2. BlueDragon Product Configurations
BlueDragon is currently available in three product configurations: BlueDragon Server,
BlueDragon Server JX, BlueDragon for J2EE and BlueDragon for .NET.
2.1 BlueDragon Server and Server JX
The BlueDragon standalone server is available in two editions: BlueDragon Server JX, a
full-featured web application server that supports CFML, JSP, and Java Servlets; and, the
entry-level BlueDragon Server that only supports CFML (not JSP or Java Servlets) and
has other feature limitations as compared to BlueDragon Server JX.
BlueDragon Server is free for deployment, meaning you can use it in production, with
restrictions only on redistribution. Redistribution of BlueDragon as part of a packaged
application requires a VAR/OEM Licensing Agreement with New Atlanta. For more
details on New Atlanta's VAR/OEM licensing program, please email
[e-mail]).
BlueDragon Server is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, while BlueDragon
Server JX is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
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.
See the BlueDragon 6.1 User Guide and BlueDragon 6.1 CFML Compatibility Guide for
information on other limitations in the BlueDragon Server FREE edition.
2.2 BlueDragon/J2EE
BlueDragon for J2EE Servers (BlueDragon/J2EE) allows you to deploy CFML
applications as native J2EE components on BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss,
and other standard J2EE servers (and servlet engines such as Apache Tomcat and New
Atlanta ServletExec).
In addition to enabling native integration with other J2EE components on the server (such
as EJBs, JMS, and more), you can also leverage features of the J2EE server which can
include supporting multiple independent instances of your web application, clustering of
your application across multiple servers, load balancing and failover, support for J2EE
sessions and J2EE datasources, and more.
