In an effort to reduce the number of application servers running on my PowerBook, I decided to not install JRun and try to use ColdFusion MX Server on JBoss, the open source J2EE server that ships with Panther. Panther ships with 3.2.2 Release Candidate 2. Using the EAR deployment method with ColdFusion MX Server's install, I was able to deploy CFMX. Woohoo! Copying the cfusion.ear file to the deploy directory enabled CFMX to launch without issue. I then stepped through the 6.1 setup wizard and away I went. However, upon rebooting the machine, I realized the CFMX was redeployed, and I had to step through the configuration process all over again.
I purchased a JBoss book last night that will hopefully unravel this mystery for me. More to follow...
