BlueDragon 6.1

CFML Compatibility and Reference Guide

1 Introduction

web server,

Atlanta BlueDragon is family of server-based products for the deployment of

ldFusion® Markup Language (CFML) applications for dynamic web publish-

g—featuring native technology platform integration on the operating system,

and database of your choice. CFML is a popular server-side, template-based

markup language that boasts a rich feature set and renowned ease-of-use.

In addition to CFML, some BlueDragon editions also implement the Java Servlet API

and JavaServer Pages™ (JSP) standards defined by Sun Microsystems, Inc. as compo-

nent technologies of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™).

BlueDragon provides a high-performance, reliable, standards-based environment for

hosting CFML web applications, and enables the integration of CFML with J2EE and

Microsoft .NET technologies.

1.1 About This Manual

The BlueDragon 6.1 CFML Compatibility Guide presents information about the com-

patibility of the implementation of CFML in BlueDragon compared to what developers

may expect when using Macromedia ColdFusion MX 6.1. Developers currently working

with ColdFusion 4.5 or 5.0 should be aware that there are differences between those

releases and ColdFusion MX 6.1 which are not generally documented in this manual. See

the Macromedia documentation for information on those differences.

1.2 BlueDragon Product Configurations

BlueDragon is currently available in three product configurations. Details about these

configurations—BlueDragon Server, BlueDragon Server JX, and BlueDragon for J2EE

Servers—are provided in the BlueDragon Installation Guide. Except where explicitly

noted, all references to “BlueDragon” in this document refer to all three product configu-

rations.
