It's rare you'll hear me complain but in this instance I think it's ridiculous...having to re-buy the same product for the J2EE version? (license transfer resulting in a single copy). That's over $12,000 CDN for single license of CFMX. (That Enterprise price tag plus license transfer cost.) I was expecting to incur SOME cost...but not close to full price...

CFMX Enterprise does allow this, using J2EE sessions and the underlying "buddy list" functionality of the subset of JRun that CFMX Enterprise runs on, I think. > I would like to move to Java Sessions but I need a Java > Application server like JRUN or Websphere to manage the > sessions. Again, I don't think that's true. You can use J2EE sessions now in CFMX; just enable it in the CF Administrator. This will allow you to share session data between .cfm pages and other servlets or JSP pages you might run on CFMX. > Wish that if I go to J2EE and started with JRUN > that if down the road I moved to Websphere I could do > that without another cost. What is a person to do? I wish for a lot of things, too, but Macromedia is in the business of selling software - it costs them money to develop all these different versions, and it doesn't surprise me too much that they want money for each of them.
