i wish they would solve some of the cf implementation issues affecting full use of the oracle thin JDBC client :(

A silly question: How do I prevent OS X 10.4.11 Server from extracting the .jar file? When I double-click on the chf8000002.zip file it shows the jar file for a split micro second and then I am left with a bunch of extracted folders and files...

via terminal I suppose, but how?
Thanks for any hint on this certainly BASIC issue... apologies, relatively new to OS X Server systems... although I love it already :-)

Odd. I've never seen that on my OSX machine. Instead of double clicking, right click, and see what your options are, and maybe try each one.

Ok, found a solution so I'll share it in case anyone else has the same issue:

I downloaded a utility called JarInspector and was able to open the zip in that and "extract" (funny enough) the jar file so that the jar file remained untouched. And good to go.

Btw: Installing Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 Update (over 10.4.10) was smooth and the restart took no more than 3 minutes before everything was up and running again. Nice one. ColdFusion Stop and Start Service via CF8 Launcher (in the ColdFusion8 directory in Applications), took a mere minute as well.

About JarInspector: Written by Christoph Gerdes, Jar Inspector is available from www . codeland . org

Did anyone else get any errors when applying this? I applied the HF2 to three machines. (Local, Dev, Production).

Local runs Apache on XP
Dev and Prod run IIS on Server 2003

My Production ran fine after the install and a reboot.
My Local and Dev boxes (Apache AND IIS) both get the following error:

Based on that error output, it looks like there might be a type somewhere in the new files?

Note the "Z" at the end of that first line:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: coldfusion.filter.FusionContext.isSecureJSON()Z

Seems a bit odd, right?

Quick solution. Remove the HF. Find the c*2.jar file in your Jrun folder, move it out. (Don't try to rename it like I did, it'll still run.)

Thanks to Ray (via the #ColdFusion Dalnet IRC channel.)

Adobe still hasn't updated this page which is supposed to tell you which version you're running...:

Hi all, another question - it seems that when I log out the current user on Mac OS X 10.4.11, then the coldfusion server stops - can I prevent this somehow, as in to allow for user switching(different administrators working on it, whilst CF continues to do its thing, just like Apache..? guess I should have ticked a box somewhere during installation...
