BlueDragon 7.1: Deploying CFML on ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework 1

1 Introduction

BlueDragon 7.1 for the Microsoft .NET Framework (commonly referred to as BlueDragon.NET)

allows CFML applications to be deployed on Windows servers running the Microsoft .NET

Framework, the Microsoft IIS web server, and ASP.NET. The Microsoft .NET Framework is

built-in to Windows 2008 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 2003 Server; and, can be in-

stalled onto Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

While most web applications on .NET are built with ASP.NET and other components of the

.NET framework, BlueDragon makes it possible for the .NET Framework to also process CFML

applications. BlueDragon.NET is the only way to run CFML on the .NET Framework.

BlueDragon.NET is about empowering CFML to integrate with your organization’s .NET devel-

opment and take full advantage of the enterprise features of this strategic platform.

1.1 About This Document

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 pro-

prietary Adobe ColdFusion server software. See section 6 for details on the technical underpin-

nings of how BlueDragon.NET is implemented.

This document also offers a brief overview of the .NET Framework. More importantly, it ex-

plains 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.

1.2 About CFML

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, partic-

ularly 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 applica-

tion 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 stan-

dardization on .NET (and ASP.NET) creates a problem for organizations that have legacy appli-

cations implemented in CFML; prior to the introduction of BlueDragon these applications could

only be deployed on proprietary Allaire/Macromedia ColdFusion application servers.
