Yeh, CFMX is a java (j2ee) application. This isn't true of any version prior to mx/6, though.

Ah well, at least it means it can be done with something other than C/C++! Hey, why did they change it?

Here is Macromedia's whitepaper on why CFML is now J2EE-based:
PDF: http://www.macromedia.com/software/...eybold_j2ee.pdf Essentially, the idea is that by making the back-end J2EE, it allows a greater degree of customization for companies which want to or already have deployed java-based internet applications, and are or were going to be using JSP for their web-end. From their standpoint, if your web designers are the ones doing the code, they're better off learning CFML rather than JSP. FWIW, I agree with them on this point - JSP would be a royal pain in the arse for the average graphics guru to get a handle on. MX provides a RAD for CFML, allowing your web designer to create a web-app which can interface w/ your desired or pre-existing Java/J2EE backend, w/o all the headaches of JSP. Now, whether their idea works or not remains to be seen... I suppose the Macromedia site itself was designed this way...
