Hello all, I am looking to build an add-on web application to a legacy coldfusion application. I have got a prototype working under tomcat and now I want to "deploy" it to the cf server. It appears that I cannot simply load a war file, nor can I unpack it under cfusionmx\wwwroot. Both apps need to be in the same application server so I can share session data (for single sign-on, database resources, etc.)
Has anyone done this? Are there any resources available? The MacroMedia web site suggests (which I also discovered on my own) that you include the struts action servlet definition in the cfusionmx\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml file, but I am concerned about install/uninstall-ability of this web app (there will eventually be as many as 8 of them, and we want to add/remove/upgrade them at will). Eventually, the legacy app may move away from cf in which case we can easily use any app server that suits us. The choices I think I have so far are: 1. Do what a reasonable container would do and manually "merge" the add-on to the main (cf) application, adding the ActionServlet mapping to the cf web.xml. 2. Drop cf as the web application server and use tomcat, moving the cf servlet pieces into their own web.xml (putting the cf part in its own context/web app). This is effectively the reverse of #1. 3. Figure out a way to make cfusionmx accept the .war or some archive or hierarchy like tomcat would. 4. Figure out a way to make a .car (coldfusion archive) out of my .war I'm looking for help with option #3 (preferred) or #4. Thanks for any pointers, tips, or help, Tim Lucia Ref: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/struts05.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
