Problem Description: Importing a car file from a CF 10 server breaks the cf 11 installation. It appears that importing a car file from a CF10 installation updates the jvm config paths. This causes the installation to break when the server or coldfusion is restarted because the paths to the JVM are updated with the old paths from the CF10 installation. In a real world scenario, any updates to the jvm config should not change the basic paths that are used by the server.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a car file from a Coldfusion 10 instance. select all settings. Then in the CF11 administrator, upload the new car file. Once the car file done updating the configuration, look at the jvm.config in c:\Coldfusion11\cfusion\bin\ directory. You should see that the Coldfusion jre and application paths are changed.
ie the config looks like:
java.home=C:\\ColdFusion10\\jre
application.home=C:\\ColdFusion10\\cfusion
instead of:
java.home=C:\\ColdFusion11\\jre
application.home=C:\\ColdFusion11\\cfusion
Notice the change from 11 to 10
Actual Result:
java.home and application.home are set to the same path as the importing app, even though the Coldfusion server is installed differently.
java.home=C:\\ColdFusion11\\jre
application.home=C:\\ColdFusion11\\cfusion
Expected Result:
Coldfusion should not be updating the java.home path nor the application.home path, particularly when doing so will break the system.
Any Workarounds:
Manually change the jvm.config file and change the path to the correct path, then everything works
