Integration and coordination of multiple systems. For example, in a reservation system you would call an EJB and send over a bunch of data. Then, the EJB does the following: - authorize creditcard - place option on airplane ticket - place option on car rental - place option on hotel room - order ticket - order car - order hotel room - charge creditcard - confirm ticket - confirm car - confirm hotel room - write log to database (This would in reality probably be a bunch of EJB's working together.) Only the creditcard tranactions require an integration with VISA which is next door, the airplane reservation is done with some online system in Canada, the car rental is something internal and the hotel reservation is done on Bali. No way you can do this in the database or client side. You could do it in CF, you can do anything in CF, but then how would you reuse that in a non web based environment?
