There are pro's and con's to each. but yes, you can configured OpenBD to run in the root context like JSP does.
*however* in a shared hosting environment that is something YOU DO NOT want to do. why? because you are sharing each others data; two people name the <CFAPPLICATION NAME="xx"> and they both have the same data. So its only a recommended route for trusted sites. EECOLOR wrote: > Hello, > > I do not know enough about J2EE, so I hope someone can enlighten me. We > have a GlassFish server.
