for cf7/cf8 iText is already "installed" (iText powers cfdocument, etc.) but it's a way older version than bruno's latest & greatest. i'd try running your code first on your production box & if it all goes ok "as is" then you're good to go (i'm guessing this is the case if you're already running iText on your dev box, unless you did one of the following, you're already using cf's installed version). if you get errors that look like version differences then what you do next depends on whether you want to keep cfdocument, cfreport, etc. working on that server: - if you do (and who doesn't), i'd suggest using mark mandel's javaLoader: http://javaloader.riaforge.org/ to "load" the iText jar instead of a straight createObject() call (we use this technique all over the place). this method is also nice in that it plays well on shared hosts & you can load up different versions of jars w/out having to stop/re-start anything. - if you don't, find cf's iText.jar (depending on server type, usually in <cfinstall>\cfusion\lib), stop the cfserver service & copy your version of iText over it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
