8 Chapter 1: Essential Information

About ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server

Macromedia ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server enables you to add

ColdFusion MX capabilities to your Sun Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application

server. It is a J2EE application that installs on top of your existing Java application server and

provides development, deployment, and management services for ColdFusion applications.

Overview of the J2EE platform

The J2EE platform is a set of detailed specifications and runtime services for developing

enterprise applications. A J2EE-compliant application is based on standardized, modular

components. J2EE provides these components with a complete set of services, and automatically

handles many details of the application behavior; for example, providing pluggable and scalable

database connection pooling and transparently managing web session clustering and failover.

J2EE provides a security model to protect your data and JDBC, an application programming

interface (API) to access your data. Also, J2EE is interoperable with other technologies that follow

the same modularized standard; for example, you can use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), Java

Servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and XML in your applications.

For more information, see http://java.sun.com/j2ee.

Overview of ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server

The ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server runtime environment is a Java

application that takes advantage of the services in the J2EE platform to connect to databases,

manage security, and process application requests. It provides the full scripting environment of

Macromedia ColdFusion MX and lets you develop fully featured Rich Internet Applications

rapidly and efficiently. When ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server is installed

on top of the WebSphere Application Server, it uses that server’s J2EE runtime to compile and

execute ColdFusion applications.

For more information about Macromedia ColdFusion MX, see the ColdFusion MX

documentation.

For information about differences between ColdFusion MX and ColdFusion MX for IBM

WebSphere Application Server on your operating system and application server version, see

“Differences between ColdFusion MX and ColdFusion MX on WebSphere” on page 12.

System requirements

This section lists the system requirements for ColdFusion MX for Windows and UNIX. This

information was up-to-date at the time this document was written. For any updates, see

www.macromedia.com/go/cfmxj2ee-cert.

Note: If you use Macromedia ColdFusion Studio to develop your web applications, note that

ColdFusion MX supports ColdFusion Studio versions 4.5.2 and 5.0 only.

System requirements 9

Operating system and Java requirements

The following table lists the operating systems supported by the ColdFusion MX for IBM

WebSphere Application Server editions. The following considerations also apply:

•The supported Java runtime environment is the default runtime installed with the application

server.

•Additional system update requirements follow the table.

For the most up-to-date list of certified platforms, see the Macromedia support site,

www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion.

Include the following updates for your operating system:

•To use Microsoft Access or other databases that require an ODBC driver, on Windows NT 4.0

Server or Windows 2000 Server, you must have the following component installed: MDAC

2.5 SP1 (www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm).

•For all UNIX distributions, install the latest production-level patches, including the kernel,

from the supplier’s download sites: for Red Hat, ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub; for SuSE, ftp://

ftp.suse.com/pub; for Solaris, http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-

access; for AIX, http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html.

•To use C++ CFXs with RedHat Linux 8.0, the Linux installation must have a RedHat libc

compatibility library such as the following:

RedHat-8.0 for i386 compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.110.i386.rpm
