Updating JVM (using IIS and Coldfusion)

Question

I recently created my first java class and compiled it using
the new java SDK. I Registered my new CFX Tag and now I get this
error "500 HelloColdFusion (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)"
when trying to access it in my .cfm test page. I read that this is
because I used a new version of JVM to compile the class and the
jvm coldfusion has installed is older. How do I update coldfusion
to look at the new jvm ?

Answer 1

This fixes ERROR "Unsupported major.minor version 49.0" and
"Unsupported major.minor version 50.0" on my Windows Server 2003
SP1 and Coldfusion MX 7.02 system.
1. Make sure the ColdFusion service is stopped.
2. Download JRun4 Updater from
http://www.macromedia.com/support/jrun/updaters.ht...
jrun4-win-en-updater.exe
3. Install JRun4 Updater into the runtime folder of your
ColdFusion install directory.
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime
4. Download and install Java JDK 1.5 (
jdk-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe )
5. Open both jvm.config files found in these directories:
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\updater6-backup\bin
6. Find the line that sets the java.home property under the
"VM Configuration" heading ( change
"java.home=C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/jre" to "java.home=C:/Program
Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_11/jre" in both files.
7. Restart coldfusion.
I hope this saves you all time.
