[thelist] CFX on Linux?

[John Pye]

Hi Frank

CFX tags need to be compiled for the machine you are using. The exception
might be Java-based CFX tags. I have tried using DLL CFX tags on Linux,
before I worked out how it all fitted together, and they certainly DON'T
work.

CFX tags are normally little C++ programs, compiled with a special cold
fusion library and header files. This header file lets you interact with
cold fusion by giving you commands for creating query objects, raising
exceptions, retreive calling attributes, and write output to Cold Fusion.

As well as the C++ library, there is a Java library ('interface') that gives
similar functionality.

I have wondered about writing a nice little CFX wrapper to Saxon (the XSLT
processor) - if anyone has looked into that, I'd be keen to hear about it!

Do CFX tags run on both Linux and Windows? More precisely, will a tag
(a compiled binary) whose file name ends with '.dll' function under
Linux as well as Win? I guess I'm asking if the binaries are used by
the CF Server as an extension, or are they bound to the OS. (I'm
still not sure if the question is clear-let me know if it's not).
