Hi,
This is in the init()
<cfargument
name="value"
type="any"
required="no" />
They are not mixed up, but good try.
When I use cfoutput as you suggested it still outputted the value "String".
When I take the <cfargument> (as per above) out and do a dump it shows an
argument with the name "2", I mean this is strange stuff right...

check that your property class doesnt have its cfargument mixed up.
ie. instead of type="string" default="" it might be default="string"
type="" ?
check that you are acutally passing arguments to super.init() (i dont
think it gets the arguments by default, hence you getting the 'default'
of the cfargument tag ?
try cfoutput too instead of cfdump. you might be seeing the left hand
side of the dump not the right. if you get my drift....its hard to
explain but in some intances when you dump get the data type (ie. you
are dumping a java.lang.string instead of the value)
hope this helps
