wait() is a java method of the Object class, and is used with the
notify() method.  It's part of java's synchronization system, and is
definitely not like sleeping.  Here are the javadocs for Object:

Hi,

I had already tried executing it to find out, I get this error when I
execute wait() with a numeric value as the argument:

current thread not owner

Thanks,

Dave

I would expect CreateObject("java","java.lang.Thread").sleep(x);

Try this:

<cfoutput>
#getTickCount()#
<cfset wait(1000)>
#getTickCount()#
</cfoutput>

Granted, if it accepts an argument in seconds (instead of ms), then
you'd be looking at a wait of a little over 16 minutes.
