ColdFusion and .NET Integration HAS ARIVED!

[zacbowling123]

This is the coolest thing ever. We currently have lots of ColdFusion
development on our frontend and tons of .NET on the backend, but all of it was
disconnected except via MSSQL stored procs. Not any longer!! You can read more
about that on my blog ([url]http://www.zacbowling.com/[/url])! I found this think called
Visual MainWin by Mainsoft. They offer a product that does .NET CLI byte code
conversion to Java byte code on the fly inside Visual Studio. Its main focus is
supporting ASP.NET on J2EE servers but it works amazingly well for this purpose
as well. However its not true, 100% .NET because the class libraries are
written using a port of the Mono projects class libraries (a project I'm an
official contributor on) but 99% of the functionality is there and it works on
any platform that J2EE will. This is the best solution I have found ever!
MainWin has quickly converted everything over for all our business objects and
libraries in a form that is callable from ColdFusion without making use of SOAP
or COM. We can now bring our development teams together! ITS SO FREAKING COOL!

Hi Zac,

If you are looking for a Java/.NET interoperability tool, I would also
like to introduce J-Integra Espresso which contains an Object Request
Broker (ORB) written in pure C# and thus connects Java and CORBA with
the .NET world. It supports ".NET to J2EE", "J2EE to .NET", ".NET to
CORBA" and "CORBA to .NET". For a free evaluation, visit our website at
[url]http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/[/url]

FYI, J-Integra Espresso is the sibling product of J-Integra for COM
which has been incorporated in ColdFusion to connect Java and COM.
