Choosing a server technology
You can use MX to build web applications using five server technologies: ColdFusion, ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, or PHP. Each of these technologies corresponds to a document type in . Choosing one for your web application depends on several factors, including your level of comfort with various scripting languages and the application server you plan to use. If you’re new to web application development or to application development in general, you’ll probably prefer ColdFusion because it provides an easy-to-learn server scripting environment that’s also tightly integrated with . If you’re familiar with other server technologies, such as JSP, PHP, ASP, or ASP.NET, offers great support for these as well. Your choice of server technology also depends on the application server you plan to use for your web application. An application server is software that helps a web server process web pages containing server-side scripts or tags. For example, if you have the ColdFusion MX, you can choose ColdFusion as your server technology. If you have access to a server running Microsoft Internet Information Server 5 (IIS) with the .NET Framework, you can choose ASP.NET. PHP is an option if you have access to a web server with a PHP application server; JSP is an option if you have access to a web server with a JSP application server (such as JRun).
