Deploying CFML on ASP.NET Using BlueDragon
This document describes how to install BlueDragon.NET and run CFML applications via the Microsoft IIS web server and the .NET framework, without requiring the installation of proprietary Adobe ColdFusion server software. See section 6 for details on the technical underpinnings of how BlueDragon.NET is implemented.
This document also offers a brief overview of the .NET Framework. More importantly, it explains the many benefits of .NET deployment for CFML developers. It discusses the many forms of integration that are possible between CFML pages and native .NET components, including ASP.NET pages. Section 3 discusses these many benefits, and the details and code examples of integrating CFML and ASP.NET are detailed in a separate document, Integrating CFML with ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
ColdFusion® Markup Language (CFML) is a popular server-side markup language for building dynamic database-driven web sites. Unlike scripting-based alternatives such as ASP or PHP, CFML is based primarily on HTML-like markup tags (though CFML also contains a scripting language component). CFML is characterized by its low learning curve and ease-of-use, particularly for web developers who do not have a technical background in programming languages such as C/C++ or Java. CFML was originally developed by Allaire Corporation in the late 1990’s; Allaire was acquired by Macromedia, Inc. in early 2001, which in turn was acquired by Adobe Systems Inc. in late 2005.
Over the past several years, many organizations have begun adopting standards-based application servers for their Internet and intranet web site deployments. In particular, there has been a significant migration to application servers based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. This standardization on .NET (and ASP.NET) creates a problem for organizations that have legacy applications implemented in CFML; prior to the introduction of BlueDragon these applications could only be deployed on proprietary Allaire/Macromedia ColdFusion application servers.
