ColdFusion plays great with java. What I did just uses twitter4j lib ( http://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/index.html#introduction ) to handle everything. It works like a charm, and much more comprehensive that you ever dreamed of writing yourself. In addition, it is free.
I would try this before I hit my head against the wall, trying to figure out how to sign oauth requests and reinvent the wheel.
