Ha -- yeah you are right, my security question was not at all specific. :)
I trust my own coding abilities as it relates to application security, but how secure is Railo itself? For example, there were a handful of patches we had to do on CF9 to address certain vulnerabilities. How about with Railo? -- Cheers!
