Judah, I was only speaking of the practice of encrypting the source files.... which is far easier than a precompiled deployment (at least in my view).

If it was compiled with cfcompile, instead of being encrypted, it probably isn't going to do the OP any good. The problem with compilation in this scenario is that cfml gets turned into java classes which get compiled down to java byte code. You could use a java decompiler on the end results but you'll get the java classes out of that, not the cfml code. As far as I'm aware, there is no existing way to generate cfml from java classes, only cfml to java.
