Developing ColdFusion MX Applications with CFML
Building Custom CFXAPI Tags

Chapter 12
Building Custom CFXAPI Tags

Sometimes, the best approach to application development is to develop elements of your application by building executables to run with ColdFusion. Perhaps the application requirements go beyond what is currently feasible in CFML. Perhaps you can improve application performance for certain types of processing. Or, you have existing code that already solves an application problem and you want to incorporate it into your ColdFusion application.

To meet these types of requirements, you can use the ColdFusion Extension Application Programming Interface (CFX API) to develop custom ColdFusion tags. This chapter documents custom tag development using Java or C++.
