I receive this message when trying to create a new application using
the Dashboard Application Generator. I followed your instructions via
the "connect" presentation you provide. I am developing on a server
instead of the local machine. And I've tried this with version 2.6.0 &
2.6.3. Here's the error:
An error occurred generating your application. Please look at the logs
for more information. Diagnostic: An exception occurred while
instantiating a Java object. The class must not be an interface or an
abstract class. If the class has a constructor that accepts an
argument, you must call the constructor explicitly using the init
(args) method. Error : java.util.zip.ZipFile Object Instantiation
Exception.
Any ideas?
Hmm, that seems weird. What version of ColdFusion you using and what JVM.
I was sure this question was coming:)
Win 2003 Web Edition Server
IIS
CF8 8,0,1,195765 Enterprise
JVM 1.6.0_04
Multi-server config.
VMWare Environment
Cisco Security Agent
This is what mine said:
An error occurred generating your application. Please look at the logs
for more information. Diagnostic: The cause of this exception was:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\workspaces\coldbox\svh\.project (The
system cannot find the file specified). An error occurred when
performing a file operation read on file C:\workspaces\coldbox\svh
\.project.
Looks like it might be choking on files starting with . something.
Weird,
Never seen that.
It didn’t write the file and it looks like because of that it didn’t update the values I put in the form (@FORMVALUE@) in the setting file…
I’ve got it working now but it took some trial and error attempts 
Thanks
