Problem Description:
We are experiencing strange Java bug in ColdFusion. Please find more details about ColdFusion version and serial number in the attachment. 
All involved scripts have been added as attachment. 

According to the log, it seems to be searching for the variable AGENTFULLNAME in the CGI scope, which is weird.

The truth is, this is not the only such error and this error has happened before with one of the other variables in the following code block:
_agentBranding.cfm – line 87:
<cfset CALLER.agentName = agentName>
<cfset CALLER.agentFullName = agentFullName>
<cfset CALLER.agentIsBranded = agentIsBranded>
<cfset CALLER.agentLogo = agentLogo>
<cfset CALLER.agentCorrBccEmail = agentCorrBccEmail>
<cfset CALLER.agentCorrUserEmail = agentCorrUserEmail>
<cfset CALLER.agentCorrColumns = agentCorrColumns>
<cfset CALLER.agentPhoneNumber = agentPhoneNumber>
<cfset CALLER.agentData = agentData>

There doesn't appear to be any any attachment with this bug.  Could you upload it?

This script appears to be accessing and creating many unscoped variables.  (I'm not sure without viewing all CF9 source.)

When returning multiple values like this, you could generate a single struct and return it.  It's a lot easier to troubleshoot as you can dump the entire struct for inspection without having to provide every unique variable name.  This would also avoid potential undocumented reserved name conflicts.

I recommend removing the serial # from the attachment.  It's not necessary to troubleshoot the issue.

I'm running 9.0.1, so I can't test this.  I also don't have same database configuration.  Do you have a smaller proof-of-concept test?  Something that doesn't involved database.   I called a module that returned these variables and didn't encounter any problems regarding the unscoped "Agentfullname" variable name.

I highly recommend using CFQueryParam around every value (especially FORM & URL) used in a database query otherwise it could easily be susceptible to SQL injection.

I also recommend using a variable scope when referencing your variables... even if it's just the local "variables" scope.  This would allow you to move away from evaluate() and use notation variables["VariableName"] and StructKeyExists(Variables, "VariableName").

Here is a similar post regarding this java error...
https://help.marklogic.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/75/0/explaining-and-preventing-premature-eof-errors-when-loading-content-via-xcc
"A possible cause of errors like this may be due to the JVM starting garbage collection and this process taking long enough as to exceed the server timeout setting. If this is the case, try adding the -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC java option"

We run a somewhat similar process to personalize data for real estate agents. Our garbage collection is configured with "UseConcMarkSweepGC" (it's not the default, but you can enable it on the server.)

Here are some other ColdFusion-related articles regarding this setting:

Adobe,

Can you please remove the ColdFusion serial number from the description above?

Thanks!,

We don't have the rights to edit the test config the user has given. I guess only the person who logged this bug can do it.

Hi,
The code you have attached has lot of database references and include some files that are missing. Can you send a small repro code so that we can verify the bug.
Thanks ,
Suchika.
