Note
Disabling Automatic Reloading for Deployment
Automatic class reloading is an essential feature for iterative development and testing.
However, because it must continually check to see whether Java CFX class files have
changed, performance may decrease slightly. Therefore, when you move from
development into deployment, Allaire ecommends that you globally disable automatic
class reloading. You can do this by modifying the
setting of the
coldfusion.cfx.class.reload=no

Life cycle of Java CFXs
