Just a couple more comments and then I'll be quiet :)

In a shared JRun environment, you have access to the JRun
administrator, which allows you to define web apps.

That's the part I had forgotten about, which changes things considerably.

Unfortunately true. But if they could tweak sandboxes so that CF
looks to the virtual root rather than the web root to resolve
class references that would probably be sufficient.

Actually, shared JRun hosting can provide J2EE benefits. However,
I agree that if one wants CFMX + J2EE (or J2SE), it unfortunately
appears that shared hosting cannot be used.
