Re: CFMX: how to access a servlet?? (again)
Sean, I've found that after stop/starting Apache, without touching CFMX, the JRun/Apache connector keeps working as expected. I've seen this using Linux. I would expect, and in fact prefer, the same behaviour with JRun/IIS connector. I don't see as a good thing to have to start IIS before CFMX. I'm wondering if there is a config parameter for JRun/IIS connector that could change this. Maybe it's a bug, or an improvement that should be considered. Thanks, Marcello.

OK, well, that probably explains why more people hadn't reported the problem :) I figured out that we just need to make sure that the external web server is (re)started before CFMX. Interesting. If anything, I would expect the web server would need to be restarted *after* CFMX was restarted so that the JRun connector could re-establish its connection to CF (well, JRun Inside). Perhaps on Windows, IIS needs restarting first but on Solaris Apache needs restarting afterward? (which is what we do) Anyway, I'm glad you have a solution.

Re: CFMX: how to access a servlet?? (again)
Sean, there is no need to create any special mapping on the external web server to have CFMX serving servlets called via a url like http://host/myMapping/MySerlvet. Just install the CFMX JRun Connector and all the servlet mappings defined on WEB-INF/web.xml are processed by the connector, as expected. I figured out that we just need to make sure that the external web server is (re)started before CFMX. Regards, Marcello.

Re: CFMX: how to access a servlet?? (again)
Sean, afaik your suggestion only applies to IIS application mappings, which is based on file extensions. I think the problem here is that the CFMX JRun Connector for IIS is not intercepting urls like http://host/servlet/MyServlet and http://host/myMapping/MySerlvet. The same is probably occurring with the JRun Connector for Apache. When using the CFMX internal web server, the servlet mappings declared on the web.xml config file are being processed as expected, and it's possible to call a servlet using a url like http://host:8500/myMapping/MySerlvet. The same problem on MM forum: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=3threadid=344321 Thanks, Marcello.

CFMX: how to access a servlet?? (again)
Hello! Using the CFMX's internal web server I can access a servlet with a URL like http://host:8500/servlet/MyServlet without problems. I can also declare a servlet mapping in the web.xml config file and access it with a URL like http://host:8500/myMapping/MySerlvet. How can I configure CFMX (probably the JRun connector) in order to access a servlet using an external web server like IIS or Apache? I've been trying with IIS but it's returning 404 - Not Found. Thanks in advance, Marcello. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
