This section provides installation instructions for the ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE configuration. When you install the J2EE configuration, you have the following options:
New installation -- multiserver configuration Use this option to install a copy of Macromedia JRun 4 with ColdFusion MX 7 deployed and configured as an enterprise application in a JRun server. For installation details, see Installing ColdFusion MX 7 using the multiserver configuration. Macromedia recommends this configuration option if JRun or another J2EE application server is not already installed on the computer and you plan to use JRun 4 instead of another J2EE application server.
New installation -- create an EAR or WAR file Use this option if you already have a J2EE application server running on the computer. The installation wizard creates an EAR file or two WAR files, which you deploy using J2EE application-server-specific tools or utilities. For installation details, see Installing an EAR file or WAR files.
