Still you don't get it. So just explain to me, if ColdFusion isn't serving your applications, what is it doing for you.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you purchased the ColdFusion PRODUCT and not JRUN.

Dale, You don't get it...... Coldfusion does not serve your application, JRun actually servers your application. Coldfusion engine is actually a servlet, that runs java bytecode and allows that to interface into its library that is a set of features. So what your saying is that my jsp pages, and JSTL libraries I can bundle together and call it an application server? Because with JRun, Tomcat, or whatever those JSP pages will not work. Now to end this argument. If the developers of the Coldfusion application don't think that Coldfusion is a servlet. Then why is the entry point into Coldfusion look like this? public class CfmServlet extends HttpServlet { private ServletConfig servletConfig = null; private static CfmServlet cfmServlet = null; private DynamicSemaphore gate = null; private int timeouts = 0; private static final Object serveltInitializedMutex = new Object(); public CfmServlet() { timeouts = 0; } public static CfmServlet getCfmServlet() { return cfmServlet; } public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { servletConfig = new ServletConfigWrapper(config); cfmServlet = this; if(!ServiceFactory.getLicenseService().isStandard()) { int requestLimit = ServiceFactory.getRuntimeService().getQueueLimit("request"); gate = new DynamicSemaphore(requestLimit, true); } LineDebuggerConfig.getInstance().setCtxRoot(config.getServletContext()); synchronized(serveltInitializedMutex) { serveltInitializedMutex.notifyAll(); } } -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Fraser Sent: Tuesday, 6 May 2008 3:18 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion Isn't a Programming Language? Let me dumb it down for you PRODUCT, PRODUCT, PRODUCT. ColdFusion is NOT a servlet (as you claimed on your blog) ColdFusion is NOT an interface into a webserver ColdFusion is NOT a programming language. ColdFusion is a PRODUCT. Something you buy from a store, in this case a SOFTWARE product, aimed at providing a solution to a problem. So what it is that ColdFusion does for you, for me, for anyone who purchases it. It in fact serves your CFML applications, it is an Application Server. Does it come with some other technology that allows it to achieve this, sure it does but that's irrelevant. I purchase ColdFusion to serve my applications, it serves my applications, it is an application server. Get It? That's probably why the call it the ColdFusion Application Server. And not the ColdFusion Servlet or the ColdFusion web connector. ColdFusion is a PRODUCT a PACKAGE. Think about what it does for you, and perhaps explain what the ColdFusion PRODUCT does for you if it's not serving your applications. I know what it's doing for me.

How so? Because I said when you install Coldfusion standard it installs the JRun Application server? -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Fraser Sent: Tuesday, 6 May 2008 3:04 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion Isn't a Programming Language?
