DSN Deployment across JRun4 (J2EE) Config

  Howdy,

  I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to deploy Datasources across multiple JRun4 instances of CF8.  Should I keep pursuing the full "ColdFusion8 as an application" deployment method, or is there a smaller, more modular way to address just DSN updates?  The reason being, I would be using similar DSNs across multiple physical servers, and it would save a lot of manpower to update it once and then auto-deploy across all servers.

    It is possible to get just the DSN information using the "Deployment and Archive" feature to create a "CAR" ColdFusion Archive file that can be deployed on other servers.

    It is possible to get just the DSN information by copying the relevant *neo.xml files from one server to another server and restarting the second server.

    One of those options may be of use to you.
