For anyone else that might stumble accross this, I haven't
been able to find anything in the admin api of CF8 that would
facilitate this. I'm not sure if it's possible with some Java
classes, but then I can't imagine getting the coldfusion server
settings (DSNs' etc..) would be possible.
If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to let me know. I'll
take this as my own answer for now though.
