I have to say that I've found a few more issues on Railo than I have in CF, but the Railo guys usually fix them very quickly (sometimes in 24 hours) where Adobe can take months or even an entire product cycle to fix something.

If you are the impatient type who expects everything to work the first time, 100% of the time, and are not willing to invest any TIME at all figuring something out, this is usually offset with another type of investment: MONEY. If this is your expectation, I would either 1) buy Adobe ColdFusion commercial licenses w/support or 2) user Railo and buy consulting help from the Railo team (getrailo.com). Having said that, I've gotten Railo working in production without buying consulting, but I may or may not have more patience than you do. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf> | twitter<http://twitter.com/cameronc> | google+ <https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352207 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
