Thank you very for all the info. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.
I'm running the Sun JRE 1.4.1, which I've been using for our standalone CFMX servers without issue on Win2k, RH7.3 and RH8.0. If I can't get it to work, I'll try the 1.4.0 JRE. thanks again, barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 10:39 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CFMX for J2EE on JRun 4 > > > >Yeah, I found that section in the release notes last night.
