I've been working _toward_ making my cms application compatible with BlueDragon myself... My biggest issue has actually been one of poorly scoped code on my part, using #pageid# to grab from either the form or url scope ( hey, I started all of this 5 years ago, when I first got into CF, what do you expect :) ... The comparison doc does mention that you can't reference form and url variables as if they were local variables, so you have to prepend either form or scope to your variable name if for no other reason than to set your local variable. Form and URL are also a combined scope on BlueDragon, so form.myvar and url.myvar are the same thing, which I think is a great idea, although I could see where it could cause problems in some rare applications where the scope of the variable is important. In any event, it's slow going, but I think I'm getting there...
I'm using the FuseBox trick to copy all the form and url variables to the attributes scope and then using the attributes scope for all my passed variables. <cfparam name="attributes" type="struct" default="#structnew()#"> <cfset temp = StructAppend(attributes,form,false)> <cfset temp = StructAppend(attributes,url,false)> This is great in my case because once I get all my poorly scoped local variables fixed up, this will work on both CF and BlueDragon -- and users on BlueDragon and comment out or remove the second <cfset> statement to get a small performance boost. At some point I'll probably wind up checking the server provider and putting a <cfif> statement around the second structappend() so that the comment will be unnecessary. I still have some questions about wddx, but I'm mostly convinced / hopeful it will work in both environments.
