I don't see how that could possible be the case for Railor or BlueDragon. All three engines operate in exactly the same way: a servlet mappings for .cfm and .cfc files that run a servlet from the local context. They all have to be copied into each context they're needed.
Can we see your tomcat config for a working one and a non-working one? I suspect that's where the discrepancy is. All said, having each app with it's own CFML runtime is rather desirable in my opinion, and the couple hundred MB of space is hella cheap. All the projects we do at work are WAR-level packages; you check out from SVN and includes all the code, a full CFML runtime, possible a CMS runtime, etc. Deployment happens the same way. Makes things enormously easier because it eliminates and potential discrepancies between various environments. cheers, barneyb On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 7:52 AM, Jeff Chastain <[email protected]> wrote: > > In my development environment, I currently have Railo and Blue Dragon > deployed to separate Tomcat servers.
