The ColdFusion MX Administrator includes a Gateways section with three pages for managing event gateways:
The Settings page lets you enable and disable support for event gateways, specify the number of threads that ColdFusion can devote to processing events, specify the maximum number events that ColdFusion can hold in its event queue (which holds events that are waiting to be processed) and start the SMS test server.
The Gateway Types page lets you add, remove, and configure event gateway types by specifying a name, a Java class, and startup timeout behavior.
Note: The gateway type name in the ColdFusion MX Administrator does not have to be the same as the gateway type that is used in the gateway Java code and the CFEvent data structure; however, you should use the same name in both places for consistency.
The Gateways page lets you add, remove, configure, start, and stop individual event gateway instances. You configure an event gateway instance by specifying a unique ID, the gateway type, one or more listener CFC paths, a configuration file (not required for all gateway types), and a startup mode (manual, automatic, or disabled).
