I don't know quite why you keep saying people have to copy their code into the deployed app. I never have my code inside the web app. If it's a simple website, I'll have the CF code in the Apache docroot alongside the images etc. If it's more complex, I'll have the CF code its own area, separate from the CFMX install. No "copying" is involved. > And Sean wrote favorably of his experience implementing > BlueDragon/J2EE on Tomcat > (http://www.corfield.org/ > index.php?fuseaction=blog.archive&month=2002_12#000 > 066). Indeed. It does not offer many options during installation - which is both convenient (for installation) and yet a weakness (based on the number of different configurations people seem to want to use). I haven't posted much in the way of follow ups because I've really been too busy to do much with it. I've also downloaded a trial of the latest BD/J2EE which I'll try out shortly. Part of my problem in doing a thorough evaluation is that I don't have much CF5 code - my code is mostly MX-only. > I point this out with some trepidation.

Oh, don't worry, I talked about the install process with the product team - they know about my blog posting. I've also, more recently, posted about how smooth the CFMX for J2EE install has become on Windows: http://www.corfield.org/blog/archives/2003_05.html#000335 I'm not allowed to say much about Red Sky at the moment (NDA) but I would point you to what Mike Downey says in his presentation - simpler, better installation, easier migration: http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/presentation/redsky/ Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
