I just posted the following to the BACFUG list - after Vince's
presentation to the user group tonight.
||| forwarded message |||
I found Vince's talk about JSP for CFers very interesting. I am
somewhat familiar with JSP but to see a side-by-side comparison like
this was enlightening, especially the section on the new JSTL
specification.
Vince's demo of BlueDragon - more or less in place of the usual Q&A
session - was also worth seeing. Vince showed how you can develop CF
applications using BD on Tomcat and then deploy as a 'compiled' Web
Archive file to a different J2EE application server - he took Ben
Forta's CF5 Construction Kit as an example, showed it running on
BD/Tomcat and then created a .war file which he then deployed to BEA's
WebLogic and showed it running. Impressive. And, as I had to concede,
something that is not possible with CFMX at the moment.
I had already downloaded both the Tomcat installer and the BlueDragon
trial about a month ago but had been too busy to actually install
either. While Vince talked, I installed Tomcat and BlueDragon in just a
few minutes:
tar xvfz jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12.tar.gz
mv jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12 /home/tomcat
tar xvfz BlueDragon.tar.gz
cp -r BlueDragon_J2EE /home/tomcat/webapps/bd
cd /home/tomcat/bin
./startup.sh
Then hit http://localhost:8080/bd/bluedragon/admin.cfm and explored the
BlueDragon administrator. Simple but effective. The developer edition
pops up an alert every 20 requests which is kind of annoying but a very
effective way to ensure no one tries to deploy to production!
