Question

Need to get cold fusion operating on a box where internet access is not permitted (prisons). The developer edition seems the logical choice. This would work fine for developing our prototype box. Question is - if i have to start deploying 100's or potententially thousands of stand alone boxes - are their any limitations on the number of downloads i can do. If their are limitations - need someone to advise on cost.

    ColdFusion is not designed to build desktop applications.

    The developer edition is not designed to do more then allow the development and local testing of CFML code by the programmer on his workstation.  It has a two IP limit.  Only two IP's per ColdFusion service|dameon and the localhost loopback IP of 127.0.0.1, can connect to a developer licensed ColdFusion application server.

    You do not need an intERnet to make use of ColdFusion.  In fact, more CFML code is published to private intRAnet networks.  I presume, but I could be wrong, these prison computers would be networked together?  Then you would only need one licensed (Standard is most likely sufficient) per network.

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for your response.

    No intranet either. Only standalone pc's permitted.

    The reason I want to use cold fusion is that we already have cold fusion 8 standard edition for the outside world, and I want to keep everything on the same platform.

    Any suggestions?

    Having no idea what you are trying to do.

    AIR?  Adobe Air is a tool that supposedly allows one to use ones HTML, JavaScript and CFML skills to create Flash based stand-alone and browser plugin client applications.  I've only done a couple of "Hello World" AIR exercises so I am not really confidant on its strengths and weaknesses.  But those excercises where sure easy enough to complie code into a desktop application.

    Since you are not dealing with networked client-server applicaiton, a ColdFusion Application Server on every client would sure be overkill just to run a non-networked application.  I also presuem this application is not going to be a heavy database application since you do not seem to be talking about adding Oracle or MSSQL Server or even MySQL database servers to all these clients.  So the Derby database that I beleive is bundled in AIR applications should be sufficient for the database needs that I can only imagine.
