Archive and deployment options
ColdFusion MX 7 includes the following archive and deployment options.
ColdFusion archive files You can package your ColdFusion application’s pages, data sources
and settings in a ColdFusion Archive (CAR) file. For more information, see “Packaging
applications in CAR files” on page 79.
J2EE archives You can package your ColdFusion application as an Enterprise Application
Archive (EAR) or Web Application Archive (WAR) file for easy deployment to a J2EE application
server. For more information, see “Packaging applications in J2EE archive files” on page 80.
Cfcompile utility The cfcompile utility lets you precompile your application’s ColdFusion
pages into Java class files. In addition you can compile ColdFusion pages to bytecode and save this
bytecode in files with the CFM, CFC, or CFR extension. For more information, see “Using the
cfcompile utility” on page 82.
Packaging applications in CAR files
CAR files let you archive and deploy website configuration information, files, and applications.
Use this feature to deploy your website applications to another location or to back up your files
quickly and easily. You manage CAR files using the Packaging & Deployment > ColdFusion
Archives area of the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
Note: CAR file archiving and deployment is different from J2EE archiving and packaging through
EAR and WAR files.
