Deep Dive: Running CFML on Apache Tomcat
As a web development technology CFML may seem like magic even to long-time users, but when the curtain is pulled back we see that underneath all the magic, CFML engines are fundamentally standard Java web applications. This fact gives CFML developers tremendous flexibility to develop and deploy applications just as they would any other Java web application on any number of servlet containers or JEE servers, including the extremely popular Apache Tomcat.
Now is the perfect time to get to know Tomcat. Not only is it replacing JRun as the Java servlet container in the next release of Adobe ColdFusion, by learning the fundamentals of Tomcat you’ll be able to easily run multiple CFML engines all on the same machine. Throw a little bit of web server configuration into the mix and you have an extremely powerful, flexible environment you can use on both your development machine as well as your production servers.
This Deep Dive into running CFML on Apache Tomcat will cover the following:
- CFML Engines as Java Web Applications
- Apache Tomcat Fundamentals
- Deploying CFML Engines on Tomcat
- Virtual Hosting on Tomcat
- Configuring Web Servers (Apache and IIS) With Tomcat
Come to this deep dive session to get your hands dirty with the platform on which the next release of Adobe ColdFusion will run, and to revolutionize your thinking about how to develop and deploy your CFML applications.
