Other changes in ColdFusion MX 7

Crystal Reports integration
ColdFusion MX 7 supports Crystal Reports versions 9 and 10. Additionally, ColdFusion MX 7
now uses the RDC technology from the Crystal Reports API.
You must install Crystal Reports with the following options:
•
Enable export to disk
•
Enable export to HTML
Crystal Reports does not enable this options by default, so you must use the Custom Install
option when installing Crystal Reports.
Tip:
If you run the Crystal Report Designer and export a report to an HTML file, the necessary export
options are installed dynamically.
ColdFusion MX 7 uses COM to call the following Crystal Reports modules:
Version 9
Craxdrt9.dll
Version 10
Craxdrt.dll
These files are typically located in
C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Report Designer Component.

The Web Server Configuration Tool and the web server connector have the following changes:
•
There are new parameters for the command-line Web Server Configuration Tool. For more

■
ProxyRetryInterval The number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to an
unreachable clustered server . The default value is 600.
■

The default value is 15.

In addition to the suffix mappings used previously (.cfm, .cfml, .cfc, .jsp, and .jws) the Web
Server Connector Tool now creates web server mappings for .cfr (used by ColdFusion reports)
and .cfswf (used for Flash forms generated by the
cfform
tag).
•
In previous ColdFusion versions, web server connector source code was made available in a
connectors/src directory. In ColdFusion MX 7, web server connector source code is in the
wsconfig.jar file, located in
cf_root
/runtime/lib (server configuration) or
jrun_root
/lib
(multiserver configuration).
