Recently I coming across a lot of configurations that are required for new servers like JBoss 6 & 7. So I thought of jotting them at a single place. I may be mentioning them in brief sometimes and sometimes I would provide as much detail as I can.

JBoss & Cookie Expiry : With JBoss 6 and 7, cookies by default specify the expiration time of cookie as "Max-Age" header attribute instead of "Expires". I have written a detail about this here.

Random number generation and server start up is slow on Unix platforms for some of the servers. This is because of /dev/random is used in Unix platforms for random number generation. I have added a detail entry explaining the problem and solution here.

JBoss 7 AS, has modular class loading. It provides true application isolation, hiding server implementation classes from application and only loading the classes your application needs. Modules, packaged as collections of classes, are peers that remain isolated unless explicitly defined as a dependency of another module. These visibility rules can be customized.

Due to this design, JBoss modules does not load everything from rt.jar and many other system jars by default. As a result you may get ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFounfError for a lot of classes. Read here for solution and workarounds available for this.

I will keep updating follow my blog here for a complete updated list.

How many times you have wished there was a simpler way to apply hot-fixes? How many times number of steps involved have caused inconvenience and errors in deployment? The debugging required in most of these cases really takes a long time. Same is true for uninstalling a particular hot-fix.

With ColdFusion 10, all of this will be solved and hot-fix installation will becomes a one click activity. Hot-fix installer (updater) is bundled within ColdFusion 10. This will eliminate the hassles of copying files, deleting files, different hot-fixes like cumulative, security etc. There will be always a single cumulative hoti-fix available. Hot-fix installer will take care of all the work required to update the server and will also keep the back up.

Read my blog here to know details about this feature.
