I won't enter the debate of whether this is a good idea or not - but I've done this and it can be quite performant. Like Barney says - caching is the key. This still (obviously) incurs a small performance hit (and a larger hit on first access) but overall the difference is in the margins. Here's my implementation. Still works fine but it was built with CF 6: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/ColdFusion/DPLibraries/Ind ex.cfm Look at the root package for the stuff that handles meta-data caching, generic getter-setter and forced-typing stuff. If I were to rebuild I'd probably do it differently now... but I've been very pleased with this stuff for a long while now and have done some pretty high-use sites with it.
