Using CFC as Controller for the action of a form works very well with CFMX, especially for "MVC" implementation.
You just have to do a redirect to the next view/display layer at the end of the method (for example with a cflocation).

I am trying to figure out the logical flow of processing when using a CFC as the action of a form? Where does the application end up? What scope does any data returned at the end of the called function with <cfreturn ...> end up in? Basically how does this work and how does one use this functionality? The below example works in that the correct function of the method is called, the correct parameters are passed and the query returns the correct data. But now what? What I would like is that the query is returned from this function so that I can deal with it in the display layer of my application. But, I can't figure out how to get out of the function? Any suggestions or links to reference material would be most appreciative.
