Consume BlazeDS service from ColdFusion client? Cannot require Flash Player.

[Guest]

Our current project is being written in CF9. We have been mandated to not require our customers to install any third-party plugins, such as Flash Player. Unfortunately, our back end data is a presented as a java-based BlazeDS service.

I was thinking to wrap a proxy CFC around the backend service but it seems that ColdFusion doesn't know how to consume BlazeDS. I don't see a way to do it wih CreateObject.

Is the way forward to create a java wrapper?

I am hoping that I am missing something really obvious and simple.

Well I can't really be much help here because I have never used it but I thought ColdFusion comes installed with some sort of BlazeDS functionality.

Thank you, Miguel, for your reply. Yes, ColdFusion will serve BlazeDS but I don't know how to make it connect to an existing service. In all those examples, Flex is the AMF consumer. You'd think it would be simple, eh?
