Re: upgrade java in CF
Hi, JVM 1.5 flex services will not work and also if you calling your CFC remotely will not work; I mean you cannot call your CFC in url like this http://localhost/test.cfc [you will have servlet error] webservice stub loader having problem with JVM 1.5: web config connector having problem will throw mBean error. The best you can upgrade is JVM 1.4.2_13, its works really nice. ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:273091 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: upgrade java in CF
I should also note that we currently run the 1.5 JDK in production and have done so for the past 18 months without any problems (also noting that we do not use any of the features discussed in the URL below). I'm sure there are other stories of companies who have upgraded and stories of companies who cannot, so take into account that some of your tags may not work, and that you must thoroughly test and QA your application before putting it into production. Just to be clear, our recent switch to 1.6 JDK is just in development and hasn't yet made it to QA or production.

Re: upgrade java in CF
For multi server instance, you simply install the new JRE to a directory in the filesystem. Then, open jvm.config in your bin directory and point the java.home variable to the new path. Then, restart your cf server. MAKE SURE TO BACK UP JVM.CONFIG BEFORE MAKING THIS CHANGE just in case something goes wrong.

I've successfully tested to 1.4.2_12, and it seems to fix some memory issues on some sites I was dealing with. It is not Adobe certified though.
