I found the issue. CF is returning the object type in all lowercase, so instead of seeing com.mycompany.myapp.model.TestVO, I see com.mycompany.myapp.model.testvo.
Is there a setting in one of the config files that would preserve the case? I currently have version 7,0,2,126814 of CF installed. If I change everything to lowercase, it works correctly.
