Well, this innovation (thank you!) requires Java 6 so in terms of Adobe ColdFusion, that means CF8 since CFMX 6.x and 7 are not supported on Java 6. So if you're using CF8, you might just as well use CF8's built-in - and very high quality - image manipulation tools. Where I see this being useful is in taking existing PHP sites and integrating them partially or wholly into ColdFusion. Or taking open source PHP libraries and being able to use them with ColdFusion. If people show enough interest - and I can get some dedicated collaborators on the project - then it might be worth cracking open the source of Quercus and wiring it more tightly into ColdFusion to provide better native data support and library integration. Mostly, however, I did it for fun. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280065 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
