ColdFusion Wants You To Access The Underlying Java Methods

code-1.cfm

<cfset strValue = "This is my ColdFusion string value." />
<cfset strValue = strValue.Trim() />
<cfset strValue = strValue.ReplaceAll( ... ) />
<cfset strValue = strValue.ReplaceFirst( ... ) />
<cfset arrParts = strValue.Split( ... ) />

<!---
	Since we don't want to use the Java methods on the
	string, let's create an actual Java string and then
	use the methods on that.
--->
<cfset objString = CreateObject(
	"java",
	"java.lang.String"
	).Init(
		JavaCast(
			"string",
			"I am a ColdFusion string in Java"
			)
		)
	/>


<!---
	At this point, objString is now a Java String and we
	can use it's object methods to manipulate the inner value.
--->
<cfset objString = objString.ReplaceFirst(
	JavaCast( "string", "ColdFusion" ),
	JavaCast( "string", "Sexy ColdfFusion" )
	) />


<!---
	Output the new string value. Convert the Java string
	to a ColdFusion string using the ToString() method.
--->
#ToString( objString )#

<!---
	Create one Java String object that holds a Java String
	instance with explicit value.
--->
<cfset objJavaString = CreateObject(
	"java",
	"java.lang.String"
	).Init(
		JavaCast( "string", "Hello" )
		)
	/>

<!--- Create ont Java StringBuffer object that is empty. --->
<cfset objJavaBuffer = CreateObject(
	"java",
	"java.lang.StringBuffer"
	).Init()
	/>


<!---
	Check to see if these JAVA OBJECT are considered simple
	values or complext objects. They are both created in the
	same way and should act accordingly.
--->
IsSimpleValue: #IsSimpleValue( objJavaString )#<br />
IsObject: #IsObject( objJavaString )#<br />
<br />

IsSimpleValue: #IsSimpleValue( objJavaBuffer )#<br />
IsObject: #IsObject( objJavaBuffer )#<br />
