Compiling a cfc coldfusion file

[Hyperblaze]

I've got the source code for an app in coldfusion that I'd like to compile.

There are a bunch of cfc and cfm files. I have coldfusion 8.0 installed on the server too.

These cfc and cfm files work with java I believe.

Would anyone have any ideas how to comfile these cfc/cfm files to work with java?

Any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Typically it's the other way around. You take java (or .net now) and compile it for use within ColdFusion in much the same way you'd use a CFC.

I don't believe there is a way to compile ColdFusion code to be used by a java application.

There is a file called /opt/coldfusion8.0/bin/cfencode which I believe "encodes" the coldfusion files

unfortunately....

if I run it using root I get

sudo ./cfencode.linux
./cfencode.linux: error while loading shared libraries: libporting.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ended up downgrading to coldfusionmx7.0 since libporting.so was just not found in the library folders

LD_LIBRARY_PATH has /opt/coldfusionmx7.0/lib in it's path

If I run ./cfencode.linux /<directory>/file.cfc

I get...Segmentation fault

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

If you're looking for source code obfuscation, then cfencode is useful. Read up on its use here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/cold.../htmldocs/reusec16.htm

If you're looking to compile the application for distribution (source obfuscation can't be reversed) or to increase initial load times, then you might want cfcompile: http://livedocs.adobe.com/cold...ntent=deploying_5.html

If you want to be able to use your ColdFusion procedures or components within a Java application, then you're up a creek without a paddle.

thanks for your help.

To be honest, due to my lack of knowledge in coldfusion, I was driving blind.

I was also using cold fusion 8 which has libporting.so missing and cfcompile missing in there (don't know why).

Ended up using cold fusion mx 7 with a bit more success

Also started using cfcompile which was more what I was trying to do

Thanks for your help, it was very enlightening
