Extending Java With ColdFusion

http://www.rupeshk.org/blog/

Coldfusion IS java

JEE APP SERVER - JAVAAPP

CF APP

JAVA APP2

CF APP2 etc

ALl the objects in CF are in Java and vv (eg strings, querys, arrays, numbers)

WHY?

CF use Java? - take advantage of libraries. Features not available in CF, eg EHCACHE, Hibernate. iText, Webchart

WHY

Java use CF? (*** THIS COULD BE A WAY TO MIGRATE BW TO CF SLOWLY)

Easy, Rapid development, readymade services

CF use Java

Java CFX Tags. (write in java, serve in CF)

JSP/Servlets/tag libraries.

We are Talking about Direct invocation:

createObject("java",className) CFCFOBJECT type="java" class="classname" name="variable">

invoke using:

obj.foo(arg1,artg2)

eg

cfobject type="java class="java.lang.StringBuffer" name="bigg"

cfset buf.init("CfUnited")

cfset buff.append(" 2010")

(I cant type fast enough - hope its available after)

Basically he's going through demos of how to call java from CF and vice-versa
