I've been able to install CF MX and the first Updater on Win2K Server with no difficulty. It was no more difficult for me than was CF 5. I seem to continually run into syntactical and behavioral differences between CF 5 and CF MX, most of which are not considered to be bugs and therefore are by definition my problem. But then I tend to "push the envelope" a lot.
I know the theory and the syntax behind Java. I've read the books. To date there's been no demand for me to work with Java professionally, and I wouldn't say that my knowledge of Java either detracts from or adds to my ability to work with CFMX. I did have to modify an xml file to get the CF MX internal webserver to acknowledge "default.cfm" as a default document, which was different than the GUI for IIS, but that's the only non-CF programming tweak I've had to make to the install. When I first got started doing CF at MCI ( yea, the telephone company that's in trouble recently for fraud ), 5 years ago they used default.cfm as their first default document and it's just always felt more logical to me than "index" ( which to me has always said "topographical reference at the end of a book" )... So I use index.cfm now for new projects just to keep from confusing other developers, or when I'm working on something in Fusebox, but my older stuff still uses default.cfm. s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 > Thanks! > Using CF 4.5.2 (still...) > I will bring this up, however. > I have been considering going to MX just to get up to date, > but I'm a little frightened by the fact that CF is now holding hands > with Java, or however it's actually been changed. > This is a major concern for me because I have no Java experience > and most of the problems and solutions I see expressed here on CF-Talk > just leave me bewildered.
