Hey gert, All those items you list are only relevant to hosting providers, most users don't do this, a very small percentage. I use it in a corporate environment on our production servers for our use, so not only do I have any experience with those items, I have no interest.
I was however impressed with the compatibility list, seems very complete for version 1.1. The way I read it you support cfc's cfdocument and almost everything other that the listed exception, a very good start. One battle you will have is convincing people to spend any money with a company and product that is almost unheard of, I have no such issues convincing businesses to spend 10k on Adobe products however.

Hi Dale, here my comments to your concerns: 1. security Railo does not claim to be absolutely secure in terms of weaknesses or security holes. Nor do we claim to be more secure than other engines in this terms. But just give me your thoughts about these matters: How do you prevent users from different webs in one instance of: - accessing other datasources (without having different db-users etc) - accessing all mappings - accessing all customtags - accessing all cfx-tags - allowing some webs to access the file system and others not - allowing some users to use java objects and others not this is the type of security i addressed. 2. performance I agree on that. I just compared Railo to the existing engines. And we will look for ways of improving performance if MX8 is faster than Railo 1.1 3. pricing I do not know what pricing you relate. Since the enterprise version is much cheaper than the ones of BD and MX. For those who just need the professional version it is the same. And there in addition is the free community version. And yes, we can argue about the features. In fact i see it the other way round. But in addition I have to say that, since I am from Railo :-) Gert Dale Fraser wrote: > 1. Security > Says Who?
