Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _____________________________ http://blog.cutterscrossing.comI am a CF person, and CF8 is great for working with Flex 3 and BlazeDS. JRun is a full featured J2EE server, and integrating BlazeDS with CF8 is a snap.
You can use JBoss or Tomcat if you are more familiar with them, but the JRun install would be fine, with typically less learning curve. We followed these directions for integration, and have been running fine ever since: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2007/12/13/Abobe-Labs-releases-BlazeDS--Remoting-and-Messaging-technology Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _____________________________ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Douglas McCarroll wrote: > > > I'm not a CF person, but I can answer one part of this.
