I just read about Morph, another one of Winston Damarillo’s startups. Winston’s past startup successes include Gluecode Software, acquired by IBM, and Logicblaze, acquired by Iona Technologies. Based on his track record, Morph is definitely a vendor I’d be watching in the cloud space.

Yesterday’s news from Morph centers on adding support for Java and Grails apps on its platform as a service, Morph AppSpace.

I was willing to brush it aside as another harmless mistake by some high profile sites, “we all make mistakes”. However, Mrinal’s second tweet (Mrinal’s articles are here and here) got me thinking and wanted to bring forth some clarifications for the Rich Internet Applications (RIA) realm.

ZDNet

Recently, Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet wrote an article — Microsoft Live Mesh to get more competition from Sun. While talking about JavaOne where Sun unveils their future cloud-computing platform — Hydrazine — which will be in direct competition with similar offerings from Microsoft, Google, Amazon and others, she wrote

*Enterprise Class MVC with ColdFusion and Java is one of the sessions at the cf.Objective() 2008 Conference.

We hear a lot of talk about using individual Java objects within ColdFusion but the reality of enterprise development is that entire subsystems tend to built entirely in Java.

Software teams that serve the enterprise often build large, complex systems using Spring and Hibernate. How do you go about using ColdFusion with such systems?
