I think you misunderstand what he is looking for. He wants to persist
data across server nodes. The storage method, in-memory, file system, or
database is simply an implementation detail. There are a number of
systems that do support this now in the J2EE space.

I think what he is looking for is some sort of cursor operator that can
iterate in any direction. This is pretty standard for people who are
used to ADO.

There are a few different ways to attack this. You can have the query
object act more like an in-memory materialized view or possible do some
sort of synchronized disconnected resultset.

No, and you would be wise to not use the junk found there. There is very
little CF code available for sale that isn't junk. Forcing a
certification process would allow people who produce quality code to be
differentiated from those who don't.
