To clarify a bit further, CF9 added an accesssors="(yes|no)" attribute to the creation of a CFC. If your CFC is defined as Persistent (using the new ORM functionality) this defaults to Yes and those setFoo and getFoo functions will be created implicitly. If you do not set the persistent flag, the value of accessors defaults to No. Then on individual cfproperty tags you can also specify whether to create an accessor and/or mutator for that particular property. I'm not sure what would happen if you set accessors="no" on your cfc and then declared the cfproperty tags with implicit accessor/mutator turned on. I'm guessing that it would ignore the attributes in the cfproperty tags and the variables/functions would not be created.
