See Ben Forta's tour report:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/blackstone.html
In particular:
"Lots of Other Goodies
Big and exciting marquee features grab the limelight, but there is a
lot more to Blackstone too. Some of the other goodies include:
...
* Access to CFC code from Java
..."
So Blackstone will include the raw access that you mention.
The question is then whether the event gateway adds value on top of
that. I'll argue it does.
Blackstone will ship with a number of out-of-the-box gateways that
connect to a number of protocols - meaning ColdFusion developers don't
need to write them. That in itself is a win.
Blackstone also provides an easy-to-use basic framework for such
gateways to run inside, wired into the CF Admin. Ease of management is
another win.
