ColdFusion has supported BEA WebLogic since 2000. Indeed, ColdFusion was the first CFML engine supported on BEA WebLogic, and we remain committed to the platform (as do many very high profile customers who run ColdFusion on WebLogic). The current version (CFMX7) supports WebLogic 7 and 8.1. And yes, WebLogic 9.2 support is indeed planned for ColdFusion "Scorpio" (aka CF8).
