EAR or WAR deployment

[GUJUm0deL]

Does anyone know about EAR or WAR CF deployment? This has really intrigued me. There are a lot of advantages on this, and was wondering if any CF guru here has used this, is using this or will be using this.

without double checking the product lines, EAR and WAR deployment is only available with enterprise edition.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

Yeah, WAR or EAR is for enterprise edition. Have you had any experience in this? This thread and thread232-1179540 are intertwined. I learned about this after I made the thread232-1179540 post.

Ok, I've never really looked too much into the EAR/WAR files, but this is my take from what I have read.

You can create EAR/WAR files and these include the Coldfusion runtime files, so when you give that to your client they would not need to install Coldfusion to run the files.

The problem however is that they must purchase a Coldfusion Enterprise license for every machine that the EAR/WAR is deployed to. You can either enter the serial on creation of the EAR/WAR or you can omit it. If you omit it, then you need to provide the Coldfusion admin in the EAR/WAR so that the client can enter their own serial on deployment. If you leave out the serial on creation and do not include the admin section, then the client will have a 30 day trial version that will revert to the developer edition after 30 days.

Hope this helps
