module web.xml file.
By default, this file is in the cf_root\WEB-INF directory in Windows, and the cf_root/WEB-
INF directory on UNIX.
2 Open the original web.xml file for editing.
3 Comment out the RDS Servlet definition, as follows:
<!--
<servlet id="macromedia_servlet_8789">
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>Apache-Axis Servlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param id="InitParam_103401311065856789">
<param-name>servlet.class</param-name>
<param-value>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
-->
Note: Some of the text in the servlet definition might vary.
4 Comment out the RDS Servlet mapping, as the following example shows:
<!--
<servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_5">>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
-->
Note: The servlet-mapping id value might vary.
5 Save the file.
RDS is disabled on the ColdFusion MX server.
Disabling the RDS redirector
Use the following procedure to disable the RDS redirector web module.
To disable the RDS web module:
1 In the WebSphere Administrative Console, select Node_name > Applications > Enterprise
Applications.
2 Stop the Macromedia ColdFusion MX application if it is running.
3 Click the Macromedia ColdFusion MX Application link to display the Configuration page,
then select the Local Topologies tab.
