ok, so I've spent a few more hours looking into this. I pointed BlueDragon at an existing Farcry dev site and found some serious issues that need to be resolved.
1. BlueDragon doesn't appear to allow "uuid" as a value for the type attribute of <cfargument> 2. BlueDragon throws an error saying that char is an invalid wddx element. I modified several instances of 1 where it was stopping BD from loading the page, but 2 occurs as soon as it tries to load the config info from the database. I'm running version 6,1,0,226. If there's a later version out it may fix the above errors, but for now I'm going to assume it will require a serious amount of hacking to get it to work. If anyone can confirm that a later version fixes both of these problems I'll give it another go and see if I can get the core code to be BlueDragon compatible.
