Coldfusion Enterprise and SunOne

[whgill]

Good Morning,

I have just installed Coldfusion Enterprise Version 7.0.1 on a Sun Microsystems SunFire V440 system running Solaris 9 with SunOne V6.1 WebServer software. What I'm after is completely independent installations of Coldfusion for each of my virtual servers running within SunOne (Each server on a different IP address - all on the same physical system). from what I am reading in the install guide and notes, and items I have found on the support site, I can/should be able to do this - HOWEVER - I keep seeing references to working with the EAR or WAR files. I know for a fact that SunOne can handle deployment of WAR files as we've done this here without problem. Further, I realize that we can't use EAR files with that particular version of our Web Server. Version 7 of SunOne is supposed to have this - but that is not in full release production yet. What I have found are numerous references to using the EAR files with a "J2EE" server, and further mention of Macromedia (Adobe) JRUN4 software. In reviewing what I have with the Enterprise edition of Coldfusion, it would appear that I do have JRUN4 software.

So my questions are:
1) WIth all of the software within the Coldfusion Enterprise Server, do I not already have a fully functional J2EE server that I use to deploy the EAR files so that Coldfusion will work in that manner that I wish?

2) If not, will the WAR files install correctly in SunOne webserver V6.1?

3) Are there any help files/"how to" files on correct deployment of Coldfusion with SunOne?

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Howard

Correct.

But you do not have a production ready Web Server; which is probably why you
want to use the SunOne Web Server.

I don't think the SunOne Application (J2EE) Server is supported.

If your wish is dev/proto only, then yes. CF ships with a built-in development
only purpose web server.


Basically, the install goes something like... install your web server, install cfmx,
run wsconfig.jar to point your webserver to cfmx.

There are so many different configuration options that you will want to read
the docs on Adobe's site.

Good luck!
