How to cast cfquery object to type java.util.Map

[_jt]

In the LiveDocs it says:
"..The following table lists how ColdFusion converts ColdFusion data values
to Java data types when passing arguments. The left column represents the
underlying ColdFusion representation of its data. The right column indicates
the Java data types into which ColdFusion can automatically convert the
data:

CFML | Java
Query object | java.util.Map .."

I was hoping this meant that a query object could be passed to a java method
that accepted an argument of the type java.util.Map and the query object
would be automatically converted ... or perhaps the query object could be
cast explicitly ... but so far I've had no luck.

Can anyone tell me if it is actually possible to convert a query object to
type java.util.Map and if so, how?

[_jt]

Any thoughts anyone?

Sorry, this is intensionally not allowed in CFML or CFSCRIPT.

Thanks for the response.

So, you cannot explicitly convert the object in CFML or CFSCRIPT. I guess
that's entirely possible. Do you recall where you read that?

What about passing a query to a java class then? The documentation makes it
sounds like you could pass a query object to a java class that accepts a
java.util.Map object and that CF could implicitly convert the query to a Map
object. But maybe my understanding of the section in the documentation is
wrong...
