Question
CF8 with remote IIS - 2 Quick Questions
All,
For the past couple of days we have been re-designing a clients systems architecture. I come from a J2EE background and would like to understand a few things in CF8 / Jrun4
The systems model we are looking at is HLB IIS Web Servers and JRUN multiple instances likely clustered (and database mirroring on the back-end as well).
The one piece that has got us a little puzzled is the where do the source CFM files need to exist. We played around a little on a single server deployment and are now moving to playing in a multi-server (so separate IIS Web server and JRun/CF server) to better understand the CF - Jrun - IIS relationship.
The two quick questions I have are:
a) Is there a simple install I can run on the IIS web server so that I can get the JRun connectors installed easily? some people say just run the complete CF8 install and disable the services but I would prefer to simply install the connector software (I believe this would be the configuration tool & IIS Dll's)?
b) Where do we need to put the source code (CFM,CFC etc)? If the answer is IIS Web Server is there anyway to keep them only on the JRun server (i would expand the ISAPI filtering to have ALL content delivered by JRun --> os include htm, gif etc). Also from a processing perspective is the source CFM file passed to JRun everytime or only once (and compiled to javabyte code) and the next time nothing is passed except variables?! Is there any point in deploying a CAR file into the instance?! On our single server setup it seemed like the CF instance was still looking at the IIS www-root.....
Also anyone who can share their experience in such a configuration would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Daniel
