In just a basic installation, I'd venture to say that Railo is more secure, as each Railo instance provides sandboxing out of the box, giving a "Web Administrator" to each project/application. But to really answer your question, we'd need a much more detailed question (or series of questions). > How is its cfscript implementation?

I can say that the extension has done what I needed and done it well the handful of times I've needed that functionality. <opinion> Bottom line. The future of CFML *is* Railo. </opinion> HTH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:352208 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
