The CFX API has a number of different limitations that might hamper certain
solutions but there are some established work arounds to those limitations.
Likewise, as you are certainly aware, your C++ solution may not be the most
portable if you must address a cross platform solution. All of the old
Allaire and current Macromedia documentation for writing C++ CFXs tend to
increase porting problems.

You might consider picking up a copy of the ColdFusion MX Developer's
Handbook. Chapter 21 covers writing C++ CFXs and discusses how to handle
some of the porting issues. Specifically, it shows how to use the STL for
basic services which the Allaire/Macromedia examples immediately fall into
platform specific libraries (such as using the STL string library vs.
Microsoft's MFC CStr). Likewise there are some tips in Chapter 20 (which is
targeted at Java) that are equally useful for doing certain things in C++).

Good luck.

Subject: Coldfusion and C++
Hi,
I'm an experienced CF/Java/Php developer creating a framework for
API calls
in C++ (it needs to be in C++ for historic reasons) Are there any
pitfalls
using the cfx tags to integrate Coldfusion and C++? Has anyone got
any
advice on this ?
