3 On the JVM Settings tab, add the following system properties:
Name java.awt.graphicsenv
Value com.gp.java2d.ExGraphicsEnvironment
4 Click Advanced JVM Settings.
5 In the Boot Classpath (Append) field, type the following:
cf_root/WEB-INF/lib/webchartsJava2D.jar
6 Click OK on the Advanced JVM Settings page.
7 Click OK.
You can now use ColdFusion MX charting and graphing without any errors.
Supporting messages from a POP mail server (pre-FixPak 4)
WebSphere 4 prior to Fixpack 4 uses JavaMail 1.1, and the
cfpop tag does not work with this
version. To remedy this, install IBM WebSphere 4 Fixpack 4.
Disabling RDS after installation
For security reasons, Macromedia recommends that you disable RDS on a production server. If
you install and enable RDS support, you can disable it later.
Note: If you disable RDS, the Browse Server button does not work in the ColdFusion MX
Administrator (for example, on the ColdFusion Mappings page).
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.
