OK, so now that the dust has settled and everyone has had the oppourtunity to take a good look at what has been going on with the open sourcing of Railo (and we’ve had a chance to talk to Gert Franz about it) let’s review some of the facts:
Railo is now a LGPL2 licensed projectThis was one of the bad bits about OpenBD . OpenBD is a GPLv3 license, which basically means that if you want to distribute your code with OpenBD, you must also be running against a GPLv3 license - not good for distributing your CFML apps with a built in engine. Railo is a LGPL2 license which essentially means you can do whatever the hell you want with Railo. You can bundle it with whatever other licenses you want. It’s helluva lot more flexible.
Railo has a load of new featuresSee below for the new features

I came across a strange problem this morning when trying to do some development on one of our servers that is not using the default Sun JVM (the server is Win2K3, CFMX7.0.2 running on BEA JRockit 5).
Whilst this normally runs like a dream, I decided to stomp out an application.cfc. The result? A big fat error. I kept getting the error “CFCServlet must be initialized“.
After some poking around, I found that if I flipped CFMX back onto the default JVM all was good, it a...

Kev McCabe has just pointed me at a new post of the Scotch 2008 website announcing the pricing for next years conference .
