Subject: Re:cf web app on a cd?
Forgetting about the licencing and pricing issues (see strong
recomendation at the bottom of post) for a moment (for CF and SQL
Server), you probally will not be able to run CF from a CD for the
following reasons:
Even using apache/Tomcat CF takes up at nearly 300MB of space (nearly
1/2 of the CD). This does not include any compoents (Java runtime
engine, services interfaces or any other component that might be
installed outside the Tomcat application.)
This would not include any programs that would autoluanch apache/Tomcat
or any database functionality. Nor would it include your application or
any space to run your application. This would also not add the
permissions necessary to run Tomcat properly as well -- since Tomcat or
any other J2EE server requires local administration permissions to reach
certain resources.
Adding a Database (forget about SQL Server) would at least another 50-90
MBs, assuming you're using mySQL as your database. SQL Server is really
tied to the operating system so it will be hard if not impossible to
run.
Before ASP.net entered the fray, it was much easier to move applications
into ASP using Microsoft's Personal Web Service-- having support for ASP
out of the box. With ASP.net other overhead exists making CD versions
not as attractive.
When you add licencing issues (Microsoft makes you pay for each
connection unit, CF on a dual CPU basis.) then very quickly you'll see
the reason why I would (strongly) not recommend anyone going down this
path.
Better to ask if the client has some Internet conductivity and would be
willing to go down the Flash client/CF, SQL Server server route instead.
This way you are not placing your client at a legal risk.
