Complete instructions for installing the Syndication Application can be found in Chapter V-4 of Reality ColdFusion MX J2EE Integration.  

Database: 

Access database NewsSyndicationDB.mdb is included in the .zip file. Install wherever you like and set up a Cold Fusion datasource pointing to it called NewsCenterDB. 

CFML:

Copy all of the pages in the .zip file under SyndicationApp/wwwroot into the wwwroot of your Cold Fusion application. There are three sections here, Admin for the administrator portion of the application, Client for the sample client pieces (cfml and jsp), and Webservices which enable the syndication of content.

JSP custom tag:

Copy the files under SyndicationApp/taglibrary into a folder. Use the java utility "jar" to create a .jar file called ArticleTagLib.jar which includes the three .class files under com/titlewave/syndication and the tag library descriptor under META-INF. Copy the .jar file into \CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib. 

This should be all the installation you need.
