I have validate() return boolean, and then have a separate getValidationErrors() method that can be used to retrieve an array of structs, one struct per error. You could use an array of error CFCs, but since errors are pure state, I don't see the real benefit of using a CFC over just a struct.
With this usage, it would be more proper to name your validate() method isValid() instead.
