2.  It just doesn’t seem right to have a slide with bullet points that prompt me to talk about myself.

3.  Extend ColdFusion with “core” java  Extend ColdFusion with external java libraries  We will not talk about JVM tuning, writing CFX Custom Tags in Java, or writing your own Java classes.

4.  ColdFusion newbs  Never really used Java in ColdFusion  Just here for the networking

6.  Java Objects  Data Types  Creating and Initializing Java Objects  JavaCast()  Examples

7.  It all starts with java.langObjectjava.langObject  Java objects have methods, so ColdFusion variables do to.  Example 1

8.  Strictly typed, very picky!  Don’t assume!  Example 2

9.  In Java, create and initialize all at once, ie: foo = new ClassName(arguments)  In CF, use CreateObject() and init() method foo = CreateObject(“java”,”path.to.ClassName”); foo.init(arguments);  Multiple constructors / overloaded methods foo.init(“string”); foo.init(someint);

10.  Force a ColdFusion variable to be a specific data type  Example 3 & 4

11.  Object creation is expensive  Strings are immutable  Java StringBuffer object can help!  Example 5

12.  Where to Install  Java Loader  Examples

13.  Standalone: /lib  Multi-server Install, all instances: /servers/lib  Multi-server install, specific Instance: /servers/ /cfusion.ear/cfusion.war /WEB-INF/cfusion/lib  Anywhere you want!

14.  javaloader.cfc – Mark Mandel  Access classes without requiring them to be in the server CLASSPATH  Javaloader.riaforge.org Javaloader.riaforge.org  Example 6

15.  Generating Excel Files  Creating delimited text files  Extracting JPEG image metadata

16.  Apache POI – API to interface with Microsoft Office files  http://poi.apache.org http://poi.apache.org  Create Excel files in native format  Use more Excel features  Example 7

17.  JavaCSV makes it easy  Choose your delimiter  Automatic quoting when data contains your delimiter or even newlines  Example 8

18.  Digital cameras store lots of metadata in captured images  Timestamp  Exposure  Camera model  Lots of stuff I don’t understand!  Example 9
