I'm not sure what ur getting at with the taglibs. The only time you can use the JSP taglibs inside of CFMX is when Flex has been installed along side. If you *have* installed alongside CFMX in the same jrun instance then you *can* use the taglibs if you want to embed flex output inside a CFM page...but a more likely scenario for most will probably just have the user accessing MXML pages...after which the flex app would communicate with CFMX via remoting or Web Service.

I actually chose to physically separate CFMX and flex...mostly because we'll have Flex apps that won't even touch the CFMX instances...plus for redundancy sake I don't want to have to take down � the available flex UI resources just to cycle a CFMX instance for whatever reason.

Here's our actual setup...

2 x 2CPU machine

JRun 4 with CFMX 6.1

Total of 3 Jrun instances running on each machine.

   Two have CFMX, one has Flex.

   Each CFMX instance belongs to a cluster. Cluster #1 consists of one instance on server A, on instance on server B. Same for Cluster #2

When the user access a Flex application it loads from the standalone 3rd JRun instance. The Flex app now pulls data from multiple applications running on either of those two CFMX clusters. In addition, there is a whole other WebLogic cluster it ties into for specific services.

I hope I'm not clouding things further!

Cheers,

Stace

Now that seems to be a very valid justification.

Do you think that adding CFMX to that equation adds or detracts?

If CFMX is a plus, would CFMX & the taglibs, alone provide the
justification?

I don't know, and am assuming that there is a lot more to Flex than the
taglibs... that the taglibs provide rhe UI components and generate the
swf from XML.
