  • Page 43: Chapter 3: Data Source Management

    A data source is a complete database configuration that uses a JDBC driver to communicate with a specific database. In Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7, you must configure a data source for each database that you want to use. After you configure a data source, ColdFusion can then communicate with that data source through JDBC.

  • Page 44: About Jdbc

    Disadvantages The ODBC driver, and possibly the client database libraries, must reside on the ColdFusion server computer. Performance is slower than other JDBC driver types. Macromedia does not recommend this driver type unless your application requires DBMS-specific features. Native-API/partly Converts JDBC calls to database-specific calls.

  • Page 45: Adding Data Sources

  • Page 65: Chapter 4: Web Server Management

    CHAPTER 4 Web Server Management You can connect Macromedia ColdFusion MX to the built-in web server and to external web servers, such as Apache, IIS, and Sun ONE Web Server (formerly known as iPlanet). This chapter explores common scenarios, security, and multihosting.

  • Page 66: Using The Built-In Web Server

    All web servers listen on a TCP/IP port, which you can specify in the URL. By default, web servers listen for HTTP requests on port 80 (for example, http://www.macromedia.com and http://www.macromedia.com:80 are the same). Similarly, port 443 is the default port for HTTPS requests.

  • Page 67: Using An External Web Server

    • If you want the built-in web server to serve pages from a different web root directory, define a virtual mapping in the cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml file (jrun_root/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml in the multiserver configuration), as the following example shows: <virtual-mapping> <resource-path>/*</resource-path> <system-path>C:/myApps/wwwroot</system-path> </virtual-mapping> Warning: If you have CFML pages under your external web server’s root, ensure that ColdFusion MX has been configured to serve these pages through the external web server.

  • Page 68: Web Server Configuration

    Open a console window. Tip: In Windows, you can start the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Macromedia > ColdFusion MX 7 > Web Server Configuration Tool. Change to the cf_root/runtime/bin (server configuration) or jrun_root/bin (multiserver configuration) directory.
  • Page 69 (Optional) The web server connector does not serve static content (such as HTML files and images) from the built-in web server’s root directory. If your ColdFusion web application has an empty context root (/) and you want to serve pages from the built-in web server’s root directory, you can create a web server mapping to the corresponding directory under the built- in web server.

  • Page 91: Chapter 7: Using Multiple Server Instances

    CHAPTER 7 Using Multiple Server Instances When you install Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise Edition using the multiserver configuration, you can use the ColdFusion MX Administrator to create multiple server instances. Deploying ColdFusion MX on multiple server instances lets you isolate individual applications and leverage clustering functionality.

  • Page 92: About Multiple Server Instances

    About multiple server instances The ColdFusion MX Administrator lets you create server instances and clusters. Additionally, you can connect to remote JRun servers and add them to clusters. Running multiple instances of ColdFusion MX has the following advantages: Application isolation You deploy an independent application to each server instance.

  • Page 93: Defining Additional Server Instances

    Defining additional server instances The multiserver configuration is a customized installation of JRun. JRun supports multiple server instances (also called JRun servers) running on the same computer. Each server instance runs in a separate JVM, which executes all ColdFusion pages for that instance. You use the Instance Manager area of the ColdFusion MX Administrator to define and manage server instances.

  • Page 94: Enabling Application Isolation

    Enabling application isolation You can create separate server instances, each with its own ColdFusion applications; each application then has its own ColdFusion and J2EE server resources. In this configuration, you typically have a single external web server with multiple server instances on one computer, and separate virtual hosts (or sites) for each server instance.

    Enabling clustering for load balancing and failover Load balancing is an enterprise-level feature in which the application server automatically alternates requests among the server instances in a cluster. Clustering also enables application servers to route requests to a running server instance when the original server instance goes down. Note: These instructions apply only when you are running ColdFusion MX in the multiserver configuration.

  • Page 110 Web standard support Verity Spider supports key web standards used by Internet and intranet sites. Standard HREF links and frames pointers are recognized, so that navigation through them is supported. Redirected pages are followed so that the real underlying document is indexed. Verity Spider adheres to the robots exclusion standard specified in robots.txt files, so that administrators can maintain friendly visits to remote websites.

  • Page 111: About Verity Spider Syntax

    Efficient DNS lookups Verity Spider minimizes DNS lookups, which means great improvements to spidering throughput. If spidering is limited by domain or host, then no DNS lookups are made on hosts that fall outside of that range. In earlier versions, DNS lookups were made on all candidate URLs. Proxy handling efficiency To allow for greater flexibility when dealing with indexing jobs that involve proxy servers and firewalls, use the following options:...
  • Page 112 There are dependencies for other options, depending on the nature of the indexing task. The following are some examples: • To build a new collection, you must use -style • To control how Verity Spider operates, including which documents it indexes, use some Verity Spider options.
  • Page 113 If an indexing task halts, you can rerun the task as-is. The persistent store for the specified collection is read, and only those candidate URLs that are in the queue but not yet processed are parsed. Candidate URLs correspond to URLs of the following status, as reported by vsdb: cand, used, inse, upda, dele, fail Repository type Starting point...

  • Page 114: Core Options

    For better readability, put each option and any parameters on a single line. Verity Spider can properly parse the lines. Note: Macromedia strongly recommends that you take advantage of the abstraction offered by this option. This can greatly reduce user error in erroneously including or omitting options in subsequent indexing jobs.

  • Page 115: Processing Options

    -style Syntax: -style path Specifies the path to the style files to use when creating a new collection. If the option is not specified, Verity Spider uses the default style files in -style cf_root/lib/common/style.
