doing some thinking here, yeah amazing for a Monday eh?  I have an application with a 
multi-part form.  My first thought was to use CFCs to model the form, having a parent 
CFC with child CFCs for each 'section'.  Now, to do this all data in a CFC has to be 
exposed/manipulated.  IE getters/setters for every property in the CFC, or use of 
setProperty/getProperty methods.  After thinknig on this I'm convincing myself that 
this is poor use of CFCs, that is, there does not seem to be a compelling reason to 
use OO stuffs for this.  I can see creating a CFC or two for the biz logics, but not 
the form itself, have say a formhandler.cfc.  

Thoughts from the masters on this?  Is having a CFC with a one-to-one mapping of form 
fields to properties in the CFC worthwhile or just overhead?  I'm guessing this is a 
loaded opinionated question, but still, I'd like to see some thoughts.

Cheers!
