Question

ColdFusion V8 and JavaRunTime version ?

I had ColdFusion V7 installed, working well,

I could declare new Datasources and browse directories through

the Java Applet.

Now , after ColdFusion V8 installed,

I cannot browse anymore directories to select my MDB files

for an access datasource.

I have the error message : Server Error , IO error on server communication.

Is this a problem with JRE environment/version ?

I have installed the lastest version : Java(TM) 6 update 24

Ans I still have the same error (even after rebooting)

I am on Windows XP pro.

Thanks for an urgent help.

No information found about JRE and Coldfusion found on Adobe website.

Or is it an other problem than JRE compatibility with CF ?

Thanks, Pierre.

This doesn't really have to do with CF, or what version of Java CF is using. It has to do with having Java installed and enabled in your browser, and having RDS enabled (I think you already have that part working).

Honestly, though, I'd recommend just typing in the file path as has been suggested.

Than for youranswer,

Everything is solved now.

I do not care doing it manually or with widget assistance,

I just want a good information (documenttaion) from ADOBE

on that part, which is not the case.

It Is not acceptable spending hours and hours on how make RDS and

the Datadource javaapplet working.

I am sure that part of pepople should through out ColdFusion because of these type of things.

But I LOVE Coldfusion, using it since 2003.

I leave in France, in France ColdFusion is almost not used at all.

Because the licence price, so Host company do not offer these option.

I am fighting for year to let ColdFuion being better know and used.

So when I failed on such smal handicaps, I do not feel comfortable to

defend ColdFusion.

Thanks to all. Anything you can do for ColdFusion will be great.

You can still type in the paths manually.

I believe the tech note below mentions the file browsing applets rely on RDS. So they do not work if it is RDS is not installed, which is common on production servers. Looks like the link is broken though ...

I am not in Production, I am in Development,

RDS is installed, with no password.

Tha JavaApplet Filetree does no work.

It worked before with V7.

One interesting thing , is that I cannot add RDS connection.

(message : the connection to the server cannot be established)

Any idea ?   I think these two problems are tied ?

If I solve the RDS connection, this should fix the problem ?

The link you mentionned is not working. (it goes to Adobe generality)

Thanks for your answer,

If you know any other way to make it work ?

(Since the beginning, I never understood why they keep this stupid Applet)

Thanks. Pierre.

Yes, like I said, unfortunately the link is broken and it is not in google cache.

If you know any other way to make it work ?

(Since the beginning, I never understood why they keep this

stupid Applet)

Sorry, I do not use RDS. But for now, why not just type in the path manually? The applet is a convenience (...or it is when it is working) but you should not need it just to enter the path to your mdb file.
