No, the client still needs to purchase CF. The compiled CF code, while Java, still relies on the underlying infrastructure of the CF environment (also embedded in the WAR file) to run your code.
CF 7 adds the option to tell it to not "include CFML source code" when you build a J2EE archive. This is in the CF7 admin, Packaging&Deployment>J2EE Archives. Enter a test name to "add" a new archive and you'll see the options on the next screen. The online help for the page explains that this option "Specifies whether to use the original CFM files or to convert the pages to Java bytecode. Select this field to use plain-text CFM files; clear this field to use Java bytecode stored in the CFM files". It's also discussed in the CF 7 manual, "Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX", on page 81, or that page at the livedocs is: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001761.htm Again, this leave the code as compiled java. I will point out that one advantage BlueDragon offered (and still does) is that it has additional options for protecting code and doesn't require deployment as a J2EE web app. I no longer work for them, so I'd point you to them and their docs (or their mailing list) to find out more. /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of claude raiola Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 7:10 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Ways To Protect CF Code So I can write cf applications and have it run on a j2ee server rather than a cf server. Is this also more cost efficient for the client to purchase a j2ee server rather than cf Clearly I need to investigate this and learn all about it Any suggested resources to learn the most about how all this side of things works being able to deploy application as you have indicated --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
