Macromedia has created a hot fix to address issues with the cfform controls in Macromedia ColdFusion MX 6.1.

The updated JAR file resolves the following issues with the cfform applets:

  • 52093 - Required fields in cfform / cfinput are not processed in the order they are defined within the form.
  • 53319 - When more than one image is specified for cftreeitem, the first specified image is displayed for all levels.
  • 53398 - Using cftree and cftreeitem throws Java ClassCastException error.
  • 53624 - cftree fails when using null values. *

* Issue 53624 added on 12/1/03. Hot fix download updated to include fix for this issue.

ColdFusion MX 6.1 - J2EE Configuration ColdFusion MX 6.1 - J2EE Configuration with JRun

Follow the instructions below to install the hot fix for ColdFusion MX 6.1 in the J2EE configuration with a J2EE server including JRun:

  1. Download the hot fix (77K).
  2. Extract hf53398_61.jar from the downloaded ZIP file, replacing any previous versions of hf53398_61.jar if applicable, into thecf_root/WEB-INF/lib directory.
  3. Change the Context Parametercf.class.path

    in the Deployment Descriptor (cf_root/WEB-INF/web.xml)

    for the Web Application "Macromedia ColdFusion MX" (cfusion.war)



    from:

    ./WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/cfusion.jar



    to:

    ./WEB-INF/lib/hf53398_61.jar,./WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/cfusion.jar



    • Note that the two paths in cf.class.path each start with a period and are separated by a comma.
    • Do not confuse ./WEB-INF/lib (which contains the hot fix jar file) with ./WEB-INF/cfusion/lib (which contains cfusion.jar).
  4. Backup the following files:
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/tree.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/treeitem.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/applet.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/grid.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/input.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/select.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/slider.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/textinput.cfm
    • cf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/form.cfm
  5. Extract the CFM files from the downloaded ZIP file, intocf_root/WEB-INF/cftags/.
  6. Stop and restart the J2EE server for changes to take effect.
  7. Examine the ColdFusion MX Administrator System Information page and confirm that hot fix hf53398_61.jar shows up in the Version section like 6,1,0 hf53398_61. Note: You will not see this jar in the Java Class Path because the hot fix jar is being loaded in the Coldfusion Class Path.
  8. Repeat steps for each deployed instance of ColdFusion.

About changing the Deployment Descriptor

  • Deployment Descriptor Context Parameters can be changed using the J2EE Administrator Control Panel (WebLogic and JRun) or by using the Application Assembly Tool (Websphere). If your J2EE server does not have such a tool, you must make sure that the Context Parameter change is made for all deployed instances of ColdFusion. It may be necessary to un-deploy CFMX, make the change, then re-deploy CFMX. See your J2EE documentation for other methods.
  • Be sure to Persist (WebLogic) or Save (Websphere) your changes after you change the value for cf.class.path.
  • You will usually need to stop and restart your J2EE server to make these changes effective.
