Embedded ColdFusion?

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to run a ColdFusion app from a CD-ROM. I can't seem to find anything about embedding a web server onto a CD though. I'm about 99% sure you can't do this with ColdFusion MX, but from a few snippets about New Atlanta's Blue Dragon I think it might just be possible. I just don't have the knowledge to make it happen.

If anyone has been able to run a CF server off of a CD, I'd love to hear about it...

I don't know if this will do what you want, but it is worth a look. Coral

Thanks Bryan, Danilo sent me the same thing off-list. Looks pretty promising :).

There was some discussion of this on CF-Talk recently. Dick Applebaum (who worked out how to run CFMX on OSX) has worked out a way of running CFMX/BlueDragon entirely from a CD. Here's the link to it. http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/49 hth, larry -- Larry C. Lyons Web Analyst BEI Resources American Type Culture Collection

Check out http://www.pcaonline.com/coral/index.cfm wich makes it possible to run CF from CD / HDD. Though it seems as if it is not very up-to date website the latest update of Coral is rather new. regards Ronald

Yep, I've taken a look at that one before. Might be time for a revisit though :).
