Yep, that would be nice to configure session behavior at the application level. What sort of problems have you run into with J2EE sessions when a site is coded for ColdFusion sessions? Is it just that CFID and CFTOKEN are no longer available in the session scope? I'm pretty sure that they are still available as client variables so an application could be modified but that could take quite an effort.
I just found this technote: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18232
I haven't actually implemented J2EE sessions on my production server yet and I think I might be in trouble from reviewing that technote. I have old sites that rely on CFID and CFTOKEN so I might be in the same boat as you are.
Arghhh.

It seems to me that it's the same trouble either way. Neither option is a
default, and both options are checkboxes in the ColdFusion Administrator. I
guess there is the matter of the cookie, but you're going to need code to
initialize your session scope either way.

We control all the servers. We just don't control all the code. :)
I ran into a few other issues with J2EE sessions. If you enable J2EE
sessions, cfid and cftoken are no longer available in the session scope (if
memory serves). If you're coding an app from scratch, that's not a problem,
however, many third part apps, have been designed to use ColdFusion
sessions.
Personally, I would really like to see J2EE sessions configurable at the
application level. Without that, they are pretty much useless to me.
