That should work. Implement the public vars as setter functions. That way you can debug to see if they are getting hit.
In this example I am doing pretty much the same thing as you, maybe you will see what is different. http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=558 And try hardcoding the strings you are passing.
