CF10 with Java 8

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:30:46 GMT

Hello,

Has anyone else tried to use CF with Java 8 preview? If you have tried Java 8 preview have you noticed anything interesting?

Something to share. Java 8 uses memory differently to Java 7 or 6 (reminder Java 6 is EOL). The non heap memory Permanent generation has been done away with and is now consumed in a new memory space called Metaspace. I guess that will mean CF folks will not see the dreaded “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in coldfusion-out.log anymore.

For interested readers here is my CF10 Summary part:

For those more curious about Java memory heap, non heap spaces and garbage collection here is a portion of CF10 verbose Java 8 log:

I should add Java 8 is preview and not officially support by Adobe CF so do not install it on your CF production or any environment that you rely on.

Java 8 release is expected March 2014. That might seem a long way off but like the previous Java 7 release can creep up on you rather quickly.

JDK7 G1 Garbage Collector

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:16:51 GMT

Hi,

I notice JDK7 preview is available:

http://jdk7.java.net/

Have done a small amount of testing with Java 7 on CF9 and find encouraging results for application performance particularly with the new Generational One collector (not sure what the correct terminology is for that) -XX:+UseG1GC in place of the usual -XX:+UseParallelGC garbage collector. Don’t let the new collector scare you the ParallelGC we all use and love still works with Java 7.

Once JDK7 is installed, edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config (need I mention backup the original first?) eg:

java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0\\jre

# Arguments to VM

java.args=-server -Xmx512m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseG1GC

etc

CF10 tomcat metrics logging

Logging mechanism in ColdFusion 10

ColdFusion 10 logs Tomcat metrics to metrics.log

I can not find the metrics log on the file system or CFadmin web page. Is there some way of enabling the CF10 metrics logging as there was with older CF7 8 9 versions to enable jrun metrics logging? eg:

As always thanks, Carl.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:08:51 GMT

Why do coldfusion-error.log and coldfusion-out.log display oldest to newest information? When reading the log you have to press Next to get current details and there is no skip or end option to get to the current details quickly (other than say reading it on the operating system).

The other CF10 logs (application, audit, http etc) correctly display recent entries first.

logging tomcat messages

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 00:45:22 GMT

On CF9,8,7 some of the error or warning messages that would write to CF\runtime\logs\ (Jrun4\logs case mutiserver) coldfusion-event.log and coldfusion-out.log are valuable to diagnosis of CF/jrun/java issues that can be rectified. While CF10 CFadmin > Debugging & Logging > Log Files has “server log” it misses much of the error or warning details that you could rely on from the coldfusion -event -out.log. It would be good if the tomcat/java details pertaining to Heap, Garbage Collection, Perm Space etc could be written to CF10 CFadmin > Debugging & Logging > Log Files or ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\logs for reference case any of those where having a problem? Perhaps something akin to native tomcat7-stderr.log or catalina.log would be useful details to have to check on CF/tomcat/java issues?

I notice the tomcat/java messages can be seen via running CF10 in console mode however running CF in console mode is not always an option and having some kind of log history to refer to can be helpful to track down a problem and apply suitable change to fix.

If I deliberately crash CF10 by filling the Heap or Perm Space I can see Heap or Perm Space messages in console mode. If I run CF10 as a service (as you normally would) and apply same conditions to crash it there are no log contents to integrate and see - I had a Perm Space problem, let’s stop that occurring again via such and such CFadmin > Server Settings > Java and JVM alteration.

Thanks in advance, Carl.

Enable CF metrics logging

CF Metrics logging is useful for examining performance problems.

To enable you would edit JRun.XML and apply some changes; details:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19120.html

Since CF10 does not use JRun now changed to Tomcat, how would one enable something similar to CF Metrics logging?

Thanks in advance, Carl.

CF installer server or multi-server configuration

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:41 GMT

Previous versions of CF installer allow you to install either server or multi-server configuration.

This made it hard to change a CF box from server to multi-server since you would have to re-install CF to apply change.

CF10 installer lets you install stand-alone installation. After installing ColdFusion in stand-alone mode, you can create multiple instances (provided you have an Enterprise or Dev license).

Nice. Easy to alter a CF box from server to multi-server.

Server update... The updates can include hot fixes and security hot fixes for ColdFusion 10.

Will traditional "CF updaters" be a separate process apart from hotfix, cumulative hotfix and security update eg ColdFusion 9 Update 1 (9.0.1)?

Will the update type be specific and say-

Update Type: cumulative or hotfix or security?

Previously patch order had a bearing on the wellbeing of CF. For instance one would elect to install say updater1 followed by cumulative hotfix then subsequent security patch eg CF9.0.1, CHF1, APSBxx-xx. Will CF10 updater manage patch order or prerequisites not allowing incorrect update order?

Thanks, Carl.

to apply CHF1 for CF9.0.1 or not

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 04:56:14 GMT

Hello,

Has anyone else applied CF9.0.1 latest security patch? See:

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-14.html

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/907/cpsid_90784.html

Post upgrade I end up with a new log file \ColdFusion9\runtime\logs\esapiconfig.log.

CFadmin UI (http://.../cfide/administrator/index.cfm) - System Information post upgrade reports:

System Information
Server Details
Server Product ColdFusion
Version 9,0,1,274733
Update Level /C:/ColdFusion9/lib/updates/hf901-00002.jar
Adobe Driver Version 4.0 (Build 0005)

What is the esapiconfig.log file for?

Does CHF1 for CF9.0.1 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86263.html) need to be installed on a fresh installation since appears to me this new update deletes it? If so I guess fresh install process would be CF9 + updater1 + zips with JAR and files in cpsid_90784.html.

Thanks in advance, Carl.

CF8 version 8.0.1.0000

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:48:15 GMT

Hello,

Has anyone else applied CF8.0.1 latest security patch? See:

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-14.html

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/907/cpsid_90784.html

An odd thing happens to the CFadmin UI (http://.../cfide/administrator/index.cfm) - System Information post upgrade. Before it reports:

System Information
Server Details
Server Product ColdFusion
Version 8,0,1,195765
Update Level /D:/ColdFusion8/lib/updates/chf8010004.jar

So that is CF8.0.1 with CHF4 applied.

Post upgrade it reports:

System Information
Server Details
Server Product ColdFusion
Version 8,0,1,00000
Update Level /D:/ColdFusion8/lib/updates/hf801-00003.jar

I have not yet applied the patch to CF9.0.1 to see if a similar thing occurs. My CF applications seem to be working OK.

Regards, Carl.

Server Manager Mail Server Settings missing options

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:20:24 GMT

Hello,

CF Server Manager does not have options for some of the CF9 Server Settings > Mail details. These ones are not accessible via CF Server Manager:

-Sign, Keystore, KeystorePassword, KeyAlias & KeyPassword

Eg:

CF Server Manager Mail

CF9 CFadmin UI portion

Should Server Manager have the "secure" mail settings available for editing?

Thanks in advance, Carl.

APSB11-14 CF9.0.1 message in log

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 07:28:27 GMT

Hi,

Since applying security update APSB11-14 to CF9.0.1 when I login to CFADMIN I get these errors reported in C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\logs\coldfusion-out.log:

What is and why does this occur since update in APSB11-14?

Refer to URL's:

CF Server Manager Questions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:54:42 GMT

Hello

I think CF Server Manager can be a useful tool for anyone working on multiple CF systems. I have some CF Server Manager questions.

When using Server Manager you get 3 views.

1) Quick

2) Details

3) Errors

Quick View:

What are the Alerts and Warnings? How to configure them to get some meaningful information?

Details View:

What are Running Requests and why no details? What are the Errors? What do the Errors relate to eg CFadminUI > Debugging & Logging > Log Files, CF\runtime\logs\OUT or EVENT log?

Error View:

Why no information though details view says errors exist?

Thanks in advance, Carl.

CF Server Manager 9.0.1 + CHF1 error

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:59:46 GMT

Hello,

I have been trialling ColdFusion Server Manager.

With CF SM you can apply hotfix remotely.

Cumulative hotfix 1 (CHF1) for CF 9.0.1 has some manual steps:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86263.html

I suspect you still need to perform the manual steps connected to the server? Does that reduce the usefulness of SM for applying updates hotfix?

Since applying CHF1 to CF9.0.1 SM can no longer connect to those updated CF servers. Eg:

Has anyone else tried CF SM with CF 9.0.1 + CHF1?

Regards, Carl.

java 1.6.0_22-b04 ParallelGC

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 05:19:11 GMT

Hi,

Has anyone had any nasty experience changing the Java JVM to java 1.6.0_22? I see there are some fixes to UseParallelGC garbage collector which CF uses by default. My testing has gone OK however I have not switched a production CF system from 1.6.0_21 (CF9.01 comes with 1.6.0_17).

Cheers, Carl.

CF8 and CF9 CFadmin - Request Tuning

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:07:38 GMT

Greetings,

I am evaluating suitable values to put in CF8 and CF9 Server Settings > Request Tuning - particularly threads sections.

Are the default installed values the best for performance and stability or should changes be made? The CF9 performance brief (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_performancebrief_ue.pdf) has these values configured differently from the default install:

Maximum number of simultaneous template requests 30 (10 CF8 & CF9 default)

Max running Jrun threads 100 (50 CF8 & CF9 default)

Even the value of Max running Jrun threads 100 would seem low, since I have been monitoring an idle (not serving any web pages applications) CF9 with Java JDK JCONSOLE and notice threads in use is 70.

Thanks in advance, Carl.

just noticed CF8 standard differs from CF8 Enterprise in the default values listed:

Maximum number of simultaneous template requests 50

Max running Jrun threads n/a

Altering maximum JVM Heap Size to 1024 gives error

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:00:02 GMT

Altering maximum JVM Heap Size to 1024 gives error.

Environment:

CF9
O/S Windows 2003 R2 Sp2
CPU XEON
RAM 2Gb

After installing ColdFusion one of the settings that gets changed is:
Server Settings > Java and JVM > Maximum JVM Heap Size (MB) 1024
ColdFusion Application service will not start with this setting. An error file is created in \ColdFusion9\runtime\bin\hs_err_pid1234.log (where 1234 number changes). The log file details are long so will paste a sample soon.

Arguments to the JVM are:
java.args=-server -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{appli cation.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application. home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars

The 1024m max JVM is one of the commonly recommended changes. Why would altering maximum JVM setting from 512m stop ColdFusion from functioning?

CF9 CF8 downgrade key

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:40:41 GMT

Hello

I have a CF9 Standard licence. The web products in use are not CF9 compatible yet. The web products work under CF8.

How can I get a CF8 downgrade licence if I am holding a CF9 licence?

Thanks, Carl.
