Java arrays are a little different than CF "arrays". You have to declare a java array's size up front. Once declared, the array is immutable. So unlike in CF, you cannot append elements or remove them. You can only change the values of existing elements. So it is not really what we think of as an "array" in CF terms. When you think CF array, think java "List". ie A modifiable collection of elements.
