The cf functions called by CFAJAX don't live in a CFC - they are a in a .cfm file. Most people leave their CFCs unchanged, instantiating them somewhere and writing wrapper functions for them in the functions.cfm file. This provides the CFAJAX hints if you need them (which is not often necessary, depending on the return type; for example, I never use them) without having to alter the CFCs at all.
