You might look at Bluedragon. The .Net version if I remember
correctly has support for .Net objects via createObject. This is if I am
remembering this correctly.(not quite awake this morning.)

Awesome - that's exactly the type of info I was looking for.
Yeah - we've got a lot of points of integration with legacy systems in our
application, including a lot of legacy COM objects. We're trying to replace
as many of them with CFCs as humanly possible, hence my question.
Now if I could only convince them to add support for .NET objects in CF . .
. (BlackKnight doesn't count).

It's not every day you see VB on a CFML mailing list. Anyway, the best
way to go is to use the Java thread sleep method. There is a difference
between blocking the thread using Java vs. COM. Specifically, you will
block more than one thread with COM.
