Their hardware providers? That's pretty strange - it seems to me that this would be a tremendous burden for them to place on their customers. Perhaps your client should seek a new hardware provider. But in any case, CFMX Enterprise can run on WebLogic, when installed using the J2EE installation option. > What language would that be? Java? If so... Yes. More specifically, your web applications would be written in Java as servlets and/or JSP pages, primarily. > Someone told me that because MX runs with Java underneath, there > is a way to "unwrap" ColdFusion code to get at the Java underneath, > thereby allowing me to switch over without rewriting the code from > scratch. Is this true? Easy? Impossible? No, you'll have to rewrite your application. With CFMX 6.0, you could get at the Java source code generated by CF pages, but with newer versions of CFMX this isn't accessible any more, since your CF pages get compiled directly to Java bytecode, bypassing the Java source code. But even if you could get to that, it wouldn't be very maintainable, so for all practical purposes you'd have to rewrite it anyway.
