This is wrong. Blue Dragon is *free* (as in beer) but is definitely *not* open source. Doesn't make it a bad choice -- but it's all too common on the CF lists to see "free" and "open source" used interchangably. No one's giving you the BD source code -- same as CF. BD is more like MSDE (or the new MS-SQL 2005 Express) in that it's a somewhat constrained version of a commercial product. Definitely not open source :) <shameless_plug> I'll be talking about open source, especially Java, at CF-United. If you're attending, you might think about coming. </shameless_plug> And while I'm a fan of Blue Dragon, there are significant differences in details of implementation -- especially if you heavily use CFCs (see Barney Bosivert's blog for some ongoing love/hate discussions). Unlike J2EE servers, where there is a specification and compatibility tests for each J2EE server, BD is a reengineered (and potentially enhanced) server that is nearly 100% backwards compatible with ColdFusion. That's a real and significant difference. > CFDJ, April 2005 issue, page 24. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
