Hi Andrew, I'm used to procedural programming and only started thinking a little OOP since CFMX, I'm in no position to make any comments or accept anyone's comments (since there are so many different opinions), I think only time will teach me in this matter..

The main reason being that you lose the ability to tightly control that data from within the CFC, so breaking the encapsulation. That leads to increased overhead when you try to maintain the code, because you can't just look at what's happening inside the CFC before making changes. You have to also look at where it is used and how it is used to make sure none of the data in the this scope is being added, modified or removed by external code." Then if you treat them as properties, then what is your problem:-) This is how OOP works in Java and .Net and should be the way developers treat them in coldfusion! As properties, then you would know that there is an external influence. Even if you had a get/set method then you would have the same problem, treat them as properties and you will not go wrong. Taco if your reading this, I suggest reading on how classes are used in Java and follow there guides on how they do it and apply these rules to your framework and what best suits you.
