Sean, The original question was a windows specific one (see subject), so the fact that ColdFusion does not run as a service is indeed important when starting and stopping (and is very much an architectural issue when you are accustomed to running multiple instances of application servers as I am). From what I understand, with the J2EE version, you do not start and stop ColdFusion itself, you start and stop the app server (or instance that CF is running on). Additionally, the fact that ColdFusion is no longer using the registry to store data (on Windows of course) is yet another major architectural difference. Also, the fact that you can literally "copy and paste" a completely new instance of ColdFusion Server, to run independently of any others on the same server, to me, is a HUGE architectural difference.
I assumed this thread was about ColdFusion's interaction with JRun and IIS. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Well, that's not really true. The standalone CFMX runs on top of a 'captive' version of JRun already. > These versions run as a J2EE application on top of the J2EE app server, > not as a service on the machine. You're talking specifically about Windows "services"? That's a minor convenience on Windows that is not architectural. On Unix, you start and stop CF as an application anyway.
