Installing the J2EE Configuration
Code and test ColdFusion CFM pages.

Store CFM pages under the web application root (either cfusion-ear/cfusion-war or cfusion-war) and access
these pages using a URL of the form http://hostname:portnumber/context-root/filename.cfm, as follows:
hostname The machine name, IP address, or localhost.
portnumber The port number used by your application server's web server.
contextroot The context root for the ColdFusion web application. For more information, see "Context
root" on page 28.
filename The directory path and file to display. The path is relative to the cfusion-war directory.
For example, to display a CFM file located at /opt/jrun4/servers/myserver/cfusion-ear/cfusion-
war/eisapp/index.cfm using the built-in JRun web server and a context root of cfmx, you specify the URL as
http://localhost:8100/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.
