In Part 5 (CFDJ, Vol. 3, issue 8), 'Java CFX Basics,' I identified some shortcomings of the CFX model. In Part 7, I demonstrate a number of workarounds and solutions to these problems. In many cases what I present here is viable across the board for all CFX types. However, this series deals specifically with Java interoperability, so I'll leave the modifications to you.

With Java's ever-broadening list of class APIs, your CFX has few limitations.However, shortcomings in the CFX model could make developing solutions a little tricky. Since the ColdFusion server bootstraps CFXs, debugging them poses certain challenges.

Prior to ColdFusion 4.5 a developer could only write CFX tags in a binary language that supported the dynamic linking capabilities of the target platform. For Windows it was C/C++ and Delphi and the like, any language that could create a DLL. For the UNIX platforms, it was pretty much the same thing - only with shared objects. Naturally anytime a CFX was distributed it needed to be compiled for the different platforms or the source code was required - which is assuming, of course, that the CFX was even designed to be ported!

There are times during the development of a ColdFusion application when CFML is not the best tool for the job. While this might seem to be a contradiction, it's true nonetheless. Allaire recognized this and while CFML has gotten to be a pretty pumped up scripting language, sometimes it's necessary to get a little help.
