Since you can invoke Java objects into CF, you can leverage the data types of Java and other methods to augment CF. This is not uncommon.
Why use CF over Java? Well, you don't compile the Java object after you manipulate it in CF. You let the CF parser do that for you at run-time. CF is easier to use. Though, you will have to know how to invoke the methods of the Java class objects you are trying to work with, but CF makes it easy to load the Java. In a very simple approach, CF is a Java application that makes Java easier to chew. If you start using more Java methods than CF, you may want to jump into the arena of being a Java developer.
