I've not worked with OpenBD yet, but in my experience with BD in the past, and with Railo, BD seems to model ColdFusion and how it works a little closer. They often added new stuff like cfimage and cfthread before Adobe, but for the most part, using it was not much different than using ColdFusion. Railo is quite a different engine and takes a little more getting used to but seems to be a bit more cutting-edge in terms of its ability to do a lot of settings on a per-website basis, lots of additional settings to help tweak performance, it has a lot of neat features that you just don't see in these other products. Its compatibility out-of-the-box has improved a lot as well, and it just really is fun to work with, particularly if you can leverage some of its time-saving features. It's biggest drawback is still the documentation but this is a primary focus for them right now so hopefully that will be a moot point in the future. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:313604 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
