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.
