Can Coldfusion CFCs be instantiated from Java?

I know it is possible to instantiate a Java class from ColdFusion, but is it possible to instantiate a ColdFusion CFC from Java code?

For instance (in Java):

ColdFusionCFC obj = new ColdFusionCFC("filename.cfc");

I am wondering if it is possible to gradually transition away from an existing ColdFusion codebase to some other JVM-based language without needing to rewrite everything right away.

Solution

  • Calling ColdFusion CFCs from Java is a feature of ColdFusion 10. If you're not using CF10, you can call CFCs with remote functions as an HTTP web service.
