With three different versions to choose from, BlueDragon offers unmatched flexibility for the deployment of ColdFusion® Markup Language (CFML) pages with native technology platform integration on the operating system, web server and database of your choice.

The BlueDragon Server^TM family of Java-based servers (Server and Server JX) enables the stand-alone deployment of CFML, in addition to native integration with JavaServer Pages (JSPs). Plus, the entry-level version of BlueDragon Server is FREE! for deployment.

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 COM, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, C# and Visual Basic.NET.

BlueDragon for J2EE Application Servers 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 for J2EE Application Servers integrates CFML with JSPs, Servlets, EJBs and other J2EE^TM technologies.

Deploy your CFML on a stand-alone Java-based server. 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 or Linux platforms for FREE!

This entry-level version of BlueDragon Server is free for development, testing and non-commercial (non-SSL) deployment. BlueDragon Server includes support for CFCs, XML, Web Services, and Java and C++ CFX tags. Functionality is robust - with all CFML tags fully enabled!

Note: The use of BlueDragon Server within a hosted environment or redistributed as part of a packaged application requires a separate agreement with New Atlanta, and may require a licensing fee.

For more details on New Atlanta's Hosting or VAR/OEM licensing program, please email Sales.

For detailed comparisons on CFML tag support, platform availability and functionality between BlueDragon Server and Server JX, please review the CFML Tag Support and the Feature Comparison matrices.

BlueDragon Server JX adds additional functionality to BlueDragon 7.0 Server, including Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) and 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) - plus the ability to create and deploy Precompiled, Encrypted CFML templates!

BlueDragon Server JX also contains JDBC^TM drivers for all popular database servers, including JTurbo®, New Atlanta's J2EE-certified Type 4 JDBC driver for connecting to Microsoft SQL Server.

    With the addition of BlueDragon for the
    Microsoft .NET Framework, CFML is now
    the only cross-platform web-scripting
    language that allows you to deploy
    natively on .NET and J2EE.

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework
BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework allows you to natively integrate and deploy your CFML on the .NET platform. Leverage BlueDragon for native high-performance integration with COM, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, C# and Visual Basic.NET.

Deployable as a .NET Framework assembly residing in the .NET Global Assembly Cache (GAC), BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework offers true native platform deployment of CFML on the .NET platform.

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework is implemented as an HttpHandler (the ASP.NET equivalent of a Java Servlet) and is delivered in an assembly (BlueDragon.dll). CFML pages are automatically processed from within any ASP.NET web application (IIS directory or virtual directory).

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework leverages the underlying ASP.NET mechanisms for storing Application, Request, and Session variables - - which are automatically mapped by BlueDragon to .NET objects. These variables can then be shared by ASP.NET pages written in any supported language like C#, VB.NET, ... This is similar to variables shared between CFML and JSP pages in the Java versions of BlueDragon.

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework uses ADO.NET as the data access mechanism. Supported ADO.NET data providers include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and ODBC (these are all delivered by Microsoft as part of .NET Framework 1.1), among others. An ADO.NET data provider is analogous to a JDBC driver.

BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework enhances the CFOBJECT tag to allow you to invoke .NET objects written in any supported programming language (C#, VB.NET, COM, etc.). CFX tags can also be written in any .NET programming language.

Further, BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework enables invocation of CFCs and custom tags (as well as including CFML pages) from within ASP.NET pages. With BlueDragon, you can leverage your existing CFML investment while enhancing your code base to take advantage of native .NET features in ASP.NET pages.

BlueDragon for J2EE Application Servers (BlueDragon/J2EE^TM) is a portable CFML runtime module for existing J2EE application servers, including BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Oracle and JBoss. BlueDragon/J2EE integrates CFML with JSPs, Servlets, EJBs, and other J2EE^TM technologies.

Separate versions of BlueDragon/J2EE are not necessary for J2EE servers from different vendors - none are required because BlueDragon/J2EE is a portable standards-based implementation.

Using BlueDragon's simple
"Drag, Drop and Deploy" approach, developers can easily:

• Package portable CFML applications within standard J2EE Web ARchive (WAR) or Enterprise ARchive (EAR) files;
• Drop and deploy archives onto BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss and other standard J2EE deployment platforms, without having to install proprietary ColdFusion Server software;
• Deploy CFML pages as precompiled encrypted templates instead of CFML source, thereby protecting intellectual property.

BlueDragon/J2EE also enables integration of CFML and JSP/servlets, including shared access to data within J2EE sessions, ability to perform includes between CFML and JSP pages, calling Java objects from CFML, and more.
