tracker issue : CF-3039398

Problem:

The new CFC-Bean functionality breaks all version of Mach-II when used with the extremely common <event-bean> XML command in Mach-II because no init() available. An init() method has become the default best practice when programming in CFML and this feature breaks backward compatibility with Mach-II and other frameworks like Model-Glue, Fusebox and possibly ColdBox.  This affects Mach-II versions 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.0.10, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 and 1.8.0.While it should not be called automatically, a basic init() method should be available to call (with cfarguments for each property -- each argument is not required and has a default that corresponds to the value in the cfproperty).  This way it does not break backward compatibility with the current most popular frameworks for CFML and continues enforcing the best practices already in use by CFML developers.
Method:

The follow CFC-Bean fail on all versions of Mach-II when uses with <event-bean> XML command:<cfcomponent strict="true">  <cfproperty name="field1" type="int" /></cfcomponent> This also will fail on other CFML frameworks -- all which have a similar feature to Mach-II.
Result:

None. (Cannot no method named 'init' found).
