Question

CF9 standard on Tomcat7

RHEL6, 64bit, w/Tomcat 7.0.22, Apache-Httpd 2.2.15, JDK 1.6.29.  I'd like to find a way to run CF9 Standard on Tomcat7 w/out using the J2EE method (which apparently requires an Enterrprise license.)  I understand I can do it via using the built-in JRun.  I thought I could simply install Tomcat, have CF9 install itself (using the installer) into Tomcat's webapps/ folder (as .../webapps/coldfusion9/) and then call it via http://locallhost/coldfusion/wwwroot/cfide/administrator/index.cfm.

If I depoly CF9 as a J2EE in Developer Mode, into the webapps folder as .../webapps/coldfusion9/, I can indeed call it via http://localhost/coldfusion9/cfide/administrator/index.cfm (same as above, but w/out a "wwwroot".)  Since I have my AJP connector configured ok and it works if I install CF9 in J2EE/Developer mode, I had hoped it'd be the same mechanism (just slightly different path addition of "wwwroot") if I deploy in "Server" mode (not multi-server mode, just plain normal server mode.)

There was reference to doing this v/Tomcat6 and needing JTA.  I haven't attempted that w/my CF9+TC7.  I was wondering if this would work, and I would prefer to do this via Tomcat rather than mod_jrun.

Thank you,

PH

    Nope, sorry, you can't do this with CF9 Standard. Enterprise Only.
