That would be shocking, but it's not the problem you're having.
Suffice to say that generally speaking, you don't want to post directly to a
cfc. The idea is to post to an action page like dostuff.cfm, and then in
that action page, do what you want with your objects (instantiate, call
methods, etc.)
In your action page dostuff.cfm you might have:
<cfset tempObj = createObject("component","temp")> <!--- instantiate
instance of object --->
Then to pass your form variable in,
<cfset tempObj.update1(form.tableName)> <!--- set property tableName in
instance to form value --->
Then you should get the desired result:
#tempObj.tableName# should return whatever you passed in above.
Of course since your object is not in the above case scoped into the
session, it would only be available for the duration of the request.
I won't even get into whether it's ok to use the THIS scope or not. That is
one of the most contentious issues when it comes to objects and CF.
