I don't know what they meant by "JRun hasnt had an update since like 2003". There have been at least two updaters in the past year.

I know that JRun is the one mention Macromedia because Macromedia owns it. however, i read this interesting post the other day from MXNA talking about the fact that JRun hasnt had an update since like 2003 and that got me thinking we might be better off choosing a different J2EE server. in that event which one do you all recommend? in addition i know we will need CF installed on either that server or another server for the remoting calls. and then of course the DB server. am i missing anything? thanks again everyone, im really looking forward to a future with Flex!
