Rob,
It's just a really lightweight version of an object that can be passed
around. It can also be used in the memento pattern (using a TO to
populate a bean). For example:
<cfcomponent displayname="userTO">
<cfscript>
THIS.id = 0;
THIS.firstname = '';
THIS.lastname = '';
THIS.password = '';
THIS.emailaddress = '';
</cfscript>
</cfcomponent>
This TO would then be handed to another object, for example a DAO:
<cffunction name="Save">
<cfargument name="to" type="path.to.TO" />
<cfset var qSave = "" />
<cfquery name="qSave" datasource="#getDSN()#">
UPDATE users
SET id = #arguments.TO.id#
,name = '#arguments.TO.name#'
<!--- etc... --->
<!--- and use CFQUERYPARAM! --->
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
