Accessing JAVA classes and functions from CFML - Object instantiation exception

I want to access a JAVA function from CFML script:

<cfscript>
    authToken = createobject("java","coldfusion.security.SecurityManager").createAuthToken('admin', 'cfadmin', '12345', false);
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>authToken: #authToken#</cfoutput>

I got the following error:

Object instantiation exception.

An exception occurred while instantiating a Java object. The class must not be an interface or an abstract class. If the class has a constructor that accepts an argument, you must call the constructor explicitly using the init(args) method. Error : coldfusion.security.SecurityManager

I know is because the arguments passed directly to createAuthToken that I can't do and I should init() it. How can I correctly pass the arguments in this scenario?

It pretty much tells you what you need to do in the error message. But for the sake of clarity:

<cfset authToken = createobject("java","coldfusion.security.SecurityManager")
                    .init() // you might need some init() args here?
                    .createAuthToken('admin', 'cfadmin', '12345', false)
>

I'm not really sure why you bother to put that sinple statement into a <cfscript> block, btw. Would not a <cfset> do?
