All: Thanks for the replies.
I don't think the admin is a "CFMX hater," just someone who has enough on his hands managing their WebLogic boxes without having to learn another management interface (the CF Admin). And, as someone who wishes he had more free time on his hands, I can't find fault with that. While I get the distinction between "pure" Java and an appserver-specific extension, I think I had been expecting a bit more in terms of deploying CFMX7 apps on J2EE servers. I think it was back in February that BF wrote a CFDJ article basically saying that J2EE server admins would no longer have to jump through hoops to deploy CFMX7 apps. Having read the document at the URL that Robert provided, I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Munn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 2:42 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CFMX7 Integration with J2EE - How complete is the integration? > > > Technically, I believe your client's admin is correct.
