This has been answered on the CF-TALK list, but since I raised it here too,
I figured I'd best post the outcome here.
Sean's dead right. I wanted to verify that it was possible to load
coldspring onto my site and run it ok, before setting out to redevelop the
client's site using coldspring.
So I loaded up the COldspring files to the root of the site, and to test
it's installed ok, I ran the BeanFactory initialisation as in the
installation docs, as follows:
<cfset BeanFactory =
createObject("component","coldspring.beans.DefaultXmlBeanFactory").init()/>
<cfset
BeanFactory.loadBeansFromXmlFile(expandPath("/admin/cfcs/Coldspring.xml"),tr
ue)/>
Then in order to have something visible in the browser to check it was
working ok, I had a dump of the Beanfactory like so:
<cfdump var="#BeanFactory#" />
And it was the CFDUMP that was the culprit as Sean wagered. This is my
first CF8 site, and I didn't know that CFDUMP is different now and will
cause an error to throw under certain circumstances, and certain kinds of
variables, but not if you are dumping other kinds of variables. It's this
last fact that explains how come I haven't had problems using CFDUMP until
now - I usually CFDUMP strings or structs or arrays not components.
So . the bottom line:
[A] Coldspring apparently works just fine in this shared environment.
[B] you can not have a coldfusion mapping at hostmysite called "Coldspring"
since I explained the problems that would arise if anyone did. They have now
implanted a rule to that effect. Similarly with "reactor", "transfer",
"mach-ii" and "model-glue".
[C] using CFDUMP in come cases will throw an error that indicated the method
getClass() cannot be found. (apparently it's a function used by some
CFDUMPs.
Thanks Sean Corfield, Brian Kotek and all the others who helped me pin this
problem down.

This is where the exception originates. I'll bet there's a cfdump on that
line.
And I'll guess that somewhere in one of the CFCs that you're asking
ColdSpring to create, something causes the above file to be included.
Exceptions that occur during ColdSpring initialization can appear to
be from ColdSpring when they're actually from your own code.
