David,

Technically no. I've found it well summarized like this, Coldfusion is a 
developers tool, when used as Coldfusion, but when used as Java, it's an 
engineer's tool. Although I also say, Coldfusion is for Developers and 
PHP is for programmers. =D

In some sense I would see benefits, one being that you can customize the 
actual core by deploying your own Java.
Blue dragon is what I usually recommend for those who are shy to the 
high price tag of CF.

(And it would be JRun, Because Tomcat won't do the trick  =P)
