The SocketGateway is your friend for this. An instance of it basically listens and responds to TCP/IP port traffic on a port you can define.
As a general rule of thumb: - If you want to use one of the existing EG types (e.g. you're setting up an instance) - you'd usually be writing CF code for your app using the EG instance - If you want to come up with and create a new EG type - you'd usually write that in Java.
