BlueDragon is available in four editions: Server, Server JX, .NET and J2EE
The BlueDragon Server^TM family of Java-based servers (Server and Server JX) enables the stand-alone deployment of CFML. Both BlueDragon Server versions contain a built-in web server for development and testing, and each integrates with Microsoft IIS, Sun ONE/Netscape/iPlanet (JX only), and Apache web servers for deployment. Looking to replace CFML with ASP or PHP due to budgetary reasons? Stick with CFML instead, and deploy with the base version of BlueDragon Server on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux platforms for FREE! BlueDragon Server includes support for CFCs, XML, Web Services, and Java and C++ CFX tags. Functionality is robust and useful for most CFML applications. BlueDragon Server JX adds additional functionality to BlueDragon Server, including precompiled/encrypted CFML templates, J2EE session management, enterprise database drivers, support for SSL, support for additional OS/web server combinations - plus the ability to deploy hybrid CFML/JSP web applications (including shared access to data within J2EE sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML and JSP pages, calling Java objects from CFML, and more). See the BlueDragon Feature Comparison matrix for more information on the differences between BlueDragon Server and BlueDragon Server JX.		BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework allows you to natively integrate and deploy your CFML on the .NET platform. Leverage BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework for native high-performance integration with ASP.NET, ADO.NET, C# and Visual Basic.NET - plus the ability to deploy hybrid CFML/ASP.NET web applications (including shared access to data within .NET sessions, includes between CFML & ASP.NET pages, calling .NET objects from CFML, calling CFCs and custom tags from ASP.NET, and more). BlueDragon for J2EE Application Servers (BlueDragon/J2EE^TM) is a portable CFML runtime module for any standard J2EE application server - from enterprise servers including BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere (including Network Deployment), to open source servers including Tomcat and JBoss. BlueDragon/J2EE integrates CFML with JSPs, Servlets, EJBs and other J2EE^TM technologies. Like Server JX, it also enables integration with JSP/servlets including shared access to data within J2EE sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML & JSP pages, calling Java objects from CFML and more.

BlueDragon runs CFML from within three basic configurations:

BlueDragon Server, a java-based web application server for deploying CFML - BlueDragon Server JX adds the ability to deploy hybrid CFML/JSP web applications (including shared access to data within J2EE sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML and JSP pages, calling Java objects from CFML, and more) and other features.

BlueDragon Server (FREE) is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
BlueDragon Server JX is available for Windows, Mac OS X, SPARC Solaris and Linux.

BlueDragon for J2EE Application Servers, a J2EE application server adaptor for redeploying and integrating CFML with any J2EE platform - including the ability to deploy hybrid CFML/JSP web applications with shared access to data within J2EE sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML and JSP pages, calling Java objects from CFML, and more.

BlueDragon/J2EE is available for Windows, Mac OS X, SPARC Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX and Linux.

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework, a .NET Framework assembly for redeploying and integrating CFML with any Microsoft.NET platform - plus the ability to deploy hybrid CFML/ASP.NET web applications (including shared access to data within .NET sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML and ASP.NET pages, calling .NET objects from CFML, calling CFML components and custom tags from ASP.NET, and more).

BlueDragon for .NET is available for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003.
