Facebook apps wont run on ColdFusion 8

Hi all, been banging my head against the wall getting a simple "hello world" app running on CF8.  Apparently there is some issues with the form field validator in CF8?   At any rate more details are here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2205007948&topic=9278&post=69186#post69186 Looks like it is bombing on like 137 of FieldValidator.java with some sort of a null pointer exception. Has anyone come up with a work around for this issue?  With the recent surge in facebook apps it would be nice to be able to hold up CF and show people how simple facebook development in CF can be, so far it has been anything but... At any rate it does seem as though this is a new problem introduced in CF8 because the app runs fine when hosted from CF7. Any ideas?

Does it work if you downgrade to an older Java version? Jochem

Aye, you have to be a member of the facebook ColdFusion Group to see it ;) The most simple solution to this would be to turn off CF server side form validation if that is possible. Is it? The problem is not in the java code as such, just the way in which coldfusion is calling the code. I really hope there is a way of turning it off as it is one of the most blinkered things I have seen in ColdFusion, highlighted by the problem that Facebook developers are experiencing.
