So my question is, is it important to implement listeners? For web only, then I'm thinking no, but if you are creating views for Java, Web Services, Flash, then does a listener need to be implemented, and if so how? CFDJ has quite a number of articles by Hal Helms I thinkon MVC in its archives.

keep in mind that listeners respond to events. In the traditional sense, this is applied mostly to UI applications - as there are tons of events triggered by use of a user interface. That's not to say that there isn't a concept of system events... but these aren't as applicable to CFML apps.
