Add or edit a J2EE archive
Specify settings, options, and directories, as shown in the following table.
Click Create.
Option |
Description |
Archive Name |
Specifies a name for the J2EE archive definition. This is also the name given to the EAR or WAR file. |
Application Directory |
Specifies the location of the CFM files to be included beneath the web root of the ColdFusion web application. |
Distribution Directory |
Specifies the directory where ColdFusion places the EAR or WAR file. ColdFusion uses the name archivename.ear or archivename.war, depending on the archive type. |
Archive Type |
Specifies whether ColdFusion creates a Web Application Archive (WAR) file or an Enterprise Application Archive (EAR) file. |
Context Root (valid for EAR) |
If you create an EAR file, you can optionally specify a context root for the ColdFusion web application. The default is an empty context root. For more information, see the J2EE Packaging overview.
If you create a WAR file, the context root is handled in an application-server-specific manner. In some application servers, the default context root is the name of the WAR file; in others, you specify the context root using the deploy tool or through a server-specific configuration file. |
Serial Number |
Specifies a valid serial number for ColdFusion Enterprise Edition. |
Previous Serial Number (if upgrade) |
Specify the serial number of the previous ColdFusion installation. |
Include COM Support |
Specifies whether to include the modules that provide COM support. Omitting COM support reduces the size of the archive by about 12 MB. |
Disable Debugging |
Specifies whether to disable debugging in the ColdFusion web application. |
Include CFML Source |
Specifies whether to use the original CFM files or to convert the pages to Java bytecode. Select this check box to use plain-text CFM files; clear this check box to use Java bytecode stored in the CFM files. |
Include CF Administrator |
Specifies whether to include the modules and directories for the ColdFusion Administrator (the CFIDE directory structure). Omitting the ColdFusion Administrator reduces the size of the archive by about 2 MB. |
Configure Data Sources to be Included in Archive |
Specifies the data sources to include in the J2EE archive. Use the Right and Left Arrow buttons to select and remove data sources. Use the Double Arrow buttons to select and remove all data sources with one click. |
