<cfset filename = "/path/to/file" />
<cfset fis = createObject("java", "java.io.FileInputStream").init(filename)
/>
<cfset bis = createObject("java", "java.io.BufferedInputStream").init(fis)
/>
And if your file is text-only (not binary), you can convert it to a reader,
rather than an input stream:
<cfset filename = "/path/to/file" />
<cfset fis = createObject("java", "java.io.FileInputStream").init(filename)
/>
<cfset isr = createObject("java", "java.io.InputStreamReader").init(fis) />
<cfset br = createObject("java", "java.io.BufferedReader").init(isr) />
You can then read in the file's contents out of the input stream or reader,
and the underlying java will take care of buffering it off the disk for you.
