ColdFusion 9.0.1 Cumulative hot fix 4 (Release date: March 8 2013) includes support for Google Maps JavaScript API v3 and JDK 1.7 Update 15. This cumulative hot fix also includes few fixes that were not part of the previous hot fix. This cumulative hot fix is specific to ColdFusion 9.0.1.
What's new
- JDK 1.7: With ColdFusion 9.0.1 Cumulative hot fix 4, ColdFusion 9.0.1 is now certified on JDK 1.7 Update 15.
Note: JDK 1.7 is only supported on Mac OS X 10.7.3 and later. See this article for more details. ColdFusion 9.0.1 does not support Mac OS X 10.7 (see the Support Matrix). Therefore, Cumulative hot fix 4 does not certify ColdFusion 9.0.1 with JDK 1.7 on Mac OS X.
- Google Maps v3 Support
- With ColdFusion 9.0.1 Cumulative hot fix 4, Google Maps JavaScript API library is upgraded from v2 to v3.
- For Google Maps JavaScript API v3, the API key used for Google Maps API v2 no longer works.
- ColdFusion map functions and ColdFusion map related tags are backwards compatible. If your ColdFusion application uses native Google Maps JavaScript APIs, ensure that the code base is updated to v3. For more information, see the Google Maps JavaScript API v3 migration document.
Note:
- Cumulative hot fix 4 consists of previously released Cumulative hot fixes and Security hot fixes mentioned in the bulletins APSB11-29, APSB12-06, APSB12-15, APSB12-21, APSB12-26, and APSB13-03. There are also a few fixes that were not part of Cumulative hot fix 3.
- Cumulative hot fix 4 also addresses issues (3511975, 3508592) reported with Cumulative hot fix 3.

Installation instructions
The installation process is the same for all platforms and installation choices. Follow the instructions below to apply the fix.
Note:
- CFIDE-901.zip and WEB-INF.zip included in the hot fix contain only part of the CFIDE and WEB-INF files. Do not rename present CFIDE or WEB-INF folders to create a backup as per the instructions.
- Named application scope is not available in servlet context by default. To roll back to the previous state, add JVM flag -Dcoldfusion.allowappdatainservletcontext=true.
Definition of ColdFusion-Home
In the following procedures, {ColdFusion-Home} indicates the following:
- For Server installation: {ColdFusion-Home}
- For Multiserver installation: {JRun-Home}/servers/{YourServer}/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/
- For JEE installation: {cfusion-ear-Home}/cfusion-war/
- Download CF901.zip and CFIDE-901.zip. Extract both zip files.
- In ColdFusion Administrator, select System Information page by clicking the icon "i" in the upper-right corner.
- In the "Update File" text box, browse and select chf9010004.jar located under CF901/lib/updates.
- Click Submit Changes.
- Stop the ColdFusion instance.
- Go to {ColdFusion-Home}/lib/updates (for Server installation) or {ColdFusion-Home}/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/updates (for Multiserver and J2EE installations) directory. If chf9010001.jar, chf9010002.jar, chf9010003.jar, hf901-00001.jar, hf901-00002.jar, hf901-00003.jar, hf901-00004.jar, hf901-00005.jar, hf901-00006.jar, hf901-00007.jar, hf901-00008.jar exist, move them to a backup location. Otherwise, ignore this step.
- Go to {CFIDE-HOME} and take a backup of CFIDE folder.
- Extract all the files in CFIDE-901.zip to merge in the web root directory that has {CFIDE-HOME} folder.
- Go to {ColdFusion-Home}/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory and take a backup of WEB-INF folder.
- Go to CF901 directory, extract and merge all the files in WEB-INF.zip to {ColdFusion-Home}/wwwroot (for Server Install) and {ColdFusion-Home} (for MultiServer and J2EE installations) directory.
- Go to your {ColdFusion-Home}/lib (for Server Install) and {ColdFusion-Home}/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib (for MultiServer and J2EE install) and take a backup of given files, if present log4j.properties, validation.properties, ESAPI.properties, commons-fileupload-1.2.jar, esapi-2.0_rc10.jar, jpedal.jar, flex-messaging-common.jar, flex-messaging-core.jar, ib6core.jar, ib6http.jar, ib6swing.jar, and ib6util.jar.

- If you wish to configure ColdFusion with JDK 1.7, refer this article for further instructions. Otherwise, ignore this step.
- Start the ColdFusion Instance.
- If there are multiple instances, repeat steps 2 through 15 for each instance.
Note:
You can get the following error when starting a ColdFusion instance configured with JDK 1.7:
"MSVCR100.dll is missing."
To resolve this issue, copy msvcr100.dll from {JDK Home}\jre\bin to {ColdFusion-Home}\runtime\bin.
Uninstall Cumulative hot fix 4
To uninstall the Cumulative hot fix:
