CFMX 7 - java.lang.NullPointerException occurred whenaccessing a Com object

[Karthi]

I tested the CFMX 7 (developer edition) with an application running in CF MX
6.1. I found that CFMX 7 is thowing the below error while accessing few of the
COM methods. Not all the COM calls are failling.

An exception occurred when accessing a Com object field.
The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.NullPointerException.

I first had the doubt that the COM hotfix of 6.1 didn't get carried over to 7.
But found in macromedia site that 6.1 update has the COM hotfix inbuilt. So I
hope that is already inbuilt in MX 7.

Is there any place i can look at which lists what is not supported in CFMX 7
that was previously supported by MX 6.1?
Or
Is this a bug with MX 7? Then, where & when can I find the hotfix?

The first few lines of the stacktrace is...

Just to reply to you that I am having the same problem with the new ColdFusion
MX 7 Server. I have had COM objects that have worked flawlessly for the
previous versions. Now they are faily, but not all the time. The error I am
getting is:

The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x800a0d5c - Object
is no longer valid. in 'ADODB.Field'.

I have a call in for support to get in touch with me on this.
I hope to have a solution soon.
I am grateful that we only updated the developer server and not the live
server.
It pays to test everything and not just believe what Macromedia is putting out.

Did you ever come up with a resolution? I am having similar errors using
cfdocument and can't find any help. I'm getting:

An exception occurred when performing document processing.
The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.NullPointerException.
