It's not really any different from how IIS integrates with CF 5, I think. IIS receives the requests from browsers; if it's a request for a static file, IIS responds directly. If it's a request for a file or URL pattern (.cfm, .cfc, .jws file extensions, or servlet mappings) that IIS has been told to send to JRun, it'll forward the request information to JRun through an ISAPI extension. JRun will then process the request, generate the appropriate output, and send that output back to the web server, which then sends it back to the browser. > With this scenario (IIS and JRun) can CFMX use all of > its Java environment capabilities or does it need to > run on something like WebSphere or BEA Logic to take > full advantage of the Java environment? It depends on which version of CF MX you get. If you get the Professional Edition, you get very little integration with Java. If you get the Enterprise Edition, you can use JSPs, servlets, and JSP tag libraries. If you get CF MX for JRun, you can also integrate with EJBs and J2EE services like JMS. Of course, you'd have to get a separate copy of JRun for that, so it's a little more expensive. Also, CF MX for JRun hasn't been released yet, I don't think.
