Exactly!
I don't want to give up the browser/web server but have them as
optional facilities.
I have always maintained that CF provides a superior way of
implementing some apps -- and the browser interface was just a
necessary evil.
I have programmed a lot of languages, but for certain things, like ad
hoc db reports, CF is unequalled (IMO).
So, I guess I could put a Swing front end on a CFMX app and run on the
desktop?
