Fantastic, that's exactly the kind of input I was after. Thanks again Sean.

No, in the general case for CF. You'd have to explicitly write code to
accept a serialized object from somewhere and then use Java's
deserialization code to expand it back up to a real object. Most unlikely.

JRun session replication might possibly be susceptible to this since it
inherently accepts serialized objects (from other servers in the
cluster) but I strongly suspect you'd have a hard time fooling JRun into
accepted bogus serialized session data from a system outside the cluster...
