My CFEverywhere apps works on my development machine but when I deploy to another machine it doesn't work. What gives?
The "default" CFE package doesn't include a Java Runtime Environment. This means the target machine must have a JRE for the application to function. It would be possible to build a CFE package that includes a JRE to eliminate that dependency.
