Hi, Peter... Railo would actually end up costing me more than MM CF Pro. I would need quite a few additional licenses for each website that I host and that would quite costly.
While it's not free, Coral Web Builder is reasonably priced at $225, which I believe would include one developer license for me... that's all I would need. However, I don't think it supports, among other tags and functions, CFSCHEDULE, which I use heavily. So that's a killer. However, it's free to deploy as much as I want on client's machines without any additional fees. And I'm beginning to develop more office/webware. Looks like it doesn't support LSParseDateTime, ParseDateTime, ,or LSParseCurrency either... According to IgniteFusion's compatibility list, they don't support CFSCHEDULE, either, so that would be out. Smith Project doesn't support CFSCHEDULE. Doesn't support LSParseDateTime, ParseDateTime, or LSParseCurrency, all of which I use a lot... so it looks like Smith is too lacking... The alternatives just aren't satisfactory...

Railo is free for community, low-budget business, and developer use, and has a very cheap professional edition (â¬200). I suspect IgniteFusion is the freeware one you're thinking of. I've looked at that and wasn't too impressed; whilst I haven't done a proper evaluation of them, I suspect Smith might be better. Coral Web Builder isn't free, it costs $225, plus $50 for each developer license. Unfortunately I haven't really looked at jQuery yet, so can't tell you which of these might be most suitable. >Hi, all... > >Well, what I figured was going to happen is happening. > >There seems to be an emphasis in Scorpio in increasing >the number of pre-built components, especially are Ajax >functionality. > >And the Ajax bug has finally bitten me, via jQuery, but I'm >running into limitations about what I can do server-side >with CF 4.5... > >I'm planning to upgrade Scorpio when it becomes available >proves itself reliable, but I want to use Ajax functionality >now with CF 4.5 sp2.... > >Is WDDX is the only option for accomplishing this with >4.5? > >I've been working with jQuery and using Ajax to send >info to .cfm pages for processing, but I'm bumping up >against the need to implement Ajax functionality on >the server back to jQuery. > >Am I just out of luck without Json or is it worth the effort >to develop in WDDX (if appropriate for my situation) >until Scorpio is released? > >Perhaps there are free versions of a CF Server >(Coral Web Builder, Smith Project, and one more I can't >think of that is free) that can be utilized until Scorpio >becomes available? > >Thanks for some perspective on this matter... > >Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
