Yes and no. I really am curious if you folks would deal with you giving them a "JEE app"* that they do not have resources to maintain. Now if its a turnkey solution sure I guess I see this working but in my world we never take something without getting the source code and needing customizations, so getting a "JEE app" that is not written in Java wouldn't work so well, if we didn't have a large CFML group at least ;) * Yes it is truly a JEE app no doubt there but there is an implication there that it is Java so unless it is clear that it is not I see that as underhanded.

Or not being clear about it... I think I've made this point a couple times now though so I'll stop banging my drum ;) Adam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:313251 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
