Mike, your descriptions are helpful. I do have one question though: do you always instantiate the user bean with *all* the columns in the user table? Sometimes I might want to only access the user's email address for example. In one application I have about 25 columns in the user table, much more than the usual name/address/email/phone etc. So, there would be a performance hit in carrying all the columns when maybe I only need the email address for certain things. Apply this to a whole recordset with 1000 rows for example, rather than a bean, and the performance hit is multiplied. Do you handle this with a conditional in the CFC, or do you just get all the columns no matter how the user bean is being used?
