First, I'd recommend that you post this on one of the other houseoffusion lists, as the jrun one is pretty much defunct. Second, a single CF instance can't use 3.5 GB of RAM, so just because you have that doesn't mean much. Third, in general you'll get much better performance with CF 8, since CF 8 supports new, non-obsolete JVMs. CF 7 supports 1.4.x, while CF 8 supports the latest 1.6 JVM. > Our site gets about 900 logins per day from west cost to east cost.

Well, first, that's a lot of stuff to stick in the session scope. Second, that's a REALLY LONG session timespan. The time span determines how long sessions will last with no user activity, so if I log in, view one page and close my browser, that session will stick around in memory for 4 hours more. That's really, really long. I'd set it to something like 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes tops. Third, garbage collection might not take very long when it runs, but it may pause all other activity while it's running. CF doesn't execute all tasks in parallel, it uses a queuing system, and if you're receiving more requests than you have threads to process those requests, the additional requests are queued. If garbage collection occurs while my request is in the queue, all the requests currently being processed will take longer, and it'll take longer for my request to get an available thread. > It used to be that our system would bounce back after restarting our CF > Server, but now this doesnt do > anything for us.

There are a lot of tunable parameters for garbage collection. Unfortunately, finding the optimal ones is often a matter of trial and error.

Its's as if the lines in the virtual hosts section are > ignored by Apache. Setting up JRun to work with Apache is a little more work. I think the easiest way to do this is the following: 1. Run wsconfig to set up Apache to work with your first JRun instance. 2. Copy your httpd.conf file. 3. Run wsconfig to set up Apache to work with your second JRun instance. 4. Edit your httpd.conf file to include the changes made in the first step, placing some in your VirtualHost directive and others in your main httpd.conf content. The LoadModule part will need to go in httpd.conf, and you'll need the IfModule directive containing only the Ssl option in httpd.conf also. The other parts will go into your VirtualHost directives as appropriate. > 2nd question > The workings of servlet engines (JBoss, Tomcat, JRun etc) is > a littlebit unclear to me.

Deploying an EAR or WAR file creates the resources needed for a specific enterprise or web application. Your application server will look for specific URL patterns, which will then be handled by the application server. I don't think this tells you everything you're curious about, but frankly I'm not sure what else you want to know exactly. The lifecycle of a request is no different with a J2EE server than with any other sort of server, really. > Also I don't quite understand the need for the Windows' > services "Macromedia JRun Admin Server" and "Macromedia JRun > Cfusion Server".

If you look at the arguments passed to each executable for each service, you'll notice that they're a bit different. The command-line analogue is to run jrun.exe: jrun -start admin jrun -start cfusion The Admin server lets you manage JRun itself, much like the CF Administrator application lets you manage CF. You can disable the JRun Admin service; you don't need it unless you want to access the JRun Admin console.

I think that, to do this through the JRun Admin Console, you will need to remove each instance from the cluster and make the changes, then recreate the cluster.

This is a very tough question, because the memory footprint for each instance will depend upon what exactly that instance is doing.

I don't think it stores the source files at all - I think they're compiled directly to bytecode without being stored as source code. I'm no JRun expert, though.

RE: How much RAM?
> Now that I have CFMX installed under JRun, how much RAM > is needed for each instance of CFMX that is running under > JRun4? If I recall correctly, just running a JRun instance with CFMX will consume around 35MB without even servicing client requests. Obviously, when it starts doing work, it'll probably consume more memory. How much memory it consumes will depend on the nature of your application, and the load that it has to handle.

First, you might have better luck with this on the cf-talk list. I haven't run into this problem with using the CFCHART functionality with CFMX Enterprise; I haven't tried it with CFMX for J2EE. Within CFMX Enterprise, there are several options for controlling CFCHART functionality. If those options also exist in CFMX for J2EE, you might try changing how you cache charts (disk vs memory) and how many threads are created for charting. However, it sounds like your chart may simply be significantly more complex than the ones I've worked with. If that's the case, you may want to reconsider how you do charting. If possible, do it before runtime using a scheduled task, and just return the now-static charts at runtime.

I think this would be a matter of Apache configuration. I'm more familiar with IIS; in IIS, you can disable the use of scripts and/or executables within a single directory from within the IIS management console.

As many here have already mentioned, CF is incredibly easy to work with. For simple applications that might not merit a complex framework like Struts, it's ideal - you can do everything you need to, directly from CF, and because it's such a high-level language, the code can still be manageable if done well. Also, in a Model-View-Controller situation, CF is a good replacement for JSP, I think - I've used both, and I find CF to be much easier to work with than JSP (if for no other reason than the level of information in error messages!).

I don't know enough about JRun to say whether there's any way to easily have a common repository of usernames and passwords between your IIS application (Crystal Reports) and your JRun application. However, you can manage NT users from the command line - there are plenty of free/cheap tools for that. The resource kits for Windows provide tools like addusers.exe, which can import users from a text file. In addition, you can build your own command-line tools, if you want to do something a little different, using Windows Script Host against the ADSI interfaces. Also, I think there may be third-party products for IIS which will allow IIS to perform authentication against other user repositories besides the Windows account manager.

But perhaps I am missing > something. While I agree with you that this configuration probably is more trouble than it's worth, there are valid security reasons for separating the application server from the web server. First of all, the use of a firewall between the outside world and the web server doesn't automatically provide the necessary level of security. The firewall has to let HTTP traffic reach the web server, but web servers can be compromised by malformed HTTP requests - and those HTTP requests may be perfectly valid requests from the firewall's perspective. If the web server is compromised this way, and it also hosts the application, all kinds of bad things can ensue. All of this stuff is especially true for IIS, which by default is vulnerable to all kinds of buffer overflow and directory traversal exploits. If you're using IIS in a production environment, it's essential to learn how to properly secure it. Fig Leaf Software offers a course on this topic, focused on CF developers, called "Securing ColdFusion Servers for Windows", and in the course, there are several demonstrations of IIS exploits that will pass right through the firewall by default - as well as SQL injection attacks, which pass through the firewall, web and application servers and attack the database directly! However, I'd recommend that you're better off securing your web/application server than separating the two, in most cases, for performance reasons.

You'll probably get significantly better performance by simply joining the two tables, then filtering the output appropriately. You'll get duplicate data from your "master" table; simply add conditional logic within your output to skip that data. In ColdFusion, you could do this very easily with the GROUP attribute of CFOUTPUT. I'm not sure if there's something analogous in JSP or the JRun tag libraries. If there isn't, you simply have to write a couple of lines within your tags (or whatever alternative output mechanism you're using).

I'm no expert on NT memory dumps, but I'm inclined to agree - the "jrun!HttpFilterProc" is the JRun ISAPI filter. > - There was a newer jrun.dll posted in thread: > http://forums.allaire.com/jrun/messageview.cfm?catid=69&thread id=216877 Can I replace the existing jrun.dll (from JRun 3.0) with this newer version, NOT upgrading JRun to 3.1? You can certainly give it a try - just copy the existing version somewhere else, stop the services, copy the new one over the old one, and restart the services. If there are any JRun 3.0 service packs, you might try applying them as well. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 ~~ Your ad could be here.
