ColdFusion 9.0.1 Update Now Available

Adobe released update for ColdFusion 9 yesterday. I have installed the update on my server running Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.

This update now supports running ColdFusion with IIS7 without installing IIS6 Metabase Compatibility. Finally! IIS7 is almost 4 years old!

Download the update from: http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html#cf9

Note: If you are running IIS7 with IIS6 Metabase Compatibility, then you'll have to remove IIS6 MC and that will require a restart of the server.

This update is recommended as it includes many bug-fixes and security hot-fixes.

And for doing that ColdFusion comes with a small and important tool called “wsconfig”. Problem: At times, regardless of operating system and the web server you are using, the ColdFusion installation will fail to configure web-server due to your network settings or firewall/security settings. When running wsconfig tool, you may encounter errors similar to the following:Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFusion servers on host localhost. Possible causes: Server not running
- Start Macromedia JRun4 or ColdFusion server Server running
- JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall on server
- host restriction in security.properties blocking communication with server Snapshot above shows one of the common scenario when wsconfig will not configure IIS.Solution: H…

This is a non-issue in production environment because once your webapp is deployed in production you never change your Apache Tiles templates and pages. However, in a development environment this is cumbersome since you will have to redeploy your webapp each time you make a change in your templates.

I faced a similar problem recently and the I found out the I could use the 'useMutableTilesContainer' property in TilesConfigurer class and the 'cache' property in TilesViewResolver class.

You configuration should look something like this:

   <bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
          <property name="definitions">
             <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/path-to-your/tiles-definition.xml</value>
