You can't return full blown BOs but you can return CFCs that wrap the
struct as a "transfer object". For example I have implemented TOs
like this
<cfcomponent access="public" displayname="UserTO" hint="Tranfer Object">
<cfproperty name="userID" type="numeric" />
<cfproperty name="username" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="email" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="password" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="password2" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="firstName" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="lastName" type="string" />
<cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="userTO"
output="false" displayname="UserTO Constructor" hint="I initialize the
TO">
<cfargument name="userID" type="numeric" required="false"
default="0" />
<cfargument name="username" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="email" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="password" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="password2" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="firstName" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfargument name="lastName" type="string" required="false"
default="" />
<cfscript>
this.userid = arguments.userID;
this.username = arguments.username;
this.firstName = arguments.firstName;
this.lastName =arguments.lastName;
this.email = arguments.email;
this.password = arguments.password;
this.password2 = arguments.password2;
return this;
</cfscript>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
(http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/TransferObject.html,
" It is a design choice as to whether the Transfer Object's attributes
are private and accessed via getters and setters, or all the
attributes are made public.")
