I'll just throw out that while in this case you just wanted to grab some static files shared with ASP.NET, in the future you (or other readers) may want to do more direct integration, like we can do currently with J2EE pages in CFMX and BlueDragon, such as sharing session and application variables, including the page output from one filetype in another (CF and JSP on J2EE, CF and ASP.NET in .NET).
We mentioned this a few weeks ago and it bears repeating: BlueDragon/.NET will offer that functionality. The product is currently in alpha testing in the hands of some key partners. Indeed, more than these traditional sorts of integration, I'm already investigating and look forward to this opening the door to even more powerful integration. Just as the underlying J2EE platform gave us lots of cool things that could be accessed outside of CFML (like Filters, new security models, clustered sessions, J2EE sessions, and more), the .NET framework may offer similar and more. These will be interesting times for CFML shops who choose to embrace CFML and native integration with .NET on BlueDragon. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 10:00 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Building alongside to asp.net pages??? > > > AH!
