I'm a J2EE/C++ developer and software architect. But I am curious as to the business reasons why I would want to develop an application using both CF and J2EE, inclusive of EJB's. Why not do the whole thing in J2EE using many of the "free" tag libraries that are available? I've seen more of this type of approach being covered in discussion threads out on the web, but they are technical discussions only. Is there a business reason (i.e. cost savings in development time/manpower/salary, savings in maintenance over life of product, etc) for taking such an approach that you have seen/experienced? As an architect, I have to take both the business and the technical reasons into consideration when designing a new project and coming up with the Project Schedule/budget/manpower forcasts. Thanks in advance for any comments/past experiences that you can share.

It is part of Ben Forta's Reality ColdFusion series, so includes 5 different application and goes through the process of creating each - allowing the reader to understand the process behind the application and why we used J2EE where we did. Plus you get 5 fully functional apps: a portal, CRM app, B2B exchange, e-commerce (with EJBs) and an XML content syndication engine. If you are interested go to http://www.forta.com/books/0321129482/ or contact me directly. Hope all is going well with everyone.
