Brian, Just to confirm, you clone a copy of the transfer object and then attempt to set each of the properties with a <cftry><cfcatch> around it so if any of the properties fails to set you note it, and if no errors were detected you make a second pass at each property for the additional rules? If any errors were detected on either pass you return the cloned object to the form to re-populate the form. If no errors were detected, save the cloned transfer object, if saved successfully, update your original object from the clone?
Sorry if that is a little incoherent, but I want to make sure I am following you from form submission and back to the form if errors occur, and if not, persisting to the DB. I have read the other posts in the group here regarding changing the type to "Any" or not and I think that is what you were addressing here. Also the issue of making sure the session scope object in in sync as to what is in the DB.
