It works pretty well for me, to be honest. Sure, it doesn't know how to stop / start Tomcat (my preferred container for Railo) but it really doesn't get in the way either. I actually have a CF9 dev edition installed (standalone, not connected to Apache) to run extensions. I opened a bug about the error messages that pop up if you try to run extensions on a server CFB can't determine the status of - and let the CFB team know that I'd *really* like that fixed :) I like that I have CF9 syntax highlighting because it makes it easier for me to write portable code. CFB highlights missing semicolons (Railo allows you to omit semicolons in cfscript, just like you can in ActionScript and JavaScript - and Groovy and Scala and...) and uses of obj[method](args) which Railo also allows but CF9 does not (I opened a bug for that since the CFML Advisory Committee agreed it should work and I saw Adobe have verified the bug so I'm hoping it makes it into 9.0.1 :) Overall I find CFB makes me more productive and is definitely worth the $299 I paid for it the day it was released. @Ray: re custom dictionaries, yes, we may create a Railo dictionary at some point but with the goal of 3.2 being full script compatibility with CF9 the dictionary wouldn't be very different :) Most of the changes would be extra functions, or extra optional arguments on functions (e.g., we allow multiple caches to be defined with names so the cache*() functions all allow an optional named argument specifying which cache to operate on). And, yeah, a few tags and function would be missing (although that list is shrinking almost daily). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334284 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
