@Mark Takata (Adobe) Do you know if there are new WAR builds for the new updates? I used to download WARs from the little landing page you'd hit after downing the CF trial installers, but it seems that landing page has been updated and no longer contains links to the WARs. I'm not sure where to actually go to find them, lol.
This is the landing page I get now after filling out the trial form https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/download-trial/get-started.html
WAR downloads used to be at the bottom of that page
We're having issues updating a CF war in-place. After applying the update, we get tons of these errors
Copy code
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: coldfusion.org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggerFactory
     at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapClassLoader.loadClass(BootstrapClassLoader.java:303)
     at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
     ... 17 more
which makes me think there are new jar files that are missing from the WAR.

@Satyam Mishra did we get the new WAR installers in place? I know a few things were running behind the main launch like Docker/CFFiddle updates. Were WAR installers also not pushed? If they were, it looks like we may have some bugs. Adding @priyank_adobe for visibility.
p
@Mark Takata (Adobe) As far as I know, there is no WAR installer for updates. Docker and CFFiddle has been updates with latest update and live now.
b
@priyank_adobe can you clarify, doe that mean that there should be new WAR installers but they haven't been generated yet. Or does that mean that new WAR installers are not needed and will not be generated?
And either way, can we get an engineer to help with the error message I posted above?
p
@bdw429s Are these error coming in both CF2021 and CF2023 ? I can give a shot and will report the same to development team.
b
yes
The WAR will no longer start once we apply the update
p
thanks for the confirmation
got it
Hi Brad, I tried on Tomcat 9 and I am able to install both CF2021 and CF2023 latest update with out any issue. It is allowing me to access the CF Admin as well.
b
Ok, @jclausen was our resource working on this on our side, but he out this week

@priyank_adobe could you provide us with a jar’ed successful update so we can test?
p
You need my entire tomcat folder, I can zip and share it with you.
I have shared the zip in your DM. Please let me know in case of query.
b
@priyank_adobe As Jon ids out on PTO, can you please send the WAR to me as well?
p
Done
b
@priyank_adobe One of the questions I asked above was where the current download links for the WAR files live since they have been removed from the page I used to use. Can you let me know where I can get the latest fresh WAR file from Adobe's site?
p
Hi Brad, I don't we have the WAR available in downloads page. I will ask Vamsee if this can be pushed to download page.
I have raised this with Vamsee, will update you as soon as I hear from him.

Thanks, I wanted to try the update on a fresh war file instead of trying to patch an old one.
d
@priyank_adobe did the WAR files with the security updates get published? Be handy to know where they are.
b
@priyank_adobe Any update? I asked for the download link to the current WARs 11 days ago now. I have people asking me daily for an update on this
d
@bdw429s heres todays request for an update…. 🙂

@priyank_adobe after some hacking around and modifications to the updated installation you sent, I can get your upgraded version to start. It’s so highly customized to your Windows machine, though, that we would not be able to reliably use it with CommandBox: • all of the Unix shell scripts are missing in the version you sent me • you have a custom 
bundleurl
to your localhost in 
WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo_updates.xml
• startup of the server seems to install every single CFPM module in existence - for some reason I can’t identify right now I also get this javascript alert error when I go to the CFAdmin and :
Copy code
Error invoking CFC /CFIDE/administrator/updates/module_helper.cfc : Internal Server Error [Enable debugging by adding 'cfdebug' to your URL parameters to see more information]
We are going to need clean, updated, WARs for 2021 and 2023 from you before we can proceed further.
I am seeing WAR downloads in the Zip installers section here: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html but those are only on Update 5
Update: I downloaded the update 5 WAR and attempted to apply the updater jar to it, but received the attached errors. The installer says the update was successful with some errors, but restarting the server still shows it on update 5. It seems that your updater JAR has some hard-coded assumptions about the file system by this fatal error messages:

@jclausen Can we connect and you can show me the issue. I will try to replicate the same. I tried the same in Ubuntu and everything worked.
j
Are you using Tomcat on Ubuntu? Or just updating the WAR only?
I’m happy to hop on Zoom or another platform to show you. The results are pretty consistent
p
I am wrapping a call and will ping you.
j
I have a meeting at 1:30EDT but I can meet after that.
p
sure that will work
I am available to join the call now, please let me know if you can show me the issue at your end.
j
Forgebox engines have now been updated to: • 
2021.0.13+330286
• 
2023.0.07+330663
Thanks for the assist @priyank_adobe! I would still recommend adding some cumulative pre-patched WARs in your downloads section for each release.

I have opened a discussion with engineering and will update as soon as I hear from them. I am glad, I was able to help.
