Coldfusion enterprise edition can also run and be deployed as WAR files on many different application server (CF comes with a limited version of JRUN for these purposes). I'm not sure where the supported list is, but my guess is it can be configured to run on any Java application server (such as websphrere, TomCat, etc).
You don't need any of those (often expensive) servers to run coldfusion. As I mentioned, it comes with a limited version of JRUN. I'm not sure if running it on a enterprise java app server would yield better performance (or perhaps might be required on certain platforms).
