Here is what Adobe has to say (emphasis mine):

Using the built-in web server

The ColdFusion server configuration is built on top of JRun, which includes the JRun web server (JWS), also called the built-in web server. Although not intended for use in a production environment, the built-in web server is particularly useful in the following cases:


Coexistence/transition: The built-in web server lets you run a previous version of ColdFusion (using an external web server) and ColdFusion (using the built-in web server) on the same computer while you migrate your existing applications to ColdFusion.

Development

If your workstation runs ColdFusion but does not run an external web server, you can still develop and test ColdFusion applications locally through the built-in web server
