Beware Java For Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5

ColdFusion developers on Mac take note. Updating Java to J2SE Relase 5 will cause a "CFCServlet must be initialized" error when you use Application.cfc. Normally, I don't go hunting down the next version of Java to install, I simply neglected to uncheck this install during a recent Software Update.

If you have updated and are currently seeking a fix, my temp fix is to change the CurrentJDK symbolic link under /System/Library/frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions back to 1.4.2 (which, by the way was also update, but at least still works!).
