That'd be us.  We have a database->CFC generator.

The state of the system is never finalized - we always look for tweaks.
What we have works well, but our latest version is not packaged for
distribution at this moment.  It generates CFCs to be run on CFMX 6.1,
but it requires CFMX 6.0 to build the CFCs.  A copy of the CFC generator
has been updated to support 6.1 by another developer here, but he's away
on a family emergency right now and I haven't seen it myself yet.  It
used to not work on the J2EE editions of CFMX, but I think that's been
fixed.  We use it to start every project and it works really well for
us.  It's used internally, so the FAQ is in my head and not all written
down.

What it does - it uses Java to look at your datasource and get the
tables and views.  Then pull out the columns and their attributes to
generate a CFC for each DB object.  It's nice because we use Java as
opposed to DB specific stored procs to get the info, so it's capable of
working with many DB platforms except Access (Access doesn't state it's
PK's properly).

Potentially more info and an old version of the tool can be found
http://buildcfcs.blogspot.com - which I'm migrating to www.smartermx.com
- but it's not a billable task to maintain those, so they don't always
get updated frequently.

I don't have much else to say except, again, our latest version isn't
packaged up currently.  I'll look to get a latest rev next week when the
other guy gets back and we can coordinate our builds.  If there is
interest, I'll post back when it's updated, or check out the site next
week.

Yes, I know some folks on the West Coast who have built a system to 
generate CFCs for persistence from a database schema. I don't know what 
state their system is in and I don't know yet how public it is...
