develop login application with coldfusion and java

Question

I am a beginner in ColdFusion. I just went through some tutorial to know the basic tags and functions used in ColdFusion. I am interested in developing a simple web application with Login functionality as the first step, where the username and password, entered in the form are validated in the back-end java code. I am not able to find out how to call a back-end java function to make the validation when the form is submitted. It would be of great help to start off my journey with ColdFusion.

Answer 1

Is there a reason you want to create the login validation in java? You may not be understanding what ColdFusion can do for you. You can create a fully-functional login using HTML, ColdFusion, and its connection to a relational database. This tutorial touches on a lot of that functionality.

It is possible to compile java objects and call them using ColdFusion, but this is definitely not beginner intro to ColdFusion tutorial material.
