Hello Matt,

in...and that's thousands. So, things need to be able to coexist and
installing multiple web servers is not an acceptable option by the IT/IS
shop since then they would have to allow that for everybody. Which could
get enormous. So, is there any now, or going to be, support by Orion for
CF? A config similar to Apache, which we use now, would be ideal.
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...
