So far, here's what i have found: > > The latest version of CF as of this writing - v7 - supports Weblogic 7 > and 8. I haven't found any specific page on the adobe site saying > "CFMX 7 doesn't support Weblogic 9", but the company i work for is > *very* conservative: in the absence of a page saying that Weblogic 9.2 > is supported, they won't go near it. From various posts here and > elsewhere on the list, i understand that some people have been able to > run CFMX 7 on Weblogic 9.x with various degrees of success. > > Beyond the question of Weblogic version, there is the matter of JVM > version support. Once again, it would seem that cfmx *can* run (with > some limitations) under java 1.5, but that this configuration is not > officially supported. > > The next version of CFMX - v8 - will support java 1.5, but i have not > been able to find any information as to whether it will officially > support Weblogic 9.x or not.
