@Neil - thanks. NB A bit OT, but while I’m here I noticed another blog you mentioning a bluedragon-commented.xml file in the WAR distro. It ain’t in the one I downloaded this morning. Am I looking in the right place?

@Richard For you things should be quite easy assuming that language compatibility isn’t an issue for you. You can still deploy WAR files, but your development workflow may change slightly depending on how you want to use openBD (source vs WAR vs Jetty etc).

Thanks for this post Neil. We are going to be looking at this possibility. Currently we deliver CF apps to clients packaged as WAR files, but unfortunately each one requires a CF (Adobe) enterprise license limiting the pricing options. And that even if the client has no idea that they are running CF. (One possible issue is CFDOCUMENT compatibility. We use this a lot, and I need to find out exactly what the support for the tag is in OpenBD)

All you people blogging about video my bandwidth limit was reached :). That’s a GOOD thing though the more people watching the more people learning!! I sorted out the bandwidth I now have 25x more space with the host and it should be back online now for all to enjoy. I’ll be more proactive to get more bandwidth on my next video…coming shortly

@Dan it appears that the screencast has exploded. Adam Haskell was the originator so I would assume that he will sort it out soon ;).

I find myself more and more interested with this project. I would love to see a tutorial where you could walk us through setting up a development environment as well as setting up an example application. FYI - The link above is not working.

There should be some interesting discussions at Scotch on the Rocks (http://www.scotch-on-the-rocks.co.uk/) given that 60% of the Steering Committee will be there.
