Anyone using ColdFusion with Box?
A couple of our departments are longtime ColdFusion shops and want to build some apps against the Box API. They know they can dig down to the underlying Java and use the Java SDK, but before they do that they are wondering if anyone else using CF has taken a different approach.
Thanks in advance,

I thought for sure when I saw this come up in a Google bot, one that I use to follow what is up in the world of CFML, that you were talking about ColdBox stuff. Imagine CF developers talking about box and not about a ColdBox related product.
What kind of things are they doing with the API. I am not following why they are digging down into the Java or considering it. Can you kick me more details? While it might be nice to have something all prepackaged the use of an API ( https://docs.box.com/reference#api-docs-directory ) is something that we should be able to achieve.

I'm not really sure I follow your response. They are looking at the Java layer because of the SDK. They are trying to minimize the work they have to do. They are well aware of and versed in the API documentation. This group is building an application to interact with metadata in files and folders. They are part of our architects office and will be storing building plans, photos, etc.

I agree with minimzing work, and in theory the Java SDK is tested, which is a big win on that side of choosing. If they are able to jump in with Java, and it works with their skills it makes sense to lean in. If the skills don't match... just sharing my thoughts, not saying what is right for you guys. If the skills are not Java then using an API is not that difficult for most developers was my thought. Spin up your own SDK. 🙂
