Disabling Remote Development Services (Rds) - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION MX 61 - INSTALLING AND USING COLDFUSION MX Using Manual

Prepare your CORBA server side, as follows:
4
Start your Visibroker osagent service or process, if it is not already running, by entering the
a
following command:
osagent
Note: If you must connect to an osagent in another subnetwork, include the following lines in the
vbjorb.properties file:
vbroker.agent.addr=<IP address of machine running OSAGENT>
vbroker.agent.port=<port>
Start the Interface Repository and load it with the IDL file that you plan to use, by entering
b
an command, as in the following example:
irep
irep myir MyIDLFile.idl
(Optional) Start the Naming Service by entering a command like the following:
c
nameserv namingroot
Note: The name of the Naming Service (namingroot in the previous example) must match the
value for SVCnameroot in the vbjorb.properties file.
Start Visibroker on your CORBA server.
d
For more information, see the Borland Visibroker documentation.
Restart ColdFusion MX for your changes to take effect.

You can now make CORBA invocations from ColdFusion MX. For more information about
integrating CORBA objects into ColdFusion MX, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.

Disabling Remote Development Services (RDS)

If you use Dreamweaver MX or HomeSite+ to develop your applications, you can access a remote
ColdFusion MX server using HTTP. However, you must configure Remote Development
Services (RDS) in your integrated development environment (IDE), and RDS must be enabled in
ColdFusion MX. Using RDS, IDE users can securely access remote files and data sources, build
SQL queries from these data sources, and debug CFML code.
However, for security reasons, Macromedia recommends that you disable RDS on a production
server. To disable it, you must disable the RDSServlet mapping.
To disable the RDSServlet mapping:
Back up the web.xml file.
1
This file is in the cf_root\wwwroot\WEB-INF directory in Windows and in the
cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory on UNIX. In the J2EE configuration, this file is under
cf_root/WEB-INF.
Open the original web.xml file for editing.
2
Comment out the RDSServlet mapping, as shown in the following example:
3
<!--
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
-->
