awesome, when will this be out?
we're in a bit of a need to talk to java and .NET objects - so that'd be great once it's available.

Amy, Ben said ColdFusion 8 would be released the middle of 2007, he would not specify anything more exact. My guess is that we can expect to see this released before the MAX Conference at the end of September.
