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
