Discussion on:

ColdFusion's Java connection

I will kick this one off myself.

One thing I did not mention in the article, and something I do often when integrating with java, is to create coldfusion functions (or even cfc's) as wrappers to the actual java calls. Effectively, you create coldfusion interfaces to your java code.

This makes things easier for coldfusion developers with zero java experience to use and follow your code.

Perhaps the next installement could cover casting to more complex datatypes (like java arrays)?
- and creating and branching threads?
- and error handling?
- and java db connection (as a replacement to cfquery) and getting a CF query object back?
- and...and...

(don't want much, do I? LOL!)
