Possible to create JSR 286 portlet using Coldfusion?

Question

I was just thinking this morning, since ColdFusion is essentially built on JAVA, is it possible to create JSR 286 portlets using coldfusion?

A search revealed that it might be possible, but I cannot find any material on this?

Reason I ask is because I would love to be able to create Liferay compatible portlets with ColdFusion, as I am not a JAVA dev.

Thoughts? Does anyone have any tutorials or references on this subject?

EDIT

Is there anyways to get CF portlets without CF running in the container? I'm curious how this would work with having only one license of CF. Would I need another license to run under liferay (if I can even run in liferay?)

Answer 1

If you are on CF9 I think you can just extend CFIDE.portlets.ColdFusionPortlet

Here is a handout on it...

I saw this presentation at CFObjective 2009 and if I remember correctly, Adam was running portlets in websphere. But you will need to have CF deployed in the container, obviously
