Let me add - though - that I encourage the use of cfproperty. Like I
said before, it can be used for validation, and it also shows up when
you display the CFC, which adds a helpful reminder of the data your CFC
uses.
FYI - I'd rewrite your method like so:
<cffunction name="returnname" returnType="name">
<cfargument name="FullName" type="name" required="yes">
<cfreturn Fullname>
</cffunction>
Notice the use of returnType? This adds another layer of protection in
your CFC to ensure you return the right type of data.
