As an additional addendum to this. I would avoid anything higher then 1.4.0 as many on this list who have tried 1.4.1 have had various issues.

Yes, CFMX Standalone ships with the IBM JVM, 1.3.1 I believe. Our own documentation mentions the 1.4.0 JVM in connection with certain tags (cfhttp may well be one of them). The 1.4.0 JVM is substantially faster than the 1.3.1 JVM so it's a 'safe' upgrade. > I've read reports that the BEA JVM, JRockit, is a lot faster than IBM > & SUN > JVM. Several people seem to have had a lot of success with JRockit although I recall some problems reported with it early on (perhaps an earlier version?). I don't believe CFMX w/ JRockit is a supported configuration however. > Also, CFMX for J2EE is much faster than standalone CFMX (even CFMX > for JRUN is faster than CFMX Enterprise which uses JRun). By way of explanation, CFMX for J2EE has been optimized to take better advantage of the underlying J2EE system. Yes, it is faster than CFMX Standalone but it's also very dependent on the J2EE system in use and the difference is more noticeable as you move up the multi-processor scale.
