Speed-wise, it's great. And I love some of the configuration options Railo gives you as well, although since my code is designed to run on any of the main CFML engines, I can't take advantage of many of them. One of my main reasons for putting my client on it was to really get a real-world test of my software on it and find any problems, so it will run smoothly for any other customers that want to use Railo. And I do regularly run into little glitches that require me to make minor code changes. I do report these and I love working with the guys that do Railo, they put out updates with fixes for these little issues within days of it being reported. I'm hoping once it becomes open source and more people use it, we'll find even more of these little issues, but even now it's pretty solid overall. Most of them are just very minor differences from CF that are easy to tweak your code for. For instance, the most recent I found was a function I had that read a integer from an external text file and then used that in the code. ColdFusion automatically converts that to an integer and strips off any line return that might be in there, but in Railo, I needed to use a Val() function to handle it. >What has been your experience been like using Railo?

I don't use Plesk or Helm, too many problems in the past with such programs, I only use them if I am hosting a number of users on the same box. Plesk in particular really drives me nuts with the way it messes up the MySQL implementation on the box. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309299 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
