BlueDragon is an alternative to ColdFusion, providing an environment to develop CFML-based applications. NOTE: It is useful to also use the `coldfusion` tag for any BlueDragon questions that focus on CFML syntax/language.
BlueDragon is a ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) engine comparable to Adobe Systems's ColdFusion. It is licensed and distributed by New Atlanta from TagServlet Ltd based in Scotland. BlueDragon is also distributed and supported by BEA Systems on their Oracle WebLogic Server server platform.
BlueDragon applications run on a variety of platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It is mostly compatible with ColdFusion MX 7, and provides three distinct versions:
- BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework, which allows native integration/deployment of ColdFusion applications in .NET
- BlueDragon for Java EE Application Servers, providing support for deploying ColdFusion applications to any Java EE app server, such as Oracle WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Tomcat and JBoss.
- BlueDragon Server JX, for standalone ColdFusion application deployment, with support for JSPs (JavaServer Pages).
