Old ColdFusion doc needs to learn new Java tricks

I've put this for too long, and now there is real need for me to interface my CF code to vendor-provided class libraries written in Java. Have been coding CF apps for a long time; it's the Java side that I'm petty weak on.  Documentation on the Java libraries (mostly Google AdWords at this point) isn't too bad, and there are Java examples of using them in a 100% Java application.   I've found blog posting here and there that have tidbits of info on doing this sort of thing, but I'm sure that there's a lot more out there that would be helpful to me.  The problem is that with search terms like "ColdFusion" and "Java," given that CF is build on "Java" and that "Java" is popular in it's own right, the results of Googling have been pretty useless. Any points to resources to get this project kick-started? thanks everyone, Reed

If you mean you want to load a java library for use in CF, javaloader by Mark Mandel is fantastic. http://javaloader.riaforge.org/ - Gabriel ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Not really an answer to your question but, for what it's worth, I've written a lot of Google AdWords code and it's all CFML (using CF's native webservice/SOAP/XML functionality) and it was relatively easy.

Thanks for the note John - I didn't meant to imply that I was new to the AdWords API.  I have been programming against it from CF for a long time, mostly using CFXML and CFHTTP (since CFINVOKE etc weren't around when we started writing this stuff).  But with the total rewrite/rearchitecture for V2009 of the AdCenter API I'm weighing rewriting all of my stuff from scratch, or just interfacing to their Java client library and letting it do the heavy lifting in talking to their webservice. Especially since they haven't done a lot in the way of documenting what the actual SOAP requests look like.  Have you upgraded your code to V2009?   There's only 5 weeks left until V13 sunsets, so I gotta get rocking and rolling on this.

Yes, I upgraded to v2009. Not too hard but I also was annoyed by lack of sample SOAP reqs and have told Google so.
