On the contrary. Your company has made a strategic decision to builds its IT infrastructure on an incredibly powerful facilitating technology, one that is steadily growing in popularity. J2EE (the Java platform) provides the architecture and the building blocks needed to build reliable, robust, and scalable applications. But all that power comes with a price (and not just the cost of software) – J2EE development is complex and beyond the scope of most members of most organizations. And even for experienced Java developers, not all tasks need be (or even should be) written in low-level Java. ColdFusion MX can sit on top of J2EE implementations, leveraging the underlying architecture and investment, while making its power accessible to all. Or put another way, ColdFusion MX delivers the power of underlying J2EE to those to whom it would have been inaccessible, and along the way makes accomplished Java developers far more productive. Not only does a move to J2EE not preclude the use of ColdFusion, it actually makes ColdFusion a logical choice for you – you've already made a massive investment (both financially and resource-wise), with just a little more money that investment can actually become usable by all.
