JRun's handling of requests is kinda separate from Apache HTTPD, as it is a server in it's own right, so maybe that's part of the servelet handling and whatnot. Because if you turn off CF, HTTPD still serves out static content. But try for a extension handled by the jrun handler... and 500 error... I'm pretty sure that the JRun connector does some magic to get the request evaluated in the context of the web root, vs. the CF instance- well, I know it does, otherwise there would be a bunch of entries in those config files that Jochem talks about, and there isn't. There are no like, "virtual" directories for every place HTTPD serves CF content from (which can be anywhere, with the JRun connector). How this all ties into clustering, I don't know. Very intertwined tho, obviously, as I'm getting into this stuff because I'm trying to run on jboss/tomcat, not for CF clustering (although tomcat has clustering... I wonder if anyone has done a comparison...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
