Thank Ian!

I incorrectly worded my question. I don't want to get rid of .cfm, just add .html. I am using Apache and edited httpd.conf by adding .html to the following line:

AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf .html

I also edited WEB-INF\web.xml with the following:

<servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_14">
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_15">
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

After making both those changes I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

As opposed? You want to stop the server from interpreting .cfm files?
Most who use this technique set it up to do both .cfm and .html! :-)

Anyways, this is not a CF admin configuration, it is a web server
configuration. That is what is determining what resource has been
requested and what to pass the request to, if anything. So your answer
is going to depend on what web server you are using, IIS vs Apache vs
something else.

I don't know off the top of my head, but I have read many postings and
blogs over the years that give a good description of the process, should
be pretty easy to find with a Google search.

P.S. Now that I think about with MX versions of ColdFusion I seem to
recall there are some cf xml configuration file modifications involved
as well.
