Differences in the ColdFusion MX Administrator

The following table summarizes the differences in the ColdFusion MX Administrator between ColdFusion MX Server and ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application servers:

Administrator component

Status

Notes

For all servers

Server Settings > Java and JVM
Removed
Your application server handles these settings, not ColdFusion MX.

Server Settings > Archives and Deployment
Not changed
This functionality might differ from what you would expect from a J2EE application. For more information about this feature, see the ColdFusion MX Administrator online Help.

Data & Services > Data Sources
Not changed
This page might display the data sources that are managed by your application server and by ColdFusion MX. You cannot modify the data sources that are managed by your application server on this page.

Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings
Changed
The Enable Performance Monitor and Enable CFSTAT options are not available. Performance monitoring is not supported in ColdFusion MX for J2EE.

For all servers except WebSphere 4 and 5

Security > Sandbox Security
Not Changed
Note that ColdFusion MX sandbox security applies only to ColdFusion resources, such as CFML pages, CFMX data sources, and CFML tags-not to application server resources, such as data sources defined in the application server, servlets, JSPs, EJBs, and so on.

For WebSphere 4

Security > Sandbox Security
Removed
Your application handles security at this level, not ColdFusion MX.

For WebSphere 5

Security > Sandbox Security
Inoperative
Your application handles security at this level, not ColdFusion MX. The administrator page appears, but any attempt to set values results in an error message.

For Sun ONE Web Server 6 on Solaris

Data & Services > Verity Collections
Removed
This functionality is not available on Solaris.
This is due to an incompatibility between the compilers used to compile Sun ONE and the ColdFusion MX code that makes the underlying C code for the Verity search engine interoperable with Java.

Data & Services > Verity K2 Server
Removed

Extensions > CFX Tags
Removed
This functionality is not available on Solaris.
This is due to an incompatibility between the compilers used to compile Sun ONE and the ColdFusion MX code that makes the custom C++ code interoperable with Java.

For WebSphere 4 and 5 on AIX, and Java-only installations

Data & Services > Verity Collections
Inoperative
Verity is not available, but the administrator pages display. An attempt to set a value on these pages causes an error message.
