I hope this thread is usefull to other farCry members as well... So is the jrun web server (port 8500) a separate product from jrun - the application server?
If so, this is maybe why I was a bit puzzled. As this does not require IIS, I assumed the full blown jrun (enterprise version of CFMX) was a web server and therefore seems crazy to use IIS.
