How to prevent ColdFusion MX from answering /servlet/* URL requests

By default, ColdFusion MX will try to answer any URL request for /servlet/*, which may cause an error or unexpected result. The workaround is to disable the ServletInvoker mapping in default-web.xml.

The ColdFusion Server configuration and J2EE configuration on JRun are configured to answer all requests for /servlet/*. This becomes problematic when installing and configuring ColdFusion with a web server with the same servlet mapping. The ColdFusion/JRun web server connector will intercept the request, even though ColdFusion is not specifically configured for the servlet.

Stop the ColdFusion service and the web server.

Opencf_root/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/default-web.xml for editing.

Comment out the ServletInvoker mapping:

<!--<servlet-mapping><servlet-name>ServletInvoker</servlet-name><url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern></servlet-mapping>-->

Save the file.

Restart the ColdFusion service and the web server.

Stop the ColdFusion server instance and the web server.

Openjrun_root/servers/cfmx_server_instance/SERVER-INF/default-web.xml for editing.

Comment out the ServletInvoker mapping:

<!--<servlet-mapping><servlet-name>ServletInvoker</servlet-name><url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern></servlet-mapping>-->

Save the file.

Restart the ColdFusion server instance and the web server.
