I wish I had kept an eye on this thread! Apologies to Mike - when working around the 'Disable Access to ColdFusion Java Objects' setting in CF8, I ran into the issue that you can't use cfdump on many things.
On some things you can, and on other things you can't. The reason is this - by turning this setting on there is a security policy that goes into effect that restricts external access to anything that is coldfusion.* - which includes trying to access and / or interogate any class or classpath that uses that space. If you do a lot of CF/Java integration, you will quickly notice that you can't get to the CF classPath, if you want it, and trying to call ..getClass() (often through reflection) on CF objects causes the error that you just saw. I would expect that CFDUMP does call getClass / does some sort of java meta data introspection on the objects it is attempting to dump - which in turn throws this error, as it won't be allowed. This setting - while essential for Shared Hosts, is a pretty damn big sword that cuts through many things, including aspects of cfdump, access to CFCProxy and some other bits and pieces that I can't think of right now. I think in the coming months, we're going to hit various pieces of functionality that will be broken on shared servers because of this setting.
