Java and JVM Settings page
The Java and JVM Settings page lets you specify the following settings, which enable
ColdFusion MX to work with Java:
Note: This page is available in the server configuration only.
Before ColdFusion saves your changes, it saves a copy of the current
cf_root /runtime/bin/jvm.config file as jvm.bak. If your changes prevent ColdFusion from
restarting, use the jvm.bak file to restore your system. For more information, see the online help.
Settings Summary page
The Settings Summary page shows all ColdFusion configuration settings. Click a group name to
open that group’s Administrator section, where you can edit settings. This page is not enabled in
the Standard Edition.
