In a nutshell, you should create your working directory that contains all your source (CFML and Java), along with any configuration stuff. That's what you will be checking in and out of CVS (though I'd recommend checking out Subversion instead; it's newer, more feature rich, and easier to use). For deployment, you might be able to set up Eclipse's autodeploy features, but I think that because you're deploying to CF standalone, you'll have to do it manually with an Ant task. Set it up to copy your CFML to the web root, and compile, jar, and copy your Java classes to CF's WEB-INF/lib directory, and then restart CF. Then you can just hit the 'build' button when you want to push a change, and it'll all magically happen for you. I believe you can get around the "restart CF" part with JRun's automatic class reloading, but I've never tried it, so I can't say for sure.
Not very in-depth, but hopefully that'll give you a push in the right direction. cheers, barneyb On 3/28/06, Joelle Tegwen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to get started using ColdFusion and I'm having trouble > figuring out where to start.
