Most likely, but I really do not understand your quesiton. "cftags
based on java such as cfimage?" All ColdFusion products are not built
on Java and thus all tags are based on Java.

The main reasons to get enterprise over standard are the need for a
native Oracle database driver, the desire to have multiple instances of
ColdFusion running on the same machine for application isolation, load
balancing and|or fail over purposes and gateways for asynchronous
processing.

Other then these features the capabilities of Standard and Enterprise
are very similar with just a few of the features being slower on
standard such as <cfmail...> throughput, etc.

One of these days I am going to develop a "here is what you meant to
type" checker and make my fortune.

no, you're not wrong. cf8 standard includes all the event gateways, they're just
"throttled".
