1. To ensure that ColdFusion can deploy on JBoss 4.2/JBoss 5.01, perform the following steps instead of following the standard instructions in the cf-j2ee-readme.txt file:

   1. Keep periods in the directory names, instead of renaming them with dashes, for example, \deploy\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war.

   2. Do not make the updates to application.xml.

2. Set JAVA_HOME to the appropriate JDK.

3. Install ColdFusion by using the J2EE deployment option and selecting to create an EAR file (the default).

   The installation program creates the cfusion.ear file in the install directory.

4. Extract the cfusion.ear file into a TEMP_LOCATION\cfusion.ear folder. This step creates cfusion.war and rds.war files and a META-INF folder in the cfusion.ear folder.

5. In the cfusion.ear folder, extract the cfusion.war and rds.war files into folders named cfusion and rds, respectively.

6. Delete the compressed cfusion.war and rds.war files.

7. Rename the cfusion and rds folders to cfusion.war and rds.war, respectively.

8. Stop JBoss if it is running.

9. Copy or move the TEMP_LOCATION\cfusion.ear folder into the JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR folder

   The resulting directory structure should appear as follows:

   JBoss 4.2.0 or JBoss 5.01 
         server 
            default 
               deploy 
                  cfusion.ear 
                     cfusion.war 
                     META-INF 
                     rds.war

10. (Windows) Edit the JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat file by doing the following:

    1. If not present, add the JVM (-Xmx512m) parameter to JAVA_OPTS.

    2. Ensure that the permanent generation heap size is set by adding -XX:MaxPermSize=128m to JAVA_OPTS.

       Without this parameter, the JVM can generate a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError error. For more information, see (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=PermanentGeneration).

    3. Ensure that the jars available in WEB-INF/flex/jars are in the classpath.

    4. Save the run.bat file.

    5. Start the server by running the JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat file.

    Note: If you use Apache Derby database, add the following in run.bat: JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver. This is to ensure that Apache Derby do not start a JMX management server that might conflict with JBoss.

11. (Linux) Edit the JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.conf file by doing the following:

    1. In JAVA_OPTS, change -Xmx128m. to -Xmx512m.

    2. Add -XX:MaxPermSize=128m to JAVA_OPTS.

    3. Save the run.conf file.

    4. Start the server by running the JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh file.

       To enable features with operating system-specific binaries, configure ColdFusion. This step is required to support the following features that use binaries that are specific to your operating system:

       • CFX tags written in C++

       • Microsoft Access driver with Unicode support (Windows only)

         Use the following procedure for your operating system to configure the search paths to find the required binary files. These files are located in the CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.

    Note: If you use Apache Derby database, add the following in run.bat: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver". This is to ensure that Apache Derby do not start a JMX management server that might conflict with JBoss.

1. Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.

2. Edit JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat by adding the following:

   set CF_LIB_PATH=JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib 
   set PATH=%PATH%;%CF_LIB_PATH%

3. Edit the run.bat file that is located in the JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR by doing the following:

    Locate the following text:

   @echo off 
   rem ----------------------------------------------- 
   rem JBoss Bootstrap Script for Win32 
   rem -----------------------------------------------

4. Below this text, insert three lines and paste.

   set CF_LIB_PATH=JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib 
   set PATH=%PATH%;%CF_LIB_PATH%

5. Save the file and start the server.

   Note: You must copy the version of tools.jar that the application server uses to the cfusion/lib directory.

1. Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.

2. Edit JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh by adding the following:

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:CF_WEBAPP_ROOT/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

3. Save the file and start the server.

1. Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.

2. Edit JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat by adding the following:

   set CF_LIB_PATH=%CF_LIB_PATH%;CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin;CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

3. Save the file and start the server.

When ColdFusion is configured to use RMI for LiveCycle Data Services ES, ColdFusion listens on port 1099 by default. However JBoss typically starts listening on this port before ColdFusion does; as a result, an exception is thrown. To configure ColdFusion to use a different RMI port, on the Java and JVM page of the ColdFusion Administrator, specify the following in the JVM arguments text area:

-Dcoldfusion.rmiport=nnnn

Replace nnn with the value of an unused port. If you try to connect from a LiveCycle Data Services ES server that is running in another JVM server to ColdFusion over RMI, the Flex server must start with the same JVM argument.

1. Stop ColdFusion.

2. Edit JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml by commenting out the following:

   <!-- <servlet id="macromedia_servlet_8789">  
       <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>  
       <display-name>RDS Servlet</display-name>  
       <servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class>  
       <init-param id="InitParam_103401311065856789">  
           <param-name>servlet.class</param-name>  
           <param-value>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</param-value> 
       </init-param>  
   </servlet> --> 
   <!-- <servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_9">  
       <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>  
       <url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>  
   </servlet-mapping> -->

3. Save the file and start ColdFusion.

If you notice security-based errors when JBOSS is starting (errors that mention Java and security), edit the run.bat file as follows:

1. Go to the line that contains the -Xmx512m parameter.

2. Change the text: -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% to be -Dcoldfusion.disablejsafe=true %JAVA_OPTS%.

   These security errors occur because some versions of JBOSS cannot handle additional encryption software that ColdFusion uses for higher security standards. Some features, such as EJB3, require JDK 1.5.
