Migrating a ColdFusion application to your application server

This section describes how to migrate an application that you developed for the ColdFusion MX Server to run on your J2EE application server.

If you are migrating an application that was developed for ColdFusion 5 or earlier, ensure that it is compatible with ColdFusion MX.
For more information, see Migrating ColdFusion 5 Applications and the Migrating from ColdFusion section of the Release Notes.
Ensure that the application is compatible with ColdFusion MX for J2EE. For a description of differences between this Edition and the ColdFusion MX Server, see Chapter 9, "Differences Between the ColdFusion MX Server and ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers".
Install ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers on a test server that has your J2EE application server installed.
Move the directory with the application under the cf_root directory on the test server.
Test the ColdFusion MX application on the test server. Using a source control system, make any necessary changes to the application. Ensure that you test all application features under load, not just with a few users.
Tip: A number of testing applications are available for download from the web. For more information, see the Support section of the Macromedia website (http://www.macromedia.com/support).
If you encounter problems that do not seem to be related to the code, ensure that you are using comparable administrator settings. For example, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) settings are handled by your application server, not ColdFusion MX. For more information, see "Differences in the ColdFusion MX Administrator," in Chapter9.
