Configurations
You can install ColdFusion MX 7 in the following configurations:
Server configuration Lets you install one instance of ColdFusion MX 7 with an embedded
J2EE server. This configuration most closely resembles the ColdFusion MX base release and other
releases prior to ColdFusion MX, such as ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion 4.5. This was formerly
known as the stand-alone configuration.
Multiserver configuration (Enterprise Edition only)
Installs JRun and automatically deploys
ColdFusion MX 7 in a separate JRun server instance. This configuration contains the Enterprise
Manager, which lets you create server instances with ColdFusion automatically deployed as well as
manage clusters and ColdFusion MX 7 deployments on multiple JRun servers.
Note: If you installed ColdFusion MX 6.1 using the ColdFusion MX with JRun 4 option and wish to
use the Enterprise Manager, you must uninstall JRun before installing ColdFusion MX 7.
Alternatively, you can continue defining server instances using the JMC.
J2EE configuration (Enterprise Edition only)
Lets you deploy ColdFusion MX 7 as a Java
application running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application server, either using the
bundled license of JRun or using a third-party J2EE server, such as IBM WebSphere or BEA
WebLogic. When you use the J2EE configuration, you can deploy ColdFusion MX 7 multiple
times on a single computer.
