Our client has purchased IBM Analytics, that they want to run with the ColdFusion servers. IBM has given over the EAR files to deploy on Tomcat. But, ColdFusion uses a highly modified Tomcat. How would someone deploy another J2EE app in this scenario, without installing another server?

Hi,
Thank you for your post. Please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18c28-7fda.htm... for J2EE deployment.

Anit,
The information there appears to be about installing a J2EE version of CF. Are you saying that this same process can be used to deploy other J2EE apps as well?

You can't deploy an EAR file on tomcat alone, it is only a servlet container so you can only deploy WAR files -- you need to install a full J2EE server like JBoss to deploy EAR files. Now it could be that the EAR file only contains a WAR file, and the WAR file could be extracted (these are just zip files with different extensions) and deployed by copying bits into the existing WEB-INF, but that may or may not work.
