<cfif len(obj.getUserId())> is usually how people do it,
but that can be frustrating if it returns 0, which means it
hasn't been loaded too.
<cfif len(User.getUserId()) and User.getUserId()> will
cover you if your userId is 0 (which means nothing's been
loaded because 0 isn't a valid pkey value in most cases).
