Transfer now works on Railo (And is Insanely fast)

I had read on the Railo Mailing list that Transfer now works on the latest release of Railo 3.0.1.000. So I went to check it out and loaded up the TBlog example app that comes with Transfer and much to my amazement it loaded up between 3-5 seconds (with Debugging on). I went and fired up the same app on CF 8 and it took 25-30 seconds (with debugging on as well). I know that having debugging turned on (Especially with CFC's) really slows down CF serve and is in no way indicative of how the app will perform in production. That, and that there is a significant performance cost when the CF server (re)creates the Java classes... But Daaaaaa-yum! That is almost a ten fold difference. And when I am developing I almost *always* have debugging on. I have also been testing a lot of apps (mine and others) on Railo to see what works and what doesn't. So far so good. The only significant problem I have had was with how Railo handles Structures on Rick Roots ColdFusion File Manager (CFFM). But other than that, most all of the apps that are part of my day in day out work day work flawlessly with Railo. Oh yeah, the latest version of Railo supports CFAjaxProxy. That SO ROCKS!!! Way to go Gert, Michael and the rest of the Railo Crew! I CANNOT WAIT to see Railo 3.1 on Nov 28.

I wrote up a how-to on getting Railo 3 to run with a Hosting control panel (Plesk). Instead of trying to format it to look nice on the blog I published it using Google Docs: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dhn7948x_151dxf7v7f6 Yeah, I know. Plesk has issues. I got a free 10 license version with the VPS and I wasn't about to go R&D and shop for a free Hosting CP nor was I about to set up 8 domains by hand. I would much rather have had H-sphere. Anyhoo. Many thanks to Gert from Railo for letting me swipe some of the images form his interblarg.
