CFC accessor method inserting carriage returns

[Cory P.]

I've created a bean type object called userBean. I query a Microsoft SQL
Server database and populate the bean object with the data.

userBean.setLastName(my_query.lastName);

When I use the accessor method, the data has a carriage return prepended to it.

[#userBean.getLastName()#]

Has anyone seen anything like this? This is very annoying when working with
forms. I would rather abondon the idea of CFC's over injecting code into my
accessor methods to trim all white space characters, just because I don't trust
the integrity of CFCs.

I have used CFC's very little but I've done lots of object oriented
programming in Java and Python.


<cfquery name="load_user" datasource="#DATA_SOURCE#">
select *
from users
where uid = 1
</cfquery>

<cfscript>
userBean = createObject("component",
"#COMPONENT_URL#.gov.nasa.user_bean");

userBean.setFirstName(load_user.firstName);
userBean.setLastName(load_user.lastName);
userBean.setLoginId(load_user.loginId);
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
Before[#userBean.getLastName()#]After
</cfoutput>

-------- Sniplet of Bean CFC -----------------
<cfcomponent>

<cfset this.lastName = "" />

<cffunction name="setLastName" returntype="void" access="public">
<cfargument name="lastName"
type="string"
required="true"
hint="The users last name">
<cfset this.lastName = #arguments.lastName# />

<cffunction name="getLastName" returntype="string" access="public">
<cfreturn this.lastName />
</cffunction>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Update - this appears to produce the more desired result. The myLastName
variable does not contain the carriage return. Why would setting a local
scaler variable produce different results?

<cfset myLastName = #userBean.getLastName()# >

<cfoutput>
Before[#myLastName#]After
</cfoutput>
