CFMX for J2EE sits on another _Java_ server as instead of JRun. You will still need the web server of your choice to serve the application. Even though most Java Servers have built in web servers they are never recommended for a production environment.

Not sure what you're getting at here, but you don't get a J2EE server (not even the cut down JRun server) with CFMX for J2EE. You have to purchase this yourself. > And if you wish to use JRUN why not go out the whole hog for J2EE. > JRun is a J2EE server I believe. > If someone could give me advice on this I would be very grateful, > I am probably over worrying here, but it would be nice to know what be the > best JAVA CFMX integrated solution > for future scalability. > If you want a Java/CF server solution, you will need to investigate the various J2EE servers that are now available (commercial and open source), purchase the one that meets your need and then purchase CFMX for J2EE to sit on top of this server Hope this makes things clearer for you.
