The J2EE version of BlueDragon is targeted towards those with an existing J2EE application server like BEA WebLogic or IBM WebSphere, among others. If a secure connection is required with a built-in J2EE infrastructure and server, BlueDragon JX fits the bill for only $899. Also, all versions allow SSL, except for the Free Server version. Incentives to choose BlueDragon are as follows. If you need: A free standalone cfml engine for non-commercial use BlueDragon Server A standalone cfml engine for secure/commercial use BlueDragon Server JX To deploy cfml natively on an existing J2EE platform use BlueDragon J2EE To deploy cfml natively on an existing .NET platform use BlueDragon .NET > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Snake > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:08 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [BlueDragon] FW: ColdFusion 7 on Tomcat > > Dunno if someone fancies commenting on this post from cf-talk. > It's as a valid point really. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Aaron Roberson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 January 2006 05:50 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: ColdFusion 7 on Tomcat > > Charles, > > I was looking around the New Atlanta website and I was quite suprised > to find that the price for BlueDragon Server for J2EE servers with > 2-CPU's is $5,999.
