That is entirely up to you, I thought from reading your post that you already had validation methods written into a CFC but were thinking you had to post the form to that CFC which was throwing a monkey wrench into your plans. There is no right or wrong way to tackle this. When I first started doing CFCs the method I used was to validate in a CFM file and if things passed I would then pass things into my CFC for the DB insert/update. That has morphed through many different methods for me over the years though.
