tracker issue : CF-3044057

Problem:

I would like to integrate pure Java code inside my CFML. Something like a <cfjava> tag or <cfscript language="java">.

I have a handful of use cases. For one, it is difficult to create a byte array for CF to read a stream such as the FileInputStream, which is required when interacting with some java libraries. The workaround now is to write my own class, compile it, put it in the server classpath or use Mark Mandel's JavaLoader (I am using ColdFusion 9), then call my method that gives me a basic byte[]. This enhancement would potentially allow me to write a function or put java code inline that could give me my byte array without having to do any extra steps - a huge time saver!

There are many other things that Java can do that ColdFusion cannot without going outside of CFML, and if we were allowed to do that easily, it would greatly reduce the need to write java files.
