Afternoon Greg, I've done my fair share of SMS and MMS messaging in the past from cf applications. You should'nt need any JAVA work arounds however I would definitly stear clear of the cfmail route, people have reported many problems about that in the past, ol' Ben did a good job of pointing those out in that blog post.
You need two things to get yourself running: A) An aggregator. This is a service provider who will send the messages to your recipients. B) The cfhttp tag. This will allow you to hit the aggregators webservices and make your requests to send messages. For MMS messages you usualy have a field which contains a base64 encoded binary data of the file you're looking to send, this can be gotten using simple cffile reads and the toBase64() method. Do some googling around for SMS aggregators, there are many to choose from and they usualy offer a free trial with 10-20 message credits for you to play around with. They will also offer a bunch of different communication methods so you dont have to use cfhttp if you dont want.
