The only thing I can add, other than that Railo is excellent, is that youll want to take a close look at the compatibility section (http://www.getrailo.org/index.cfm/documentation/compatibility/cfml-compatibility/ <http://www.getrailo.org/index.cfm/documentation/compatibility/cfml-compatibility/> ) and syntax differences (https://github.com/getrailo/railo/wiki/Language_And_Syntax_Differences <https://github.com/getrailo/railo/wiki/Language_And_Syntax_Differences> ) to make sure all of your existing code complies. The differences arent major, but there are a few that may apply to you.
Its a very good upgrade, IMHO, and, generally, a painless switch.
