Richard, I'm sorry, maybe I need a little more clarification of what it is you're trying to do? MySQL interacts with just about anything that supports JDBC drivers, including ColdFusion, which is in itself a web application server for hosting CFML based applications (and jsp as well, I think, as long as you are on Enterprise Edition). I have used MySQL for years in mixed environments, typically in conjunction with ColdFusion and Apache. ColdFusion can run on it's own internal server, though it isn't suggested in a production environment. It really depends upon the platform you wish to utilize. For Windows I would suggest Apache or Microsoft's own IIS. For just about anything else I would suggest Apache, but there are probably dozen's of options to work with. Adobe.com can give you much better information on supported server platforms.
