So does that mean you have to install CF on the machine running the app? That seems like quite a big footprint. Or maybe you are using the Java to mimic the CF server? Seems like a decent idea, but would all the apps have to be HTML based?

It sounds interesting. I do have a few questions, though: How will they connect to datasources? Or does the data have to be internalized? Will there be any cross-platform versions? Will there be the ability to compile to a Java app, perhaps with different wrappers for different systems? What version of CFML will be supported? 5? MX? How good is the compatibility? I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's enough harrassment for now, eh? -- Ben Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc : -----Original Message----- : From: Pablo Varando [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] : Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 5:12 PM : To: CF-Talk : Subject: Re: Visual Fusion - Thoughts? : : : No, they are stand-alone just as Visual Basic Applications run as : stand-alone. : : At least that is the idea :) hehe : : :) : : Pablo : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "John Wilker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 4:05 PM : Subject: RE: Visual Fusion - Thoughts? : : : > Sure sounds interesting to me.
