Integrating Java libraries

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Developing/WSe61e35da8d318518-106e125d1353e804331-7fff.h...

It's such a shame that this and indeed many pages in this online version of the docs still refers sometimes to "ColdFusion 10 Beta", and even sometimes "Zeus". Could someone from Adobe please find and correct all these mistaken references? It surely could lead some to confusion.

I just furrowed my brow when I read "ColdFusion 10 Beta lets you...", and was about to make exactly the same comment as you did, Charlie.

Note to Adobe doc writers: even during the alpha / beta there's no need to mention code names or betas or anything like that. If the stuff is in the beta and you've got to the point of documenting it, then it's gonna be in the final product, innit? So just refer to it as "ColdFusion".

och..guys ..is it problem?? ))

I am trying to realize their example, how use simplest java class on cfm. From their examples for CF9.

Two days passing as one minute, but I see only blank page.))

@faktor9, there seem a few problems with your observation here. First, since you're referring to CF9, you ought not be commenting on this CF10 page. Second, you're referring to a new feature in CF10 specifically, but raising a concern with using a Java class as per the "examples for CF9". It would seem you should raise your concern on a CF9 page, if anyplace (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7fff.html). If there's something on a page that's not working because of an error on the page should indeed be pointed out there.

But for general discussion of a topic, this comment area on these doc pages is not really meant to be a tech support forum. So really your question might be better suited to the "Advanced CF" forum, at http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion/coldfusion_advanced. And I'll just add before you may move on that the ability of CF to support Java integration is not at all new. It does work, and has for several releases.

Finally, if you're getting a blank page, I'd recommend traditional debugging steps to find out why: add a cfabort tag at various places to see what does/does not work (or consider using the interactive step debugging features of CFBuilder, etc. though that may be overkill for this), look at CF's logs, consider whether you have an error handler that's hiding error details from you, and so on. But really, again, this is not the place to discuss any of this further. Please do open a message on the forums instead.
