ColdFusion on Railo

As you know from a previous post, i've been looking at the possibilities of setting up a cheap CF enviroment. What I didn't mention is Railo. I remember hearing about this probably a year plus ago, and Gert Franz (Railo core developer) reminded me on the HoF again.

Well what can i say. Its shocked me a little. I've been using the Railix version which "is a fully installed and configured version that can be used instantly. This version contains a fully functional Java Server (Jetty). You can use Railo without having installed any Webservers. " To set this up all i had to do was unzip the downloaded file to c:\railo\ and run start.bat. From there it was all ready to go at http://127.0.0.1:8888/.

I like Railo too, i'm testing my AVBlog application on it and it works just fine (only some minor problems to fix) and faster than over CFMX 7
