Actually, that's not correct. While Google doesn't publish their page rank algorithms, it's relatively common knowledge that Google doesn't favor static extensions (.html/.htm) over dynamic extensions any longer, all things being equal. So the last example would work just as well as the first. The next-to-last example will probably work just as well, too. But even if they did, you would be just as well served having CF process an otherwise "static" extension than to worry about URL rewriting. And, of course, you don't need your web server to do URL rewriting at all; you can do all that with Java if you like, and provide that functionality as part of your application.
