Agreed! It's a much easier argument now (post CFMX) to say that CF is really just Java (or even say its really just .NET if you're using Blue Dragon .NET). It's the same argument getting Ruby (not Rails, Ruby) in the door in some cases. JRuby runs Ruby apps in Java (though not Rails yet, and not the RubyGems package manager with the current release) with Bean Scripting Framework support (so you can do a lot of CFMX-style treating Java objects just like a Ruby class). Ditto for Python on JPython Not to mention the pending JSR 223 which will support scripting for the Java platform from other languages with PHP as the initial reference implementation. But the CF *is* Java argument is still the most potent of these examples. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240806 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
