I tried calling Java 7 objects from Cold Fusion10 today and I got nothing ... Literally, nothing. At the CFOBJECT tag, the script would just die. No error message. Nothing in the log files. Just nothing.
I made a Java 7 object, one class, one method, nothing special...Same results. Then I converted that project (one class) to JDK 6, and poof! The same object compiled using JDK6 works fine!

The above article states that CF 9 and 10 will support Java 7 through updates by February 2013 ... we'll we're getting close. I just downloaded all the updates and ...
Fail!
Even with all updates applied, the script just dies when i try to call Java 7 objects from CF 10. So now I've got all of this code written for JDK7, and I need to call it from CF10 ... What to do ... Looks like I might be converting a lot of code written for JDK7 to work with JDK6, which sucks, because I like try-with-resources, and I like the diamond operator ... a lot :(
