Proof that Contribute Publishing Server really is J2EE

Friday, November 4th, 2005

Contribute Publishing Server can run on WebSphere Application Server.The Server Team at work has successfully installed Macromedia’s Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) on WebSphere Express 6.0. This is huge news for me because now I have more confidence that we will be successful at installing ColdFusion MX 7 on WebSphere. Maybe my woes with Windows Server and IIS will end sooner than I can imagine!

One thing that I did learn is that CPS will not run correctly on WebSphere 5.0. Take note if you’re trying to do this.

I think Macromedia’s J2EE push in recent years is awesome. My department will feel even better about its investment in a solid Java foundation with the installation of many of Macromedia’s heavy-hitter enterprise applications (the CPS/CFMX/maybe-Flex trifecta).

More details on configuring CPS to work with Active Directory for Contribute 3 user authentication in a future entry. If you are feeling excruciating pain with this, you are not alone.

    Ok I really don’t understand the podcast thing. Really it is just like a radio broadcast, correct? If so are there normally commercials, or does that depend on what the authors/djs want to do? One final question does the itunes software look for podcast updates automatically or do I have to look for them?
