That's where CF missed out on some marketing.

What makes Java on Websphere better than CFMX on Websphere?

I don't know what the certification status of CF is with the Navy these
days, but I know of at least one app where they were running CF. A couple
years back, some Navy contractors "illicitly procured" the code from the Air
Force office where I work now and set up their own version of our
Vulnerability Assessment Management Program (VAMP). The guy I replaced in
the office where I work now originally authored the Air Force's VAMP program
back in 1998 and it has survived, until now. Alas, AF has decided to switch
to a DOD-wide implementation run out of the Pentagon, and which is
implemented in Java on Websphere, so I'll be scanning the want ads again
soon.  

Time to go dust off my resume...

Matt,

I think you are correct about your old boss. He was most likely
referring to a certification and accreditation process for the server.
Anything that runs on a secure government network must be approved
before it use. Maybe at that time the Navy hadn't approved CF.

Working for the Department of State (and currently writing the
documents to get CFMX7 approved for use) it's not a hard task. It's
just a pain and requires alot of documentation.

Right now, only Flash Player 6 is approved for use. However that does
not mean to say that Flash Player 7 isn't secure. It just means no one
has taken the time to write up the appropriate papers.

I can also say I personally know that CF is being used heavily in DoD
and DHS. Heck DoD deployed Breeze to mobile communication units in the
field. DoD is known for being the first in the government to embrace
technology, so I'm not sure why the Navy would be any different.
