Integrating CF with SpringFrameWork

[cskidmore]

Greetings. I'm here to learn to run before I learn to walk. lol.

Here's the problem. A colleague and myself are trying to integrate CF and
SpringFrameWork. We would like to the processing in the middle tier, inside
the Java application, and then pass the results back to the CF page through the
front controller.

I am aware of getting at the page context using getPageContext(), and I
thought we might stuff the model inside a HashMap, then add it to the session
scope using setAttribute(). Then in the CF page get the results back out using
getPageContext().getAttribute(). Next process the results inside the CF page
as java objects.

Is the a sound approach or can someone suggest a better direction for me to go
in?

There is a limited implementation of Spring concepts in CF that's
available; it's called ColdSpring:

There is another incarnation of this called ChiliBeans (I believe)
that's part of the Model-Glue MVC framework:

This might give you some additional resources/ideas.
