Coldfusion and Java

I have recently been doing some work with java, making a contacts manager.

I was just wondering what people thought about using java with coldfusion?

Does it give any advantages?

Is it easy to integrate the two?

Just want a few opinions really.

Yes, I can provide some advantages, but that's a large discussion. It can provide speed advantages in many cases, and - as part of your other question - can integrate your ColdFusion application into an existing Java architecture (if it exists).

It is easy to integrate the two.

I use Java objects in ColdFusion all the time. The CreateObject( "java" ) method makes it really easy; and, as long as you consistently use JavaCast() when passing in arguments, there is rarely every a problem.

Similarly to what Ben said, we have used Java objects in ColdFusion to perform certain tasks. Dan Vega recently made a post in which he is using the Java File Component for Directory/File Browsing.

Similarly, other Java classes can be leveraged for some good use.

Since CF is build on Java, it's very easy/handy to use it. I recently had to "drop down" into Java to connect to a server via tcp/ip with Java sockets.

I'm more interested in writing Groovy with CFGroovy. I think you may want to look into that as well.
