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.
Management of multiple server instances has changed significantly in ColdFusion MX 7:
ColdFusion MX
Use a J2EE deployment, along with J2EE application server features to deploy
the ColdFusion MX application on multiple instances of the J2EE application server.
ColdFusion MX 7
Use the ColdFusion MX Administrator in the multiserver configuration to
create Macromedia JRun server instances and to automatically deploy the ColdFusion MX
application on those instances. Additionally, you can combine the Administrator-driven server
instance creation with the ColdFusion MX Administrator J2EE Archive feature to deploy a
ColdFusion MX application that contains all of your application's CFM files (including CFCs
and CFRs), settings (including data source definitions), and the ColdFusion web application. For
more information on J2EE Archive, see
"Packaging applications in J2EE archive files"
on page
80.
Note: Although the concepts and procedures explained in the ColdFusion MX documentation still
apply, ColdFusion MX 7 incorporates multiple instance and cluster creation into the ColdFusion MX
Administrator.
