Running OSX 10.9.3 with ColdFusion 9.0.1. Was running on Java 1.6 and now trying to update to Java 1.7. I've updated CF with the proper hotfix for 1.7 compatibility. I installed the 64-bit 1.7 JDK as well.

Now I have Java in two places:

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk

When I run 

java -version

I get java 

version "1.7.0_60" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode)

but when I restart CF it comes up and reports 

Java Version    1.6.0_65  
Java Vendor     Apple Inc.  
Java Vendor URL     http://www.apple.com/
Java Home   /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

I changed the symlink in

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

to 

CurrentJDK@ -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/

but a CF restart still reports Apple's 1.6. I also tried updating the jvm.config and setting java.home (which was previously blank) to 

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre

and a restart and still no luck. Where is CF looking for the JVM and how to make CF see 1.7?

    Not really a question about programming. Better suited for Server Fault – Scott Stroz Jun 10 '14 at 20:03

  • Still no luck. Set JAVA_HOME in bash profile. Updated JAVA_HOME in /bin/coldfusion /bin/jvm.config and /runtime/bin/usconfig_jvm.config and still no luck. Starts up fine but still reports 1.6. I have no idea where the CF server is looking for the JVM. – crazy4mustang Jun 12 '14 at 21:13

I posted a similar question Why can't I update Java from 1.6 to 1.7 on Coldfusion 9.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.8.5 but had no luck.

This answer below according to Adobe: (See comments 40-41). It appears that this configuration is not supported by Adobe. Time to upgrade (or move to OBD/PHP).
