Are you being sarcastic? I'm not quite sure. Deploying applications as WARs or EARs seems pretty slick. Covers a lot of problems with application deployment, neh? I'm just getting into it, and clustering, but I could easily see distributing one's application as a zip file, basically. I see people paying me money for these applications. And leveraging Java is a pretty powerful feature. >From the other end, if you're doing anything cool, you'd have an API anyways. Maybe use SOAP or, well, whatever, really. Not quite a java API though, I guess. It's not Java, literally, (or maybe it is, actually ;]), so I wouldn't sell it as "having Java source files", but I could see selling it as a java application (or java-based). At least, Dilbert-style: "the pointy heads don't even know what Java is, but they've heard of it, at least". Probably depends on your business model, and if the client owns the source code, and all that stuff, as to how successful you'd be at doing things this way, too. You'd be silly to sell CF source as Java source, of course, of course. If that's what you were getting at. If you were honestly being curious, I can verify that you can sell applications (as WAR files, or whatever), and people will pay for them, repeatedly. It might be good to note that Railo will, before too long, come with JBoss, right about... <---here Heh. I love it. Guess my virtual machine is through copying, along with my nodes, so time to get back to the old grind-stone. :den -- Now... to cluster MySQL or Postgres... hmmm... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313184 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
