You can use the
cfcompile
utility with the -
deploy
option to create ColdFusion pages (CFM, CFC, and CFR files)
that contain Java bytecode. You can then deploy the bytecode versions of the ColdFusion pages instead of the original
CFML source code.
Use the following command to compile CFML files into bytecode format that you can deploy instead of CFML source code:
cfcompile -deploy webroot directory-to-compile output-directory
The following table describes these parameters:
After you run the
cfcompile
utility, perform the following steps:
1
Back up your original CFML files
2
Copy the generated bytecode CFML files to the original directory
3
Deploy the application.
The J2EE Archive screen of the ColdFusion Administrator lets you create an EAR or WAR file that contains bytecode
versions of your application’s CFML files.
