ColdFusion is a J2EE web app, and the CFML runtime is implemented as a collection of Servlets. It runs in a web comtainer (JRun by default, even though JRun is actually an EAS).
The servlets, among other things, read your CFML off the disk, compile it into Java bytecode, and then execute it as part of handling requests to the servlets. While some differences exist, you can, in general, consider the execution profiles of JSPs and CFMs to be analogous. CF obviously does a lot of other stuff as well (such as CFC's), but at it's core, the concepts are similar to JSP. cheers, barneyb On 7/31/06, Troy Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I understand that ColdFusion is J2EE certified and all that good > stuff, but what does that mean?
