Sean, Re: Railo from the command line That's sounds very cool and will be very useful.
Nathan, Yeah, I know its kinda nuts to do all that just to run one CFC. But it is a pretty big CFC and it does a lot including reading in and parsing XML config files that are used by the application, and indexing directories etc. While I would agree it would be better to keep it all inside ANT without the dependency on Railo (thank Peter!), the main factor for me was implementation time. I'm already behind schedule and no time to re-write this code - so using Railo was the fastest solution. It has the added benefit that it is leveraging some existing CFML and plus, CFML scripting is where I am strongest (that and JS..), so it made sense. I think if I had the time I would have done it all in ANT. What you said about using Rhino sounds very promising.

This will effectively make CFML a general purpose scripting language that can be used outside the servlet container! Builds of 4.0 are currently pre-alpha and undergoing testing in-house. Once Railo 3.3 goes gold (should happen around the end of this month), that will become the stable release and 4.0 will appear on the development builds / bleeding edge provider.
