Vince, I can see many uses for this. One it opens the world of CFML to pure Java shops where they can keep there existing apps in java and have them use CFC's. This give you the best of both worlds. Power of Java and development speed of CFC's.
This would also allow the Java version of Mach-II to have CFC event listeners. Which could possible allow the Java version of Mach-II the standard version of Mach-II to use for Cold Fusion on J2EE. I also belive that this is one of the big stepping stones for new CFC gateway feature of Blackstone. The one thing I would like to see with this is for the Bluedragon and CFMX to have the same syntax for invocing CFC from java as passible. Though a facade java class could probably be written that implements a generic method for calling CFC from Java that looks to see if the Bluedragon or CFMX syntax should be used. So this is probably not a big issue.

Did you know that BlueDragon 6.1 already supports source-less (compiled) deployment, and deployment in standard WAR files? So we've already got 2-out-of-3 of your requirements covered--no need to wait until 2005. (BTW, BlueDragon has had these features for almost two years now, and are two of the key reasons people choose BlueDragon).

A direct call from a jsp tag library to a CFC would enable us to deploy our API directly to the whole Java community without having to re-write one single line of code. This is one of the most exciting features of Blackstone, with the ability to distribute compiled java code and to distribute CF and my apps as a WAR file. For an ISV, itīs a must.

How important is this feature? I'm curious because we have a preliminary implementation for BlueDragon that we withheld from BD 6.1 due to time constraints. We could probably deliver it in BD 6.2 if enough people were interested.
