what about listColumns() ?
<cffunction name="copyTransferObject" output="false" hint="I copy one
transfer object to another">
<cfargument name="aObject" required="true"
type="transfer.com.TransferObject">
<cfargument name="bObject" required="true"
type="transfer.com.TransferObject">
<cfset var aObject = arguments.aObject>
<cfset var bObject = arguments.bObject>
<cfset bColumns = bObject.listColumns()>
<cfloop list="#bColumns#" index="columnName">
<cfset getter = "aObject.get#columnName#()">
<cfset columnValue = Evaluate(getter)>
<cfset setter = 'bObject.set#columnName#("#columnValue#")'>
<cfset Evaluate(setter)>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn bObject />
</cffunction>
