RE: "ColdFusion was the first CFML engine supported on BEA WebLogic." I'm not sure this is true. If I remember correctly (I could be wrong), the original CFMX 6.0 release was not supported on BEA WebLogic. These release notes seem to indicate that CFMX didn't run on WebLogic until Dec 2002:
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/releasenotes_mx_j2ee_p2.html I believe that BlueDragon 3.0 was the first CFML engine to run on BEA WebLogic in Sept 2002, several months prior to CFMX: http://www.newatlanta.com/corporate/news/bluedragon_3_0_release.jsp But we quibble, since BlueDragon remains the only CFML engine officially supported by BEA (and, in fact, BlueDragon is sold and supported by BEA as a BEA product). Also, I believe that CFMX 7.0.2 still does not support deployment in packed WARs on WebLogic, but requires unpacking into an exploded directory, correct? BlueDragon has supported packed WARs on WebLogic since Sept 2002. Vince > ColdFusion has supported BEA WebLogic since 2000.
