Hi Edward, You are trying to invoke the java class "application.TextExtractor" which is not part of the standard java class library (those all start with java.something or javax.something typically). The only other possibility is that this class is included as part of CF8, as a sanity check I tested a CF8 server with your code and got: Object Instantiation Exception. Class not found: application.TextExtractor as expected.
So you MUST have at some point put a jar file or some .class files into your classpath on the CF8 server. Even if your Java class path entry is empty in the CF administrator you still could have put the class or jar files in some locations such as WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes which would cause them to be picked up automatically by the classloader. Do a double check on your CF8 server and I think you will find the java code you are missing. -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubESB87vl5U - FuseGuard your CFML in 10 minutes On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 5:25 AM, Edward Chanter <firew...@cc.uk.com> wrote: > > Dear Java Gurus, > > I'm using some java to do text extraction, it was built on CF8 running on > linux but we recently moved to a new CF10 server running on windows.
