The term "bean" simply means that the object has getters and setters for its properties. So if you have a CFC with a firstName and lastName property, if the CFC has getFirstName(), setFirstName(), getLastName(), setLastName() methods, it is a bean. The term comes from a Java pattern, and it was created so that Java tools or frameworks always can interact with a Java object via getters and setters that follow this naming convention. As long as the object follows this convention, the Java tools have a known way to manipulate it.
