Hiya, First, ColdFusion is real Java. :) A) Deploy CF in the J2EE environment
of your choice. JRun comes bundled with the Enterprise edition, and I just
today deployed a CF MX application in Oracle Application Server. The
instructions for this will depend on which J2EE environment you go with. B)
Not sure I understand this one, but the Dreamweaver doesn't need anything else
besides itself to work. C) I think the answer to this one is that CF can
access Java objects pretty easily - use the CFOBJECT tag D) Since CF MX is a
Java application, it uses JDBC to communicate with databases best o' luck
