Second, > did you CFMX is a J2EE application (with some supporting native machinery) that compiles .cfm pages to .java files and then compiles those (using jikesw or javac) into .class files which are then loaded (by CFMX) and executed (by the J2EE app server). CFMX is invoked as a Servlet (CfmServlet). Does that answer your question? > guys base cfmx/jrun off tomcat or is that just coincidence (directory > structure, jikes, etc)? I have no idea - JRun predates my experience with Macromedia by a few years!
