Hmm, this is an interesting question and I suspect it is mostly based on a misunderstanding about how CFMX Standard works. CFMX - any edition - is a Java application that runs on any J2EE application server. In fact, it only requires a Servlet container, which is why it will run on Tomcat (which is not a J2EE app server). The Standard edition runs on a 'captive' version of JRun. The Enterprise edition runs on either a full version of JRun or any other Servlet container or J2EE server. It sounds like you're having stability problems that are due to misconfiguration rather than any inherent problems with CFMX Standard. Depending on your traffic and a number of other factors, moving to the J2EE edition might provide better utilization of hardware resources because you can take advantage of clustering and so on. If you're running CFMX 6.1 with the latest hotfixes and updaters, there's no reason that you should be seeing instability per se - which is why I say there may be some misconfiguration causing your problems. Rather than spending the money upgrading to Enterprise edition, you might want to talk to Macromedia's server product support team - people like Brandon Purcell - and spend the money with them instead helping you reconfigure and optimize your system. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187513 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
