Deploying event gateways and applications
To deploy an event gateway application in a ColdFusion server, you must install your listener CFC and configure an gateway instance that uses the CFC.
To deploy an event gateway application
- Ensure that the ColdFusion MX Administrator is configured with the required event gateway type. If it is not, deploy the event gateway type as described in Deploying an event gateway.
- If the event gateway type requires a configuration file, ensure that there is a valid file in the gateway\config directory. Some event gateways might be designed to let multiple event gateway instances share a configuration file. Others might require a separate file for each event gateway instance.
- Install the event gateway application listener CFC and any other application components. ColdFusion MX provides a cf_root\gateways\cfc directory as a convenient location for these CFCs, and includes a mapping in the ColdFusion MX Administrator page for that directory. However, ColdFusion does not require you to install the listener CFC in this directory.
- Configure an event gateway instance on the Gateways page of the Event Gateways section in the ColdFusion MX Administrator, as described in Configuring an event gateway instance.
