Question

Hi all Is there an easy way to update the Tomcat that s installed with Adobe CF I was hoping they released it as a CF upgrade but so far no such luck And just installing the latest Tomcat download seems fraught with peril

< Brian> Adobe does not use stock Tomcat they have a special forked version of it I would not try to use a stock tomcat installation at all to upgrade your local CF install

Unless you want to uninstall CF and then re install stock Tomcat and then move to a pure J2E WAR deployment requires an Ent license you re stuck waiting on Adobe to release Tomcat updates

I m actually using IIS so do I need to reinstall and configure it to use that to eliminate Tomcat all together

I don t think you can eliminate Tomcat Tomcat is the J2EE app server that hosts the Coldfusion app server IIS can t function as a J2EE app server by itself

Yup that s like saying you can get rid of your DVD player to play DVDs because you ve got a TV CF is a J2E WAR and requires a servlet container

Except Adobe CF is like one of those weird compact TVs with the DVD player built into the side of it so you sort of forget it s there and technically a separate concern slightly smiling face
