I just wanted to say that I agree totally with Vince. the original statement (which I missed) is totally off-base, unless you also believe that going with Coldfusion is just a stepping stone to going full blown java. It's just a different integration method, that's all. Coldfusion and Bluedragon JX folks can itnegrate lots of java classes and objects and third party tools for doing stuff that the CFML language itself can't necessarily handle. Bluedragon.NET users can natively integrate .NET objects for doing stuff that CFML itself can't necessarily handle.
