Sweet! That's exactly what I needed. I'll write a few apps with the examples you have provided, today. Thanx a bunch.

Subject: Re: Where: Java with ColdFusion



PC,

that's easy. There are tons of java classes out there to perform tasks that can then be easily accesed via CFMX.

For instance:

The Jakarta POI Project, http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/, is a Java API for some MS formats. This means you can create data as fully-functioning .xls Excel files and not just as .csv data. See this blog for info:
http://www.d-ross.org/index.cfm?objectid=9C65ECEC-508B-E116-6F8A9F878188D7CA


iText, http://www.lowagie.com/iText/, is a text2pdf class that allows you to generate PDFs on the fly. It doesn't deal with RTF data, but there's another project that soon will.

Apache FOP, http://xml.apache.org/fop/, is an java project that converts XML to a variety of formats. CFMX & FOP article here:

(Although I find PDF encryption easier with Ghostscript)


There's more, but I gotta get back to work. ;)

HTH,

I don't know if this is a can of worms, but where would you use Java with CF? I could see it used to create a more indepth CFFile custom tag, but I'm would like to know where it could be used on a larger scale such as an application.
