Mike: Actually, CF on WAS is supported by Adobe across quite a few OSes: AIX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows. I believe BlueDragon J2EE is limited to the same OSes for WAS as well.
Nathan: I guess I'm skeptical about CF running on _every_ J2EE server. We get error messages galore when we try installing it on WAS on OS/400. I'm not sure if CF just isn't written to handle the OS/400 file system or what. But this OS/400 limitation isn't just for ColdFusion. I've seen it happen with other enterprise products as well. (Although the CF-based Macromedia Contribute Publishing Server runs on WAS on OS/400 just fine!) Starts making you wonder about the "write once, run anywhere" claim made by Java enthusiasts, especially when you try to scale that claim to the size of a large J2EE app like CF...

If you have a J2EE server, it should work, period. However, Adobe doesn't officially support the OS/400 platform. That's just a support issue, but because of its certified 100% Java nature, it should deploy on any J2EE server native to any platform. When you say "getting CF to use Java resources on a remote server," the basic answer is "yes" but with work. CF can invoke EJBs if that's what you're asking. It can call a JMS service, and it can natively handle SOAP. It may not be the easiest thing, but it will totally work. Yes, when you move to a SOA with any platform, you will probably have to work on performance-related issues. Native calls in memory to HTTP-based calls over the network, that is a big difference. To lessen that, you could go EJB, but that's not easy, to say the least. While you can access Java objects directly, I don't understand your question about CF not sitting on the same server as the bytecode, but it sounds interesting. Hopefully I've answered enough of your questions to get you going. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240415 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
