Agenda • Why Java • Why CF and Java • J 2 SE integration • J 2 EE integration • Integration issues • The wide world of Java • Q&A

Why Java has greater… • Power • Flexibility • Performance • Code availability However, it comes at a cost!

Why CF And Java CFML is better than JSP!!!

J 2 SE Integration • • • What is J 2 SE JVM JARs CFOBJECT CFX Reflection

What is J 2 SE Java 2 Standard Edition • Specification • JVM • Core Java libraries • Many different vendors
