Distributed Cache in Coldfusion 9 with Terracotta

So, I am told that you can use ehcache in CF to work as a distributed cache if you install the open source terracotta server. I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to do this.  I found the following article on doing it: http://www.coffeesix.com/2010/07/distributed-cache-with-coldfusion-9-0-1/ and after following the basic instructions and attempting to test it out... I get no noticeable error, but my page request seems to abort without error when calling either the cachePut() or cacheGet() functions. At the top of the page, before any output, I see the following: "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred." But, I cannot trap an error with cftry/cfcatch.. the page just stops executing. Anyone seen this behavior before? Rick -- *The beatings will continue until morale improves.*
