Thanks Dave. That was exactly the problem. I added the path to my database driver jar file to coldfusion and worked like a charm.

Presumably, your Java program uses JDBC to invoke a database driver, etc. When you run it by itself, presumably that database driver is in the classpath and can be found by your program. When you run your program from within CF, however, it probably won't be able to find or use it. It would be easier, generally, to let CF handle your data retrieval, and simply perform your calculations in your Java class.
