Post-install problems

CLOB and data corruption

Problem: You are using the Japanese version of ColdFusion MX 7 and Oracle 8/9 with NLS_Characterset JA16SJJS, and encounter CLOB corruption and data corruption.

Solution: Set codepageoverride=MS932 in the JDBC URL.

Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters

Problem: You are running ColdFusion MX 7 on WebSphere 5.1 on IBM JVM 1.4.1 and encounter an "Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters" exception.

Solution: You must install unlimited jurisdiction policy files, as follows:

  1. Download and install Unrestricted JCE Policy files for IBM SDK 1.4 from https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/jcesdk/jcesdk-p.
  2. Unzip the file.
  3. Copy files unzipped from this link to the jre/lib/security directory.
  4. Restart WebSphere.

Virtual mapping resource path of /* does not work

Problem: You add a virtual mapping resource path of /* which does not work.

Solution: Do not map any directories to wildcard resource paths that contain WEB-INF as a virtual mapping. In ColdFusion MX 6.1, the fact that this worked was a side-effect of the particular way the classloader was configured. For ColdFusion MX 7, the classloader is consistent across all editions; the ColdFusion classloader is no longer blended with the application server's classloader. This change was made to ensure that ColdFusion MX 7 works consistently in standalone server as well as deployed as an EAR/WAR to any certified J2EE application server.
