Deploying CF 8 on JBoss 5.x Multiinstnace/Clustered
bcserverteam
possible.
Per: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/installj2ee_15.html#144211
The doco says JBoss 4.0.5 and clustered JBoss is unsupported, so I assume
Multiinstance is unsupported as well. Can anyone clear this up for me? Can I or
can I not run CF 8 on JBoss 5.x.x in a multiinstance/clustered environment?
Thanks.

It should be the same as deploying any war or ear file on JBoss, just
create your war file and drop it into the farm directory of one of the
cluster members. From the docs:
--
The easiest way to deploy an application into the cluster is to use
the farming service. That is to hot-deploy the application archive
file (e.g., the EAR, WAR or SAR file) in the all/farm/ directory of
any of the cluster members and the application will be automatically
duplicated across all nodes in the same cluster. If node joins the
cluster later, it will pull in all farm deployed applications in the
cluster and deploy them locally at start-up time. If you delete the
application from one of the running cluster server node's farm/
folder, the application will be undeployed locally and then removed
from all other cluster server nodes farm folder (triggers
undeployment.)

Its quite literally that simple. Here's how I do it. I grab teh
cfusion war file and dearchive it to a folder - its really just a zip
file, so if necessary all you have to do is to change the extension
to .zip and then expand it. Then put all your cfm html and image files
etc into that folder as needed. Then re-war the file and simply drop
it into the /servers/all/farm/ directory. Then at the start of the
next deployment lifecycle, it will be detected as a new deployment and
then copied to all other members of the cluster. Aside from the Redhat
JBoss Admin training, which I found very useful, you may find these
two good books very helpful:
