I've been working a lot on CF/Java hybrids... to be honest, I don't end-up using JSP much. In the J2EE world, JSP is primarily a presentation tier construct... ColdFusion is much better suited for the presentation tier. Java Beans, EJBs, simple classes, and sometimes servlets, are often times a good place for logic (it depends on your needs). I've used CFML for the presentation tier in STRUTS based java applications - if your java applications are using STRUTS then that's an option. The best good use for JSPs I've found hasn't been a use of JSPs themselves, but of JSP tags. JSP tags are easily imported for use in CFML pages with the CFIMPORT tag, and they can be a good place to put simple shared functionality that's better written in Java than CFML and are also sometimes a good way to provide a "friendlier" interface to your EJBs and other Java bits. Regarding your question about whether or not you could work on 6-10 projects in a year if you're doing Java work - if it's JSP development then that's certainly feasible... it's not impossible if you're doing more serious Java development, but I'd say it's not as common due to the fact that those applications are typically more complex. It really all depends on what you're doing.
