Well, not according to our customers who have already paid for it. :-) Seriously, the basic profile of our customers so far are people who are migrating from ColdFusion to J2EE. That is, they have "legacy" CF 4.5 or 5.0 applications, but have made a strategic decision to do all future development in J2EE. Therefore, the lack of support for CFMX features is a non-issue, and the few CF5 features BlueDragon doesn't support are similarly a non-issue.
What BlueDragon does for these customers is allow them to immediately and cost-effectively migrate their legacy CF applications to a J2EE environment without rewriting them in JSP, and then enhance the applications using either JSP or CFML, whichever is more appropriate. Having said all that, we're of course working towards full compliance with CF5/MX. We already have C++ CFXs and CORBA working and in use by two of our customers--look for these in a future BlueDragon release. Other features high on our list are: COM (CF5), Verity-like search (CF5), full support for internationalization (CFMX), and XML (CFMX). CFCs and web services will probably take a little longer. We also have some other things under development that we think will be very interesting to the CFML community, things that CF5/MX can't do. Stay tuned...
