Prior to 2000, Edwin Smith, an Allaire architect on JRun and later the [[Flash Player]], Tom Harwood and Clement Wong initiated a project codenamed "Neo".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9025154931505227826 |title=ColdFusion's 10th Birthday Party |access-date=2011-09-29 |archive-date=2011-10-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111011175737/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9025154931505227826 |url-status=live }}</ref> This project was later revealed as a ColdFusion Server re-written completely using [[Java platform|Java]]. This made portability easier and provided a layer of security on the server, because it ran inside a Java Runtime Environment.

In June 2002 Macromedia released the version 6.0 product under a slightly different name, ColdFusion MX, allowing the product to be associated with both the Macromedia brand and its original branding. ColdFusion MX was completely rebuilt from the ground up and was based on the [[Java EE]] platform. ColdFusion MX was also designed to integrate well with Macromedia Flash using Flash Remoting.

With the release of ColdFusion MX, the CFML language API was released with an [[Object-oriented programming|OOP]] interface.
