Installing and Using ColdFusion MX for J2EE
Using ColdFusion MX Applications with J2EE Application Servers

Managing ColdFusion MX

This section explains how to manage ColdFusion MX and the Windows services that are created when you deploy ColdFusion MX.

Managing the ColdFusion MX application

Your J2EE application server manages the ColdFusion MX web application. Therefore, to start, stop, or restart ColdFusion MX, use the J2EE application's administrative interface to start, stop, or restart the J2EE server on which ColdFusion MX is running (for example, Default Server). On some J2EE application servers, such as IBM WebSphere Application Server, you can start and stop individual applications within a server without stopping the J2EE server. For more information, see your application server documentation. To manage most ColdFusion MX characteristics and resources, such as data sources and debugging settings, use the ColdFusion MX Administrator.

Note:   If you enable or disable security in the ColdFusion MX Administrator, you must stop and restart the server for ColdFusion MX for your changes to take effect.

Managing ColdFusion MX Windows services

This section describes the Windows ODBC services that you can optionally create through the ColdFusion MX Startup Wizard.

Overview of services

The ColdFusion MX Startup Wizard creates the following services in Windows:

Service	Purpose
ColdFusionMX ODBC Agent	The service used to configure data sources for the ColdFusion MX ODBC Server.
ColdFusionMX ODBC Server	The middle-tier service for ODBC connections that use the ColdFusion MX DataDirect drivers for Microsoft Access and ODBC Socket.
