Boy, this is a long thread with a lot of confusion in it! Sourceless deployment: The ability to deploy a ColdFusion application to *another* *ColdFusion* *server* without source code.
J2EE deployment: The ability to create a WAR/EAR containing a ColdFusion application *and* the CF runtime which can then be deployed on 'any' J2EE server. They can be combined: a J2EE deployment can contain source or not, your choice. It can also contain a CF Admin or not, your choice. Sourceless deployment can be done from any edition to any edition - because the target deployment server already has a CF license. Sourceless deployment simply means compiling the CFML to Java bytecode and deployed the compiled files (the compile script compiles foobar.cfm to foobar.cfm in another directory - the target foobar.cfm file is really a .class file). J2EE deployment can be done from any edition to any J2EE server and the licensing of the deployed app is either Developer Edition (no serial number) or Enterprie Edition (buy a license, use that serial number in the creation of the archive or via the deployed CF Admin or via custom code in the deployed app that uses the CF Admin API to set the serial number). The Standard Edition does not support J2EE deployment because, well, it's Standard Edition (Enterprise Edition is effectively equivalent to the old J2EE Edition). There is an OEM program (called SIP I think) which lets you negotiate an appropriate license structure for application deployment. Does that clarify things?
