Hello, I hope I make you happy by saying that Cold Fusion works very fine with Orion
already. You have to do a few steps to get it to work though. We'll make this easier
soon.
When you install the Cold Fusion you select to install support for an "other" web
server. When you select the document root you have to enter it yourself
(default-site/html in the orion dir if you haven't changed anything).
Then when this is done, make sure the cfusion/bin directory is in your system path and
add the following lines to web-application.xml:
<servlet auto-reload="false">
<servlet-name>cfm</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.evermind.server.http.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>interpreter</param-name>
<param-value>cfml</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cfm</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
And all .cfm documents will work fine.
Hope this helps, this should allow you to make a nice transition to JSP without
throwing all cold fusion code out immediately...
