One word of caution. Even though using the ColdFusion datasources in java is simple, I am fairly certain that the ColdFusion java libraries are undocumented (to the public at least). I don't know if Adobe plans to change this for upcoming releases (it would be great if they would), but I would definitely think twice before creating a large Java app that had dependencies on any part of the ColdFusion Java library.
I hope that someone can prove me wrong and provide a link to some kind of JavaDoc or something similar, but as far as I know, it doesn't exist. I know it took me a great deal of searching to learn about the QueryTable object that can be used to pass JDBC result sets back to ColdFusion as <cfquery> objects - Justin On 9/27/06, Leon Oosterwijk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've done this.
