At the moment, if you use GetPageContext().include() on a JSP on my
SmarterLinux server you get a null pointer exception.

Regardless, 2 is the case and the code will run in the CF security
context of the calling page. The CF sandboxing takes over in this case.
Anyone can verify this on their own dev server (as I have just done).
Since the server is sandboxed this is perfectly acceptable.

Good question....There's two possibilities:
 
1) CF makes the request for the page via Apache (as I think it *should*,
to preserve the users' preferences about type handling, rewrites and
other such web server configurations).  In this case, the JSP is still
handled through Resin, same situation applies.
 
2) Cf is hijacks it straight to JRun (which I think is more likely,
since the user has put JSP code into a ColdFusion page, supposing that
CF will happily run JSP code from a .cfm page.  Not sure if that's
correct behavior or not.).  In this case, they have avoided the security
we have implemented.

Anyone care to test this?  Dave your account is on the only server
running this config on our network right now - can you test what he's
talking about?  Also, we'll have the other Linux CF servers done over
the weekend, I believe.
