configuration not listed here, BlueDragon/J2EE will allow you to run your CFML

applications on that configuration.

For information about BlueDragon/J2EE, see the document, Deploying CFML on J2EE

Application Servers.

3.1.1 JDK Requirements

BlueDragon Server and Server JX for Windows and Linux are bundled with JDK 1.4.2,

and for those editions that is the only JDK version we will support. When installed on

Mac OS X, these editions require JDK 1.4.x as well.

If you require support for an earlier JDK, consider the BlueDragon/J2EE edition. This

will run on JDK 1.3 (or whatever JDK your J2EE server will support). Be aware,

however, that our support for encrypted templates (see the BlueDragon 6.1 User Guide)

requires the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE):

http://java.sun.com/products/jce/index.jsp

You can use precompiled templates without the JCE; you just can't encrypt them unless

the JCE is installed (the JCE is included with JDK 1.4).

3.2 Running Alongside ColdFusion and Servlet/JSP

Engines

You can install BlueDragon Server and Server JX on a machine already having

ColdFusion 5, ColdFusion MX, or other Servlet/JSP engines installed. The only concern

is web server integration and/or port selection for the built-in web server (as discussed in

the following sections).

If you have another ColdFusion or Servlet/JSP engine installed and configured to

integrate with an external web server, be aware that installing BlueDragon and choosing

to integrate it with that web server will take over relevant extension mappings: .cfm,

.cfml, and .cfc extensions (and .jsp extensions in Server JX).

Additionally, if you’re using a web server that permits multiple virtual hosts (including

iPlanet and Apache, as well as IIS running under a Server edition of Windows), you can

configure different hosts to respond to requests for CFML files, and the BlueDragon

feature for adding a web server adapter on these servers can detect and offer to configure

individual virtual hosts. See Section 3.7 for additional information on configuring web

server adapters.

Yet another solution is to configure the web server to identify different virtual directories

to serve CFML out of a single physical directory but directed against either of multiple

CFML servers installed on the machine. For more information, see the article, “Setting

Up Your Development Server with ColdFusion 5, MX, and BlueDragon”, in the

September 2003 edition of ColdFusion Developers Journal, which is available online at

http://sys-con.com/coldfusion/article.cfm?id=647.
