We are heavily into IBMs technologey, we even ran Websephere studio for a while which is the commerciasl version of eclipse... we also use RUP clearcase and lotus we're an IBM company.... > I can't get anybody to actually believe that ColdFusion actually compliments > this choice. I keep getting told that it "could never handle the load" or > that it's "nothing but a prototyping system". This is where we get lucky here people actually see the value of MX (or MX7) I am hoping to see some good MX7 stuff by years end, which probably means next year, we have one POC runnign right now on a Websephere box. First they need to be reminded that if CF can't handle the load thats implicitly saying Java cannot handle the load either. If it can not handle the load why does the gov't use it so much on critical systems. If its a prototyping language why does a divisdion of Ebay (half.com) use it for parts of thier website. My suggestion was to take one of our Java achitects to CFUNITED and let him meet some fo the people out there that are doing CF on clusters or load balanced systems and let them talk first hand with those of us out there using CF to its full potential...I know inhouse we are not even close....Just my nickle and a few pennies.
