integration with existing ASP.net website

We have an existing website developed in asp.net
There is an activity calender in the website that we want to integrate with MS Exchange servers.
I have discovered that CF8 offers integration with MS Exchange.
I want to encapsulate the logic needed to sychronize with Outlook and then invoke it from the existing ASPX page.
I reviewed the CF8Tutorial but I'm not able to determine if my approach is feasible.
Can I encapsulate calls to MS Exchange thru coldfusion and then call them from aspx pages?
If so, is there any sample code that may be applicable (in concept if not in content).
If not, is my approach feasible?
thanks

Your ASPX page could do XmlHttpRequest calls to ColdFusion which returns the results in XML or JSON to be displayed on the ASPX page.

Basically, utilize AJAX with your calls going to the CF server so you can leverage the Exchange integration. That's definitely feasible.
