Archive and deployment options
ColdFusion includes the following archive and deployment
options.
- ColdFusion archive files
- You
can package your ColdFusion application’s pages, data sources, and
settings in a ColdFusion Archive (CAR) file. For more information,
see Packaging applications in CAR files.
- J2EE archives
- You can package your ColdFusion application as an Enterprise Application
Archive (EAR) or Web Application Archive (WAR) file for easy deployment
to a J2EE application server. For more information, see Packaging applications in J2EE archive files.
- Cfcompile utility
- The cfcompile utility lets you precompile
the ColdFusion pages of your application, into Java class files.
In addition, you can compile ColdFusion pages to bytecode and save
this bytecode in files with the CFM, CFC, or CFR extension. For
more information, see Using the cfcompile utility.
