Neil,
The product in question is Black Knight.
http://www.gestaltech.com/products/blackknight/blackknight_overview.cfm
Black Knight provides a .NET runtime host and an API that matches the CFX
API exactly. You write a CFX in any .NET language and call it through a
proxy.
You could use BlueDragon but that would mean having to switch over to
another server and it would not allow you to run both Java and .NET stuff -
it's a one or the other option. Using Black Knight you can leverage .NET
with your current installation without giving up one for the other.
I'm not bashing on BlueDragon in anyway mind you - I worked on the product
briefly for New Atlanta. It's a matter of needs. If you've a Java
investment and also need to use .NET then your options begin to narrow a
bit.
