Actually, no, that's not what JRun is. It's a J2EE application server, which runs Java applications. CF is essentially just another Java application. JRun includes its own web server, however, which you can use instead of an external web server. The JRun web server is quite simple, and doesn't provide anything like the functionality that IIS or Apache have. But for development, again, it's usually sufficient. > Now I do run my own web server and will eventually bring 4.5 > up to 7 on the live production server, so I'll need to know > how to manage whatever will be necessary to take CF 7 to the > production server... There are many, many ways you could go about that. You will certainly want to test all of your existing sites with CFMX before switching them over. It is possible to have both 4.5 and CFMX on the same machine, but this requires a certain familiarity with your web server configuration.
