Hi Jordan, Yeah if I had java abilities the world would be a simpler place, I think though what I was talking to Matt about with OpenBD being able to access stuff through mappings like Railo does would be the route i'd want to go
e.g. http://foo.com/apath/index.cfm where apath is an openbluedragon mapping but not a context path. Currently OpenBD will 404 so its getting the request but it doesn't look at its mappings for direct cfm or cfc requests A On 4 April 2012 17:43, Jordan Michaels <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Alex, > > I think we talked about this before didn't we?
