>>It will be a long time before hosting companies take hold and use Smith. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since it's just a jar file and not an install, why would a hosting company be involved with any decision over using Smith or not? You would just need to know what JDK they support
I agree though about our code slowly becoming less portable. Ie, BD has features as well that Coldfusion doesn't support and vice versa, so I think using new tag/functions(just for the f$^&) of it may not be such a great idea. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:18 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Take a minute to Digg this story about the Smith Project Another thing I would like to point out is this. How many times do we speak and nobody listens in regards to new features? How long has some of the same bugs been around? IE: (CFMAIL) As an open source project, you could have these things addressed in the community and not have to beg a corporation for the changes. You would also not have to buy the new version with the bug fixes and new features everytime a new version came out. The one downfall in all of this, is that some clients will not want to host their own applications and therefore smith must adhere to the tags and functions that are available to use in the adobe product. Railo has features that Adobe's product does not, and if you use any of those features, your app is going to break if you have it hosted on an Adobe Coldfusion server. It will be a long time before hosting companies take hold and use Smith.
