Can't update Coldfusion to Java 1.7 on OSX 10.9

Question

Running OSX 10.9.3 with ColdFusion 9.0.1. Was running on Java 1.6 and now trying to update to Java 1.7. I've updated CF with the proper hotfix for 1.7 compatibility. I installed the 64-bit 1.7 JDK as well.

Now I have Java in two places:

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk

When I run

java -version 

I get java

version "1.7.0_60" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode)

but when I restart CF it comes up and reports

Java Version    1.6.0_65  
Java Vendor     Apple Inc.  
Java Vendor URL     http://www.apple.com/
Java Home   /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home   

I changed the symlink in

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

to

CurrentJDK@ -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/

but a CF restart still reports Apple's 1.6. I also tried updating the jvm.config and setting java.home (which was previously blank) to

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre

and a restart and still no luck. Where is CF looking for the JVM and how to make CF see 1.7?

I posted a similar question Why can't I update Java from 1.6 to 1.7 on Coldfusion 9.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.8.5 but had no luck.

This answer below according to Adobe: (See comments 40-41). It appears that this configuration is not supported by Adobe. Time to upgrade (or move to OBD/PHP).
