A Better Way to Make a String Array

I was jumping through some hoops to generate a true Java String array in CFML yesterday to pass in to a web service API. Today, while talking to some of the guys on the CF team it came up that there is a really simple way to get an array of Strings in CFML: Use the Java String split() API!

Code before:

string = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.String");
array = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.reflect.Array");
cookies = array.newInstance(string.getClass(), 3);
array.set(cookies, 0, "x=1");
array.set(cookies, 1, "x=2");
array.set(cookies, 2, "x=3");

Code After:

s = "x=1,x=2,x=3";
cookies = s.split(",");

I would say the second way is much easier. It is using a regular expression, so it isn't going to go as fast as the first code sample, but for something like this I would not worry about it at all.
