While cfproperty values exist in metadata, they do not create real
values. Ie, <cfproperty name="name" value="ray"> will create data in the
metadata, NOT in the This scope or unnamed scope. Basically, don't make
the mistake of thinking <cfproperty> creates 'real' values.

Heh, I say if you want Java, use Java. ;)

Just curious - but where are you seeing bad examples of CFCs? While this
list is active, I'm not seeing CFCs used a lot in the 'wild'. CFCZone
has gotten 2-3 submissions, but not nearly as much response as CFLib did
when CF5 was released.
