Roland, I have another related question. When you created CFCs, are they stateful in that they store data for the duration of the request or do you use them as mere function libraries? In other words, do you pass arguments to each and every method that is declared in the CFC?

Beans/DTOs are great for moving data between platforms and systems, but that's the only place I use them. When I'm working in CF, my methods are "parameters in, queries out". This saves the overhead of serializing and de-serializing beans on every call, which can potentially be a large bottleneck.
