Question

Where can I find ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_java.jar ?

In the installation documentation there is reference to installing CF on Unix (Other) by using ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_java.jar but I can't seem to find that installer file.

    Do you notice on the page that the sentence referring to that starts with: "If you are deploying the JEE configuration on a platform other than Linux or Solaris, use the ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_java.jar."

     

    So first, you have said you are on Unix, and so the second bolded point applies.

     

    But are you really "deploying the JEE configuration"? I'll clarify for readers that that is about deploying CF on some other app server (like weblogic, websphere, jetty, etc.) That's a pretty rare implementation approach, though it is indeed supported.

     

    Finally, if you really ARE wanting to deploy CF that way, can you clarify if you are saying that you found that once you went to the CF download feature (where you login, and fill out the form asking lots of questions) that then the resulting drop-down appeared and you picked Unix? If so, did you happen to notice what file WAS available to download at that point? And did you try it, even if not the same name as the doc?

    Yes Charlie, and thank you for responding. The target system is FreeBSD running WildFly as the app server. I was on that page, which lead me to this https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/installing/installing-the-jee-configuration.html. That, in turn, lead me right back where I started.

     

    My initial search for a download was through the Adobe Licensing site which only provides the standard issue Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris installers.

     

    The form that asks a bunch of questions, I assumed was the same as far as Developer or Free Trial. However, as usual with assumptions...only the Free Trial option gives the dropdown , where the Developer download automatically tosses me a win64 installer. The dropdown does not have a Java only or Unix (other) option. Only Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris and then the Japanese versions of those four.

    I don't know if cf supports freebsd. Did you try the Solaris installer? Or would it not possibly work?

     

    I will say that if you run the installer of any OS, to create the ear or war (which the jee install process creates), you SHOULD then be able to implement THAT on any OS.

     

    Otherwise, I'd think your next best bet is to reach out to cfinstal@adobe.com. They offer free install support and should be able to offer more clarification.

     

    If you learn something, pro or con, I hope you'll update folks here.
