No problem. I expected it was just an oversight.

I was just wondering if there was a way that people could write their JSP include/forward so that it was compatible between both products. > Details of CFINCLUDE, CFFORWARD, and other CFML enhancements > introduced by > BlueDragon (such as the CFIMAP tag) are in the BlueDragon CFML > Compatibility > Guide: This is a good piece of documentation - I learned some interesting things about CF5 from it! It's also good that you point out these enhancements and incompatibilities so that developers who are keen to write portable code can continue to do so. > Anyone's who's interested in learning more about the CFML/Java/JSP > integration features offered by BlueDragon will be interested in > attending > my talk at the upcoming MXNorth conference: I assume this will cover more ground than your (enjoyable and informative) BACFUG talk from a few months back? > BTW, we plan to add support for GetPageContext() in BlueDragon 3.1 in > order > to provide compatibility with CFMX, but we still like our > implementation > better. :-) Ah, that answers my question above then. Roll on version 3.1 then!
