Bad DBA or Bad Developer?

,

I was browsing a public web site from a large company today, when I saw the error page shown below.  It looks like they are using ColdFusion to talk to SQL Server using JDBC, and they are missing a stored procedure called getBladeList.  This made me curious as to what might have happened.  I don’t know about Cold Fusion, but with ASP.NET, you can configure the web server to not expose such detailed error information to the end user, which is a good idea.

It also looks like the web site is hosted by a third party, rather than the actual large company.

Judging by the name of the SP and the purpose of the web site, this seems like a pretty important SP that was not just recently added by some rogue developer. Maybe the SP was accidentally dropped or renamed?  Maybe the code was changed to call a different stored procedure?
