2 ColdFusion Compatibility
2.1 ColdFusion Compatibility
The BlueDragon implementation of the CFML scripting language is designed to be
highly compatible with the Macromedia ColdFusion MX 6.1 (CFMX) implementation.
This document describes differences in syntax and semantics between the two imple-
mentations, including BlueDragon enhancements that are not supported by ColdFusion
Server 5.0 (CF5) or CFMX. Except where explicitly noted, all occurrences of “Cold-
Fusion” in this document refer to both CF5 and CFMX.
With the 6.1 release, BlueDragon now implements features introduced by Macromedia
ColdFusion MX (CFMX), such as ColdFusion Components (CFCs), XML processing,
and Web Services.
This document is not a complete reference to the CFML scripting language; for in-depth
coverage of CFML, the following books are recommended:
