TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

With Java updates now happening quarterly (and one just this week), it's important that ColdFusion administrators and/or developers keep up to date on the Java version underlying their CF (or Lucee) deployments. The simplest question may of course be "how do I perform such a JVM update, effectively"--and it really can be quite simple. But there's a good bit more to updating Java (aka the jvm, jdk, jre).

In this session, veteran troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share his experience helping people deal with this topic about weekly for many years, including:

• Considering and planning for the jvm update: On the many "current" JVM versions; what jvm do you have, what can you update to, and why should you
• Performing the jvm update: where to get it, which one to choose and how to install it, how to configure CF to use it
• Avoiding various potential gotchas when updating the JVM
• How to be made aware of new JVM versions

Whether you use CF or Lucee, and regardless of whether you deploy these traditionally or via Commandbox or even containers, most of this presentation will apply to you.
