I've got nothing against BlueDragon, but JRun for the extra $3300 gives me little things like EJB, JMS, JXTA, and a whole bunch of other acronyms I can't understand.
One group I worked with was migrating legacy CF (~4.0) app to Websphere 4.0. That project died and would have been a gimme for CFMX -- but by the time the CFMX for J2EE version was out they were deep in EJB-land. JRun/CFMX remains an option; WebSphere/CFMX remains an option. Bluedragon doesn't unless I move up to for J2EE which costs 2499/CPU. So > > JRun 4 + CFMX = $900/CPU + $3400/CPU = $4300/CPU JRun 4 + BlueDragon for J2EE = $900/CPU + 2499/CPU = $3400/CPU ($4400 with support) not *that* big a cost savings. Plus if I need Flash Remoting, what's that go for -- something like $900 more? But cost is a poor comparison. Studies show blah blah hard/software are 10/20/30% of project total cost over time. blah blah maintenance. And I've got my fingers crossed that you guys get everything straight with JBoss which becomes Tomcat/Jetty/etc + JBoss + BlueDragon for J2EE = $0/CPU + $0/CPU + 2499/CPU = $2499/CPU ($3499 with support) Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dick Applebaum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 9:55 PM Subject: Re: BlueDragon J2EE on OSX - Working !!! > On Tuesday, January 7, 2003, at 06:39 PM, Vince Bonfanti wrote: > > > JRun 4 + CFMX = $900/CPU + $3400/CPU = $4300/CPU > > Tomcat + BlueDragon = Free + $1000/server = $1000/server > > Tomcat + CFMX for J2EE = Free + $3400/CPU = $3400/CPU > > Just to make the numbers right! > > But, is cost of acquisition the issue? > > If so, BlueDragon wins. > > What is the value of a J2EE-Certified app server (JRun). > > What is the value of latest version of CFML? > > What is the value of Clustering/Load-balancing, multiple server > deployment.? > > I haven't looked at BlueDragon recently, so I do not know if these > features are available. > > The point I am trying to make is that they are different products for > different users. > > Dick > > > > > Vince Bonfanti > > New Atlanta Communications, LLC > > http://www.newatlanta.com/bluedragon > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > >> Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 1:24 PM > >> To: CF-Talk > >> Subject: Re: BlueDragon J2EE on OSX - Working !!! > >> > >> > >> On Wednesday, Dec 11, 2002, at 07:11 US/Pacific, Joshua Miller wrote: > >>> If you're interested, just use the default Apache > >> installation, then > >>> download Tomcat from http://jakarta.apache.org, then download > >>> BlueDragon for J2EE from www.newatlanta.com and install > >> them in order > >>> (Apache, Tomcat, BlueDragon) - Now you can serve CFML from your Mac. > >> > >> You can now download JRun 4 for Mac OS X and CFMX for J2EE (JRun) for > >> Mac OS X.
