<cfproperty> doesn't actually set a variables in a standard CFC. In fact, I
think the only thing it does is help with the Meta Data if that? For a
standard CFC I would say don't worry about it at all.

Subject: cfproperty vs. setting variables for in a cfc

In creating a CFC, what is the difference between 

<cfproperty name="myVar" type="string" default="Hello">


<cfscript>
     variables.myVar = "Hello";
</cfscript>

I realize that the <cfproperty> tag is used for webservices.  But if I am
not creating a webservice, just a simple cfc is there an advantage in using
<cfproperty> over just setting the variable.  It would appear as though I
have the advantage of establishing a data type.
