Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 - ColdFusion 8 Gotcha

Posted by Paul Marcotte | Tags: OS X , ColdFusion , Java

If you're a Mac person and haven't already installed ColdFusion 8 on 10.5 (Leopard), be aware that updating Java will cause the ColdFusion 8 (64-bit OS X) installer to fail. The problem appears to be that the Java version "1.5.0_16" is unrecognized by the installer as a supported 64-bit version of Java. Note that CF8 will run on Java version 1.5.0_16 for Mac, but it will not install to it.

ColdFusion developers on Mac take note. Updating Java to J2SE Relase 5 will cause a "CFCServlet must be initialized" error when you use Application.cfc. Normally, I don't go hunting down the next version of Java to install, I simply neglected to uncheck this install during a recent Software Update. If you have updated and are currently seeking a fix, my temp fix is to change the CurrentJDK symbolic link under /System/Library/frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions back to 1.4.2 (which, by the way was also update, but at least still works!).
