Can't be done directly--there's no bridge between Java and .NET (at least not yet, AFAIK).
Two options, 1. Wrap the .NET assembly inside a Web Service, as you said (but I wouldn't call it kludgy since this is the most current recommended way to program cross-platform/language interaction). 2. Wrap the .NET assembly inside a .NET COM interop class. This should be fairly straight forward. As I understand it, COM classes created in .NET do not by default expose the IDispatch interface which CFMX relies on for using COM, so you have to do something in the .NET COM interop class to tell it to expose IDispatch. There was a post on MM's forums that detailed how to do this (from MM tech support). Search groups.google.com.
