It's been a while since I've done any Java programming and I don't claim
to be an expert, but the most common browsers (IE / Navigator) have a Java
Virtual Machine in them. An applet runs in the browser and has nothing to
do with CF, ASP, JSP, or PHP. You don't need any of those technologies to
use a Java applet.
