Thank-you all for your replies. A. Open Source Last month, a student worker setup a test Railo server and moved a copy of the CF code there. It immediately errored out. So I am not sure how much of a rewrite is needed. FYI, CF 5 predates the JAVA version of CF. B. Adobe Adobe bought out

FYI, CF 5 predates the JAVA version of CF. True, but the core CFML language was kept backwards compatible as much as possible to ease migrations. If you're using CFX extensions written in C++ then you may not be able to transition to the open source platforms; I do not know if C++ CFX is
