Problem:
ColdFusion should really be providing dynamic classloading to applications. This could be accomplished by a couple simple additions:
1) Add an optional third argument to createObject() for java classes:
createObject("java","com.foo.bar.Fiddle","c:\path\to\file.jar")
This would have the side effect of loading the jar file into the current context classloader so that all classes are available from that point on.
2) For the java/ejb variant of cfobject syntax, allow the following addition for the action attribute:
<cfobject action="load" classpath="c:\path\to\files\and\folders" />
This loads all specified classes into the context classloader.
