My personal preference is not to hit cfc's directly. Instead, I use a
framework (ModelGlue, Fusebox, etc) for *every* request, be it an ajax one
or anything else. My cfc method just knows that it gets given a

Well he was, but mine is that he probably shouldn't be - not unless he can

(Not wanting any of this to come across as offensive/etc)
Both technologies would be substantial shifts from what a CF
programmer is used to. Both .NET and Java benefit from having a
college education in engineering / computer science, or the equivalent
years of experience, since both are have high learning curves. Another
technology to learn is Adobe
One advantage of choosing Java will be a deeper understanding of CF -
increasing your value as a CF developer at well as giving you a second

If you are out of a job, Adobe is (or at least was) giving away flex builder

You can use array notation for your structure keys here. So:
cfset LOCAL.retVal.page = 1
Becomes:
cfset LOCAL.retVal['page'] = 1
Using array notation in this only way AFAIK to force the case of your keys
(CF will uppercase them otherwise).
